Part OF the Portland vote was not
counted until daylight. Cram, Repub-

this city the Republicans elect five
representatives to the legislature and
the Democrats one. Returns from the

The great fight in tho county was over
the election OF sheriff Sheriff Cram
had by his activity in enforcing the
liquor laws made himself obnoxious to
a certain element, and it was thought
that enough Republicans would vote
for Sweet to secure Grants defeat.
In the third and Fourth districts
Milliken and Boutelle are reelected
without the shadow Of doubt, although
the former ran behind his ticket.

New YoRK, Sept. l3.-At $3.50 o'clock
this morning the situation OF affairs at
Fire Island and in this city was grave,
but the ending was only in one direc-
tion. A crisis had arrived and was met
by the state authorities with troops.
The Cepheus with her cargo OF help
less women and delicate children was
still anchored in the chanel of Fire
Island and their sutferings during the
night are described MS having been
most intense. Men paced the deck all
night, or reclined upon the bare decks
while snatching few hours of restless
sleep. The women dnd children
huddled together, crying and praying
in the warmest corners to be found, or
slept the sleep OF exhaustion upon the
seats OF the excursion boat, ii lucky
enough TO secure such points OF want
age. Delicate ladies tried to rest upon
comfortless chairs and on the floor and
all bitterly bewailed their harsh fate
and the devilish hard.hcartedness OF
the bay men Of Long Island.
1t was only after the most earnest
prayers that the latter allowed some
food to be sent to the half famished
passengers whom they condemned to ei-
ther starve or 90 back to New York.
Cold, hunger and exposure would GER

Loon LAKE HOUSE, N. Y, Sept. 49,
President Harrison makes NO effort to
conceal his great anxiety over the con-
dition OF Mrs. Harrison, and has been
at her bedside during the entire day.
The whole family share his deep con-
cern, and all are evidently apprehen-
sive Of a continuance OF the present un-
favorable symptoms. They are doing
their utmost to cheer the patient up
and have succeeded so well that that
she is not fully aware OF the extreme
gravity of her case. She rested COM
fortably during the day. and DR.. Gard
ner, who was in constant attendance
upon her, said that there had been q
slight improvement since yesterday.
DR.. Dougherty, the New York spe-
cialist, is expected to arrive here at
midnight He will be brought from
Malone on a special train over the
Webb road.
1t is expected that an official bulletin
will be issued in regard to the case
after the consultation of the two physi-
clans tonight. The family prefer to
say nothing in regard to Mrs. Harrison's
symptoms until this medical examina-
ton shall have determined the precise
nature Of the malady.
DR.. Trudeau, OF the Saranac Sanitar-
ium, will join the other doctors in a
consultation tomorrow morning with
view to determining whether Mrs. Har-
rison is physically able to stand the
fatigue OF a trip to Washington. She
has frequently expressed desire to go
there, and the transfer will be made il
it is deemed advisable.
The Presidents future movements
will depend entirely upon the state of
Mrs. Harrison's health and it now
seems likely that he may have to
abandon his purpose of being present
at the Grand Army encampment at
Washington next week.
ga. MIR. Doughty, of New York,
arrived at u: 80 o'clock this morning by
special train from Malone, and pro-
ceeded at once to Mrs. Harri-
sons bedside accompanied by her
regular physician, DR.. Gardner,
Of Washington. The president was
also present. Mrs. Harrison was
asleep at the time and it was deemed
best not to arouse her.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 13.-The Repub-

just been called to order in the McKin-
non Opera House this afternoon when
the balcony gave way. The house was
crowded with delegates and spectators.
The balcony was not supported by pill
lars but by two iron girders from
above. Fortunately only one OF the
girders gave way or the loss OF life
would doubtless have been very great.
As it was, ono end OF the structure fell
and making an inclined plane allowed
the spectators to slide of to the floor.
One person was fatally injured. w.

New YoRK, Sept. 13.-It was rumored
around the health department this
afternoon that two cases OF cholera had
been discovered in the city, but Health
Commissioner Bryant stoutly denied
the truth of the report. He stated that
two or three suspected cases OF cholera
had been reported and that they were
now being investigated. He did not,
however, believe them to be cholera.
Chief Inspector Roberts, OF the health
board, said he hao :lder investigation

possible, and were only allowed to go

meal times. Twice day the passen.
