Ilig election Wagers Reported.
New York, Oct. 29. As the close of
the political campaign approaches the
harder the Republican and Democratic
managers are working. Unprecedented
efforts will he made to bring every vote
to the polls. Mr. St. John arrived early
at the Democratic headquarters today.
He was in Jubilant spirits and said that
as election duy approached his eonll
denee In Bryan's triumph increased.
"This present movement is a unique
one, and there is no precedent on which
to base predictions. From the very
start 1 saw it was a providential move
ment and that the people were behind
It." said Mr. St. John in emphatic
tones.
Mr. St. John at this juncture became
reminiscent and started in to tell an
Interesting story.
"Why," said he, "the night before
Mr. Bryan made his speech before the
convention he was In my room in 'a
Chicago hotel. A United States senator
was also present. We were discussing
matters and Mr. Bryan said he could
not see how any of the men mentioned
could be nominated. I told him then
thut Providence would take care of
us and that the nomination would
come like lightning from a clear sky."
Mr. St. John paused a moment and
then said solemnly: ''And Providence
did take care of us, and the nomination
did come like lightning from a clear
sky, for Bryan was as good as nominat
ed the next night."
Mr. St. John is of the opinion thut
Bryan will carry New York stale and
that he will be swept Into the presi
dential chair by a landslide of popular
opinion.
There was a good many callers to-day
at Republican headqunrters. Commit
teeman Joseph H. Manley. of Maine,
gave out the following statement this
morning:
"After careful revision of all reports
received at the headquarters from ev
ery Stute, 1 feel perfectly contldent thut
McKlnly ii nil Hobart will carry 27
States and receive 307 electoral votes.
There are live States with 47 electoral
voles yet la doubt, and the chances
are strongly in favor of McKinLy
carrying three with forty votes and
Bryan two with seven votes."
MISSOURI FOR McKINLEY.
Chicago, Oct. 29. Missouri continued
to be the Stute most talked about and
reported on at R"publican headquarters
to-day. The campaign managers, from
Chairman Hunnu down, are now set
tled in their conviction that there is an
even chance in that Stute for the Re
publican presidential ticket. They
were cheered by the rpport from New
York that even money was now being
wagered on Misourl going for McKln-
ley. Charles H. Smith, of St. Louis,
who is now Committeeman Kerin's con
fidential adviser, arrived at headquar
ters. He places the gold strength at
SO.MOO, eighty per cent, of which he says
will go to McKlnley, according to the
open expressions of those Democrats.
Twenty-five thousand of their votes,
In the opinion of Mr. Smith, will ' be
sufficient to give the State to the Re
publicans. The Populists of the State
are suld to be helping the Republicans
by a row on account of the recent with
drawal of Jones, their candidate for
governor. The small army of stump
speakers are being called In so that
they can reach their homes In time to
vote, especially in the close States.
Scores of spellbinders were at head
quarters to-duy, reporting the outlook
In different sections of the country. The
men from Nebraska, who had spoken
In Lincoln, said the businessmen there
as well as in other parts of the State,
had a grievance against Mr. Bryan be
cause he had not stayed at home and
talked to the people as Major McKlnley
has done, so that all business interests
were benefited by traveling crowds,
could have made money. This feeling
Is said to have lost Mr. Bryan many
votes, especially in his home city.
On behalf of Chairman Hanna, Ser-geant-at-arms
Haskell wrote a letter
to Chief of Police Budenoch, thanking
him for the "prompt and effective man
ner In which you handled the disgrace
ful egg throwing affair during the
Bryan parade of October 27," and ad
ding: "The Republican national com
mittee does not desire, nor has It at
any time through the campaign, taken
any unfair or unmanly means of secur
ing votes for the Hon. William Mc
Klnley for the office of president of the
United States."
A telegram was received from J. E.
North, of Omaha. Internal revenue col
lector, stating that a member of a sil
ver smelting company in that city had
$10.0110 to bet even on the election of
Mr. Bryan. C. C. Vlall, a stock broker
of this city, wired to Mr. North, ac
cepting the wager and he offered to bet
J1.-..000 to I5.0V0 that McKlnley will be
elected.
IN THE POPULIST CAMP.
Chairman Washburn, of the Western
Populist headquarters, was in confer
ence most of today with Senator But
ter, chairman of the national commit
tee. Mr. Wnshburn said that there
was nothing done by them except to go
over the general situation before leav
ing their ticket in the hands of the
voters and to attend to any detail
that had been overlooked. The two
chairmen said they had done all that
could be done and the obstacles In the
way of complete fusion would have to
remain.
The campaign work of the People's
party national committee Is practically
done and Mr. Washburn declared the
probabilities were all In the directions
of Bryan's election. He knew of six
combination of electoral votes In states
that were not safely for Bryan or Mc
Klnley, which would work out the sal
vation of the silver candidate, to the
one combination of the Republicans, al
lowing them Illinois as the decisive
state. He confidently declared that
Mr. Bryan could not be beaten, with
the gold Democratic vote offset by the
silver Republican vote, as admitted by
the opposition, and the addition of the
two million Populist votes.
REPORTS FROM STATE COMMIT
TEES. Reports by letter from the chairman
of the Republican State committees to
the National Committee have been
coming In to the headquarters here for
the past week. The extracts- In sub

STRANGE MURDER.
Charles Kaiser, Jr., Is Held for the
Death of His Wife Queer Story
of Highway Robbery.
Norristown, Pa., Oct. 29. A murder
unparalleled In the annals of crime In
Montgomery county was committed
early last evening on a public road In
Upper Merlon township, near Bridge
port. Mrs. Emma Kaiser, the young
wife of Charles O. Kaiser, was shot
down as she rode along with her hus
band, who an hour later was receiving
the condolence of friends, but who to
day stands accused of the crime.
The llrst Information of the tragedy
was received when Kaiser drove Into
Bridgeport with the body of his wife
beside him. The only witness of the
crime was the alleged murderer him
self, and the only details to be had were
gleaned from him first by Frank S.
Muncll, of the Farmers' hotel, and
later by the police.
Mr. Maucll. acompanled by his
daughter, was driving to Norristown,
and when he reached a point on the
road skirting William P. David's farm,
near the Trenton cut off railroad, he
saw Kaiser circling wildly about the
road shouting "murder," "help." In a
carriage standing In the road lay Mrs.
Kaiser dead. Alighting from his
vehicle, Mr. Muncll listened to Kaiser's
story of a highway robbery and the
shooting' of himself and wife. Kaiser
appeared to be frenzied with agony
and Mr. Muncll suggested that prob
ably the woman was only unconscious
and that the best thing to do was to
drive to the office of a physician. Kals-r
was finally persuaded to drive ahead
of Mr. Mancil's team to the ofllce of
Dr. Mann In Bridgeport. Kaiser prop
ped the body between his shoulder and
the carriage curtain, the blood stream
ing from the Wound and clotting on his
coat. The body was carried Into the
oflice, and when it was placed on the
lloor, exposing a ghastly wound In the
left temple, Kaiser twice fainted.
Kaiser said that his wife was shot
as she was drawing her watch chain
over her head to hand It to the bandit,
and that he raised his arm and re
ceived the bullet near the shoulder that
was intended for his head. The police
doubted the story and began an in
vestigation, and this morning Chief of
Police Rodeiihaugh, Coroner Kurtz an J
Mr. Muncll recovered the alleged stolen
articles.
From Inmates of the boarding house
where the couple lived It was learned
that Kaiser and bis wife carried a
Joint Insurance of $10,000 on their llvus,
the policies being so written that the
death of either would make the other
the beneficiary, and that several weeks
ago Kaiser and his wife each executed
a will, each making the other executor
ar.d sole legatee. Kaiser is 24 years of
pge, and his wife was 32. The couple
came here from Lancaster on June 1,
having previously lived In Altoona.
Mrs. Kaisers' maiden name was Emma
P. Rule, her father being George Rule,
of Penn Village, Laneasier county. The
officers found the alleged stolen articles
secreted along the fence near the Bcene
of the shooting. A man's g.ild watch
and a revolver with two empty cham
bers, and a purse containing $.j and
supposed to have belonged to Mrs.
Kaiser were found. Kaiser is at his
boarding house in the cust dy of De
tective Shearer. It Is understood that
a formal warrant will be Issued for his
urrest.
Kaiser this afternoon was formally
placed under arrest on suspicion of
haviug killed his wife, and was taken
from his lodgings to Jail here. Through
out the afternoon and evening Kaiser
was plied with questions, but accord
ing to the police made no admission
and stuck to his story that his wife
was killed by highwaymen.

BISHOP FOWLER SPEAKS.
Calls Attention to the Possibilities of a
Combination of Bryan and Altgeld,
if the Candidates Be Elected.
Pittsburg. Oct. 29. Bishop Charles H.
Fowler, of New York, one of the board
of bishops of the .Methodist Episcopal
church of the United States, now in
session in this city, expressed himself
somewhat freely to-day on the political
situation. He said:
"As a churchman, I never comment
on political matters, but as a citizen
of our great Republic I am deejly in
terested In the subjects which now en
gross attention from all thinking men.
It Is a time of perilous Import to the
Republic. The deep intensity of well
meaning people who are behind the
revolutionary declarations of the Chi
cago platform, portend deep-seated so
cial disease, and of a nature that It
will take some time to cure.
"Imagine, for Instance, that Mr.
Bryan Is elected to go to Washington,
with Altgeld as governor of Illinois,
what would be the probable outcome of
such a conjunction of events? The
triumph of the elements of disorder, as
represented In a large part of the fol
lowing of the two men, would. In all
probability result in such elation that
Impossible demands would be mude on
employers; lawless elements which
fosters in Chicago would proceed to
run things with a high hand, presum
ing that the re-election of Altgeld was
a popular approval of the revolutionary
declarations regarding the power of
the president to maintain order
througout the country and the scenes
of July, 1894, would be repeated, for
President Cleveland would certainly
call out the troops. What would fol
low? The imagination pauses to con
ceive, because it cannot attempt to
foresee."

DEMOCRACY'S LAST GASP
Final Call Issued from Headquarters
Last EveoingAn Earnest
Appeal to Voters.
Washington, Oct. 29. The following
call was Issued tonight from Democra
tic headquraters:
October 29, 189B.
To the Voters of the United States:
In the preliminary battle of the people
against plutocracy the people have al
ready won. In spite of an expenditure of
money so large that" the civilised world
stands appalled at Its magnitude, today a
laiire majority of the people of the United
States are in open revolt against the mer
ciless gold standard and the domination of
the country by the syndicated wealth of
Europe and America, Interested in secur
ing or preventing legislation, and in con
trolling the execution of the Irws In their
interest. All that Is necessary to secure
the registering of the peoples will Is to
see that every voter oumi' to the polls
and casts an unpurchased ballot. Many
of the millions collected by the syndicates
have been reserved for election day.
Beaten at every point, the last resort t.f
money is to buy the ballot of the voter
by purchasing his absence from the polls,
or to coerce his vote by Intimidation. To
prevent this is possihln If every patriot
will do his duty. Every member of a club
must go to the polls early In the morning
of election duy, cast his ballot and remain
there until thepolls -lose and the result
Is announced. Take care that every voter
gets to the polls and casts his vote. Note
down the name of every absent voter.
Let it be known that the citizen who falls
to vote, unless prevented by extreme Ill
ness has either been ipurchased by the
money of the corruptionlsts, or Is other
wise unworthy to be called a citlsen. All
signs IndlcHte the overwhelming triumph
of the people, and to no organizations Is
more credit due for this than to the clubs,
the peoples' organizations, created for no
selfish purposes and battling for the lib
erties of the people as In the days of their
founder, the Illustrious author of the dec
laration of Independence.

have been appalling. Those that were
at work were company hands employed
in looking after the Inside workings
and keeping the mine In good, condi
tion. William Lacey, a contractor, was at
work In a rock tunnel about a mile
from the foot of the shaft, with a num
ber of men who were employed under
him Just how many it is not as yet
definitely known. The number, how
ever, cannot exceed fifteen or twenty.
Of these, four are dead, including the
contractor himself. Imediately after
the explosion a rescuing gang was
organized by flreboss William R. Jones
and Assistant Foreman John W. Jos
ephs. The men proceeded down the
shaft, Jones and Josephs being far in
the advance and when about one mile
from the foot of the shaft they
stumbled over the bodies of Owens,
Lacey, Herring and Worth. At this
point they were overcome by bluck
damp and fell dead In their tracks.
The other resucern were forced to beat
a hasty retreat and were rapidly taken
out of the shaft.
They were weak and upon reaching
the open air revived. A few hours later
the air current was partly restored
and the men were able to push their
way Into the tunnel with somewhat
better results, but still not able to
reach the four rock miners killed.
LIST OF THE DEAD.
The list of dead as far as known are:
WILLIAM R. JONES, oged V, years, fire
boss, married with a lurge family; been
in the employ of the company for the
past twenty-five years.
JOHN V. JOSKPHS, aged S3 years, mar
ried, leaves wife and three children;
hus Iwen assistant mine foreman for
past twelve years.
THOMAS OWEN, oged 38 years, rock
miner, leaves wife and two children. .
WILLIAM LACKY. axed 41', rock con
tractor, marled, leaves wife and sev
eral children.
JA.MK3 HKKKINO, aged 35 years, rock
laborer, married, leaves several chil
dren. JOSEPH WORTH, aged 4u years, rock fire
boss, married, leaves wile and three
children.
The injured, so far rescued, are:
DAVID WILLIAMS, aged 20 years, la
borer, single, overcome by gas,
JOHN DAVIS, aired 3i years, laborer.
single, overcome by gas, with bruises
on oouy.
There are several theorlQi as to thf.
cause of the explosion. Tho mine is
known to lie a gaseous one nnd extra
precautions have always been taken to
guard against explosions. All the men
at work in the tunnel today carried
safety lamps, so it is not believe I that
the gas was exploded from a naked
lamp. The most plausible theory is
that the gas was ignited by a bl-ist.
The explosion was so great that it de
molished the inside workings and be
fore the rescurers can leach that
portion of the tunnel where the men
are supposed to lie It will be necessary
to remove the debris. This may take
considerable time ana it is possible
that the bodies of the four dead rock
miners may not be recovered before
tomorrow.
EXPLOSIONS FREQUENT.
In the past three years this colliery
has been the scene of several bad ex
plosions. The most disastrous occurred
on Sunday. March ftth, 18!u, by which
eight miners were burned to death in
a most horrible manner, and two years
ago some of the members of the New
York Coal Exchange had a narrow es
cape. A party of ten of them were on
the carriage and had been lowered a
short distance Into the shaft when an
explosion took place near the foot. The
carriage was quickly hoisted out of the
shaft. Just in time to save the lives of
the New Yorkers.
The roof of the fan house was blown
off today and that building otherwise
damaged. The shock from the exulo
sion was heard for fully a mile awav.
The mine Is on fire and will cause the
company much trouble and expense be
fore tne names can be subdued.
Later The bodies of the four rock
miners were found at 8.30 tonight and
are now oeing orougnt to the surface.
