Chairman simmons of North Caro-

Raleigh N. c., Nov. 5.--The Democrats
closed their campaign to-day with large
rallies in nearly every county. There is
great enthusiasm and a universal belief
among Democrats that their judicial tick
ct and majority of both houses of the
state legislature will be elected.
The Republicans are inclined to concede
the lower house, but claim that they will
elect their judicial ticket, at least eight
of the nine Congressman and a majority
of the state senators.
The Republican state chairman, A. f.
HoIton, declined TO make a statement
more specific than this.
The Democratic state chairman, r. NJ.
Simmons, gave out statement this even

branches of the legislature, the House by
a large majority and the Senate by a good

ton that each of these three candidates
Will have heavy vote.
fractional troubles in the Republican
party have been more or less evident for
the past few years, and last year Swallow

though the normal Prohibition vote is only
about 10000 Notwithstanding the claims
made by the Swallow and jerks leaders.

Detroit. Mich, Nov. 5.-The new five
story wonderland theater building is to-
risht in a hopeless looking state of col
,onsa and fifteen or more lives have been
sacriheed by an appalling accident which
occurred there this afternoon.
shortly before 2 o'clock, while some
tbirtv-fve men were at work in various
rsrts of the half-fnished theater portion
or the structure, the roof fell in without
a seconds warnings. Nearly every work.
man was carried down into the theater
pit
The front wall of the building remained
practically intact but the east side wall
hinged and buckled threateningly. Not
uithstanding the latter danger, the work
of rescuing the injured and taking out
be dead was rushed and good progress
was made when at 5:15 the upper portion
of the east wall fell, a shower of bricks
striking around the crowd of laborers,
officers and newspaper men, extinguishing
the temporary electric lights and causing
n stampede for the street Fortunately
none of those who were struck by the
second downfall were seriously injured.
Mayor Maybury and other city officials
who were on the scene Thereupon decided
not to further imperil life in order to re-
cover dead bodies, and work was suspend
ed until tomorrow.
The dead:
AUGUST SALLACH, laborer.
GEORGE w. WHITE, timer.
THEODORE MERTENs. laborer.
MARTIN SHAFTER, painter.
CORNELIUS MARION, lather.
JAMES GEGERSCHKE, laborer.
AUGUST LANDSCHOWsKI laborer.

Two other bodies were discovered in the
debris at the time of the second crash.
The missing:

JACOB LEWEVEN, metal polisher.

Eighteen injured men were taken to varl-
Gus hospitals. OF those injured, two are
not likely to recover.
The cause of the catastrophe has not yet
been definitely settled. It seems TO rest,
however, between too much weight in the
roof and faulty steel beams used In its
construction.
The police have secured a number of the
broken orders to be used as evidence later

SAVED FROM IMPRISONMENT.
PRESIDENT WILL SLICE OFF PART
OF CAPT. CARRIERS SENTENCE.

Dismissal From Army and n Fine OF
$4,000 Likely TO lie Approved by
the President-PIacardin of the
Captain Also EIiminated-Presi-
dent to Announce His Decision Be-
fore Leaving for Canton Monday.
Washington, Nov. s-Although tho
Presidents formal decision in the case
of Capt. Carter has not been promulgat-
ed, the President. it is said, has decided
to approve so much OF the sentence of
the court martial as provides that the
accused shall be dismissed from the serv-
ice and confined to the penitentiary for a
period of five years. and in lieu of inns
prisonment to pay fine of 5000.
The President mltgates the sentence ia
the extent that he saves Capt. Carter
from imprisonment as the captain will
undoubtedly prefer to pay the fine impos-
ed instead of languishing in a military
prison for five years. Then that part OF
the sentence which provides that the sem
tence shall be placarded at the home OF
the accused, is also eliminated.
The friends of Capt Carter up to to-
day hoped and expected that the President
would dsapprove OF the findings Of the
court martial and order a new trial. Their
hopes in that direction were dashed TO the
ground when It was ascertained that the
summing up of the case by Judge Ed-
munds, who was selected as judicial ref
cree In the case. at the instance OF the
friends of the accused, had practically
sustained the findings of the court In his
report.
He discovered a few technical irregu-
larities in the proceedings but they were
not of sufficient weight to upset the de-
cIsion of the court martial. 1t Is said the
President viii formally approve the papers
In the case before he leaves for Canton
next Monday.

HOW VIRGINIA STANDS.
Question as to the Result In Three
Congressional Districts.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 5.-The elections
of Tuesday next are for congressman only,
save that one or two members of the
state Senate and House OF Delegates will
be returned to I'LL the unexpired terms In
the present general assembly. The legis-
lative elections have no significance as a
United States senator win not be elected
until new general assembly shall have
been chosen in November of next year
The congressional campaign has been the
most spiritless in years, except In the
Ninth district, where Rhea, Democrat op-
poses Walker, Republican incumbent, and
in the Tenth district where the candi-
dates are Quarles, Democrat and Hub
bard, Republican. No questions seem to
be raised as to the return of Jones, from
the First; Young, from the Second; Lamb
from the Third; Eppes, from the Fourth; (;
Otey, from the Sixth; Hay, from the
Seventh, and Rixey, from the Eighth dis
tricts. All of these are Democrats
Those in touch with Republican head
quarters, however, claim the Republicans
will carry the Ninth and Tenth districts
and probably the Fifth, in which last nam
ed district Swanson, the Democratic in
cumbent, is opposed by Parr Republican.
Neither side is inclined to give figures.

He Wouldn't Permit Cuban De-
serter to BE Shot.
Santiago, Cuba, Nov. 5.-An incident has
occurred here which is causing much talk
among the Cubans and may create Ill feel
ing. The Cuban general, Perez, recently
ordered the trial by court martial of one
of his men on a charge of deserting from
the army in time of war. The prisoner
was sentenced to death, but before the
sentence was executed notification was
sent to Col. Ray, Third Immune Regiment,
who laid the matter before Gen. Wood,
commander of the military department of
Santiago.
Gen. Perez was at once informed that
If the man was executed he and the firing
party would be hanged as soon as the
courts could legally sentence them. He
was instructed that If man committed
a crime punishable under the civil law
he should be turned over to the proper
authorities, who would look into the case,
but was told that in no circumstances
VIII tribunals like those of the present
msurgent army be allowed to try cases
and sentence prisoners TO death, or even
to Imprisonment.
furthermore, Gen. Perez was notified
that the man now under sentence of death
must be turned over to the American au-
thontles if there was a charge against
nm, or be released.

SuufY Saved His Life.

From the Cornhill Magazine: An
officer Of the Bengal Lancers, who was
seized by a tigress, owed his escape to
a curious accident. The tigress seized
him by the breast Of his coat and shook
him till he became unconscious. On
recovering, he heard a strange noise
at a little distance, as If somebody was
sneezing violently. 1t was the tigress
herself. He slowly turned round and
gave a furtive glance in that direction
He could hardly believe his eyes,
There was the tigress sinking off with
her tail very much between her legs
and sneezing most violently and max
ing the most piteous grimaces. The
truth dawned upon him like flash
of lightning-in the operation of shak
ing him his snuffbox had flown oper
from his waistcoat pocket, and the
tigress had received the contents there
of full in her face!
