Bingham pitched the first game and Needham the second. In the second game only four members of the regular team played. the remainder of the nine being made mp of such ma terial as could be picked up and the boys hardly expected any thing but defeat. The Elm Springs team came up and played the locals Saturday afternoon, the latter winning, 10 to 4. Theron Slaughter did the box work for the locals. and consider ing the fact that he makes no pretense as pitcher, did very good work.

DONAGHEY'S MAJORITY
 ESTIMATED AT 65,OOO.
TOdhunter Defeated for Sheriff of Washing ton ty.--Republican Judge Elected
 in Benton County.


 seems as Ii $. l.. Todhunter, Democratic nominee for sheriff of Washington County, was deteat- ed by his Republican opponent, J. c. Reed. The official count of ali the townships except Spring. dale, and It IS known what the vote in this township was, gives Read a ajority of 2S. No more surprising result ever occurred Ill any election, and even those who were putting up the most bitter fight against Todhunter hardly anticipated his defeat. Different elements contributed 10 his de- feat. Some Democrats opposed him because they claimed he was lined up with the whisky and gambling element, and on the other hand he Was opposed by certain of this latter element be- cause of his vigilance IS bring ing them to justice. IL IS also probable that some of Mullol- land and Caudle's friends were against him because of his defeat of their candidates in the prl- mary.
 The remainder of tile Demo- cratic ticket is elected by the usual majorities. Donaghey's majority in the county will be about 1200.Z Horsley has carried the eountyfor prosecuting at torney by from 500 to 700. He seems to have carrled every county in the district, his ma jor- ity being 20 ln Carroll County.
 Although It is not possible to to give exact results at this time. latest reports are that Donaghey has carried the state for gover- nor by a majority estimated at 5000, and the balance of the state ticket is elected by practlc- ally the same vote.
 Amendment No. 10Zwas de- feated in the state by decisive majority. The fate of Amend ment No. 9 is still in doubt. AL though 1t received a majority in almost every county, to insure its adoption 1t must get a majority of all votes cast at the election.
 The returns indicate that there will be no material change i'll the number of counties permitting the sale of liquor. Hampstead and Prairie Counties, which were formerly dry voted wet but this is offset by Sevier and St. Francis, winch have been trans ferred from the wet" to the dry column. The total vote in the state shows an increased major fly against license.
 Springdale Township boiled 497 votes Monday, the largest in the history of the township. The voting was slow, and all through the day a line of voters stood in front of the polling place await ing their turn to vote. On ac- count of the length of the ticket the count was not completed un- til Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
 The result shows there was considerable scratching, especial ly in the sheriff's race, and the biggest surprise of the election was the loss of the township to $. l.. Todhunter, who was beat en 30 votes by his Republican opponent. While 1t was known there was some opposition to Todhunter, his friends had no thought but what he would car ry the township by good ma jority, consequently but little work was done in his behalf on election day, while those who

ETHE Episcopal Council which met in
this city yesterday made no mistake in
elevating Rev. Bergman Green to the
Lishopric. We have biblical authority
that the prayers of the righteous avail
much. During the past month prayer
has been offered in all the churches in
the diocese that the delegates to the
council be spiritually guided in the Sc
lection of bishop aud this prayer seems
to have been answered in the fullest
measure and of course proves the righte-
business of those who offered it. Mr..
Green possesses every qualification that
belts a bishop. de is in the prime
of life; is a scholar; fine preacher; Is
broad In his views aud sympsthieS and
commands not only the respect but the
love of all With whom he is thrown. de

No Compromise Yet.

Especial dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette
Richmond, Va, Dee. lit now
trauspirss that the railroad lawyers at
their conference with the Corporation
Commissioners and the Attorney Cen
era! yesterday made no definite over
ture looking towards compromise
of the pending litigation, though it is
no longer secret that transportation
companies are seriously embarrassed by
the present situation aud az far from
telling that they have the whip hand In
the fight. The attorneys for the rail-
roads now purpose insfituting new pro-
ceedings aud beginning the whole fight
over before the Corporation Commission.
Such contrast, it should be explained,
would be an appeal to the equity of that
tribunal aud would be based Or present
conditions. If such new proceedings
are instituted and the decision of the
commission is averse to the railroads,
then, according to the recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court,
they can appeal to the Supreme Court OF
Virginia and from that tribunal to De
the federal courts. During all this
period covered by snch fight, the
present two cent rate would continue.
