Margaret Fuller.-R

Margaret FuIler.-Rarey does 81:
Johnsimry audience have the pleasure of
witnessing such real dramatic talent as
was exhibited by Miss Margaret Fuller
in the Princess of Bagdad, at the Stanley
opera house last Monday evening. Miss
Fullcr's pictures hardly do her justice,
for she is a very beautiful woman. Her
acting is far beyond anything s,en IN
this town for many years. and her pOr-
trayal Of the wronged and injured vie,
the true mother, and furious scorn and
hatred of the man who had caused
her SO much unhappiness, will not soon
be forgotten by those present. Miss
Fuller'S costumes were rich and beauti'
iul and she was ably supported by the
entire cast of characters. 1t is to he
regretted that a large and representa-
tive audience could not have greeted her
and shown the appreciation due talent
of such high order.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
Prince Of Wales and Lord Suffolff Charged
With Robbing Widow.

London, Nov. 4.-There was an extra
ordinary case hsard before the lord
mayors court today when a man named
Hinde susd the Prince of Wales to re-
cover 10000 pounds G300,000), alleged to
have been wrongfugy paid him by the
lat@ under-sferiff, Croll. wtho was the
liquidator of the United Kingdom Elec-
trio Telegraph company. The plaintiff
declared that the money belonged to a
certain Mr.. Allen. of whose estats he was
the assignee. Hinds further claimed the
sum off 10000 pounds (s750,000), from
Lord Suffolk, alleging that the latter had
suborned Croll to commit perjury, before
Lord Bramwell, at the trial in 1877, in
connection with the Liquidation.
Sir George Lewis, in behalf Of the
Prince of Wales ard the Earl of Suffolk,
asked that the proceedings be quashed
on the ground that the allegations were
nothing more than a frivolous and vexa-
tfous tissue of nonsense and he submit
ted an affidavit to that effect.
Th+ plaintiff then addressed the court,
declaring that he had bsen told that thu
Prince of Wales received the money re-
ferred to and then proceeded TO charge
Lord Bramwell with defrauding Aliens

ably been quite contsnt to depend upon

Cuba, but directly the authorities here
recognized the possibilities of a war
with the United States and the isolation
of the West Indies they set about negoti-
ations, which after hard fight with
rival United States companies, resulted
in an imperial subsidy of 100000 yearly
for twenty years to the British-Cana-
dian capitalists, who own the Halifax

Bermuda to Jamaica and ultimately to
other leading West Indian islands and
South America. The cable will be COM

protested against counting the vote OF
a precinct wher@ the place of voting was
outside of the precinct, but within the
ward. Had this precinct been thrown
out, it would have elected the democratic
candidate for representative by plu-
rality of five instead of the republican
candidate by twenty-eight. The vote or
the precinct was counted and the demo-
cratic protest fiIed. Other technicalities
are expected in the progress of the vote
in that county tomorrow.
In Noble county there was a song con-
test over twenty-sevsn scratched tickets
that were finally thrown out because
they were not properly marked This
was a republican loss. Every point is
being conts sstet in the official court of
the close counties.
Chairman Nash says tonight thaf pne
republicans have safe majority of i've
on joint ballot in the legislature. He ad-
mits that the plurallties are small an
some counties. but claims they are sate.
He has no doubt of the result in any OF
the counties which he claims except, pos
sibly Wood county, and in the event OIL
the loss of that county's representatives
he says the legislature would still staho
seyenty-four republicans to seventy-on@
democrats and have a majority OF three
on joint ballot for senator.
Chairman Nash said that the returns
from the Thirteenth district showed that
the republicans had a plurality OF 4Sz,
so that there is no longer any of the
state senators in doubt and the senate
will stand nineteen democrats to seven
teen republicans.
At republican state headquarters Sum-
init county is not considered so doubtful
as heretofore and its two representatives
are being conceded to this democrats.
This would make the house fifty-eight
republicans and fifty-one democrats.
Chairman McConnvllle does not admit
that the republicans have carried the
Thirteenth district for their candidate
for state senator and he still claims No
BILE, Delaware, Muskingum, Wood and
other counties claimed by the democrats.
He also expects the official count to give
the democrats two of the twelve men,
bers of the legislature from Cuyahoga
county. In all these counties, and in
others, he says there will be contests for
the seats in the event of certificates of
election being given to the republicans.

1ican counties. He says nearly all the
close counties have gone republican here
tofore and the republicans still have the
machinery in these counties He says
nothing will be allowed that looks sus-
picious. Other counties have completed
their counting, while the doubtful coun-
ties are still at it. He says the result
was known definitely in Cincinnati yes
terday morning and he cannot get def
mite results even tonight from Cleve-
land where he expects the vote to be
very close on two or three members of
the legislature.
Chairman McConnville will remain
here on duty until the official count of
all the counties is accomplished.

MARYLAND.
LOOKS LIKE DEFEAT.
Though Recounts Will Be Demanded in Coun-
ties Now in Republican Column.

Baltimore, Nov. Am official count
in most of the counties today, leaves no
further room for doubt that the rcpub-
Ecans have control of both branches of
the legislature and that republican
United States senate. Five members of
the assembly and one senator were
taken from the democratic list of pos
sibilities and added to that of the re-
publicans, three of the members and
senator from Talbot county and one
member each from Prince George and
Carroll. This gives the republicans
forty-nine members in the house and
leaves the democrats but forty-two. 1t
also gives the republicans eighteen SEN
ators to eight for the democrats and a
majority on joint ballot Of seventeen.
The result in Talbot county arose from
the fact that eighteen votes in Tilligman
precinct were found to have been count
ed twice for the democratic ticket. This
being corrected, gave the republican leg
islative candidates majorities ranging
from sixteen to nineteen votes.
In Prince George7a similar correction
elected Underwood, republican, by four
votes, while in Carroll the recount
showed that Stansbury republican, de-
feated Grouse, democrat, by twenty
three votes. The doubtful votes in
Montgomery and Washington counties
also went into the republican column
by small majorities
The democratic state headquarters
were closed up today. and all the mem
bers of the state committee have gone
to their respective homes. Before leav-
ing, however, Chairman Murray Van
Diver gave out the following statement

I'm regard ito the house of delegates,
am still of the opindon that the demo-
Gratis will have a majority in that body
and will organize it. The election in Eev-
eral counties is SO close that 1t is i'm
possible to tell ait present which sde has
won, and believe a recount will be de-
rnanded in Montgomery county by The
democrats. who claim that they have
elected at BEAST one and possibly two
members of the house, while the republic
cans claim they have elected all three.
A recount may also be demanded i'm
Talbot and Carroll counties to determine
the result with certainty. AT amy rate,
we have not given UP our expectation
of controlling the house, whether we
have a majority on joint ballot or not
