FREELAND, PA., NOVEMBER 4, 1597. j
LYNCHING AWAITS THEM.
Five Desperadoes Will Bo (liven Short
Shrift l>y Angry Citizens.
Dead wood, S. D., Nov. 2.—There is
every reason to believe that there will j
be a quintuple lynching in the Bad I
Lands shortly if it has not already oc
curred. A courier who arrived at day
break reported that a mob of 500 men
were close on the trail of five despera
does whom they had been following for
86 hours.
Sunday night the four Belle Fourche
bank robbers known as the "Curry
gang" broke jail here, having overpow
ered the Lawrence county jailer and his
wife. They assaulted the woman and
then tied to the hills, tuking with them
William Moore, a colored murderer.
The fugitives are members of a band
of outlaws who were captured only a
week ago in Montana after a desperate
battle. They are Frank Jones, Tom
O'Day, Tom Jones and Walter Putney.
The Jailer was aroused by the men
ripping the Iron bars from their cells.
By their united strength they then
broke down the wooden partition and
suddenly presented themselves before
the astonished keeper.
The guard pointed his revolver at
them, but it was knocked from his
hand. As he drew another he was
thrown upon the tloor. Then he reached
for a knife, and the four men fell upon
him and beat him into unconsciousness.
Then they assaulted his wife and tied.
It was an hour before the jailer recov- j
ered and told what had happened.
The four men had supplied themselves
with rifles and revolvers, as the jail was
well stocked with arms.
As the desperadoes ran from the
building they knocked down a special
mine watchman. This man rose and
fired at the fugitives.
The shooting roused the citizens, who
rushed from all directions and gave .
chase. As the outlaws retreated into I
the forest they returned the tire of their
pursuers.
Several citizens were injured more or
less. Frank Elliott was shot through
the body, and Fred Swobe was desper
ately wounded. After inviting the mob i
to come and light them the outlaws dis- j
appeared in the hills in the direction of
the Bad Lands.
A posse of 200 citizens, soon augment- '
ed to 500, was quickly in pursuit. The
chase will be kept up. and it is under- j
stood the men will be killed on sight.
Each of the desperadoes is suffering
from wounds received at the time of
his capture for the robbery of the
bank of Belle Fourche.
The cashier of the bank and two citi
zens were killed when the bank was
robbed.

New York, Nov. 3.—The Democrats
have carried every county and borough
of the Greater New York, and Robert
A. Van Wyck, the Tammany candidate,
will be the first mayor of the consoli- I
dated city. He has been elected for a
term of four years by a plurality of 80.- ,
000 votes.
The Democratic county and borough
tickets have been elected by large plu
ralities, and the Democrats will con
trol the municipal assembly by a ma
jority of four-fifths on joint ballot.
The total vote for Van Wyck in the
entire city was 226.590, divided among
the boroughs as follows: Manhattan and
the Bronx, 135,072; Brooklyn, 77,273;
Queens, 9,375; Richmond, 4,870.
The total vote for Low and Tracy
combined was 244,528, a plurality of 13,-
820 over the vote for Van Wyck.
The Republicans polled 102,805 votes
for General Tracy. The total vote for i
Low was 147,138. The vote for General ,
Tracy by political divisions was; Bor-
ROBERT A. VAN WYCK.
oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, 56.- |
155; Brooklyn, 37,753; Queens, 6,105:
Richmond, 2,792.
The vote for Low in detail was: Bor- J
oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, 74.-
526; Brooklyn, 64,316; Queens. 5,456; !
Richmond, 2,840. In the present city i
Low received a plurality over Van
Wyck in six assembly districts, the ,
Nineteenth, Twenty-first, Twenty-fifth,
Twenty-seventh. Twenty-ninth and ,
Thirty-first. These are all Republican
districts under normal conditions, and 1
the vote in detail indicates that treach- :
ery to the candidates was extensive. |
The vote for Low in the present city,
however, was not much in excess of !
one-half of the alleged enrollment of
137,000 claimed for him by the managers j
, of the Citizens' Union.
1 The plurality for Parker in this city !
indicates that the Democratic candidate j
i for chief judge of the court of appeal/, j
received the votes of the supporters of j
Low and George.
! Ashbel P. Fitch, the Republican can- 1
did ate for comptroller, ran ahead f
General Tracy in the present city anil
in Brooklyn, but Colei. the Tammany
candidate, ran ahead of Van Wyck h: !
Brooklyn, where he received the vote:
jof the National Democrats. Charles F. j
j Fairehild, the Cits' candidate for d-nip
troller. ran far behind Low. and Day- I
ton. the candidate of the Jeffersonian
Democracy, ran ahead of his ticket. Mr. 1
Fitch has a plurality over Fairchibl.
Randolph Guggenheimer, the Tain
many candidate for president of the
council, ran behind Van Wyck. The
Tammany county ticket, which was in
i dorsed by the National Democracy in
return for the nomination of Franci
: M. Scott, ran behind the city ticket.
I The showing on this vote, it is ox
j pec ted, will eliminate the so called Na
-1 tional Democrats from organized exist
cnce in this city.
To the surprise of his friends, Thomas
J. Dunn, the Tammany candidal• for
sheriff, did not run ahead of Van Wy< k.
It was expected that Dunn would h 1
his ticket. Thomas L. Hamilton, the
i Republican candidate for sheriff, ran
ahead of the Republican city ticket.
, The Tammany candidates for council -
men have been elected in the five conn
i ell districts of the present city and in
the boroughs of Queens and Richmond.
In Brooklyn the Democrats have elected
five of the nine councilmen.
In the present city Tammany eloele I
33 of the 35 aldermen, and for the Great
er New York 48 out of 60. In the munici
pal assembly the Democrats will have a
majority of 56 on joint ballot and will
be able to control all legislation and to
transact business with all the Repub
| lican members absent.
! Alton B. Parker, Democratic candi
date for court of appeals, carried the
state by more than 60.000 plurality. The
complete returns from all the counties
show that Judge Wallace, the Repub
lican candidate, carried all the counties
i outside of Greater New York but six,
; but a Democratic plurality of over 120,-
j 000 in the city defeated him.
A Republican Paper** A<linl*Blo>.
I The Commercial Advertiser, a Piatt
Republican organ, says this afternoon:
"Revised returns of the ejection make
more sweeping the victory of Tannnany
| Hall in the city and of the Democracy
in the state. The indications arc that
the Democrats ha. i carried the lower
branch of the legislature.
"The Republicans have almost cer
! tainly lost control of the assembly. If
the Democrats"have not elected a rna-
I jority of the members there will not be
! enough organization Republicans to
i give the party a working majority.
With the possible exception of M. J.
Lowenthal in the Twenty-third district,
Republican and Citizens' Union c-andi
; late, Tammany elects all of the assem
; blymen in the boroughs of Manhattan
and the Bronx—36 out of 37—counting
'he two Westchester districts.
"The Greater New York delegation in
:he assembly Will consist ol' 61. out of
which the Democrats will most likely
have 57. Reports show that 23 other
: Democrats have been elected outside of
beater New York, or 80 in all.
"The assembly consists ol 150 mem
bers, which would give the Democrats
10 majority. The senate is Republican,
however, standing 85 Republicans to 35
Democrats, so that the Republicans will
have a majority on joint ballot, which
insures the election, of a Republican
successor to United States Senator Mur
i phy next January."
THE RESULT IN OHIO.
"oil. Si.lei Making Claim?, Though Every
thing I* In Doubt.
; Columbus, 0., Nov. 3.—The result of
the elections in Ol.io is still in doubt.
J With more complete returns today it is ;
1 evident that it will require the official
! ?ount to sat:: fy the contestants. The
more the respective parties figure on
; fheir returns the smaller their plurali-
I ties seem to become, while their claims
increase in opposite directions. The
1 closeness of the vote has caused intense
; feeling and the usual cry of fraud.
, When the result was in doubt in 1885, it
: was discovered that the tally sheets
were forged. The Republicans tele
graphed to all their county committees
to beware of the frauds of ISBS. And
! when the Republicans were claiming
the legislature by only one or two ma
jority on joint ballot, the Democrats
telegraphed their county committees to
beware of all sorts of fraud and to re
mcmber that it was a majority of one
j by which in 1877 Tilden was defeated.
' The state headquarters will be kept
open all week and until the official
counts are made in all of the 88 counties
of the state. It is expected that there
i will l.ie trouble in some of the close
counties.
Meantime the managers at both the
; Democratic and the Republican state
headquarters are today claiming the
state. The Democrats claim the election
of Chapman for governor and their
state ticket on such a close margin that
i it will require the official figures to de
termine the plurality.
I Soon after 3 a. m. the Republican
| state committee telegraphed all com
i mittees in the close and doubtful dis
tricts to be on guard and report. Just
: before closing headquarters for the
night Chairman Nash and his assistants
! indicated that the plurality on the Re
i publican state ticket would not be over
I 9,000. They were so confident of the elee
i tion of the state ticket that no definite
figures were given on it, although the
! plurality was loss than estimated earli
! or in the night.
On the legislature Chairman Nash
said the result was as follows: State
senate: 18 Democrats, 17 Republicans,
1 doubtful. House: 57 Republicans, 48
Democrats, 4 doubtful.
Nash'* Claim.
j Conceding the doubtful senatorial dis
l trict and the four doubtful assembly
men to the Democrats, Chairman Nash
; claimed the Republicans would have a
i majority of two on joint ballot for sen
! ator and congratulated Senator Hanna
i accordingly.
j The closeness of the vote is expected
: io cause trouble in some of the doubtful
! counties, and the state headquarters of
! both parties will be kept open all week
or until after the official count is com
pleted in ail the counties. The count
i will be contested with the secretary of
, state, the state returning boards and
| probably in the courts.
The Democratic state headquarters
I were kept open all night, with a force
!of clerks at work on the returns. At
j 4:30 o'clock Chairman McConville claim
j ed the election of a majority of the leg
i islature and would not concede the elec
| tion of the Repu'olican state ticket.
: Others at Democratic state hoadquar
; ters said the Republican plurality for
Bushnell for governor would not exceed
, 5,000. The Democratic state committee
claims 2 out of the 12 members of the
legislature from Cuyahoga, which would
j wipe out the majority of 2 claimed by
I the Republicans on joint ballot. The
i committee is watching the count in all
, close counties and districts and declares
ASA S. BUSHNELL.
that the official count will show a Dem
ocratic majority of nine in the legisla
ture.
The Democrats assert that all of the
six Republicans on the fusion ticket at
Cincinnati will vote for McLean for
senator.
Owing to the condition of the roads
the bicycle couriers are having trouble
in rendering the prompt service that
was expected from the rural precincts.
Allen O. Myers of the Democratic
state headquarters says. "Not one of
the fusion Cincinnati ticket will vote
for Hanna."
A Republican says two of the Repub
lican representatives elected will not
vote for Hanna. He can be elected
without therri if the Republicans have
74 on joint ba'.lot, as now claimed.
Colonel Di< It's Statement.
Cleveland, Nov. 3. -Colonel Dick says
the Republicans liave elected 58 mem
bers of the house and 17 members ol
the senate. He concedes 46 representa
tives and 16 senators to the Democrats.
Five representatives and 3 senators are
still in doubt. The Republicans, he
says, have a majority of 3 on joint
ballot and will probably increase that
to 7.
The Cleveland Leader (Rep.) says:
"Governor Bushnell has carried Ohio by
a majority of from 20,000 to 25,000. This
insures the election of a Republican
majority in the general assembly and
the return of Marcus A. Hanna to the
United States senate. In this city and
Cuyahoga county the Republican ticket
has a majority of from 4,000 to 5.000 and
the three Republican senators and nine
Republican representatives in the leg
islature are elected."
The Plain Dealer (Dem.), in an
extra edition, gives Bushnell a plural
ity of 4,853 in this (Cuyahoga) county,
Senator Hanna's home, and says he will
have a plurality not to exceed 10,000 in
the state. It is conceded that the entire
Republican legislative ticket for this,
district, as well as the Republican coun
ty ticket, is elected by small pluralities.
Ma^nncliunettH.
Boston, Nov. 3.—Governor Roger Wol
cott (Rep.) has been re-elected governor
of Massachusetts by a plurality of near
ly 87,000. There are still a few remote
precincts to be heard from, but the total
vote in these districts is only a few

hundred, and the final figures will not |
be materially changed. Revised and
corrected returns from different points j
show a total vote of 165,313 for Wolcott, 1
79,395 for George Fred Williams, Demo- |
eratic candidate, and 14,129 for Dr. Wil
liam Everett, the nominee of the Na
tional Democrats. This shows a plural
ity for Wolcott of 85,918. Ills plurality
year was 154,512.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 3.—From the latest
returns it appears that the Democrats
have a total of 61 legislative votes, while
the Republicans have 55, thus insuring j
a Democratic United States senator to j
succeed Senator Gprman.
The Republicans have elected their
municipal ticket in Baltimore by ma
jorities tanging from 4,000 to 6,000, but
the state ticket for comptroller and
i c hief of the court of appeals is in doubt,
i in the lower house the delegations
from the various counties will probably
| stand as follows:
Democrats —Baltimore county, 6; Har-
I ford, 4; Howard, 3; Cecil, 3; Kent, 2;
| Calvert, 2; Queen Anne, 3; Dorchester,
! 3; Worcester, 3: Wicomico, 3; Washlng
| ton, 4: Talbot, 3; Montgomery, 1: Prince
| George, 3: Anne Arundel, 4; Carroll,
! 3—total, 50.
Republicans—Alleghany, 5: Garrett, 2;
; Baltimore city, IS; Frederick, s;Charles,
2; Carroll, 1; Somerset, 3; Montgomery,
i 1: St. Mary, 2: Caroline, 2—total. 41.
! Elections for state senator were held
in 14 counties, 12 having held over from
last year. Of these 9 are Republicans,
and the latter appear to have elected
their candidates in Garrett, Alleghany,
I Charles, Harford, Baltimore city, Sec
or.d legislative district, St. Mary's and
Caroline counties, giving them a total
j <f 16, as indicated by the returns, while
i the Democrats have apparently been
successful in Calvert, Prince George.
Harford, Cecil, Caroline, Talbot, Dor-
I Chester rind Worcester, which, together
J with their three "hold overs," gives
Lhem an apparent total of 10.
New Jersey.
Trenton, Nov. 3.—New Jersey was af
| fected by the landslide just as much as
J any other state in the Union. In nearly
. every section of the state the Demo
! crats made gains, and this was partlcu
j larly noticeable in the senatorial and
! assembly contests.
j There were only six senatorial con
j tests yesterday, of which the Demo
i crats captured four and held their own
J in the fifth.
' The victory, however, makes a big
j change in the situation, as while the
Republicans still hold both branches of
the legislature their majority has been
greatly reduced.
Last year there were only 4 Demo
crats in the lower house. This year
there will be 26, while the Republicans
will only have 34. The Democrats had
only 3 senators last year. They will
! have 7 out of the 21 next year.
The vote was light all over the state,
and the greatest Democratic gain was
made in Hudson county, where a solid
delegation of 11 was selected. This was
offset by Essex county, which returned
11 Republicans.
Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Nov. 3.—The latest fig
ures show an apparent plurality for
Beacom. the head of the Republican
| ticket, of 125,000 as against Haywood's
plurality of 174,264 in 1895. The indiea
> tions are that McCauley. the Republican
i candidate for auditor general, received
| about 160,000 plurality.
| in Philadelphia returns indicate the
j election of Colonel Clayton McMlchael
! (Rep.), city treasurer, and Horace 13.
; Hackett (Rep.) for register of wills by
j majorities approximating 65,000. Judges
I Bregy, Wiltbank, Audenried and Fergu
! son were elected unanimously, they
having been indorsed by both parties.
The proposition to increase the indebt
edness of the city by #12,200,000 for pub
lic improvements has been carried.
Kentucky.
Lexington. Ky., Nov. 3.—The Demo
cratic majority in Kentucky is 16,000.
Eighteen out of 21 state senators have
| been elected by the Democrats, and
: they are sure of a majority of 8 or 10 in
I the lower house. A conservative esti
| mate this morning is that 70 per cent
of the legislature is Deinoci atic. Cap
tain Hindman, National Democratic
candidate for clerk of the court of ap
peals, received about 8,000 votes, while
tn the presidential election last fall the
National Democratic ticket got 5,000.
Hart county, the home of General Buck
ner, last year's candidate for vice pres
ident with Palmer, elected a Democratic
member of the legislature for the first
ime in many years. Carter county
elected its first Democratic member.
South Dakota.
Sioux Falls, Nov. 3. —Indications are
•hat the Republicans have won in South
Dakota. Smith (Rep.) is elected judge
in the First district by a close vote. In
the Second Jones (Rep.) is probably
°lected by 400 majority, overcoming an
adverse majority in 1896 of 1,050. Smith
(Rep.), in the Fourth district, is elected.
The election of Campbell (Rep.) in the
Fifth district is claimed by 1,200 major
ity. Goffey (Rep.) is elected in the
Sixth. The result in the Third district
is in doubt. The Populists have prob
ably carried one district, the Eighth,
and Wilson (Rep.) is leading in the
Seventh.
Colorado Return* Coufuned.
Denver, Nov. 3.—Twenty-two tickets
on the official ballot in several counties
In Colorado so confused the election yes
terday that the results may not be def
initely known till the end of the week.
The vote was for chief justice of the
supreme court and for county officers.
Innumerable sectional fights have so
mottled the election that but little sig
nificance attaches to the outcome. On
the state ticket the Democrats and Pop
ulists fused against the gold and silver
Republicans.
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.—Thirty-five
precincts outside of Lincoln and Omaha
Indicate the election of the fusion Dem
ocrat-Populist state ticket by not less
than 12,000 plurality. Additional scat
tering precinct returns from small towns
and county precincts serve to confirm
earlier bulletins to the effec hat fusion

rality than Bryan received last year
(about 7,000).
Des Moines, Nov. 3. —The latest re
turns on the legislative tickets give the
Republicans 40 out of 50 senators and
61 out of 100 representatives. Chairman
McMillan of the Republican state com
mittee claims 30,000 plurality for L. M.
Shaw, the Republican candidate for
governor. The Republican plurality for
governor in 1895 was 59,470.
Virginia.
Richmond, Nov. 3. —lt is estimated
that the Democrats have elected 13 out
of the 21 senaturs and 74 out of 100 mem
bers of the house. Patrick H. McCaull,
the Republican candidate for governor,
plurality of the Democratic candidate
did not carry his own precinct, and the
is at least 60,000.
FUNNY PADDY GLEASON.
He Says Ho Will Act as Mayor of the
New City For 12 Hours.
New York, Nov. 3. —Mayor Patrick J.
Gleason of Long Island City, according
to statements credited to him, proposes
to do something astonishing between 12
p. m. of Dec. 81 and noon of Jan. 1 next.
He says that in the 12 hours referred to
he will be the only mayor lawfully ex
isting in Greater New York, and there
fore that he will have sole power to ex
ercise the mayor's functions before the
mayor just elected shall formally as
sume his office at noon of Jan. 1.
"Whoever is elected," said the Long
Island City mayor, "I will continue to be
Mayor Gleason after Jan. 1. The terms
i of Mayor Strong of New York and May
or Wurster of Brooklyn expire at mid
night ol Dec. 31, but the term for which
1 was elected does not expire for anoth
er year, and the charter makes no pro
j vision for legislating me out of office."
I Mr. Gleason thinks he will be a mayor
; of some sort for a long time after Jan.
1 and capable of doing official acts of
many kinds right along. He said that
he would prepare to establish his status
in the courts.
It Is the custom for a newly chosen
mayor to go before a Justice of the su
preme court and take the oath of office
some days before the date on which his
term begins. If the new mayor of New
York does this, he will be In a position
to meet any emergencies which might
arise prior to 12 o'clock noon of Jan. 1.
Vjiii Wyck'a Suoccaior.
New York. Nov. 3. —Governor Black
will have the appointment of a Judge of
the city court to succeed Robert A. Van
Wyck. the mayor elect. The appoint
ment will be for a year only, as the va
cancy will be filled at the election of
1898. There are no active candidates for
the place so far, but It is expected by
the Republican politicians that the ap
pointment will go to one of the defeated
candidates for places on the city court
bench, Henry C. Botty or E. K. Camp.
The salary of the office is SIO,OOO a year.
A MURDER BENEFIT.
Theatrical Show Will Al<l Man Accused
of Killing Relatives.
Camden, N. J., Nov. 3.—Eli Shaw, the
alleged murderer, was given a benefit
at the Temple theater tonight to raise
money for his defense.
There is a strong popular feeling in
Shaw's favor. Many believe him inno
cent and are desirous that he be reim
bursed for the expenses to which he will
be put by the state's prosecution.
Miss Neilson indorsed the plan. She
disliked the publicity, but consented to
occupy one of the boxes at the theater.
"I feel that I must go for Eli's sake,"
she said. "Nothing is too much for me
to do for him."
Browning council, Junior Order of
United Mechanics, of which Shaw is a
member, attended the benefit in a body
and worked hard to dispose of tickets.
The play was "A Double Life." When
told this, one of the state's attorneys
said, "Rather appropriate from the evi
dence in our hands."
Murder, Then Suicide.
