In the Westchester district, New
York, the successful candidate for Con
gress died Just after the polls closed, and
before he learned of his success.
Bridgeport, November 8. In the
case of Mrs. Alexander to-day, after
fifty minutes' deliberation the jury re
turned a verdict of guilty of murder in
the second degree. The prisoner was
then sentenced to imprisonment for
life.
Ex-Governor Curtin much to the
surprise of everbody, though a candi
date for Congress In a strong Democratic
district, is beaten by Yocuni the Green
back candidate. The Republicans had
made no nomination, and they and
many dissatisfied Democrats cast their
votes for Yocum.
Among the note-worthy incidents of
the recent election is the defeat of
"Tammany" In New York. The opposi
tion Democrats and the Republicans
united, and the result is the election of
Mr. Cooper their candidate for Mayor,
by nearly 20,000 majority. Nearly all
the other " Tammany" candidates were
also defeated.
Tuesday's Elections.
Elections were held last Tuesday in
thirty states. The result shows decided
changes in several northern states, and
the greatest of these we note as follows :
In Pennsylvania the Republicans
elect Henry C. Hoyt as Governor by
probably 21,000 majority. The con
gressional delegation In the next Con
gress will be unchanged the Republicans
having lost a member in the Bedford
district, but gained one in the 18th dis
trict where Fisher beats Btenger. The
Legislature will be Republican in both
branches, ensuring the election of a
Republican to the U. S. Senate.
In New York the Republicans made
great gains Danforth, for the Court of
Appeals, rolling up a majority of about
fifteen thousand, showing a change of
over forty thousand votes since 1870.
The Legislature will be Republican by a
handsome majority in both branches,
insuring the re-election of Senator
Conkling. The Democrats lose five
Congressional seats. The Greenback
vote was large only in Greene, Catta
raugus and Chautauqua counties.
Connecticut has elected a Republican
Legislature which ensures the election
of a Republican Senator to take the
place of Senator Barnum. That party
also gains two members of Congress.
New Jersey elects seven members of
Congress, five Republican and two
Democratic, being a gain of three Re
publicans. The Legislature is also Re
publican in both branches.
New Hampshire is overwhelmingly
Republican. The Democrats lose their
sole member of Congress in that State.
Massachusetts declines to place Gen
eral Butler In the Governor's chair, and
elects Talbot, Republican, as Governor
by a plurality of about 20,000. Butler
for once mistook the political signs, the
Greenback vote not being near so large
or powerful as supposed. The Demo-
crats also lose one member of Congress.
In the western and southern states
the changes are comparatively slight.
The south as was expected, is nearly
solidly Democratic, and therefore the
Republican gains in the north, though
they will decrease the Democratic
strength In the House will still leave
that party a fair working majority. The
Greenback vote was much lighter than
was anticipated, and the strength of
that party In Congress will not inter
fere with a Democratic organization of
the House even should they all vote
with the Republicans. The Senate in
the next Congress will probably stand,
Democrats, 42 ; Republicans, 83, and In
dependent, 1.
The Remains of A. T. Stewart, Stolen from
the Family Vault.
New York, November 7. Judge
Hilton rushed into the police head
quarters this morning, greatly excited,
and held a consultation with Inspector
Dilks. He stated that the body of A.
T. Stewart was missing from its resting
place in the family vault at St. Mark's
Church, at Stuyvesant Place and Second
avenue. The vault, he said, had been
broken open ; the casket was found in
the vault, but the body was missing. Up
to midnight Inst night no arrest had
been made in connection with the affair.
Mrs. A. T. Stewart has since ofTered a
reward of $25,000 for the recovery of the
body and the conviction of the thieves.
A proportionate sum will be paid for the
recovery of the body.
New York, November 8. Johnson's
Jewelry store,on Eighth avenue.between
Fifty-fifth and Fifty-six Btreets, was
robbed last evening of $5,000 worth of
clocks and watches in the presence of a
large number of passers-by. Shortly
after 6 o'clock two men entered the
store, one cloned the door and the other,
with a revolver, kept in their places
Mr. Johnson, the proprleter, his clerk
and a customer. The others then
smashed the large plate-glass windows
and packed in two bags tlie stock ex
posed. While they were thus engaged
two others, armed with pistols, ordered
the passers-by to move on. The two
who kept possession of the store, receiv
ing a preconcerted signal, turned on the
throng and fired their pistols in the air.
A stampede of the people followed and
the thieves all made good their escape.
Peculiar Divorce Case.
A very benevolent old gentleman has
appeared as a petitioner in a divorce
case in San Francisco. He asked to be
released from the bonds of wedlock at
the ripe age of 75. It appears that he
did not heed the advice of the elder Mr.
Weller, to "bevare of the vidders," and
now wishes to escape the result of his
folly. On being asked why he was so
rash as to marry his present wife five
years ago he responded with a benevo
lent smile : "Well, she had six children
running on the streets and I took pity
on them."
Held and Robbed by Three Girls.
While a Frenchman named La Salle
was crossing a bridge at Waterford, N.
Y., he was accosted by three strange
girls, who asked him to take a walk.
He refused, and they seized him and
threw him to the ground. Two of them
held his hands while the third ransack
ed his pockets and relieved him of seventy-
five cents.

the match, which for some reason displeased
him, hit upon the notable expedient of
going upon a feigned spree and jamming
an inoffensive citizen's hat over his eyes.
The reckless inebriate was promptly arrest
ed and fined ; the girl wrote a letter repu
diating him ; her father threatened to kick
him out of doors if ever he ventured near
the house, and the wily young man chuck
led greatly at the success of his innocent
Btratagem. '
37" A curiouB case of poisoning recently
occurred near Daytonville, Conn., the
burning of a pile of brush coutaining poi
son sumao near a school house, into which
the smoke was blown, causing severe erup
tions on the bands and faces of the teach
er and half the pupilB. A similar case
recently occurred in Fairmount Park.Phila
dolphia. A lady living in West Mount
Vernon street was passing a burning brush
pile, when the smoke blew into her face,
and she was poisoned about the face and
hands so badly as to be laid up for two
weeks. She is not yet quite reoovered
from the effects.
C&"A Dubuque girl so enamored a couple
of Chicago traveling men that a duel re
sulted between the latter. An island on
the Mississippi was selected for the battle
ground, seconds were selected, and war
commenced. The seconds, however, only
loaded the revolvers with blank cartridges,
and a peice of the pistol wadding striking
one of the principals in the forehead, he
'dropped senseless, while the successful
shootist loft town in a closed hack under
the impression that he was a murderer.
What Is a Trunk Line?
Never Retnrn.
It is Baid that one out of every four real
invalids who go to Denver, Ol., to reoover
health, never return to the East or South
except as a corpse. The undertakers, next
to the hotel keepers, have the most profita
ble business. This excessive mortality
may be prevented and patlonts saved aud
cured under the care of friends and loved
ones at home, if they will but use Hop
Bitters in time. This we know. See
other column. 40
An assortment of Domestic Paper
patterns will be found for sale at the

The readers of the newsp apers of the
day constantly see mention made of
Trunk Line railroads, butcomparatively
few fully understand what is Intended
by the designation. Some three or four
railroad lines running westward from
the Atlantio sea-board, are sometimes
not wrongly called Trunk Lines, as they
form the main arteries of traffic toward
the West. If any railroad in the coun
try deserves or Is entitled to the name of
a grand Trunk Line, It is the Chicago &
North Western Railway. The company
operating this great line now controls
more miles of railway than any other In
America, if not in the world. It is by
all odds the most important line of rail
road in any way connected with Chica
go. No other road running out of Chi
cago carries anything like as many pas
sengers or bandies anything like the
volume of freight that is transported
over this road. It alone runs in and out
of Chicago every day in the year, nearly
as many passenger trains as all theother
Ciiicago roads put together. As It is
with passenger trains so it is with freight
it not unfrequently brings into Chica
go fifteen hundred loaded freight cars in
a single day, and if it does not bring in
a thousand cars its managers think it is
doing poorly. Forty to fifty passenger
trains daily, leave and arrive at its depot
at Chicago. Of suburban passengers it
carries more than all the other roads
that run to or from Chicago. These are
facts that can be established by any one
wishing to do so. No road but the very
best could do the business that this great
line does. Its track is of the heaviest
steel rail, and is kept in constant repair
by the constant vigilance of an army of
trackmen, and is patrolled day and
night the year through, for the double
purpose of keeping every thing connect
ed with it In perfect condition, and for
the entire safety of its patrons who are
traveling over it.
No road any where can show a super
ior track, finer coaches, stronger,
swifter or better locomotive engines ;
and no other road west of Chicago have
ever attempted to approach it in its
equipment of Pullman Hotel and Sleep
ing Coaches. It alone of all the western
roads have the celebrated Hotel cars,and
on this line only can the traveler be
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
procure the comforts and luxuries that
these cars alone can furnish. Other
lines may talk of Dining cars, and six-teen-wheel
coaches, but no one of them
can offer you a Pullman or any other
form of Hotel car. These cars combine
great luxury with the greatest obtaina
ble comfort, and at no increase in ex.
pense over the common, old fashioned
and ordinary Sleeping car. The marvel
of those that travel on them is to know
how the company can afford to run
them and charge no more for berths
than is charged in the old fashioned
sleeper. The answer is found in the
great volume of travel this road is carry
ing. The thousands flock to its lines
where the hundreds seek its competitors.
We are sure that no one who has once
seen these cars would ever use any other
if traveling In the direction they run.
They are not for the exclusive use of
the rich, but are just as comfortable and
elegant for the poorer traveler costing
to occupy these cars, no more than does
the occupancy of the old fashioned sleep
er, no one need for fear of expense, be
prevented from using them. They have
become " the rage," so to speak, with
the Californians, and have attracted the
majority of that class of travel.
If you are about to travel east or west
between Chicago and Council Bluffs,
Omaha, Denver or San Francisco, it
will pay you to see that you get your
t ickets by the Chicago A North Western
Railway. At some future time we may
give you further ideas about this great
road. The Democrat.
