The Michel Mystery.

A Chicago dispatch says doubt as to
the identity of the body buried as Min
ria Mitchell must for some time com
plicate the mystery ~shrouding the Barth-
murder case. For the sec
ond time Judge Brentano yesterday re-
fused to issue an order to exhume the
body of the woman which was found on
August 7th at Seventy-fourth and State
streets.
Robert Mitchell, brother of the suppos-
ed lead girl. declined to sign afidavits
necessary for the exhumion. He said his
family was willing that the body be dis
inferred but that, although the only
means of identification they had were
articles of clothing found near the body,
they were not willing to take the initi-
alive.
Chief of Police O'Neal received infor-
nation taht leads him to believe w. j.
Bartholin, the suspected murderer, was
in Chicago August is. He said he
thought the fugitive was not dead and
he was seen with a valise and probably
left the city two days after the discovery
OF the body of his murdered mother in
home.

Some LoveIorn Bachelors.

w. +. Norton writes from the r ranch
in Oregon to Winnemucca friends that
he considers that part of the country ex-
c~eedingly lonely on account of the scar
city of members of the fair sex, and he
believes that a good Investment would
be the establishment at or near the p
ranch of a branch matrimonial bureau.
The young men of that vicinity have no
chance of marrying as 1t is, and the
country is filling up with grumpy old
bachelors. and a child is a curiosity in
the neighborhood of the Bitten river.
Won't some enterprising person come
forward and establish some institution
whereby this painful situation can be re-
lieved? Handsome commissions could no
doubt be realized for furnishing hand
some wives to these l~ovelern Oregon
ians. We hope to see matters taken in
hand soon and viii do what we can TO
further their relief.

NEW YORK.

Albany N Y, Nov. 5.-Since Roswell
p. Flower in a Democratic landslide.
defeated J. Sloat Fassett for governor in
the face of Republican claims for an
easy victory, there has not been such an
overturning OF votes from the Repub-
lican to the Democratic party in this
states a sthat which occurred yesterday.
With the exception of Erie. Albany and
RENSSELAER, counties, every Democratic
prediction Of sweeping majorities was
carried out and amplified Especially
was this true below The Bronx. The
claims of 900 for the Greater New
York district were more than verified,
but the claims for Erie, Albany and
Rensselaer, were not responded to, and
the failure to realize Democratic hopes
in these counties removed all chance of
Coler's election.
The figures. both in total and in de-
tail are extremely interesting. With d
registration 4 per cent. below that of
two years ago. the Democratic party in
the Greater New York district showed
a gain in voting power in a majority of
the counties Of over 40 per cent, and
this tremendous gain was met and de-
feated. Over its combined vote in the
state two years ago the Democratic
marty gained at least 35 per cent, and
The Republican party lost 40 per cent.

Chicago, Nov 4.-With the exception
of few missing precincts the total
vote of the city of Chicago for state
treasurer is as follows:
BusSe, (Rep.)-129, $40.
Duddleston, (Den. )-116, ,S99.
Busse's plurality, 12.471.
Barrett, the Democratic candidate for
sheriff received 125.S27 against 112, ,909 for
Healy, (Rep), a plurality of 1913 for
Barrett For county treasurer Han
berg (Rep) received 119,482 against 115.
696 for Kiolbossa (Dem-); a plurality for
Hanberg of 3,78e. 1t is estimated that
the county vote outside the city will
swell the Republican vote by 5000.
The returns are coming in so slowly
that the vote for the minor places on
the ticket can not be stated. but it is
certain that neither party will have
clean sweep. The amount of scratch
ing was unprecedented in Chicago
and no prediction regarding the minor
offices is worth anything. The Repub-
licans will have a majority of members

The work of counting the ballots was
very slow. and in three precincts the
judges were unable to- finish their work
until about 10 o'clock this morning, and
they worked all night.
The Independent forces have nothing
to say about their crushing defeat. They
rejected by the judges which should
have been counted and that the great
ma jority of these rejected ballots were
for Stahl and Stebbins. They cites ex-
amples the second precinct of the
Fourth ward, where 35 ballots were re-
jected, of which thirty were StahI-
and Stebbins ballots. They claim that
in the third of the Second 29 ballots
were rejected, of which % were for
Stahl and Stebbins If the election had
been anywhere near close, these reject
ed ballots would no doubt have formed
the ground for a contest. but as it is,
the victory is too decisive to admit of
any controversy.
Even the county went against the in
dependents, and this was hardly ex-
pected even by the Republicans them

In those states which elected governors
there was no state in which the party iii
power was not continued in that POSI-

was a decided change from the vote

In the east. the main interest centered
in the two great states of New York
and Pennsylvania in the latter because
of the conditions brought about by the
recent coal strike and in New York be-
cause of its bearing on the future of the
Republican candidate for governor.
New York reelected Governor B. B.

though the falling off in the Republican
plurality as compared to 1900 was enor-

ality was placed at about 10 600.
The Democrats made a slight gain in
the legislature. The Democrats also
made gains in the congressional cleo
tions. the unofficial figures placing the
delegation at 20 Republicans and IL
