REPUBLICANS GETALL
They Carry Everything Where
They Had a Show.
New York is Republican by a
Handsome Majority.
TAMMANY IS ON TOP.
Wins the Day in the City Of
New York.
Ohio, Kentucky, New Jersey and
Maryland Go Republican.

NEW York, Nov. 6.-With the total
vote in New York $4,000 less than it was
for mayor one year ago, Tammany halls
local ticket polled about $4,000 more bal
lots than were cast for Hugh J. Grant
last November, while it is estimated that
the anti Tammany vote is something like
10000 smaller than that which was given
to Strong last year.
The registration was about $4,000 in
excess of the ballots cast. The Fusion
ist leaders admit that for some reason
there was an absence of unity OF pur-
pose and concert of action that character
lied the work of the anti Tammany
forces last year.
In this city the majority for the Dem
cratic state ticket is approximated at
10000 greater than the average OF the
majorities of the Tammauy local candi-
dates, which are from $4,000 for Sogmer
for recorder, to 1900 for Purrey for
county clerk. The last named is the
chairman OF the Tammany committee
on organization.

PreEs from all but 497 of the 8, 3S3 cleo

Palmer (Republioan), for secretary
craft 224.715. a Republican plurality
of 119.994, outside of New York and
Kings county, showing a republican
gain of 26,3S3 compared with 1888
Deducting the Democratic plurality
below the Harlem, the Republican plu-
rality in the state at large will be in ex-
cess of 1000.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ga list of the new
Legislature based upon corrected returns
from nearly all the election districts and
careful estimates in others shows that
the state senate will consist of thirty five
Republicans, fourteen Democrats and one
Independent, and the assembly will be
made up of ninety-nine Republicans and
hfty-one Democrats.

Running with him on the Republican
ticket was Whittlesey, who has bsen
state senator for several years. Gar
fields plurality is greater than his by
1000. The district which he will repre-
sent is almost identically the same as
when his father was first chosen in 1857
to the Office.
A remarkable coincidence was the fact
that Garfield was nominated on July 2,
the fourteenth anniversary of his fathers
assassination. He is graduate of the
Columbia law school of New York, and
for seven years has practiced law in
Cleveland. He resided in Mentor.

patient, on the way to supper, unlocked

picion that the doors could not be opened

SUIT AGAINST SUPERVISOR.
Alleged Illegal Disbursement OF
Town Funds.

CHICAGO. April 12-Suit has been In
stituted in the Circuit Court by South
town-Clerk Jacobs against Edward ].
Lendecker, Supervisor OF Southtown'
and his bondsmen, Charles J. and ALFRED
w. Leindecker, to recover 100000, alleged
to have been Illegally paid out or the
town funds by Leindecker.
The filing of this suit has disclosed the
fact that on March 18th last, few days
before the meeting Of the town Auditing
Board, Supervisor Leindecker transferred
his real estate to John p. Lelndecker fot
a consideration Of 1000. Nobody seems
to know just where Supervisor Leindeck-
err Is. His brother, John p. Leindecker,
says he has Just returned from visit
in the country. but IL unable to say
where he may be found. John McCough,
attorney for LeIndecker, says he Is still
out OF town, and is not expected to re-
turn before Saturday.
Jacobss term as Clerk OF Southtown
expires tomorrow. The Clerk has the
right under the statutes to bring action
in the name OF the town against any or
the town officers IL he believes there has
been a breach OF their bonds. Jacobs
declares that he Is afraid his successor
may not try to collect the money which
1t Is asserted, Leindecker has paid out
illegally, and yesterday he put the mat
ter into the hands Of knight, Wagner
& Kendig. with instructions TO press the
suit so as to get the case into court
while he IL yet Town Clerk.
In his declaration in the suit Mr.. Kendig
will aliege that the Southtown accounts
have never been properly audited; that
the officers are drawing large sums OF
money for their own use without war
rant Of law. and that the pay-rolls have
been stuffed. The round sum or 10000
is given as the amount for which Lem
decker Is indebted to the town. But II
is admitted that he may have some
legitimate offsets which may reduce the
claim considerably.

WHIsKEY TRUST MOVE.
General McNuIta Given Extended
Powers ms Receiver.

CHICAGO, ILL. April 1.-THE first de-
cided step showing the plans of the Re-
organization Committee Of the Whiskey
Trust was taken this afternoon. when, on
it's behalf, General McNulta was appoint
ed receiver with extended powers, and
with instructions TO bring about judg-
ment sale of the property OF he Dlstll-
ling and Cattle Feeding Company. 1t is
said that the sale will be made al an carly
day: that the property will be bought
i'm by the ReorganiZat ton Committee, and
that new stock will be issued by them
and dealt out pro rata.
The bill filed to-day was signed by Otto
Gresham, son Of the Secretary of State,
as special counsel. and had upon its
face as plaintiffs the names of stephen
d. Bayer and Hugo Bumenthal. OF New
York city, and d. c. Bennett. OF Albany.
n. Y. 1t recites the history of the Dis
tiling and Cattle-Feeding Company.
which. it claims Is doing a business of
$50 100000 annually. and paid sG.lls.S6S in
dividends up TO the list OF last February,
since which time no dividends have been
declared
1t tells of the actions OF ex-President
Greenhut and the directors. and states
as the ground for the appointment Cf re-
ceiver that the company Is at present with
out a quorum OF directors ana cannot
transact business and that If new direc-
tors were elected they would be power
less to act without possession of the pro-
perty. which is already held by receiver.
The bill further recites that the COM
pany has large leases, requiring large eX-
penditures in rentals, and also upper
formed contracts, which the receiver is
powerless TO dispose of, and that as the
business of the company cannot be trans
acted the only remedy Is a sale and dis
tribution Of the property.
The main object OF the bill filed was to
bring about a sale Of the property, and
the next object was to make General
McNuita secure In his recevership. 1t
transpires that at any time up to the
present the receiver could have been
wrested from his position. In the Ohm
stead bill there was collision by stock
having been turned over to Olmstead for
the express purpose OF signing a bill for
receiver, and where jurisdiction is
given a court by collision the receiver
ship will not stand. In the bill where
McNulta was appointed receiver on ap-
plication OF a creditor in a $4,000 claim. the
payment Of the claim would have been
all that was necessary to end the receiv-
ership there. Hence. II appears that the
receivership was very insecure until
cinched by the order of the court this
afternoon.
The Reorganization Committee considers
their move of to-day a very important one.
and say II opens the way for a complete
without interference. as the
order of court enjoins the old d.
rectors from interfering I'm any way.

COTTON-MILL WAGES.
The Opinion Prevails That They
VIII he Increased.

FALL RIVER. MASS. April 12-The
opinion prevails that operatives wages
will be increased. and that the action
taken by the Iron-Works mills will be
far-reaching. An attempt may be made
TO temporize with the weavers and
spinners by promising them an advance
In May or June, but IL Is not believed
that they will consent to any delay. Mr..
Borden, of the Iron-Works mills, is not
bidding for personal popularity, for he
does not pretend to be a public benefac-
tor, but is simply engaged in promoting
his own interests. II is not improbable
that he foresaw that his help would not
work much longer at cut-rates, and that
he made up his mind that cut-rates were
not calculated to boom trade. He was
aware that II other mills decline to follow
suit he would have the field to himself,
and factories here and elsewhere would
be forced to close their gates.
Up to the closing OF the market to-
night the manufacturers association had
taken no definite steps looking toward
a voluntary advance to meet the condi-
tions Mr.. Borden has made.
To-day the Barnaby-mill weavers put

FATAL FIRE IN WORCESTER.
One Man killed-One Fatally Hurt.
Four Slightly Injured.

WORCESTER, MASS, April 12.-The
entire Fire Department was called out
on three alarms for a fire In the brick
block occupied chiefly by the Quinsiga-
mond Clothing Company, on Main street
this evening" One fireman was killed,
another viii probably die before morning
and four others were slightly injured.
The block Is a four story brick structure
the 'Kinnecntt Block"
Almost as soon as the alarm was
sound"' the flames burst through the
roof. and 4 strong southeast wind drove
brands and countless sparks along
over the roofs OF the blocks on the west
side Of Main street for more than a
quarter of a mile. The firemen arrived
quickly, but the fire was getting a big
start. and Chief Vaughan, seeing there
was great danger of its spreading to adj
Joining blocks, pulled in a second alarm
shortly after his arrival.
Still 1t was more than an hour before
the firemen seemed to make any gain at
al, so great was the heat and so strong
the wind.
The men from Truck No. went into a
small alley leading off to the north of
the burning block to raise a sixty-five-foot
truck, when the timbers OF the mansard
roof and the bricks of the walls of the
upper story fell. All escaped but two,
who were buried under the debris. The
ladder was thrown down and broken.
The two men who were buried were
William j.. Mclaughlin and Frank Jones,
both laddermen. Both were speedily taken
out Of the ruins. McLaughlin's skull was
crushed, and he was otherwise terribly
injured. He died at $50 o'clock at the
City Hospital.
Jones suffered a compound fracture OF
the left leg, fracture of the left arm,
and a fracture Of the skull. He was taken
TO the hospital and 1t is thought he can
hardly live till morning.
Six other firemen were slightly injured
The fire was confined to the block, and
was under control at $50 this afternoon
In front of the block were seventy-foot
poles bearing large number OF telegraph,
telephone and electric-light wires. Many
OF these were cut by the fremen. shut
ting off the electric-light circuits and
badly gripping the telegraph service.
Every electrician in the city was stop
ped.
Fully 10000 people watched the fire from
the streets and squares on all sides OF
Il.
The loss from the fire Is estimated at
$1,000; insurance partial.

TRANSPORTATION OF TRUCK.
Decision Of Interstate Commerce
Commission on the Subject.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission to-day pro-
mulgated Its decision In the case Of the
Truck Farmers Association OF Charles
ton. S. c., against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company and others, forming
through lines from Charleston to New
York and other northern and eastern
points. The commission decided that:
Where. on the shipment Of Strawberries
and vegetables from Charleston, destined
for New York. delivery IL made by the
roads at the terminus OF the rail line In
Jersey City. In computing the total cost
OF transportation to New York. the ex-
pense OF carriage over from Jersey City
s to be added to the rate charge to that
point
In case of a change of delivery Of such
shipments from New York to Jersey City,
and the maintenance after the change Of
the same rates 10 the latter az had been
in force TO the former city for a series
OF years preceding the change. the car
riers are charging for a less service the
the compensation which they mad pre-
sumably deemed adequate for a greater.
and, the rates as applied 10 Jersey City
are prina facie excessive.
Where the carrier pays milage for a
car which 1t employs In that service Of
such purpose II Is the carrier. and not
the party or company from whom the car
Is rented, who furnishes the car TO the
shipper. and In such case there Is no privity
Of contract between the car-owner and the
shipper. 1t is the duty OF the carrier to
furnish an adequate and suitable car for
the shipment Of all the business IL un-
dcrtakes. and also whatever IL essential
to the safety and preservation of the traf-
fic in transit
When carriers undertake the transpor-
tation OF perishable traffic. requiring re-
frigeration in transit, ice and the facili-
ties for its transportation In connection
with that traffic are incidental to the SER
vice of transportation. and the charge
therefor Is a charge 'in connection with"
such service, within the meaning of sec
ton 1 of the act to regulate commerce,
In respect TO the reasonableness OF which
the carrier Is subject to that provision Of
the statute.
Held. under the evidence In this case ID
that on shipments of strawberries from
Charleston to Jersey City. the charge Of
2 cents per quart for refrigeration en-
route Is excessive, that the charge there
for should not exceed 1-2 cents. and that
the total charge per quart for the service
OF transportation on such shipments and
necessary service "in connection there
with" including refrigeration, should not
be in excess of cents per quart; CD that
Ia cents per package should be deducted
from the rate on vegetables shipped in
standard barrels or barrel crates from
Charleston to Jersey City, in cases
where the delivery OF such vegetables has
been changed from New York to Jersey
CITY, without change in rates; and GU.
that the rate on cabbages shipped In
standard barrels or barrel crates from
Charleston to Jersey city or New York
should not exceed three fourths of the
rate on potatoes so shipped.
