States Government bonds found by
Hugh J.. Grant, receiver Of the st.
Nicholas Bank, among the assets Of
the bank caused considerable talk on
Wall Street, and every one was won
dering how the bank ever got them,
u Is believed that they belong to the
., O00,O 900 s per cent. bonds, and that
their numbers were originally 9,276
and A,295. They we're issued to the
Manhattan Savings institution, and it
is thought they were stolen from that
institution In 1878, when the bank was
robbed. MI. Gardiner, the cashier
Of the st. Nicholas Bank, said that the
bonds had been in the bank for fifteen
years or more and that none Of the
living officers OF the defunct institu.
tion knew anything about them. There
have been so many developments OF
strange transactions in the affairs of
the St Nicholas Bank that there may
be more Of q story to these bonds than

States Weather Bureau al Huron,
gives the following concerning crop
conditions in South Dakota up 70 May
q, as indicated by reports submitted
from thirty-seyen counties:
The early part Of the week was very
warm, followed by decidedly cooler
weather, resulting in severe frost over
much OF the eastern portion OF the.
state, on the morning OF Saturday, the
10th Inst. The showers that occurred
during the week were mostly scattered
and light, although portions OF q few
counties received copious rains. Light
showers were quite general on the l1th,
relieving crops very much where al
feoted BY the dry, warm wind OF the
preceding week.
The frost Of the 18th was quite gem
eral over the eastern portion OF the
state, aud In many localities damaged
field crops, gardens and fruit. While
In some localities corn, potatoes. flax
and barley were cut down nearly to
the ground. 1t Is thought that all
field crops will soon recover, and the
injury only amounts to a temporary
set back. Considerable garden pro-
duce was killed. Over the northern
portion OF the state corn was not suftl.
GENTLY advanced to suffer much. 1t
appears from reports that the frost
was most severe Over the east central
counties. but its effect vas not uni.
form, some localities escaping with
slight injury. Over most of the sec
ton affected by frost, the Russian
thistle, being very tender, was killed
to the ground. A eve hailstorm Is
reported from a portion OF Edmunds
County. resulting in some injury to
crops. Hail is also reported from
lankton County, damaging gardens to
some extent.
Reports indicate that the week was
favorable to crops in the western por-
ton of the state. The comparatively
cool weather prevailing since the 18th
inst. was favorable for wheat stool.
ing" Generally, more rain is needed,
and warm weather would be beneficial.

KILOGRAMS TO TEE STAR
INDIANA BY $4,000.
The Republican Committee Say II
May Reach 10000.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November THE
partial returns from Indiana indicate that
the state is republican by at least $4,000.
The republican state committee Gays 1t will
not be surprised IL the plurality reaches
10000.
1t is the most sweeping victory ever won
by any political party in Indiana. The first
returns received last night showed strong
republican gains, They came from the
labor centers, and the democrats at head
quarters expressed the hope that the tide
would turn when the county returns began
coming in.
Late last night returns began to arrive
from all parts of the state and from every
where came the story of republican gains.
The returns thus far received show an aver
age republican gain OF about forty votes to
the precinct 1t is doubtful, however,
whether this ratio will hold up to the end,
for it Is expected that 1t viii be cut down
by the returns from the agricultural dis
tricts, but If it should be cut to twenty to
the precinct the republican majority will be
over 5000.
Returns from the congressional districts
have been slow in coming in, but the scat
tering figures received, taken in connection
with the great republican gains in every
part of the state Indicate that the republi-
cans elected eleven and possibly all thirteen
members of Congress.
The democrats still have hopes that S. NJ
Stcckslager, in the third, and w. s. Holman,
In the fourth district, have been elected.
The legislature is republican In both
branches. There will be, in the house 65
republicans and 80 democrats; in the SEN
ate, about so republicans and 20 democrats.

BUDD PROBABLY ELECTED.
Indications That Democrats Carried

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. November T.
While nothing but incomplete returns have
been received Of yesterdays election in Cali
fornia there is every indication that James
ii. Budd, democratic candidate for gov
eInor, has been elected. These returns have
been received from 5S3 precincts In a total
OF 2,21l precincts, and they give Budd y, 600
votes against 22,0O0 for Estee, republican,
and 5000 for Webster. populist.
These figures include partial returns from
all but three precincts in San Francisco, in
which Budd las plurality of at least
5000 votes. Little or no returns have been
received from the strong republican coun-
the republican pluralities there will over
come the democratic plurality in this city.
From the incomplete returns that have
been received the republicans have certain
ly elected congressman in five of the seven
districts. namely: Second, Johnson; third
Hilborn; fifth, Loud; sixth, McLachlan, and
seventh. Bowers. The first district Is I'm
doubt with Barham, republican, leading
Geary, democrat, by few votes. Mcguire
democrat, is elected in the fourth district
without doubt. If all the other districts
have elected republicans II will be a repub-
lican gain of four Congressman.
The returns on the legislature are gen.
orally too inc omplete to warrant any state
nent as to the result.
AT O'Clock this morning partial returns
had been received from go precincts In
California, including 290 precincts In San
In the state at large. These show a total
vote Of lO2,O4S and the result for governor
Is as follows: Estee. 24,5s9; Budd, $1,000;

THE TWO FRESH CASES,
Smallpox Tapering on Into MiIder
Form.

Two patients were sent to the smallpox
hospital yesterday to I'LL the vacancies
caused by the death OF Mundel and brown,
and In the removal of these patients two
sad sights were witness ed The boy Her
bert Berger. VINO lived with his parents IN
lie Droit Park, and who has a case of var
ioloid. as published in yesterdays Star. vas
one Of them. 1t was thought yesterday
that his parents would keep him at home
and not send him to the contagious disease
hospital, but last night the fourteen-year-
old patient was taken out I'm the cold and
criven to the hospital, where he will re-
coive good treatment ut the hands of DIR.
hewitt The other patient is Laura Davis,
the young lady an account Of whose case
WAS printed In last nights extra edition OF
The Star. She is nineteen years DID, and
ed at the house of Mr.. Butts, No. 212 =
street northwest, where she was caring Ter
sick sister.
Her case was diagnosed as one Of vario-
loid, and being in a boarding house, there
was nothing to do but take he, to the small
pox hospital. Her father, William I'll. Davis.
returned home from Virginia, where he had
gone to vote, soon after the removal of his
daughter, and was surprised to find the yell
low flag hanging In front OF the house.
When he attempted to enter the house, OBJ
lection was made by policeman, and Mr..
Davis became a little noisy, so ii is charged,
and would have been locked up had not the
policeman been afraid Of the smallpox.
f1edllH OutCeT w OOuNaTu was consulted ana
the man finally wont to the home of his
brother in South w hington.
There was another suspicious case re-
ported on ID street northwest between II
and streets, the patient being a colored
servant, friend Of Mary Thomas, one of the
patients now in the hospital The police
guarded the house all day yesterday to
prevent the possible escape Of the girl and
the doctors are watching the case closely
In order to remove her in case II turns out
that her disease is smallpox.
Cornelius Parker, the colored man who
was transferred from the pound service to
the quarantine station, end who was sent
to one Of the isolated wards in the small
pox hospital, has not got the smallpox.
He had a fever, but there was no eruption.
and 1t is likely that he will leave the hos
pital tomorrow and return to his work.
There were no suspicious cases reported
this morning
The patients in the hospital are doing
well, SO DR.. hewitt reported to the health
Office this afternoon. No new case had
been reported today up to o'clock.
