Chicago, Nov. B. Eugene Field,

whosu works were read nnd admired
in all parts of this country, died In
bed in his home at liuumi Park, n sub
urb of this eity, about 5 o'clock yes
terday luorninjr from heart disease.
Mr. Field had been suiroriiitf for sev
eral days from a severe cold and yester
day had been obliged to cancel an en
gagement for a public reading at Kan
bas City to night, No serious results
of his indisposition had even been
thought of by his family and immedi
ate friends.
Last night Mr. Field retired, after
an evening with his family, feeling ap
parently better than for a long time,
lie is supposod to have slept soundly
until daybreak when his bon, who oc
cupied the room with him, heard him
groan. The young man put out hh
hand and found that death had al
ready taken place.
Mr. Field's family and close rela
tives were at once nuinmoncd and the
news sent to this city where the dead
man had a wide acquaintance. The
announcement of his dcatli caused a
bhock in all parts of the city.
Eugene Field was the son of Roswcll
Martin aud Frances (Heed) Field and
was born in St. Louis, Septempcr 2,
lSf0. After finishing his education in
the state university of Missouri in 1871,
adopted tho profession of newspaper
writer, beginning with the St. Louis
Journal in 1S7"J. His next connection
was with the St. .Joseph (Mo.) Gazette
in 187f, after which lie returned to St.
Louis to take an editorial position on
the Timcs-.Iournal. In 18S0 lie was on
the stall' of tho Kansas City Times, but
left that paper in 1SS1 to become man
aging editor of the Denver Tribune.
Ho came to Chicago August, 1833, to
accept a position on the editorial stuff
of the Chicago Morning News (now
tho Record), aud his connection with
that paper continued without inter
ruption to the day of his death. In
addition to his newspaper work Mr.
Field found time to perform much ex
tra labor in the literary Hold and
established a reputation as a graceful
and clever writer of btorics and verse.
He was especially happy in his poems
and stories of juvenile life.
Mr. Field married October 10, 1S73,
Miss Julia Comstock, of St. Joseph,
Mo., and had seven children. In June,
1S03, Knox college conferred upon Mr.

ELECTION ECHOES.
Tho ItcRtitt In tlio Hnvcriil Stntes Itovlned
ami Siiiiiinurl7eil.
Kansas Ctrv, Mo., Nov. 8. Tho re
sult of Tuesday's elections may bo
summed up as follows:
In Kentucky republican claims and
democratic concessions show that not
only has the full republican state
ticket been elected but that tlio com
plexion of tho legislature assures a
republican successor to United States
Senator ISlaokburn. Bradley's plural
ity for governor is from 1(5,000 to 17,000.
In Pennsylvania complete returns
from all but six counties in tlio state
rdiow a plurality for Haywood (with
tho vote in the livo counties estimated)
of 10'J,S.")1, a republican gain of 11 1, 705,
as compared witli 181):?.
In Nebraska tlio best indications are
that Norval is elected by over 10,000.
Tho vote of tho administration or
"sound money" wing of the democratic
party is four-fifths of the entire party
vote of tlio state, probably 2."i,()00. This
is a very surprising feature of tho
election.
In Marylnnd notonlvhave the repub
licans elected their entirestate and Hal
titnorc city ticket, but have carried the
legislature, which, according to ilgures
at hand now. will stand in tlio lower
house 08 republicans and :.'t democrats,
and in tho senate l.r democrats and 11
republicans. Lowndes (rep.) for gov
ernor carried the eity of Baltimore by
a plurality of over 1 'J, 0 JO. His plural
ity in the state is about 10.000.
In New Jersey the republicans elect
ed tlriggs by a plurality of !20,UT() over
McGill. The legislature is republican
on a joint ballot by JO and 1 independ
ent. In Utah returns from 215 precincts
out of :;'() give Wells, republican for
governor, a plurality of 2, IS1.', and
Allen, republican for congress, a plur
ality of 1,072. Tiie republicans have
elected 10 senators, democrats .1. witli
',) in doubt. Tho republicans elected
120 representatives, democrats 7, with I)
in doubt.
In Ohio Chairman Anderson conceded
the state to the republicans by 1)0,000.
Chairman Kurtz said liushneU's plur
ality would not be less than 100.000.
Tho vote for Coxey, populist, will be
about l.'.OOO less than last year, tho
populist vote of lO.ooo. James 11. Oar
Held, son of the late president, was
elected state senator from the Twenty
fourth and Twenty-sixth districts by
an enormous plurality.
In New York the total vote, utiolli
cially compiled, gives Palmer, tho can
didate for secretary of slate, at the
head of the republican ticket, a total
of f)73,."Q.r, while his democratic oppo
nent. King, polled .lO.I.MO, making the
republican plurality it,!U". While
this is, of cour.se, a falling off from tlio
phenomenal plurality of lAO, 10S given
to Gov. Morton last year, it shows a
large gain over Palmer's plurality of
:M,ISIiti 18!i:;, the lastouic" year, Both
brandies of tho state legislature will
bo republican by a majority of more
than two to one. Although Tammany
elected most of the assemblymen in
the eity. the seats gained by the re
publicans in the state makes the total
membership 102 republicans and 48
democrats, which with the present
complexion of the senate gives a re
publican majority of 11 on joint ballot.
Tammany carried New York eity by
about 2.'), 000.
Iowa is republican this year by from
00,000 to 70,000 plurality. Returns
from seventy-three out of ninety-nine
counties show that lion. IVake, repub
lican candidate for governor, has
gained 2,'i.OO.) over the Jackson vote for
governor in W.W. Tlio general assem
bly is overwhelmingly republican, as
suring the return of Senator Allison.
In Massachusetts the corrected re
turns show that (iov. Green ha lire is re
elected by 03,111 plurality, which is
1,033 votes above his plurality last
year. Municipal sull'rago for women
defeated by a majority estimated at
over 7.1.000.
In Kansas the total vote will prob
ably not reach more than L'.'IO.ooo. Chief
Justice Martin received about 12.",000
votes und a liberal estimate for llolii
day would be (S:.,()0().
In Virginia, returns indicate Hint tho
democrats elected their candidates in
lifted! of the twenty senatorial dis
tricts, and that tlio next senate will
stand ill democrats and 0 opposition.
The anti-ilemocrats elected probably
'21 of tho 100 members of the new
house.
In Mississippi the latest returns give
a democratic majority of from -Ti.OOO
to 30,000.
THE ARMENIAN QUESTION.
(.'ominentH or London Nowxpipers on the
AiiilMtsMidnrM' A.-lion in ( niist'tlitlmiple.
London, Nov. . --Editorials in tho
morning papers dwell upon the gravity
of the announcement from Home that
the powers have decided to take joint
action in regard to Armenia. The
i'ost (conservative) say : "The ambas
sadors incurred a terriblo responsibil
ity and have hinted a threat that
means nothing loss than tlio occupa
tion of Turkey. Is England prepared
to acquiesce?"
The Graphic says that it is reopening
tlio eastern ijuostlon with a vengeance.
It leads to tho llussian .occupation of
Armenia.
The Dally Nows say: "It is tho be
ginning of tho ond. Tlio cabinet met'
ytssiorouy ana mum MiitHiniry must
necessarily huvo approve-J of this diplo
matic otr.oke. Turkey is now within
measurable distance of dlcruption and
partition."

the bar in front of Justice Fhunmer in
the Jefferson Market police court, und
waving his right hand, exclaimed:
"Let her wavel"
"Let what wavel" asked Justice
Fhuuiuer.
"The cold wave."
"How is that?"
"That is why I was drunk. I was
trying to keep out the cold wave."
"Well, I'll put you where it won't
reach you for ten days. The fine is
ten dollars, and I won't walvo it,
