indianapolis. Ind. Oct. 12.-Thomas
Taggart (dem). defeated W. N. Harding
(rep.). for mayor by a plurality that will
reach 5000. The republicans gave up
the fight early in the evening, conced-
ing a democratic victory OF from 5000
TO 5000. At 1 o'clock 120 precincts out
of a total Of 1876 gave Taggart a plural
lily o; 300. II this ratio keeps up the
official count will show q clear plural-
ity for Mayor Taggart Of 5000. The rest
o; the ticket, including six councilmen
at large. is elected by from $500 to L..
900. OF the ward councilmen, the re-
publicans will elect probably not more
chan four out OF is.
Mayor Taggart was deluged with tele>
grams tonight from all over the co0n,
try. He is freely spoken OF as the mex,
democratic candidate fr governor. He
was elected on a silver platform.
1t Is hard to figure gains and losses
on account Of the recent changes in pre-.
cinct boundaries. Ex-President Harri.
sons precinct shows a large democratic
gain. in fact the democrats made heavy
gains In republican stronxhoads.

Two Ladies OF Camden Shot and Killed
atan Early Hour.

Camden, N. j., Oct. 12.-Mrs. Emma
Vane, aged IS years, widow OF Captain
Eli Vane. and her daughter, Mrs. Sarah
NJ. Shaw, aged 40 years. were shot and
killed early this morning, 1t is believed.
ty burglars. Mrs. Vane was Instantly
killed and Mrs. Shaw expired in less
;lan half an hour without recovering
consciousness.
The two women lived at 242 Lynn
street. in the lower part of Camden. near
the river front. 1t was about 4:30 o'clock
when the attention OF the police was
called to the crime. Eli Shaw, a son OF
Mrs. Shaw, vas seen at a third-story
window CT the house and was shouting
For the police at the top Of his voice.
The young man has been laid up with
typhoid fever and in a statement to the
police said that she was awakened short
" after 4 o'clock by a pistol shot. He
made his way down stairs and at the bot
tom ot the third story stair found his
mother bleeding and unconscious. He
ran to til" window and gave the alarm.
When the police entered the house
they found the mother OF Mrs. Shaw sit
ting in a chair in the sitting-room dead,
with a bullet wound in her head. Mrs.
Shaw was at once removed to the Cooper
hospital, where she died in a few min.
uses without making any statement.
The shock incident to the tragedy has
caused a relapse in the condition Of Mrs.
Shaw's son, which it Is feared will result
fatally. An examination OF the house
Shaved that a real shutter had been
forced open and a bureau drawer on the
second floor had been ransackei.

BLESSING TO THE BABIES Op
THE POOR-AN ENTERPRISE
THAT SHOULD BE FOS-
TERED.

The prospect is very encouraging that
the distribution Of pasteurized milk, de-
void OF all microbic germs, among the
children OF the poor at a nominal price,
will become general in the large cities
of the United States. While this benev,
olence will be a blessing to the babies,
oar adult population enjoy an equally
great n in the benefit conferred by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon per-
sons afflicted with kidney and bladder
complaint. Danger from Bright's dis
ease and diabetes is surely averted by
this admirable malarial fever and rheu-
matism, and a thorough remedy for dys.
pepsia, constipation. liver complaint and
nervousness. Diseases, insignificant at
the outset, enlarge their proportions
and capacity for destruction through
neglect. Another point Of Importance
in using this sterling remedy is, that 1t
should be taken with regularity and per-
sistence.

showing through the clouds, and the
promise is not bright for an immediate
r%eopening OF the n OF industry.
Daylight had hardly come this morn
ing before two deaths had been an
nounced. but -no-other fatalities had
gone down on the books when nigh,
fell. The cases today are. as usual,
widely scattered, and have, increased
somewhat the total number Of cases un-
der treatment, but at the same time
there have been a large number OF cases
discharged today, and the death per,
centage has suffered j fall.
The official bulletin issued by the
board OF health tonight shows IS new
cases and the following deaths:
Joseph Collette.
Allen Giles.
There has been for some time q gen
erai impression that the fever was con-
fined solely to the houses OF the poor.
But it has likewise found its way into
the houses Of the rich, and there were
handsome mansions today on Jackson
avenue and other fine residence thor
oughfares from which the ugly red and
yellow flags hung. OF the new cases in,
cluded in the bulletin tonight those o:
Mrs. Hunter c. Leake, wife Of the gen
eral agent Of the Illinois Central rail-
way, Of James R. Anderson, a promi.
nent supply agent. representing eastern
houses, and Of Mrs. Eakin, wife OF the
superintendent Of the Standard Oil com
pany. are said to be O: a somewhat mild
type.
These are the most prominent cases
reported today.

VOTE IN OTHER STATES

There is no doubt of Tammany victory
in Greater New York, and it is only ques-
ton Of what majority Van Wyck will have.
Low is running second, with Tracy bad
third. The rest OF the Tammany ticket
has been equally successful.
In Ohio the democrats have apparently
carried the state and legislature. Chap
man, democrat. has been elected governor
by the returns so far received, and If the
returns from Hamilton county are sup
ported throughout the state a democrat
will succeed Mr.. Hanna in the Senate.
The large number of cut tickets makes
the count Of voters slow in Maryland, but
present returns point to the election of Nal
ster (rep.) as mayor Of Baltimore. The
legislature is in doubt, with the indica-
ticns pointing toward "a democratic VIC
tory.
In Massac achusetts-Walcott (republican)
has been reelected governor by about 1OO,-
