An Author Scorned,

At last Governor Pennypacker, Of
Pennsylvania, has acquired a griev-
ance with which it is possible to
sympathize. Having written with
great labor book entitled The De
scent of Samuel Whitaker Penny
packer from the Ancient Counts of
Holland, with Authorities in Proof,
and published Il limited edition OF
forty copies oft, atno small expense
for private distribution among his
friends, lie is now humiiatcd at
learning that one of the recipients
has sold the lnestimable treasure al
public auction for Il paltry fifteen
dollars. According to latest advi&es
he was engaged i'll Il noble effort to
find out and punish the man who
thus scorned the gift ofthc House OF
Pcnnypacker.
Revenge in such matters calls for
a fine, Italian hand. We recommend
the course another author pursued
in Il similar case. Mr.. John kcndrick
Bangs ran across q gIft copy of one
Of his books in secondhand book
shop, still having this Inscription on
the hyleat: ITO his friend. J.
G-, with the regards and the es-
tecm of. X. Bangs, July, 1880" Mr..

to his friend again with Il second in
scription beneath: This book,
bought in a secondhand bookshop,
is represented to = CT with
renewed and reiterated regards and
esteem by J. X. Bangs, December,
1880" Then Mr.. Bangs told the
story to all the common friends OF
both. Governor Pennypaclzer is a
humOrist second to none in the
country, and we shall be grievousIy
disappointed il his revenge, when he
finds the traitor TO the line OF tn,

A citizen of Salem, Mass, til

A citizen of Salem, Mass, the
witch town, brought suit for divorce
and according to a Boston paper,
he'pr0ved the following allegations:
That his wife tore the sign from
his store, put into his tea something
that made him vomit, threw his
clothes downstairs, filled his shoes
with cold water, put swill in his
oyercoat pocket, threw water over
him as he went downstairs, put pep
per in his bed, made him sleep in
an attic, kept in her bed an iron bar
eight inches long and threatened
him with it when he approached
her, woulden't do his washing,
wouldn't mend his clothes, made
him darn his socks and sew buttons
on his shirt, spat on his toast when
he was getting his breakfast, rocked
in a sGueaky chair for hours at q
time to annoy him, put grease on
his Sunday clothes, wouldn't let
him have q fire on the coolest nights
so that he often had to 90 to bed
at a'clock p. m. TO keep warm,
and finally, that she rubbed q
butcher knife over his neck once,
and threatened to blow out his
bralns.' The man should have the
divorce, for it is evident even to the
uninltiatcd, that the woman was no
gentleman.

OHIO LEGISLATURE
WILL BE DEMOCRATIC

Columbus, O.. Nov. S.-Both houses
of the Ohio legislature will be Dem
ocratic. the last hope of the Republi-
cans vanishing with the report that
the Hamilton county delegation was
solidly Democratic. The following
statement was given the Associated
Press just before noon: Chairman
Harvey CARRIER at 1880 claims. and
has figures to back it, that Pattison
carried the state by not less than
$4,000, and the Democratic state tick
ct entire is also elected by safe plu-
raIfties. He says that the Democrats
have a large majority in both
branches of the legislature"
At $50 Chairman CARRIER returned
to Democratic headquarters, and af-
ter reading additional dispatches
from county chairmen, said, -Indica-
tions are that Pattison is elected by
from 10000 to $4,000. We have car
ried both houses of the legislature,
and will have the largest majority in
that body we have ever had"

elected their candidates for comp
troller, president of the board of al
dermen, president of Manhattan bor-
ough. president of Bronx borough,
sheriff, clerk and register of New
York county, and all coroners in the
Manhattan and Bronx boroughs. They
also elected one supreme judge, and
with the Republicans elected two
others. In Brooklyn the supreme
court justice was elected by the Re-
publicans and the municipal owner
ship league. In Kings county the mu-
nicipal ownership league elected the
sheriff, county clerk register and cor
oners. The Republicans elected dis
trict attorney in Queens county.

to see that there is a fair count of
the vote for mayor. He gave orders
to his assistants that the returns
from the 18th and Goth assembly dis
tricts be guarded carefully Tammany
leader Charles E. Murphy is the lead
er of the 18th and Congressman Tim

In the commercial district practi-
cally all bets made on Mcclellan will
be held up, pending developments.
Conservative estimates place the
amount wagered ON Mcclellan at not
less than 100000. The bets may be
held up Indefinitely, or at least until

New York, Nov. S.-The city of
New York (unofficial) gives McClel-
Ian 3,4S5 plurality over Hearst. The
total vote was, Mcclellan, 228,651:
Hearst, 225, ,166; WINS, 137,O49.
VIM. r. Hearst has issued the fol-
lowing statement: I'VE have won
this election All Tammany's fraud,
all Tammany's false registration, il
legal voting and dishonest count have
not been able to overcome the great
popular majority. A recount will
show that we have won the election
by many thousands of votes. I shall

votes for me, and who shall not be
disfranchised by any effort of crimi-
nal bosses"
Mr. Hearst will demand a recount
and if dissatisfied by this will throw
the whole matter into the courts.
The election of VIM T. Jerome, in
dependent, as district attorney, is
severe blow to Tammany, which ex-
erted all its force to beat him. The
board of aldermen is also lost to
Tammany, they having 25 members
against 3S Republicans and munic-

Party Politics Cut Little Ice.

Washington. d. c., Nov. S.-Keen
interest in the result of yesterdays
election was manifested today in ad-
ministration and political circles. Sur
prise was created by the tremendous
revulsion of political sentiment in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and by the
closeness of the vote for mayor in
New York. 1t is pointed out that par
ty politics cut little figure in Penn
sy1vania and Ohio. The returns from
other states created little interest in
the National capital.

what seems to be the approach OF
a real, live oil boom for Roswell is
now in sight, and its true worth will
soon become known Working silently
and without the usual gusto that pre-
cedes fake booms of this character,
three prominent oil men from COlora-
do and four leading business men of
Roswell have organized the Roswell
Oil Company, have made all arrange
ments to drill for OIL and are pre-
pared to do so with their own money
basing their faith on the statement
of the best oil expert in this section
of the United States, and one of the
best in the world
1t is not a Stockselling enterprise,
as practically all the stock has been
spoken for.
The incorporators of the Roswell
Oil Company are E. A. Cahoon, Ma
than Jaffa, w. c. Reid, Isaac Can
field, Lee Reynolds, DR.. J. N. Chipley
and L. B. Tannehill. The articles of
incorporation have been sent to San
ta Fe and will be published within
a few days. After that will come the
election of officers and completion of
the organization. Roswell men will
be the principal officers. The ccm-
pany has a capital stock of $4,000.
The four Roswell men are too we'll
known to need Introduction Mr.. Rey-
nolds and DR.. ChipleA are we'll known
Denver men, who were prominent in
the oil discovery and boom at Boul-
der. They came here last March and
after thoroughly investigating the
Oil Indications decided that there was
an oil basin near here. Returning two
months ago, they have been drilling
water wells near Dexter and working
out their plans for the oil company.
AS a convincing proof of their belief
in the oil situation, they sent for
Isaac Garfield, of Denver, an oil man
of As years experience, whom they
consider the best oil expert in the
United States. His report is positive
and his opinion is that beyond the
water basin in which lies Roswell,
is an oil basin, and that the supply of
oil is large
The alleged oil basin begins at a
point II miles east of Roswell. in the
Comanche Gap, and there is where
the company has taken its oil claims.
The news of the operations of this
company leaked out and hundreds Of
citizens have taken claims all around
those of the company In this way
thousands of acres for five or six
miles around the claims of the COM
pany have been claimed by individ-
uals.
The drilling for Oil will be commen-
ced within twenty days, or as soon
as the machinery arrives, the incor-
porators state. Great things are look
ed for as a result Of the drilling.
significant fact in connection
with the oil proposition is that w.
E. Egan, a representative of the Pitts
burg Oil Well Supply Company, has
arrived and established headquarters
here 1t is the practice of this com
pany to have a man follow Mr.. Can
field wherever he goes, and if he
takes up a proposition, they establish
a branch store nearby. That is the
way they did at Boulder. That is the
way they will do, Mr.. Egan says, if
oil is found here. In few days after
oil is found here, this company, rep
resenting $4,000, 900 capital, will
have an Oil well supply stock worth
$4,000 in Roswell.
