ATLANTA. GA, Oct. 4.-The Constltu-

All OF the l27 counties In Georgia from un-

official Democratic majority will not vary
much from D.0oo and this is ihe figure
which Is now accepted by conservative
estimates on the Democratic side
The Populists, on the other hand claim
the country counties, the cancellations
from which will be the last to be heard
from, will reduce this majority to at
least 1000. OF the l75 members of the
House elected. about sixty are Populsts.
and of the forty-four members OF the
Senate, there are seven Popuiists and one
Republican.

largest, the area being about fourth OF
an acre of the highest prairie in that
vicinity. This sinking occurred In the
centre of a wheat field and within 100
feet Of where a threshing outfit was at
work. This cavern left perpendicular

NEW PHASK IN FLORIDA ELECTION
The Result In One County InvaIidatsd on
Account of the Action of Officers.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. oct. 4.---There
has developed new phase to the election
matter in this county. The Circuit Court
to-day granted a Temporary injunction
restraining the county canvassing board
from canvassing the returns of Tuesdays
election, on account of the alleged illegal
acts of the inspectors. That bill on which
the injunction was obtained is on the
theory that the election in the county Is
invalid.
The bill claims that the acts OF the
inspectors in refusing to open the polls
in four OF the city wards. because OF the
presence of deputy sheriffs stationed there
TO watch the vote, inValidates the cleo
tion. The inspectors were all appointed
from one faction.
The inspectors claimed that the depu-
ties were there in violation of the law,
and, upon the refusal of the deputies to
withdraw, closed the polls, thus disfran-
chising about 1900 voters The bill al
leges that If these men had been allowed
to vote the Fletcher faction would have
elected its ticket
The case will likely so to the Supreme
Court.
