Mckinley for President.

Columbus, O., Nov. 6 Election re-
turns today do not materially change
the result in Ohio With two senatorial
districts and one county ip doubt, the
Republicans have SO representatives ADD
80 senators out of 112 representatives
and 81 senators. The plurality for
Bushnell (Rep for governor, will fall
between 10000 and 100000 ltis gen
orally conceded that result has placed
Gov. Mckinley 90 solid ground in Ohio
for support for the Presidency next year.
The result shows that be and his
friends Loyalty supported sbe Foraker
faction and the governor has earned and
will receive the earnest support of the
Foraker faction next year.
The State of Ohio will now have two
Republican senators at the same time,
which has not happened before since
the war, except for brief space from
1865 to 1869, when Ben Wade and
John Sherman held seats together in
that branch of congress This afternoon
Chairman Kurtz of the State Republi-
can committee claims ia, 900 plurality
for Bushnell and majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature Of 81. The
house, he says. will contain 50 Republi-
cans and % Democrats. Two members

tain 30 Republicans and 6 Democrats.
One memhc is still 10 doubt.

Il am An Innocent Man.
The Declaration Of the Con-

Special ts The State.

SpARrANBURG, Nov. 6.-''I an an
innocent man and John Page and Fan
ME Carson are the murderers Of j. O..
Carson" said Edward Green to his at
toroey, Colonel Mooney, last night.
Green told the following tale aud if
true be is the most unfortunate man
uoder the heavens: Il am Dot Mrs.
Carson's paramour, as has been publish.
ed. John Page is her paramour. |
caught them in a compromising posi-
tion some time before the killing. If
you remember, Mrs. Carson said in her
testimony that she saw Page and my
self in the orchard and that we ran
away because re thought Carson was
walking up. That is DOT true. 1t
happened this way: I came up alone
aud saw Page and Mrs. Carson. They
we're very loving and we're cooing like
turtle doves and to say that their posi-
ton was compromising would be put
ting it mild. On the uight Of the
killing, Page did stay at my house, but
left before 10 O'Clock, taking my razor
with him. | never saw him any more
that night. On the day of the killing
Mrs. Carson told me that she and Page
had killed her husband and if | said
anything about Page having been at
my house that pight she and Page
would swear that | helped 10 the kill
ing.
"Oo one occasion, I weot to Carson 8
house, foued Carson. Mrs. Carson and
Page sitting on the front piazza. Car
son ordered ne to 60 away. Page bad
shotgun across MS lap and when Car
SOD ordered me eff, be drew his gun on
Carson. Mrs. Carson afterwards re-
marked that she was sorry Page did
NOT kill Carson"
This story was told last night in the
dimly lighted cell with 20 one present
but weeping father and brother.

Appalling Catastrophe in a De-
trolt Newspaper Building.

DETROIT, NI1cu., Nov. 6.-At 9
o'clock this morning one Of the steam
boilers connected with The Journal
plant exploded with terrific force and
terrible results. The boiler was located
ip the southeastern corner of the build
lug, 70 West Larned street. = The 6rst
floor was occupied by The journal nail-
ing department., 10 which force Of 10
men and boys are usually employed
The secoud floor was occupied by the
Rogers Typograph Supply company,
employing or 8 men the third floor
by Killers BOOK bindery, which en-
ployed fully rs girls and men the
the fourth was occupied by w. Kohl
brand, an engineer, and on the fifth
floor was the stereotype department of
The Journal. Only three meu we're at
work in this department when the ex-
plosion occurred The building, No.
is, occupied by John Z. Davis & Co.,
grocers' supplies, VI. also completely
wrecked. Only FIVE or six persons
were at work there, however, when the
disaster occurred, and the loss Of life
in that building will be small.
In an instant the buildings we're a
mass of ruius under which were buried
many human beings
The explosion shock the surrounding
buildings and glass in the radius Of a
block was shattered in ali directions,
many employees Of adjoining establish
meDts being severely cut by the flying
glass.
Half an hour after the explosion oc-
urred FIRE broke out 10 t's debris and
the 6remen had TO suspend the work Of
rescue and devote their attention to
putting out the flames Just before the
flames started, one poor fellow was
fouud with the lower part Of his body
pinioued tightly. He was conscious
and begged the rescuers to get him out.
They worked like 6snds to release the
unfortunate victim, but all to DO avail
The flames SUDDENLY shot up around bin
aud he had to be left to his fate.
Up to noon eight bodies had been Ia
ken from the rules aaS two more we're
in sight. Most of the bodies had been
burned beyond recognition.
The deaths will probably reach 80.
The Rogers Typograpb Supply plant,
which had just been leased by the Mer-
geutbaler company to VIM Dunlap and
which vas located on the second floor
of the wrecked building vas entirely
destroyed and the loss caunot be esti-
mated. The destruction of the plant
cuts of all supplies to papers using the
Rogers typograph machines.
The list of casualties continues to
grow, and it is now supposed that at
least 40 persons we're killed and 20
wounded. The money loss will reach
100000

KENTUCKY.
Louisville. Nov. 5.-The exciting
campaign in Kentucky was followed
today by quiet election. The polls
closed at 4 o'clock, but the blanket
Australian ballot without scratching
makes the counting slow and at 10
clock there are not enough returns
from the State or from Louisville to
base an estimate upon.
The Democrats claim the election OIL
P. II. Hardin as governor by 20, 900 OF
$4,000 plurality. The Republicans
claim the election Of Bradley by simi-
lar plurality but give no estimates
The returns so far as received from the
State show that Hardin has run with
the ticket and IL few COUNTIES ahead
of it, and if this ratio continues bis
election is assured.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 5 AT midnigh'
Chairman Norman of the Democratic
State committee lowers bis estimate Of
Hardin's plurality but still claims hit
election bya safe plurality. Returns
from about half the precincts in Louis
vile indicate that the city will give {
Retu olican plurality Of about 1000
on the municipal ticket and probably
larger plurality For Bradley.

A Good Slice of United
States Wealth For a Brit

New York, Novemb Der 6.--Tbe much
talked Of wedding of Miss CoDsuelo
Vanderbilt and the Duke Of Marl-
borough took place to-day in ST. Thom-
ass Church. The hour set for begin
ming the cremony was 12 o'clock. At
that hour the church was thronged with
representatives Of New York's smartest
society gathered to witness the ceremony.
The church was gorgeously decorated
for the occasion, the floral display being
without doubt the lost lavish that New
York has ever known. At II o'clock
the officiating clergy attired in their
clerical robes entered from the vestry
room. Bishop LittlejohD, who cf6-
ciated, was followed by Bishop Potter
and the Rev. John Werley Brown;
rector of the church. They took their
stations in the chancel aud waited
the arrival Of the bride and bridegroom.
A few minutes before - O'Clock the
carriages containing the bride, ber
mother and bridesmaids were driven
up to the church. William K. Van
derbilt reached the church at one min
ute Of - o'clock. He escorted his
daughter TO the altar When all was
ready for the ceremony the church
was closed, and 20 one was allowed to
enter whether they we're provided with
cards or not
Mrs. Vanderbilt was escorted up the
centre aisle to the front pew on the
north side, which she occupied with ber
other children. Then came Miss Van
derbllt on the arm of her father, aod
carrying 10 her left hand bridal bou-
quet. The bridesmaids took positions
at either side of the chaucel. The
bridegroom stepped forward and took
the right hand Of Miss Vanderbilt and
led her to the chancel steps. The mar
riage rite Of the Episcopal Church then
followed, Bishop Littlejobu officiating.
Immediately after be had given his
daughter away Mr.. Vanderbilt quietly
left the church. When the marriage
ceremony was over the Duke and bis
bride went to the vestry room and
signed the marriage register.
AS the Duke and his bride re-eptered
the church the orchestra played The
wedding marched fr9:n Tarnhauser, the
bridesmaids returned to the cbaucel and
the bridal party marched dowu the aisle,
the usbers leading, the bridesmaids
followed the ushers, and the6 came
The Duke ard his bride.
One feature of the wedding which
has excited much comment was the fact
that few Of Mr.. w. K. Vspderbilt's
family were invited either to the church
or to the breakfast. Mr. Cornelius
Vapderbilt's house is closed He and
his family are in Newport and will rot
return to town for few days. Mrs.
Elliot. F. Shepard, Mr.. Vandereilt's
sister, aud her daughter sailed foT
Europe to-day. Mr.. George Wander
bilt. Mr.. F. W Vanderbilt: and Mrs.
William H Vanderbilt we're not at the
church The reason for this absence
of the Vanderbis family is said to have
its foundation 10 the coolness between
Mrs. W. H. Vanderbilt and the Van
derb;lt family as the result of her re-
cent divorce from her husband. The
fact that Mrs Vanderbilt did not In yite
her husbands brothers and sisters to
the marriage Of her daughter caused

If CarIysle had a few bottles of our
