clares His Reelection Assured.
Cleveland, Nov. 3,-The Leader, Sena-
tor Hanna's home organ, says: "Gov-
ernor Bushnell has carried Ohio by a
majority Of from 10000 to $4,000. This
insures the election Of a Republican
majority in the central assembly and
h return of Marcus A. Hanna to the
United States senate. In this city and
Cuyahoga county, the Republican
ticket has a majority of from 1000 to
500, n three of the Republican sena-
tors and nine Republican representa-
tives in the Legislature are elected"
The Plain Dealer Dem.) makes the
following statement: 'The Republican
legislative ticket is running 10 per cent.
behind the state ticket and the state
ticket is losing in Cleveland an aver
age Of % per cent. This detection will
reduce the Republican plurality to a
close margin, though it is probable that

ties as "the fighting parson,' has re-

counties of Blair, Clinton, Cumber-
land, Dauphin, Huntingdon, Lycoming,

feated Beacon, the regular Republican
candidate. In 1896 the Prohibition vote
in the state was 2O,779 and last year 1t

The result in Dauphin county caused
a tubilation by the friends of DR.. Swal-

did not anticipate such a result, and
paraded the streets with a band. In
that county the Republicans carried
everything but state treasurer.

against Haywood's plurality of 174,-

A wedding Ceremony Spoiled by the

hAiNekHhuh DtAhuAtAAks
Eight o'clock this morning was the hour
fixed for a wedding ceremony in the Ger
man Catholic church, on North Chestnut
street, but the hour passed without the cere-
mony. This was due to the bridegroom de-
f%aulting in appearance. Efforts ave been
made TO ascertain the cahse, but nothing
definite was learned up 70 the time the
HERALD went TO press. The disappointed
young lady was Miss Katid Nichter, Of 22s
West Coal street. She was almost Frustrated
by grief over the affair. The young man
who failed to appear was William Schneider, a
former resident Of town now employed by
Merit, a baker at Pottsville.
A HERALD reporter called at Miss Nichter's
home at noon to-day and was informed, in
answer to questions bearing upon the matter,
that IL was true the young lady had met
one Of the most bitter and distressing of dis
appointments, but the family expressed the
hope that there was some mistake and that
tho ceremony would take Place in a day or
two. 1t was stated that Mr.. Schneider was
expected to arrive from Pottsville early this
morning. Everything was in readiness at
Miss Nichter's nome for the journey TO the
church. When Mr.. Schneider failed to arrive at
the hour fixed there was an u%neasiness, which

sent to the pastor Of the church that an in
definite postponement of the wedding would
be necessary and arrangements were made
accordingly. A telegram was then sent TO
Pottsyille and a reply received from baker
Mertz stating that Mr.. Schneider had started
on his Pottsville delivery route at the usual
hour this morning. There was little salts
faction in this and a sister-in-law Of the

tain the facts of the case. Miss Nichter and
her friends are awaiting the return of Mrs.

The Republican state committed
claims confidently that they viii carry
CuyahOga and make gains i'm other
counties. They state tina they had
anticipated losses i'm the cities on ac-
count of local fights on bossism and
other fractional troubles. but that they
had the best reports from the rural
districts. A heavy rain prevailed all
day. and this no doubt affected the
rural vote. The Republican gains seem
to come from the rural Democratic
counties and the Democratic gains
from the Republican counties in which
the large cities are located.
The Republicans do not concede the
loss of their state or Of the control Of
the legislature, but admit that the re-
suit will be very close on both. Owing
to the condition of the roads the bicy-
Gle couriers are having trouble I'm
rendering the prompt service that was
expected from the rural precincts.
Chairman Nash, at the Republican
state headquarters, would not give out
any statement, but his assistants, who
were tabulating the returns, announced
hat Bushnell was elected governor and
the entire Republican state ticket was
elected by from 5000 to 10000 plurality.
The basis of Democratic gains has been
reduced from 1G to 8 per cent. The first
returns from the cities and the Re
publicans claimed almost uniform
gains from the rural districts.
At Republican state headquarters
they are more confident of having a
majority in the legislature than of a
decisive plurality on the state ticket.
They claim IS of the 36 senator's sure,
with Is Democrats and 3 doubtful.
They also claim a majority of the 100
representatives, but no definite figures
are given.
This county %(Franklin) gave McKin-
ley a plurality Of 1900 last year. It
gives the Democratic state ticket this
year a plurality of 1000 and elects the
entire Democratic ticket, the only close
vote being for sheriff.

His Weight in Gold.

The ancient annual ceremony OF
"Talabbaram," Or weighing the
Maharajah of Travancore against an
equivalent weight of gold, has come
round again. 1t appears to have
been conducted this year with great
pomp and ceremony, for the present
Maharaiah is a Hindu Of the ortho'
dox type, who aspires to keep up the
traditions of his house. Some months
before the ceremony the Government
purchased through its commercial
agent at Alleppey about two thou
sands weight of pure gold, the great
or part of which was converted into
coins for this purpose. After pre-
senting an elephant and offerings to
the shrine, the Maharajah entered
the building prepared for the occa-
sion, and having completed the pre-
liminary ceremonies, mounted one OF
the scales. The sword and shield
we're laid in his lap; in the other side
of the scale gold coins, struck for the
occasion, were placed by the first and
second princes, till it touched the
ground and the Maharajah rose in
the air, the priest meanwhile chant
ing Wedic hymns. Volleys were
fired, the band played, and the troops
presented arms. The Maharajah
worshiped at the shrine, and then
went to the palace. Subsequently
the Dewan and other officials distrib'
utcd the coins from the fort gates tt
fifteen thousand BrahminS.
