J. procuring the license for the wedding
yesterday Lieutenant Caldwell called
on Father Mackin of St. Paul's , of
< & which Mrs. Hazen is a comntunicunt ,
and arranged for the wedding this
morning. As Admiral Dewey is not
a "Catholic a special dispensation was
\ leqtiired , and this was procured by
Father Mackin from Bishop Curtis ,
vicar general of the diocese of Bal
, % timore , who granted it in the absence
of Cardinal Gibbons , who is at present
in New Orleans. Father Mackin went
to Baltimore for this purpose yester
day afternoon.
At 9:45 this morning two crriages
; v containing the wedding party drew up
before the modest red brick rectory in
the rear of St Paul's. The general
public had no intimation that the cere
mony was to take place and not a sin
gle spectator was present as thn party
.alighted. Admiral Dewey and Lieuten
ant Caldwell quickly stepped from
their carriage and the admiral assisted
the bride-elect and her mother and
sister from .the other carriage Mrs.
Hazen was gowjied in a peail gray
silk , over which she. wore a long sty-
4ish black wrap trimmed with silver
fox and lined with lavetfder silk. The
admiral wore a black frock coat , gray
trousers and a silk hat.
Upon entering the rectory they were
ushered into the reception room , where
Admiral Dewey was presented to
Father Mackin and the two clergymen
who were to assist in the ceremony.
Upon being presented to Father Mack
in the admiral said that he ha < l heard
that Father Mackin had in hi3 early
> \
years teen a sailor and it gave him
additional happiness to know that he
was to be married by a clcrgjman
who had at one time followed the sea.
Father Mackin and his assistants wore
N > simple black cassocks.
The ceremony was performed with
the ring , according td the nuptial rites
of the Catholic church.

HOLCOMB'S PLURALITY.
It Is Figured Out to Bo Not Far From
Fifteen Thousand.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 10. Complete
returns from counties polling nine-
tenths of the vote of the state give
Holcomb a plurality of 13,584. These
same counties last year gave Poynter
a plurality of 2,115 and his total plur
ality in the state was 2,721. Allowing
for the same rate of gain in the re
maining counties as Holcomb has
made in those reported his plurality
will not be very far from 15,000 either
way.
Additional returns from the Sixth
congressional district show that Ne
ville is elected over Kinkaid , but they
are not sufficiently complete to give
a definite idea of the size of the ma
jority. Neville claims that it will be
3,000 , though the republicans are not
willing to concede so much.
TTarshlps Ordered Home.
KINGSTON , Jamaica , Nov. 10. The
German consul here received today-.an
intimation that owing to war condi
tions the German corvettes Stein ,
Stetsch and Charlotte , now in these
waters and due here on Sunday , have
been ordered to proceed home imme
diately. The incident has caused con
siderable speculation.
Meat 4O Cents a Pound.
HAVANA , Nov. 10. Fernando Capote
pete , mayor of Cardenas , has submit
ted to Governor General Brooke a
scheme to coin Cuban silver and copper
into currency , stamped with the heads
of the initiators of the revolution.
The local papers are again exercised
about the price of meat. Last month
they say 35,000 head of catttle were
imported , but there is no reduction in
price. Many of the poor cannot buy
meat at all , as a good deal of the
meat is sold at 40 cents a pound , while
all kinds could be sold at 15 cents a
pound. ,
KENTUCKY YtT IN DOUBT.
The Votes Will Ilavo to Bo Cauvacsed
for KcHiiltn.
FRANKFORT , Ky. , Nov. 10. The
county returning boards met in all the
counUea today to canvass the returns ,
oiid until then the result of Tuesday's
election will bo in doubt. Both sides
are charging fraud.
Governor Bradley is being tele
graphed by hundreds of republicans
offering to come to the state capital
to prevent Taylor being counted out.
Chairman Young of the democratic
state central committee charges the
republicans with attempting to perpe
trate fraud in the mountain districts ,
where the heavy republican vote lies.
Young says the official county by
county returning boards today will
give Goebel over 4,000. He also says
all minor candidates on the state ticket
win , though by less pluralities than
Goebel.
Senator Goebel received the follow
ing telegram tonight :
"Hon. William Goebel , Frankfort ,
Ky. : Have just learned that returns
are enougii complete to insure your
election. Congratulations. I am sure
your administration will strengthen
the party. W. J. BRYAN. "
CLAIMS AND COUNTER.CLAIMS.
*
Likely to Bo a Contest In the Kentucky
Klectloii.
LOUISVILLE , Nov. 10. A confu
sion of claims and counter claims , to
quiet which the official count or pw-
haFS a contest before the logislat'iro ,
is nil that is left of Tuesday's electKi ; ; .
Above it all vehement cries of fraud ,
committed or contemplated , are heard.
Each side claims the election of its
ticket by a plurality of about 4.000
and present figures to back up the
claims. These figures in some counties
vary widely and it is impossible to toll
which side , if either , has accuraco re
turns.
Chairman Long , of the republican
campaign committee , when asked for
an estimate of the vote on the guber
natorial race , said :
"I have no estimate to ? ; K < \ Init I
can furnish the actual figures. On the
Lice of the returns Taylor'r. plurality
is 4,136. All of the precir.c'.s have
Loon heard from. Twelve counties
are not official , including the returns
from Kenton and Brei-thicr. "
DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS IN OHIO.
It Is That Their Lieutenant Governor
Has Been Elected.
COLUMBUS , 0. , Nov. 10 A flurry
was created in political circles today
by the claims of the democratic state
committee that Patrick ( dem. ) had
been elected lieutenant governor over
Caldwell ( rep. ) . The returns show
that Caldwell had been cut heavily as
the result of the.fight made against
him by the Anti-Saloon league , but _
the republican committee had not given -
en the matter any serious attention.
Today , however , county chairmen
were asked for the vote on lieutenant
governor. Last night returns had been
received from seventy counties , which
gave Caldwell a plurality of 8,278. The
remaining counties gave Nash a plu
rality of 12,166 , and as they are strong
ly republican Chairman Dick claims
the election of Caldwell with tlie great
est confidence. It is claimed Cald-
well's plurality over Patrick will not
be less than 5,000. Revised figures on
the head of the ticket show that Nash's
plurality id 50,512.
Al'geld on the Elections.
SIOUX CITY , la. , Nov. 10. Ex-Gov
ernor Altgeld of Illinois spent yester
day in Sioux City and last night lec
tured at the opera house under the
auspices of th-3 local Trades and Labor
assembly. Mv. Altgeld was asked to
express an opinion on the recent elec
tions. He caid of course it is to be un
derstood he is more than pleased with
the showing of the fusioiusts in Ne-
L'Utska. So far as South Dakota is
concerned he expresses no apprehen
sion as to the situation with his party
in that state , even though it has gone
republican this time. Mr. Altgeld says
the fact that the republicans got a
majority at all is because the demo
crats and populists did not go to the
polls. He says the voting was done
by the icpublicans in the towns and
cities and the followers of Bryan in the
rural districts did not take enough in
terest in the election to go to the
polls.
\
Jones and the Philippines.
'
TOLEDO , 0. , Nov. 10. Mayor Jones
today issued a signed staiament , in
which he denies that he had said ,
"If my race has in any way contrib
uted to the success of John R. Mc
Lean and a rebuke to the infamous
policy of the administration , I feel
it has not been in vain. " Mayor Jones
then says of imperialism :
"I believe the non-partisan vote of
Ohio may be recorded as favoring a
Christian policy toward the Philip
pines. Personally , I believe the Filipinos
pines have a right to be free as well
as the Americans , and I have frankly
said so whenever the .question was
raised , but I have no thought whatever
of trying to represent any other man
as believing as I do. I want all men
to be free to speak for themselves. "

Analysis of Nebraska Conl.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 13. The dis
covery of coal in Dakota county has
been the cause of considerable corre
spondence by the governor's oflice.
The sample was sent to Prof. Nichol
son for analysis and the following
shows the result :
Hon. W. A. Poynter , Lincoln , Neb.
Dear Sir : Referring to your letter of
recent date transmitting sample of
coal found in Dakota county , request
ing analysis of same , I herewith hand
you copy of analysis , together with
statement of analysis of a good qual
ity of soft coal for the puropse of
comparison.
It seems from the results of this
analysis that the Dakota county sam
ple is of rather low grade. Of course ,
the quality may improve as depth is
gained on the drift. This can only be
ascertained by further development of
the vein in question. Yours very re
spectfully , H. H. NICHOLSON.

his wife and little son , where , with a
brother , W. H. Lamed , he is interest
ed in raising sheep and also in the Em
pire Loan and Trust company. He was
apparently enjoying his usual health
and there had been nothing in his ac
tions to give the slightest premonitiqn
of an unbalanced mind. Mr. Larncd
and his family were traveling in a
chair car. He had just wrapped his
wife's cloak about her and started 10
walk down the aisle when he gave a
scream and made a dash for one of the
windows. He went through the dou
ble window head first before any of
the other passengers could stop him.
The train was stopped and ran ba'ck
to where he lay at the foot of a fificon
foot embankment. He was uncon
scious and bleeding from cuts about
the head caused by the broken glass.
The injured man was picked up and
brought back to this city and is at
the Lepin hotel under the care of the
Burlington company's physician , Dr.
Artz. He is badly injured about the
head and one of his shoulders is dislo
cated.
Big University Attendance.

score of years ago , almost to a day , Dr.
Charles B. Bessey , then as now act
ing , chancellor of the university of Ne
braska , announced in the chapel with a

rollment of the university had reached
the unprecedented llgure of 500. This

monly known as "preps , " musical t > iu-
dents , art students and all. It was a
proud day for the university and tlie
little body of students that were gath
ered in the chapel let loose the univer
sity yell with wild enthusiasm. Yes
terday the acting chancellor announc
ed that the new students admited this
fall numbered 600. This indicates the
rapid growth of the university and pre
dicts an atendance close to 2,100.

state university has an exceedingly
large enrollment this year. Prof. Ed-
gren , head of romance languages , has
about 300 students , more than ever
before. Prof. Fossler , head of German
ic languages , has 629 enrolled , which is

The Price of Coal.
OMAHA , Neb. , Nov. 13. Railway
men say that coal will probably take
on a raise about November 15 , for on
that date the freight rates from tne
east will increase. For several months
past , the rate from Chicago to the Mis
souri river , on both hard and soft coal ,
has been ? 2 per ton. After November
15 it will be $2.50 on hard coal , and
§ 2.25 on soft coal. While much of the
coal comes from points nearer than
Chicago , yet the effect will be much the
same as for price , since the demand is
up to the limit of supply.
Accident in an Elevator.
COLUMBUS , Neb. , Nov. 13. A fatal
accident was narrowly averted in the

winding up its year's business by pay
ing off the premiums , all of which are
being paid in full. The meeting this
year was such a succes that the mem

tur of the regular lecture course on
the evening of October 31. It was
not known until that evening came
that Mr. Miller would not lecture on

mor , as well as interest and good
lessons.
