GOVERN3R BROWN GETS A MAJORITY A GREAT ICKIUIBLM A\;VICT«V IX THE IJTTLE STATE OF KIIOUE ISLAND. PRONIDENCE, April 7. —Complete returns from all parts of the State show a total vote 011 the State ticket of 54,699, an increase of 10,000 over the largest ever polled. The two parties raked every city and towu almost bare of voters and got on an unexpectedly and unprecedenedtly full vote, both in actual numbers and in proportion to the possible vote. A GREAT REPUBLICAN VICTORY. The finished returns show a great Re publican victory. On the State ticket, Brown, Republican, for Gov. ernor, polled 27,464; Ward well, Democrat, 25,385; Gilbert, Pro., 1587; Burton, People's candidate, 188, and there were 75 scattering votes. These figures show a plurali ty of 2079 for Brown, and a majori ty of 229. Bull aud Utter, Republican can didates for Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State, are also elected by small majorities. There is no election for Attorney-General and General Treasurer. WIIERJB TnEY FAILED TO ELECT. Most of the failures to elect are in Providence and Newport. In the former city only three of thirteen members of the Legislature were chosen, and in Newport only one of six. The other failures were scat tered among the small towns. The control of the Legislature by the Republicans gives them the choice of their candidates for Attorney- General and General Treasurer, and secures beyond a doubt the re-elec tion of Nelson W. Aldrich to the United States Senate. REPUBLICANS JUBILANT. The Republicans are feeling ver3 _ jubilant, as they have secured every thing to be desired, or the assur ance of everything—the Legislature, all their State officers and a Uniteu States Senator. COMPLEXION OF THE LEGISLATURE. The complexion of the Legisla ture is: Senate, 23 Republicans, 10 Democrats ; three to be elected. House, 37 Republicans, 19 Demo crats ; 16 to be elected.— Ex. A HKIOE AT FOI'RTEEN. Louisa Saelis Elope** Aero** the Dt'lawarr With a Man of Twice Iler Venrs. An excited group of men and women, in their midst a crying girl, stood in the hearing room of the Seventh Police District station house last night, and told an unusu al story to Sergeant Hewitt. The girl, whose name is Louisa Sachs, and whose age but 14 years, had run away from the house of her father, John Sachs, of 827 New Market Street, had eloped and been married in Camden to a man almost twiee her age from whom the father endeavored to keep his child. The hus'mnd, Frauk Adams, of New Market and Onas Street, at the head of a party of friends, had visit" Ed the father's house earlier in the day to make demands for his wife. The 14-year-old girl, and the father in whose care she then was were endeavoring to persuade the Sergeant to lock up the girl in a cell, so as to keep her from her husband. LOUISA RUNS AWAY. According to the father's story, Louisa had left home on Tuesday last. Her father and brothers then disguised themselves, and nightly have visited localities where the girl was suspected to be. Their search was futile. Yesterday noon as the father was standing at Fourth and Fairmount Avenue, he saw his truant daughter on an opposite corner. He endeav ored to catch her, but she was to quick for him and ran rapidly down Fourth Street, with the lather in pursuit. Seeing that in a chase he could not catch the daughter the father called out stop thief and pointed to the girl. At Green Street Officer Jones caught the girl. The party then went to the station honse at St. John and Brown Streets. Here the father recited the story of the runaway and told the sargeant that he desired to haye his daughter locked up as he intended sending her to some asylum as soon as pos sible. Finally the father was per suaded to take the girl home. FATHER AND HUSBAND TO FIGHT. No sooner had Sachs arrived home, than, Adams, the husband, hearing of his wife's arrest, visited the father's house and made de mands for his wife. He produced a certificate of marriage from a Cam den minister. Sachs,fearing violence, determined to have the girl locked up. When he and his family ar rived at the station house the second time, the sergeant told the excited group t hat the station house could furnish only an uncomfortable cell for the girls. The weeping girl beged piteously to be allowed to return to her husband, but her father was obdurate. Finally, at the suggestion of the sergeant the girl was taken to the iourth District Station House where there are comfortable cells and locked up. The husband de clares that he will have his wife even if he has to invoke the law, and the father declares he will remain in charge of the girl even if he has to invoke the law.—Philadelphia Press. MORE EVIDENCE AUAI.M DEEMIXtt. A Ha*ket Faiiiml Containing a Portion of IliN Murdered Wile's Clothing. MELBOURNE, April 10— An un claimed leather covered basket, which has lain in the Bairnsdale railway station since January last, has just been forwarded to the police house. It has been found that the name "Mrs. Dobbs," in scribed upon a label on the basket, is in Deeming's handwriting, and a key found upon Deeming fitted into the lock. Lhe basket contained apparel formerly belonging to the murdered Mrs. Williams or Deeming (Emily Mather), and a portion of a Liver pool paper, another portion of which was found at the scene of the murder of Mrs. Deeming at Winsdor. A search has been instituted at other railway stations for articles that may prove useful iti connection with Deeming's conviction. Deeming continues to pretend that he is insane, although a number of physicians have testified that he is perfectly sane. FOUGHT BLACKSXAKES. A Railroad Man Surrounded by Filly ol'the Reptile*. WILKES-BARRE, Pa., April 10. While blasting rocks in a deep cut, near White Haven, on Saturday. Michael Greenig, a Lehigh Valley foreman, met with an experience which he is not likely to forget. Alter firing the first blast he climbed upon the ledge of rocks to note the effect of the shot. As he stepped up he found the shot had uncovered a den of huge black snakes, and before he could realize his position, he was surrounded by nearly fifty of thp reptiles, varying from three to seven feet in length, lie had no chance to run or to jump down. With nothing but a small stick which he carried, lie at tacked the snakes. After twenty minutes of hard fighting he succeeded in getting down to the track, after killing forty-seven of the snakes, the larg est of which measured seven feet, four inches. Greening is preserving tliis skin as a memento. Stephen Allen's l'ocket Piece (By Request.) In the pocket book of the Hon. Stephen Allen, who was drowned from on board the Henry Clay, many years ago, was found a printed slip, apparently cut from a news paper, of which the following is a cop. It is worthy to be putin every newspaper, and engraved on every young man's heart: Make few promises. Always speak the truth. Keep good companj', or none. Never speak evil of any one. Live up to your engagements. Be iust before you are generous. Never play at any game of chance. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors. Good character is above all things else. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. Never borrow if you can possibly help it. Do not marry until you are able to support a wife. Keep yourself innocent, if jou would be happy. When you speak to a person, look him in the face. Make no haste to be rich, if you would prosper. Ever live (misfortune excepted) within your income. Save when you are young, to spend when you are old. Avoid temptation, through fen: you may not withstand it. Never run into debt unless you see a way to get out again. Small and steady gains give com petency, with a tranquil mind. Good company and good conver sation are the sinews of virtue. Your character cannot be essential ly injured except by y our own acts. If any one speaks evil of you, let your life be so that no one will believe iiim. When you retire to bed, think over what you have been doing during the day. Never he idle ; if your hands can't be employed usefully, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Read over the above maxims, carefully and thoughtfully at least once every week. A Philadelphia judge has decided that a man may shoot and kill a cat that comes upon his premises and disturbs his nocturnal repose. In charging the jury the judge said: "I have only to say, gentlemen, that a citizen has a right to kill an animal of this kind if it trespasses on his premises. Perhaps there is 110 domestic animal that makes more trouble in the neighborhood than a eat. Ifthiscatwas trespassing on this man's place he had a right to kill it." The jury at once found the man not guilty. Johnny, get your gun. "I do say that the enormous sum paid in the way of pensions is a double hardship on the people of the South," said General Patterson of Tennessee, one of the plain spoken ex-Confederate Brigadiers in the House. He objects to pen sions because they draw money away from the South and put it in to the hands ot Union veterans at the North." The South could not expect pay for wrong doings. ADunvi'le paper snys : "There is wide spread distress in this town women and children as well as men are suffering for the necessaries of life. Last Sunday the churches were boasting of the hundreds of dollars they have raised for mission ary purposes, and yet almost within the shadow of somo of the churches there was pinching want and the suffering that comes from a lack of food. On Tuesday April sth. Governor Pattison signed the death warrant of Charles Cleary, who has been convicted of the murder of Police man Paul, at Renqvo, and the day of execution is to be June 9th next. The Clearfield County Commis sioners are about to contract for 352 booths and annexes—92 election booths at $4 75 each and 200 an nexes at $3.50 each. The Du Bois Express believes it will cost £20,000 to meet the provisions of the Baker ballot law in that county. EST ELLA ITEMS.
