An Aftermath Of the War.

(New York Correspondent Philadelphia
Press)
Yesterday morning an athletic. hand
some young man who had served with
credit as a member Of Troop a, the
crack military organization OF this city
throughout the Porto Rico campaign,
was instantly killed by a pistol-shot dis
charged by his own hand.
The case is a very sad one, and IS pc
culiar for two reasons. The young man
had been cashier in one of the greatest
OF New YOrks commercial houses and
had obtained the entire confidence OF his
employers His father the late David
NJ Hildreth, is known all over the
United States by reason Of his promi-
nence as a hotel man.
Young Hildreth Is the only one or
Troop 4 who has died by reason Of SER
vice in the tropics. The squadron came
home in excellent health. some OF the
men in better condition than when they
went away They observed with great
care sanitary rules, and their experience
had been such as TO prove that even IN
the tropics unaccustomed soldiers can
maintain good health IL they observe
hycienic rules
Young Hildreth however got the seeds
of malarial poison in his system, and al
though he returned 10 his employment
as cashier. he suffered much physically
and mentally. When a semi-delirious con-
ditiOn was upon him, he seemed 10 De

A pistol shot was heard IN his room,
and ne was found dead. the ball having

ity. that the Newport News Ship-Building

more than the bid rendered by the local

the three companies Newport News,
Cramps, and Union -WOrks-will be
S2SSj.O00, and the San Francisco firm Will
be allowed 3 per cent. for transportation
of material from the East.
1t is understood that this step was de-
cided upon in view Of the fact that the
plans for the Maine, Missouri. and OHIO

price for each ship.

IL Was Il Surprise.

NORFOLK, VA, October 29.-(Speclal)
The appointment Of receiver for the
Portsmouth and Port Norfolk Electric
Railway Company was a genuine surprise
in railway circles here. where the sale
OF the line to a company Of wealthy
northern railway men was mOmentarlly
exnectod at the very time when word
came that Judge Edmund Waddill, Of the
limited States Court for the Eastern lis
trlct OF virginia, had appointed Mr. b.
watkins Leigh receiver OF the company.
THE action was taken on application or
the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com
many. of Baltimore, trustees under a
rnortgage given by the company, and VI.
y Decker. OF New Jersey. who had fur-
rished supplies 10 the road. The newly
appointed receiver is cashier Of the Cl;y
National Bank. of Norfolk, and expects
to get the road in proper shape speedHy.

EXCITEMENT THROUGHOUT THE
STATE Is VERY INTENSE.
DEMOCRATS WILL WIN THE VICTORY.
They VIII Elect n Majority of Mem
bers of the Legislature and Their
Whole Judicial Ticket-The People
Thoroughly Aroused.

WILMINGTON, N. c., October %
(Special) 1.-The political situation in
North Carolina may be summed up in a
few words.
The Democrats will carry the State, and
will elect their whole judicial ticket, and
will elect a majority in both houses OF
the Legislature.
The Democrats will probably elect four.
and possibly five. Of the seven straight
Democratic candidates for Congress.
In one district the Democrats have in
dorsed Atwater straight PoDulisO and
they have made no nomination in the dis
trict now represented by the negro.
White.
Excitement throughout the State is in
tense and It is more than likely there will
be minor disturbances in some Of the
eastern counties on the day Of the cleo
ton.

TWO SIRE TIL INGS.-IF YOU BELIEVE BOTH.

for Judge Rhea during the past week, ana
their effect will be seen on election-day.
He has greatly aroused the Democrats.
When the campaign opened the Demo
Gratis were doubtful Of Judge Rhea's cleo
ton. Six weeks ago they thought he
would pull through by probably 500 a
month ago they felt certain Of his cleo
ton by 100 majority. To-day they are
claiming he will be elected by majority
Of 2.oO0 Indications are that he will re-
celve this much.
QUARLES WILL BE ELECTED.
In the Tenth District Judge Quarles
will. his friends think, certainly be elect
ed. He and his friends have worked hard
and sklfully.
Colonel HUBBARD has not conducted an
aggressive campaign, and he has been
hindered by the Yost people, who unanl-
mously vote him IN. g." Mr.. Iost has
worked right hard for Republican nomi-
nees in other districts, but Colonel Hu-
bard owes him nothing.
There IS great Republican apathy I'm the
Tenth. greater than in any other district
i'm the State. So, between the work done
by Judge Quarles ana his friends, the
quarrels Of Republicans, and their lack OF
interest Democratic success Is thought
TO be beyond question.
WALKOVER EVERYWHERE ELSE.
There is nothing resembling a contest in
the other six districts.
In the First Mr.. Jones will be elected
practically without opposition. There is
a Republican candidate. but he is making
no fight Of any consequence
In the Fifth Dir. Swanson will receive
a larger majority Than was given him in
1896
In 1896. when one candidate was run
ming against him. Major Otey received a
majority of about 5000. This year there
are two candidates against him-Heer-
mans, a white Republican, and Butler, a
negro 1t would not surprise anybody II
Major Otey is returned by $500 plurality.
Congressman Hay will be reelected by
an immense majority in the Seventh. Mr..
D. G. OFlaherty. a gold Democrat, Is
making what a Democrat from that dis
trict recently called a sort of a campaign,
but as there were only 359 gold Demo-
cratic votes cast in the district in 1895. it
is seen that he cannot hope TO do any
great things. though many Republicans
will vote for him.
In the Eighth Mr.. RiXey has only noni-
nal opposition. He viii receive an i'm
mense majority
Ten Democratic congressman from Nlr-
ginia-a Democratic prediction and almost
4 Republican concession.

The wild dog, uninfuenced at all by
association with man, is typical OF
nothing but the wolf, and in the cir
cumpolar ice he is found in numbers
rowing over the fields of snow and ice,
frequentlyin companywith the wolves.
The EslSimos have taken these wild
creatures, and by rude process OF Sc
lection and training they have devel-
oped the "huskie," coIloquial abbre-
Walton OF the word Eskimo. These
enimals represent a type Of dog but
little removed from the wolf-hardy,
vicious, swift Of foot, and keen of eye.
They have been trained to haul sledge
