STILL TO BE HEARD FROM
Great Interest Manifested in the Re turns-Vote to Be Canvassed To- morrow-County Convention
 Will Meet at Noon.

The returns from the county beats of the county which came In yesterday, only went to. confirm The Age -Herald's announce ment of the results Sunday morning. There Is now no longer any doubt but that Robert J. Lowe gets the sixth place on the ticket, defeating James Weatherly by nearly two hundred votes. The only change was that Lee Bradley went up from fifth to fourth place, and Captain Kolb dropped from fourth to fifth place. The successful can- didates in their proper order are Frank S. White Hugh Morrow, John P Tfllman Lee c. Bradley, Reuben F. Kolb and Robert J. Lowe
 There was the greatest interest mani- Tested all over the city yesterday morning by the friends of Lowe, Weatherly and Beddow, and at time it looked as if each of them would get the sixth place. But Lowe kept on gaining all day until the last box came in, which gave him a decided lead over MT. Weatherly. The total vote in all the boxes which are still to be heard rom Is not estimated at much over two hundred, and of this number Lowe = Fl get his full share of votes.

PAT WALSH DEAD.
Was At One Time Senator from
 Georgia.

Augusta, Ga., March 20.-Hon. Patrick Walsh, ex-United States senator, mayor of this city and editor of the Chronicle, died here Sunday morning at 7:9O o'clock after a prolonged attack of nervous prostration.
 Patrick Walsh was one of the best known politicians and journalists in the state, and attained a high position in national poli- tics. He was appointed by Governor Northen to fill the unexpired term of Sena- tor Alfred Colquitt, in the United States senate.
 His death may be traced to the ingrati- tude of certain of his Augusta friends When he returned from Washington he entered the contest for the mayoralty of Augusta, and the fact that he was probably the most popular man in the city and had received so many compliments at the hands of the voters, led him to expect unani- nous election.
 He came of humble Irish parentage, and has risen of his own efforts to his position of influence. During the campaign al cer-

JOHN SHERMAN DYING.
His Physicians Have Nearly Abandoned
 All Hope.

Kingston, Jamaica, March 20 The Amer ican line steamer Paris, with the party of American excursionists who arc touring in West Indian waters, sailed at o'clock this evening. Mr. John Sherman Is worse and is not likely to survive the night.
 The United States cruiser Chicago has not yet arrived, but it is supposed she will meet the Paris at Santiago de Cuba.
 The Paris will probably touch first at Guantanamo. She left instructions for the Chicago to follow with all haste. The hot weather has greatly weakened MT. Sher- man, and his doctors feel that unless a change for the better comes very quickly all hope must be abandoned.
