BY the United Press.
Washington, Nov. 1G.-!The members
of the committee on elections of the
house of representatives in the Fifty
fourth congress will find their positions
no sinecure. Notwithstanding the inn
mense majority secured by the Re-
publicans last week, there will be an un-
usually large number OF contests for
seats made before the committee, great
er than when the elections gave much
narrower margin to the successful
party.
1t is said at Republican headquar-
ters that the size of Republican ma
jority will have no weight in determin-
ing the consideration or issue Of the
contests: that in all cases where fraud
is clearly proved of sufficient extent to
have reversed the will of the voters, or
where the majority of the voters in a
district have been prevented by undue
means from expressing their will, the
seat will be given to the man legally
and morally entitled to 1t. Contests on
mere technicalities, it was further
stated, would not be encouraged in any
way.
The Republican congressional cam
palgn committee have been advised OF
the intention of the defeated candi-
dates to institute contests in twenty-six
districts, the contests In every case but
one being Democrat.

was so great that the streets Of Philippi
were almost impossible. The process
sion extended from one end of the town
to the other. In the line Of march We're
hundreds of horsemen with their steeds
gayly caparisoned, bearing torches, fol-
lowed by wagons with many devices.
The whole town was decorated and
illuminated and from Court House
square there was magnificent display
OF fireworks. The multitude cheered
necessarily. Congressman Dayton's
home was beautifully decorated. Mr..

By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 16.-The United
States cruiser Cincinnati which left
the Brooklyn navy year this morning.
returned this afternoon, having met
with an accident on her way to New
London. When the vessel was passing
Execution Rock in Long Islang sound
she struck sunken object, which broke
some of her plates forward amldships
near the boiler.
The water began to pour into the air
chamber and all the bulkheads were
closed. Although the accident was not
a serious one, Captain Glass deemed II
wise toreturn to the navy yard.
AT the time the vessel struck she was
ploughing through forty-eight feet of
water, and there are no rocks charted
there. 1t is surmised that the object
struck was a sunken coal barge. The
Cincinnati will be placed in dry dock
and examined.

BLAND TO TRY AGAIN.
VIII EndeayOr TO Pass Free Silver Bill
at the Coming Session.
a. Irpit.a Drask


Washington, Nov 16-Mr. Bland's
friends in congress declare that it is
the intention of the father of silver to
make one last great effort to force a
free coinage bill through the house dur
ing the coming session. 1t Is very we'll
known that Speaker Crisp is in harm
ony with Bland and the expectation is
that the committee on rules will favor
the Missouri statesman in every posi-
BILE manner.
There Is clear majority in favor of
free silver in the house and II such u
bill goes through it will be likely to be
approved by the senate if vote is ever
reached and 1t is equally certain TO be
disapploreG by the president. StiL
this will not deter Mr.. Bland who be-
lieves that he can pass such bill
through the house over the presiden-
tial veto.

BY the United Press.
New York, Nov. 16.-The National
league men during this mornings ses-

sociation. President Young said that
there is no possibility of such an asso-

association and the league would each
in some instances have teams in the
same towns.
Mr.. Young said that the meeting was
also considering the contracts of some
players which wouldsse soon run out,
where the players hau signifed some
intention Of joining the new association
should it be formed.
Mr.. Young said that these players
would be disciplined. He thought that
all the discussion over the new associa-
ton at the meeting would not show any
probability of the associations exist

Frightful Evidence That Muscott Came
10 Life in His Grave.

BY the United Press.
Grand Ledge, Mich. Nov. 1G-Elam
Muscott, formerly a fruit tree agent,
who for about two years made Grand
Ledge his home and headquarters,
while on n trip to Alma, little over a
year ago, was taken i'll and died very
suddenly. Being among strangers, he
was buried rather hastily. Recently it
was decided to take up the body and
remove it to Wiliamstown.
When they opened the coffin, to their
horror, they found the corpse turned
over, with the hands clutching the hair,
handfuls of which had been torn out.
The face was terribly lacerated and
torn which were evidences of the des-
perate struggle he had made to free
himself from his tomb. 1t is thought
that the supposed death was only case
os suspended animation.
