THE LONDON PRESS.
The Usual Luminous Comments on The Elec-


tions.
London. November 3.-The cleo
lions in the United States continue to
overshadow all the other news in the
English newspapers.
The Sun, of this city. of which news
paper Harry Marks has editorial con-
troll, says:
THE dog returned to his vomit, is
the test we recommend pious New
York to hang On parlOr walls. The
chief city of a great people must see
its municipal offices tilled with men
who would be filling cells in the pen
itentiary. New York has fallen like
rotten fruit into the hands of the hood
lers; but, the New Workers may con-
sole themselves with saying that every
city, as every land, has the government
it deserves"
The Evening News remarks:
Croker has been brought off his
tip and has won the race, showing that
he is more to be feared in his natural
arena Of politics than on the race
course. The population of the second
greatest city in the world has elected
its rules and the morning after election
the problems occupying his mind did
not relate to the government of the
city, but to squaring and rewarding his
supporters. The experiment of De-
mocracy as seen in full growth in New
York seems to have its drawbacks as
well as its advantages.
The ST. James Gazette thinks:
The reasons Americans allow them
70 ina NV oil
whose leading members would on this
side of the Atlantic honor or later find
themselves in the criminal docket. is that
American politicians indulge in poll
ties solely for what they can make out
of them, and until America finds time
to produce a class who will give their
time to public affairs as here without
expectation of pecuniary reward, Tam
many will continue IFS victories in New
York"
Commenting on the allegation that
the best classes" hold aloof from poll
tics, the Globe says:
ait leaves the government of one of
the greatest countries in the world at
the mercy of mob and of an unscru-
pulous demagogue who knows how to
bend the mob to his will. The effect
upon the foreign policy of the country
is often despioable. That large num-
bers CT decent sensible people are
utterly without sympathy with the
brusquerie of Olney and the fatalities of
Sherman, we all know, but unhappily
they utterly fail to make their voices
heard above the din of the New York
slums."
The Daily Telegraph says:
Mr.. Croker may sleep better, unhaunted
by the nightmare of indictments and pros
poets Of the penitentiary. 1t is a great
victory for the most corrupt organization
in the world, and We hesitate to except
even Turkey. But an analysis of the fig
ures and an examination of the curcum-
stances of the election tend to show that
it belongs to that class of trlumphs of
which Pyrrhus said Another such victory
and I am undone."
With reference to Mr.. Cookers nantes
tation after the election, the Daily Tele-
graph editorially says:
How pleasantly these delicate euphon-
isms will sound in the ears of saloon-keep-
ers and prcprietors of disorderly houses. =,

came into collision with a crowd of men
in wagon, to which Pearl belonged.
Stacks nephew was first arrested on
the charge of cutting Pearl, but was af-
terward's released and Stack taken into
custody. A dispute is said to have arisen
between the families of Stack and his
nephew, which resulted in some accusa-
tory evidence being brought out by
Stacks relatives at the trial., Stack has
been ably defended by Col. W. w. Arnett
and Attorney j. j. Coniff and Congress-
man B. B. Dovener have assisted the
prosecution. The case has attracted grea
interest in the lower end of the city and
in Benwood, and the result will be looked
for with interest.

which caused considerable excitement
in that neighborhood. Mayer Kincaid,
employed at the B. e O.. yards, and
John Weidman, brakeman, were on

WHIMS OF FASHION.

A new type Of blouse in which the

more than the former, is furnished by

The Alexis blouse is distinguished
by central box-plait covering it's
round corners.
There is suggestion of Turkish
mode in the Sultana blouse-waist clos
ing at the left side.
Heavy cords that suggest plisses are
woven en- bayadere on all wool as well
as on mixed wool and silk surfaces.
This novelty is but an evolution of We

Of velours supports dots that contrast
in color with the ground-red on black,

cords vary considerably in thickness
in this fabric-shows two tones of
green, blue, brown or other stylish
color. The decoration of a plain We

THAT RUSSIAN HORROR.
Further Details of the Terrible Disaster ut
Khrieleff


ST. PETERSBURG. November Sur
Their details have been received of the
terrible casualty which took place on Oc-
tober aSth last in the village church at
Khrieleff, in the Kizloff district, on the
western coast of the Crimea. when an
alarm of fire was raised and panic en-
sued, resulting in the death of seventy
four persons and the severe injury of l6o
others.
1t appears that the alarm of fire was due
to the lighting of candles at the momen.
when the windows were opened to allow
the clouds OF vapor TO escape from the
packed and steaming congregation. The
crowd outside thought the altar screen
was burning; the cry of fire was raised
and an uncomfortable panic followed
There was no medical help to be had
nearer than Kozloff, several miles away
When the morning dawned 1t revealed
vast heap of the dead. Among the VIC
tins fatally injured were fifteen pregnant
women.
