we hardly dared to expect, Judge May
n,rd was defeated at the election in

BARCELONA, Nov. ga deed was
committed last night that for fiendish-
ness has ~ ldom beeen equalied. The
Lyceum Opera House, much frequented
by Barcelona society, was the scene of
the outrage. During the second act ofthe
opera, two bombs, loaded with dyna-
mite, were thrown from the gallery.
AS the bombs struck the floor one of
them exploded with terrific report.
Every person in the house sprang to
his feel in terror. Shrieks and cries OF
agony rose, and confusion prevailed.
Men abandoned the ladies they hal
escorted, and made desperate rushes
for the exits, knocking down and
trampling upon those in their way.
When the smoke and dust caused by
the explosion cleared away, the forms
of many persons were seen writing
upon the floor. The seats thereabouts
had been blown to pieces and the floor
ing in places was torn up and the
beams partly shattered. Fifteen per-
sons lost their lives. The number of
injured will b., large, for it is certain
many were hurt by being trampled
upon by the panic stricken crowd.
Immediately the bomb exploded the
officials surrounded that part Of the
gallery from which the bombs had
been thrown and several suspicious
looking characters we're placed under
arrest.

THOSE BEST acquainted with General
Malone have always said he is an etfi-
Gent man to carry out wise instruc'
tions, but when left to his own guidance
he invariably goes off on tangent and
lands himself and all who follow him
in ditch. The truth of what they
say has been demonstrated several
times, III political as we'll as other mat
tiers, and is not impeached by the re-
suit of yesterday s election in this State,
as many people believe that thorough
organization OF, and an active campaign
by, his party, would have succeeded, in
consequence Of the ali prevailing apa'
thy among the democrats. But he,

astute enough to discern and seize the

WRONG AS General Rosser may be IN
re .pect of financial affairs, for it Is
plain to be seen, in these days of inter
national business matters, that there
c IN be only one standard Of value, ard
that money can not be made by the
mere stamp of the government, that ne
is right on the race question, no body
doubts who is familiar with negro char
acter. He says:
THE two races can never blend by mutual
absorption, miscegenation is an utter impossi-
bility, and the line Of demarkation between
the white and black races is cutting deeper
aud wider every day, so that the chasm be-
tween them will soon be great gulf which
none can cross. Now and then the bottom
stratum of the white race will mingle with
ths upper stratum of the black race, but this
is less frequent every year, and while the
smalganated offspring is seldom reared, If he
or she grows up to manhood or womanhood 1t
is only for life of shame or crime, and the
seed are destroyed in the second or third gen
Grafton, leaving no posterity.'

As ANTICIPATED, the democratic
vote in this State yesterday was e1-
ceedingly small, but that of their OPP
ponents was even smaller, so that their
ticket was elected by large majority,
possibly as large as that of last year.
The success of the State ticket was
never doubted by we'll informed poll
ticians. and nobody ever supposed they
would lose the Legislature. Their
greatly reduced vote, however, should
make them thank their stars that they
had little or no organized opposition,
and should teach them to nominate,
hereafter, candidates who will inspire
the party with some enthusiasm.

KNOCKED OUT WITH A LEMON
The idea of sandbagging a man with
half lemon has the merit of novelty,
and Fred Setback, of Chicago, cigar
maker, can testify to its efficacy.
Setback he'd been sitting in a game of
cards early last night and had been
lucky. When he came away he had
$40. As he neared the corner of Thir-
teenth street two men leaped from a
hallway. One caught him by the
shoulder, while the other placed a cut
lemon under his nose and gave it Wig
orous squeeze. The sharp juice flew
into Schlack's nostriis and eyes and so
startled and discounted him that he
did not know he had been robbed of
anything but his voice until the lemon
squeezers were gone. Then he roar
ed, an officer heard, came, and directed
by the victim. ran up a stairway, where
he captured John Burns. John was
the man who squeezed the lemon.
The other fellow escaped.

THE ELECTIONS in the northern States
Yesterday resulted disastrously to the
democrats. That neither the tariff nor
silver had any thing to do with it, is
proved by the fact that though the de-
clared policy of the party on both those
questions was as we'll known year
ago as it is now, the democratic vote in
the States referred to was then eXcep-
tionally large. Possibly the admins
tration's avowed love of the civil SER
vice reform humbug and its leaning
toward mugwumpism may have dis
.usted large number of those who
voted the party's ticket last year.

A party of cattlemen in the ex-
IRENE West recently came across the
trail of two men and two burros. The
aimless, zigzag course of the trail
showed that those who had made it
were lost, and the cattemen at once
set out to find them. Here and there
along the path taken by the wanderers
holes of from three to five feet in depth
had been dug in the dry sands. Late
in the evening the cattlemen came upon
a young man lying under mesquite
bush, beside a hole dug six feet deep
in the sand, murmuring in delirium
and at the point of death. He had
been without water more than three
days and had lain down to die. A mile
further On they overlook an old man,
who, delrious, was crawling on hands
and knees toward pool of brackish
water, beside which stood the two
burros. The burros, being released
when he gave up, had found their
way to water, and the old man had fol-
lowed them in last despairing burst
of strength. The two men were
miners, who had lost their way q week
before. Both men recovered after o
few days of care at the ranch, but
mummified corpses and bleached bones
often met with in the desert tell of
many travellers whose similar expert
ences have had no such happy ending.

The Elections.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. st will be
some days before complete returns are
in from the inaccessible counties, but
nothing that can happen there Will
change the results sent last night.
The populists do not seem to
have carried more than four or
five out of the hundred counties
in the State and they will hardly have
respectable minority vote in the Gen
eral Assembly. They will probably
show up better in some of the distant
populist strongholds. There was con-
siderable apathy ON the democratic
side, light vote, and O'Ferrall ran
behind his ticket. Secretary Harris,
Of the populist party, is claiming TWEEN
ty populist members and two Senator'S
but can only, as yet, name ten mem
bers. Asked 20 explain the defeat, he
said that the democrats had polled
more votes and done more cheating
than the pop,llists, and that the repub-
licans did not rally to their support, as
they promised to do.
50 counties and II cities give a
democratic majority of fl, 6S5. lndi-
cations are that the democratic ma
iority will reach $4,000. The following
are believed to be the only counties i'll
the State that have gone for the popu-
lists: New Kent, Campbell, Caroline,
Prince George. Greensville, Powhatan,
Prince Edward, Sussex, Tazewell and
Floyd.

dates for the bench except Kraft, the

Topeka, Kans., Nov. S.-Returrs
show steadily increasing republican
gains and populist losses. Counties
which gave the largest populist majori-
ties last year were carried by the re-
publieans yesterday. The democratic
