NEW YORK, Nov. Sat midnight
Chairman Carter, Of the Republican COM
mittee, said:
1.-THE abnormal Democratic maJorities
In New York and Brooklyn will be diff
cult TO overcome by Republican gains
throughout the State. Our Democratic
friends seem to have understood their
party needs in the State Of New York

lied upon three distinct combinations, and
two of them yet remain intact. even II the

sured, and the Republican victory in that
State Is certain. 1 am In receipt or teie-

DEATH OF NORMAN NEBLE"T.
He suecumbed to Blood Poisoning at
Louisville This Morning.

The LEAF-CHRONICLE is called
upon again to announce the death OF
of a young man just on the verge of
manhood, with bright promise of a
useful future. Norman Neblett, old
est son of Jones d. and Clara Neblett,
died at Norton Infirmary, Louisville,
this morning at two o'clock.
To many readers of this paper the
Affections of this young man for the
past three years are known. Briefly
stated, in the fall of 1888, as he was
coming to the city from his fathers
country home to attend meeting of
the Y. M. G. A., his horse fell with
him and, catching his foot, mashed
it. The wound was considered of
little consequence at the time, but
developed most seriously. A year
ago amputation OF the foot became
necessary, but this did not end the
matter, and month ago he again
went to Louisville that he might
have the attention of the best surgi-
cal skill in his Affections. Little
hope was given him and his family
and friends feared the worst. The rest
is soon told Blood-poison set in, and
this morning he breathed. his last.
Norman Neblett was born Feb. 26,
1870, and was consequently nearly
% years old. He had always lived
in GAINESVILLE and was known to a
large part of the community. OF
good address and manly, generous
nature, he won friends and kept
them. His character was founded
on the bedrock of a Christian life.
He had built well here, and there is
no doubt as to the hereafter. Few
young men in the city took as much
interest in matters that pertained to
the better side of life, and none had
SUMMER dispositions that reflected
more truly the perfect image of a
correct life. He had fitted himself
for business, and gave promise of a
successful and honored career in this
respect. In his youth he attached
himself TO the Christian church, and
at the time of his death. was one of
its official members.
Mr.. and Mrs. Neblett, who had
been with Norman for several weeks,
will arrive in tie city with the re-
mains on the 1852 train tonight.
They will be taken to the
Christian church on Madison street.
The funeral has been fixed at
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, at
the Christian church, with inter
ment at Greenwood.
The stricken family have the deep
est sympathy of the community in
their loss.
