Baltimore, Nov. 3.-From the latest
returns it appears that the Democrats
have a total of 81 legislative votes, while
the Republicans have 55 thus insuring
a Democratic United States senator to
succeed Senator German.
The Republicans have elected their
municipal ticket in Baltimore by ma
jorities ranging from 1900 to 5000, but
the state ticket for comptroller and
chief of the court of appeals is in doubt.
In the lower house the delegations
from the various counties will probably
stand as follows
Observation-Disclosures county, 6; Har-
ford, A; Howard. 8; Cecil, 3; Kent. 2;
Calvert, 2; Queen Anne, 8; Dorchester,
3: Worcester 3; Wicomico, 3; Washing
ton, A; Talbot, 3; Montgomery, /; Prince
George, g. Anne Arundel, A. Carroll,
3-total, so.
Republicans-Allegha 81 Garrett, .;
Baltimore city, IS; Frederick, 5;Charles
2; Carroll, / Somerset, 8; Montgomery
/; st. Mary, 2; Caroline, 2-total, Al.
Elections for state senator We're held
in IA counties, 10 having held over from
last year. OF these are Republicans,
and the latter appear to have elected
their candidates in Garrett, Allegheny,
Charles, Hartford, Baltimore city, Sec
ond legislative district, st. Mary's and
Caroline counties giving them a total
of 16, as indicated by the returns, while
the Democrats have apparently been
successful in Calvert, Prince George,
Hartford, Cecil, Caroline, Talbot, Dor
chester and Worcester, which, together
with their three hold overs" gives
them an apparent total of 10.

Trenton, Nov. 3.-New Jersey was af-
fected by the landslide just as much as
any other state in the Union. In nearly
every section of the state the Demo-
Gratis made gains, and this was particu-
larly noticeable in the senatorial and
assembly contests.
There We're only six senatorial con-
tests yesterday, of which the Demo-
Gratis captured four and held their own
in the fifth.
The victory, however, makes a big
change in the situation, as while the
Republicans still hold both branches of
the legislature their majority has been
greatly reduced.
Last year there were only 4 Demo-
Gratis in the lower house. This year
there will be 26, while the Republicans
viii only have "a. The Democrats had
only senators last year. They will
have out of the q next year.
The vote was light all over the state,
and the greatest Democratic gain was
made in Hudson county, where a solid
delegation of II was selected. This was
offset by Essex county, which returned
IL Republicans.

FREELAND, PA, NOVEMBER 4, 1897,
LYNOHTNG AWAITS THEM.
Five Desperadoes VIII BE Given Short
Shrift by Angry Citizens.


Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 2.-There is
every reason to believe that there will
be a quintuple lynching in the Bad
Lands shortly if it has not already oc-
Cured. \ courier who arrived at day
break reported that a mob of 800 men
were close on the trail of five despera-
does whom they had been following for
sc hours.
Sunday night the four Belle Fourche
bank robbers known as the Curry
gang" broke Jail here having overpow-
cred the Lawrence county jailer and his
wife. They assaulted the woman and
then fled to the hills, taking with them
William Moore, a colored murderer.
The fugitiVes are members of a band
of outlaws who were captured only
week ago in Montana after a desperate
battle. They are Frank Jones, Tom
O'Day Tom Jones and Walter Putney.
The jailer was aroused by the men
ripping the iron bars from their cells.
BY their united strength they then
broke down the wooden partition and
suddenly presented themselves before
the astonished keeper.
The guard pointed his revolver at
them, but it was knocked from his
hand. AS he drew another he was
thrown upon the floor. Then he reached
for knife, and the four men fell upon
him and beat him into Inconsistencies.
Then they assaulted his wife and fed.
1t was an hour before the jailer recov-
cred and told what had happened.
The four men had supplied themselves
with rifles and revolvers, as the Jail was
well stocked with arms.
AS the desperadoes ran from the
building they knocked down a special
mine watchman. This man rose and
fired at the fugtves.
The shooting reused the citizens, who
rushed from all directions and gave
chase. AS the outlaws retreated into
the forest they returned the fire of their
pursuers.
Several citizens were injured more or
less. Frank Elliott was shot through
the body and Fred Swube was desper-
ately wounded. After inviting the mob
to come and fight them the outlaws dis
appeared in the hills in the direction of
the Bad Lands.
A posse Of 200 citizens, soon augment
ed to 500, was quickly in pursuit. The
chase will be kept up, and it is under
stood the men will be killed on sight.
Each of the desperadoes is suffering
from wounds received at the time of
his capture for the robbery of the
bank of Belle FourChe.
The cashier of the bank and two citi-
zens were killed when the bank was
robbed.

FUNNY PADDY GLEASON.
He Says He VIII Act rs Mayor of the
New City For I2 Hours.

New City For 12 Hours.
New York, Nov 3.-Mayor Patrick J.
Gleason of Long Island City, according
to statements credited to him, proposes
to do something astonishing between IL
p. m. of Dec. 81 and noon of Jan. l next
He says that in the II hours referred to
he will be the only mayor lawfully eX-
listing in Greater New York, and there
fore that he will have sole power to eX-
ercise the mayors functions before the
mayor just elected shall formally as
sumo his office at noon of Jan. l.
Whoever is elected" said the Long
Island City mayor, II will continue to be
Mayor Gleason after Jan. l. The terms
of Mayor Strong of New York and May
or Wurster of Brooklyn expire at mid
night of Dec. 81, but the term for which
i was elected does not expire for anoth-
er year. and the charter makes no pro-
vision for legislating me out of office"
Mr.. Gleason thinks he will be a mayor
of some sort for long time after Jan.
l and capable of doing official acts OF
many kinds right along. He said that
he would prepare to establish his status
in the courts.
1t is the custom for a newly chosen
mayor to go before justice of the su-
preme court and take the oath of office
some days before the date on which his
term begins. If the new mayor of New
York does this he will be in a position
to meet any emergencies which might
arise prior to 12 o'clock noon of Jan. l.

New York, Nov. 3.-Governor Black
will have the appointment of Judge of
the city court to succeed Robert A. Van
Wyck. the mayor elect. The appoint
ment will be for year only, as the va
cancy will be filled at the election of
1898. There are no active candidates for
the place so far, but it is expected by
the Republican politicians that the ap-
pointment will go to one of the defeated
candidates for places on the city court
bench, Henry C. Botty or f. K. Camp
The salary of the office is $4,000 year.

155; Brooklyn, 37753; Queens, 6,105
Richmond, 2792.
The vote for Low in detail was: Bor-
oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, ID
526; Brooklyn, 64,316; Queens, 5, 1856
Richmond, 2.S40. In the present city
Low received a plurality over Van
Wyck in six assembly districts, the
Nineteenth, Twenty first, Twenty-ffth,
Twenty seventh, Twenty ninth and
Thirty-first. These are all Republican
districts under normal conditions. and
the vote in detail indicates that treach-
cry to the candidates was extensive.
The vote for Low in the present city,
however, was not much in excess Of
one-half of the alleged enrolment Of
13i, 900 claimed for him by the managers
of the Citizens Union.
The plurality for Parker in this city
indicates that the Democratic candidate
for chief judge of the court of appeals
received the votes of the supporters of
Low and George.
Ashbel p. Fitch, the Republican can
didate for comptroller ran ahead Of
General Tracy in the present city and
in Brooklyn, but Coler, the Tammany
candidate, ran ahead of Van Wyck ili
Brooklyn, where he received the votes
of the National Democrats. Charles s.
F'airchild, the Cits' candidate for comp
troller, ran far behind Low. and Day
ton, the candidate of the Jeffcrsonan
Democracy, ran ahead Of his ticket. Mr.
Fitch has plurality over Farchild.
Randolph Guggenheimer the Tam
many candidate for president of the
council, ran behind Van Wyck The
Tammany county ticket, which was in
dorsed by the National Democracy in
return for the nomination of Francis
NJ. Scott ran behind the city ticket.
The showing on this vote, it is ey-
pected, will eliminate the so called Ma
tional Democrats from organized exist
ence in this city.
To the surprise of his friends, Thomas
J. Dunn, the Tammany candidate for
sheriff, did not run ahead Of Van Wyck.
1t was expected that Dunn would lead
his ticket. Thomas L. Hamilton, the
Republican candidate for sheriff, ran
ahead of the Republican city ticket.
The Tammany candidates for council
men have been elected in the five coun-
ell districts of the present city and in
the boroughs of Queens and Richmond.
In Brooklyn the Democrats have elected
five of the nine cOuncilmen.
In the present city Tammany elected
80 of the 80 aldermen. and for the Great
er New York 48 out of 60. In the munici-
pal assembly the Democrats will have a
majority of 50 on joint ballot and will
be able to control all Legislation and to
transact business with all the Repub-
/ lican members absent.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 3.-Indications are
that the Republicans have won in South
Dakota. Smith (Rep) is elected judge
in the First district by a close vote. In
the Second Jones (Rep) is probably
elected by 400 majority overcoming an
adverse majority in 1896 of 1850. Smith
Rep), in the Fourth district, is elected.
The election of Campbell (Rep.) in the
Fifth district is claimed by 1900 major
ity. Goffey (Rep.) is elected in the
Sixth. The result in the Third district
is in doubt. The Populists have prob
ably carried one district. the Eighth,
and Wilson Rep) is leading in the
Seventh.

Denver, Nov. 3.--Twenty-two tickets
on the official ballot in several counties
in Colorado so confused the election yes

The vote was for chief justice of the

Innumerable sectional fights have so
notified the election that but little sig

the state ticket the Democrats and Pop
