 jority on Joint Ballot
 Connecticut's election yesterday re- suited exactly as forecasted, and com plete returns from all of the 16S towns in the State show a substantial Repub- lican victory, in which the State ticket, headed by George c. Lounsbury of Ridgefield for governor, received ma jorities of about 11,000; four Republi- can congressman, all present incum- bents, were returned; a general assem- bly, with a Republican majority of about 120, and Republican sheriffs in all of the eight counties chosen
 Comparison of the gubernatorial vote of this year with that of 1896 shows that the Republican majorities of 50,000 in the presidential year were greatly reduced. In the congressional districts three Republicans were returned with ease, while in the Second district, which had been considered doubtful MT. Sperry, Republican, contradicted pre- dictions and won over James H. Webb, his rival, by over 5000. The day passed quietly and with no disorder at the polls or elsewhere. Remarkably fine weather brought out vote which was vastly larger than the leaders had eX- pected,

ROOSETELT RECEITES THE NEVIS. Notified of His Victory by Telegram
 From Chairman OdeIl.

Oyster Bay, Nov. S.-Colonel Roose- welt was notified of his victory by a telegram from Chairman Odell of the republican state committee saying that he had been elected governor by from 30, 900 to 40,000 plurality. Colonel Roose- welt was at his house in Cove Neck, sur rounded by his family and some friends. After arriving home during the after noon from the city he spent the evening quietly waiting for the returns to come in. News reached the telephone office in Oyster Bay before the dispatches from New York were sent to Colonel Roosevelt's house.. A party of newspa- per men, as soon as the first informa- ton came that he had been elected, drove to his house and informed him that he was to be the next governor of New York state. MT. Roosevelt was asked to make a statement outlining his future plans, but he laughingly re- piled that he wanted to be first sure that he had been elected and did not care to say much until he received the official news from the state committee that he was elected. Colonel Roosevelt was congratulated by those present and during the night and up to the time the telegraph office closed there was flood of congratulatory telegrams for the successful candidate.

MURDER AT THE POLLS.
Race Riot in South Carolina-Negroes
 MOrtnIlK MOunded.

Charleston, S. C., Nov. S.-A special to the News and Courier from Green wood, S. C., says: Intense excitement prevailed here all day because of the shooting of Boss" Ethridge, one of the election judges at Phoenix, and subsequent riot between the whites and blacks at that place, in which T. P. Tolbert and several negroes were mor- tally wounded. The negroes had a sep rarete box in charge of Tolbert in which those who could not vote in the regular boxes could deposit certificates that they were not allowed to vote for R. R. Tolbert for congress, which cer- tificates he expected to use in his con- test for Latimer's seat. MT. Ethridge attempted to take charge of the box and was hot dead by one of the ne- groes; who were crowding around it. Immediately the few white men who could procure arms or had them open ed fire on the crowd. The whites, sev- eral hundred strong, are well armed and determined, and if the leaders in to-day's trouble are caught tonight no power on earth can save them from lynching. Tonight everything is quiet at Phoenix, with the whites masters of the situation, but hte negroes are sup posed to be congregating about two miles distant and no one can conjecture what the night will bring forth. Late this evening John R. Tolbert was dan gerously wounded, and his little nephew, son of E l. Tolbert, who was in the buggy with him, was instantly killed while on their way home. While a party of white men from Greenwood were returning from Phoenix tonight they were fired on from ambush and NJ J. Younger, Creswell Fleming and MT. Miller were badly wounded

New York, Nov. 9.-Returns received in the Associated Press office in the city from all over the country up to 12:30 this Wednesday, morning indi- cate that s5 republicans and 109 demo- crats have certainly been elected to seats in the national house of represen- tatives. The same districts two years ago returned to the lower house of congress 1O5 republicans and S9 demo- crats. Based solely upon the estimates in these districts, republican loss of twenty and a democratic gain of twen- ty is indicated. These estimatmes con- cede to the democrats all of the con- gressional districts in Greater New York except one, the Fifteenth. Allow ing the populists twenty-five represen- tatives, which number they now have, the republicans will have a small work ing majority.

and as the darkness grew, the water

until il felt as though all the waters of

of a great Egyptian harp:

MINT FARMING PAYS.
1t Enables One Woman to Live In
Glover.

The suburban woman has hit upon
new and pleasant method of adding to
her store of pocket money. This is by
means of the mint farm-an idea which
originated in New Orleans. and has
spread rapidly to Northern and Western
cities.
"a lady of my acquaintance recently
started mint farm near Flushing. L.
L." said Manager BoIdt. of the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel. New York. "and she has
made of it a really remarkable success
All the chief hotels and restaurants OF
New York and Brooklyn are on her list
of customers: and while the growing OF
her mint fnterferes but very slightly with
ordinary household duties, its sale proves
highly profitable OF course her prtnci-
pal trade is during the summer months
Then she does a rushing business Last
season most of the big hotels bought each
from $3.50 to S5.25 worth of mint every
day from her farm. So much money hd
she clear that she was enabled 10 live In
luxury all through the cold weather. be-
sides laying by 4 comfortable sum Tor
rainy days.
The mint farm is carefully cultivated.
All runners are removed. and each sprig
grows erect. For about s., or even less.
enough plants of the spearmint (bOtani-
cal name mentha viridis) may be OBJ
tanned from any nurseryman to start
fair-sized mint bed. The soil should be
somewhat sandy. and in the Northern
States. it is we'll TO choose spot pro-
tected from the wind. and with as much
sunlight as possible. Mint needs plenty
of sun Beyond keeping it free from
runners and weeds the mint bed calls
for little attention.
"A light wagon which can make the
rounds of the hotels and restaurants
early each morning is all that is neees-
sary for the distribution of the aromatic
plant 1t is possible. also. to grow the

/ of different sorts
"A New Orleans woman who possess
I ed a farm near the fair grounds, was L
am told. the pioneer mint-cultivator OF
I her sex. The pursuit is by no means
/ crowded one, and there are enough ho-
! tells and cafes in Greater New York alone
/ TO keep several mint farms going.
