that she was the twentieth daughter of a
wealthy farmer.
"At last she began to laugh and talk so
oddly that began to feel a little embar-
raised and asked her if she did not want
to dance.
"She was on her feet in an instant, and
we had danced few steps when she sud
denly yelled out at the top of her voice:

dancing a bit, but there was no way of get

While we were sitting down waiting for
the next dance she told me she had been
married fourteen times and had 1000 chill

81 thought she was just trying to joke
me, and asked her where she lived. she
said she lived in heaven. l knew some
thing was wrong with her, and L made up
my mind right there that would not
dance with her.
81 asked her TO excuse me for a moment,
and without waiting for a reply rushed
across the room toward the door.

81 had got within a few feet of the door
when an old woman ran up and threw her
arms around by neck. She yelled out that

woman, and she tainted at my feet. L

misery.

after midnight, but could not sleep. 1 had

this State, with unofficial but partially
complete figures from the other coonties,
give Palmer 600, $50 votes and King SOB 81,
a Republican plurality of 81, 1869. There
are half dozen districts yet TO be heard
from in st. Lawrence. Greene, Fulton and
Hamilton counties, and the plurality may
be still further Increased.
Complete figures of the vote for and
against canal improvement are not yet
obtainable. In thirty-three counties which
have been heard from the plurality for the
Improvement amounts to nearly LIS, 900.
Seventeen OF these counties were opposed
while sixteen were in favor. New York,
Rochester and Buffalo gave such large
vote for the proposition that the adverse
vote of the interior counties went for
naught. Little attention has been paid to
tabulating the vote on the canal PROPOSE
ton and accurate figures will not be known
until official returns are filed at Albany.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Nov. 7.-According
to the unofficial returns received by the
Republican State executive committee up
to 1 o'clock to-day from about three
fourths of the county chairmen, taken in
connection with telegraphic reports to the
daily newspapers from certain remaining
counties, estimating the probable result
from the best information obtainable in
others, the indications are that Bushnell's
plurality will exceed 10000.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 7.-Oficial re-
turns from the election come in slowly. OF
twenty Senators elected fifteen are Demo-
Gratis, and certainly three and perhaps five
are opposition. OF the twenty hold-over
Senators nineteen are Democrats.
DENVER, Colo, Nov. while COM
plete but unofficial return shows Lebert
(R.) to have a slight plurality over Kindel
for the office of County Clerk, only the
Official canvass next week will settle the
matter. Charges of tampering with the
returns are made, and a sensational strug-
gle for the Office will ensue. To-day Lee
bert, who is the present Clerk, guarded
the doors of his Office with Deputy
Sheriffs fully armed and permitted no
one to enter but those whom he trusted.
kindel appeared with a revolver plainly
in sight and blusteringly defied the crowd
to touch him, but he made no effort to get

NAVAL ARCHITECTS MEET,
Their Third Annual Gathering
With the Marine
Engineers.
Speakers Demand American Maritime
Development and Completion of the
Nicaragua Canal.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 1.-The third
general meeting of the Society of Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers con-
vened here to-day. The nominating COM
mittee made its report, recommending the
reelection of the present officers. Presi-
dent Clement A. Griscom, in thanking the
society for the honor conferred by re-
electing him to the presidency for the
third time. referred to the growing impor-
lance of the work of the organization and
urged constant liberality in providing for
the navy.
The American flag, he said, should pro-
tect citizens in every quarter of the globe,
and it was a subject of National humilia-
ton that so small an amount of our COM
merce was carried under the American
flag.
Captain Henry c. Taylor, q. S. N, pres
ident of the Naval War College, read a
paper on American Maritime Develop
ment." He showed the increasing impor-
lance to the United States of the commerce
of the Pacific Ocean. He pointed out the
directions of the connection between San
Francisco and Yokohama and other east
ern points, and alluded to the adaptability
OF the Aleutian ISLANDS as coaling stations.
The speaker dwelt at some length upon
the great importance of the Nicaragua
canal to the commerce of the United States,
and urged the society to devote especial
effort to its consideration and in its behalf
He also urged the study of liquid fuel as a
means of increasing the carrying space of
vessels.
Admiral Meade suggested that the So
ciety petition Congress in favor of the
Nicaragua canal. II believe it is to be
built" he said, "and no foreign corpora
ton should build it. 1t should be built
by the American Government. l am no
lingo, but l am freely of this opinion.
General Grants head was level when he
wanted to get San Domingo, and he could
have had it but for petty iealousies. We
should let folks on the other side of the
ocean know that if there is land lying
around loose on this continent the United
States is residuary legatee."
Admiral Meade, General Hyde, Captain
Miller and Lewis Nixon were appointed a
committee to consider the formulation of
testimonial to Congress and to report to
the society before its final adjournment
tomorrow.

CANADIAN WENT ASHORE,
The Big Vessel Struck a Reef
While Nearing the Port
of Quebec.
All the Passengers Were Rescued, but
They Lost Their Personal
Property.

QUEBEC, CAN, Nov. IA special re-
port from the signal service bureau at Lit
tie Metis Light says that the big Ham
burg-American Packet Company's steamer
Canadian, from Hamburg and Antwerp
for Quebec with general cargo and large
passenger list, went ashore 175 miles below
Quebec with her bottom cracked and her
tanks full of water.
The steamer got too near shore when
passing Matana and struck on a reef. The
weather at the time was very misty.
All the passengers on board were safely
landed at st. Ulrica. They proceeded
from there to st. Metis, where they are
struck quite little sea was running and
panic ensued, which the officers and sea-
men were able to quiet before any serious
results had taken place.
The passengers lost everything they had
of value from the water entering the hold,
while the vessel is total wreck, and it
will be impossible to make use of her.
The Canadian was on her last voyage to
Montreal this season. The place where
she struck is one of the most dangerous in
the regular route to Quebec, the lighthouse
service being very poor
This same place has been the scene of
large number of similar disasters during
the past year. The Canadian was one of
the largest, if not the largest vessel run
ming to Canadian ports and was also one
of the best boats of the Ham burg Ameri-
can Packet Company. The customs au-
thorities will at once make an investiga-
ton and the officers of the ship will be
brought before the Board of Trade, as it is
alleged that the grounding of the vessel
was due to negligence.

This Cat Did Not Come Raok.

When parrot in large cage arrived in
passengers baggage at the Great North
ern depot yesterday morning Baggage
master Miller set him on the floor Of the
baggage-room. There he stood for two
mortal hours in dead silence and no coax
ing OF the passengers could arouse his
loquacity.
When the crowd had left the depot a
large, sleek cat appeared on the scene and
the cage and sat down. He poked his nose
between the bars and sat contem plating
Pol, thinking what a dainty morsel he
would make II those pesky bars were only
out of the way. He had sat thus for an
honr and the silence had gradually grown
denser, when Mr.. Miller was. aroused by
the unearthly scream from Polls direction:
"Ha, hal Come on, boys"
The cat did not care to continue the con.
versation; he just went, his tail uplifted
and swollen with fear till it looked like a
feather buster. The parrot smiled glee-
full smile and the cat did not come back to
trouble him.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

The death of Robert Wilson Shufeldt
closes a naval and diplomatic career of
exceptional brilliancy.
Just before the commencement of the
civil war he was commanding the Quaker
City, plying between New York and
Havana, when he was appointed Consul
General to Cuba by President Lincoln. At
the outbreak of hostilities he promptly
volunteered for naval duty, was appointed
lieutenant and ordered to command the
Quaker City, that ship having been turned
over to the United States Government
Secretary of State Seward hads him at
once returned to Havana to perform i'm
portant service, for he was deemed specially
qualified, and which, it is believed, pre-
vented much aid to the Confederacy from
the Spanish colonies.
In 1881, while naval attache at Picking as
special agent of the United States with
plenipotentiary powers, he secured the
treaty which opened Korea to the world
and recognized that state as an independ-
ent nation.
Subsequently he was urgently requested
by China's Emperor, through LII Hung
Chang, to take command of the Chinese
navy and coast defenses and was made
Honorary Adviser to the Empire. He de-
clined these honors with their attractive
emoIuments, preferring to remain in the
United States service, but upon his advice Ii
Hung Chang fortified Port Arthur as the
chief strategic point of the coast line. On
his return home he was made president Of
the naval advisory board which designed
the first steel cruiser and mapped out the
new navy.
He was promoted to rear-admiral May
Z, 1888, and was retired February u, 1884
