DENSE FOG IN LONDON.

Electric Lights and Gas Needed at Mid
day.
LONDON, Nov. 12.-Dense fogs have
been prevalent in London for a week
past. At noon to-day the atmosphere
became thicker than ever and the
blackness of midnight set in. The gas
and electric lights were in use every
where in the city, but in the streets
their rays were unable to penetrate
the dense mass of Vapor that
hung over the city SO heavily
that it appeared to make it's weight
perceptible. The usual roar of
traffic was greatly diminished for many
careful draymen and others refused to
accidents. The traffic that was done
was carried on under great difficulties,
and it was only by the exercise of their
greatest care that accidents were not
more numerous, though some serious
casualties were reported. These
consisted mostly in runovers. The
lawless element took advantage of the
occasion and were everywhere active.
1t is utterly impossible for the police to
recognize them, and the dense fog rem
dered robbery an easy task. 1t is feared
that many fatalities will occur at the
docks which are veritable death traps
in such weather as tie present. On
the London and india docks posts
supporting chains have been erect
ed, and this will prevent loss of
life there. At other docks numerous
other persons have fallen into the river
and never been heard from until their
bodies were picked up by boatmen.

numbers ahead of Harrison in Hamilton
County.
COLUMBUS o., Nov. 10.-At Republic
an headquarters at midnight official re-
turns on the head of the ticket had
been received from fittyfour counties,
and with the others carefully estimated,
show a plurality of l ,460 for Taylor
(Rep.) for secretary ofstate. The gains
on the official returns have been grad
ual and steady for the Republic
ans. The chairman thinks these figures
will be about as nearly correct as
possible until the official canvass is
made. At Democratic headquarters
they authorized the statement at II p.
NJ. that the figures then indicated a
small Democratic plurality. The COM
mittee is claiming 500 plurality. The
Republican committee also claim the
selection of the presidential electors,
although Taylor Rep runs little
ahead Of Harrison.

The strike has just been declared off.
New ORLEANS, La, Nov. 10.-The big
strike here is expected to be declared
off before morning. The arms of the
volunteer militia, which is to augme Mt
the regular state troops, arrived to-day
and were in readiness, but the gas and
and electric lights were started without
any but police protection, and the call
was expected to hinge upon the run
ming of the street cars. The presidents
of the street car lines could not arrange
to start before morning and the at
tempt was postponed until 10 o'clock
tomorrow. The first cars will be run
on st. Charles Avenue, which is wide
enough to permit the movement of the
troops. This afternoon a move was
made which is doing great deal to set
tie the strike without bloodshed. An
injunction was filed in the United
States Circuit Court aimed against the
arbitration committee which ordered
the general strike, as we'll as the presi-
dents Of all unions which signed the
call for general strike, and
the suit includes criminal pro-
ceedings against the parties. The ar
rests will be made in the morning, and
large amount of bail will be required
to secure the release of the strikers.
In addition to ali this the governor had
the arbitration committee of the strik-
ers before him this evening and told
them what he intended doing on the
morrow. He said they were RESPONSE
BILE for the crisis, aud the responsibility
for any bloodshed would be upon their
heads. The committee promised to
convene the amalgamated council to-
night and decide the question OF calling
the strike off.
