Car Inspector Williams Horrible
Death.

Y Columbia, Nov. 5.-James S. Viii
fiams, OF Leland, n. c., was crushed
to death by car wheels yesterday. The
terrible accident occurred in the
Southern's yards in this city about
9.20 a. m. Both legs were mashed off
midway of the hips and the knee and
there were evidenly grave internal in
juries, for there were copious hemor-
rhages from ears, mouth and nose.
He was conscious but few minutes,
and died in the ambulance on the way
to the hospital.

Democracy Won in Maryland.

Baltimore, Nov. 5.-Fully Is per
cent. of the registered vote had been
cast at i o'clock with indications that
the Democrats had made such gains in
the city and State as to insure the
election of their ticket. While there
is some doubt as to the result in the
city there seems to be but little in the
counties, all advices indicating Demo
cratic victory, in the doubtful districts.
The Republicans are inclined to con-
cede Democratic success in two of three
legislative districts in Baltimore city
and tee indications point to Demo
cratic majority in the legislature
which means TIE reelection of Mr..
German as United States senator.
Baltimore, Nov. 5.-Forty out of
32l election districts in Baltimore
city give Herring, Democrat, for comp
troller, 4,303, Platt, Republican.
1857. The same ratio if maintained
will give a Democraticc majority in
the ety. of about 1000.

Completely indicated.

Men who few years ago were rld1-
culed and jeered at for demanding an
increase of the ciculating medium can
take some comfort in the fact that
time has brought a complete vlndlca-
ton to them and the wisdom of their
claim. Men who claimed to have a
corner on all the financial wisdom
there was lying around loose dismiss,
ed the matter with e wave OF the hand
and called them financial ignoramuses
who did not know the first principles
of finance, and under the specious
guise of sound money" .classed the
plain farmers of the country who
called for an increase of the circulat-
ING medium as financial idiots who
didn't know what they did want and
claimed that the country had plenty
of money in circulation. They were
called repudiators" and other SINH
lar offensive epithets. But they nave
been rindicated. For some years now
the volume of money has been stead
lily increasing and the treasury report
issued over week ago shows an IN
crease of s29, 400, ,0o0 for the month. of
September past and for the year be-
ginning on the 1st of October last the
increase foots up over sl13, 400, 00O. and
the per capita circulation is now
s2S. 25 against about S23 few years
ago. These same men are now point
ing with pride'' to the prosperity of
the country as if it were a yindlcatlon
of their financial wisdom when it is IN
fact just the reverse. The enormous
increase in the worlds stock of gold
in the last few years has added I'M
mensely to our volume of circulation
and has cheapened money, the very
thing that the ssound money Solo
mons said we did not want and they
held up their hands in horror at the
idea of cheap money" Every farmer
in the country knows how the alliance
was ridiculed for wanting more money
and they know that it is matter of
record what these financial Solomons
said about them. And the thing is
here. It is impossible to speculate
what would have been the consequence
had the claim Of these men that there
was money enough in the country
been held to with our growing popula-
ton and expanding commerce. Finan-
cial distress Of the most direful sort
would have been almost certaiE.-An-

Latimer and Henderson Speak.

Beech Island, Aiken Co., Nov. q
The monthly meeting of the Beech
Island Farmers club in. Aiken county,
today had an added interest because
of the presence Of Congressman a. c.
Latimer and Hon. D. S. Henderson,
who made speeches. After the
speeches barbecue dinner was served
and everyone enjoyed himself.
Mr.. Latimer spoke instructively
about the free rural delivery service
which is in operation here and which
has been slow go. Then he waded
into McLaurin, the apostle of ''Com-
mercial Democracy" This apsotle
was not present, but of course he is a
fit subject for criticism, being pub
lie man and the exponent of strange
doctrines. The speaker called on Nc
Laurin to show how southern Demo
Gratis would be improved by the policy
McLanrinite.
Mr.. D. S. Henderson, candidate for
the United States senate, followed
Mr.. Latimer. Mr.. Henderson is a
prime favorite in Aiken county, and
if he does as we'll everywhere as he
does here he will be United States
senator.
Mr.. Henderson declared that be re-
CARDS the tariff as the greatest of the
great questions before the people. Nc
Laurin advocates high tariff, and, Of
couEse, trusts. The Republicans want
expansion, high tariff and ship sub
sidy. The South Carolina apostle Of
Commercial Democracy" wants these
same things. Is he not. a Republican?
A reference to the tariff as the great
est issue of the campaign was applaud
ed.
Il respect Mr.. Capers, recently ap-
pointed to a government office, be-
cause he frankly says he is a Republi-
can,'' said Mr.. Henderson, "but | do
not respect these men who call them
selves Democrats but are Republicans.
Look at tee McLaurin appointment
of Koester Let these Republicans
get in South Carolina and Democrats
Will be driven to red shirt days
again by the corruptions that will fol-
low
The audience, made up entirely Of
men, was thoroughly in accord with
the speakers. Mr.. Henderson, in his
speech, declared that there are only
two McLaurinites in Aiken county
and one of the two is an Office holder.
So far as this correspondent has OBJ
served Mr.. McLaurin has very few
supporters in the middle and southern
part of the State in the Savannah river
region.

The TlMMhNY TIGER
and The FUSION FOE.
Great Interest in the Greater
New York Election.

New York. Nov. At midnight
tonight, six hours before the opening
of the polls, both sides in the munici-
pal contest were claiming the victory.
The most strenuous talk came from the
fusion leaders, who were more In evl-
dence at their headquarters than the
Democrats. The latter, after the dis
tribution of campaign funds in the
afternoon, having hurried to their
several precincts to give their last Or
ders to their followers. John A. Mason,
of the Shepard headquarters, said he
felt confident OF the result and placed
the Democratic candidates majority
at 10000.
During the late afternoon, Seth
Low, the fusion candidate at his own
headquarters, said: 4 think things
could not look more rosy, !" and added.
ssThis has been most intelligent
campaign. The fright is now over
and no matter who is elected, | am
sure that the city will profit by it,
Robt. G. Morris. chairman of the
Republican campaign committee,
stuck to his estimate of TO- for Mr..
Low.
Mr.. Shepard believes that he has no
particular statement to make, moth
ing to say of the campaign beyond
what he had already said and no issues
to discuss further that he had already
discussed them.
If the betting on the result is any
indication as to what the count of
ballots will show the Fusion candi-
dates seem to have the better Of it by
a share. Late tonight wagers were
laid at 10 to on Low and the rest Of
the city ticket. There is not the same
confidence on the Fusion side as to the
county ticket and predictions are
made that all the candidates on the
Democratic county ticket in New York
county will be elected with the posi-
BILE exception of Robt. A. Van Wyck
for justice of the supreme court, who
has had to bear the brunt of the at
tack, and Henry W. Unger for dis
trict attorney. Possibly on account of
the whirlwind campaign he mas made,
VIM. Travers Jerome, Fusion candi-
date for this latter Office, was getting
the benefit of predictions that he
would run ahead OF his ticket, but
the betting odds favored Mr.. Unger.

the average of 53, 600 for the last IL
years, or since the first election OF
Mckinley as governor, WHICH has been
termed the greatest Republican era IN in
Ohio. The total vote this year Will
not reach 9O,OO0 and the shortage SO
considered one of the features OF 5he

Our Mail Service 10 be Improved.
Beginning Next. July the Star
Route Service Will Deliver
Mail in Boxes.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The annual
report of Second Assistant Postmaster
General VIM. S. Shallenberger, made
public today, urges regular direct fast
mail service between the Pacific coast
and the orient, the reestablishment of
pneumatic tube service generally and
the closer separation of city mail by
postal clerks on railway train rather
than by clerks of the mailing division
after its arrival in the general post
Office. Under the lastnamed PROPOSE tion
the entire force engaged in distribut-
ing the mail ready for the carriers
would be under one management and
congestion in postofice could be
overcome by the temporary detail of
railway mail clerks off duty.
The postofice department has no con-
tract for direct mail service between
the Pacific coast and the Philippines,
mails being carried by government
transorts or by steamers to Hongkong
and thence by steamers of other coun-
tries to Manila. cit now seems prob
able,'' says the report, "that if this
government should withdraw its
transports as may be done at any
time, with the understanding that it's
passenger and fast freight traffic, to-
gether with the increasing volume Of
its mails, might go to the steamship
company that would submit the most
satisfactory proposal for quick and
regular service, favorable contract
couldbe secured. The mail service
and commercial interests would be
greatly advanced by fast mail steam
ers adhering strictly to schedule time
between the Pacific coast and Manila,
and calling at other ports at regular
intervals, under conract with this gov
ernment. +"
The request for $500, 900 appropria
tion for pneumataic service is renew
ed
The report shows that on June30 last,
there were 267, ,357 miles of star route
service, 1S3, 35s of railroad routes, 49,
779 of railway postoflce car routes and
almost 3, 600 miles of electric and cable
car routes. The annual rate OF ex-
penditure for all classes of domestic
mail transportation service has inreas-
ed Sc, $40, 2S5 since last year. 1t is:
contemplated that the new contracts
for star mail service beginning next
July shall provide for delivering mail
into boxes along nearly all of the
routes. The practice of granting to
contractors general permission to sub
let their star route service. has been
discontinued. There were S25 casual
ties in the railway mail last year.
