CONGRESSMAN-ELECT NORRIS.

The Duluth Herald, which led
the fight for G. A. Towne in this
district, said on Thursday evening":
The latest returns received from
the western end Of the district are
Disappointing to Mr.. Towne's
friends. The vote there is much
below what they had good reason
to expect, and consequently there
is little doubt that Mr.. Towne has
been defeated, and that Judge
Morris has been elected to congress
by small but safe majority.
1t has been long and bitter
contest, and Judge Morris may
feel proud ofthe victory which he
has obtained, in the face of what,
at the time he entered the field,
seemed certain defeat. There is
no doubt that, as the judge ac-
knowledges, when he accepted The
Republican nomination he had but
faint hope of success. The great
campaign waged under the direc.
tion. of the national committee,
however, had its effect, and Mr..
Morris has pulled a large vote that,
with less vigorous campaigning
would not have been cast in his
favor. The DETECTION of the gold
Democrats outside of Duluth was
greater than had been figured on
by Mr.. sTowne's friends, but the
chief factor in causing his defeat
was the extraordinarily heavy vote
cast on the iron ranges. It was
beyond precedent and gave St..
Louis county to Judge Morris.
But the fight has ended, and it
is idle to speculate upon the rea.
sons which caused the result in
favor of the Repu blican candidate.
That Judge Morris will prove an
efficient and credltable representa-.
tive Of the district in congress will
be generally admitted. He has
much ability and a capacity for
hard work that form an essential
combination for a congressman
who would achieve success. He
should now receive the hearty sup.
port Of every man in the district.
There will be much legislation to
be obtained for the district in the
next congress, and if Judge Morris
receives strong and earnest support
at home in his efforts to secure
that legislation, he will be able to
achieve much more than he could
possibly do in the face of factious
opposition here. Everyone who
has at heart the interests of Du-
luth and of the Sixth district
generally will aid in strengthening
Judge Morris hands when he goes
to congress to work in our behalf.

Two years ago the Republican
papers of this district did all in
their power to elect G. A.. Towne
to congress, because theyregarded
him as good representative Of
party principles. Mr.. Towne
then thought the papers were
honest in their support Of him.
This year the same Republican
papers just as loyalty supported
Page Morris, the Republican
nominee, because they had faith
that he was reliable and trust
worthy representative Of. the
party. This year Towne de-
nounced these papers severely, and
represented himself as the object
ofunwarranted newspaper persecu-
ton. Towne really had better
treatment than he deserved, and
his baby act over the natural
opposition Of Republican papers
was amusing. Poor Towne has at
last found out that he can't lead
the Republican party Of his dis
trict into the Populist:c ranks.

Went to Pieces. .
sRescued Sailor Alleges the

II Were Drunk.

MUSHROOM, Mich, Nov. 9.-The
Schooner Waukesha broke up while
tryingst ride out the gale at anchor
nenr here, and only one survivor of her
crew of seven has been rescued. He is
still too weak to talk.
The vessel had a load of salt and ap-
pies which was taken on at Manistee
Saturday morning. At 2 o'clock in the
afternoon she was sighted running with
the gale under a torn mainsail. An at
tempt was made to enter Muskegon
harbor but the schooner drifted mile
south of the pier and then anchor was
dropped. She was ridin. three.quar-
tiers of mile from shore at dark. The
engineer and fireman of the city pump
ing station watched the lights until 9
o'clock, when they disappeared. Short
ly afterwards wreckage began coming
in. This continued all night, and in
the morning six bodies were recovered.
The surviving sailor was washed Ashore
unconscious, and nothing can be learned
from him.
The Waukesha is one of the old fleet
of '.canalers," and, true to all tradi-
ton, she has taken almost her entire
crew down with her in her last disas-
ter. She was owned by T. H. Head of
Chicago, and was formerly known as
the Nabob.
Says the Captain Was Drunk.
During the evening Frank Delach,
the survivor, made affidavit to the ef-
feet that there were seven men aboard
the Waukesha, Captain Duncan Corbett,
the mate, four seamen and colored
cook. When they arrived off Muske-
gon, Delach said the captain, mate and
some of the sailors were very drunk.
They signalled for tug, but showed
no distress signals, and no tug under
these circumstances started out in the
heavy sea. The captain anchored a
mile south of Muskegon harbor. The
craft began leaking badly, but the
captain refused to light the
torch to make known their condition to
the lifesaving crew. The crew donned
life preservers, all hands taking to the
forward rigging. The craft, however,
began sinking rapidly and a sudden
lurch threw some of the men from the
toreanast. As part Of them chung to the

T. J. Notion brought with him from

brown bear killed by Elmer Fehely, a
miner on Thompson creek, says the
Yreka Journal. The bear came in the
cabin during the night and ate up every
thing excepting fifty pound sack of
-four, which he carried out with him,
when Fehely woke up and asked him
what he wanted, and receiving no reply
he took shot at the intruder, but failed
to hit him. Fehely was quite wakeful
during the balance of the night and was
up at an unusually early hour in the
morning. He saw the bear on the side
hill, where he shot bruin while casting
wistful glances at the sack of flour,
which he evidently had dropped when
Feheley fired at him in the darkness and
shot the handle off from grindstone.

der trial was Allen johnson, a colored
bartender, who testified Yesterday to
the presence of Pearl Bryan with jack
son at Wallingford's saloon on the even
ing of Friday, January 31st, the night
before the dead body was found, and
also about the visit of Attorney Shep-
herd to him, with proposition that be
could make more money by staying
away from the trial than he would get
in witness fees. On cross-examination
the witness repeated his statement, that
Shepherd told him that no power on
earth could force him to go to Kentucky
as witness. When asked if he did not
ask Shepherd privately how much he
could get for refusing to testify. he re-
piled that he told Shepherd that he
could not refuse to testify, because it
would be made very unpleasant for him
if he refused to go to Kentucky.
A. S. Bryan testified that Pearl Bryan
was of a very confiding disposition
toward any one in whom she had conf
dence. She had never been in Cincin-
natl until she came to her death. She
was an innocent, unsophisticated girl,
who had seldom gone away from home.
