East Nineteenth street. About " O'Clock
a number Of boys had gathered large
number of barrels to build a bonfire on

Shacfer was one of the leaders. Their
activity stimulated the boys on the south

ample.
Some OF the boys on the south side OF
the street We're caught stealing barrels
from the pile on the north side, and Il
series of fights followed. In the midst Of
one Sl,acicr screamed, I'm stabbed"

bc near got an ambulance, in which
Shapfer was sent to Bellevue Hospital,
and then arrested Burger. After he had

OHIO REPUBLICAN.

CoLrMBrS, Ono, My. 3.-Governo
Bushnell has carried Ohio bv 10000 to

by probably six votes on Joint ballot.
This does not necessarily mean the elec-
ton of Mark Hanna to the United States
Senate, as the few Independent or For
aker Republican votes, combined with
the Democratic vote, would defeat Hanna.
Such combine against Hanna is already
forming. There is an alleged movement
which is causing much comment, and
it is rumolpd that Governor Bushnell
will be brought out for Senator against
Marcus A. Hanna. Allen O. Movers,
one Of the managers ut Democratic state
headquarters announced tonight that
Senator Hanna would hever be elected to
the Senate On the close joint majority
that is claimed, although, Hanna had
been indorsed for senator by the last Re-
publican state convention.

American whiskey last night, and while
enjoying the effects made things so lively

He finally wound up by assaulting
George Falcon another occupant Of the

Harmonious Meeting
Look ed For.

/ DOVER, Nov 3.-Thc Union Rcpub
lican State Central Committee has been
in session here to-day and has com.
pletcd the roll Of delegates to the
morrow. All the members are rcticent
us to the probable business to be trans
acted, but it is said that the new provis-
ions for nominating members OF the
General Assembly will be the chief sub
ject for consideration. This provision
requires the nominations to be made
district by district, and SO completely
alters the style Of nominations which
formerly were made by counties. What,
if any other business, will be considered
has not becd learned.
Delegates are already beginning to ar
rive, and the membership from Kent and
Sussex counties promises to be complete
and earnest. So far as could be learned
from such delegates as were inclined to
talk, no further Ovcrtures will be made
towards harmonizing the two factions Of
the party in Delaware. Kent and Sus-
sex delegates say that the great majority
of Republicans in those counties have
joined the Union Republicans, who, they
assert, are stronger than ever, despite the
blows administered to them by the Ad-
ministration.
The main subject of ofconversation to-day
was the election in Ohio, and many of
the delegates were inclined to the belief
that the Administration would be forced
to realize that its arbitrary action toward
the most influential factions and members
Of the party in these states, as well as in
Delaware, would result in crippling and
disorganizing the party. The sweeping
Democratic victory in New York City
and the practical loss OF Ohio, it is as
serted by these members should convince
the party managers that the course pur-
sued thus far will be fatal to party in
tercsts.
There are few Regular Republicans in
Kent and Sussex, and these few are not .
in evidence.

He Imposed on Merchant Ephraim
with Forged Check.
On October 23d, Max Ephraim of Fourth
and Market, complained at police head
quarters that countryman had bought
a suit Of clothes at his store, the price of
which was Sll.50. He rendered in pav-
ment check for $50. He left the clothes
saying he would call for them later. Mr.,
Ephraim gave him 50 in change and a
due bill for the balance which he was to
pay when the stranger called for his
clothes. He never called, and Mr.. Eph-
rain growing suspicious, investigated,
and the check was found to be bogus.
From the description given. the authori-
ties were able to make very good guess
as to his indcntity and Chief Dolan is
sued orders to send in Robert McClntock

rain was sent for. and identified him as

Betting upon the result of the elections
in this country has become an Interest.
ing factor in the battle Of ballots. Along
with the growth OF this interesting part
of our voting system is also noted the
evolution of the character Of the wagcrs.
Bctters have now passed the mere
placing Of sums OF money and turned
their attention to entering upon wager
contracts which involve the humhling Of
the parties interested and the sacrifice Of
their time or feelings.
Perhaps the most interesting Of Tie
latter kind yet in the notice Of the pub
lie is the novel bet OF IL Wilmington man,
who said that if the election OF last Tues
day resulted unfavorably to his views,
he would, some night in the near future,
go to his home in that condition which
involves a red nose and atrembliEg voice.
His object in 50 doing was to note the
result on his better half. Can anyone
conjecture the result OF this man $ wager.
Novel election bets are well-known to
Wilmington people, and pedestrians for
several days following an election are
greeted with such scenes us man using
!; crow-bar with which to roll peanut
around the Court House square or n man
usinga toothpick for the same purpose,or
a fellow bowling along in wheel-barrow,
while the man who is wheeling him is
the object OF much goodnatured raillery.
There being no election this year the
usual number of novel bets in this
city is cut down, but the outcome Of the
aforesaid wager Of the Wilmingtonian
will be watched with interest.

A BIG CLAIM,
4 New Castle Man Claims S1Si,OOO
and Interest.

A New Castle Man Claims $1Si,OOO
and Interest.
Patrick Egan of New Castle is said to
have placed in the hands of prominent
Wilmington Attorney claim for SlS4.-
600 with interest from March, 1865,
against the United States Government
The story of the claim is as follows:
Patrick Eagan was, during the war be-
tween the States, u cotton broker and
liquor dealer, doing business under the
firm name of Donnelly & Eagan in the
city of Wilmington, N. c. When the
city was occupied by the Union troops
under General Hayes, cotton to the
amount of 3s4 bales was seized and sent
to New York, where it was sold and the
money turned into the Treasury of the
U. S. A quantity Of liquors was also
seized. Donnelly's claim to his share of
the liquor was awarded him by the
Mixed Commission before whom it was
settled.
Donnclly was fortunate enough to be
Il subject OF Great Britain and recovered
his share Of the value Of the liquors, he
having no claim in the contiscated cot
ton. The case has been up before the
Court of Claims and testimony before it
showed very conclusivcly that no disloy-
al act was ever proven against Mr. E;-
gan; on the contrary lie was listed ,by
the Confederate Authorities as an "ob-
noxious person" and his name appeared
as a Union man whose cotton was order
ed to be burned, but the occupation OF
the place by Union troops prevented the
order from being carried ont. =
The attorney, it is said will receive
half the amount, should the case be de-
cidcd in favor of the plaintiff.

FINAL NEW YORK RETI rms.
Four Year, Of Absolute Rule for Tam
many.

Spccial to TIE SrN.
New YonK. l2.3O Il. H., Nov. t. The
result OF the election in the state and
city ut New York is now known with at =
c,lracy The state went Democratic for
Alton i. Parker for Chief Judge Of the
Court Of Appeals by 2,l4S. The plnral-
ity for Palmer, the Republican Secretary
OF State, was So,7 in 1895, and Cover
nor Blacks plurality last year was p ,m2.
These figures show the extent Of the Re-
lican loss. In greater New York. Van
Wyckc pollcd 1870 votes; Low, l46,-
S2l; Tracy, lO0,oo3; George, 20,3S6; and
Gleason, 1850. Van Wyck's plurality
over Low is sG,o3l, and Lows plurality
over Tracy is Is, ,S23. The combined vote
of Low and Tracy in greater New York
is l4,o67 greater han Van Wyck's vote,
showing that Van Wyck would
have been beaten had the Rcpub-
Leans and Citizens Uuion combined.
The Legislature will probably contain
seventy Platt Republicans, seven anti
Platt Republicans, seventy-one Demo-
Gratis and two Citizens Union men.
This means that unless Platt can win
over some OF the men now opposed 10
him he has lost control, and the friends
of Low hold the balrnce Of power.
In IIerkimer Warner Miller is accused
os knitting the ticket. 4 Democrat was
elected there. The greater New York
delegation in the Legislature will consist
of six,y-onc, on, Of which the Demo
Gratis will most likely have fifty. For
the next four years the Democrats will
conduct the government of Greater New
York, and Richard Croker will be the
ruling force. Mr.. Croker is now abs1-
lutte master Of the situation, and his Will
is law. The vindcation of his judg-
mcnt has given him an authority equal
to that which he possessed when he was
the confessed leader Of the Tammany
