MEMORIES OF POE.

Few homes associated with men Of
genius have attracted more sympa-
thetic and melancholy interest than
the little cottage in Fordham, \. y,
Wher the bitter tragedy OF Edgar A
Poe's life was played nearly to the end
P0e's wife. Virginia, only twenty
five, was still beautiful her large
black eyes and dark hair accentuating
her pallOr. and Poe, pround, himself
i'll, and bitter, with a sense of the in
justice of the world. and his own aoil-
ity to provide the comforts required for
his wife, was in constant fever of
anxiety.
As the summer went on, Poe grew no
better, and daily Virginia failed and
faded and the resources of the house
hold were being slowly reduced to the
starving point. Autumn came, the
snow and the cold and the winter Sc
clusion. and affairs grew desperate;
the wolf was already at the door, when,
by happy chance. the same Mrs. Grove.
whose kind heart could prompt her to
something better than her verses. call
ed on the Poes, and found the dying
wife in the summer sitting-rOOm, which
had been taken for her use.
Mrs. Poe died in the little sitting
room on aSturday. January 30. 1S41
and from here her husband. wearing
the military coat that had but lately
been her bed covering, attended by a
few friends. followed her body to its
last resting place.
For some time after his wife's death
the little house remained the home OF
| Poe and Mrs. GLENN. Friends came
occasionally to see them. and the poet
spent many odd moments working
among his beds of flowers. Besides q
cat, he had tame bObolink and par
rot to share his affection and divert
| his attention. He was fond Of being
| out Of doors, and a favOrite walk was
over the then open country to the rO-
mantle shores of the heavily wooded
Harlem River. Much of the beauty OF
this region has been cut away to make
the speedway for the spOrt-lOvine
drivers Of the metropolis. The view VI
and down the river from High Bridge
| however, is still one of breadth anG
Impressive beauty. Al Lne nOfln, De
! tween the hills, you catch glimpse Of
the Palisades. and to the south rise The
vague towers and misty pail of smoke
that belong to the great city that Poe
never really learned to know. The
granite arches of the High Bridge tina
rise to nearly $50 feet above high wa
ter form the supports for the aqueduc
over which runs a footway, and here
| Poe used to walk, or lean, musing, or
the low parapet. The ledge, back o
his house. with its extended view, was
another favorite place where he uset
to linger, and many hours We're spen
| there by the poet.
The recent cutting of new roadway
! compelled the moving of the Poe cot
tage. and 1t now stands right along
side of a typical suburban house, 81
close that one can almost touch thu
opposite wall from the veranda. TIL
present owner keeps it in good repair
On the street end there is a badl!
painted raven and tin sign Informing
the observer that Poe lived there

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Concord. N H, Nov. 4,-The number
of split tickets in to-day's balloting will
make the returns from this state very
late. The indications are that the total
vote will be about $4,000.
The figures thus far at hand show
that both the republicans and the dem
ocrats have suffered in the shrinkage
of the vote from the figures of two years
ago. The shrinkage in the republican
vote is nearly % per cent, while the
democrats lose only per cent. On this
basis, computing on the vote alreay re-
ceived, Nathan J. Batchelder, rep., will
be. elected governor over Henry F, Hol-
lis, dem, by plurality rising to 10000.
The republican losses are heaviest in
the cities, where the democratic candi-
dates advocacy of local option law
was a winning issue.

OHIO.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov 4.-The repub-
licans carried Ohio by next to their
highest plurality on record Nothing
above 10000 had been predicted, but
partial returns indicate that it will
greatly exceed that figure. At the same
time the republicans, on returns up to
midnight, made no gains in Ohio con-
gressmen and are likely to lose one.
The present Ohio delegation in congress
consists of seventeen republicans and
four democrats, and the returns show
sixteen republicans and four democrats
elected, with the Twelfth district in
doubt.

NEW JERSEY.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. Am New Jer-
sey to-day the democrats made gains,
but failed to gain control of the state.
The count is slow owing to the length
of the ballots, which in many districts
contained fifty or more names, each of
which had to be canvassed separately
owing to the wide scratching. In the
congressional contests the republicans
elected seven of their candidates, as
against six which they had under the
old appointments. The democrats elect
ed three, as against two under the old
allotment The republicans again con-
troll the senate and house by reduced
majority.

List OF Injured
New York. Nov. by a series of ex-
pIosions of pyrotechnic bombs and other
fireworks among the vast multitude
gathered in Madison Square TO witness
the ascension of an airshlp and the dis
pla= of the election veturns tonight
eleven persons were killed outright.
Many were blown almost to pieces. AMI
at least fifty were injured, many of
them fatally.
1t is estimated that at least 10000 per-
sons t&ronged the square at the time
of the explosions, and in the frightful
panic which followed the catastrophe
hundreds were thrown down and
trampled under loot.
Five hundred policemen and all the
ambulances in the city were summoned
and the dying land seriously injured
were removed to various hospitals. In
addition to these many of the wounded
were taken away by friends.
Nine men in charge of the fireworks
display were placed under arrest imme-
diately after the explosion.
The list of the dead: Policeman Den
mis- Shea, William G. Finney, George
Ritz, Harold Robley, five unknown men,
unknown colored man, unknown colored
boy.
The injured: Policeman Michael Nc
ence Dyer, David Myers, William NAL
10y, John GIadner, James Corrigan,
Frank Leisten, George Landon, Charles
Gladwin, John Farrell, f. Deyler,
Frank f. Keller, Frank Wilson, Helen
Wilson, Henry Adams, Charles Olgan,
T. DAWN, Joseph schaefer, Samuel Mil
ker, Angelo Dominick.
The densest of the throng that packed
the square was gathered along Madison
avenue close to the place reserved, for
the discharging of the fireworks. Along
| the border of the square facing the
avenue were arranged three groups of
| cast iron mortar, twenty in each group
and loaded with heavy bombs. A few
minutes after 10 o'clock the first row of
mortars was touched off, but before the
discharge took place one of them fell
over ON its side and the next instant
the bomb was ShOt into the thfckeSt OF
the crowd, where 1t exploded and hurled
the people into heaps. The fall of the
mortar and the conclusion of the explo-
sion knocked down the rest of the row
of mortars and a laundering volley of

little world, and seems oblivious of the rude and staring crowd that is constantly gathered about him. Everybody who goes to the cemetery knows him. and they never tire of watching his strange actions. It is almost impossible to gee him to talk or take any notice of what is going on about him.
 He sweeps and cleans, and fills pall ar. ter pail from the lake. while the crowd stands around and, unrebuked, gapes and stares into his odd little home.
 The two tombs in the vault. which lay side by side, one filled with the body of his wife, the other empty and waiting for him, are arranged to look like two beds Sost cushions are tt the head, a heavy covering is over the top, and a small chair stands between them, upon which the told man sits when driven in to seek shelter from the storm or heat.
 It may not be long before the end will come to this strange man, and there Is no doubt he is ready and willing to go.
 He has soft, gentle voice, and is more liko a child than man nearly 70 yeara old.
 His face is almost spiritual and he lives in such calm and perfect peace of mind that 1t seems a pity to speak to him of everyday affairs and waken him out or his dreams of life.

CORN SHORTS soUhAzED.
July is Run Up to 90 Cents in
 Chicago. (.

Chicago. July s.--Shorts in July corn were squeezed again today and the cor nered delivery went to 90 cents, the high est price since 1892, when the market touched $. July closed at S4 cents yes- terday, an advance of ' cents. over the previous close. Opening bids today were from S4 cents to s5 cents. Shorts were the bidders and by running the market up to 90 cents a little before noon. they got approximately 25O,00O bushels.
 It is estimated that in selling this much the manipulators of the market made a profit of $60.OOO. as most of their line. estimated at 100000 bushels, was purchased between 6i cents and 65 cents
