Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-The campaign
having ended there was little activity
to-day about republican and democratic
headquarters. Those of the state lead
ers not residing in this city left here
lats night and to-day for their homes
to vote Former Judge Pennypacker,
republican candidate for governor,
spetn the day at his home in Montgon1-
cry county and will remain there until
after the election. Robert E. Pattison,
his democratic opponent, was at his Of
fee here most of the day and tonight
addressed a mass meeting of Iongshore-
men in this city.
Insurance Commissioner Durham,
leader of the local republican organiza-
tion, predicts a convincing victory for
the republican ticket. He said:
GAS a result of the representations I
have received I predict a republican
majority in Philadelphia of 100000. The
total may be higher [ look for $4,000
majority for Judge Pennypacker out
side Of Philadelphia. The city will send
a solid delegation to both branches of
the legislature"
Those of the democratic leaders still
here claim there is no doubt of Patti
sons ability to carry the state outside
of Philadelphia. Chairman Donnelly,
of the city committee, expresses belief
that Pattison's vote in this city will
be more than $4,000 which, it is claimed,
will insure his election if the demo-
cratic expectations are realized outside
of Philadelphia.
United States Senator Penrose will
come up for reelection by the legisla-
ture to be elected tomorrow 1t is
claimed the republicans will elect more
than the 129 senators and representa-
tives necessary to a choice on joint bal
lot and this insures Penrose's election.

CASTELLANES ENTERTAIN.
King Carlos, of Portugal. and Party

ty hares.
On the return to the chateau actors

ministers in favor Of preferential trade
was shown throughout the conference.
The Canadians definitely urged upon
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain that,
in consideration of the substantial
preferences given by Canada to the
products of Great Britain, Canadian
exports of food products ought to be
exempted from the duties imposed this
year by Great Britain.
Mr.. Chamberlain did not agree to this
proposal. He said he did not believe
that there would follow any material
result to the trade of the United King
dom on account of the granting of pref
erential trade by Canada, great as the
Canadian ministers claimed this trade
to be, and he declined to agree to such
a departure from the fiscal policy of
the empire.

Ohio.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 3.-Before the
party managers left for their homes to-
night to vote no unusual developments
were reported anywhere in this state.
The democratic managers still persist
that there may be a surprise in the
vote on the state ticket, and that they
will gain three congressman, surely
two. The present Ohio delegation in
congress consists of seventeen republi-
cans and four democrats. Chairman
Dick before leaving for Akron this af-
ternoon said he expected a republican
gain of one by A. Fl. Jackson defeating
Congressman James A. Norton in the
Thirteenth district. While Chairman
Dick has not change his estimate of
10000 plurality on the state ticket,
there are others at the republican state
headquarters who predict that the plu-
rality of Laylin over Bgelow for sec
retary of state will approximate 100-
900. The republicans express more con-
f1dence tonight than usual and offer
bets at such odds as were never heard
of in Ohio heretofore. Although the
talk of the campaign has been about
johnson succeeding Hanna and after

PROBABLY SUICIDED.
A Bridgeport Railroad Man MamgIed
Beyond Recognition.

Bridgeport, Nov. 3.-Robert Arroll,
for fifteen years employed by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. was run over by the 7:25 New
York express tonight and mangled al
most beyond recognition. The name
"Arroll' on piece of tape sewed to
one of his socks proved the clue to his
identity. He lived at 289 Broad street,
this city, and leaves widow and two
daughters, twins, aged fifteen years
He was fortyI-eight years old and had
been in poor health of late and at times
out of his mind. He had but recently
come out of a private hospital His
family fear he ended his life deliber-
ately by lying down upon the track on
the trestle at the foot of State street
He had been melancholy all day and
left the house at o'clock this evening.
He met his death twenty-five minutes
later

in the same ring here tonight and de-
feated both. His opponents were

BILLY" Finucane. of Chicago. Each
contest was scheduled for six rounds.
Halliday met Forbes first and he was
knocked out after two minutes Of fight
ing in the first round. Halliday was
badly outclassed and succumbed to a
right swing on the jaw.

Other Matters.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
board of aldermen was held last even
ing. When the meeting was called to
order a motion was made and lost to
adjourn until next Monday evening. A
communication was received from the
mayor Vetoing the petition in regard to
the coal strike" This was accepted.
A number of petitions were then read
and tabled for printing. The petition in
regard to the sale of certain West Rock
property by the city to Mr.. Beecher of
the Diamond Match company for $500
was then taken up and remonstrance
signed by Simeon Il. Baldwin and a
number of others was read. Alderman
Alling took the floor and argued in IA
vor of the sale for about one half an
hour and gave history of the property
up to the present time. Aldermen
Dickerman, Corcoran, Beecher, Conway
and Dawson spoke favorably in regard
to the sale, while Aldermen Trueman
and O'Keefe opposed it. The resolution
after much argument was finally adopt
ed.
The report of the committee on re-
trenchment and reform favored con-
verting the former councilmanic cham
bers into a public hall.
The committee on railroads and
bridges, to whom was referred the reso-
lutions of Henry Donovan concerning
air brakes, etc, on street railroad cars
reported that action should be deferred
as the state railroad commissioners had
made an inspection Of the Fair Haven
and Westville trolley road and had
made suitable suggestions which the
road had already adopted or would
adopt.
The next matter to come before the
board was the report of the committee
on retrenchment and reform in regard
to Anthony Carrolrs appointment as
inspector. 1t was accepted and was as
follows:
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen of
the City of New Haven:
Your committee on retrenchment and
reform to whom was referred the COM
municatiop of Anthony Carroll de his
discharge or employment as an inspec-
tor in the department of public works
beg leave to report that they have at
tended to the business assigned, and on
due examination are of the opinion that
Mr. Carroll is a competent inspector of
streets and they therefore respectfully
recommend that he be given employ
ment as inspector by the department Of
public works in the regular order and
under the civil service rules.
The next thing in order was the
reading of the report of the committee
on streets in regard to the Pearl street
extension. The report after being read
was tabled for printing and was as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen Of
the City of New Haven:

New York, Nov. 3.-The lull before
the opening of the final struggle to-
morrow finds the leaders of both the
great parties still claiming large, and
in many instances increased pIuralties
for their respective candidates.
Frank Campbell, chairman of the
democratic state committee, has de-
clared himself convinced that his esti-
mate of $4,000 plurality in the state for
Coler for governor erred on the side of
modesty and expressed confidence that
the candidate is sure of election by at
least 50,000 Mr.. Campbell, who is at
his home in Bath, declared tonight
that his increased estimate was based
on late Information which indicated
that a landslide for the democratic
party might be expected tomorrow. He
thought it not improbable that Mr..
Coler's plurality might run as high as
$1,000 votes. Mr.. Coler himself is very
sanguine, being sure tonight that the
governorship will be his by a plurality
of $4,000 votes.
Colonel George George w. Dunn,
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee, on the other hand, stands fast
to his original estimate of 1000 plural
ity for Odell, which is practically the
same as that of the candidate himself.
John N. Carlisle, chairman of the
democratic executive committee, said
to-day that while he did not look for
democratic landslide he was satisfied
that Coler would have plurality of at
least $4,000 votes and that he would
carry eight or ten counties outside Of
Greater New York, including Erie and
Albany.
Despite the enormous divergence of
estimates there is at the last moment
practically no change in the betting, the
odds remaining at two to one on Odeil,
with few very large wagers reported.
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, could see no reason tonight
for changing his estimate of 10000 plu-
rality for Coler in Greater New York.
Of this he expects $4,000 votes to be
contributed by Manhattan and the
Bronx, 10000 by Brooklyn, 5000 by
Queens and 1000 by Richmond. Re-
publican estimates refuse to concede
more than $4,000 in Manhattan and the
Bronx and cut down Brooklyn to 14,ooo,
reducing the democratic plurality below
the Bronx to about $4,000, or just about
half Mr. Murphy's figures.
Leaders of both parties agree that
there is little likelihood of any radical
change in the complexion of the con-
gressional delegation of New York
county, the results in many districts be-
ing foregone conclusions.

HARD TO MAKE TT EFFECTIVE.
New Louisiana Law Regarding Whites
and Blacks oar Street Cars.

New Orleans, Nov. 3.-The new state
law requiring street railway compan-
les to provide separate accommodations
for whites and blacks went into effect
to-day and is being enforced with diff
ficulty. The company has reserved the
rear seats for negro passengers and
placed screens in the cars, but since the
recent strike the decrease in the num-
ber of cars operated Is SO great that all
of them are generally crowded to the
guards. The whites consequently are
insisting on riding in seats set aside for
blacks, and overwhelmed by superior
numbers. the conductors are finding it
practically impossible to make the law
effective.

COLONEL SWATNE RECALLED
Preparations for Expedition Against
the Had nIUIIah.

Alden, Arabia, Nov. 3.-Colonel
Swayne has been temporarily recalled
to England, where he will act as ad-
wiser to the foreign office. General
Manning has assumed command of the
British Somaliland expedition. Three
thousand men will begin to advance
against the MulIah about November 27.
This delay is due to the fact that Cen
eral Manning is dispensing with the In
dian troops in the belief that the native
levies are more effective.
1t is rumored in native quarters that
the Mullah has raided an advance Brit
ish outpost in the vicinity of Bohotle,
Somaliland, capturing a large camel
transport
