B. g. o. improvements.

The work of Strengthening the track
and reducing the grade at Tabbs Sta
tion on the second division of the B. &
o. was completed Monday afternoon
and the first train to use the line was
No l, the New York and St Louis
flyer. heavy grade and three bad
grades have been eliminated by this
work mile east, at Meyers Hole, a
similar improvement has been in pro-
gress months and it will be completed
and ready for trains next Sunday.
Several reverse curves and nasty and
dangerous dip are done away with at
this point. Near Meyers Hole, at
Tablers the alignment of the track is
being materially changed and as in the
other two improve nents, bad grades
and sharp, annoying curves are being
removed. This part of the work will
be done in sixty days and then a series
of very dangerous places will have
been entirely removed. This work iu
its entirety means the hanling of sew
eral additional cars in each freight
train, besides reducing the danger OF
derailments to almost nothing. The
second division, running from Cumber-
land to Brunswick, will soon be in
first class condition and more cheaply
operated than ever.

PEOPLE WE KNOW.
They Are Marietta People and What
They Say is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound
to carry weight with its readers.
When so many strange occurrences go
the rounds of the press are published
as facts; when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is no
wonder that people become skeptical.
On one subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing. This is due to the actual
personal experiences of our citizens
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of repu-
table citizen living right here at home.

no room for the skeptic TO stand on

Great Wallace Show this season is one
of the two largest in America. This

ONLY two vessels of the whaling

0NLY two vessels of the whaling
feet that can be expected this
winter are now to arrive. They
are the steam whaler William Bay
lies and the bark John and Winthrop.
The steamer is on her way here from
Unalaska, and may be expected at any
time, while the bark went to the Sea of
Okhotsk and has not been heard from for
several months.
The steam whaIers Jeaunette and Karluk
got in from tie Arctic yesterday and the
barks Gayhaad and Alice Knowles from
the Sea of Okhotsk, via Fox Island. The
Jeanette is high hook with ten and half
whales to the Karluk's seven. The for
mer brought down Ia, 500 pounds of bone
and the latter 120 900 pounds. The Gay
head brought in $3.50 rounds of bone and
800 barrels of oil and the Alice Knowles
1900 pounds of bone and 460 barrels of oil.
The captains of all four vessels agree that
there is no chance of the imprisoned
whalers escaping before next July. They
are also very indignant over the closing
of the Government station at Point Bar

those he has at hand.
Chairman McConnville and others from
the Democratic State headquarters went
to Cincinnati to confer with John R. Nc
Lean and other party leaders regarding
the contests that are to be made in the
close counties.
Chairman Nash insists tonight that
the Legislature stands IS Republicans to
20 Democrats and that the majority on
joint ballot for Senator will be less than
five. He says he is to-nig hit satisf fed with
the situation in Wood County.tIWhat he
feared was that the official count might
wipe out the small Republican plurality
In that county. Since the official tally
sheets show plurality of 81 for the Re-
publican representative, Judge Nash says
he Is willing and ready to have any court
pass on the case. He says that the law
provides that the mem bers of the boards
OF election cannot go behind the returns
and the Supreme Court has held that they
have no ministerial powers whatever and
cannot hear evidence or use their dis
cretion in throwing out any votes That
is left to the courts and to each branch of
tias of its mem bers.
In Wood County to-day Norris, the Re-
publican candidate for Representative.
filed protest against the board counting
the vote OF Freedom Township, because
the ballots had been tailed in blocks of
five. This precinct gave Norris Isl and
Mears, the Democratic candidate for Rep

ship had been thrown out it would have
increased the plurality of Norris by 112
but i! was counted. The Re publcans IN
sist that Norris will be declared elected
in Wood County and that the Legislature
stands IS to 20.
1t is learned here tonight that counsel
for both Democratic and Republican COM
mittees agreed to-day to submit the Wood
County case at once to the Circuit Court
and that the lawyers on both sides went
to Toledo for that purpose.
The court will be asked to decide
whether the election board can 90 behind

special Dispatch TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Herald I
correspondent IN Rio Janeiro telegraphs
: An attempt was made to-day By private
soldier to assassiuate the President O
Brazil DR.. Prudente Jose de Moraes
The Presidents brother, an army officer
was probably mortaIly wounded while
shielding the chief executive from the
soldiers dagger, and General MachiadC
Bettencourt, Minister of War; who was
OF the Presidents party. was shot and
killed.
Rio Janeiro is row under martial law
every soldier having been ordered to arms
az it is feared that another revolution is
at hand.
The attempt to kill the President and
the killing Of the Minister of War it is be.
leved were the acts of monarchical sym
pathizers.
Another theory is that they were the re-
suits OF intense feeling aroused by the
proposed arbitration treaty with France.
Wild excitement prevails In the city
and startling rumors are heard on all
sides. The belief is general in certain
C asses that the followers of Antonio Con-
se hiro, the leader of the fanaticaI move
rave invaded Rio Janejro to strike their
first blow for revenge.
This was the day set apart by President
Moraes and his Cabinet to do honor to
Rear Admiral Barboza, one of the con-
querors of Conzelhiro's forces in Canudos
Admiral Barboza was one of the chiefs OF
the Brazilian troops. who several weeks
ago hacked and shot down thousands of
the followers of the fierce Conzelhiro,
who had gathered his forces N Canudos.
I was believed then that the crushing
defeat of the fanatics there and the death
Of Conzelhiro had put an end 10 Brazils
monarchical enemies.
Thousands OF persons gathered to- day
to see President Moraes and his Cabinet
extend publicly the thanks of the repub-
lie to Rear Admiral Barboza and his
troops, just returning by steamer from
Can udos.
Many members of Congress and persons
high IN military, naval and ecclesiastical
circles were present, as also were the dip
Iomatic representatives OF several foreign
countries.
-. The victorious troops were passing in re-
view before President Moraes at ten min
utes to o'clock when a soldier dashed out
Of the naval arsenal toward the Presi-
dents party, drawing a dagger as he
came. Fearing his intention and unable
10 stop the soldier, Colonel Moraes, brother
OF the Presidenj, stepped between the
chief executive and his assailant and tried
to ward off the dagger thrust

THE OHIO ELECTION
TAKEN INTO COURT.
A Wood County Judge to Pass
Upon the Legislative
Ticket.

TOLEDO, Nov. 5.-A close vote in Wood
County on the election of a representative
to the Legislature has resulted in con-
test which was begun in the Circuit Court
to-day. The official count of the vote for
representative gives Norris r. 1912 and
Mears D. 4S11 thus giving Norris plu-
raIity of only 81. Center Townships
vote if thrown out would give Mears a
plurality of IL votes.
Nominee Mears protested the vote of
Center Township on the ground that the
voters of the township outside of Bowling
Green went out of their precinct to vote.
The question was argued before the Super
visors This morning the board heard
tlnal arguments and divided politically 2
to on the question of admitting the vote
of Center Township. In such an event
the law provides that the matter be re-
ferred to a Judge of the Circuit Court, so
that the case was brought here and SUBJ
mitted to Circuit Judge Parker. Con-
gresham G. E. Burton of Cleveland repre-
sented the Repu piicans and Frank Bald
win OF Bowling Green represented the
Democrats
The hearing was held in chambers and
the arguments resolved themse yes into
mere statement of the facts and the right
of an election board to esta5li sh voting
booth in convenient place. Decision was
reserved until tomorrow.
