Alexandra Goes Overwhelmingly for
Martin and Swanson---Smali
Vote.

Alexandria city and county shine out
prominently today in the Martin-Swan.

predictions of those who had been using
powerful microscopes upon the cor.
poral's guard OF Jones and Glass sup
porters who are in this city and vicinity.
Neighboring counties as well as Alex
andria, it seems, saw no good reason
Why the two Virginia senators should
be made to stand aside and give place
to Messrs. Jones and Glass, and Fairfax
and Prince William are also promi-
nently perched on the band wagon.
The demand for crepe has been brisk
this morning, and several days will
have elapsed before storm cellars are
vacated.
There was virtually no contest in
Alexandria, and the tempest in tea
pot which some had stirred up was
never regarded seriously by the friends
OF the present senator's. While the
vote in Alexandria was not as heavy
as had hoped for, it was for Martin

when the result was announced last
night it surprised no one who had given
the election any thought.
At late hour, when it became
known that Martin and Swanson had
carried the state by between twenty
FIVE and thirty thousand majority,
the news was somewhat of a surprise
to the most optimistic. 1t was gen
orally agreed that their victory would
be of sweeping nature, but thes
friends of the senators were not pre-
pared to hear OF such an effectual snow
slide.
Figures showing the general result
are given elsewhere. The vote in

someone here who had nerve enough
to tell US. We all know Andy Lawrence
who was instrumental in getting up this
meeting. We all know Hearst. ard
the more We know of Hearst, the less
we want to know OF him." This
utterauce of Wheeler proved the SEN

mitteeship from Roger G. Sullivan, OF

from all parts ofthe state attended. An

forced OF excluding all save children
whose parents reside in this city, and
those living beyond the city limits, but
who own property in the city and also

DEAD MEN IN A CARRIAGE.

An automobile party on pleasure
trip, crossing one of the highest points
on the Nesqueboning Mountains, Pa. /,
shortly after noon yesterday came upon
: grewsome sight, when they discovered
tile bodies of two men in single car
riage, while the horse was quietly nib
bling grass by the roadside.
An investigation revealed that the
dead men were Contractor Joseph Zeh
ner, OF Lansford, and Samuel Watkins
OF Philadelphia. There was gaping
lole in Mr.. Zehner's forehead, ard an
examination showed that bullet had
entered the rear of his head near the
neck, coming out at the forehead.
Watkins had been shot in the left side
of the head near the temple. Both had
been instantly killed.
From a point several hundred yards
below, where the murder occurred, was
trail OF blood, and it is believed that
when the shots we're fired the horse took
fright and ran away up the steep grade
and that the outlaws, fearing detection,
we're afraid to follow. The murderers
were after big game, but got nothing
for their trouble.
1t was shortly after eight O'Clock yes
terday morning when Joseph Zehner,
a stripping contractor for the Lehgh
Coal and Navigation Company, accom-
panied by Samuel Watkins, of Phla-
delphia, left on a trip to pay the men
employed on the stripping throughout
the valley. In the rear OF the carriase
were two wooden boxes, containing in
the neighbnrhood of $4,000. This was
untouched when the grewsome find was
made.
