ADVICES FROM LADYSMITH
Cause the British War Office to Take a
Decidedly Hopeful View Of Situation.
JOUBERT GIVEN HOME 1HRUSTS
The Comment in London Has
Assumed Optimism.
ARRIVAL OF PART OF BuLLER'S CORPS

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires,
London, Eng, Nov. 8.--An air of
relief was observable among the Brit
ish War Office officials today, as re-
suit Of the reassuring news from Lady
smith, and the tone of comment on the
war news has assumed optimism, which
lately has been absent, leading to the
belief that, in addition to the brighter
prospects of the belbagured garrison,
the War Office is cheered by the news
of the arrival at their destination Of
the first transports with Gen. Bullef's
army corps. The proposal to send out
an additional 10000 troops is highly
approved, and it is considered probable
that fully that number will be required.
The news of great victory which
was circulating here last evening is
not confirmed, and the Boer losses re-
ported by what may be designated
tKaffirgrams'' ought to be greatly
discounted as the Katfirs, knowing the
British wish to hear Of Boer losses,
are likely TO supply them with reports
to their taste. However, allowing for
all exaggeration, Gen. White appears
to have given Gen. Jouhert's forces
several home thrusts, and the War Office
officials take decidedly hopeful view
of the entire situation, and believe
that even the advance section of the
British forces at Ladysmith have seen
the worst days.

CLOSE IN OHIO.
AZ Midnight Both Parties Were Claiming
the stats.

Columbus, o., Nov. Sat midnight
the chairman of both the Republican
and Democratic State Committees are
claiming the election of their re-.
spective State tickets and majority
Of the Legislature.
Samuel M. Jones, mayor of Toledo,
and nonpat tisan candidate for
governor, is certainly the closest third
that ever entered the Ohio guber-
natorial race. The indications are
that he has drawn more heavily from
the Republicans in the cities than
from the Democrats, with the ex-
ception Of Columbus and smaller
cities. His total vote is estimated at
5000.
Tho Democratic gairs are heavy, but
there is not the usual percentage of
tither Republican or Democratic gains
md losses, as the gains run for the
Republicans in some places and for the
Democrats in others. Even after the
returns are complete from Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Toledo, 1t may be diff
cult to reach the result positively,
owing to the tide in the Jones vote,
which runs in streaks and causes Re-
publican losses in some places, with
Democratic losses elsewhere.
At midnight Judge Nash claimed his
election as governor. Chairman Dick
said he was assured tho Republicans
had carried everything, but he had no
figures to announce.
cnyahoga county, including the city
Of Cleveland, has probably given a
plurality for Jones.

Fifteen precincts out of ITO in Lucas

su' Mclean 767 and Jones 7O6. This
Indicates a plurality Of 1900 for Nash

CHILD KILLED BY A CAR.
Shocking Accident at Fourteenth and Clay
mont Streets Yesterday Morning,

mont Streets Yesterday Morning.
Thomas Gardner, aged about years,
son Of Nh. and Mrs. John Gardner of
No. % Peoples street, was knocked
down, run over and killed by car No.
90 of the East Eighth street line at
Fourteenth and Claymont streets about
$40 O'Clock yesterday morning. He and
some other boys were playing chaser
at the time and he ran Immediately in
front of the car, probably without
knowing it, and either fell or was
accidentally pushed under the wheels.
The car was not running rapidly at the
time and Motorman Joseph Warren
stopped it within few feet, applying
the brakes as soon as he saw the boy
in front of him. Several people who
saw the accident say the motorman
was not to blame and did everything
in his power to avert the accident.
David Klund, the conductor, being in
the rear part of the car, did not know
of the accident until after it had hap
pened.
As soon as the car was stopped
Klund and Warren alighted and with
several other people who were in the
vicinity took the body from under 1T.
The unfortunate lads right hand was
cut off and his right side and leg badly
lacerated. The head was cut and torn
and the skull is believed to be frao-
tured, The lifeless body was placed
alongside the tracks and covered and
in few minutes the father, having
learned Of the accident, appeared on
the scene and carried his dead child to
the house, some distance away. In the
meantime Coroner Vandever had been
notified and he and his deputy, Ferris
Giles, began All investigation.
Young Gardner, who was a pupil in
the lowest room in No. II Public
School, on Claymont street above
Fourteenth, had left his home to go to
school and he ard some other boys
we're playing on the street, as is the
general custom each day before the
session of school begins. The boys
were running about in every direction
and when Gardner darted in front of
the car he either did not know the car
was there or that it was SO close, as he
was said to have had his head turned
away from the car looking at the 10y
who was running after him. 1t may
be that he knew the Car was approach
ing and was trying to place it between
him and the other boys and missed his
CalculhblOuo' AZ any Iutci Juob an no
stopped on tine track be ran against
the car and Immediately fell across the
easterly track. and almost as soon as
his body struck the ground one of the
front wheels of the car was upon him
and ran across his leg and hand and
struck his head.
A score of other childten were nearby
and saw the accident and some of them
were made sick. Most of them were
school companions of Gardner's and
the accident cast a gloom over the
school during the entire day SO much
SO, in fact, that very little school work
could be done.
Miss Meta Kettlewood, who had been
the unfortunate boys teacher, said he
was one of the brightest boys in her
room. She was almost heartEroken
over the accident and her scholars
shared this feeling also.

the northern end had apparently
weakened its supports. The ventilator
was II or ID feet wide. Not long after

arose. That showed the completeness

can Rout in Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neh., Nov. Sat the Bryan
house, last night, the telephone kept
up constant clamor. with reports
from the populist Headquarters down
town. The first bulletins came from
the town of Crete, formerly Republi-
can by 100, but which this year gives
Fusion majority of 78.
BY TO- 80 O'Clock it became apparent
that the Fusionists had carried Ne
braska, even the city of Lincoln, which
time and again had dealt Bryan the
seperest blows. Douglas county, the
site of Omaha, deserted the Republican
party for the first time in its history.
Mr.. Bryan made no attempt to conceal
his pleasure.
"It was an election fought or national
of our principles, - he telegraphed to
Senator blackburn and to Chairman
James X. jones Of the National Demo-
putting the indicated Fusion majority
at $4,000. The dispatches were hardly
off before later bulletins led him to
raise his estimate to 10000

Fusion victory. The Fusion plurality
will not be less than 1000 and may
reach $4,000. The Republicans claim
that the gains are only over last year.

however, Lancaster and Harrisburg,
propositions to inciea the debt for
water improvement purposes were de-
feated.
The latest figures indicate that
Barnett has from 10000 to 100, 200
plurality in the State. The extent of
the cutting cannot yet be aseertained
accurately, but it is believed that he
suffered tho loss of at least 20, 900 votes
in this way.
There was scarcely any sign Of a
tight in tho State at .arge and the vote
generally was light. In Chester county,
however, the anti-Quay Republicans
fused with the Democrats and fierce
contest resulted. The regular Republi
cans won, the pluralities for their
county candidates averaging about
5000, only little under the normal
Republican plurality.

New York, Nov. Slater returns
from Yesterdays election show practi-
cally no change in the figures given
out last night. In New York county
the entire regular Democratic ticket
was elected by pluialities averaging
about $4,000. The Republicans win
probably have majority of "a in the
Assembly, Republican gain of 10.
In Kings county, Brooklyn. the
Democratic ticket was elected by
pluralities averaging l4,0O0 except that
Gray, D., for register, was defeated by
Howe, R., by 1858 votes, This was due
to internal strife in the rarty.
