LIGHTNING's DEADLY WORK.

A report reached the city this a.
M, of a fearful occurrence at Bas-
setts, Tex, OF line of Cotton Belt
railway, twenty eight miles west
from this city, where, on yesterday,
seven men are reported to have
lost their lives during a thunder
storm, by lightning's deadly
freak.
The details of the tragic affair
are given, in brief, as follows; While
engaged in a base ball game the
rival teams were driven from the
field by thunder shower, which in
duced them to take shelter under
the spreading branches of large
live oak tree, standing near. While
the unfortunate men were crowd
ed underit branches, the tree was
struck by lightning, killing seven
of the hapless occupants of its shell
ter, and shocking several others,
more or less severely,
The news, as we give it, was
brought to the city by passengers
on the early morning train, over
the Cotton Belt, which passed the
scene of the catastrophe only a
short time previous No names,
of dead or injured, were given. We
can only hope that the story of this
terrible accident may have been
enlarged by the telling, and that
the horrible details of death, are,
as is often the case, insuch incidents
greatly exaggerated,
LATER-The above deplorable
news has been confirmed by subse-
quent reports, giving the following
list of persons killed:
John Jacobs, Walter Atchley,
Tom Blanchard, Will Heath, John
jackson, Chris Petty, Will Welsh.
About a dozen others were badly
hurt, and it is thought some of
them will die.

as, the famous meteorologist and
scientist of Guadalejarar. Senor
Contreas predicts that between to-
morrow and Sunday the region
around the volcano Popocatopetl,
southwest of this city will receive
an earthquake visitation, a disturb
ance also occurring between Au-
gust Is and IS. Should the shocks
miss this section they will be felt in
the state of Oxaca to the south.
Senor Conteras, during the past
two years, has made many predic-
tions of earthquakes in Mexico,
nearly all of which have been veri-
fed by fact. He is a follower of
Falb, the great European prophet,
and bases his calculations upon the
conjunction of the sun, moon, stars
and subterranean forces as the
cause of the disturbances.

Investigation Invited.

OF course it is proper to inquire
about what any man says, is it
true2
The most rigid investigation is
invited into the testimonials pub
lished in behalf of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, Special attention is called to
the high character of persons whose
testimonials are published by the
proprietors of this medicine, as evil
denced by their occupations or en-
dosements. In fact, no matter
where a testimonial in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla may be from,
it is reliable and as worthy of con-
fdence as If it came from your most
trusted neighbor.

Of grain, which the Coreans scarce

the country, so that any supplies
sent to the people might finally fall
into the hands of the foreign sol

UNPRECEDENTED MAJ0RITIES

Tuesdays election appears to have
been the greatest OF all the landslides
in American politics. Republicans
have won hands down, exceeding even
the claims of the party politicians in
most instances.
The Populists have lost Colorado,
Kansas and North Dakota. David B.
Hill was beaten in New York. Nor
ton, his Republican opponent, carried
the state by from loo. 600 to $50. 900 plu-
rality. Grant, the Tammany candi-
date for Mayor of New York, was
beaten by 4l,434 votes. Kings county,
in which is located the city of Brook
Ign, gave Morton a majority of about
$1,000. In 1892 Cleveland carried 1T by
about 5000. Indications are that the
Democratic majority in New York city
is completely wiped out, and that Nor
ton carries even that Democratic strong
hold.
In Minnesota Nelson is elected by
from 1900 to 2O,0OO and his plurality
may even exceed the latter figure. The
seven Minnesota congressman viii all
be Republicans,
in Ohio and Pennsylvania all former
records We're broken, the former state
coming to the frory with over l0O,OOo
plurality for the Republican ticket. In
PENNSYLVANIA the high water mark of
Republicanlsm was also reached. and
it Is thought that 200, 600 is "a conserv l.
tive estimate of the Republican plural
ity.
Indiana has gone Republican by
probably $4,000.
Illinois is Republican by 10000. The
legislature is also Republican, and they
will also elect 10 congressman.
In Wisconsin Major Upham easily
defeated Peck, Dem, by about $4,000.
1t is very likely that even William L.
Wilson was caught III the crush. Day
ton, his Republican opponent, claims
Wilson'S defeat by at least 1000 votes.
Democrats, however, do not concede
this.
Returns from Kansas show that state
is back in the Republican column, elect
ing the entire Republican ticket, as
well rs legislature and two congress
men.
The people in Colorado turned ont IN
.forea and hurled Waite under a major
ity ranging from $1,000 to 20.o0a.
IN North Dakota, Allin, Rep, Is I'M
doubtedly elected governor by a safe
plurality, and Johnson, Rep- Is surely
elected congressman.
The South Dakota Republican state
ticket is also elected, and Gamble and
Picker, Reps, win the congressional
fight.
Republicans claim Iowa by $4,000
and the election of 10 congressman.
In the Montana capitol fight Helena
defeated Anaconda by a comfortable
plurality.
All the New England States show
increased Republican ~pluralities and a
Republican governor has beck elected
i'll Connectlcut-
Two Republican congressman are
elected in Maryland.
Michigan gave a Republican victory,
being estimated as high as 6 1000, ard
every one of ITS next congressional dele
gates viii be Republican.
In the Seventh Kentucky district,
Breckinridge's district, it looks as
though Owens, the Democratic candi-
date had been beaten by Denny, Rep.
In New Jersey Republicans gain at
least two congressman.

The Legislature, Too.

The percentage of loss as compared
with the vote for the head of the ticket
is not nearly 50 large as it wa supposed
TO be and the result, therefore, is that
the legislature will consist of 90 sena-
tors and $50 assemblynen, that pool
selling ON races will be prohibited and
that a new Judiciary system viii be in
augurated. The sweep also means that
for the first time in many years the Re.
publicans will have control of the legis-
lature and at the same time have a
governor in the chair in political har-
mony with them.

paign for the Democrats in the state
that for deprecated majorities below
the Harlem for the party, there would
be an offset by increased majorities
above the rivers bank for the Democ-
racy. The most sanguine expected
that the Democratic party, with Sena-
tor Hill at its head, would show recu-
peration from the vote given Tor May
nard in 1898. In place of all antioi-
pated results comes a sweep of such
proportions and from every quarter
Beyond the Highest Claims
made by the Republicans. From plu-
ralities ranging from 5 1000 to 10000
in the district below the Harlem for
the Democratic party, the Republican
party turns the city vote into 10000
plurality for its state candidates. In
all the Democratic estimates given On
the eve of election it was contended
that the Democratic plurality below
the Harlem would be ut least 35, 000.
The surprises are not confined to this
change of vote. but al analysis shows
that Senator Hill viii run behind even
the vote of Maynard, while in the state
he fell below the vote cast for Governor
Flower in 1891.

Phil Armour in His Office.
McClure's Magazine for February.

McClure's Magazine for February.
The first time saw Armour was in
his Office, a bustling nest of desks and
scribbling men and ticking instruments,
working hive where they never see a
drone, except lie comes to beg, as one
fellow did while l was standing there.
Armour is the most accessible man in
the United States, or, at all events, he
was so until recently. 1t it only within
two years that he has had a private
office. Until that time his desk stood
with the others in the big room, and it
was surrounded by the desks of the
heads Of the departments. 1t was the
easiest thing IN the world to get to him.
But now corner of the room has been
cut off by plain partition, making an
unpretentious nook, in which the direc
tor of great enterprises spends the great
er portion of his working hours with his
touch upon the pulse of the commercial
world. The chief office of Armour &
Company is in the Home Insurance build
ing in LaSalle street. 1t is a big apart
ment sprink'ed with desks, and every
body seems to be prodigiously busy with
the exception of one man. That man is
Armour, and that fact is characteristic
of him. He luxuriates in work, but he
makes no parade it. He works as a great
general does, a Wellington, a Bonaparte.
He impresses me as having Napoleonic
characteristics. He would be the coolest
man in Chicago, and has been so in times
of panic. Pe is most himself and most
absolutely his own master, and the mas
ter of affairs when he faces a crisis. His
ease of manner is one of the most re-
markable attributes of the man. You
see him wa king slowly, quietly, and APP
parently without object through this big
establishment; but nothing passes there
that escapes the keenness of his vision,
and there is not a page IN all 5he volumes
of character that are collected in the
lives of all these men and youths who
daily surround him that he has not close
lv scanned.
