Special Dispatch to THE CALL

SpeClal DlSpatCh 10 1HE CALL
FRESNO, Nov 3.-James Leighton, a
we!l-known citizen of Fresno and part
owner of the Excelsior stable, has left the
city with his former vile, Mrs. Alice
leighton. They left last Saturday for the
north, presum bly, to seek the high seas
or some other State where the bonds OF
matrim ony that were severed by the court
a few weeks ago may be reunited. Within
the past three months they had separat ted
and become reconciIed again no less than
three times. Finally Mrs. Leighto sued
for a divorce. The husband wss willing
that she should have it and allowed judg-
ment to be taken against him by default
The love between the man and woman,
who had lived together for over twenty
years, was not to be dissipated so easily,
Sh ortly after the divorce Leighton pro-
ceeded 20 lay siege to the heart OF his
former wife again. Experience had taught
him how to wage his SUIT successfully and
he won.
Then that trou blesome law passed by
the last legislature prohibiting divorced
persons nom marrying again within a
year presented itself in their way. 1t was
10 overcome this law that the tiance and
his bride-eect left Fresno. Whither they
have gone Is unknown and nothing has
been heard from them as yet. 1t is
thought that they went 10 Nevada to get
married.

will have a ma aiority of in the Senate
and the r publcans of in the 4 ouse.
The fusionists from Cincinnati are all
counted as Democratic. The Republicans
can organize the House without them.
Senator Voight is the only one OF the four
Senators elected on the fusion ticket in
Cincinnati who is Republican, and he
now becomes a factor. If Senator Voight
should vote with the Republicans on the
organ izatlon of the Senate, or anything
else, the vote would be tie, with the
Republican Lieutenant-Gover having
the deciding vote.
The Republicans now expect two more
of the fusion Republicans to vote with
them for Senator, in which event they
claim aiority of on joint ballot,
with II Republicans and Us Democrats.
When it was thought to-day that control
of the Legislature might depend on one
vote there was epprehe nsi on of trouble in
some counties. Emissaries were sent out
from State headquarters to close counties
to watch the counting. The Ohio law
provides that mot less than one nor more
than five days from the date OF election
the deputy State supervisors in each
county shall begin the official canvass OF
the vote. and continue from day to day
until completed"
In the event of protracted contests in
the close counties the suspense OF to-day
might have continued un:il the Leg isla-
ture met next January.
Since the change of the claims at Demo-
cratic State headquarters on the COM
pIexion of the Legislature. two i'm mportant
rumors have been vigorously circulated.
One is that John R. Mclean will be
pressed by the Ohio Democracy for the
Dem ocratic nomination for President in
1900, and the other is that Senator Hanna
will have opposition in his own party for
election to the Senate. 1t is claimed by
those advocatin, Mclean for the Presi-
denial nomination that he deserves it for
the reduction OF the Repub blican plurality
to less than half of what it was last year,
and of the Republican majority in the
Legislature from so on Joint ballot 10 5.
And the Democrats claim that the ma ior-
ity on joint ballot would be 5 the other
way if they had an equal chance on con-
tests. There are tbirty-six mem bers of
the Stale Senate and there are only one or
two of the Senatorial districts that are so
close or doubtful as to admit of contests
on which Republican Senators could be
unseated.
On the other hand there are 1o9 mem
bers of the House. in which the Republi-
cans claim majority OF seven, while the
Democrats have a majority OF two in the
Senate. And there are several counties
so close on the vote for representatives
that several seats could be changed in
that body. In the settlement OF contested
seats the Republicans would have such an
advantage in the House over the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate that it is not likely

NOT DEPRESSING
TO REPUBLICANS.
Expected a Slump, and II
Might Have Been Very
Much Worse,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-A conserva-
tive non-partisan v.ew of the election
taken by a great many people is that the
result is not direct slap at the admins
tration nor a vote of lack Of confluence
in the Republican party, but largely the
result of machine m manipulation and boss
ism. The opinion is expressed that the
administration is involved in the defeat
no further than it became associated with
the machine in certain localities where
there was a revolt. 1t is not conceded
that any popular repudiation of Re-
publican principles is Indicated.
Secretary Sherman arrived in Wash
ington early this morning and was at hi,
desk busy with the affairs of state, look
ing as fresh as if he hai not voted yeste.-
day at Mansfield, Ohio, ana made the
long trip back to Washington over night.
The Secretary had not received any pri-
vate advices from Ohio, but said that he
was satisfied from the condition of affairs
as known 10 him last night that the Re-
publicans had carried the State ticket and
the Legislature as we'll, insuring a Re-
publican Senator as successor to Mr..
Hanna.
Senator Carter of Mont tana said that he
did not regard the result of the election
as depressing to Republicans. They ex-
pected slump in the elections following
a Presidential election, and di d not regard
the slump in this instance as bad one.
1t misht be very much worse, he said,
without being very depressing He did
not think that the administration had
been rebuked or that the people of the
country had changed their minds as to

KANSAS LINES UP
WITH THE GUARD.
1t Is a Clean Sweep in the
Home of Jerry Simpson.

TOPEKA, Nov 3-At late hour to-
night the returns from Tuesdays election
in Kansas are still very incomplete. The
indications are that the Republicans have
elected eight of the thirteen D stric:
Judge. voted for. Republicans claim to
have elected ten OF the Judges and they
concede three to the fusionists. On the
other hand the fusionists claim 10 have
been successful in eight of the judicial
districts but no figures are given out. In
com plete and unofficial returns from
ninety of the 105 counties of the State
would indicate Republican victories in
almost half the county elections. Thes
returns show that in forty nine counties
the Repu blicans have elected all or nearly
all their candidates for county officers.
In fourteen counties the fusionists have
elected all or nearly all of their candi-
dates. In twentysiX counties the offices
are about evenly divided between the
fusionists and the Republicans. In one
county straight Democratic ticket was
elected. However. Taylor Riddle. chair
man OF the Populist State organization,
issued statement tonight in which ne
shows that the returns have increased
the mum ber of Populist office folders from
1874 10 $50. and possibly 375.
in Barber County, the home of Jerry
Simpson, the Republicans scored a clean
sweep.

From the sth to the 18th we worked against

Steam was on at full pressure and we COM

On Septem Der Il the Alexander got clear

says:
The feet we left in the ice has lot enough

Albert Walters, one of the crew of the
