The Election.

The election retaEas of Tuesday
are anything but satisfactory to a
Democrat. The Democrats have been
badly defeated, and Republican gains
and large majorities were the order
of the day. Nearly everything North
went Republican. Hill has been badly
defeated for Governor of New York.
Wilson, the "noblest Roman of them
all, has been defeated for Congress
in West Virginia, and that State has
elected a Republican Legislature,
which ensures Steve Elkins' election
as United States Senator. Missouri
has even gone Republican, and both
sides claim Tennessee.
Chairman Faulkner's Congression-
al estimate gives Republicans 200,
Democrats 142, Populists 6 and s
doubtful. The Democrats have lost
both Houses of Congress.

Editor Banner: About 10 o'clock
last evening (Friday) this community
was visited by a miniature cyclone
coming from northesterly direction.
1t seems to have spent its fury at
Mr.. VIM. Doles, Sr. His dwelling
was entirely unroofed and partly
blown down. Happily the part of the
house in which the family was sleep
ing received but little damage be-
sides being unroofed.
Truly the ways of God are mys-
terious. What was once nice and
comfortable home now lies wreck
farniture demolished; pictures, vases
and dishes broken into fragments, lie
scattered here and there, or else
thrown into piles of rubbish; books,
clothes, bedclothes, bedding, &C.,
saturated with water, some drabbled,
and some torn into shreds.
Mrs. Sells trunk was blown into
the yard and the contents cast to the
stfour Winds" some of which has not
as yet been found.
The winds seem to have toyed with
the shrubbery and trees, and they
now lie scattered promiscously
around.
The outhouses were all unroofed
and the greater number razed to the
ground. Fencing around yard, gar
den and adjoining fields, too, told a
tale of destruction.
The neighbors have kindly gather
ed in to remove the rubbish, and
cover the part of the house standing.
They will endeavor to make the FAM
lily as comfortable as circumstances
will permit.
The shock at first seemed too great
for one of Mr.. Doles' age and health,
but he has since rallied, and is now
as cheerful as one could reasonably
expect. K.

Suicide of a wilIses-Barre Man.

\ tragic suicide occurred at Wilkes
Barre on Friday evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Kidney, a middle-aged couple,
parted two months ago, after some
trouble and Kidney has since been try
ing to effect reconciliation, but failing,
began drinking heavily and had not
been sober for several days. On Friday
some of his relatives told him that if he
would consent his wife would raise the
money to have him sent to an inebriate
establishment and after he had been cur.
ed would live with him again. He be-
came very indignant and said if she
could not trust him now she never would
have another opportunity. That even
ing he dressed himself up and went to
call upon her, but she refused to see
him.
Going out to the street in front of the
house he called to his wife, who stood at
Il window, and pulled a r, volyer from
his pocket and shot himself over the
heart. His wife rushed down the stairs
and as she appeared at the door he real
lied that his wound was not fatal and
with laugh again raised the pistol and
fired bullet into his right temple.
Death did not Immediately ensue, and
being still conscious he gathered himself
for final effort and with all his remain
ing strength struck himself on the fore
head with the butt of the pistol and fell
to the ground fatally wounded.

forgot their danger, in the excitement
of the moment. The horse ran on
toward them, and blinded by fear, dash
ed full force into the gates, knocking
them inward.
Phoenix and Young were both struck
by the flying pieces of wood and hurled
beneath the freight, and before they
realized where they were the wheels
were upon them and they were horribly
crushed and mangled before the eyes of
thirty or forty bystanders.
Both of Young's legs were taken off
above the knee and one of his arms
was crushed while Phoenix lost his
right arm near the shoulder and his left
leg at the knee. When taken out they
were both alive and were taken to the
hospital, where they died shortly after

Acquitted of MansIaughter.

The charge of involuntary manslaugh-
ter against Charles Rosencrance, in
which Mrs. Thomas Ruane, of Pittston,
was prosecutrix, came up in court last
week. Mrs. Ruane's husband and a
companion, Thomas Daily, were fatally
injured by the discharge of blast in a
shaft, which they were sinking for the
Florence Coal Company, of Pittston, on
December %, 1853 Ruane died of his
injuries in the hospital the following
day.
1t was charged that Rosenerance care
lessly touched the button of the battery
which discharged the blast while the
men were still at the bottom of the shaft
and without warning to them. The case
was one of unusual importance and was
watched with much interest. The jury
rendered a verdict of not guilty, but
placed the costs upon Rosencrance.

About 3 O'Clock on Saturday morning a
young man was found lying on the porch
of Mrs. Mathers' millinery store on Cen
tire street, and some parties returning
from ball struck few matches while
trying to identify him. The light was
noticed by two other young men, who
Immediately concluded that burglars
were about, and after much scheming
they captured the man on the porch.
An officer was procured and the alleged
burglar, who was sleeping off a drunk,
was conveyed to the lookup.
The door of the store was found un-
locked, and although the proprietress
is positive she fastened everything Sc
curely the evening previous, there was
nothing about to indicate that the locks
and bolts had been tampered with.
Nothing inside the store was disturbed.
On Saturday morning the prisoner was
given a hearing before Burgess Nc
Laughlin, but as there was no evidence
against him he was promptly discharged,
He gave the name of Frank T. Mead, of
Locust Gap, Pa, and left town as soon
as he was released.
