Landslide on the. Democratic Side
4 Republicans Beaten by 1,600.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 13.—The
municipal election here yesterday re-
sulted in landslide towards the Demo-
cratic, si Col. E. Watkins, Demo-
crat, was elected Mayor over Thomas
McDermott, Republican, by a majority
of 995. Two years ago the Democratic
candidate went in by a majority of less
'than one hundred, and in the last
twenty years a Democratic Mayor has
been an exception. Six out of eight
Democratic Councilmen were elected,
the Republicans losing heavily in every
ward.

The Democratic gains are ascribed to
the exceptional popularity of Col. Wat-
kins, thorough organization and the

, difficulties the negroes had in voting,
' the election being under the Australian

Ballot law.
TOM WATSON AGAIN.

 

Big Fusion Arrangement to Run Inn)
for Governor of Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 13.—A comIbination

which threatens to give the Democracy

1 of the State a Ihard tussle in she Gulber-

nh1t10ria'1 election next year has grown

' out of a conference between State Sen-

ator Yancey Carter, 1th Populist stand-
.ard—Ibearer of the "Stall/‘6, with-Walter
Untitled Stat-es Marshal, and
Edward A. Angler, District Attorney,
-‘a1futer which Ithe announcement was
made that the Georgia Repulblilcans

‘ would support Thomas E. Watson for

Governor in the next campaign. Wat-
son will also be on the ticket of ‘the
Prohibition party and the Farmers’ Al-
liance, and his popularity in recent
days renders it possible that some of
the Democratic vote will go to him.
The leader's of the machine Democracy
will exert themselves to counteract Ithe
influence of this arrangement.

Sheriff Sues Paper and Preacher.

Jersey City, Oct. 13.—Sheriff William
Heller, of Hudson County, N. J., has
instituted a libel suit aganist the Even-
ing Journal, of Jersey City, claiming
$50,000 damages.

The declaration sets forth that the
Sheriff is 'charged with having de-
liberately,
caused men to come before the
court to serve as Grand Jurors.
and while serving as such jurors
to do the dirty work of protecting
crime and criminals. The article, the
declaration says, has greatly injured
the good character of the Sheriff, and
leads many to whom he is unknown to

'j TWO'WOMEfi KILLED. , \
Mother and Daughter Murdered by
Burglar-s in Camden.

Camden, N. J., Oct. 13. —-There is still
great excitement over the murder
which occurred in this city early yes-
terday morning, when desperate bur-
glars short and killed two women who
endeavored to save their property from
the thieves. The murderers; escaped,

v

 

 

- by a pistol shot.
A down stairs, and at the bottom of the

and thus far have eluded capture.

Mrs. Emma Vane, aged 65 years, was
instantly killed, and her daughter, Mrs.
Sallie Shaw, expired in less than half
an hour, without regaining conscious-
ness.

The two women lived at 242 Line
street, in the lower part of Camden,
near the river front. It was about 4. 30
o’clock when the police discovered the
crime. Eli Shaw, a son of Mrs. Shaw,
was seen at the third-story window
and was shouting for the police at the
top of his voice. The young man has
.been ill with typhoid fever, and in a
statement to the police said that he
was awakened shortly after 4 o'clock
He made his way

third-story stairs found his mother
bleeding and unconscious. He ran to
the window and gave the alarm.

When the police entered the house
they found Mrs. Vane sitting in a chair
in the sitting-room dead, with a bullet
wound in her head. Mrs. Shaw Was at
once removed to the Cooper Hospital,
where she died in a few minutes, with-
out making any statement.

The shock incident to the tragedy
has caused a relapse in the condition
of Mrs. Shaw’s son, and it is feared will
result fatally. An examination of the
house showed that a. rear shutter had
been forced open, and a bureau drawer
on the second floor had been ran-
sacked.

Reward Oifered.

Mayor VVescott this afternoon au-'
thorized the offering of $500 reward
for the arrest and conviction of the
murderers.

The police think it possible the rob-
bers knew Mrs. Vane had money in
the house, and, not knowing‘it had
been paid out, were searching for it
when the women came upon them.

Eli Shaw, the son and grandson, was

 

corruptly and unlawfully

suspect him of having been guilty of
‘and the racing public generally are

such offences.

Sheriff Heller has also instituted libel
proceedings against the Rev. A. Ken-
nedy Duff, pastor of the United Pres-
byterian Church, in West Hoboken.
The Rev. Mr. Duff, in a sermon
preached about two weeks “"1. openly
accused Sheriff Heller of .:g his
Grand Juries for the exp“; purpose
of shielding gamblers and permitting
them to ply their trade.

The League Island Dry Dock.

Washington, Oct. 13.—The Pennsyl-
vaaia delegation in Congress are much
concerned about the fate of the pro-
posed new dry dock for the League
Island yard; Representative Adams
came. to Washington Monday, and was
at the Navy Department to consult
with the naval officials in regard to the
matte-r. He has entered vigorously in-
to the matter, and 'says that unless the
department accedes to the demand of
the Pennsylvania Congressmen there
will be a big fight on hand next VVin-
ter. From all that can be learned at
the Navy Department, it is thought
that Secretary Long will not pay any

rigorously examined by two Philadel-
phia detectives last night, but at the
end of their inquiry he was not de-

tained. The police say that the glass

of one of the kitchen windows, sup-
posed to have been smashed by the
burglars while gaining entrance to the
house, was broken from the inside.

American Racers in England.
London, Oct. 13.—American horsemen

looking forward with unusualinterest
to the result of the Cesarewitch Stakes,
to be run to-day at Newmarket. Apart
from the intrinsic value of the event it
possesses a certain fascination for the
adherents of the Stars and Stripes ever
since Foxhall Keene beat a. field of
eighteen in 1881, and then emphasized
his quality by picking up a penalty of
fourteen pounds and winning the Cam-
bridge Stakes two weeks later. -

America makes a bold bid for a re-
vival of the Foxhall sensation this
year, and is'well represented in both
handicaps. The notable Yankee—bred
ones in to—day’s race are August Bel-
mont’s Keenan and J. R. Keene’s' St.
Cloud II. The former is a 5-year-old,
whose form previous to his exportation
from here is well remembered. St.
Cloud II. is a 3-year-old who ran third
to the famous Galtee More in the St.
Leger recently. He was then meeting
the Irish crack at practically even

”weights, while now he has a concession

attention to the demands of the repre-i

sentatives from Pennsylvania, but will
follow the advice of the dock experts
of the Navy Department, and that he
will not make anywrecommendation to
Congress for the location of one of the
new docks at League Island. Senator
Penrose and other Congressmen, while
in Washington recently, intimated that
they were prepared to fight hard for
the new dock, and will take the matter:
into the Senate and House of Repre—
sentatives, if need be.

Syracuse’s Jubilee.

Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 13.—This city
to-day is getting over its holiday in
honor of its semi—centennial. In fact“
‘the city has been incorporated onlyi
forty-”nine years, seven months, but'
yesterday was fixed by the authorities
as the civic holiday, as the Fall
weather would be more suitable for the
public demonstration. There was a
grand parade, in which 15, 000 persons, :
representing nearly all the organiza-
tions of the city, took part.

The parade was five miles long, and
was three hours in passing the review-
ing stand in Clinton square. Many
elaborate floats representing the city’s
growth were in the procession. On the
reviewing stand was a living flag of
600 school children in red, white and
blue dresses.

Killed by a Tornado.

Elizabeth, N. J., Oct. 13.—A tornado
passed over this city yesterday after-
noon, and after blowing down a house
on Rankin street and killing a man,
seemed to rise in the sky and pass
'awdy to the north. Its path was
marked by uprooted and broken trees
leveled fences and damaged buildings
extending in a torturous line for near-
ly three miles from the lowlands into
the manufacturing district to the high-
er territory of the residential section
in the northwest. The greatest dam-
age was in the lowlands, where the
wind had an unbroken sweep across.
miles of salt meadows.

Havana, Oct. 10.—Senor Don Manuel

den, in Havana, has arrested Jailer Jose

y Cisneros escaped.

Ramgn Garcia is the custodian of the
cell and door keys, and the judge wants
to know if the young Cuban lady did
not merely walk out of the main door,I
and with the consent of Quintana and
Garcia.

cal health is good, his eye is bright,
