LOUISIANA AT THE POLLS.

Elected Governor.

Foster. the AnF-Lottery Candidate,
Elected Governor.
NEW ORLEANS, April 20.-The latest
returns indicate that the anti-lottery
Democratic state ticket, headed by
Murphy j. Foster, is elected by plurali-
ties ranging from $4,000 to 10000. The
city ticket is in doubt.
The polls closed here at o'clock last
evening, after the most important and
one of the hottest elections ever held in
the state. Reports received from all
parts of the state are to the effect that
the heaviest legitimate vote In years has
been polled, but owing to the large
number of tickets in the field and the
numerous officers voted for, returns are
being received very slowly.
There were five state tickets voted for,
one headed by McEnery, Democrat; one
by Foster, Democrat; one by Breaux,
Republican,; one by Tannehill, Peoples
party. and one by Leonard, Republican.
Telegrams being received here indicate
that McEnery has failed to maintain
the strength he displayed in the March
primaries. In some of the large par

Four Squares of Buildings Reduced to
Ashes.
KENosHA, Wis, April 20.--Fire broke
out yesterday in the factory of the
Northwestern Mattress company, in the
eastern part of the city, on the lake
front, close to the government pier.
The local fire department appeared half
an hour after the alarm was given, and
the fire was then beyond control, COM
.etely destroying the mattress works.
The works had frontage of 400 feet on
the lake by 1j0 in width. 49,
The flames then spread to the works

pletely destroying them and the Bald

the fire spread to the Head & Sutherland
lumberyard covering four squares.
The burned district extends from Ex-
change street to the river on the north,
and south to Market street, and east to
the lake. Two engines came from Ra-
cine, two from Milwaukee and one from
Waukegan, which, with the local en-
gines, finally got the fire under control.
A number of dwellings were among
the buildings burned, but no loss of life
is reported. Estimates of the damages
are almost impossible to obtain. One

keeper. Mrs. Specht had her husband
arrested at Canal Fulton several days ago
and then came TO Canton where she swore
out warrants before Justice RiDgle charg-
ing her husband Carl Specht with living
in state of adultery with Nina Karin,
whom she charged with fornication, from
April 1, $780, to April 8, 1892.
Constable Slagle went to Canal Fulton
yesterday afternoon and brought the
couple to Canton. The woman waived o
hearing, while Specht offered TO go on her
bond, but as he was under bond for $500 at
Canal Fulton this was refused. Specht
did not find bail last night and Nina
Karin was, with a four year old child,
booked for a nights lodging in the county
jail.
Mrs. Specht who is nice looking old
German lady, was seen this morning and
said that she and her husband had lived
happily in Wilmington, Delaware, for a
number of years. She said Specht was a
brewer and worth about 100000. About
1889 she says Nina Karin came to work at
the house. Soon she began to hear bad
reports about the manner In which her
husband and the servant were getting
along together. These she did not believe.
In 1890, she said, she discharged Nina
Karin, Soon after her husband went
away to near Towanda, Pa, where he
purchased brewery. Specht wrote to
her several times, she says, asking that
she come to live with him, which at last

year-old child which she said was hers
and Sprechts, had been taken out this
morning by Specht who had ccme in with
a prospective bondsman. She said that
all Mrs. Specht wants is money, and that
it is unjust to blame her for the loss of the
Wilmington property, as it went by Sher-

claims were not kept up. Afterwards she
said that Mrs. Specht wanted her husband

AN INDIRECT TEST VOTE ON THE
SILVER QUESTION

Mr.. HlII Balted His Hook For western
Votes without Commltting Himself in
Favor of Free Coinage-The Record
Abuse Comes Up in the House.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The feature
Of the open session of the senate was
the short, but spirited debate on an
Arizona funding bill, which by in
direction brought up the silver question
and resulted in yea and nay vote on
the question of striking out the words
"gold coin" and inserting lawful
money of the United States" in the in
terest bearing provision of the bill. This
amendment was carried by % to 81,
but Mr.. Gray, of Delaware, who voted
in the negative, took occasion to deny
that the vote had any bearing on the
free coinage question. Mr.. Palmer, of
Illinois. who voted the same way, ex-
planned that he did so in recognition of
the right of Arizona to manage her own
affairs in her own way, and to pay in
gold IL she wanted to. Mr. Hill, of
New York, voted for the amendment
without comment.
In the executive session the Bering

His Presidential boom in Ohio was
started by enemies in his own party and
he fears that anything OF this sort now
emanates from the Foraker people.
This question, typewriter, was handed
to Gov. Mckinley to-day:
"In view of the fact that there is dis
position in many quarters not to re-nomi-
nate President Harrison and that your
name is most frequently mentioned in
connection with the nomination with
Harrison eliminated), would you accept
the nomination or allow your name to go
before the convention?n
The Governor read it carefully and then
said:
"You do not expect me to answer a
question like that, do your"
The response was in the affirmative.

ton directly. His entire manner, how
ever, was at the furthest extreme from

CHICAGO, April 20.-It is probable that
the printers in the job offices and weekly

May for a raise of cents per 1 200 ems
from their present wages of 35 cents.
Some of the offices have been notified of
the proposed advance. The union will

new scale shall go into effect. The
union is closely organized, and it is be-
lieved that many employers will grant
the demand without strike, though it
is probable that some will refuse.
