AS the night grew older, the cheering
bullstins came faster and faster and the
crowd cheered louder and louder as state
after state swung into the Republican
column. Then there were such nuggets
OF news as waA contained in the bulletin
that Bryan's own ward had gone against
him; that Nebraska, his state, would
give II, 900 Republican majority.

smiled audibly. Then the stereopticons

A Winning Gait.

In evidence and their shrill cries greeted
the bulletins as the stereopticon flashed
them on the screen. With Young Anne
RIGA came fathers and big brothers who,
during the day, had helped swell the
magnificent plurality which Portland
gave tossMeKinley and the cause of hon.
est money. The bulletin to the effect that
the Republican plurality was 200 greater
than in September was the cause of the
first burst of applause and in acknowl-
edgement Old Lady Portland came out
with her broom and she owned the
earth for the time being, sweeping Bryan
away with her big broom. This cartoon,
the first of series prepared by the artist
OF the PRESS staff for the occasion, was
greeted with shouts of laughter.
By this time Exchange street was
black with people. They stood packed to-
gether in a solid mass & from Federal
street nearly to Middle. Once or twice
carriages were driven through. with
many warning cry from the drivers,
teams through that mass of humanity
were few and daring.
At little after came the first news
from outside the state. Rochester, N.
Y, was the first city to be heard from
and it sent cheering tidings. This is the
message which the lime light flashed
across the street for the delectation ana
delight of the expectant hundreds:
Rochester, N. Y, November 3.-Re-
tIrns show Mckinley has carried this
city by over 5000 and the county by
about 1000. -
And the cheering had scarcely lied
away when came this glorious news of
far away state:

nittee, telegraphs that his advices indi-
cate that Mckinley will carry Tennessee

Right on the heels of this was as good

CHAOS IN CAMP.
Awful Charges Against Cripple Creeks
Chief of Police.

Cripple Greek is on the eve of another
sensational encounter with the representa-
tives of the law, and a repetition of the
famous Bull Hill episode of three years
ago Is not improbable.
The Bar association and the Municipal
league have risen against the actions OF
Jim Marshall, chief of police, and Bod
Mullen, police magistrate. The latter led
the herds cf merccnarics that invaded the
county during the former strike. while
Marshall has a record in Missouri and Col
orado for gross violations of the law.
The charge Is that the pair have been
exacting regular monthly contributions
from lawbreakors, whilo it is said they
are not unfamiliar with robbcries that
have never been investigated.
The Bar association has offered TO prose-
cute both and send them TO the peniten-
tiary. The camp is divided into factions
that may come into collision at any timo.
Marshall does not deny any of The
charges. but says he was elected and that
he will stay In office despite the efforts of
the citizens.
He was indicted for train robbery by n
United States jury five years ago, and is
we'll known in Kansas City, where he kept
panel house. e.-Now York Recorder.

SHORE LINE EXPRESS LATE.
Accident TO Locomotive Compelled Change
OF Engines at Mansfield.

The engine on the day express Of the
Shore Line, which leaves Boston for New
York at 10 :03 a. M, had what is known
as shot box,' being burnt out con-
siderably between Boston and Mansfield.
The engine, however pulled the train
to Mansfield, where a low three-driver
freight engine was hitched on, which
brought the train into Providence about
10 minutes late. The train is due at
IL: :04. A regular engine of the original
Old Colony system was hitched OF, and
the train left Providence about seven
minutes late. This time will be made
up, however, between here and New
London.
1t was an interesting interview TIE
NEWS reporter had with gineer
Fletcher of the Bay State Lin tied, the
fastest train on the N. Y, N. III. & III.
X. X. Mr.. Fletcher resides in Boston,
but had come to Providence as q pas
senger ON the regular day express. He
runs only on Tuesdays. Thursdays and
Saturdays. This was his day off, and
gave The NEWS man time TO ask him a
few questions. When asked II he did
not run mile minute on some
stretches, ne replied: ~, yes, we do
better than that" He said that the best
road was ordinarily between Boston and
Providence, but owing to the abolish
ment OF grade crossings between Boston
and Readville, he was obliged to run
slow. AT present the best of the road
was between this city and New London.
In reply to question whether he consid-
cred the train the best on tine road, ne
said Ii was the best run, but 1t was
very fast aud shook man up a great
deal running so fast. The train makes
the trip from Boston TO Providence in
about b5 minutes. 1t can be readily
seen that the foot, s inch drivers going
round at the rate OF a mile a minute
would shake up anyone on the engine
while the passengers on the cars do not
notice the speed on account OF the fine
spring under the palace cars. The whole
trip OF 233 miles is made in five hours.

This Morning.
The Cathedral Was Crowded
With. SOrrOwing Citizens.
aulogy by Father SimmOns--Many
Followed Cortege to Grave.

The funeral of the late George j. West,
which took place from the Cathedral this
morning was one of the largest ana IN
many ways most notable funerals that
have ever been hello in this city. The
gathering of the friends of the deceased
at the Cathedral during the last services
over his remains, included all classes of
citizens, from the chief magistrate of the
city, mem bers of both branches of the
city government, judges of the different
State courts, members of the State par
officials of di fferent towns in the State,
societies of note in this city and vicinity,
as well as citizens who filled no official
position, but wished TO pay their last
tribute TO an eloquent and worthy man.
Long before the funeral cortege arrived
at the church. all but the portion of that
large editice reserved for city and State
officials was filled with worshippers, and
Cathedral square.and the approaches TO
the church were blocked, except where
some diligent police Off GERS Kept a path
open for the passing of teams.
The funeral did not reach the church
until something after..11 o'clock, but the
large number OF people who were waiting
for il stood in the hot sun for two hours
without a mnrmur. The sad home leav-
ing of wife and friends took place from
the late residence of the deceased on
Roanoke avenue, and the large number
OF men who walked in front of the hearse
bore up 1ravely under their walk under
the oppressive heat.
The Robert Emmett Literary Associs-
ton represented by nearly every mem ber
the Johu Mitchell Association, and the
mem bers of the Democratic city commit

escorted the remains to the cathedral.
