A Light Vote Expected. with the Loss on

A Light Vote Expected. with the Loss on
the Democratic Side.
Concord, N. H., November AT the
election in this state Tuesday, COVER
nor, five councillors, two congressman,
the full county officers and the legisla-
ture to name the successor to United
States Senator William E. Chandler, will
be voted for. Four tickets are in the field
Republican, Democrat, Peoples and
Prohibition. The indications are there
will be an unusually light vote, and s.the
Democrats will suffer more than the
Republicans by the falling off. The
probabilities are that Busiel, the Repub-
lican candidate for governor, will be
elected by 5000 majority. Sull oway and
Baker, Republicans, will be elected to
Congress by substantial majorities. The
Republicans will carry three of the five
councillor districts, and defeat the
choice in another, and will carry II of
the "a senatorial districts, and have a
majority Of SO to in the House of Rep
resentatives, and they will carry seven
and possibly eight of the ten counties of
the state The com bined Prohibition
and Peoples vote will not exceed 5000,
and these parties will not figure in the
result.

New York November Al he Republi-
cans expect to..carry the state forlMor-
ton by from 35, 600 to $4,000. Betting is
intfavor of Morton at odds of 10 to Z.
The managers of the Democratic state
committee say Hill will win by $1,000
to 30, 900. The A. PA. has been one of
the leading issues presented by the DEM
ocratic speakers. The proposd reappor-
tionment and the tariff also figure prom
inently in the campaign. These factors
and the uncertainty as to how they will
affect the independent voters make the
result uncertain. The Democrats say
they will hold the present number repre-
sentatives in Congress, and regain the
district in New York city carried by
Quigg, Republican, last election. The
Republicans claim they will gain three
in this city, three in Brooklyn, and five
in the state. The Republicans expect
to elect a Repu neutrality-suspicious. and
carry the constitutions! amendments.
The Democrats made desperate fight
against the new apportionment, and
claim they have it beaten. The Commit
tee of Seventy expect to carry this city
for Strong for mayor by 25, 600 to 40,000.
The local Democratic managers agree
that Grants plurality will be IS, 900. 1t
is thought John W. Golf will be elected
recorder over Recorder Smyth.

London, November 4.-The Press cores
pondent in st. Petersburg sends this des-
patch: The Metropolitan Palladius, assisted
by the Orthodox Greek clergy of the capital,
conducted an impressive service today at

for persons of high rank, all the men were
in black against black background of
mourning, which bid the walls, and could.be
seen only as shadows. The women were in
white. Outside the reserved section
thousands were admitted freely, rich and
poor titled and untitled. They stood
crowded together on the moist pavement,
the shabbiest Moujiks Creek: by jowl with
members of the Capitals high society. The
huge chandelier lighted the nave and only
Pickering candles shone from the side
walls. The services were painfully impress
sive and many wept and with every pause
came the sound of sobs from some recess of
the great building. Services were held also
in the American and British churches.
Arrangements are proceeding the Fortress
church for the reception of Alexander's
body. Along the route to be taken by the
funeral train from Odessa to st. Peters burg,
special orders are given to all railroad
omc1als and the journey will occupy ten
days as the train will stop at many towns
for services and will remain two days in
Moscow.

Dow was given an enth usiastic reception
at G Chickering hall this afternoon at a

American Temperance Union. In the
course of somewhat lengthy address,
frequently Interrupted by applause, he
said: aThe liquor traffic has this ma

ern Tammany, and Tammany governs
this city. Tammany would be helpless
without the grogshops. Every city in
the country, every state in the nation
is governed by grogshops. There are
no politicians anywhere except in the
Prohibition party who dare say any
thing against the grogshops. How do
you like it here in New York, the gov

ment Of the grogshop, for the grogshop
and by the grogshop. is there any way
out? Yes; through the church. The
liquor traffic continues by the liberation

go, it will CO."
The speaker compared the position OF
the church with reference to the liquor
traffic with that of Grouchy at Waterloo.
Like Grouchy, the church looked on
from the heights, and would not go to
the aid of its people struggling on the
plain below, hghJing for home against

Great Destruction Wrought by Earth

Frightened People Kneeling in the
streets-Nothing But Prayers To Be
Heard.
Mexico City, November 4-The earthquake
which visited this section Friday evening
was the most severe felt since 1858. The re-
PORTS of damage TO life and property are
slow in being collected, but 1t is known
that thirteen people were killed in this city,
and at least three at outside points. Many
roofs of old buildings fell, and in some in
stances crushed to instant death the occu-
pants of the houses. All the killed were
among the lower classes. The earthquake
was preceded by rumb,;ngs or sub.erranean
noise. There was movement of the ground
from the Forth to south, and this was fol-
lowed in a few seconds by another undu-
lating and stronger vibration from west to
east, and this in turn was succeeded by a
shock from the northwest to the southeast.
Three shocks, coming as they did from
different quarters badly cracked the
strongest buildings. tall chimn eys fell. and
the walls standing north and south suffered
great damage.
from telegraph advices from Central and
Southern Mexico the disturbance is shown
to have covered the state and federal dis
trict of Mexico and lasted one to four
minutes. Several distinct shocks were felt
at Jodula. in the State of Morelos and
smart shocks were felt at Tulancino in the
state of Hildago. At Ojusco, an Indian and
his wife were crushed to death under III
roof of their abode house. Being holiday
and one of the chief festival days of the
year the theatres were. .thronged and panics
ensued. Several people were hurt in the
rush for exit and many women went into
Mysteries. The songs on the stage were
succeeded by:mpassioned:praye for forgive
ness ant confession of errors. The play gener

mained in their seats kneeling in prayer
Traffic was completely abandoned at the
first premonition. Drivers deserted the
street cars and coachmen their hacks to
kneel in prayer. With throngs sending up
supplications in palaces and humble homes
nothing but prayers were to be heard.
