DEMOCRATIC MAYORS.
They Were Elected in Number of New York
Cities.

They Were Elected in Number of New York
Cities.
Albany, Nov. 3.-The completed re-
turns are coming in slowly during
the early hours, but they demonstrate
that the Republican landslides of the
past two years have been reversed, If
not by giving as large a majority for
the Democrats at least in changing
something like 240, 900 votes. Governor
Blacks plurality IN the state last year
was over 200, 900; John Palmer; ;Repub-
lioan secretary of state, won the year
previous by over 100000. The indica-
tlons are these enormous pluralities
have been swept away and a reverse
plurality between 10000 ana $4,000 has
been given. The morning returns in
dicate that the Republicans will still
control the assembly, although by a
largely decreased majority. More sur
prising, perhaps, than the returns of
state and assembly district tickets
were the results of the municipal
campaigns in New York, Buffalo,
Rochester, Blnghsmton, Syracuse,
Utica, Albany, Troy and Sohep ectady,
who elected Democratic MAYORS. In
Albany the conditions were similar to
those in New York. Two Republican
candidates split up the vote of that
party and allowed the Democrat to
win. Ths combi ined Republican vote
is 1000 in excess Of the Democratic
vote. In Buffalo the Republican sue
cess was thought to be almost assured
prior to the election, but the results
are foreign to predictions.

That HOodOoed Cargo.

No news has yet been received from
the schooner jerome B. Look, which
sailed from this port about q week ago
with the cargo of lumber for the gov.
srnment docks at Brooklyn. The
cargo is popularly supposed to be
"hoodooed," and consequently news Of
the schooner's arrival is being anxi.

Affect on Congress.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The standing
of the senate and house of representa-
tives will not be seriously changed by
the results of yesterdays election.
The only change of Importance will
be the Ohio senatorship, which is in
doubt. The democratic victory, how
ever, it is believed means a sweeping
change in congress next year.

New York, Nov. 3.-The unofficial
vote for mayor of Greater New York
is as follows:
Van Wyck, 235, ,1SO.
Low, 1858.
Tracy, 101 1888.
George, 20,3S6.
Gleason, 521.
The vote for Van Wyck was about
1925 per cent. of the total vote cast,
or less than 1921 per cent. of the vote
cast for Bryan in 1896. The vote for
Low and Tracy shows 14,l27 more
than Van Wyok received.
The result of the first municipal
election in Greater New York COM
pletely reverses the conditions of 1896
when McKinley's plurality for the
same territory was 56,S65. The plu-
rality of Van Wyck is about S5, 900, and
the entire ticket is elected by major
ltles from 10000 to 100000.
Colsr's plurality over Fitch, (rep
for controller is over 100000. Both
Van Wyck and Coler were free silver
adherents in 1896.

date for judge of the court of appeals,

Webb on the civic federation and dem
ocratic ticket.

Paine. Murphy 3 Co.'s Grain Letter.

Savannah, Nov. 3.-Wheat: Today's
market has shown considerable weak
ness. The higher opening was due to
firm Liverpool cables and reports from
New York that offers sent out last
night to the other side were accepted
this morning and that the export bus
iness for the day would likely be llb-
eral. The buying for short period
was good, but considerable long
wheat was Oh the market for sale,
which supplied the demand and later
caused a gradual decline. Around
934 for May there seemed to be a dis
position to buy and offerings were
absorbed, causing slight rally.

From Special Correspondent.)


Atlanta, Nov. 3.-Associate Justice
Spencer R. Atkinson, of the state su-
preme court, was this afternoon named
for railroad commissioner by Governor
Atkinson.
James E. Brown, editor of the New
nan Herald and Advertiser, was named
for state librarian. Miss Sallie jew
EFT was appointed as assistant.
The nominations were confirmed at
once.
Judge Sampson w. Harris, who was
one of the candidates for railroad
commissioner, will be put on the su-
preme bench to succeed Judge Atkin-
son.
Warner Hill, of Meriwether county,
will be elected superior court judge to
succeed Judge Harris.
The above facts furnish the news of
one of the most important days, polit-
ically, in the history of the state. 1t
breaks a number of states and annihi-
lated many budding hopes.
Judge Atninson's appointment was
unexDected, It was conceded by all
that the race was between Hal Lewis
and Judge Harris. Judge Atkinson
was called to the capitol this morning
and had a short consultation with the
governor. He came out smiling, The
appointment was sent in shortly after
ward.
The much discussed state librarian
nomination was not such q surprise,
although many thought that Douglass
Glessner, of Griffin, or Mrs. General
Longstreet would be successful.
Judge Spencer r. Atkinson, ap-
pointed yesterday to the office Of state
railroad commissioner, 10 too well
known to the people of Brunswick to
need introduction here. His long and
distinguished service as judge of the
Brunswick circuit made him an idol
in South Georgia. After q period in
private practice, he was elected to the
supreme court. His new position pays
e salary of $4,000 per year for six
years. This is $500 less than his sal
ary as supreme court justice, but, in
the new position, he will be allowed
to practice law.

New and Novel Inventions.

V. E. Campbell has invented novel fire
extinguisher in the shape of a gun, with
which he proposes to shoot out a fire. The
gun, the breech of which is of thick metal
TO resist the strain. has a thin barrel, be-
side which the blunderbuss sinks into in
significance. and the breech which is hol-
low down to the waterproof cartridge, is
filled with water. which also fills portion
of the barrel. The water is poured into it's
chamber by a funnel in the breech and the
gun, which may be mounted or not, is ex-
pected to be very serviceabIe at fires, espe-
cialiy in shall towns as by its use water
can be projected accurately to a consider
able distance in nearly solid form.
A device for heightening the backs of
ptws when the same too low has been
patented by Isaac H. Webb. 1t consists of
brackets fixed at the ends of the pews,
such brackets being grooved to receive the
end OF a panel and having a recess in the
sides of the upper part of the bracket to
receive the top rail Clamps in the center
of the panel strengthen the attachment
which can be rendered as ornamental as
may be desired.

skirt Improvement, designed by Lena l..
Hirsh, which is intended to combine skirt
appearances with bIoomer advantages. A
divided dress skirt is provided near its
lower edge with sort of bloomer attach

ment improving the hang of the skirt, rem
dering it impossible for the skirt to be-
come inflated or raised by the wind, and
afording protection to the person, without
the necessity of using a separate bloomer
costume or equestrian tights.

was presented to Miss Lopez by Joseph
Pulsiver, to whom ii was sent by his
brother. who is superintendent of an os-
trich farm IN South Africa. Accompany
.nS the egg was the following letter from
the sender: Il send the ostrich egg. and

will receive a boom when you learn its his
tory. We had a man on the farm named
Carr who was noted for his skill in breed
the mother OF the egg l send, and she had
been one Of his greatest pets. This was
thought strange, as she was known to be
a savage bird and would allow no one but
Carr to go near her. Breeding time came
and the ostrich was soon watching over a
setting of eggs. Our farm hatches arti-
ficially, the eggs being removed from the
mother and placed in incubator.
Carr was the Lne selected to secure the
eggs, on account of his great command
over the bird. He entered the pen and be-
gan picking up the eggs. In an instant the
treacherous pet became furious and started
to strike him with her powerful feet We
had TO shoot the mother before we could
get her away, and then found we were too
late, Cars skull having been battered in

New York's Great Parks.

From Harper's Round Table
An Englishman was showing his friend,
an American, through the houses of parlia-
ment, In London, the meanwhile comment
ing In somewhat arrogant tone UPON
what he pleased to term the superiority of
the English public buildings and parks
There he exclaimed, lis our magnifi-
cent Thames embankment, delightful
spot! Why, you have nothing in your coun-
try to compare with it, especially in that
great New York city; then, again, every
gentleman here owns an estate, and, let
me assure you, sir. such estates are no
small bits of property
This went on for a considerable time un-
til the American, growing tired, said: But,
Lord de t., you have travelled in our coun-
try, have you not?
"Oh. yes. my dear sir; right across it."
well, then, you should have an idea of
its size
VERY big place. sir; very big.'
And you know New York city quite well,
eh?" '''
"Oh, yes-yes. indeed"
We'll, then, you see, we didn't want any,
thing in the line of parks In New York,
with. Of course. the exception OF a few
squares; but outside of the city we wanted
a park, and so we decided to use the United
States park for New York city"
Dear me, how extravaganza"
Not at all, sir; why, we even contem-
plated floating the British Isles over and
anchoring them a short distance outside
the citys harbor, as a sort of breakwater,
you know"
