Tom Johnson Knocked Out in Ohio. In Ohio Tom Johnson attracted much attention in his campaign for Governor. He never was considered as anywhere near it, and during the last week practically gave it up, but was confident of electing a Democratic assembly and thus would be able to defeat Mark Hanna for the United States Senate. It is claimed that the cor- porations sent old Mark over a million dollars to help him pull through, as John- son was chasing him hard. There is every indication that the Re- publicans have won by an almost record- breaking majority, estimated at midnight at from 100,000 to 125,000 with a prob- ability that it will reach the highwater mark for the State of 137,000. The Republicans claim at least 60 ma- jority on joint ballot in the Legislature for the re-election of Hanna. Democrats Win in Rhode 1sland. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Nov. 4.—The Demo- crats succeeded in re-electing Governor L. F. C. Garvin yesterday, although by a re- duced plurality, but the other state offices went to the Republicans and that party will also have a working majority in the Legislature. The Senate will stand 26 Republicans and 16 Democrats, and the House 36 Re- publicans and 33 Democrats. The leading cities, Providence, Newport and Pawtucket, all sent Democratic dele- gations to the Legislature. The Result in New Jersey. TRENTON, N.J., Nov. 4.—Revised re- turns from New Jersey show that the Re- publicans bave carried Middlesex for both Senator and Assemblymen, This will make the Senate stand 14 Republicans to 7 Democrats, the same as last year’s repre- sentation. The gain of three Assembly- men by the Democrats in Union county is offset by losses in other counties. The rep- resentation in the House next year will be the same as last year, 38 Republicans and 22 Democrats. Nebraska is Republican by 8,000. OMAHA, Neb., Nov.4.—Returns received up to this evening show that Barnes, Re- publican, for supreme judge, will havea majority of at least 8,000 over Judge Sul- livan. The Republican candidates for state university regents, Allen and Whit- more, are also elected by a good majority. A Labor Mayor for San Francisco, SAN FrANcIsco, Nov. 4.—Election re- turns early to-day fairly indicate that the mayoralty victory has been won by Eugene E. Schmitz, Union Labor, the present in- cumbent, whose plurality on the partial count is now 3,434, over Henry J. Crocker, Republican candidate. Democratic Mayor for Salt Lake. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 4—Complete returns show the election of Richard P. Morris (Democrat) candidate for mayor, over Frank Knox (Republican) by 2,200 plurality. Of the fifteen councilmen the Republicans elected nine and the Demo- orats six. Towa Republican by 55,000. DES MoINES, Ia., Nov. 4.— Unofficial estimates place Governor Cummins’ plaral- ity over Jeremiah B. Sullivan, Democrat, at 55,000. Governor Cummins ran some- ‘what ahead of the remainder of the Re- publican state ticket. Fifteen Killed. Awful Accident on the Big Four Railroad Saturday Morning. Foot Ball Players Victims. One Other Man Afterward Died of His Injuries. Making Death , List Total Sixteen. Fully Fifty Others Injured. There was a Collision Between a Special Passen- ger Train and a Freight Engine With a Draft of Coal Cars. Special Had Twelve Coaches. A special train on the Big Four, con- taining 954 Lafaytette passengers,including several hundred students of Purdue uni- versity, was wrecked Saturday near River- side park, at the edge of Indianapolis, Ind. Sixteen dead have been taken from the wreck, and fifty passengers were injured, twenty-four of ‘them seriously. Among the dead are several numbers of the Purdue university football team which was to play Indianapolis for the state championship that afternoon. The special train bore the Lafayette rooters, numbering nearly one thousand. It consisted of twelve coaches, and was running as the first section at high speed. ENGINEER’S BLUNDER. At a gravel pit switch near Eighteenth street a switch engine with a cut of coal cars collided with the passenger train. The passenger engine and the first three coaches were almost totally destroyed. The first coach was crushed to splinters, the second telescoped and thrown down an embankment fifteen feet high, while the third coach was overturned and thrown across the track. There is confosion as to what caused the accident, each engineer insisting that he had the track and did not know of the other train. A deep cut pre- vented a clear view of the track. The crash of the two trains threw the coal cars through the first two coaches, iu which were many players and subs. The engine, two coal cars and two coaches were crushed into a confused mass of wreckage. Under this pile of debris were fifty or more students of the university. The uninjurzd in the rear coaches hurri- vented to aid the injured. - The work of pulling out the dead and injured was continued by the students and passengers, inclading many girls from Laf- ayette, until surgical help arrived. The hospital and surgeons’ offices were tele- phoned for aid and physicians began rush- ing up in automobiles and carriages. BODIES MUTILATED. The condition of some of the dead was frightful. One body was entirely behead- ed. Others were terribly multilated in other ways, Two of the dead, the Hamil- ton boys, were brothers. One lived in Lal- ayette and one at Huntington, Ind. The work of recovering the bodies re- quired the‘combined work of the wrecking crew, and many of the city firemen and policemen. The tender was raised with jacks and the bodies were drawn ont. All the men killed were in the first coach, which was reduced to kindling wood. OFFICIAL RETURNS OF CENTRE CO., NOV. 3rd, 1903. pinned against them. The coach held about seventy persons. Several of the injured piteously pleaded that their names be not published because of the anguish it would cause their moth- ers and fathers. A SADDENED CROWD. Down town, three miles away, twelve hundred cheering students bad arrived on a special train from Bloomington, Ind., with sturdy boys of the Indiana university eleven eager for the contest on the gridiron. They poured out of the train with bands playing and colors flying, to be met with the news of their rivals from Purdue. Instantly bands ceased, colors were lower- ed and hidden under coats. Tears follow- ed laughter and college yells faded into mournful expressions of sincere and heart- felt sympathy. In the first coach back of the engine were the Purdue foot ball team, substitute play- ers and managers. Three players, the as- sistant coach, trainer and seven snbstitute players of the university team were killed and every one of the fifsy-three other per- sons in the car was either fatally or serious- ly injured. The names of the dead follow : Grube, Charles, Butler, Ind., substitute; Farr, Charles, Veedersburg, Ind., guard; Rob- ertson, E. C.,Indianapolis, assistant coach; Roush, Walter L., Pittsburg, ‘substitute; Lowell, R. J., Corpus Christi, Texas, end- Hamilton, W.

R., Lafayette, president of the Indiana Laun- drymen’s association; McClair, Patrick, Chicago, trainer; Truitt, Samuel, Nobles, ville, Ind., substitute; Shaw, G. L., Lafayette, Ind. ; Price, Bert, Spencer, Ind.; substitute; Coates, J. C., Berwin, Pa. William Bailey, of New Richmond, Ind., substitute player on the Pardue university foot ball team; died Sunday afternoon from internal injuries. This is the sixteenth death. Fourteen dead bodies were shipped to their homes Sunday. There are still lying in the hospitals thirty-four victims of the wreck, thirty-three of whom are students of Purdue university. Of these, fifteen are in a serious condition. Election Judges Are Shot. BRISTOL, Tenn., Nov. 3.—A fatal elect- ion row occurred in an election booth at Fairview, in Scott county, Va., to-day. Two men were killed, one other fatally injured and one seriously. The dead: John Osborne, Ezekiel Nickels. Wounded: J. H. Catron, shot through the neck, will die, and Alexander Keys, shot in the right hip. The trouble arose over objections being made to C. P. Roller serving as a Republican judge. Roller, it is claimed, had heen selected by Demo- cratic election commissioners for service., Osborne and Nickels, the two dead men, were Democratic judges, and were brought into the quarrel on account of their official connection with the election. It is helieved that Caton fired the shots that killed Osborne and Nickels. The two men,who were killed* shot Catron and Keys. More trouble is feared. ’ Twenty-Five Perished in a Fire. Twenty-five persons, including three women and a ten-months-old baby, per- ished in a fire in a five-story tenement house at No. 426 Eleventh avenue, New York City, early Sunday morning. The tenement, known as the ‘House of All Nations,”’ was crowded with persons en- joying Hallowe‘en festivities, which makes it all the more remarkable that, aside from the dead, only one person was injured. This was Mary Jane Quinn, aged forty- seven years, who leaped from the second- floor fire escape to the ground. The police think the fire, which was practically extinguished in twenty min- utes, was of incendiary origin. Most of the victims had suffocated, their bodies choking up the approaches to the fire es- cape and giving evidences of a terrible struggle. Pomona Grange Meeting.

The foreigners employed were inclined to strike against it and the Bellefonte furnace had to be tank- ed on Monday, bunt more reasonable ones prevailed and the plants are running as usual now. The big decline in the price of pig iron necessitated the out. re lp pt ——As a result of the argument before Judge Love yesterday the preliminary in- junction restraining the supervisors of Spring township from paying to contractor James McCafferty the $660.07 due him for building the stone arch bridge near Com- missioner A. V. Miller’s home at Pleasant Gap was dissolved at the cost of the plain- tiff, who is R. B. Taylor. McCafferty was represented by Col. W. F. Reeder and J. C. Meyer Esq. represented Mr. Taylor.

Mr. Taylor was one of the contractor’s bondsmen and claimed to have finished the work him- self, when McCafferty did not push it as rapidly as he thought it ought to be done. DROWNED AT LocK HAVEN.—On Sun- day afternoon the body of an unknown man was discovered lying in the river lodged against a stone just below the second pier of the railroad bridge above Lock Haven. The coroner was notified and accompanied by Mr. Christie, who discov- ered the man, went to the place and re- mo ved the body to the shore, made such investigation as they could and learned that the man was of medium height and build, about 65 years of age, wearing a full beard of reddish gray whiskers, had overalls over his pantaloons, rags tied about his feet as if worn instead of stock- ings, and overcoat, the skirt of which was seen floating over the body when discovered.

Guiser and Miss Mary R. Workman were united in mar- riage by the Rev. H. I. Crow, at the Re- formed parsonage in Hublersburg on Thursday evening, Oct. 29th. The groom is an employee of the C. R. R. of Pa. and his bride is the only daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Workman, of Hecla Park. —— GPP eer. STRICKEN VERY SUDDENLY.—On last Friday morning while preparing to visit her daughter, Mrs. Lyon, at Pennsylvania Furnace, Mrs. Isaac Mitchell was stricken with apoplexy. Most fortunately her sis- ter, Miss ElizajThomas, happened to be in ' the room with her and the work of resusoi- “tation was begun at once. Dr. Locke, Miss Gibson, the nurse, and the absent members | of the family were summoned and for days "her condition was most precarious. Mon- day Dr. Chaney, of Williamsport, was here in consultation and on Wednesday after- noon a decided change for the better was noticed. Yesterday her family felt greatly encouraged and her physicians were most hopeful of her ultimate recovery. Another shock during the week which caused the same general regret and much individual anxiety was the announcement that Mrs. William Shortlidge was critical- ly ill at the home of her sister on Thomas street. On Sabbath, accompanied by her two guests Mrs. Guthrie, of Clarion, and Mrs, Sue McMicken, Mrs. Shortlidge left her home on Thomas street, apparently as well as ever, fo call on her sister Miss McCal- mont, who lives on the same street two blocks ‘away. Just before arriving there she complained of a severe pain in her ankle and foot and her companions assist- ed her up the steps and into the house. There her sister became alarmed as soon as she saw her and telephoned at once for Dr. Edith Schad, who with Dr. Robert Hayes have been by her side most of the time since. Mrs. Shortlidge’s trouble is with not under the influence of opiates. Every known remedy has been resorted to and a city specialist consulted, but her family have no hope at all of her ever being any better. Sen KILLED AT PITCAIRN.—While working in the Pennsylvania railroad shops at Pit- cairn last Friday morning Charles Clayton Gettig, brother of Samuel D. Gettig Esq., of this place, was killed almost instantly. He wae a native of this county having been born on the farm near Tusseyville 35 years and 4 months ago. : His death was the direct result of the breaking of a steel shaft that revolved above the machine at which he worked. When the shaft broke the belting fell, forming a loop that encircled the middle of the unfortunate young man’s body and | then gradually tightened until it had crushed him so badly about the lower ribs and abdomen that he lived only a few hours. Funeral services were held at Pitcairn on Sunday forenoon and on Monday morning the body accompanied by the relatives and a delegation of the Pitcairn Lodge started for Linden Hall, where conveyances were in waiting, and took them to the United Evangelical church, at Tusseyville, where short services were held by Rev. T. B. Or- ner, of Pitcairn, and Rev. J. F. Shultz, of Centre Hall. At Linden Hall the party was met by Boalsburg Lodge I. 0. O. F., and assisted in the services. He is survived by his widow, Lillian V. Gettig, a daughter of Thomas Fleisher, of Tusseyville, his mother, Elizabeth Gettig; brothers, Geo. I.,, John E., sisters Lizzie and Valeri I. Ishler, of Braddock; brother Henry C., and sister Regina Thorp, of Pit- cairn; W. E. Gettig, of Altoona, and S. D. Gettig Esq., of Bellefonte. He was a mem- ber of U.

Tripple, at her home on north Spring street on Thursday evening, shortly after eight o’clock, was not un- expected yet it occasioned much sorrow and regret for her family and many friends.
