Masked Bdeolaks. Last sight the resi
dence of John Davis, situated on me Lancaster
Slke, about live miles from the Market street
ridge, was broken Into by burglars, wbo
efl'ecied an entrance by the use of "nippers" ou
the rear door. After gaining access, they placed
masks on their faces, and men repaired to tha
Bleeping apartment of Mr. Davis, who was
awaxened by the noUe they made. Tney
rasped him by tbe throat, and threatened him
7ltn violence If be made any noise or oUered
any resistance. He replied that be had been a
-very sick man for some time, and tbat It was
not at all likely tbat he would resist them. Oae
remained at his bedside, while two of tbe vil
lains repaired to tbe adjoining chamber. In
Wblcb Miss Davis slept, and having awakened
and admonished her not to create auy disturb
ance, ther ransacked the house from top to

did not obtain any until tbey returned to tbe
room of Mr. Davis, where they secured $700.
which was In a trunk. Among tbe auaeant
were four $100 notes and a lot of silver coin.
The scamps Bncoeeded In making their escape.

Then follow the specifications, of whloh the

And your petitioners further represent and charge
that at tbe election held in tbe sixth election,
division ol the Third ward of the said city, tbe elec
tion officers of aald division fraudulently conducted
and carried on aald eiecilun wiih a wlliul disregard
of all tbe requiremeata ol tbe lawa rcguiatlng elec
tions, by nieana or which only tbe true votes and
will of the people could be ascertained In said divi
sion. And yoor petitioners amclry tha'. the
aald election was conducted in tne following
manner, to wit: The election officers In aaid
division falsely and fraudu'ently permitted and Buf
feted a large nun. ber ol perons, cot qualified voters
of said division, to vote av said election, to the num
ber ol 67, whose volea were talceu and counted In tbe
geneial leturn for Albert W. i' etcher lor aald ollloe
of Protliouotary, wnose namos we not ou the list
lurnlsbed by tneCily tJommiaslouers to the election
olllce s. wlthoti' requiring or receiving proof ot the
qnalllicatloas of Bald voters, and without requiring or
receiving proof by a qualified elodo- or the residence
In aaid oivialon of aald voters, and without adding tne
names ol aald voters with the names ot te persons
making proof to the list furnished by tbe City Uom-
BJIShloL;B.
Tbey falsely and fraudulently permitted a large
number ot persons, to tne number of and uo
wards not qualified, to vole in anld division, wnose
vcles were taken and counted in the general return
for Albert W. Fie'cber for ihe aaid olhue of Protnono
tary, whose names aie to your petitioners unknown,
wbo voted In the names of those who ware upon tbe
list inrnisbed by the City Commissioner to the elec
tion (Ulcers of said division.
They falsely and fraudulently neglected and re
fused to mark tbe letter "V" opposite tH9 names of
all vou ) a on the Hat furnished by tbeOI'y Commh
Bloners aforesaid, who voted In said division, thereby
ntgUctlng to make the record required oy law of the
names and residences of those who voted.
Tbey fraudulently lefused to receive proofa' or
inquire Into tbe quallflcatlor s of voters whose right
to vote was lenaUv chuilenced.
Tbey la'sely and fraudulently received the votes of
Dcn-resiueotu oi sum election division, not qualified
vuiero lueieui, v wu neutiua.
Hi a' all said acta were done and committed with
tbe Intent and purpose of holding an undue election,
and with the deaire to prevent an honest expression
of the popular will at said election, and a true ascer
tainment of the real votes of tbe qnailtled voters re
tiding In salddivlsion wbo voted at said election; and
tbatln pursuance ol said conduct on ibe Dart or tbe
1,0110a otuccra, ana inn wicked raoa evil disponed
ptiEuna who aided and abetted them In their netarlous
designs, tbe pooular will of Ibe voters In aald division
was not ascertained, but was defeated; and your
petitioners thereby cna'ge that the said election ao
held In said division was lalse, frauiulent. undue, and
void, and tbe retnrn thereof lalse. and should be
stricken from the general return, and be wholly dis
regarded. 1 bat at aaid election In said division the returns of
votes received, taken, and counted in the general
return tor Prothouotary was:

gan baa been duly elected to the office of Frotbono
tary or Ibe Court of Corr mn l'leaa for tbe City and

THB DISTRICT ATTOBKT.
Tbe petition of the citizens contesting the
election of Furman Hheppard to tne otlioe of
District Attorney is nearly similar to tbat In
the case ot tbe Prothonolary of tbe Court of
Common Pleas. The general return ot votes
sets forth 61.1b5 for Mr. Hheppard, and 69,8110
for Mr, Gibbons, giving the former a
majority of 1275 yotei; whloh they allege
to be a false and fraudulent return,
declaring lhat In truth Mr. Sneppard did not
receive more than 75,000 volea, aud Mr. Gib
bone did receive at least 67.6)0, whlcb would
give tbe latter a majority of 2UW).
In tbe first place, ir, u alleged that in tha
general return lo4 votes were counted for Mr
bheppard, whloh should bave been 2130- and'
2438 lor Mr. Gibbons, wbloh should have'been
2389, maaing un error of 813 votes that should
bave been added to Mr. Bheppard'a majority

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph,
Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 23. Both parties
claim the State; tbe Democrat by 3000 majority.
Tbe Republicans give no figures, bnt are sure
of tbe State. The Demoorais carried Ohio
county by abont 200 average majority.
Returns thus far do not Justify tbe Domoorats
in arriving at such conclusions.
The Republicans are In good spirit.
Tbe returns are coming In very slowly; no

Kxclteinent.
San Francisco, Oct. 22. The earthquake is
still the topi e of conversation. A slight tremor
or two have been felt to-day. The total of the
casualties worth mentioning do not exceed
thirty. There were only five persons killed,
thoueh in one or two Instances persons who
were struck by falling bricks and timber may
die of the Injuries received.
A committee of the Board of (Supervisors,
assisted by several architects, to day held a
survey of the City Hall, fire engine houses, and
other publlo buildings. The examination of
the City Ball shows that the walls are badly
cracked from the ground floor upwards, and
the aisles are mostly mined. The Post Office
clerks have resumed their duties. The Post
Office occupies the lower story of the Custom
House building. Had It not been for extra
anchors and ties put Into the Custom House
building after tbe earthquake of 1805, It Is pro
bable that the greater portion of the structure
would bave fallen to the ground.
The old Merchants' Exchange, on Battery,
street, opposite the Custom House, and whloh
for some years past has been occupied by the
United States Courts, was considerably injured.
There is a large fissure In the north wall of the
building.
The Custom House and old Merchants' Ex
change are on made ground, beyond the origi
nal water front of the oily. Their foundations
rest on piles. The old Exchange waa severely
shattered by the earthquake oi 1663. The new
Merchants' Exchange, on California street, was
allkhtlv ln.luted. Tue ornamental work on the
building occupied by tbe Bank of California
was thrown down. Tue balustrade and chim
neys are being removed.
Although a huudred buildings In the city
bave been damaged more or less, a thorougu
examination proves that those buildings walcn
have been properly constructed will stand
much heavier snooks lhau those of yesterday.
The Occidental and CostnoDolltan hotels aud
tbe Lick House and the Ross House, the largest
buildings In tbe city, are uninjured, except tbat
in some tufauiiuea tue ominueys were thrown
down and the plastering cracked. These build
ings are all on solid ground.
The damaice west of Montgomery street wan
very alight, 'very few Dulldtnaa occupying soUd
grounu BnowiDg any oainage wnatever.
To-day's texamlnalloh only cou firms yes
terday's report, that the greatest wreck of
buildings and destruction of properly wereoon
fined to tbe eastern and southern portions of
tne city, wuere ouiiaings are erected on
maae grouna.
Business was resumed as usual to-day.
The United States steamer Ojslpee sailed
to-day on a cruise.
The murderer of Captain Mltohell. of the
United Slates steamer Ssganaw, bas been ar
rested. Ue says that tbe Captain threatened
bis life, and he knocked him down In self
