A SHORTAGE OF $4,000.
Maccabees' Finance Keeper Is n De-
fauIter, but the Society Will Lose
Nothing.

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. S.-By his
own confession Charles ID. Thompson,
supreme finance keeper of the su-
preme tent, knights of the Macca-
bees, and prominent vessel and tug
man of this city, is defaulter in the
sum of $4,000. Mr.. Thompson was
heavily bonded in the National Surety
Co., of New York, and the Fidelity
and Deposit Co., of Baltimore, and the
order, therefore, is protected from
loss. Thompson made no effort to
escape after his defalcation was dis
covered. He is now at his home
awaiting the action of the bonding
companies. His embezzlement is
confessed in letter to Supreme Com
mander Markey.
The heavy loss sustained by the
Thompson Towing and Wrecking Co.,
of this city, of which Thompson is
member, on the steamer Harlem,
which they raised from the bottom
of Lake Superior, is responsible for
the defalcation. Thompson used the
funds of the order in this enterprise,
which proved very unprofitable, as
the expense of raising and refitting
the craft was so great that she had
to be sold at a loss of $75, 900, instead
of a profit
1t is expected an effort will be made
by Thompson's friends to effect
settlement with the bonding COM

Agreed on amount of Ransom.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. S.-On We'd
nesday Mr.. Dickinson sent a messen-
ger with reply to the brigands'
proposals as formulated in Miss
Stones letter. 1t is understood that
an agreement as to the amount of the
ransom has been virtually established.
The settlement as to the manner and
place of the payment and the surren-
der of the captives presents the most
difficulty, but an entente is expected
soon. The b-igands are not willing
to cross into Turkey to obtain the
money, while the Bulgarian govern
ment would oppose releasing Miss
Stone on Bulgarian soil.

Forest Fires are Checked.

Pittsburg, Nov. 5.-The heavy fall
of rain and snow Monday night
checked the destructive mountain
fires which threatened Dunbar. In
the mountains the fall of snow
amounted to nearly two inches.
Mountain farmers who came to town
for the first time during the past
week on account of the furious fires,
report the confagration the worst in
the history of the neig'hborhood.
Game in some sections is almost ex-
terminated. What was not burned
to death will die from starvation, as
all the berries and nuts were d.
Stroyed by the flames.

MISSISSIPPI.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 6.-As only the
Offices of state treasurer and secre-
tary of state were to be filed little
interest was manifested in the cleo
ton. kilograms from larger towns
indicate that the temporary incum-
bents, George w. Carlisle and Joseph
w. Powers, who are appointees of
Gov. Longino, have been elected state
treasurer and secretary of state, re-
spectively. Fuller returns will not
be received for a day or two, as nu-
merous precincts are off the rail
roads and without telephone connec-
ton. All the candidates were dem
ocrats.

MAINLAND.

Baltimore, Nov. Ga conservative
estimate based on about half the vot-
ing precincts in the city and unoffi-
cial returns from the state made at
3 a. m. indicate that the democrats
will control the legislature and will
have probably 81 votes on joint bal
lot, which is six more than a major
ity. In order to attain this result it
will be necessary that they carry the
Second Legislative district in Balti-
more city, which seems probable. Not
more than half the returns from the
city are in and these show an unu-
sually close contest. 1t is not be-
lieved that the majority for either
party in Baltimore city will exceed
1900.
Baltimore, Nov. 7.-Ret turns re-
ceved in this city up to midnight and
including every county in the state,
partly official and partly estima ted,
indicate a result IN the Legislative con-
test which is almost without parallel
in Maryland. The most careful es-
Inmates give the democrats 46 dele
gates and seven newly-elected sena-
tors, which, combined with the ten
who hold over in the senate, assures
the friends of Mr.. German 63 votes
on joint ballot. The republicans
have elected 40 delegates and six SEN
ators, which added to their three
hold-over senators, gives them a total
of So on joint ballot. These figures
indicate that the republicans will be
able to organize the house of dele

PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.--Pennsylva-
MIA voted on three proposed amend
ments to the constitution which pro-
vide for personal registration and
voting machines. The amendments
carried. The propositions, must,
however, be acted upon by the leg
islature which meets in 1903 before
they can be embodied in the consti-
tuition.
Returns indicate the election OF the
entire republican state ticket, Frank
G. Harris for state treasurer and
William p. Potter for supreme court
judge, by from 10000 to 10000 plural
ity The vote in favor of the pro-
posed constitutional amendments in
the interest of ballot reform is over
whelming.
Notwithstanding the intense inter-
est, the election throughout this city
was conducted generally in an orderly
manner. There were, however, nu-
merous disputes at polling places,
and in number of instances the dis
putants came away with broken
heads, but no very serious rows oc-
Cured anywhere. The regular re-
publicans and the fusionists charge
each other with wholesale frauds and
promise to make numerous arrests.
There were many arrests for viola
tions of the election laws, but in near
ly every case the offender was bailed
out by political friends.
In Philadelphia Rothermel, the fu-
sion candidate for district attorney,
was beaten by 43,47s plurality Har-
ris' plurality in this city was 34,961
and Potter's was 81 ,921.
Harry Davis, fusion, was elected
judge of common pleas court, run
ming nearly 1000 votes ahead of
Henry Budd. his associate on the
ticket.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Practically
complete returns from the state give
Harris (rep.) for treasurer 52,360 plu-
rality and Potter (rep.) for supreme
court Judge 1899 plurality. The
official totals from the few counties
in which the vote Is incomplete will
not materially alter the foregoing
plurahties.
number of counties have not vet
completed the returns of the vote on
the proposed constitutional amend
ments providing for changes in the
ballot law, but the figures received
from two-t thirds of the state Indicate
that the amendments carried by
big majority.
Lancaster, Nov. Bird Cassel, re-
publican, was elected to congress in
the Tenth congressional district by
about 1900 plurality. He succeeds
the late marriott Brosius.

VIRGINIA..

Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-Although
the democrats polled only about rs
per cent of their vote, the result sur
passed their most sanguine expecta-
tions. The negroes took little inter-
est in the contest, and the indica-
tions are that the democratic major
ity for the state ticket Will be more
than $4,000.
The democratic majority on joint
ballot in the legislature will be over
whelming. On the legislative ticket
the democrats made gains in the
southwest, where they feared they
were weak.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 6.-The gem
eral assembly, that was elected in
Kentucky yesterday, with the excep-
tion of half the senate, which holds
over, will be democratic on joint ball
lot by an increased majority, accord
ing to the latest returns. This gen.
eral assembly will elect a successor
to United States Senator William J.
Deboe, republican, for the term be-
ginning March 4, 1903. The returns
indicate that the senate will stand 20
democrats to IL republicans, the same
as the old senate, and the house IT
democrats to % republicans, a dem
ocratic gain of II.
In addition to electing a United
States senator the new assembly will
redistrict the state as to senatorial,

Lincoln, Nov. 6.-Indications based
on meager and scattering precinct
returns are that. Nebraska has reaf-
firmed her verdict of last year in fa-
vor of the republicans. Figures from
the smaller towns and few country
districts show a republican gain of
four to the precinct over a year ago,
when the average republican major
ity was $500. If these gains are
sustained Sedgewick. republican, for
supreme court justice, will carry the
state by from 5000 to 10000. At re-
publican headquarters the claim il
made of 10000.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7.-Complete
returns from more than a third of
the counties in Nebraska increase the
pluralities for the republican state
ticket. If the ratio of gain shall be
maintained, Sedgwick, republican
candidate for supreme judge, will
nave plurality of 10000.

throughout the state, the loss in some
precincts being between 40 and so per

age loss for the state one-fifth OF two
years ago. A. B. Cummins, the repub-
ican candidate, has been elected by
a plurality of something like 10000,
the largest ever given governor in

ralities.
