Peoria, ILL.,. Oct. III. r. T. Austen
received a telegram at noon to-day
from Canada, as follows: "The strike

Atlanta, Ca. Oct. Nv. Fl. Atkin-
son (democrat) Is reelected by a ma
jority of not less than $4,000. which Is
an Increase of 5000 over the party ma
jority of two years ago. The situation
at midnight was very incomplete. and
the result IL largely guesswork. Full
ton county. In which this city Is situ-
ated, has given Atkinson a majority Of
1000. where two years ago II gave him
a majority Of 1900 Bibb county this
year gives a majority Of 800 and two
years ago II gave the democrats a ma
jorlty OF 5000. In the Tenth district.
which IL the home Of Thomas Watson.
the majority has dropped from 5000 to
1000. 1t Is generally conceded. how
ever. that Atkinson has carried the
state by at least $4,000. and the returns
are expected by his friends to show
that he has a majority OF $4,000 This.
n true. will mean that the balance Of
the ticket has been successful by ma
jorites Of 10000.
Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith. In an interview with a reporter
OF the associated press. said Tonight
"rhe contest In Georgia was over the
question Of local government. Nation
al issues did not enter into II. Gov
ernor Atkinson won the confidence Of
the negro vote by his impartial ad-
ministration and the large majority Of
them supported him at the polls"
A. Il. Buch. chairman Of the repub-
lican committee. said: "Atkinson's
large majority Is due to the prohibi-
tion plank in the peoples platform.
The governor won the negro vote by
his efforts to suppress lynchIng. The
result has no significance nationally"

Memphis, Tenn. Oct. THE Com
mercial Appeal special from Atlanta
says: Georgia sends her answer to
Maine and sends IL In ringing tones.
The democrats have won signal VIC
tory. At midnight returns received
from a majority OF the counties irdt-
cate n plurality for Governor Atkin-
sen (dem.) OF $1,000 or perhaps 10000.
1t has been the boast of the opposition
that Atkinson's majority would be cut
down from Ns $4,000. OF two years ago.
Every possible element antagonistlc
to democracy has been araryed against
the state ticket In this fight. The
populists combined with the prohibi-
tlonists and the campaign they have
made has from the first been very
vigorous one. They have had many
active agents at work In their behalf.
In the cities. the A. p. A. has been
fighting from one end Of the state to
the other. the republican leaders hav-
ing been using their influence In the
interest Of the populist ticket, openly
working and keeping down the demo-
cratic plurality so as to counteract
any possible national effect which
Georgia's answer to Maine and Ver-
mont might have. The gold demo-
Gratis have also worked against the
state ticket. The returns point to an
almost uniform democratic gain.
Wherever there has been a demo-
cratic loss It has been due solely to
local reasons. Atkinson's plurality
is less than that received by the others
on the state ticket. The others have
made majorities of about 10000. The
legislature Is overwhelmingly demo-
cratic. The populists may have four
members of the senate and the repub-
leans one. The other 80 will be DEM
ocrats. In the house. the populIsts
have about 25 Of the l6S representa-
tives.

The most notable event of the year for
the Scranton Poor district, possibly the
most important in the history of the dis
trict, was the passage by the Legislature
gent insane in poor districts under the
provision Of which this district is entitled
to an allowance from the commonwealth
OF the cost Of maintaining INDECENT insane
at the Hillside Home in excess of $l.75 per
week for each insane person, the cost to
the state not to exceed SEQ per week for
each insane person. A separate account
showing the exact cost Of the maintenance
OF INDECENT insane was necessary under
the provisions Of the act and the ac-
count for the quarter ending November 20,
1885, showing an indebtedness of the COM
mOnwealth to the poor district Of S. 443 s.,
has been duly approved by DR.. Cadwalader
Bddle, secretary of the committee OH lun-
acy Of the State Board of Public Charities.
In accordance with the provisions of the
act. The district Is entitled to the allow
ance from the tine OF the approval of the
act on June 2d. and the total amount due
from the commonwealth Is about $1,000
This amount would have been collected
from the state in 1895 and included in the
foregoing account. but for the absence
from his office Of Auditor General Mylin,
whose approval is necessary before war;
rant on the state treasury can be drawn.
The annual income to the district from
this source, with the present number OF
inmates will exceed $4,000.
This is the only district which has shown
Its title to the bounty Of the state under
this act. State aid for the maintenance
Of the insane at Hillside Home has been
the dream Of the directors for years and
we are much pleased that we were in
some degree instrumental In securing its
realization, the act having been drafted
and introduced at the instance of this
board.
The new law made 1t necessary to i'm
prove the methods of keeping the accounts
at Hillside Home SO that the exact cost
of maintaining the insane might be as
certained. A clerk was employed, whose
salary Is charged to the account for the
maintenance Of the INDECENT insane and
will therefore be paid by the state.
The wisdom Of the purchase of the addi-
tional farm in 1894 was demonstrated last
season when produce to the value of
about 5000 was raised with little addi-
tional cost, nearly all Of the labor being
performed by inmates Of the Home.
The account for outdoor relief shows a
marked increase over the like account for
last year. The explanation for this Is the
ing to which thousands of men were idle
last winter and far into the summer
months. The stress Of hard times Ii still
severely felt and the demands upon the
public bounty are still very large.
When 1t Is considered that there are
some unusual charges upon the account
for supplies its increase over last year is
not abnormal.
Though the balance due upon recently
acquired land was fully paid and large
expenditures were made upon the build
ing for sane males the account for i'm
provements and repairs shows decrease

HEARD IN EQUITY COURT.
Argument in tho Alderman Wright In.
Junction Proceedings.

In equity court yesterday the judges
listened to arguments in the injunction
proceedings of Alderman o. b. Wright.
of the Ninth ward, to restrain Alder
man w. s. Millar. of the Eighth ward,
from holding police court In the city
hall. The facts in the case were un-
disputed. both Alderman Millar and
Alderman Wright testifying that the
former has for some time past acted as
police magistrate in the city hall.
After the testimony was heard argu-
ments were made by Attorney G. Com
eggs on the part Of Alderman Wright,
and City Solicitor James Torrey for AL
derman Millar. Mr.. Comegys main
tained that Alderman Millar had no
right or power to go outside OF the con-
fines Of his ward to perform any official
act and Mr.. Torrey contended that it
was entirely proper for Mr.. Millar to
hold police court in the city hall, even
II 1t is in the Ninth ward.
The closing arguments in the case
Of Catharine Flnnessy against Mary
Goodwin was also heard yesterday.
Court took the papers in both cases.
