HEARSTIS STILL TO
Be RECK0AED WITH
TOTAL HEARST VOTE IN GREAT.
ER NEW YORK is OVER TO-
ooo-TAMMANY MAORI.
TY ONLY 10000.

y NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Though Lead.
er Murphy, Of Tammany Hall, has a
clear majority Of 10000 for his sheriff
and judges, he failed to bury Hearst
as he claimed he would do.
Many Tammany men hoped for a
plurality OF G5,OOO. the same as the
Hearst-Tammany plurality Of 1906.
This would have proved that Hearst
did not count In New York politics
and that Tammany was the whole
thing.
Instead Of this the Tammany candi.
dates polied only $4,000 plurality, and
the Hearst candidates for judge Of the
Court OF Appeals, who had no other
Endorsement, polled total Of 3S,S00
votes In Manhattan and Bronxx Dor
oughs out OF n grand total Of 219, 1900
In Brooklyn the Hearst judges receiy'
ed $4,000 votes as against the com
bined Republican.Democratic votes Of
$4,000. These figures indicate the
total Hearst vote In Greater New York
to be over 7O,00O-a formidable body
which politicians will have to figure
on in fsture campaigns.
"A few Republicans blame their de
feat to the Parsons-Hearst fusion on
sheriff and the minor judges. but the
Hearst people claim that the Republl
cans would have been much worse off
without them.

showed some strength on fairly active
demand BY shorts. The market was
bearishly affected blythe weakness OF
corn. The close was steady. Primary
receipts were G54.Ooo bushels. Mime.
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re.
ceipts OF 4G7 cars.
The government crop report was the
chief factor in the corn market. It es.
timated the total yield Of corn at q.
553, $4,000 bushels. which Is 143.900,-
900 bushels above the estimate made
by the government one month ago. 1t
had been expected that the report
would show smaller yield than the
previous figures. A general rush to
sell followed the publication! of the re.
port and caused break Of more than
lie from the high point Of the day. The
close was weak. Local receipts were
CT cars.
Oats were weak on moderate selling
by longs. The break In corn was the
chief depressing influence. Local re-
ceipts We're So cars.

fair demand by shorts. A &c to 15c
advance in the" closing quotations for
live hogs strengthened the price.

~ sv>sstpsss
He Was Crazed by Cocaine.

Considerable excitement was Gre
ated along the Gulf and Ship Island
Railway in the northern part of the
city late Yesterday afternoon by
young neg who was getting entirely
too near 70 u,tdre to be within the
limits of aecencY. Having divested
himself Of al clothing, he was saunter-
ing around among tSe residences in
that section of the city. when citizens
of the vicinity called for the police
and Mr.. A. H. Innerarity responded.
Upon arrival, he found. that quite
party of citizens had chased the coon
into the nearby woods and were en-
deavoring to capture him.
When the party located the coon and
made an effort to arrest him he resist
ed and in the scuffle that ensued be-
tween himself and Mr. Broom a shot
gun loaded with small shot was dis
charged, the load taking effect in
the negro's lower limbs, after which
he meekly surrendered.
He had removed his clothing near.
the spot where he was captured and
Mr.. Innerarity sent for them, made
him make himself presentable to the
jailer and brought him in and lodged
him in the county Jail. The negro is
about % years of age and has re-
sided in and around Hattiesburg for
some time
After being placed in Jail his wounds
were examined by a physician who
declared them of little consequence,
the shot having barely penetrated the
skin.
Jailer Rawls says that since the
negro has been locked up he has not
uttered a word, but continues to num-
BILE and refused to partake of his sup
per.
While there are those who think the
negro is crazy the general opinion is
that he had partaken of too much CO
caine or other dope" and that as soon
as he sleeps his dreams away he
will be willing to retain his clothing
and will have received lasting lesson
against the use of cocaine.

been raised. Most of the spot sub
scriptions were for $40 or more.
The Jackson lodge has been asked
to raise $1,000 of the $4,000 necessary
to build and endow the home, and the
members have no fear of not being
able to raise that amount in short
while.

BEAST BIG FEMALE.
News Confirmed But Details Not
Known.

Stamboul La, October 1S.-The
President killed bear late yesterday
afternoon.
Few details of the Presidents bear
killing are known except that 1t took
place late yesterday afternoon after
he and the other hunters with him
had followed the dogs in the chase
through the jungles for four hours.
The beast was female of the black
variety, and was beyond the average
size. The fact that she was secured
at all is attributed to the staying quail
tiles of the new dogs. The news was
brought in by courier, who arrived
from Bear Lake this morning. The
exploit has given heart to the camp,
and the hunters are now working with
renewed vigor in the hope of making
a brilliant finish.

RAILROAD MAY
Leave JACKSON
in The LURCH
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
jackson, October 1S.-No satisfac-
tory conclusion has been reached be-
tween the citizens and the promoters
of the New Orleans and Great North
ern Railroad as to the right of way
into Jackson from the south. The
matter stands practically as it has
since the visit of President Goodyear
and several other officials several
weeks ago
The railroad people contend that the
price asked for the land in the south
ern suburbs, and which was awarded
by an eminent domain jury several
months ago, is exorbitant and hatlly
refuse to build their road over that
route unless the price is reduced
something like one-half, while the
owners of much of the land stand
firm for the price awarded, some of
them contending that it is dirt cheap
for it and blaming the eminent do
main jury for not making it more.
1t is understood that a corps of sur
veyors are to be here in a few days
to survey a new right of way little
further over to the east, in the hope
of getting a right of way near the old
route at lower cost.
| Two things are evident as to the in
| tentions of tn oefficials of the road.
| They desire to get in over what is
known as the Commerce street route,
and they will not pay the price asked
for the land. They do not want to
come in over the line of another road
nor do they relish the idea of taking
a route to the west of the other roads
but one or the other of these plans
win be adopted unless they can get in
on the east side for less money than
the $4,000 demanded for the right
of way under the present survey.

When this telegram came in this
morning Mr.. Parker almost danced
with joy, it was only his dignity that
held him in sway.
There is rejoicing in all corners OF
the Pelican State. When the big bear
consented to sacrifice his life for the
honor of the state, he set himself
down as hero of the nation. All
honor to him Bruin is gone, and his
family may grieve. DR.. Long may sit
back in his easy chair in New York
and ask: "Who is nature fakir?'
but Louisiana and the United States in
general are in the throes of enjoy
ment.
East Carroll Parish has sustained
It's reputation as bear center. All
knockers must trail with downcast
ewes to a thicket more dense than that
in which bruin was found.
