PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Complete re-
turns from the 40 wards in this city
give Barnett, reI., for state treasurer,
a plurality over Greasy, dem., of 69,407,
against plurality of 74,74S for Hay
wood, the republican candidate in 1895,
and plurality of 7O,953 for Beacon,
rep, in 1897. The total vote cast yes
terday was 15O,440, against 15S,5SS in
1895 and 145,O47 IN 1897.
The vote on the question of authoriz-
ing a S12,000,000 loan for the improve
ment of the city water supply shows
the citizens to be overwhelmingly in
favor of the proposition, the average
ratio of favorable votes being about
10 to 1.
The republican city committee esti-
mates a republican plurality of 10000
in Philadelphia, a republican loss of
over 10000 as compared with 1897. The
loss is due to the small vote cast.
In the state the following ticket was
elected: State treausrer, James e.
Barnett. republican,; supreme court
Judge, j. IL. Brown, republican; S. L.
Mestrezat, democrat; superior court
Judge, John l. Mitchell, republican.
There are two vacancies in the SUI
preme court and each party elect one
judge.
One congressman, Ninth distrio6'
was elected. II. d. Green, dem., was
chosen by a majority of 5000 to sue
ceed ID. NJ. Ermentrout, deceased.
Tittsburg, Nov. S.-Barnett, republi-
can candidate for state treasurer, has
carried Allegheny county by 10000, ac-
corcling to Republican Chairman Rob.
ertson. The entire republican state
and county tickets are elected by the
same majority, which amount practi.
cally to pluralities. In the city ot
Pittsbrrg Barnett's majority is esti
mated at 10000.
said last night: "Mr. Barnett's ma
iority in the state will be 100000. The
majority in Allegheny will be about
10000 and in the state exclusive o.
Philadelphia and Allegheny about so,
600. The other candidates will ruI
somewhat ahead of Barnett, as the op
position within our own party ha'
been concentrated on Barnett"
Estimates from all counties indicate
Barnett's (rep.) plurality over Creas.
(dem.) to be 125,4S3. In the sam,
counties the estimates were necessaril,
based on meagre information and com
plete returns may change the figure
here given. In 1897, when Swallow
ind, carried ten counties in the state
the plurality of Beacon, rep, was 129,
TIT and in 1895 the plurality for Hay
wood, rep, was 174,264.

ELEVATOR FALLS.
Ten Persons Seriously Injured bJ the
Drop of Car in IA Mime
apOIis Building.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE ele-
vator in the PheniX building, one of the
largest structures in the city, fell five
stories Monday afternoon when filled
with passengers. Ten persons were in
jured, several of them seriously. The
injured: C. b. Trafton, L. Armstrong,
Garvey Donaldson, j. IL. Tallmage, Sr.,
w. II. Place, Arthur Fredenburg, Ed
win Lindahl, Charles b. Marvin, j. III.
Tallmage, Jr., and an unknown wom-
an. The cause of the accident was the
giving way of the cable in the socket
attached to the car, and when the car
riage dropped, the heavy weights, de-
tached from their fastenings at the
eleventh story, fell on it, crushing the
occupants of the cage in the basement.
The most severe injuries are broken
legs, and it is thought all the victims
will recover. The elevator was inspect
ed few days ago and reported to be in
first-class condition.

Returns from the ciOy show repub-
publican ticket has carried the city of
Louisville by about 1000.

cincts show plurality for Taylor of
2,6S5. Complete returns from the Sec

the state by from 10000 to $4,000 ma
jority. He said that Taylor had car
ried the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth
and Eleventh congressional districts,

gains in most all of the democratic
strongholds which were expected to
give Goebel large majorities. Chair
man Long claims the republicans have
carried the city of Louisville by from
5000 to 5000 majority.
Lexington, Nov. Tin one precinct
in this city last night, while the count
was in progress, body of armed men,
said to have come from the republican
headquarters, attempted to enforce a
fair count, as they claimed. Reaching

Der of police and citizens. Firearms
were brought into use and about loo
shots were fired. One negro was
wounded, not seriously. The attack
ing party fled and no arrests have been
made.

Cannot GET Wen.

Paterson, n. j., Nov. THE condi-
tion of Vice President Hobart is but
little changed. He spent fairly COM
Portable day and slept good part of
the time. DIR. Newton was asked what
he thought of the chances of Mr.. Ho-
bart TO survive during the week, and
said that il was impossible to make even
an intelligent guess, as his patient was
liable to die at almost any minute, and
might survive for several weeks, al
though his recovery was impossible.
When Mr.. Hobart's sickness began he
weighed about 200 pounds. His weight
now is reduced to 125 pounds.

cr Thompson received e,l27 majority
over his republican opponent and is re-
elected to second term. City Clerk
John Schmidt, republican, gets third

The democrats elected eight alder
men and the republicans nine, making
the council stand 10 republicans to ID
democrats. The election of two of
the democratic aldermen will be con-
tested, the republicans claiming crook
ed work at the polls. Justice Teagan,
republican, was elected by 40 major
ity and contest of this is probable.

At 10 p. m. Judge Nash claimed his
election rs governor and Chairman
Dick said he was assured the republi-
cans had carried everything. but he
had no figures yet to announce.
The Associated Press sent to Mr..
Mclean at his residence asking if he
claimed his election and received the
reply that he had no answer yet to
make. Chairman Seward, of the
democratic committee, said he was not
prepared TO answer the question.
After IL p. IN. the returns showed
that the democratic gains in Cincin-
natl and other cities were increasing
and that Mclean was third at Cleve-
land and possibly Toledo. in which
cities Jones drew more heavily from
the republican than from the demo-
cratic ticket. Chairman Dick previ'
ous to the election repeatedly claimed
the election of the entire state ticket
by not less than $4,000 plurality. Last
night lie refused to give out any fig
ures, but those around him say that
means that he now has no reason to
change his first figures. The later
returns seem to be growing in favor
of the republicans, especially since the
returns indicate that Jones hurt the
democrats much more than the repub-
licans in Cleveland, Toledo and Column
bus and other cities, while the first
reports indicated exactly the opposite

MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston, Nov. S.-Complete returns
show that Paine, DEM, has carried the
city by 6,196. Paine's total vote was
32,502. Cranes total vote was 26,396.
Last year Wolcott, rep, carried Boston
by 1897 over Bruce, dem. Wolcott's
total vote was 33,575 and Bruce's 31,67s.
These figures show loss to Crane of
7,011 and a gain for Paine of 0O2.
The result in 331 cities and towns, in
cluding Boston, out of the 353 in the
state, give Crane, rep, 154,721; Paine,
dem, 97,096. The same towns and
cities in 1898 gave Wolcott, 174,S45:
Bruce 1OO.7O1. This shows republi-
can loss of 90 per cent and democrat
loss of per cent. On this basis the
republicans have carried the state by

NEB TASK

Lincoln, Nov. Sit is evident to
both parties that Nebraska has re-
pledged her allegiance to the fusion
standard. While republicans are no,
yet willing to admit defeat, early fig
ures point that way. There has been
steady falling off of the vote of both
parties, but, while the fusionists have
suffered but little the republican loss
has not been less than three to a pre-
cinct. If the present ratio is main
tanned, eX-Gov. Holcomb and the fusion
state ticket will be elected by not less
than 10000. Fusionists claim much
more.
Returns continue to show the same
fusion gain as earlier reports, and
there is no longer the least doubt of
the fusion tickets election.
Chairman Edmiton, of the populist
state central committee, said: 1--WE
have carried the state by $4,000 and
have made gains in county Offices"
Chairman Tefft, of the republican
committee, declined to make state
ment, but many of his associates ad-
mitted defeat, though not conceding
by as large a majority as claimed by
the fusionists. Asked at midnight for
statement, w. j. Bryan replied with
laughter: 81 concede the state of
Nebraska to the fusionists by $4,000"
