FLEMINGTON, n. j., Feb. 22-The resi-
dents of this section of New Jersey were
greatly startled by what they think was
HI earthquake. There was a roar as though
high wind was approaching. A second
later the houses shook, aud windows rat
tied, while the roar which accompanied
this trembling resembled distant thunder
The motion lasted about 10 seconds Many
think there may have been n cavein at the
old abandoned copper mines just outside
of the town.

SOCIETY SHOCKED.
Commodore Mayo FOsts His Young Wife
Who Was n Waterbury Lady.

Commodore Mayo Fosts His Young Wife
Who Was Waterbury Lady.
Washington society is excited over an
advertisement inserted in the local papers
by Commodore William Kenyon Mayo re
tIredl declaring that his wife, Jennie Elton
Stevens Mayo, has voluntarily deserted his
home, bed and board, and warning all per-
sons not to trust her. He announces that
he will dishonor all bills contracted by
her, and will not. in any wise be respon-
sible for her conduct.
Commodore Mayo's marriage here two
winters ago to Jennie E. Stevens was a
social sensation. He was seventy years
| old and his wife barely twenty five. 1t is
| said that the young woman was violently
opposed to the match. \ splendid recep-
ton was given to introduce the bride.
| Less than month In er Mrs MAYO mys-
teriOusly disappeared and has not since
been seen in Washington. 1t was learned
| that she had been placed in a private SAM
| tarium in Litclfeld. One story was that
she was on the verge of lunacv; another
that she was suffering from nervous pros
| tratiOn.
1t is understood that Mrs Mayo was re-
leased from the Sanitarium about three
months ago and refused to return to the
commodore. 1t is said Mrs Mayo will
commence proceedings for divorce
Said friend of the family yesterday:
Miss Stevens is in very delicate health at
the home of her father and under no cir
cumstances could Commodore Mayo be eN-
cused for putting such a notice i'll the
newspapers. 1t would be very different if
plain man were to do thing of that
| kind; but Commodore Mayo should know
enough of the polite usages of life to avoid
any such publicity"
| The above is the substance of n dispatch
sent ont from Washington last night. To
a DEMOCRAT reporter O. H. Stevens. father
of Mrs Mayo, said to-day:
! 1t is not true that my daughter volun-
tarily left his bed and board She was
married ut my home on December 5. 1892,
and went to live with her husband ut %
Iowa circle, Washington. On the both of
| the same month l went to Washington and
| brought her home ut the request of her
| husband. She was then suffering from ner-
vOus prOStration, which was followed by
| acute melanchOlia. l placed her in the
Buell. institute at Litchtield, where she re-
manned until Octobdr %, when she came
to my home and has remained there since
| She is in perfect health and has never
| been troubled with disease of the brain.
| Her husband wrote to her once since |
brought her home. He has not paid any
of her bills since that time. There is no
| truth in the statement that my daughter
intends to enter a suit for divorce against
her husband

OBITUARY.

DIED: AT the family home near
lola, at o'clock on Monday morning
November II, 1894, Mrs. Martha A,
wife of Col. 5. n. Delap, in the 10th
year of her age.
Martha a. Strickland was born in
Newhaven, Conn.,, August q, 1925.
She came of good family, and a
number of her relatives were highly
connected. In 1881 she removed with
parents to Otto, New York, where she
was married, September q, 1847, to
Col. S. n. Delap, of Eddyville n. Y.
They lived in Eddyville until 1888,
when they came to Kansas, locating
on the farm near lola where they
have since lived.
Mrs. Delap was a well educated
and well bred woman, having an I'M
commonly alert mind and DISPOSE
ton that kept her always hopeful and
CHEEKY, even at periods of the greatest
adversely. She was always active
physically, and had full command of
all her faculties almost to the hour of
her death.
She was seized with an attack of
quinsy about four weeks ago, but it
was only a few days before her death
that it assumed an alarming phase.
The funeral services were held at
the residence yesterday afternoon,
Rev. Jas. Hunter officiating. The re-
mains were inferred temporarily in
the lola cemetery the intention being
to remove them soon to the old home
in New York.
The deceased leaves three children,
Mrs. DIR. left, Mrs. E. A, Brightly,
and John +. Delap,-and her hus-
band, to mourn her loss.

average fusion, (Demo-Pop.), vote in
1892 was 1455 the average Populist
vote in 1894 was 1902, and the average
Democratic vote was $50. 1t thus APP
pears that the Republicans made a
clear gain at this election, of Is votes,
while the Populist vote shows a clear
loss of 433 votes from the fusion vote
OF 1892. The vote cast for the Demo-
cratic ticket accounts for 80 of this
loss, but the remaining ia must te a
clear loss to the populist party. The
average Prohibition vote this year
was Ga, as against SO in 1892
The entire number of defective bal
lots, compared with the total vote was
small, showing that nearly every
body has mastered the simple mys-
teries of the Australian ballot. There
were few ballots in every precinct,
however, that were "away off,"
Somebody told US of one in which a
cross appeared in every square on the
entire ballot The man who marked
that ballot was evidently dete. mined
to "vote Ter straight, the result be.
ing, of course, that his vote was not
counted for anybody. Other ballots
were defective and were thrown out
because the cross was put outside in.
ste ad of inside the square. Here in
lola two ballots were found i'll which
instead of a cross being made in the
square opposite the names, there was
simply line drawn through all the
squares from the top to the bolt ON of
one of the tickets. And the
strange thing about it is that the vote
was counted by The returning board,
although it was clearly defective
under the law. 1t seems curious that
anybody who can read and under
stand the English language should
fail to mark his ballot properly when
the direction is staring him in the
face: ELECTORS will make a cross
mark thus (X) in the square at the
left of the name of the candidate for
whom they wish to vote"

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
COMPARISON AND COMMENT

''Tenting on the Old Camp Ground
is the favorite Republican hymn these
days.
There was just one more vote cast
i'm Allen county in 1892 than there
was this year.
Cut out the table of election returns
printed in this paper to-day and put
it in your scrap book. You will find
it interesting to look at great many
times.
Considering the popularity of the
opposing candidate and the strong
hold he has on the people, r. II. Ben
nett made about the strongest race of
anybody.
Frank Travis has the honor of get
ting the heaviest vote cast for any
candidate in the county. From a
majority of Sc in 1892 to one eff $50 ia
1894 is not at all bad.
Superintendent Jones was mighty
glad when he found that ne
had II more votes than the
other fellow in 1892; but he
sails away this year with 1873
votes more than all the other fellows.
Ex-Congressman Funston was elected road
overseer in his road dis trict in Allen county.
This is not ioke.-LGWrence Journal
No, it is not a joke. 1t is simply a
mistake. Mr. Funston was not can
didate for road overseer, and no votes
were cast for him.
Great pains have been taken with
the table of election returns printed
in this paper, and it is believed that
the figures are absolutely correct. We
give a list of the township officers
elected also, and next week we will
publish the names of the road over
seers chosen in the various districts

loss to the county of one vote.
The vote cast for the two candi-
dates for county attorney falls 1913
short of the total number of votes cast
at the election, while the combined
vote OF the candidatea for Represents
tive falls short 255 of the total vote.
The moral of this is that if a candi-
date wants votes he must get his name
on some ticket.

Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1894-02-12

THE Advertiser need not feel at all
alarmed that the royalist papers
will howl because the annexation
club intends to hold a sham elect
ion and demand that the councils
fill the expected vacancy by its
nominee. 1t is perfectly immater-
ial, to the royalists, who gets into
the Councils or how he gets there.
The brief existence which the P. G
yet enjoys gives the loyal citizens
very little concern and one or two
more arbitrary acts don't count
nor do one or two more shoemakers
tinpotmakers or shopkeepers in
that beautiful assembly.
