The Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCULL, Frtitor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY.- NoramberH, IS LIVSEVS official maj. is 19.S3G. NILES' " " " -6726- Did you hear anything drap? The extra sfgsion must go. The grand nld party doesn't go. Somerset county is always in line. Can Governor Pattigon take a hint? Virginia was carried by Demo cratic shot guns. The Democratic "tidal wave" has gone up "Salt Kiver." The ten dollar a day Legislature got the grand bounce. We have carried the skirmish lines. Fall in for the great battle! Dost Hoyt and the other fellows that sulked, wish they hadn't? The Democrats made a still hunt, bat Chairman Pile made a stiller. Don't the voters that stayed at home wish they had helped to do it? Philadelphia's Committee of One Hundred got a Hack eye, Served it right. The Ohio election was an eye opener lor the Pennsylvania repub licans. Poli Hen Butler was effectually downed. One Democratic Presiden tial candidate the less. Philadelphia said to Governor PaUison, by 20,000 majority, your extra wssion must git. The Democratic Legislature should not stand upon the order of its going, but go at once. Nebraska; Republican majority is about 5, 00. Supreme Judge be ing the principal oflieer elected. The returns so far received from Minnesota indicate the size of the Republican victory to be about 17, 000. The Democratic Legislature got plenty of advice in very loud tones, on Tuesday last Does it under stand ? To the great dismay of the Dem ocrats, Butler announces that he will run for Governor of Massachusetts next vear. The Democrats can beat two Re publican parties in this State, easy but one knocks it out of time the first round. Governor Pattison' now knows what he has to be thankful for, and accordingly, on Friday last, issued his thanksgiving proclamation. Doubtless there are a good many voters in this State, who have reason te believe that they know a good deal more now, than they did last year. The Democratic extra session farce is still being played at iiarris burg, to very thin houses. Up to date it has cost the taxpayers $495, 252. It goes without saying ,that the Democrats carried Mississippi. The joint Legislature will stand 130 Democrats to 25 Republicans and Independents. The One Hundred Bosses of Phil adelphia spent $15,000 to elect Pat tison's man, Page, and got left. John Kelly's little game won't always win in Philadelphia. Chairman Hexsel's Lancaster In tdligrnrer, calls the Independents of last year, "Hogs." This, we presume, because they wouldn't feed on the husk" he threw t:ie-ji. Makyland went Democratic of course. The majority for McLean, (Deai.) for Governor, is 12,009, and the Democratic Legislative majority on joint ballot is 37. The voters of Franklin County presented their compliments to Sec retary Stenger in the shape of a Re publican member of the House, vice Sharpe, (Dem.) dee'd. I.v the only ppeech he made dur ing the canvass, Lieutenant Gov ernor Black asserted that "the issue in Pennsylvania is Cameron." Won der if he thinks so vet ? The Democrats carried New Jersey, a usual, electing Abbott, Governor, by . majority of G.700. The Senate euiocrais ; House, J4 Democrats, 2G Republi - cans, The result ofthe election in Con- Con- necticut shows large Republican gains in both branches of the Legis lature. The Democrats were com pletely routed in their strongholds, Hartford and New Haven. Up till last week the Democratic blowhards claimed Pattison's elec tion as a party victory ; they now admit that it was brought about by divisions iu the Republican ranks What an eye-opeaer a good round majority is! The llarrieburg Patriot demands the dismissal of ail Republicans that hare been retained in office under Pattison's- administration. This is in accordance with Democratic ideas of civil serrioe reform keep all our fellows in, bat kick the other fellows out After the bitterest contest in her history, the Republicans have re deemed Massachusetts, and have snowed Ben Butler under by a ma jority exceeding 10,000. At Tewks- bury, when the good news was re ceived, the crowd joined in singing the Doxology "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Though the breach in the party last year was not as wide as a church door, nor as deep as a well, it served to teach the Republicans of the State that there can be no gain in throw ing awav principles, and seeking Kuccess bv following the lead of I demagogues. Pattison's administra tion has put a quietus on similar at tempts for a decade at least. Is Virginia, the Bourbons downed Mahoneand the Readjustee by a large but as yet unknown majority, which may probably reach 30,000. The Legislature will have a probable Bourbon majority of 35 on joint bal lot The fight was made on the race issue, and the election was inaugu rated by the murder of nearly a score of negroes at Lynchburg, on the Sat urday preceding. By the return of Virginia to the Bourbon ranks, the South is again made solid. Cn airman Pile is entitled to the congratulations of the Republicans of the county for his management of the campaign. In an off year, with the discouragement of lat year's de feat, with apathy and distrust in the ranks, and almost without funds, he succeeded in rolling up a majority beyond the hopes of the most san- guine. Ul course, ne naa gooa neip in the townships, but it was his work and management that inspired con fidence and stirred up the workers. The official returns from the State of New York are not all in yet, but it is definitely known that C;irr, (Republican,) for Secretary of State, is elected by nearly 19,(XK) majority, and that the Republicans have car ried both branches of the Legislature, securing a majority of G in the Sen ate, and IS in the House. The other State officers are Democratic. The magnitude of this victory can be un derstood when it is remembered that Cleveland, (Democrat,) was elected Governor last year, by nearly 200, tO0 majority We are especially gratified at the success of E. IIarier Jeffries, the Republican nominee for Controller of the City of Philadelphia. Ilia worthiness and competency were not questioned, but the Committee of One Hundred Bosses, concluded that the Democrat' should have the Controller in the great Republican City of Philadelphia, and the Press and other "leading" Republican pa pers, hadn't the sand to oppose their autocratic decree. But, notwith standing, $15,000 was expended by the Committee for the Democratic nominee, and the "leading" Repub lican papers, "like dumb dogs, open ed not their mouths," Mr. Jeffries was successful by 1,171 of a majority, over Mr. Page, who was appointed by Governor Pattison as his successor when he vacated that office for the Gubernatorial chair. After the disheartening result of last year's treachery, the Republi cans of Pennsylvania have good cause for rejoicing over the outcome of last Tuesday's election. It shows the State to be in front of the col umn for ISS-i, and carries with it the certainty that her Republicans are still true to their convictions. In the face of last year's defeat, and of the chilling October blast from Ohio, it is invigorating to have the old State again proclaim, with no uncer tain sound, her fidelity to her glori ous traditions. Although the result is not unex pected, it is more decisive than "upl.. anticipated. Torn by rivalries and distracted by divisions, one of the ablest, purest and most patriotic of her Republican citizens was last year sacrificed, the State was turned over to the tender mercies of a ravenous Democracy, and an untried, un- I'nrtivn Hraltrlinrr iroa t lurtaI in fl.A .,. . .

London, November 1 L-It is rumor ed that the police have discovered proofs that the recent explosion in the Underground Railway was the work of New York dynamiters. The rumor, however, is not confirmed. The police are reticent but seem hopeful that the clues obtained will i lead to the detection of the guilty persons. THE FENCE IS FULL OF THEM.

Republican victories were achieved on all sides ; in some instances the success of the party was greater that at first report ed. According to the fullest count of Livsey's vote Pennsylvania has been carried by a Republican plu rality of over 21,000. The latest returns from New York are still better. In that State the Republican candidate for Secretary of the Commonwealth has been elected by 10,000 plurality. This is a brilliant victory when it is remem bered the Democratic majority of one year ago was 210,000. The bal ance of the State ticket in New York U Democratic, but the Repub licans captured the Legislature, hav ing a plurality on joint ballot. In Massachuset Ben Butler con cedes his defeat by 9,0(0 majority. He raises the cry of fraud, and inti mates that lie will be in the field again at the next election. Only members of the Legislature were elected in Connecticut and the Republicans secured a majority ou joint ballot of 0. In Nebraska Reese, the Republi can candidate for Supreme Judge, was sent howling along to victory with a 10,000 majority. The Repub licans also elected seven judges in this State. In Minnesota the entire Republi can State ticket from Governor down was successful by a majority rang ing from 11,000 to 17,000. Down in Maryland McLiin (Democratic) was elected Governor by 12,009 plurality. In the Legis lature the Democrats retain control, having a majority on joint ballot of 37. NEBRASKA ALL RIGHT.

Broady, Democrat, is elected in the First Judicial district by 3o,XX) majority. The three oth er districts are not heard from and are supposed to be in doubt The Republicans elect seven judges. Very few counties elect straight Re publican tickets, borne give Uepub lican majorities on the State and elect opposition county officers, and others the reverse. Generally all el ements are united in opposition to the Republicans. NTTMEO LEGISLATURE. Hartford, Conn., November 7.- Connecticut elects eleven Republican Senators and one Democratic bena tors.

Official returns from six counties, partial re turns and estimates from about 50 counties, and estimates based upon the election two years ago from the remaining lOcounties gives Hubbard 14.000 majority and the rest of the Republican ticket about 17,000. These figures will not vary much from the official. The Democratic majority in the Legislature of New Jersey has been i i :i u I. Democrats with from 7,000 to 8,000 majority.

The work" of placing new ties and rails on the Lehigh Valley Railroad bridge across the Del.i'vare has been going on for some time, and was continued yesterday morn ing on the two spans on the Jersey side. About 8:20 o'clock the heavy Empire freight for Jersey City was due, and a telephone message was sent to the Pennsylvania side to have her switched on the other track at the cut. It was assumed that this would be properly attended to ; but it was not Along came the train. It was a long one and a pusher was at the rear end. The train was long enough to reach over the bridge and around the curve out of sight of the drawing engine. When the danger was seen the engi neer of the front engine, a six-whet-led, connecting, heavy Clark locomo tive, whistled down brakes and re versed his engine. But still he went ahead. There was the river below, and it sesmed inevitable that the locsmotive must go over. The engineer and fireman jumped, and the engine ran off the end of the rail, broke through the timbers of the bridge and turned over at an angle of forty-five degrees, the guides and main pin catching in the girder, while the cowcatcher lodged on a little truck loaded with ties, jamming them against the next pier. And there hangs the locomo tive, firm and immovable. Sunday and all day to-day a great force of workmen has been trying to get the big engine out of the fix ; but she weighs forty tons without the tank, and there is no chance to use jack and there is no means of gt tinz a fulcrum for leverage. This afternoon she still hangs bus pended over the river, and great crowds are watching the workmen, who are, under the direction of prom inent officials, endeavoring to solve the problem involved in her release. The usual traffic of the road goes on to-day uninterruptedly, trains run ning round the wreck on a spur ot the bridge. A Fearful CrnMi. Columbus, November 8. An ac cident occurred on the Pan Handle Railroad at Rockport, one mile west of Newark, last night. A Pan Han dle freight train had just taken a siding, and the brakeman had left the switch standing open, when the Baltimore and Ohio passenger train leaving Columbus at 0 p. tn., ran into the freight, making a fearful wreck. Engineer Matthews, of Columbus, and a fireman, whose name was not learned, both of the passenger train, were instantly killed. Two other persons received injuries from which they will die. The track was cleared in an hour. In the collision Davis, the engineer, and Frank Powell, the fireman of the Pan Handle freight train, were both badly hurt and it is thought cannot recover. David Wil son baggageman of the Baltimore and Ohio train, received a severe cut The name of the fireman of the Baltimore and Ohio train who was killed was John Kennedy. Fatal Duel in Mexico. Mexico, via Galveston, Novem ber 8. A duel was fought at Chap ultepec, outside the city, this morn ing, between Degheest, of the Mexi can National Bank, and Olivier, a French merchant. The latter was killed. Degheest was badly wound ed. Swords were used. All parties are well known. The trouble was caused by a dispute over seats at the races on Sunday. The British Min ister, two American ladies and Degheest left the seats to promenade. Olivier and two ladies occupied them. A quarrel ensued between Degheest and Olivier. The former called the police and the latter was ejected. The incident caused sever al challenges to Degheest. He had another arranged for to-morrow. Intense excitement among foreign ers. Horrible Death. Carlisle, Pa., Nov. 9. The Sen tinel of this evening says : On Wed nesday afternoon laat a little three- year-old girl, daughter of one of the j cooks at the poor house, met witli a horrible death. Her mother had lifted off the stove a large tin boiler full of boiling coffee, and set it on the floor. The little girl was playing around the kitchen, and was ap proached by Jake Diller a simple fellow living there. The little girl ran from him, fell against the boiler and was precipitated head first into the red-hot, boiling liquid. The child was actually boiled to death, the flesh corning off the bones in chunks. She lived only a few hours, suffering excrutiating agony, until welcome death relieved her." "Abe'' Buzzard's Gang.

It is not believed that the robber i chief was badly wounded in yester day's fight, as he undoubtedly took part in the robberies last night which were discovered this morning. A ' rainstorm prevailed to-day in the! Ephrata hills and no one specially is after the robbers, although hun dreds of citizens are assembled, ready for another battle. Two dozen false keys were found on the hills. Clif ford, the captured outlaw, was shot in the groin.. He says the plunder is hidden all over the hills. The ex citement continues unabated and if the robberies continue the Governor wili be appealed to. His lvg Hunt. Ki.vgstos, O., Nov 9. Matthew Whalen, one of the most prominent citizens of this county, met with a shocking death while out with a party of friends hunting. He was crossing a roadway made of rails when ha tripped and discharged his gun. The content entered his legs and shattered them terribly. Before his comrades could ' reach him he bled to death. He was married only ten months ago. A MOST TERRIBLE CALAMITY. A Portion of the Capitol Falls. WOKKMKX KILLED. INSTANTLY Mapison, Wisconsin, November 8. The roof and south wall of the south wing of the Capitol extension fell with a tremendous crash at 1:40 o'clock this Hlternoou, killing four persons and injuring many more. The noise of, the lull was heard throughout the city. At first peo ple could not undeisiacd what caus ed the terrible hiuih! and ran to their doors tn make investigation. Thn news soon spread that the south wing of the Cnpit.il had fallen in and buried many of ibe workmen in the debris. Trwi) women and ctiildren gathered by the hundreds, and in a short space of time the Capitol park was filled witli an excited crowd. The Madison Hook and Ladder Company was at once called out. Though thj work of rescuing those caught in the rubbish was of a dan- J gerous nature, nevertheless tne men set to work with j. wili,anl at the end of an hour cverv man was accounted for. TERRIBLY MANGLED. Bernard Higgins, of Madison, one of the killed, was found partially buried in a heap of Jarge stones and mortar. His skull waa fractured. His extremities were buried in the rubbish and badly bruised. Near Higgins' body and under several feet of fctonu and broken pieces of iron pillars was William Edgar. Tho debris was removed as f;ist ns possi ble and his body was soon found in a completely crushed condition. The skull was badly broken, the brain oozing therefrom, and many bones in the body broken. Michael Suanke, of Madison, a mason, was found in the interior ot the wing ..:.. ii.. i. ...:,i . i-.. iw... ,.r ,..,i. ; UltMl uiki lion ircaill. iir uicu nwjl after being extricated. Wm. Jones, of Milwaukee, the foreman of the masons working on the building, sustained a tno?t severe fracture of the skull, extending from the fore head to the rear of the head, and died soon after he was removed. The accident occurred just after the men had goneto their work, and it is only strange that out of the 80 men employed in the wing more were not caught in the falling mass. Five workmen had just been called from the portion of the basement where the debris is deepest and were on the point of returning when thw whole thing caved in. John Giilen, a laborer, of Madi- Ison, wno naa cnarge 01 me norse used in the basement in hoisting material-', saw the root begin to fall and leaped under the horse for pro tection, and in doing so escaped in jury, tnougn the norse came out tne worse ir wear. WHAT THE CONTRACTORS SAY. The contractors of the extension are Beiitley and Nowhm, the former of Milwaukee and the latter of Janesville. Nowlan waa asked as to the probable cause of the accident, but refused to make any statement, saying lie could not give any cause and that the loss was nothing to consider in comparison with the lives lost. The real cause of the terrible accident is somewhat uncer tain, but the most plausible theory is that the heavy iron pillars sup- Eorting the roof of the second story alcony sank into the plank on which they rested, thus pulling the sound wall outward and causing the roof of the entire wing to cave in. Theoe columns were made of large pieces of boiler iron rolled into cir cular form, stovepipe fashion, the jointures not beins: bolted together. Trlpple Tragedy. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8 A fear ful tragedy was enacted to-day at the farm house of II. Clay McGee, 10 miles south of the city. His chil dren on returning home from sciiool this afternoon found the lifeless bodies of their father, mother and older sister lying upon the floor. McGee evidently had killed his wife, shooting her in the breast with a shotgun, shot his daughter in the back, and then completed the horror by going to an upper room and swal lowing a dose of morphine. The house being Uolated the neighbors were not aroused, and the bodies consequently liv until discovered by the children Lite in the day. The immediate caue for the insane deed is not known. McGee is described as a man of violent temper, amount ing almost to frenzy at times. He was a prosperous farmer, haying come into the vicinity several years ago from Kentucky, where it is said he once killed a man. There were six children, some of them married. Mary, the murdered daughter, was 20 years of age Another daughter. the wife of Mr. Hopkins, member of an old family here, was accidentally shot and killed by her husband some months ago. McGee was 45 or 50 years of age. McGee had for some time borne an unsavory rtpu tation among his neighbor on ac count of his harsh treatment of his family, and the tragedy to-day is supposed to be the result of the do mestic discord of long duration.

Short ly after 2 o'clock Monday afternoon this city was visited by a destruc tive, cyclone. The storm struck the woolei- mills, destroying a portion of tho buildings, doing great dam aso to the machinery and injuring several employes. It then passed a little to the north, demolishing a n mailer of residences. Striking Division street, at the corner of Ben neville street, the storm followed a line between the city proper and North Springfield for three blocks, leveling dwellings in both town". Then tending a little to the north ward, the tornado passed to Bridge ton, a suburb of North Springfield. St Mary's Catholic church was wrecked. Hazel Dell, a school house west of this city, was blown down. There were fifty children in the building, but none of them were seriously hurt Their escape was most miraculous. The path of the storm was only a few yards in width but wherever it struck the ruin was complete. . THE KILLED AND INJURED. The following is a list of the kill ed : Mrs. Andrew Arnquist. Mrs. Duulay, Mrs. Holbeiles, Mrs. Fin ney and Miss Edmondson. The seriously injured are Mrs. W. II. Pennells, hip broken ; Mrs. Mary Jackson, back hurt, dangerously; J. A.

Thirty buildings were de stroyed and narly 200 others dam aged. The total loss is from $150, 000 to $200,000. A Fight With Thieves. Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 8. Hollin- at Lincoln, this county, was robbed last night Early this morning a large posse of men start ed in pursuit of the th'eves, who were rightly supposed to be Buzzard and his cane, a notorious band of thieves, a number of whom with Buzzard recently escaped from the; Lancaster jail. They came upon the thieves ou the edge of the Welsh mountain, and a running light en sued between the two bodies, over fifteen shots being fired on both sides. John Clifford, one of the es caped prisoners, was cut off from the rest of the party, and captured. Abe Bczzard, the leader, was shot, and is supposed to have been seri ously injured from the blood left on his "trial. A young man named Bard, one of the pursuing party, was shot in the face and neck with bird shot, and seriously, perhaps fa tally injured. The thieves succeeded in getting into the mountain and eluding capture for the time being ; but as the whole country is being scoured with armed men their cap ture is considered a matter of a short time onlv. Clifford was lodged in jail to-night. He states that tnere are at least six of 'the escaped pris oner? depredating in the vicinity of the Welsh mountain. Clifford at the time of his arrest, had a narrow escape from being lynched, owing to the shooting of young Bard. Ropes were provided by some ofthe party, but cooler heads dissuaded them. Clifford revealed the hiding place of a large amount of stolen goods, which have been recovered. A Frightful Fall. New Castle, Pa., November 9. A frightful accident occurred at the Nthannock Furnace in this city this morning, which resulted in the loss of one life and the serious and perhaps fatal injury of two others. Jaro?s Kagan, Win. Troy, Andrew McBride and Martin Bullister were at work putting the elbow on the "downcomer" pipe, about seventy eight feet above the ground, when it started to rain. The four got down onto a board eight feet below, where they had protection from the rain. They were sitting on the board tell ing stories, when the timber broke ond the men fell a distance of sev enty eight feet. Eagan, a young man of twenty one years of age, was instantly killed, and Troy and Mc Bridge were seriously injured. Bullister fell about twelve feet and caught hold of a cross beam and thus saved himself from receiving injury. That the four were not in stantly killed ia miraculous. Fire at Charleston. Charleston, November 12. A fire broke out this afternoon in Hayne street, in Wilbur's clothing manufactory, spreading to Robert son, Taylor & Co.'s, wholesale gro ceries. Both buildings were gutted. Ludwig's has factory adjoining was da masted. The loss is estimated at 860,000. Eight women and one boy were employed in Wilbur's factory, most of whom jumped from the third story. Ellen Heron was killed and Susie Bond mortally injured. Mary Wolfe was badly burned, but may recover; Maggie Quinlisk and Annie Tyler were badly hurt but will recover; Abigail Gray and Laura Green are supposed to be burned in the building A little boy named Lightheart jumped and was caught unhurt. Only the eight persons named were on the third floor. The fire broke out under the stairway of the second floor, cutting off escape, as the fire spread rapidly. The Der sons on the second floor escaped with difficulty. Dragged to Death by Cow. Frightened Eastox, Novembers. A two-year old sou of John Marshall, of Bangor, met with a terrible death at that i .1 P'110 yesterJay. A daughter of Mr. ut 13 years, had been in tiie habit of leading her father's Alderney cows to water with a strap. Yesterday she took her littfe brother with her and fastened one end of the cow's strap to the child's arm. After they had gone some distance the animal became frightened and ran away, dragging the little fellow over the ground af ter her, breaking one of his arms and otherwise injuring him so bad ly that he died within ten minutes after the occurrence. The cow must have stepped on the boy, as the im print of her hoof is on his breast. A Storekeeper Riddled With Bullets. marked. A posse is the assailants. 11) search of Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Our industries have thriven and our harvests been boun tiful. The toil of the laborer has not been in vain, and the rewards of thrift are everywhere manifests. Tumult and dissensious have been averted, quiet has dwelt with plenty, and our Republic of States has con tinued to live in the undiminished affections of the people. Conscience and reason alike teaches that these blessings have not resulted from chance, but are due to the goodness of the Supreme God of the universe. That they may be our continuing heritage we should manifest a grate ful spirit of thanksgiving to their gracious Giver. To praise for past blessings we should also add devout entreaty for their continuance and the amelioration of the lot of those whom misfortune and poverty op press. The destitute, the unemploy ed, and the stricken should have remembrance in our prayers. In conformity, therefore, with the uniform custom, sanctioned by the religious sense of our States to ap point general days of thanksgiving and prayer, I issue this proclama tion.

Governor Cleveland yesterday grant ed a pardon to two men who for 18 years have been suffering under a life sentence for a crime of which they were not guilty. The story is of the most extraordinary character. In the summer of 1865 Thomas Howard and James E. Sherwood entered the house of an old man living in Livingston county and beat and robbed him. They were over taken and arrested on charges of housebreaking just as they were on the point of boarding a Panama steamer in New York harbor, but before they could be lodged in the Livingston county jail tiie old man, the victim of their robbery, died. The charge was then changed to murder in the first degree and the prisoners were sentenced to life im prisonment Recently the District Attorney who prosecuted them wrote to Governor Cleveland, stating that when the case came before him he was a young lawyer with few briefs. Flushed by recent political pre ferment anil being ambitious of making a record, he did these men a wrong which he does not hope to expiate in this world. The physi cian who made the postmortem ex amination, he wrote, reported to him that the old man died of lingering consumption, and the slight violence that he suffered at the hands of Sherwood and Howard had not the remotest connection with his death. The Prosecuting Attorney requested the physician, who was his personal friend and and irresponsible quack, to never make the result public, and immediately drew up papers charg ing the prisoners with murder in the first degree. The two men, ignorant of their in nocence of the charge and frightened at the prospect of the gallows, went before the judge and pleaded guilty and were hustled off to the Albany prison in the fall of 1865, precisely eighteen years ago, and locked up for life. Both men, shattered in body, and with little hope for the future, have gone west to try and create anew a place for them in the world. Murderous Assault. Everson, November 11. This evening a man named Noble called at the door of John Cauley, of Scott dale, and after talking to him a few minutes struck him several times with a hatchet cutting into the the skull, inflicting wounds which may prove latal.

Huntingdon, November 9. Lucy furnace, situated in Orbisonia, this county, will blow out in three weeks.
