TUESDAYS RESULTS.

In the congressional elections
last Tuesday the democrats
failed to capture the next house,
and while democracy made gains
in some states, it lost heavily in
others. In New York, Bird S.
Coler, democratic nominee for
governor, was defeated by Gov.
Olell by a reduced majority, es-
timated at $4,000. 1t is thought
the democrats have gained some
congressman in New York. The
republicans swept Ohio, the
home of Tom johnson, who cam
paigned the state, and who hoped
to make such a showing as would
give him a boom for the presi-
dency, Illinois was also swept
by the republicans. The demo-
Gratis made substantial gains in
Michigan and Wisconsin, and
the result is said to be close in
the latter state, The democrats
also made a better showing in
Delaware, but lost votes in Colo
rado. Ths south remains intact
and sends a solid democratic
delegation to congress. Roose-
velt's old congr essional district
in New York reversed itself and
sends a democrat to congress.
Lincoln, Nebraska, the home Of
Mr.. Bryan, gave . republican
plurality Of 1900.

Tampa Times: At the turpentine
camps near Turkey Creek a murder
was committed Sunday morning, when
Joe Jenkins, colored. shot and killed
Joe Williams, another turpentine hand.
On the day the murder was committed
Jenkins and a number of others were
having a good time, drinking liquor,
firing off their pistols, etc. They be-
came very rowdy, and it was not long
before jenkins got into trouble with
his woman. They engaged in a row
with the result that jenkins fired his
pistol at her several times, but failed
to hit her. She ran away alarmed, and
was not seen any more that day. The
murderer then returned to his hut,
where Joe Williams was lying on
bed asleep. He noticed the sleeping
man, and asked another negro who
was there. He was told that it was

Monday night Dalton was visited by
one of the most disastrous fires in its
history Shortly before o'clock the
large plant of the Farrar Lumber Com
pany caught fire and in a few moments
the entire structure was a mass OF
flames. The fire seemed to have origi-
mated in the dry kiln and then spread
over the building. The Farrar Lumber
Company had only last year entirely
rebuilt their plant. and it was one or
the best equipped plants of its kind in
that section. 1t is estimated that the
loss will be in the neighborhood of $2O,-
600. and not d dollar OF insurance. The
flames spread to the barn of j. II. Ben
der and destroyed the barn, some 400
D.r~s ga may, moving machine, Guilt
vators, etc, with loss near $1,000. The
Ddin vi j. l.. Bender was also burned.
The fire was on both sides of the
Southern Railway tracks, and much
or the track was destroyed, springing
the rails, burning crossties, and rem
dering the track impossible. The
sidetracks We're destroyed for some
hundred or two feet, and all passenger
trains going in either direction were
stopped.

This appeared to be based upon the

to fractions and before noon there was
a tendency to recover. In the after
noon a decided demonstration Of
strength took place. Several rising to

stopped by rumors that a strike had
been ordered by the Scranton confer

with regard to the anthracite labor stu

tor, buying a little on balance. A
sharp rise in call money in the after
noon was potent in causing a late sell
