(>.—Charles 10. Hughes, the Republican candidate for governor, defeated William R. Hearst, the Democratic and Inde pendence League candidate, by a plurality of about 40,000 today. In round numbers Hughes came down to the Bronx with pluralities aggre gating 120,000, which were met by 80,000 plurality for Ilearst, rolled up in Greater New York. The early returns showing heavy Republican losses from up the State encouraged the Democrats, and a few hours after the polls were closed the Hearst managers were giving out the wildest claims. But in Greater New York the Democratic losses, especially in Brooklyn, where Senator "I'at" McCarren worked openly against Hearst, soon began to be felt and all doubt as to the He publican victory were swept away. Omaha, Neb., Nov. (!.—Returns which are slowly coming in from the State indicate that Nebraska has gone Republican by about 12,000, the entire Republican State ticket being elected. The legislature, which this year elects a Cnited States Senator, is safely Republican j according to the returns at !> o'clock. A pretty home wedding celebrated ; in McDonald, near Pittsburg, was that which united Miss Arille Vi vene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Crooks, and Charles \V. lteeder of Hughesville, at 0 o'clock! Thursday evening. The bride was given away by her brother, Frank MeC'andless Crooks. She wore an j empire gown of princesse lace built over chiffon and silk. She carried a shower bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. The convention al veil of tulle was fastened to the, high coiffure with a superb aigrette. ! The only ornament worn was a dia- ; mond brooch, the gift of the bride groom. The who is a 1 son of the late Peter Reeder of Hughesville, was attended by his j brother, Frank Andrew Reeder as best man. Mr. and Mrs. lteeder will travel in the south. The out- I of-town guests included Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reeder, Hughesville; Robert A. Reeder, Muncy; Henry C. Reeder, Williamsport. Stuart's lias A Plurality of 53000 Lover House Has Majority of 40 to 50 to Carry Out Roose veil Program. A good working majority of from It) to 50 has been insured the liepub- j licans in the next House of Repre-j sentatives, the indorsement of the J Roosevelt Administration and the j record of the Republican Congress j was clear and decisive. In several Hasteru States, notably ! Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio,! local conditions affected several di> j tricts now represented by Republi cans,and Democrats have been elect ed. In Indiana, Illinois, lowa audi Missouri the big Roosevelt wave of j 1001 returned to the normal Repub lican majority and several districts | usually conceded to the Democrats: have returned Congressmen of the j latter faith. There were no surprises in the j Congress election, and the cell brated "black list" which President Gom pers of the American Federation o{ Labor, prepared months ago for par-' \ ticular assault has not sufficed, evi- i dently, at least, to the extent of de feat for any one placed "upon it. The Middle West, the West and i the far West attest their faith in ! Roosevelt policies by sending to the Sixtieth Congressoverwhelming Re publican delegations. The early indications are that the Republicans have won the State Legislature of Colorado, Idaho and Montana, which, with the "gain al ready made in Oregoli, means an in crease of four Republicans in the Senate of the next Congress. Thai body will then consist <>l I Repub licans and 20 Democrats, or a more than two-thirds majority of thedom- ■ inaut party. i Lycoming County VOting. Wilson wins for Congress by ! over 900. The unofficial returns from this district shows this. Tio ga. voted for her home cadidate and turned the district from Deemer to Wilson, Democrat. Senator Coch ran was re-elected by a big plural ! ity,Kicss and Troxell were Ve-eleet -Icd members of assembly from Ly coming county. With all the precincts of Lycom ing county heard from,unofficially, except Penn township, the returns of Tuesday's election in this coun -Ity are practically complete. Penn is a Democratic precinct and w ill probably add about 50 to the Dem | ocratir figures. The vote for governor was Stew - art, R , 4,1184; Emory, D. & L., (i.oS*); Castle, P., 711; Maurer. S., 207. As far'as heard from Emory's plurality in Lycoming county is !1,601 I Great Flag Unfurled. j The largest tlag in the District of Columbia, and probably the second largest American tlag in the world was suspended for the lirst time in the immense court of the Post Office Department with an impressive and' beautiful ceremony. This star spang-1 led banner is fifty feet leng and MO feet wide, and its length is fifteen feet greater than the big flag which : formerly hung in the court and was j as large as any in Washington, i Postmaster General Cortelyou, the i four assistant postmaster generals, ; Messrs. Hitchcock, Shallenberger, Madden and Degraw, and Chief I Clerk Chance stood in a group on the I tifth Hour and gave official signi H ' eanee to the ceremony, which was taken charge of by the Grand Army veterans of the department. At 1 o'clock the bugler sounded j the "assembly" call, the signal for the nearly twenty-five hundred per ! sons in the building to come out on | the balconies surrounding the big | I court to a height of eight stories. I , Standing on the little balcony pro-1 jeeting from the north side of the third floor was Miss Nellie M. Corri ; gan, who has the bit; tlag was pulled slowly from its furled position on ! the west across the court, began to sing the national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," in a clear, sweet I voice that tilled the building. With : her were some eight or ten young : ■ women who took up the refrain. Then the entire twenty-five hundred : , p rsons i,u eight floors poured forth their voices into the court, led from the little balcony. In the midst of this stirring chorus 1 1 the great tlag was finally pulled into position, hanging from a cable stretched from the west to the east !on the seventh floor. The bottom i of the tlag almost reached the third floor. | This banner takes the place of the old garrison tlag, which used to hang ! in the same place, and was loaned 'by the War Department. The new | one is owned by the Post Office De ! partmt nt. * The Danville Hotel Man. Peter Dcitrich was sentenced Wednesday morning to fourteen years in the Eastern Penitentiary at solitary confinement and hard labor, the motion for a new trial being ov erruled by Judge Evans who then imposed sentence. Arguments for a retrial of the case were heard last ( week, and Wednesday was fixed for handing down a ruling on them af ter. Court convened Wednesday morniug at 10 o'clock and only last ed half an hour, in that time the man's fate being sealed. Judge Ev ans announced that the motion for retrial was overruled, and then call ed before the court the prisoner who had been brought in by the sheriff. | i Dcitrich was looking well audi liealty as he had been of late; but' was stunned when the inomentuous j words of the sentence were pronounc-1 , ed. And Deitrich was not the only j surprised person in the room, the 1 75C PER YEAR [general impression in Danville be ing that if a new trial was refused I Hie prisoner would get off with a | much lightersentence, ami when the heavy sentence of fourteen years was imposed it was a general surprise. The crime for which Deitrieh is sentenced is the murder of "Corkey" Jones in the bar-room of Deitrieh'3 hotel in Danville late one night hist February. Both men with some others were conversing in the bar room, Deitrieh was flourishing a re volver and boasting of his prowess as a crack shot. Jones was reclining on a bench and remarked that lie did not believe Deitrieh could hit anything, whereupon the latter,who was intoxicated at the time, tired and the ball entered Jones' head near the eye.

Brennau of Mildred, was called in consultation along with Dr. Daly of Dushore on the case of Frank Heulth of Satterfield, who has an acute attack of appendicitis; | but his condition is so serious that they had to postpone the operation. Mrs. James J. Connor of Mildred, whose sickness was in last week's issue, has gone to Wilkes-Barre hos pital to undergo an operation and ! her friends hope to see her return home to enjoy her usual good health. Harry Weed went to Philadelphia hospital last week, and it is feared that he is suffering from an attack of appendicitis. The contractor for the new road has finished his job, but up to the present time has failed to settle with his men.

The title of exten sive coal and timber lands near Ber nice is in question, and an array of legal talent from Williamsport, To wanda, Dushore and Laporte was engaged on the case. The action is one of ejectment in which W. W. Jackson et al. are plaiutiffs, and Rush J. Thompson et al. are de fendants. In one form or another the matter has been fought through the supreme court twice, the eject ment case having been sent back for retrial after a verdict in the lower courts for the defendants. The property at stake is that which was accumulated by former senator George O. Jackson, now de ceased. His widow, after whom the town of Bernice was named, and his son George, who were made his ex ecutors, gave a deed in fee simple to Bush J. Thompson for all his prop erty. After their deaths, William W. Jackson, another son, began the present action, seeking to recover the property, alleging that no prop er consideration had been given by Mr. Thompson. A case in equity went against the plaintiffs, the su preme court sustaining the defend ant, and the action in ejectment fol lowed. It is claimed 011 the part of the defense that SB,IOO paid at the time of the making of the deed, was the consideration. The counsel engaged in the case is !as follows : Plaintiff, Messrs. Beth IT. MeCormick, and 11. K. Foster of I Williamsport; E. J. Mullen of La ; porte, and Alphonsius Walsh of Du- I shore; for the defendant, T. Mcpher son and Rodney Mercur of Towan da; Joseph W. Piatt of Tunkhan ! nock; A, J. Bradley of Laporte, and A. F. Hess of Dushore.
