She Killed a Boy.

While public sentiment at the national
capital cordially supports the action of
the Grand Jury of the District of Colum-
bia in indicting Miss Elizabeth NJ. Flag
Ter for shooting and killing Ernest Green,
u colored boy, who was stealing pears
from the premises of her father, there is
strong current of sympathy for the
young lady running through all classes
of society. Her whereabouts at present
are unknown to all except her family
and intimate friends, but it is believed
that she is in Baltimore undergoing a
course of treatment for nervous prostra-
ton brought on by the tragedy. 1t is not
likely that the case will be brought to trial
before January, and there is no necessity
for her appearance in court until then.
Miss Flagler is the daughter of Gen. ID.
w. Flagler, U. S. A., chief of the Ord
nance Bureau of the War Department.
She was born and reared in Rock Island,
Ill. She is tall, dignifed and graceful,

let us forego our usual occupations, and
in our accustomed places of worship Join
In rendering thanks to the Giver Of every
good and perfect gift for the bounteous
returns that have rewarded our labors In
the fields and in the busy marts of trade;
for the peace and order that have pre-
vailed throughout the land; for our pro-
lection from pestilence and dire calamity,
and for the other blessings that have been
showered upon us from an open hand.
And with our thanksgiving let us humbly
beseech the Lord to so incline the hearts
of our people unto him that he will not
leave us nor fossake us as a nation, but
will continue to us His mercy and protect
ing care, guiding US in the path of ma
tional prosperity and happiness, enduing
us with rectitude and virtue, and keeping
alive within us a patriotic love for the
free institutions which have been given
to us as our national heritage.
"And let US also on the day Of our
thanksgiving especially remember the
poor and needy, and by deeds of charity
let US show the sincerity Of our gratitude

Re.ults of the Election.

A landslide In Maryland, Republi-
can victory in Kentucky, and the return
to power of Tammany in New York City
were the features of the elections.
In Maryland the Democrats met ver-
liable Waterloo. The whole State SEEM
ingly repudiated Senator German and the
indications now are that a Republican
will succeed Senator Gibson. Baltimore
went Republican by from 5000 to 10000.
Lowndes' election as Governor by ma
jority of anywhere from 10000 to 10000
is conceded by the Democratic committee.
In New York the Republicans elect their
entire State ticket and carry the State by
IN increased majority. Conservative es-
Inmates place the figures at from $4,000 to
10000. New York City is carried by
Tammany, but the combined Democratic
vote of that city and Brooklyn shows
loss of about 1900. The Legislature is
solidly Republican.
New Jersey was carried by the Republi-
cans by from $4,000 to 10000. John w.
Griggs is elected Governor. Cities and
precincts expected to give large Demo
cratic majorities were found to have gone
the other way when the returns came In

boxes were stored, and Thursday morn
ing it was announced that Kindel was
defeated and that Lebert had been elected
by majority of 100. The conclusion was
instantly reached the ballots had been
tampered with. The public had antici-
pated some such crooked work, and the
report spread rapidly throughout the city
every one of the candidates on the tax
payers ticket has been counted out.
Crowds soon gathered in the vicinity of
the court house and George j. Kindel,
the candidate whose election was the
chief object of attack, came running 70
the court house with a shotgun. He ran
all the way from his store in the lower
part of the city and stopped only long
enough to hear the approving remarks Of
several merchants. His appearance crea-
ted excitement at the county building.
He inquired for Lebert, then left. No
sooner had he gone than force of depu-
ties cleared the halls. Kindel during the
afternoon spoke before the Ladies' Civic
Federation, and when he concluded they
marched to the court house in body 10
the number of 80, and left the impression
that trouble would occur unless a change
of base was made. The crowd in the
court house got nervous. Rumors of vigi-
lantes and visions Of ropes appeared, and
word was sent out that watchers would
be permitted to sit beside the ballot box
es Thursday. The answer was to the
effect that il was for the alleged doctor
ing of the returns Wednesday that the
people were angry. A host of deputies
was turned into the corridors and the
remaining citizens driven out Of doors
without regard to age or sex. Then the
doors were barricaded and the regular
clerks were allowed to go home from a
side door, with a warning not to return
during the evening save at their own risk.

soft brown eyes. 1t is recalled that when
the terrible result of her recklessness
was brought to her notice she was the
first to run TO the wounded boys assist
ance, and she rubbed his hands and applied
ice bandages to the bleeding wound.
When informed that the boy was dead
she refused to believe the unwelcome
truth and continued her efforts to revive
him. The following day she offered $50,
which had been set aside for her sum-
mer vacation, to the parents of the boy to
defray the expenses of the funeral. Some
years ago, while living at Watertown,
Mass, she was seized with pneumonia,
from the effects Of which she never fully
recovered. and since which time she has
been somewhat of an invalid. One of the
effects of the malady is an instability and
ungovernable temper when aroused, and
to this is ascribed the unfortunate cir
cumstance which will eliminate in her
trial for manslaughter.

of stereotypers at work on the fifth floor

building. The large building was cut
cleanly in two from front to rear by q
gap of forty feet wide. at the bottom
of which was left an almost solid pile
of timbers, bricks and debris.

house.
Commissioner General Stump. of the
Immigration Bureau, says there is no rea-
son to fear an influx of Japanese into the
United States, and denies that the alien
contract labor law has been violated by
them.
Probably the most dramatic scene of
the kind ever seen in a Brooklyn church
occurred in the Lafayette Avenue Pres
byterian Church on the occasion of the
farewell sermon of the Rev. T. De Witt
Talmage.
At Elwood, Ind, the combination of
local gas companies to prevent the estal-
fishing of pumping stations in the gas belt
by foreign syndicates has been made
effective, and the matter will be taken to
court.

LONG DROUGHT BROKEN.
A General Rain Comes to the Relief of
the Farmers.


The drought was broken in the North
west and generous fall of rain has come
at the last minute to save the crops. The
farmers have been in despair for weeks
at the continued absence of moisture,
with fields drying up, wells and cisterns
empty, and the prospect staring them in
the face of q destruction of crops. In
many places there was n more immediate
danger from prairie fires. All these fears
have been set at rest by the opportune
rain. Prairie fires have been quenched,
farm lands drenched, and wells and cis-
terms filed, giving rise in some sections
to meetings of thanksgiving.
In some sections of Illinois it is the
first rain that has fallen for nearly three
months. In Michigan, while the rain was
general, it was not copious enough to be
of any lasting benefit. 1t is doubtful if
the ground was wet to.sthe depth of one
inch, so that the most benefit TO be de-
rived will be the keeping of the tops of
wheat and grass green for a few days
longer Copious rains have fallen through
out Central and Southwest Missouri and
the prospect for winter wheat is greatly
improved. Wheat out of the ground is
looking fine and growing vigorously. A
drought has not come up, but this rain is
expected TO bring most of 1t out. In Ne
braska it is believed to be in time to save
all fall seeding, although the grains are
not probably as heavy as they would have
been out for the extended dry weather.
The recent rains throughout Ohio have
had a wonderful effect upon the fall pas
turage that had been burned out by the
heat and drought of the summer, fields
everywhere being as bare of vegetation
as If swept by fire. The rains have caused
the grass to sprout and farmers are no
longer compelled to give their stock dry
feed as was the case the previous two
months. The present moisture has also
helped the wheat, and IL gives promise
of taking root sufficiently TO stand the
rigors of hard winter. The snow and
rain storm which has prevailed throughout
Wisconsin has done a great amount of
good In some sections il has been three
months since there has been any rain.
All Of the forest and marsh fires which
have been burning for weeks in the cen
tral and northern portions of the state
have been extinguished. Iowa farmers
and stockmen have been complaining
much Of the lack of water i'm wells and
springs. Thousands of cattle have been
the last few weeks been driven to rivers
anG flowing creeks for water, the ordi-
narr supply being exhausted The rain
fall must be heavy 10 relieve this want
and the needs of the long winter months.
Every colliery in the Lehigh (Pa.) re-
gion which was forced to shut down on
account of drouth has resumed work.

The Republicans carried Chicago and
Cook County by pluralities considerably
less than those given their ticket one year
ago. The Democrats made gains In al
most every ward of the city, but their
combined gains were not sufficient to over
come the Republican excess In 1894. Far
lin Q. Ball, Republican, defeated Richard
w. Morrison, Democrat, for the vacancy
on the Superior Court bench by 36,09S
plurality. For the full term on the same
bench Judge Henry NJ. Shepard, Demo-
crat, was elected without opposition to
succeed himself. Judge Shepard received
a total vote Of 1880. which was only
about 1000 less than the combined vote
of Ball and Morrison. The Republicans
also elected five of the Drainage Commits
sioners. which gives them control of the
new board.
