What Congress May Do.

New York, Nov. 9.-Wall Street re-
spends quickly to the election. Every
line of stocks and securities was
stronger this morning, and there are
unmistakable signs of an advance of
values in all directions. At meeting
of the executive committee OF the
clearing house the opinion was unani-
nous that u better feeling existed in
financial, Industrial and commercial
circles, that promised return Of pros
perity; but at the same time there was
an expression Of confidence that the
new Congress elected yesterday would
not be permitted to meddle with the
tariff. 1t Is expected that the duty
will be restored on wool, lumber, and
some other special articles, and that
some of the idiosyncrasies of the Cor
man bill will be corrected but 1t is be-
lieyed that the leaders of the Republi-
can party will not permit any agita-
ton or general revision that will dis
turb conditions or be step backward
toward high protection.

0ILROY WILL RETIRE.
He Will Leave Municipal Politics In Ne
York.


York.
New York, Nov. 1O.-It is said that
Mayor Gilroy will retire from politics
at New Years. When he goes out of
the mayors office January /, he will
follow the example of Richard Croker
and depart from Tammany hall. His
experience as receiver of the Mitchell
Vance company several years ago, 1t
is said, proved SO satisfactory both to
himself and to the company that he has
been anxious ever since to break away
from the political treadmill and turn
his attention to business.
As to his future intentions nothing Is
settled except that he will take good
long rest the first thing. He may go
to Europe with his wife as soon as he
gets out of office, but that will depend
upon the advice of his physician. His
wife's health is not very good and :e
will not take her abroad In midwinter
against the advice of her doctors. The
trip may be postponed until spring Or
early summer.
Tammany is talking of reorgan1za-
ton. Who shall do it and how 1t shall
be done is the question. Under the new
constitution the city is to be re-district-
ed and five new assembly districts add
ed. The annual reorganization OF Tam
many will be put over this year from
December to January and advantage
taken of the new districts to get held
of several old leaders.

ELECTION NOTES.
THE ELECTION IN NEW YORK.
Some Interesting Details of the Vote
Notable Lowering of tho Democratic
Majority In the City.

New York, Nov. 9.-The Republicans
have elected five congressman in this
city, and perhaps six. They have never
had more than three before. Mr.. Grant
the Tammany candidate for mayor,
carried only five of the thirty assembly
districts. His managers were willing
to concede Mr.. Strong only four the
day previous to the election.
Goff, the man who has been roasting
Tammany before the Lexow legislative
committee, got the largest vote Of any
candidate running, more than 10000
ahead of the average on his ticket. Col
onel Strong's majority was 43,56o;
COTS is 49,O37. Tammany lost four
teen assemblymen. Last year 1t had
twenty seven Of the thirty members
from the city of New York and the Re
publicans three. Now the Republicans
have seventeen and Tammany four
teen.
Every member of the last city coun-
ell is a member of Tammany. The Re-
publicans now have fourteen Of the
thirty members, sure. They claim sew.
enteen, and it is entirely probable that
they will get fifteen, making the board
tie. Eight of the districts are very
close. The majorities in the eight now
claimed by the Tammany candidates
are only 80, 16, 80, 81, AZ, Ill, 8 and
153 votes. A new count has been ordei'-
ed in several of the districts, which
may change the result. 1t is only a
question whether the Republicans have
fourteen or more.
Never did the Republican party come
so near carrying the city of New York
before. None of its candidates ever has
carried it without an alliance with
some faction of the Democratic party.
No electoral ticket of the Republicans
ever got majority here, or reduced the
Democratic majority so low as Mr..
Morton did yesterday. Hills plurality
is 2.549, with twelve election precincts
missing, which are likely to reduce 1t
two or three hundred.
1t was the most orderly, the most fair
and the most free election ever held in
New York, and it is believed that the
number of fraudulent ballots were very
few. Six arrests for perjury and 257
for illegal voting is the total of police
work at the polls.
One Of the Republican watchers was
a woman, Mrs. T.. B. Grannis, and the
precinct where she was stationed has
the worst record for fraudulent voting
and violence in the city. Two years
ago the Republican watcher there was
thrown into the street and beaten until
he was insensible He was taken to
the hospital and did not recover
from his injuries for months. But Mrs.
Grannis was treated with the greatest
respect by the public and the election
officials, and every vote that she chal-
lenged was rejected.

HUNTING AN APACHE.
A Leaf Taken From Army Life In West
ern Arizona.


The following is a part of a letter
from n former Indianapolitan, the wife
of an army officer who is stationed at
Fort Apache, Arizona, and 1t gives
some idea of army life as it Is found In
those remote regions: "The captain
(her husband is away on a practice
march. He has been prepared TO leave
on an hours notice since the middle
of July. He only takes for his com
pany Is days rations, so he may not
be gone so very long. An Apache In
dian named "Kid" murdered another
eight years ago or so. He was cap
tured, tried and sentenced to Yuma.
On the way to prison he killed the
sheriff and two assistants and escaped,
and they have been trying to catch
him ever since.
"He makes Mexico his headquarters,
but stirs us up every little while by a
raid, by stealing girl or two and
slaughtering somebody. He was re-
ported near here few days ago; so
three troops of cavalry are out, in de-
tachments, securing the country for
him. The captain, under orders to
march east to Mount Ord for the an
nual encampment, was suddenly sent
west in order to establish n supply
camp for cavalry. "Kid" Is probably
in Mexico by now, but he could lead
them a merry dance were he In the
neighborhood.
"He could stand behind rock or a
cactus within n stones throw of the
whole regiment of cavalry seeking him
and laugh their efforts to scorn, or he
could run his pony till it dropped,
seize another-the whole of Arizona is
his living stable-or, If no other was
convenient. he could, without troub-
ling himself in the least, walk seventy
five miles in twenty-four hours, which
Is more than n cavalry horse can do, to
say nothing of a white man. These
Indians are wonderful.
1--WE know of one case where man
and his wife made eighty miles in elev-
en- hours-walking-a started back
the next day. They scoop out sand in
places known but to themselves, find
water, put back the sand, and no white
man suspects its vicinity. They live
on the wild beans and certain roots
which they dig, and so do not have to
carry food, cooking utensils or betrny
themselves by q fire. A cavalry horse
has to carry the rider, carbine, ammu-
milton, blankets, overcdats, canteen,
cooking utensils and rations; then an
other has to go along to carry forage
for the horse. Indian ponies live or
the country, so that looking for the
"Kid," with every Indian on the reser-
vation his friend and not yours, Is
worse than the proverbial needle In the
haystack. Every rock, bush and noun
tain Is likewise in league with him.

Nothing Venture Nothing Gain.

A small boy who stood in front Of a
place of amusement the other day
evidently wanted to get inside. Per
haps he thought that the way to be
successful was to make success. Per-
haps he thought that a thing worth
having was worth trying to get. Or
he may have thought he saw an appor-
tunity to "try his luck" for the ticket
taker was reading a newspaper, his
head concealed behind the open sheet.
The boy crept up slowly, making no
noise. He had almost passed the man
when a heavy hand fell on his shoulder.
where's your ticket?" demanded the
man.
"Why, mister" said the boy, II
thought you was blind" and he wris-
gled away and left the place much
more rapidly than he had entered it

Dover N. J., Nov. 9.-Jerry Butler
Of Knoxville was leaving his barn
about 11:2O last night when the skies
were suddenly Illuminated by blind
ing flash. For an instant he was
dazed, then he realized that an un-
usually bright meteor had caused the

companied by train Of bright-hued
light, that seemed to linger In the
heavens for long time after the
shooting star had passed out Of sight.
The spectacle was followed fully a
minute later by IL distinct, yet muffied
explosion. People at New Brunswick
were awakened about - o'clock by a
heavy, rumbling explosion, followed
a half minute later by n bright flash
of light which Illuminated the sky in
southwesterly direction. The gem
eral belief was that the meteor had
exploded. This belief was strength
ened by the discovery Of a ragged hole
in the ground in the woodland attach
ed to the Borraem property near the
Raritan river between this city and
Milton. The same noise was heard
and a similar flash of light seen at
Metuchen, Milestone and other places.

Cleveland, Nov. 9.-The National
bank at Oberlin was robbed last night.
This morning it was found that the
front door had been forced and the
safe blown open with dynamite. VAL
liable papers were scattered about the
room. A large sum of money was
stolen, but the exact amount has
not yet been ascertained. The
vault was not entered. There Is no
clue to the burglars.
1t is learned that the robbers got
away with about $4OO in silver. The
front doors were opened by the use of
crowbars and the locks Of the vault
were blown off with dynamite. The
thieves then stole two rigs to make
their escape. One of the rigs was found
at Elyria this morning. There Is no
trace of the robbers. Investigation re-
yealed the fact that the vaults had been
opened, but the safe that contained
$25, 600 had not been touched.
Upon a wooden tray in the vault was
about $4OO in silver. This alone was
taken. The small fortune lying almost
within reach of the thieves could not
be secured.

terror may not be more beautiful, 1t
will be far more imposing. 1t Is to be

Boldt, the proprietor of the Waldorf
1t is to stand upon the ground now
covered by the Asltor mansion at Fifth
avenue and Thirty-fourth street Mrs.
Astor and John jacob Astor are build
ing a house at Fifth avenue and Six
ty-fifth street, and as soon as Mrs. AS
tor moves into 1t the old homestead
will be torn down and work will be
started. The success of the Waldorf,
which was built by William Waldorf
Astor, has induced John Jacob Astor
to invest few of his millions in hotel
property. The hotel will face 100 feet
on Fifth avenue and run $50 feet on
Thirty-fourth street While it will join
the Waldorf and be under the manage
ment of Mr.. Boldt, it will be run en-
tirely distinct from that hotel.
Henry B. Ely, the manager of John
Jacob Astors interests, says that Mr..

to outvie all the hotels in the world.
1t will be between sixteen and twenty
stories. The dining room will have a

In this state more than 5000 poles
have been reported down, most OF them
having been torn out Of the ground
without breaking. and 10000 miles Of
wire are said to be down. Where the
poles have stood, the wires have gone

connection in the state. Hartford has
but two wires and Middletown
