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.

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. D., Lafayette, centre rush;
Drollinger, Gabriel S., Lafayette, Ind.,
substitute; Squibb, Samuel, Lawrenzeburg,
Ind., substitute: Hamilton. Jay, Hunt-
ington, Ind., substitute; Howard N. 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.

employed were inclined to strike against it
and the Bellefonte furnace had to be tank-

——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.
The latter appealed from the decree and
the case is again tied np pending an appeal
to the supreme court. 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.
His body was in a good state of preserva-
tion and would be recognized by any one
who knew him while living. He had evi-
dently been drowned and not very long
ago. No one could be found who knew
anything about the dead man and his body
‘was turned over to the overseers of Cole-
this meeting. Fraternally,

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.

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. B. church of Pitcairn and presi-
dent of the board of trustees and a mem-
brook township for burial.

MANY DEATHS.— While the death of
Mrs. Macadi Wilson Tripple, widow of
the late W. 8. 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.
Daring the summer her eyes began to fail
and it was thought that cat.racts were
forming on them. In Sept. umber, accom-
panied by her daughter, she went to Phila-
delphia to be treated by a specialist. There
it was learned that she was suffering with
Bright’s disease and was in a very serious
condition. As soon as possible she was
brought home and from that until the end
her daughters or a trained nurse were con-
stantly by her side. :
Mrs. Tripple was a member of one of the
oldest families in the county. Her great-
grandfather on her mother’s side was Gen.
Philip Benner and her grandfather was
Thomas Waddle, who came from Chester
county, and located here before 1800. She
was born at Cedar Springs, May 23rd, 1838,
where her parents William abd Ruth Wad-
dle Wilson then resided. On Feb. 23rd,
1858, she was united in marriage to Wm.
8. Tripple by the Rev. James Linn and for
