COLUMBUS, Nov. 2.-At 1l;3O o'clock
tonight the Democratic managers at
their state headquarters had not changed
their earlier claims on the election of
Chapman as governor and on securing
a majority on joint ballot In the legisla-
ture for senator No definite figures
were given out and It was conceded that
some doubtful counties and senatorial
districts had not been heard from on the
vote for member OF the legislature.
Chairman Nash, at the Republican
state headquarters, would not give out
any statement at this hour. but his as
slstants who were tabulating the returns
announced that Bushnell was elected
governor and the entire Republican state
ticket was elected by from 5000 10 10000
plurality. The basis OF Democratic
gains had been reduced since 10 .. nI,.
from sixteen to eight per precinct. The
first returns came from the cities and
the Republicans claimed almost uniform
gains from the rural districts.
At Republican headquarters at this
hour they are more confident Of having
a majority IN tho legislature than OF a
decisive plurality on the state ticket.
They claim eighteen OF the thtrty-slx
senator's sure, With fifteen Democrats
and three doubtful, They also claim a
majority OF the 100 representatives. but
no definite figures are given on either
the counties for representatives or the
snatoIial districts.
Thts county (FTanktin) gave McKln-
ley a. plurality Of 2.2OO last year. 1t gives
the Democratic state ticket this year a
plurality OF 1000 and elects the entire

Snowflake Park Will Hardly Hold
the Ball Crowd.

Should the weather remain clear to-
morrow it is expected that several
thousand people will go to Snowflake
Park to see the baseball team defeat

(No one is barred from this missing
word conteSt)
The home club will be up against the
famous Baltimores, and if the Gilt
Edge lads do not forget to play ball,
in their desire to see the other fellows
do their pretty work, it is not unlikely
that they will give the champions all
they want.
Some fear that Hughes may get ner-
yous before a large home audience and
not maintain his usual control of the
ball. and as Harvey did such perfect
twiriing last Sunday they believe he
would be the safer man in the box in
such a trying emergency. However,
those who know Hughes best, believe
he Will be equal to the test.
Little Harry Reitz, the Baltimore's
crack second baseman, will find him
self playing ball right on the same spot
on which he used to play with the old
Sacramentos before he dazzled the
baseball world as a National League
player Harry will receive a warm
welcome from his former Sacramento

alleges is due him for nursing Manuel

The demand is contested on the
ground that Stewart did not perform
services that would entitle him to any
such remuneration. E. J. Dwyer ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and A. A. De

claimed his property.
Plum arrived in Sacramento about
two weeks ago, and claimed to have
had about 81 400 when he landed, most
of which has vanished. He says he
deposited most of the money with the
proprietor Of a saloon on K street, and
that the latter afterward refused to
give it up.
The police have discovered that for
several days after his arrival, Plum
was seen with noted crook, and they
believe the latter could tell something
about the alleged vanished coin.
The officers are inclined to believe
that Plum is weak minded, though not
what might be termed plumb crazy

TIPS ON THE WEATHER.
Barwick, the Local Observer, Rises
to Explain.

In reference to posting the daily
weather forecasts in each street car.
Observer Barwick wishes to say that
two forecast cards are placed in each
car, to make it easier and pleasanter
for all inside passengers to see and
read them.
This makes over 600 cards issued
from the local Weather Bureau office
in this city each day, excepting Sun-
days and holidays, on which days no
cards are issued.
Mr.. Barwick wishes it distinctly un-
derStood that all forecasts of the
weather issued from his office are made
by the forecast officer in San Francisco
and from there telegraphed to the
Weather Bureau office in this city.
These forecasts. as received, are given
to the public, the local observer hav-
ing nothing whatever to do or say in
regard to the weather forecasts.

An Elk GROVE SENSATION.
ALLEGED POISONING OF FRANK
M. COONS.
Still Alive, but Partially Paralyzed
the Act Charged Upon
Chinaman.

Word was telephoned to Sheriff John
among his friends as Frosty" Coons,
VINO lives near the Costumes River,
had been poisoned by a Chinaman
This being tax collecting time, the
Deputies We're all busy, SO Sheriff john
son sent word to Constable Springstead
at Elk Grove and requested him to in
vestigate the matter and take the nee
sssary action in the matter.
This is all that was known of the
matter at the Sheriff's office, but from
other sources a Record Union" re-
porter ascertained that Mr.. Coons was
not dead, but was suffering severely
from the poison or whatever it was
that affected him.
With Mr.. Coons on the ranch is a
black man named Green. A Chinaman
who had been employed there, but was
discharged a month ago and has since
been hanging about the place, yester-
day offered Coons and Green each a
drink from a bottle Of whisky. The
former imbibed, but the latter declined.
Coons was almost Immediately seized
with convulsions, and DR.. Beattie was
summoned from Elk Grove to attend
him. One convulsion followed another
at intervals of about ten minutes, and
at such times it took three men to
hold the sufferer AT last accounts,
however, Mr.. Coons was resting easily,
though paralysis of one side had re-
suited, and his condition was regarded
as rather critical
The colored man had fortunately
saved the liquor poured out for him,
and DR.. Beattie said, after examining 9
it, that there We're indications of its
containing strychnine. The whisky
will be properly analyzed to determine
whether or not such is the case.
What makes it look as if the China
man had Intentionally poisoned Mr..
Coons is the fact that as soon as the
latter was taken sick the Celestial
hastened away, and up to last evening
the report was that he had not yet
been found, though Constable Spring
stead and others were searching for
him.
The Chinaman was discharged by
Mr.. Coons toward the close of the hop
picking season for having sold opium
to the other Chinese employees.
