HILARIOUS SARAH.
JUDGE TERRY's WIDOW is SENT
TO AN INSANE ASYLUM.

Hex Old Black NANNY TeIIs Of
Her queer Actions she guess
tiOns Her Nurse and Alternately
Weeps and Laughs.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.-Sarah Althea
Sharon Terry was committed to the asylum
for the insane at Stockton today. Judge
Levy held court in Judge LaWler's court
room, but even these larger quarters were
crowded with spectators. Mrs. Terry, now
ever, did not seem surprised or nervous at
the sight Of so large number of strange
faces, but when the case opened she began
weeping. Nanny Pleasant, Mrs. Terry's
colored nurse was the first witness. She
related various incidents recently occurring
to indicate Mrs. Terry was insane. "She
is constantly talking about spirits and
Judge Terry, " said Nanny Pleasant, land
am afraid she may harm herself or 9TH
ers" Mrs. Terry here arose and asked per-
mission to question the witness, which the
court finally granted. She then put long
series of interrogations to witness, which
covered her doings from the time
she left the Culbreth residence
until she finally left Nanny Peasants
house. To some questions witness said:
Don't let us talk about that
"But want to, Z responded Mrs. Terry.
II want to show you who has the best
memory, Why did you have me arrested ~
she asked.
II did not say your mind was wrong"
responded Nanny Pleasant, II said YOU
were affected by spiritualism."
Mrs. Terry denied that she believed in
in spiritualism, but said she believed in
electricity. She then wandered in her ques-
tioning, and finally, in telling how she
treated Mrs. arks, whom she did not like,
Mrs. Terry, ike into hilarious laughter.

THE CALIFORNIA COUNT.
THE RESULT IN THE STATE NOT
YET KNOWN,
Harrison Gradually Gaining But the
Chances Are that Cleveland Has
the Electoral vote-Con-
gression al Returns.

SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. 10.-Tbe latest
returns from California tonight seem to
place the result of the presidential cleo
tion in this state very much in doubt.
Computstions made on the stetssvote
this afternoon indicated that Cleveland
would have plurality OF about 5000.
Returns had been received then from
1889 precincts out of total of 1924, out
tide of San Francisco, and these gave
Harrison plurality of 544S. The re-
turns from San Francisco are incomplete
and conflicting, but the latest bulletins
published this afternoon gave Cleveland
a plurality in this city of 1922, making
Cieveland's plurality in the state at
large 2474.
The chairman of the Democratic state
central committee claimed that Ceve-
lands plurality would be 1900, and the
Republican committee conce ded the state
to Cleveland by small plurality. But
the returns from the interior of the state
came in rapidly during the afternoon.
One hundred and thirty precincts re-
ported between noon and the time the
last computation was made tonight, and
these precincts were principally in sev-
eral large counties, Los Angeles, San
Bernardino, Kern and Fresno among the
number. These later returns not only
increased the total vote over 10000, but
they also increased Harrison's plurality
nearly 200O.
The computation made tonight was
upon the returns from 1859 out of 1924
precincts outside of San Francisco, and
the result was: Harrison. 8l,980;
Cleveland, 1855; Weaver, 10 2l1; Har-
rison's plurality, 7445. Taking Cleve-
lands plurality in San Francisco at 1924
it gives Cleveland net plurality of AT.
There are still 18 counties in the
state from which less than two
thirds of the precincts have re-
ported. These counties are Alpine,
Calaveras, Del Norte, Humboldt, Inyo,
Lake, Mendocino, Merced, Modoc, Mono,
Napa, Shasta. Siskiyou, Sonoma, Sutter,
Trinity, Tuolumne and Ventura. These
counties complete gave Harrison i'll
1888 a plurality of 542. According to
these figures it seems that the ultimate
result will depend upon Clevelsnd's
actual plurality in San Francisco, and
the final returns from the 455 precincts
in the interior which have not yet re-
ported.
The Republican state committee con.
cede that Cleveland will have 5000 plur-
ality in this city. The Democratic state
committee claim 5000 plurality in the
city, and the Democratic county COM
mittee claim 5000.
The Republican committee concede
that the Democrats will have a majority
OF one or two on joint ballot in the legis-
lature. The Democrats claim major
ity of to 8.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-11
THE LEGISLATURE.

It VIII Be Democratic on Joint
Ballot.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-The Even
ing Post has received returns from all
hut one legislative district in the state.
Its figures show that the senate will
stand: Republicans, %; Democrats, IS.
Assembly: Republicans, SO; Democrats,
45; non partisan, l doubtful. 1. This
would give the Democrats So votes on
joint ballot, insuring the election OF a
Democrat to succeed FELTON, as United
States senator.
The Cali, Republican, makes the fol-
lowing calculations on the political COM
plexion of the legislature: All
of the Districts have been heard
from and the returns are in except
from the Sixtieth assembly district. In
the senate, with IA holdover senators,
the Republicans will have %, and the
Democrats, with six holdovers, will have
II. In the assembly the Dem
ocrats will have AZ. the Republicans
"a, non-partisans, 2, and Populists, l.
On joint ballot the Democrats will have
SO and the Republicans 81. As 81 votes
are necessary for majority, this leaves
the balance of power in the hands
OF the non-partisan, and one Populist
assemblyman. These three men were
formerly Republicans, and it ia thought
on the election OF United States
senator they will vote with the Kepub.
licans.

OHIO STILL In DOUBT.
RETURNS IN THE BUCKEYE STATE
INCOMPLETE.
It Is Possible that Harrison Has the
Electoral Vote No Material
Change Reported in
Other States.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 10.-The result OF
the election in this state ia still in doubt.
The indications ere that only the Of
fetal canvass will decide it. The Demo-
cratic state committee has authentic re-.
turns from 76 counties, and, estimating
the results in the other IL, claims that
Cleveland carried the state by 1870, and
that Tayler, Dem, is elected secretary
CT state by greater plurality, The Re
publican committee has received word
from all the counties except four, and
estimating the results in these, claim
the election of Taylor, Rep. for secre-
tary OF state. by 14l3, and that Harrison
has carried the state. The Democrats
elected IL congressman and the Republi-
cans 10.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.-It will take the
official returns to decide the result on
the national and state tickets, though
the chances are largely in favor of the
Democratic state ticket. Unofficial re-
turns received by both committees at
Columbus vary little.
ALLIANCE, Nov. 10-One of the big
surprises of the election was the selec-
ton. of DR.. Geo. P. Ikirt, Dem, in this
(McKinley's) district, for congress.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 1O.-At Republi-
can headquarters at midnight, the re-
turns rereived showed plurality of
1850 for Taylor, Rep, for secretary of
state. Gains on the official returns
have been gradual and steady for the
Republicans. At Democratic headquar-
ters, while admitting that the tide is
against them sgain, small Democratic
plurality is still claimed, and the COM
mittee says it will be necessary to get
the official vote.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-11
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
A Clear Democratic Majority OF at Least
One Hundred.

L6dbB
One Hundred.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-An analysis of
the congressional election returns shows
that, with returns missing from 20 dis-
tricts in which the result is either un.
known entirely or very close, the Dem
ocrats have elected for the Fifty. third
congress so more representatives than
the Republicans. This majority does
not include nine members-elect who are
classified as either fusionists or third
party men, nearly every one of whom
will act with the Democrats in any pro-
posed reduction Of tariff taxes. Their
support, with the additional strength
the Democrats are certain to derive
from securing come of the 20 districts
put in the unknown column, makes it
conservative to estimate that the Demo-
Gratis have majority of 100 or more on
the most important question to come
before the next house of representa-
tives, viz: revision of the Mckinley
tariff law. A number of fusionists are
thoroughly in accord with the Demo-
cratic policy on ell other questions. 1t
is said that with the exception Of Davis
and Baker the five fusionists from Kan
gas are inclined towards the Democracy.
The silver states of Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Nevada and Colorado split
even on the congressional election, three
Republicans coming from the three
states fret named, and three fusionsts
from the two latter states. Newlands of
Nevada is H. clined toward the Repubii-
cans.
