The following States will elect new
Legislatures Nov. 9: Nevada—Senate
and Assembly; Washington—Senate
and Assembly.

New York State Democratic.

New York, Nov. 3.—The Democratic
iandslide in this city proved too much
for the Republican candidate for the
Court of Appeals, and although Judge
Wallace’s vote up the State was good
for 48,000, Alton B. Parker’s election is
assured.

Albany, Nov. 3.—-—Returns indicate a
Republican majority in the Legislature
upon a joint ballot of twenty votes.
The vote of the State was one-third less
than last year.

Judge Parker’s majority is 60,000.

New Jersey.

Jersey City, Nov. 3.———The vote in Jer~
sey City yesterday was very light. It
fell nearly four thousand below the
registry. The registry was 27,667, and
the vete 23,747. The vote last year was
33,099, or 9.3% more than this year. The
Democratic candidates for Assembly
have a plurality of about 3,500. William
Delaney and Charles Hoffman, Demo-
cratic candidates for Coroner, have the
same plurality. The plurality in the
county will reach 7,000.

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 3.—-New Jersey
is again Republican by a plurality over
all, but the Democrats made large
gains in Passaic, Sussex, Hunterdon
and Cape May. This was owing in part
to the severity of the storm early in
the day, which kept Republicans at
home, and to disaffection over county
tickets.

The Senate will probably contain a
Republican majority of 13 instead of.
18, as last year, giving the Democrats
8 members.

The Assembly will have a safe. Re-
publican majority of about 35.

In the contests for Surrogate and
County Clerk candidates for legislative
ofiice were bowled over on both alleys.
Democrats suffered as well as the Re-
publicans in this particular. This was
the case in Mercer, where Corey, for
Clerk, is credited with defeating Gum-
mer, while the entire Republican As-
sembly is elected.

The State Senators elected in
Jersey yesterday are:

Burlington—Howard E. Packer, Dem.

Cape May—Robert E. Hand, Rep.

Hunterdon—John R. Foster, Dem.

uMiddlesex — James H. Van Cleef,
Dem.

Passaic—Christopher Braun, Dem.

Sussex—Lewis J. Martin, Dem.

The Senate now stands: Republi-
cans, 14; Democrats, 7. ‘

Newark, Nov. 3.——-Essex County elects
entire Republican ticket by 4,000.

Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.—The Republi—
can city ticket, headed by Col. Clayton
McMichael for City Treasurer, was
elected by majorities exceeding 50,000,
and the plurality for the Republican
State ticket will also go beyond that
figure. Swallow, the Prohibitionist
candidate for State Treasurer, received
many votes from those who have not
heretofore‘voted the Prohibition ticket.

Reports from all over the State show
a light vote everywhere.

Harrisburg, Nov. 3.—About 70 per
cent. of last year’s vote was polled.
The Republican ticket has about the
usual off-year majorities in the State.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.—-The factiOnal
fight among Republicans has resulted
in a small vote throughout the State.

L. G. McCauley, Auditor-General, and
J. S. Bacon, State Treasurer, were
elected with usual majorities.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-—-The returns
from the election came in slowly, but
enough are at hand to indicate that the
Republican State ticket has been elect-
ed. but by a plurality of more than
100,000. Comparatively little interest
was shown, and as a result an unusu-
ally low vote was polled.

James S. Beacom, the Republican
candidate for State Treasurer, will
probably be elected by a plurality of
120,000. Dr. Silas C. Swallow, the Pro-
hibition nominee for that office, will
show a large vote, for among his s‘up-
porters were a large number of dis-
gruntled Republicans and an equal
number of Democrats. who, seeing that
their party had no chance, decided to
support the Prohibition nominee. Levi
G. McCauley, the Republican candidate
for Auditor-General, will defeat his
Democratic opponent, Walter G. Ritter,
by an overwhelming plurality.

’ In the city election here the Republi-
can ticket had practically a walkwer.
Horatio B. Hackett and Col. (Ilanton
McMichael are elected by more than
the usual party majority to the ro-
spective offices of Register of Wills and
City Treasurer.

Ohio Democratic.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 3.-The Stz-ix‘
concedes that the State has gone Dem-
ocratic for Governor.

Indications are that Hamilton a;.:l

L‘uyalioga counties go Democratic.

- The Democrats have carried the Leg-
.slature, and Hanna is beaten.

.Gov, Bushnell has carried Ohio in his
campaign for re-election by about 25,-
000, plurality, and the indications are
lhata‘Republican Legislature has been
chosen, which Will secure the return of
Mr. Hanna to the United States Senate.
- The Republican State Committe con—
cede the loss of Hamilton, County, but
say that therewere not sufficient re-
turns from Cleveland on which tobase
.‘my estimate. _With the loss of four—
t‘ee‘n' members of the Legislature in
Hamilton County, and also of twelve
members in Cuyahoga County, the Re-
publicans do. not expect to carry the
Legislature. The Republican State
Committee say confidently that they
will carry Cuyahoga andmake gains in
other counties. They say that they had
anticipated losSes in the cities on ac-
count of local fights on bossism and
other'factional troubles, but that they
had the best reports from the rural
districts. ’

A heavy rain prevailed all day, and
this no doubt affected the rural vote.
The Republican gains Seem to come
from the rural Democratic counties
and the Democratic gains from the Re-
publican counties in which the large
cities are.

The Republicans by go means con-
cede the loss of their State or of the
control of the Legislature, but admit
that the result will be close on both.
Owing to the condition of the roads
the bicycle couriers are having trouble
In giving the prompt service that was
expected from the rural precincts.

Massachusetts.

Boston, Nov. 3.—Gov. Wolcott is re-
elected by a vote of 168,875. George
Fred Williams receives 81,295.

Wolcott’s plurality last year was 158,-
363.

Springfield, Mass., Nov. 3. —Gov.
Roger Wolcott, Republican, was re-
elected by an estimated plurality of
38,000 over George Fred Williams, Dem-
ocrat. This is a falling off of the Repub-
lican plurality of 1896, when the same
candidates were in the field, of nearly
[0,000 votes. The Republican vote fell
away 30 per cent. from that polled last
year, and the Democratic vote fell off
to per cent.

The entire Republican State ticket is
elected by substantially the same plu-
rality as that given to Gov. Wolcott.
The Republicans will also control the
Legislature by the usual preponder-
ance. The Democrats, however, have
made slight gains in House and Sen-
ate, regaining the seats normally
theirs which were won by the Repub-
licans in the tidal wave of 1896.

Iowa.

Des Moines, Nov. 3.—-This State gives
a. strong Republican majority, although
there was a falling off in the total vote
of 75,000 votes and a small Democratic
gain.

Shaw, Republican, was elected Gov-
ernor.

Maryland.

Baltimore, Nov. 3.——Indications re-

. turn the State safely Republican. This

means the retirement of Senator‘Gor-
vnan.
Nebraska.

Lincoln, Nov. 3.—-The Democrat—Pop-
ulist fusion ticket carried the State by
about twelve thousand. The vote was
light, but one important office being
voted for—that of Supreme Court
Judge.

Colorado.

Denver, Nov. 3.—Indications point to
the election of William H. Gabbert,
Populist-Democrat, for Supreme Judge
by 20,000 over Judge Hoyt, the incum-
bent, who is a candidate on both the
McKinley and silver Republican tick-
ets. There was much opposition to
Iudge Hoyt among the silver Republi-
cans on account of his acceptance of
the McKinley Republican nomination,
though he declared that such accept-
ance must not be construed as an
abandonment of the silver cause.

Kentucky Is Democratic.

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 3.—Shackleford,
the silver candidate for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, received a big vote
In the rural Democratic strongholds,
and made a winning race with the Re-
publican nominee, Bailey.

His majority in the State certainly
will be 10,000, and it may be 20,000. The
silver Democrats appear to have been
successful in their local contests.

South Dakota Republican.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 3.—Last year
South Dakota gave a majority for
Bryan and elected a. POpulist Legisla-
ture. Yesterday the Populists were
overwhelmingly defeated. The Repub-
licans elected six out of eight Circuit
Judges and have pods'ibly elected the
others. A light vote was polled, and
the Democrats generally voted for the
Republican candidates.

Virginia.

Richmond, Nov.‘ 3.—-The usual Demo-
cratic majorities were polled at yester-
day's election. The State elected an
Assembly and half the Senate.

Democratic Mayor for Buffalo.

Buffalo, Nov. 3.—Dr. Conrad Diehl,
Democrat, was elected Mayor yester-
day by 6,000 majority. The rest of the
Democratic city ticket got about 3,000
majority. District-Attorney Daniel J.
Kenefick is the only Republican surely
elected on the county ticket.

Democratic Mayor in Kingston.

Kingston, N. Y., Nov. 3.—-Willlam D.
Brennier (Dem.) is elected Mayor of
this city by 94 majority. Ulster County
gives 25,000 plurality for Parker for
Chief Judge, and elects the Democratic

, county ticket’by about 1,000.

 

Albany Elects a” Democratic Mayor.

Albany, Nov. 3.—This county gives a
Republican plurality of about 1,500,
compared with 800 in 1895. Van A1-
styne, Democrat, is elected Mayor of
Albany city.

Crippled at Football.

New Haven. Ct., Nov. ”ii—The con-
dition of Edward Miller, end on the
Boar-drnan Training School eleven‘of
New Haven, who was bruised in a
scrimmage in the game against the
Ansonia High School team on Satur-
day, has grown critical, and if he, does
not die, as is expected, he will be crip-
pied for life. His back and side are
paralyzed. Miller is‘lD years old. His
father is a local businessman.

Miss Willard Ike-Elected President.

Buffalo, Nov. 3.—Miss Frances E.
Willard was re-elected president of the
National W. C. T. U. yesterday. The
convention decided to Stand by the
Chicago Temple project, adopting the
report of Mrs. Sax-so.

 

SPAIN DON’WANTWIR

Differences With the United States
' Will Be Amicably Adjusted. :

TIPS ON SPANISH REPLY

Semi-Official Circular Indicates That
the Note “’11s of a. Conciliatory
Character—Bright Prospects for
Early Solution of Cuban l‘irobleln.

Madrid, Nov. 3,—Marshal Blanco, the
new Captain-General of Cuba, has sent
a cable message to the Spanish ‘Gov-
ernment saying he has formed a fa-
vorable opinion regarding'the pacifica-
tion of Cuba.

A semi-official note was circulated
to-day giving a more exact indication

reply to the Communication of the
United States on the subject of Cuba
than has hitherto been published.

It says the note of Spain’consists of
twenty-eight pages of folio. The first
part of the reply is a paraphrase of
the note of United States Minister
Woodford, and it concludes with the
assurances that Spain is animated by
the same friendly feeling as expressed
in behalf of the United States.

The second part of _the reply goes
into elaborate details concerning the
various filibustering expeditions which
are said to have left the United States
for Cuba, which details are based en-
tirely upon the report of Mr. Calderon

Spanish Legation at Washington.

Spain, in concluding that portion of
her reply to the United States, ex-
presses the hope that this phase of the
situation will .be changed, and that the
United States will try “to prevent fur-
ther violations of international law."

Replying to the offer of mediation
made by "the United States, Spain says
she hopes the United States will act
"loyally and orrectly in helping Spain
to pacify Cu a, especially in view of
the fact that such an extended form
of autonomist government is about to
be sincerely granted."

The general feeling here is more
houeful of a peaceful outcome of the
situation, especially since Marshal
Blanco’s arrival at Havana, as it is be‘
lieved his presence will greatly further
the solving of the Cuban problem. At
the same time it is pointed out that
the submission of the insurgents can-
not be expected unless they are en-
tirely abandoned by the United States.

SHOOTS ALL HIS FAMILY.

Killed His Wife and Daughter and
Shot Himself.

Worcester, Mass., Nov. 3.—-Edward
Hamilton, who has been for twenty-
five years employed in the Worcester
County Institution for Savings, yester-
day shot and killed his wife and young
daughter, wounded his infant son, and
then shot himself. He and the injured
boy were taken to the hospital. He
will probably die. The boy is said to
haVe a chance of recovery.

The shooting occurred at 7 o’clock at
Hamilton’s home, on William street.
Hamilton had been in ill health for
several months past, and had suffered
from neuralgia of the head. He had
practically lived on opiates for many
weeks, and is supposed to have sud-
denly become insane. The only wit-
ness to the shooting was a servant.

As soon as the news of the murder
was reported to the police men were
sent to guard the house. The servant
who had seen the affair was at once
conducted to Police Headquarters and
questioned for over an hour by Chief
. of Police Drenna. '

Hamilton was married about seven
years ago to Katherine Long, a profes-
siOnal nurse, who had nursed him dur-
ing a severe illness. Their married life
had always been regarded as a happy
one. They had two children, a daugh-
ter, Katherine, 3 years old, and a son,
Edward, 11/3 years old.

The servant being under guard, it
was difficult to get at the facts con-
cerning the shooting, but it was said
by ‘a neighbor that shots were heard
from the Hamilton home at 7 o’clock.
It is said that Hamilton was seized
with a maniacal fury shortly after
. arising, and taking his revolver, began
firing at his wife and children. The wife
and girl were almost instanly killed.
.The boy was badly wounded, and the
:father then turned the revolver on
himself.

 

 

I SUICIDE DUE TO POLITICS.

Jersey Ex-Judge Ends His Life After
Casting His Ballot.

Matawan, N. J., Nov. 3.—Former
Judge Walling, one of the best-known
Democrats of Monmouth County, com-
,mitted suicide at his home in Broad
' street, Keyport, yesterday by shooting

himself in the head. He died almost
l instantly. He was alone when he shot

himself, but the noise made by the
weapon caused neighbors to enter the
house, and they found his body. Worry

caused by the possible defeat of E. B.

Ogden, Mr. Walling’s brother-in-law,

who was the Republican candidate for

Surrogate of Monmouth County, is be-

lieved to have had much to do with the

suicide of Mr. Walling.
‘ For ten years he was presiding judge
' of the Monmouth County Court, which
gave him a reputation all over South

Jersey. He retired about five years

ago. ,

l A short time before killing himself

Judge Walling went to the polling
gbooth and asked Dr. Bogardus, the
‘ chairman of the Democratic Commit-

tee. for a straight Democratic ballot.

He voted and then returned to his

home. Almost immediately afterwards

he shot himself.

Thirteen Firemen Hurt.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.—Duriag the
progress of a fire at -B0rnat's dyeing
and scouring establishment yesterday
a large can of benzine exploded. Thir-
teen firemen were so seriously burned
that they had to be taken to the hos-
pital.

It is feared that some of them may
lose their eyesight. The loss by the
fire was slight.

 

Wanting on Thcir War Paint.

Washington, Nov. 3.—The Indian
trouble in Colorado is over. Gen. Otis,
at Denver. telegraphed the War De-
partment that the Indians were re-
turning to their agencies, and that
there was not truth in the report about

 

excitement atOuray and White Rock.

sLoooSHsb m KENTUCKY.
:‘hree Mien Killed and Several Others
\Vounded in an Election Fight.

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 3.—.-Election day
was ushered in by a bloody ,encounter
between,Republicans and Democrats,
resulting in the death of three men
und't‘ne’ wounding of» several others.-

The difficulty began about 1 a. m. by
Frank Egbert, Republican, organizing
aiparty to head off a party of Demo-
crats under the leadership of Ben.
Marshal, who, as Egbert claimed, had
takena number of negroes to the
country to prevent their voting to-day.

Egbert, it is said, with his party
awaited Marshal’s return and fired on
him from ambush, wounding seriously
lohn W. Smith and. slightly injuring
Charles Graham, a negro. Deputy
Sheriff Tes Deakins then organized a
posse and attempted to arrest Egbert
and his party. The latter appeared on
the street brandishing their revolvers.
The two partiesmet and firing began.

Fifty shots or more were fired, and
Egbert was instantly killed, while
Deakins was mortally wounded, dying
a few hours later. Howard Gore, one
of Egbert’s men, was also killed, and
Walter Gains, a negro, was severely
hurt. It is reported that he has since
died. .

The killing of three men at th
Crooked Creek voting precinct in Rock-
2astle yesterday afternoon was another
deplorable incident of the election.
Charley Payne and his friends got into
a quarrel with the supporter of an op-
p03ition candidate. Sheriff Mullens was
notified and he commanded peace. The
two parties defied him, and he shot
Payne down just as Payne drew his
revolver. A general fight resulted, and
John Lawrence and Henry Longford
also were killed. The Sheriff was not
hurt.

J. E. Wright and Jason Blackerty
shot each other dead at Junction City
yesterday afternoon. They had been
enemies for years, but the killing was
due to an election quarrel. It was a.
desperate duel, and each was shot a
number of times.

In this city the Democrats prevented
many hundreds of negroes from voting.
Republicans say as many as 2,000.' The
negroes were shut out of the polls by
quarrels of election officers and other
familiar devices. The police did not in-
terfere. Republican election officers,
who are charged with being bribed by
Democrats connived at the frauds.

GREAT SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.

Will Go Into Patagonia in the In-
‘ terest of Science.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 3.-—-James B.
Hatcher, curator of. the Department of
Vertebral Paleontology, of Princeton
University, will have charge of one of
the most important expeditions ever
dispatched to foreign lands in the in-
terest of science. The expedition will
sail on Nov. 6, and the destination is
South America. The object is the in-
vestigation of the paleontology and
geology of Southern Patagonia.

Mr. Hatcher and his party will land
of Punta Arenas, in the Strait of Ma-
gellan, and will work from that place
northward along the eastern base of
the Andes, as far as the Argentine
territory of Chubut.

The main object of the present ex-
pedition will be to complete, as far as
possible, the collections of fossil birds
and mammals already secured from
the tertiary deposits of Patagonia.
Collections will be made especially
from the Protherium and lower Santa
Cruz beds, and also a. series of the
dinosawis from the crctaceous de-
posits.

Attention will also be given to eth-
nology and a series of photographs will
be obtained representing the different
Indian tribes, as well as collections il-
lustrating the arts, every-day life, hab-
lts and customs of the plains and mari-
time tribes of the mainland Indians
and of the Terra del Fuego Archi-
pelago.

Three years will lie consumed in
these. most important investigations.

 

NEARLY ESCAPED ARREST.

A Few Months More Would Have ‘

Made Foster Safe.

Paris, Nov. 3.——Since the arrest of
William R. Foster, who is alleged to
have absconded from New York in 1888
with $193,000 belonging to the Gratuity
Fund of the New York Produce Ex-
change, and who was captured at
Neuilly, near this city, on Oct. 23, the
United States Embassy has been most
active in the case, presenting papers
relative thereto almost daily. If Fos-
ter had succeeded in avoiding arrest a
few months longer, thus comprising a.
period of ten years from the date of
his alleged crime, he would have
gained immunity from arrest in French
territory.

After leaving New York in Septem-
ber, 1888, Foster went to Switzerland,
where he lived in grand style, and was
received in the best social circles. He
also traveled extensively through
Italy, Germany, France and England.
His extradition will-probably be grant-
ed by the French authorities at the
end of the week. This is the first de-
mand for extradition that the United
States has made upon France in more
than ten years. - -

 

 

Murdered in the Highway.

Providence, Nov. 3.——-Adele Young, a
resident of Harrisville, near here, was
found dead, shot through the head, on
the highway yesterday.

He left home with a span of horses
an hour before. Private papers and
some $85 in bills were found in his
pockets. Young's horses were 200
yards from the body.

Adelaide Fayette, who found the
body, claims he heard the report of a
shot a. long distance away. - The trag-
edy is very mysterious. He was very
popular. -

Killed Her and Shot Himself.

Seymour, Ind., Nov. 3.—Ben Rosen-

feld, of the Seymour Opera House, sent

 

a bullet into his brain on the stage of,

the theatre yesterday because Ethel
Tucker, whom he loved, refused to
marry him. They were in the theatre
alone after the performance. He asked
for a kiss. She gave it to him. He
then shot himself, after again receiving
her refusal of his offer of marriage.

Mishap to the Kaiser Wilhelm.

Southampton, Nov. 3.—-The new
North German Llloyd steamship Kai-
ser Wilhelm dsr Grosse. which sailed
from New York on Oct. 26, arrived here
yesterday.. She-was delayed by the
fracture of the upper exhaust passage
of her high-pressure cylinder. The ves-
sel has been docked for repairs and
will proceed .foerrsmen to-day. _

 

 

LEA'PED TO DEATH.

Two Men Jump from a Bridge as
Test of Their Brnyery.

St. Paul, Nov. 1.-The most thrilling
double tragedy in the hisory of Minne-
sota occurred at 4.30 o’clock Saturday
afternoon at'the high bridge over the
Mississippi. -At that hour the crowd
on the bridge was horrified to see a
man’s form shoot down from the rail
on the east side of the structure. Be-
fore the rapidly descending figure
reached the water, 200 feet below, an-
other man mounted the rail and swung
off feet first.

The bodies struck the water not five
feet apart. They came up once, but
sank from view. and were no doubt
washed down the stream by the cur-
rent. Boats were procured at once,

time, but neither body was found.

It was nearly two hours before. any
trace of the identity of the men could
be obtained. In the evening it was
discovered that they were two mem-
bers of the St. Paul Cigarmakers'
Union, Henry Bergenkruger and Jacob
Amos. .

At 3 o’clock they sat in a Sixth street
restaurant. While there they got into
an animated conversation, and became
so excited that the proprietor stopped
to listen to them. Bergenkruger in-
sisted that Amos had no courage,
whereupon the latter said he had quite
as much as Bergenkruger,

Each appedred to be willing to make
any sort of a test of his bravery, and
a suggestion by tBergenkruger that
they jump from the high bridge was
eagerly taken up by his companion.

They left the restaurant talking
about the big plunge, and the next
that was heard- of them was that they
had actually made the leap.

$14,000 RECOVERED.

Proceeds of a Mail Robbery Sur-
rnndered by a Postal Clerk.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 1.—Walter B.
Houghton, of this city, who was ar-
rested Friday night charged with
stealing a registered package from the
United States mails containing $15,000,
has given $14,700 of that amount to
United States Marshal McDermott.
Houghton said, after his arrest, that
he would burn the stolen money if he
Were prosecuted. His attorney, Judge
John W. Lacey, to-day advised him to
return the money.

Houghton took the marshal to his
father's yard, where he took five one-
hundred-dollar bills from between the
boards forming the side of the barn.
Then from the earthen floor of a
chicken coop be dug up a package
containing $14,200 in gold, a watch and
chain and six diamond studs.

Houghton said that he discovered
soon after leaving Cheyenne that he
had received a registered pouch for
which he had given no receipt. Be-
tWeen Laramie and Hawlins he cut it
open, took two letters containing the
money and jewels and burned the
merchandise packages and the pouch
in the car stove.

He confessed to his mistress on his
return to Cheyenne what he had done
and gave her $300 of the stolen money.

He spent $60 and had kept the rest
intact in the hiding places described.
Houghton’s mistress, Mabel Foster,
who is in Denver, will be arrested for
receiving the stolen money.

 

NEW JERSEY ELECTION.

Republican Faction Fights May Cost
the Party Several Senators.

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 1.—Both the Re-
publican and Democratic leaders are
claiming all six of the Senators who
will be elected next Tuesday. This un-
usual condition is due to the local quar—
rels and rumored deals in Burlington,
Cape Max, Middlesex, Sussex, Hunter-
don, and especially in Passaic.

The campaign has had the effect of
bringing together the Democratic fac-
tions, and therefore the result will
have an important bearing on the fu-
ture of the two parties in‘New Jersey.
If the Democratic hopes are realized
and they elect three of the Senators
and a large minority of the Assembly.
they will be encouraged in the belief
that the people are ready to restore
them to power, and next year they will
name strong candidates for Congress,
Governor, Senators, and the Assembly,
and try to hold the United States Sen-
atorship.

 

 

The Postmaster n. Burglar.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 2.——Postmaster
James Feagles, of Newbern, Pulaski
County, was killed last night while in
the act of burglary. A storehouse
which had been robbed repeatedly was
guarded by two men, who saw a man
unlock the outer door and also all in-
ner door. While leaving the house
with a bag of wheat the man was
halted. He attempted to draw a pistol,
and both guards fired, killing him in-
stantly. Both were astonished when
they found that the dead burglar was
the postmaster. Feagles had never
been suspected of wrongdoing, but
many false keys, found in his pocket,
at other buildings in the town.

Benzlne Wrecks a House.

I-Iazleton, Pa., Nov. 2.—-Six houses
were destroyed and as many families
made homeless and a woman mortally
burned here yesterday. The fire began
in the house of Mrs. Celia Ward, 241
East Diamond avenue. She was clean-
lng furniture with benzine, and left the
can standing near a. red-hot stove. The

‘benzine became overheated, and the

explosion followed. In an instant the
woman was enveloped in-fiames. and
