THE SOUTH.
Vfrginia.,

At IL o'clock last night the returns
showed that the democrats had the state,
and would secure all Of the ten Congress
men. The vote was smaller than for some
years past.
Richmond, with two precincts yet to hear
fl om, stands: Elicit, democrat 5.91S; South
ward, republican, 1.sO9; Gregory, populist.
Independent, OF. Elicit over Southwark,
republican, 4,1O9.
The reports from all over the state in
dictate that the new Walton ballot law
which was tried in this state for the first
time, gave general satisfaction. This re-
port comes from the southwest, the valley,
and even from the two great black-belt
districts the second and fourth. The most
popular feature about it is the secrecy and
impossibility of annoyance OF voters by
ward politicians and workers. The returns
showed that a large number of votes were
thrown out because the illiterate voters
prepared them improperly. In some pre-
cincts, even in the southwest, these dis
carded votes probably reach per cent
Of the whole poll.
At midnight the indications were that the
ten democrats were elected to Congress by
the following maJorities:
First district, w. A. Instrumentation
Second, Gardiner Tyler. 600
Third, Tazewell Elicit. 5000
Fourth, w. r. McKenney.. 900
Fifth, Claude A. Swanson. 500
Sixth. Peter ]. otey. 1000
SSNeUII, ~, OD
Eighth, e. z. Meredith. 800
Ninth, w. s. K. Morrison. 900
North Carolina.
Late returns indicate that the democrats
have without doubt elected their state and
judicial ticket, and will have a small ma
jority in the state legislature. Two con-
gressional districts, one democrat and one
republican, are in doubt. The other seven
districts are certain for the democrats by
good majorities.
Maryland.
The republicans gained three Congress
men in the state Of Maryland, according to
this mornings Baltimore Sun. The returns
from the first district are not full enough
for them to count with certainty of success
on the eastern Shore though they are MAX
ing claims. The republicans elected are
William B. Baker In the second district,
Charles E. Coffin In the fifth and George L.
Wellington in the sixth.
Tennessee.
The Tennessee congressional delegation is
unchanged. Turney, democrat, for gov
ernor. has about 300 majority over Evans

Extra editions Of The Evening Star issued

Little David Nails Death,

The death of no child in Abilene
could have caused more sincere sor-
row among his friends than did the
demise Of little "Davy" Naill-as we
called him, lie was n spritely boy,
wise beyond his age, with an inquir-
ing mind, seeing what most boys Of
his age would not observe, yet manly
in his department.
10 know him was to admire and
love him. In his days of health, he
was always on the move and only re-
Taxed his activity when nature became
exhausted; sleep and rest soon reyiv-
ed him to pursue other pleasures
suited to his nature and disposition.
Free to converse with you at all times,
one was led to the conclusion that he
was boy older in knowledge than in
years. When he was first taken i'll,
his friends, who were legion, supposed
his sickness to be temporary and
hoped for his restoration to health
and happiness but as time wore on
one and all could see by his wasting
form and debilitated condition that
the end must soon come; and yet, all
hoped to see him restored to active
life again. But at last the dread
monster came, although looked for,
like thief in the night to take from
his friends che best and brightest
jewel Of them all.
As we write these lines our memory
goes back to the baby boy and sees
him in his boyhood days, all life,
vigor and ambitious to grow up to
manhood-while today, his frame lies
silent and cold in the tomb, Who
can estimate the usefulness of such Il
boy II permitted to grow up to man
hood and to mingle in this busy world
of oursp Under such circumstances,
sadness and sorrow fills us all and we
ask to bring our heartfelt offering of
coincidence for the lost one and to
mingle our feelings of sadness with
those of his alIectionate parents who
loved him so well. Let us all hope
that our loss is his gain and may the
promise of his little life be to other
boys a bright and shining light to
guide them to future greatness and
usefulness.

Pittsburg G. A. R. Arrangements

The Rock Island comes to the front
as usual with very low rates for the
national encampment G. A. r. at
Pittsburg, Pa. The round trip rate
in Central Traffic association territory
is only one cent per mile, or $40 from
Chicago and $40 frcm Missouri river;
add one fare from points in Kansas to
arrive at through rate. Tickets will
be sold September 5 and s, 1894. No
signing, stamping, depositing or other
needless work required at Pittsburg;
when the ticket is purchased every
thing is settled. These tickets are
good to stop off once on the return
at any point east Of Chicago within
the final limit of the ticket. Through
cars Of every class will be run from
Kansas points to Pittsburg. 1t should
be borne in mind that the Rock Island
has never fallen down on this class Of
business and never allows any line to
approach it, in the generous treat
ment Of the old vets and their friends.

Calamity Falsehoods.

I. G. Henry, formerly Of this city,
now OF Denver, spent few days last
week in Salina and has gone back
home and given long calamity inter-
view to the associated press. In 1t he
says:
The condition Of the people is APP
palling. In many districts saw
hundreds Of teams going eastward
with loads Of household goods thrown
hastily into hay wagons. There was
the appearance Of general exodus to
escape plague. This condition, as
compared with former drouths in
Kansas is without parallel. Hereto
fore the falmcrs have been able to
procure loans on their farms to make
up the shortage in crops, but now
they have no equities left, and II they
had the loan companies would not let
out dollar on Kansas farm lands.
This is applied to central and west
ern Kansas ''as far east as Marion
county" II Mr.. Henry made the
statements he simply prevaricated,
plainly and BADLY What good he
expected to reap from such falsehoods
is not apparent This section Of Kan
sas is hayinga hard time-we know
1t. Corn is practically failure. But
there is no exodus: the farmers have
other resources, and in this section at
least are not unable to procure loans
when they want them. The circula-
ton Of such libels on Kansas will do
more harm to Mr.. Henry than to
Kansas.

CHARGES FOR DEMuRRAeE.
Shippers Propose to Organize Against
the Railroads.

Owing to the many transfers from
the Santa Fe to Union Pacific tract
there is considerable friction between
railroads and shippers in this city
over the dcmurrage question.
The charge designated as de
murragc is the amount Of money the
railroads demand from shippers foI
the holding Of a car over the pre-
scrbed tire, owing to delay in I'M
loading it, or something of that
character. 1t is similar to the charge
made for storage when man leaves
a trunk in depot for few hours
over one day.
The Topeka Press says the mer-
chants and business men Of that city
are organizing to attack this system
through the railroad commissioners.
They will probably be joined by
other towns.
The compliments regard these
charges as outrageous and unnecessary
and il is said there will be general
cooperation among the dissatisfied
shippers. As usual, there are two
sides to the story. 1t does seem I'M
just to be taxed So a day for failing
to unload u car Of goods within the
specified time after its arrival, when
there are miles Of empty cars lying
on the tracks at the same point
and have been there for months. But
on the other hand there may be ter
rble scarcity Of just that particular
kind of cars that is held ut a station
by negligent and indifferent shipper
who really feels personally aggrieyed
because the company, having carried
out its transportation contract asks
for the use of its car which may earn
for it $50 day for the next month.
Then, too, loaded cars standing
around in the yard idle greatly inter
fere with the work of the yard men.
1t Is the same way with piece Of
baggage, II occupies valuable space
and is in the way besides. If it was
simply one car and one trunk now
and then it wouldn't amount to any
thing, but when 1t is increased to
scores at a station 1t cuts big figure
and vastly more when there are 100
stations or so on the line that are in
The same predicament. There are
abuses on both sides. The company
uses no discretion in charging demur-
rage, while too often the shipper is
aggrayating to the last degree in
rolling stock whose
lime is money.
