JUMPED INTO THE RAPIDS.
Suicide of Philadelphia Man in View of
the Sjghtseers at Niagara
FrUc

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Nov. "A
distressing suicide took place at about
4:40 o'clock this afternoon, when man
giving his name as James Hodges of
Philadelphia, who said he was connected
with the Fourth Battalion of Pennsylva-
mia, jumped from near the center of the
Bath Island bridge into the rapids. He
had intimated to a hackman that he con-
templated doing SO. The hackman re-
ported the alleged intentions of the
stranger to an officer who is stationed at
the entrance of the park, and who arrested
him. Hodges laughed and stated that he
was joking with the hackman. He was re-
leased and then walked to the middle OF
the bridge, and suddenly, without remov-
ing any clothing, stepped one foot on the
rail and dived beneath.
The onlookers were powerless to stop
him, and watched him as he was carried
along by the rushing water over the reef
between the bridge and the falls. and then
suddenly the body stopped and lodged
there just above Chaplin Island in plain
view from the shore. 1t seems likely that
the body will be carried over the falls be-
fore morning.

KENTUCKY IN DOUBT,
Both Hardin and Bradley Claim the Blt
Grass State.

Both Hardin and Bradley Claim the Blue
Grass State.
LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 4.-Harrods-
burg, the home, town and county of Gen.
eral P. Watt Hardin, gave him grand
ovation to-day on the occasion of his clos
ing campaign speech. At Hardin's head
quarters all is serene and the utmost con-
fidence prevails that Kentucky will roll up
handsome majority for the entire Demo
cratic ticket. On the other hand promi-
nent Republicans claim that Bradley will
carry the State by 5000 to 10000. The
Prohibition and Populist State tickets will
cut no material figure in the contest.
The present Governor, John Young
Brown, carried the State by over 5000
and the present canvass has been so thor
oughly and vigorously prosecuted that it
is agreed by all parties that the largest
vote ever polled in the State will be given
tomorrow.
LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. Senator
Blackburn closed the State campaign here
tonight at the opera-house, which was
packed to suffocation. He proclaimed
himsel for free silver in his usual manner
and scored the press of the State and
Nation for advocating the name OF sound
money. He thought the State Democratic
ticket would win.

ONE DEMOCRAT Will FIN.
a Minority Candidate Certain of Election
in ennSytUanid.

a Minority Candidate Certain of Election
in Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 4.-The
balloting in this State tomorrow will be
for State. Treasurer and seven Judges for
the newly created Superior Court. The
candidates for State Treasurer are: Re-
publican, Benjamin J. Haywood; Demo-
cratic, Benjamin Meyers; Prohibition,
William H. Berry; Peoples, George w.
Dawson; Socialist-Labor, George Anton.
Of the seven Judges to be chosen the law
has provided for one representative of the
minority party by limiting the ballot of
each voter to six Judges.
The Republican and Democratic State
conventions nominated six candidates,
and in view of the enormous Republican
majority in the State during the last sew
eral years, about the only live interest in
the State elections is as to which of the six
Democratic candidates for Superior Judge
shall receive the highest vote, and thus
take his place on the bench as one of the
seven Judges of the new court. This is
the first opportunity the people have had
to vote for Judges of the Superior Court.
Last November Hastings (R.) was elected
Governor by a plurality of 241.297 over
Singerly (D.). In November, 1898, Jack
son (R) for State Treasurer had 1876, ,146
plurality over Osburn CD. Of this latter
plurality Philadelphia furnished 81, 246 and
Allegheny County % ,637.

to his bride. All the family heirlooms OF
the Marlboroughs, all the jeweled treasures
of Blenheim, will be hers. But they
will not be presented to the young Duchess
until she arrives in England. This deci-
sion was arrived at not alone because OF
the heavy customs dues were they brought
to this country, but also OF the risk In
volved IN their transportation.
The floral decorations both at the church
and at the home residence of the bride on
East Seventy-second street. will be some
thing more than gorgeous, ana excel any
thing of the kind ever seen before in this
city.
New York florists are somewhat disap-
pointed that the wedding bouquet will not
be furnished by them. The Duke, how
ever, had romantic notion that it should
be culled at Blenheim, where in series OF
hothouses the choicest blooms are grown.
He gave orders that it should be sent from
there, and it arrived last week on the
Lucania. 1t was brought over in the
steamers ice-box, but before it could be
removed the Dukes solicitor, Mr.. Mil
ward, had to enter it at the Custom-house
and pay $5 dues.
Mr.. Milward valued the bouquet at $50.
II is five feet across the top and noun
tain of floral beauty of the rarest orchids
and red and white roses. 1t looked as if
just freshly gathered, and was at once
transferred to an uptown florists lce-b box.
1t will be broken up for the wedding; one
bouquet will be made for the bride, others
for the bridesmaids and the rest distributed
among the invited guests to the wedding
breakfast.
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt will, after the
marriage ceremony is pronounced, be en-
titled to her pick from the following titles
which her future husband now enjoys
Duchess of Marlborough, Marchioness OF
Blanford, Countess of Marlborough, Count
ess of Sutherland, Baroness Churchill and

ONE-SIDED IN IOWA.
Drake for Governor Viii Run Behind the
ReDub{icua Ticket

Republican Ticket.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 4.-Indica-
tons are that the vote at tomorrow s
election will be light. A feeling of conf
dence on the part of Republicans is respon-
sible for this in a measure, as is also the
fact that the farmers will not leave their
work to vote. The Democrats made a
special effort'to get the voters out, and will
come nearer accomplishing this than the
Republicans.
The Republican State Central Commit
tee claims the election of the entire ticket
by plurality of about $4,000. The mem
bers acknowledge that the vigorous attack
made on Brakes railroad building record
has had an effect, and that his refusal to
state his position on the liquor question
will also cost him many votes 1t is esti-
mated that he will run from 1000 to 5000
behind the rest of the ticket
The Democrats are conceding the cleo
ton of all the Republican State ticket but
its head. They claim that the majorities
of last year will be reduced nearly half,
and claim there is show for the election
OF Babb because of defections from Drake g
following caused by the exposure of his
railroad record.
1t is claimed by the Prohibitionists that
their ticket will receive 10000 votes in the
State this year against 5000 last year.

FOR THE EQUINE SHOW,
President Crocker in the East
Securing Entries of Fine
Horses.
Gratifed at the Prospect of Success
. for the San Francisco
Exhibition.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Henry J.
Crocker of San Francisco, president of the
Horse Show Association of the Pacific
Coast, is at the Waldorf on a visit to New
York in the interest of his association
whose show opens on December g. He was
seen by CALL correspondent tonight, to
whom he outlined the brilliant prospects
for a successful exhibition of the best
horses and neatest turnouts that have ever
got together on the coast.
Though l have had only about twelve
hours to look about me here since my ar.
rival, said he, 81 am happy to say that
even that brief time has fully convinced
me of the success of our coming show
Our judges, Messrs. Pope, Carman, Reeves
Underhill and Bloodgood, Will have as fina
a lot of horses as they ever looked over to
handle. Already l have secured the GER
tain shipment of one carload of the pick
of the entries in the.horse show here to San
Francisco. They will go in palace horse
cars attached to passenger trains. l feel
positive that this is only the first step and
that many others will follow this good ex
| ample.
"All the horsemen [ have so far spoken
with predict great success for US. They
say that relatively our $4,000 worth oi
premiums in San Francisco is equal to the
$4,000 hung up in New York, mainly be.
cause there will not be SO many compel
ltors on the coast as here. have commits
s1ons to buy eight or ten horses here foI
exhibitors al our own show and 1 shall take
only the best, depend on that. Personally
L shall purchase several horses, princi-
pally for exhibition to coach or drag. !
shall probably buy only winners at the
show here, though the local dealers have
plenty of high-class animals for sale. The
| carriage builders and harness makers here
L am told, have many orders already from
San francisco exhibitors. Altogether, !
am most pleased with our future pros
poets.
Tonight my friend, Mr.. Theodore
kearny, told me he may possibly bring a
few horses for exhibition to the coast. Ii
ne does he will win many a blue ribbon,
because he has some of the best animals in
New York. Every new feature introduced
! at the horse show here | shall take care to
have duplicated in San Francisco. Oh
course, until the show opens and with the
short time have had to get posted in, l
cannot say exactly what the new features
VIII be, but L have had inklings of few
that will materially add to the attraction
of our exhibition"
incidentally Mr.. Crocker said that while
| In Chicago he was assured of hearty CO.
operation toward the success of the San
francisco exhibition by the horsemen
there, and some of them may possibly
send entries to the coast. He also said
| that both in Chicago and in New York the
| racing people were enthusiastic over the
| coming winter meeting in San Francisco
| The pick of the Eastern and Middle States,
| thoroughbreds will be shipped to the
coast, and the best racing that San Fran.
cisco has ever seen is assured. Mr.. Croker
intends returning to the coast on Novem.

BALTIMORE, Nd. Nov. 4.-The, hot
test campaign in the history of Maryland
polltlcs closed tonight, when the party
managers shut up their respective head
quarters preparatory to the battle of the
ballots on the morrow.
The Governor, Controller and States
Attorney, House of Delegates and four
Senators will be elected In Baltimore
City full municipal ticket will be
chosen. There are four tickets in the
field, but it is conceded that the fight will
be between the Democratic and Republican
candidates.
Many leading Democrats of the State
have lndorsed the Republican guberna-
torial candidate, Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, of
Allegheny County, and have stumped the
State In opposition to the millionaire mer-
chant. John e. Hurst of Baltimore, Mo-.
who, they claim, was foisted upon the
Democratic convention by Senator Cor
man.
Down with bossism!" has been the slo-
gan throughout the canvass, and the anti
Gorman-Raisin Democrats have worked
hard for the overthrow of the ring"
1t is claimed that the Cleveland Democ-
racy OF the city and State will vote for
Lowndes to man, and many of them will
cast the entire Republican ticket.
The Legislature that is chosen to-mor-
row will select the successor of United
States Senator Gibson, and thirteen of the
Senators will participate in the selection
OF successor to Senator German two
years hence.
The Democratic managers are tonight
claiming the election of Hurst by from
5000 to 10000 plurality, while the con-
servative estimates by Republican leaders
place Mr.. Lowndes' majority at 10000.
There was plenty of Lowndes money Of
fered tonight at 500 to $40, but few bets
were made
