Robert Stern, an employee of
Henry Luckmeyer's gin near

frightful accident Friday after
noon. In endeavoring to extri-
cate a small string that had be-

extricated. His arm was broken
in two places, between the wrist

No Doubt at All About Wolcott's
Election

BOSTON, Nov 3.-Roger Wolcott, the
Republican candidate, is reelected as
governor of Massachusetts by plural
ity of nearly $4,000. There are still a few
remote precincts to be heard from, but
the total vote in these districts is only
a few hundred. Revised returns show
total vote of 165,313 for Wolcott.
1896 for George Fred Williams, regular
Democratic candidate, and 14,129 for
William Everett, the nominee of the
National Democrats. Wolcott's plural
ity was 154,79 last year, nearly 1900
less than his total vote this year.
This years political complexion of the
general house will be as follows: Sen
ators. Republicans, 81; Democrats, 6;
house, Republicans, 1872; Democrats, -;
Independent. 6; Prohibition, 1.
ONE LONELY DEMOCRAT
BOSTON, Nov. 3.-The entire vote of
the state, with the exception of the
town of Gosnold, was completed to-
night and the returns give Wolcott 1885,
$40, Williams 79,414, Everett 14,134
Owing to the closeness of the vote in
the Second Hampden senatorial district
the result was definitely ascertained to-
day and now appears that w. B. Ma
honey, Democrat, is elected over D. H.
Ives, Republican, the present incum-
bent. This makes the senate stand
thirtythree Republicans and seven
Democrats. The house remains un-
changed, 1S2 Republicans, fifty-one
Democrats, six Independents and one
Prohibitionist.

A Coward's Crimes

CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-Aa attempt to
assasinate Mrs. John Henry, a promi-

Clifton was made this morning by Lind
say Neighbert, a gardener whom she
had recently discharged. While Mrs
Henry was at breakfast alone Neighbert
suddenly entered the room and began
firing at her. A servant bravely seized
the assassin, after he had fired two
shots, and pushed him out of the room.
He fled to the woods, where, an hour or
two later, he was found dead with a
bullet through his head. Mrs. Henry's
life was saved by the bravery of Delsine
Barrett, who actually overpowered
Neighbert. Mrs. Henry's wounds are
in the arm and not regarded as serious
Neighbert had been suspected Of theft
and was discharged the next day after
the marriage of Miss Henry to Mr.. E
o. Mccormick of the Big Four, because
number of articles were missing al
that time. He was so years Of age.

A GREAT PLAN
TO Solve the Question Of Hydraulic
Mining

Mining
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. ga plan
which is calculated to revolutionize
hydraulic mining in this State and to
terminate the fight Of years between
mountain and valley has been evolved
by J. A.. Filcher of this city and will be
submitted, he states. to the proper au-
thorities. He thinks that he has dis
covered a way by which the evil may not
only be removed, but be transformed
into q boon for the owners Of the low
lands Of the Sacramento valley.
The plan is to carry the sediment OF
the mines in pipes down from the noun
tains to the tule lands. where 1t would
be spread out over the country. The
water, after depositing the sediment,
would be turned back into>th river.
Acting under instructions Of the re-
cent convention of the recent Miners
association, President Neff and Secre-
tary Sonntag today appointed the fol-
lowing committee to urge the construc-
tion of retaining dams: Ex-Congress-
man Caminetti. George H. Tenbroeck,
John Spaulding, J. NJ. Walling. A. M.
Mcdonald, J. F. Cowdery, Louis Con-
rain, y. M. OledVeS, w. II. OuHcdn SI''
George c. Sargent, s. p. Lunt. A. T..
White and Mark B. Kerr.
The sum of 100000 Is now available
for building dams to prevent the debris
from hydraulic mines from obstructing
navigable streams Of the state, partic-
ularly the Sacramento river. The United
States engineers have not yet selected
sites for the proposed dams and 1t is to
expedite this work that the committee
has been appointed. When the proposed
dams are constructed it is expected that
hydraulic mining will again be resumed
on large scale.

The Oficial Count Necessary to a
Decision


DENVER, Col, Nov. 3-The result Of
yesterdays election in this state is still
in doubt so far as justice Of the supreme
court is concerned, and it will take the
official canvass to decide who has won.
The Times, which supported Hayt, can
didate of the Republicans and Silver
Republicans, claims his election by less
than 1000. Returns and estimates so far
received show Hayt SO votes in the lead.
The counties yet to be heard from are
divided and some doubtful. The chair
men of the Populist and Democratic
parties claim that full returns will give
their candidate, Gabbert, from 1000 to
1900 majority.
In this (Arapahoe) county the entire
Silver Republican ticket was successful
except Borstda for sheriff. The Repub-
licans claim his election. but the vote
between him and Webb, Civic Federation
candidate, is so close that the official
figures will be necessary to decide it..
The county gave Hayt, for supreme
Judge, majority of about 5000. This is
a little more than was received by any
of the candidates for county offices.
In all the most populous counties the
Silver Republicans claim victory. In
Pueblo county their majorities range
from 300 to 1900. In El Paso and Lake
counties the majorities have about the
same range. From returns now in it
appears that Hayt and Gabbert each
carry the same number of counties.
The vote of the Republican (adminis
tration party in this county was quite
a surprise to many, reaching nearly
5000 in total of $4,000. The leaders of
the party claim that their vote for Hayt
was far in excess of that for their coun-
ty ticket, the voters realizing the i'm
possibility of electing the latter.

ARCTIC wHALERs
The Fleet Il still in Danger Of
Destruction


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. B. The
whaling steamer Alexander arrived here
today from Point Barrow and reports
that she left Herschel island August
Goth last, where the whalers Grampus,
Fearless. Orca, Newport, Jeanie, Belve-
dere and Wanderer were hemmed in by
the ice, with little or no chance for es-
cape, although none Of them had suffi-
cient provisions to carry the crew
through the winter. Captain Tilton ex-
pressed grave fears for the safety of
the fleet which he left on the ice, as all
OF the vessels were in very precarious
conditions. The Alexander had terri
BILE experience bucking through the foes
by which she was surrounded off Cape
Smith, the ice being so soAdly packed
that it took the vessel, with a full head
of steam on, over eighteen hours to cut
her way through it for distance of four
ships lengths to open water. She was
again surrounded off Sea Horse island
but on September 18th northwest wind
moved the pack sufficiently to free her.
The California has arrived from Ok
hotsk sea with a catch of seven and one
half whales that yielded S40O pounds of
bone and 1880 barrels Of oil. The Cali
fornia and the Horatio caught one whale
between them and the two boats divided
it. The Horatio, when the California
left the Okhotsk sea, had only the half
of the whale the California divided with
her.

IOWA
The Republican Majority Cut Down
One Half


DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 3.-The re-
turns by counties are nearly all in now.
Chairman Mcmillan of the Republican
state committee has complete returns
from ninety-four counties and estimates
from the five remaining counties, and
figures plurality for Shaw, Republic
an, of about 31,7S2. He thinks that these
figures will vary but little from the
corrected returns from the five esti-
mates counties coming in. The plural
ity may be set down as above 81 900 and
below 200O. Chairman Walsh of the
Democratic state committee has given
out no formal statement He thinks
that the later returns may reduce the
plurality of Shaw to 100000
The Republican plurality last year
was 65,552, and according to Republican
estimates it is therefore just cut in two
Two years ago it was $4,000 for Drake
Tor governor. Then the Populists had
a separate ticket. If the Populist vote
be subtracted the Republicans would
have a larger plurality this year than
two years ago. The Legislature is safe
ly Republican. The senate has fifty
members, of which thirty-e eight are Re-
publicans and twelve Populists and
Democrats. The house has 100 men,
bers, of whom the Republicans have
elected sixty-one and the Populists and
Democrats thirty-nine.
These figures are subject to slight al
terations, probably to the advantage of
the Democrats.
The Republicans lost four members of
the senate and seventeen in the house,
compared with the last legislature,
which was overwhelmingly Republican.

THE SIERRA ROAD
THE GAS TRUST
Only the Beginning Of the Monopoly
Program

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Times
says: The Incorporation Of the
New Amsterdam Gas company,
with capital stock Of $23.000,00o. of
which s10000,G GOO is to be preferred
stock, is not unnatural sequal to the
recent consolidation Of the Equitable
and the New York and East River gas
companies. It's creation Is accepted as
an indication that within six months sll
the gas companies of Greater New York
will be united.
All the gas for the consolidated mu-
inequalities, except the borough of Rich
mond, may before long be made at
Ravenswood, Long Island, where are
now the works of the New York and
East River Gas Company. which con-
trolls the gas tunnel under the East
river to this city. The list of directors
given in the certificate of incorporation
of the New Amsterdam Gas Company
is not regarded as indicating on it's face
the real nature Of the financial backing
of the company. New directors will
probably be chosen when it enters act
lively on it's proposed operations and the
officers then chosen will show who are
in actual control Of the corporation.

morning returns indicate that the Re-
publicans will still control the Assem-
bly,. although by a largely decreased
majority.
More surprising, perhaps, than the re-
turns on the State and Assembly dis
trict tickets, were the results of the
municipal campaigns in the large cities.
New York, Buffalo. Rochester, Bing-
hamton, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Troy
and Schenectady elected Democratic
Mayors. In Albany, the conditions were
very similar to those in New York. Two
Republican candidates split up the vote
of that party and allowed the Demo-
Gratis to win. The combined Republi-
can vote was 1000 in excess of the Demo-
cratic vote. In Buffalo and Rochester,
Republican success was thought to be
almost sure prior to the election.

Peruvian Politics

LIMA, Peru, via Galveston, Nov. g.
Pierola has not yet accepted the resig-
nation of the Cabinet which was ten
dered last week on account of the vote
of censure which the Congress proposed
to pass upon the government because
of it's failure to promulgate various
measures passed by the special session
of Congress last year.
The exact reason for the Presidents
delay in accepting the resignation has
not yet been made public, but it prob
ably is due to an accusation brought
against the Minister of Finance of ille-
gally disposing Of funds which unde,
the law should have been applied in the
