QGROIS CHA GES OF FREAUD=ATEPS TOWARD A CONTEST, Sem— sew york. November 8.—The situa tion is decidedly mixed The Repub- lican National Committee has deter- mi rol to contest the voie in New York Slate inch by inch, sod to so lay the grou id for a contest as to throw the walidity of the election into Congress. Hon. William M. Evarts has been sum- ¥Yi., His mission is mod from Winscr, apd will arrive hers to-morrow, to secure alternative writs of mandsmus in every county in the State to compel the eanvassers to count or throw out certain votes and so confuse the sitna- tion as to cast great doubt on the hon- esty of the returns, To offset this the Democratic Nationsl committee bas sent for the opinion of the best lawyers in the State as to the powers and duties of the State Board of Canvassers. This Board is composed of ome Republican {Secretary of State Carr) and four Demo era's. Secretary Carr says this evening that when the Canvassers meet if the returns from [the counties show that Cleveland bas a plurality he will cer tainly get the certificate, and the same thing will happen if Blaine has a plur- ality, On the face of ths official retunrs from all the counties in the ¥tate gath- ered by the Associsted Press and the United Press and the various pepers bere Cleveland has a plurality of early 1400, but members of the National Re- publican Commirtee claim that if they ean throw out entire district vote. where they allege fraud bas been prac ticed they can elect Blaine. They say that in Long Island City more votes were cast than were registered, that the returns are missing from several election districts, and that deliberate frands were practiced in one Albany district in the interest of 8 Democratic county candidate. The Democrats, on tSe other hand, assert that in many dis. triets in Chautauqua and Si. Lawrence counties more voles were cast for Blaine than they were residents, and if these counties are thrown out Blaine will lose shout 10,000 votes, The feeling bere is very bitter, and as a precaution the police reserves are on duty, every newspapers office being guarded by from five to ten officers, the Western Union and Tribune buildiogs having four times thst number, The masses of the merchants and others con. esde Cieveland's election, but the Tri- bune renders and the National Republi ean Cormmittesfollowers still insist that Blzine bas carried the State. The few additional peturns that have been re- esived to night slightly reduce the Blaine vote heretofore reported, and a lesding Democrst ssid to night thay treoflicial vote would show Cleveland's plurality nearer 500 than 1000. The Republicans dispute this, and more modestly place their plurality at 1100 There is no substantial ground, ms far as made public, at least, to sustain any other position than that Cleveland has arrind the Bate, unless Cauvassers Ahrow out votes by the wholesale on the ground of alleged fraad. to-night the buiden of the resolutions wan: “We ask only what is right; we will nob submit to soything that is wrong” Tuesday's Official count is _ Arevision at police hesdquarters of * the electarial votn cast in Kings county wows 69,248 for Cleveland and 53,614 | i Hala Cloveland over Blaine 15, | President President Judge A |angre ss : { F i F Bellefonte N., “ .

HE DRIVES HIS BLADE THROUGH NINE INCH ES OF COPPER AND WOOD, A very remarkable event has occurred in the recent experience of the three- masted schooner Themis, of Boston commanded by Capt N. E. Kendrick, and now lying in Ship Island Harbor, The Themis sailed from Mobile on Au- gust 4 with eargo of lumber for Tam- pico. Khe waa a tight vessel, taking in very little water and requiring but lit- tle use of the pumps. On the fifth day one from Mobile, Capt. Kendrick him- self tried the pump and found no wa- ter —that is, none above the five inches play allowed between the lower end of the pump and the bottom of the bold, An hour or two afterward the mate hap: pened to try it, and Lo the great aston ishmeant of the captain reported twenty in again at the Why should the schoolmaster take | 1 bimself and fattening on the ignorance | Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 22'S]. ni 2) 17 76|| 168 72! | 12] 781 52! 91 83!

It was enough, nevertheless, to create slarm, and to keep the crew continually employed at the pumps during the pas. sage to Tampico—all efforts in the meantime to looate the leak proving unsuccessful. On arriving at Tampico. and while discharging the cargo, these efforts were redoubled, It was fully as certained that the leak was not near water line—as had been hoped—but at the bottom of the vessel. Finally the mate, groping and exploring about the bottom reported that he bad found » horn sticking in the ceiling or inner lining of the timbers which he could not remove. He was told to break it off, and at length brought up sbout two inches of what the esptain at once re- cognized as the end of the blade of a swordfish. On farther examination it was found that the blade had penetrated, in the first place the copper sheathing of the schooner ; then the outer timbers of the hull, four inches in thickness ; next, » vacant space of nine inches between the outer and inner timbers, or “ceiling.” and, lastly, four and one hatf inches wore of solid wood constituting the oriling, altogether nearly nine inches of plank and copper, with eleven inches of vacant space, including the two inches of theend broken off. How much of the sword remained outside has not yot been ascertained, The blow was struck from below, in a direction near ly vertical and some idea of its amazing foros may be found from the figures above given. The point of impaet was alittle forward of the mizsen mast, about three feel from the keel, on the star board side. By tearing away part of the coiling, Captain Hendrick was eaabled partially to stop the leak, and to bring his vessel first to Appalachicola and thenoe back to Ship Island, where he was sent for quarantine, although be had a clean bill of health. This is, no doubt, the most extraordinary ease of | man's. of the schooner, aad will be available for examination when she comes to be decked for repair, ——— A AA— Senator Bayards Wise Words. Wittnixorox, Del. November 6.—Sen- ator Bayard talked most impressively in an interview to-day. He takes it for granted that Cleveiand has won be- yond peradventure. He said : “The thing that I really feel the most at t hb time is the capacity of our republi- can form of government to right itself in the presence of great dangers. Be ing firmly convinced as I am that this election was a crisis for the American people and (heir government, I am deeply impressed with the sirength of the moral forces that have vindieated themselves and prevailed. It is a titoe, therefore, of congratulation, not only to thore whose votes have prevail- od but to that large minority who have been overcome because the victory has been gained without the employment of a single force abhorrent to the true principles of good government and really in opposition to those forces that have insidiously grown to strength in an era of war and excitement, “Independent of the individual agencies employed in the contest the new majority are logically bound to walk in the pathway of reform, Econ omies must be instituted, a purer and better political morality must be exer- eised in & broader spirit and less ander the control and domination of selfish individual and class interests. “In short, I think our countrymen of all parties, all clases and races many congratulate themselves that the ship of state has righted herself in the midst of a heavy son and that what has been accomplished by that is not to be nar rowed to individual or party benefit, but will be found to be salutary and beneficial to the public health and the general welfare,” Splashers and sideboard covers at Gar. ) ge C.
