The Ohio Election

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 31.-In reply to
a question in regard to the probable re-
suits of the elections next Tuesday
Judge Nash tonight said: II have care
fully considered and examined the re-
suits Of the polling Of the state made
by the various committees, together with
the estimates Of the chairmen as to the
results in their counties. Independent Of
the polling, and am satisfied that the
coming election will result in victory
for the Republicans, not only on the
state ticket, but in regard to the general
assembly. During the last ten days the
Republicans have shown great activity,
and the danger from apathy, which
seemed to exist for a time, has passed
away. I believe the total vote of the
state will be as large, If not larger, than
1t was in 1895. The Republican state
committee approaches the election with
entire confidence in a complete victory. +"
CINCINNATI-There were many bets
taken here last night and today on the
result Of the election. The betting was
limited to Ohio. Odds were given on
the Republican state ticket. but the Of

Edward Sweeney Walked
in Front of a Car
SANG HIS LAST JOLLY TUNE
MOTORMAN AND CONDUCTOR AP-
PARENTLY NOT TO BLAME
Car Was Not Travelling at a Speed of
More Than Six or Seven
Miles an Hour

Edward Sweeney, a man about IS
years old, was struck by a Traction
company car at Third and San Pedro
streets last night and will almost GER
tainly die from his injuries. He was al
lowed to lie in the street, alongside Of
the car which knocked him down, for
about fifteen minutes. The patrol wag-
on then arrived from the police station
and he was removed to the receiving
hospital.
An examination by Police Surgeon
Hagan showed that the old mans right
shoulder blade was broken, his right ear
almost torn from his head and many of
the bones on the right side of his body
crushed and fractured. On the right
side of his head was laceration of the
scalp about five inches long, extending
backward. Under the laceration the
scalp was lifted from the skull for a
circular space of about ten inches di-
ameter. The space was filled with
blood and dirt. Sweeney's clothes were
torn and covered with dirt. He was de-
lirious from pain and was unable to tell
anything of himself except that his
name was Edward Sweeney. Surgeon
Hagan then identified the injured man
as former patient in the county hos
pital, when he was house surgeon there.
At that time he was a pauper and was
a proper subject for the poor farm but
was kept at the hospital because he
suffered with some trivial complaint.
According to statements secured from
]. A. Wakefield of 1914 Girard street
and Richard G. Doyle Of 937 Girard
street, respectively motorman and con-
ductor Of car No. 116, which ran into the
old man, Sweeney was walking south on
the west side of San Pedro street and.
as he crossed Third street, car No. 116
was approaching San Pedro street on it's
way east, on the right or south track.
Wakefield rang his bell and threw on
his brake, but did not reverse the cur
rent, because, as he says. he did not
have time. Sweeney did not pay any
attention, but continued on his way,
singing in jolly sort of way to himself.
When he reached the middle Lf the track
upon which the car was running he
stopped and the next moment he was
knocked down and dragged by the car
about forty feet.
Wakefield willingly accompanied
Detective Bradish to the police station
but was permitted to go on his promise
to appear at the station at $3.50 o'clock
this morning.
Doyle is an old employee of the Trac-
ton company, but Wakefield is a new
man. He has been running regularly
only about week.
Both Wakefield and Doyle say that the
car was not running at the rate Of over
six or seven miles an hour.
