THE ACTUAL RESULT.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The actual result OF the re.
cent State and Congressional
elections, therefore is to leave the
national issues precisely where they
we're before, and to give to the Demo.
Gratis a more substantial unity than
they had before, and occupy actually
a stronger position. This position is
made all the stronger by reason of the
fact that the Republicans will have
absolute control OF legislation when
the new Congress meets, and will have
to face the responsibility OF legisla-
tion; and the position OF the Demo-
Gratis will be still stronger II the Re-
publicanS undertake, as they are pref
ty sure to do. to substitute bank notes
for the legal tender currency Of the
government. Every plan OF currency
reform the Republicans have as yet
put forward, with any prospect OF in
dorsement, contemplates the erection
OF q bank monopoly and the placing
OF the peoples money under its con.
troll, with power to contract or expand
u at the will and pleasure Of the
banks.
On the other hand, the Democratic
platform still expresses the homes,

Leaped 10 Their Death.

New YORK, Dec. 90 One woman
was killed, one burned to death, and
another SO severely injured that she
cannot recover as the result of fire at
the mansion of @. e. Raymond, general
agent of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, on west Seventy-third street,
early this morning. The dead are Mrs.
Underwood, OF Evansville, Ohio. who
was visiting Mrs. Raymond, her sister,
and Margaret Fee, servant. The fire
started at 7 o'clock in the basement.
and the flames spread so quickly that
the persons on the upper floors had no
chance to escape. VIM. Doer, con-
ductor on the Broadway cable road,
jumped from his car when he saw the
imperilled woman at the second story
window and Selling ladder began
mounting the front Of the house.
! Don't Jump" cried Doer, to the wo-
men, but the cracking of the hames
was more powerful voice and finally
with despairing shrek Mrs. Under
wood cast herself down. Her head
struck the sidewalk and she died in
stantly. Then Mrs Raymond followed
and as she tell she struck Doer on the
head hurting him to the area below.
His head struck the pavement and his
skull was fractured. 1t is believed he
cannot live. Mrs. Raymond struck
the sidewalk apd was picked up un-
conscious. Mr.. Raymond was carried
from the house unconscious from smoke.
The body of Mrs. Fec was found burned
to crisp in her room on the third floor
of the house. The handsome mansion
was Quilted from top to bottom. A
superb collection of pictures and tapes
tries owned by MIR. Raymond, was en-
tirely destroyed.
It is believed that the fire had been
burning for fully half al hour before it
was discovered. Mrs. Fee lost her life
while trying to save Mrs. Raymond
She was out of danger at one time but
ran back into the house to assist Mrs.
Raymond to safety. The fire is thought
to have been caused by gas explosion.
