A vERY interesting analysis OF the VOC

A VERY interesting analysis of the vote
in the late election, and comparison
with the vote in 1892, has been made
by Mr.. Frederick c Waite, of Wash
ington Citv. statistician who was spe-
ciaI agent in the eleventh census. Mr..
Waite's conclusion Is that the stay at
home vote caused the political revolu-
tions in both years named. This vote
on the 9th inst, he places at the enor-
nous total of 5000, 900. Mr.. Waite
says:

Just the same. Cleveland's vote in 1892
was less than in ISSS in all rural town
ships of the agricultural counties. This
year the Republicans have not cast as
large a per cent. of the full vote as il
| 1889 in a single state. Hence, the only
reasonable conclusion is that in 1892 the
dissatisfied Republican farmers. and thi:
year the discontented Democratic labor
ers, joined the stay-at-hOme voters.
1t is the stay at home party which ha:
made such phenomenal gains. The
immense Republican pIuralities thi:
year are not the result of an extraOrdin
ary Republican vote, but of an exceed
ingly small Democratic vote. WiscOn
sin has not polled for the Democrat
ic candidates such a small percent
age of her full vote for % years. IL
Pennsylvania the Democratic party ha
not cast as small vote for half cen

THE attorney general has received no.
tice from fifty qualified electors of the
Sulllivan>Wyoming judicial district OF
the contest by Judge Sittser, Democrat,
of Tunkhannock, who was defeated for
reelection by twenty nine votes by ID
w. Durham, Republican. The matter
has been referred by the attorney genera
to Governor Pattison, who will issue
commissions to President Judges Searle,
of Susquehanna; Archibald, of Lacka
wanna, and Rice, of Luzerne, to hear
the contest. The act of 1874 requires
the three president judges residing near
est the court house of county where con
test is made to sit.
Sittser alleges that for a number of
election precincts in the district ballots
with a cross in the circle in the Republi
can column and a mark opposite Slit
ser's name in the Democratic column
were counted for his opponent. Sittser
contends that these ballots should
have been counted for him. If his con-
tentiOn is sustained he will likely be
seated, as more than enough ballots
marked in this way were polled to give
him a slight majority over his opponent.

Mr.. CIeveland's Poor Health.

Washington. November 24 PRESS
dent Cleveland's health causes some anx
iety to his friends, not that his condi-
ton is serious. but he suffers severe
pains. His trouble Is rheumatism or
gout of the foot. The two are so simi-
lar, and physicians disagree SO much as
to which, that it is question which he
has.
The President is very careless in his
eating. does not diet himself nor take
exercise necessary to keep a man in good
condition. Yesterday. with its damp
ness, aggravated the pain, which is in
tense, and kept him closely confined to
WOOdley, his summer residence. The
sprain to the foot, caused by stepping on
a pebble about a week ago, increases the
inconvenience and the pain as we'll 1t
has been several days since the Presi-
dent came to the White House, and un
less his trouble yields more quickly to
treatment he may be confined at home
several days longer.
President Cleveland's frequent spells
of ill-health add to the evidence that he
does not take care of himself, and that
his physical condition is not satisfactory

JOHN HUBER. of Mechanicsburg, was
recently convicted of selling liquor ON
Sunday and selling without license.
His counsel questioned the constitu-
tiOnality of the Brooks High License
law, and held that, inasmuch as the title
does not correspond to the body of the
act, it is unconstitutional. They asked
for new trial on that ground alone
In deciding the matter to-day Judge Sad
Ter said he had no doubt that, as far as
selling on Sunday is concerned, the
Brooks law is unconstitutional, and for
that reason he would not sentence HUI
ber on that count; but as the verdict on
the second count, selling without license,
was not contested, he would overrule the
motion for a new trial and sentence him
on that count. Huber was sentenced to
$500 fine and three months in jail

THE ceremony of laying the corner
stone of the Western Pennsylvania In

many prominent persons of the state.
After an inspection of the grounds by
Governor Pattison and the Commission,
the brief ceremony of laying the stone
began. 1t was swung from a derrick
above its companion stone, in which was
cut the niche for the traditional box OF
old coins and records. On its front was
simply carved the state coat of arms.

II is reported at Washington that Sec
retary Carlisle will devote at least par
agraph of his annual message to the
income tax by calling the attention of
the lawmakers and the public to the
fact that congress at its last session failed
to make an appropriation to carry out
that portion of the Gormon tariff bill
1t is not thought that the secretary will
recommend that an appropriation be
made at the coming session, but that he
will content himself with laying the
facts before the members of congress for
such action as they may desire to take.
Although it cannot be stated with posi-
tlveneSs that the income tax could not
be collected, if no money should be ap-
propriated for the work, yet no official
of the treasury department is willing to
express the opinion that the internal
revenue bureau could assume the great
task of doing the work which, iu Secre-
tafy Carlisle's letter to congress last
session, he said would necessitate the
appointment of at least $50 deputy
collectors and an expense of 500, 900.

The twenty-five or more members of
congress who have coolly requested the
the sergeant alarms of the house to
please forward their mileage, as they do
not care to go to Washington-many of
them having failed of re- -election-have
been stunned by the receipt of the in
formation that no mileage car be paid
except to members who actually attend
the sessions of congress. The effect of
such notification may be to lessen some
what the abuse of absenteeism at the ap-
preaching session; although so far as the
interests of honest legislation are con>
cerned the mileage grabbers might just
as well stay at home.

Agreed TO Disagree.

Johnstown, Pa, Nov. 2S.-It was
announced to-day that Charles Barnes
and his wife, who was formerly Mrs.
Ann Fem, had agreed 10 disagree.
They were married a few days ago bv
Bishop Whitehead, of Pittsburg. Mr..
Barnes is worth SO, 600 and his wife.
whose first husband and nine children
were drowned in the flood Of 1889. owns
property valued at from $40, 900 to $50
600. 1t appears that Mr.. Barnes has al
ready engaged lawyers who will show
for him in court that he gave deed
conveying all his property, real and
personal, to his wife, who immediately
had it filed in the county courts. This
action aroused Mr.. Barnes's suspicion
and he and Mrs. Barnes have not been
on good terms since. Several times she
has locked the door on him and prevent
ed him from getting into his apartments
He will now plead for a cancellation of
the deed on the ground that he was
hypnOtized 10y her when he made it out.
MIR. Barnes is 20 years of age and his
wife 40.

THE EXECUTION.

THE CONDEMNED MAN S LAST NIGHT.
Last night Spiller, besides MI. John A.
Noon, the official death watch. who went on
duty at 10 o'clock, had the company all
night of Rev. T. K. Clifford, colored U.
b. minister of Harrlsonburg, and Rev. w.
H. Bruce of the same town, his assistant
Both of these ministers are from Grant
county, W. Va, Spiller's native county,
and were old friends of his. just after he
was sentenced he made Rev. Clifford, who
had been sent for at his request, promise
to stay with him all night on the last night
he had on earth. In conversation yester-
day evening with Rev. Clifford, he said
that Spiller had never shown the least
weakening Of nerve since he had been visit
ing him, and that his self possession was
astonishing. Spiller told him that he had
no desire to live, and that if the Governor
should send him communication of the
sentence to eighteen years in the peniten-
tiary he should ask to be hung instead.
He said what troubled him most was that
he had sent Lottie Rowe into eternity with
out time for repentance, while he himself
had had time for preparation. She had to
suffer and, said he, 81 ought to suffer-" On
Wednesday last Rev. Clifford wrote a let

and Lottie Rowe and Ida Huntley and
three OF four men. Lottie was sitting on
the lap of a man named Bradford. There
was good deal of drinking going on.
Spiller made two OIL three remarks showing
that he was jealous of the presence OF the
young white men who were there. He play
ed cards with John and Joseph Rowe and
John Rowes daughter.
Spiller left the house about - O'Clock
and got the club which he had secTeted near
there. In about fifteen minutes Lottie
Rowe left for her home escorted by Charles
Bradford. 1.-THE map we publish with this
account will give the reader an accurate
idea of the route taken by the parties.J AS
the two reached the overhead bridge over
the G. & .. Ry., Spiller came up behind
them and struck Bradford with the club.
At the second blow Bradford fell over the
bridge into the railroad cut. Spiller then
caught up the girl and carried her few
yards from the bridge along the New Hope
road to an opening in the first wire fence
entering Flynn S lot. There his hat blew
off in the road. He took the girl through
the opening in the fence and set his club
down near the opening. From there he took
the girl to the middle of the field where it
is believed he assaulted her, as hair pin
and fragments Of her clothing were found
there, but his confession denies this. He
took her then to the railroad and there
murdered her with rock.
In the mean time Bradford had raised the
alarm at John Rowe's, and party had
started out to hunt the girl. The party
went to Joseph Rowe's and asked if Lottie
had come home. Her mother replied
that she had not, but they must tell her to
come home from John Rowe's as it was
late. They went back to John Rowe's
