ttio Surprise of the Kluo
tloei I
All day the election was tbo favorite .sub
ject of convcriatlon on the street corners.
Tbo front windows of the newspaper odious
wcro tilled With telegrams giving the latest
returns from Iowa , Ohio and Now York , and
each now bulletin was road with the greatest
Interest , tno public being apparently us
anxious to learn how tbo election was pro
gressing in the eastern states at in Iowa ,
Durlni : the night , after election , the streets
wore thronged with citizens , and many neg
lected to go homo until breakfast tlmo , in
order that tboy might not' miss a word of the
reports that came In every few minutes by
telegraph. Many of the early reports worn
favorable to tbo republicans , and the spirits
of the Wheeler men rose accordingly. As
the returns kept coming In the democrats
kept growing more and moro blue , until the
tldo suddenly turned , and the democrats
began to think tboy wore still on earth.
When morning came it found the judges
and clerks still at work in the Second and
Third wards. Those who did the counting
in the Second ward got badly mixed up by
some means and wore unable to make their
accounts chccK. After manv fruitless en
deavors to patch up the difllculty lhde
cided the only way was to go all over the
counting attain , and it wus not until : J0 : !
o'clock In the afternoon that the exact re
sults coulu bo obtained.
By noon all tbo wards had their reports In
excepting the Second , and nil the townships
but live from tbo rounty wore in. At that
tlmo tbo ruturn.s showed that Boles had
a total vote of : lsi'J to Wheeler's -Mis" , giv
ing Boles a majority of IKM. Oronowcg's
votes numbered ; i , < M to Sbugart'a.b.ri , civ-
Ing him a majority of s.V.l. while thu majority
of the democratic candidates for the legisla
ture wcro about the same. IIa/.cn , demo
cratic candidate for sheriff , received , II , HO ,
and Seanlan . ' 1,207 , giving Htuon a majority
of'If ! .
After the returns wore In from the Second
wa-d it was found that Seanlan had run a
lobg way ahead of his ticket in this ward ,
and while Boles' majority was \ 2 over
Whooler.Scanlan's majority over Ilnzcn was 3.
Tbo thing that caused the most comment ,
probably , of anything connected with the
election , was the HgUt made oy Seanlan.
Tuesday night at midnight many prominent
democrats conceded bis election by u small
majority , and these democrats wore hardly
moro surprised than wore Seanlan'a friends
when they learned that ho had missed the
mark by about 200 votes.
The majority of Gronowctr , democratic
candidate for the senate , In the Second ward
Is 101. Jt is evident , therefore , that the
whole democratic lickot Is elected in the
county , unless a land slide should liapnon to
come In to the assistance of Seanlan In the
live townships still unho.mt Irom , and at
last accounts the landslide had not put in an
appearance.
Thostatoand county tickets monopoli/.ed
the interest of the public to the entire ex
clusion of tbe township ticket. The Judges
in every ward failed to make any
memorandum of I ho vote on the township
ticket , so that thu candidates lor Justice of
the peace , constable and township trustee
are compelled to wait until some time in the
future to learn who arc the luckv Individuals.
Tbo latest returns , received last evening.
Including reports from every township in
the county , show tbo majorities of a part of
the democratic candidates to bo as follows :

A suit was commenced in the district court
yesterday by Margaret Cilbort against Eu
gene A. Ingoldsby and Thomas Ingoldsby ,
which has connected with it quite a story of
domestic dlftlcultics. In her petition the
plaintiff allcgcj that she is the daughter of
Mary Ingoldsbv , now deceased , and that she
formerly resided in Btoubansvlllc1 , O. She
agreed to live with her mother and put all
her earnings into a homestead , the only con
dition being that she should have the home
stead when her mother died. In this way she
put In ? t,700. After the homo was paid for ,
she claims bur mother had a deed executed
to tbo property , In the name of
Owen Ingoldsby , the stop father
of the plaintiff , but that ho
paid nothing for It and only held it In trust.
They then moved to this city , where Alary
Iiieoldsby , tbo mother of the plaintiff , bought
of John ( iilbertand Mary E. IHlbcrt a lot In
Hyatt's subdivision , having the deed made
out in favor of Thomas Ingold&by , although
the latter paid nothing for the property.
Owen and Mary Ingoldsby , it Is further al
legedtnon sold the homestead In Ohio which
had been earned by the wages of thu plain-
tllf , and with the proceeds purchased another
lot in this city , on which they made Improve
ments to the amount of several thousand
dollars , alter which she deeded tno p operty ,
without consideration , to Eugene Ingoldsby ,
tbo defendant. In IhS * the mother of the
plaintiff niadn her will , in which she cut olt
all her children with $1 each , excepting
Kiigenoand to him she willed the property
which was worth about$1,500. It Is alleged
in the petition that when Mrs. Ingoldsbv
made the will she was not of sound mind ,
and that ICuconu Ingoldsby made use of that
fact to defraud his brothers and sisters out
of their shale of tbe property. It Is claimed
that ho has been collecting thu rents of the
property , amounting to about Sr.Vipor month ,
and has been converting them to Ills own use.
Tno plaintiff asks that the will lie sot abide
ai.d declared null and void , and that tbo de
fendants be compelled to como Into court and
make an account of all the money that has
been received from the estate so far.

Hoi-rilily Cruel Tr iiuiiient of an In-
lane by ItH llrutnl Father.
TOITKA , Kan. , Nov.I. . Frank McLuln , a
scavenger , Is under arrest for the murder of
his U-monlhs'-old son. The cnild died yes
terday morning and MoLalti appealed to the
county for aid in burying It. A eonlnas
turnlsbod.
Mcl.uln has three young daughters who
told lu school yesterday th.it their fattier had
taken the baby by the heels and pounded U
ngalnst the door. Ttio story was spread by
tbo school children and this morning the
police were notltkM. Tboy arrived at the
house just In tlmo to Hud McLalu making
preparations for burying tbo child.
The body was taken charge of by the po
lice and a post mortem examination was held
mis forenoon. The examination proved beyond -
yond u doubt that thu child had been treated
hi tbo most brutal manner. The face was
covered with scars , the left oardoeplv gushed
ou the luucr Ido uud tbe body bruised lu
novcrnl places. The loft Irif win broken and
the doctors say the fracture was as at best
but two weeks old.
Coroner B.illey had an Inquest. The Jtirv
decided tb.it the child had como to Its death
as u result of wilful and malicious Inhuman
treatment nt the hands of Frank McLaln , Its
father
It was only by the foresight of tbe sheriff
that McLaln escaped the vciiROMica of n mob
tonight. As soon as tbo resultof thocoronci's
Inqucn boon mo known , n mob began to
collect around the city Jail. By 7 o'clock
. ' 1.0JO people , clamoring for the murderer's
life , surrounded tbo place. The olllcers as-
surcd the leaders of thn mob that McLaln
was not conllncd there , hut they needed
more substantial insurance than thoofllcors
word , who wore bent on saving the prisoner's
life. They threatened to break into the Jail
unless a committee wcro allowed to search it
ami satisfy themselves that McLam was not
there.
After some delay this was llnatly permitted
and the committee reported that the prisoner
was not to bo found.
The mob then moved on to the county jail ,
where the same tactics wcro pursued , but
McLam was nut to be found.
It then become whrspcrcd about that the
murderer hud been secreted In the county
court house , which was furnished with cells ,
but which have not been In use for some
time. The building was securely locked but
the mob promptly broke In , and with torches
Improvised out of rolls of newspapers and
pine sticks , made a thorough search of the
place. Still McLaln was not found. The
sheriff then , not knowing whcro the mob
might stop in Its search , addressed them and
assured them that McLaln had been removed
to u place of safety beyond their reach. A
portionpf the crowd then dispersed , while
the rest remained In the streets. It Is be
lieved that McLaln has been secreted hi tbo
insane. * asylum and the mob may search' that
place.

"Tho Senator , " If it had no other claim for
enthusiastic recognition , would command
respect , because It gives hope and comfort to
many as an yet unllodirod playwright who
may unfold Into n genius in the future be
neath the warm r.iys of fluttering apprecia
tion with which. It has been universally
received. _
It places the American drama upon a
higher plane than it ever enjoyed bclorc , and
it marks an epoch in the literary life of our
times whose influence c.innot help but hi
productive of good. With such play.s as
' Sbenandoah , " "Charity Ball , " "Men and
Women , " being written by native authors ,
there is every reason to hope lor a more ex
alted native drama than has yet boon vouch
safed us.
Last evening n magnificent audience as
sisted nt tbo opening production of "Tho
Senator" at ' house and
Boyd's opera , never
has a play or players been moro enthusiasti
cally received. 'Mr. Crane , warmed
by tbo kindly reception accorded
him played with dclighUul force. Senator

Senator lilvers Is a type of American char
acter new to tbe stage , and acceptable to the
sense and experience. lie Is In a general

as thoroughly refreshing as he
Is unconventional. i'hcre is moro

is oven "more actuality to him than there was
In Solon Shingle.
lie is a part of the life of the nation. "He
is intensely American In that ho is severe
without being serious , " was a tribute paid
to a late president of the United States
by ono of her representative sons ,
and this description could with justice bo
applied to Senator Rivers. The lobby in
Washington ; tbo flirting widow with a sen
ator in her eye , but finally content to link
tier fortunes with a lieutenant ; the foreign
adventurer , the Chinese embassy , the polit
ical shark , the methods of obtaining votes for
a bill , the long sufferinc claimant whoso
claim has not had oven respectful considera
tion these are some of the elements which
pass like the bit of glass in a kaleidoscope
before the ga o of the audieuco.
Mr. Crane is supported by a strong com
pany , every ono of whom Is worthy of indi
vidual mention , for they play their parts
with unusual ability , in keeping with the
pronounced reputation of the master player.
Miss Ilnttic Uussoll makes much of the
character of the widow Mr. Hilary , her
comedy being delightful , her boisterousness
and vivacity as thoroughly refreshing.
Jcsio Armstrong is In the hands of Miss
Uladys Wallls. It would bo hard to imagine
how the port could bo improved upon , for
Miss Wallis is artistic from the top of her
pretty head to her foot and she completely
enraptured the audience with her girlish , in
genuous ways. Mrs. Augusta Foster played
the intrceuanto intelligently and well. Miss
Annie O'Neill and Miss Katherine Florence
were both judiciously cast.
Mr. J. C. I'adcott won the favor of the
audience by Ills careful delineation of Silas
Donmun , a relic of the days of Webster. It
was a beautiful performance and merited tbe
kind things said of it.
Mr Bergman , always a careful actor , made
a hit as the adventurer ATon Straght. Mr.
Frawlev in the eccentric comedy character
'
of St. Schtiyler , U. S. A. , gave a'finished in
terpretation of the role , which is by no means
overdrawn , as members of tbo Second in- ,
f an try who wore present will testify.
Mr Noill was excellent as the private sec
ret nry.
It is fashionable those days to bo Ameri
can , especially in Omaha , as the election of
Tuesday will testify , and therefore "i'ho
Senator" should bo soon by all lovers of u
thoroughly original American character.

Edgar Wilson Nye , otherwise Bill
Nye , is writing a series of autobiograph
ies for tlio Century. from the first pa
per , in the November number , wo quote
as follows : "I forgot to say that the of-
lice was not a salaried ono , but solely de
pendent upon fees , the county furnish
ing only tlio copy of tlio Revised Stat
utes and 11 woolsack , slightly ana pro-
mattirolv bald. So while I was called
Judge Nye , and frequently mentioned in
the papers with great consideration , I
was out of coal about lialf the time , and
once could not mail my letters for three
weeks because I did not have the neces
sary postage. Friends in the eastern
states may possibly recall thotimo when
my correspondence , from some unknown
cause , seemed to Hag. That was the
time. Of course I could have borrowed
the money , but I had , and still have ,
foolish horror of borrowing money. a
did not mind running an account , bu t
hated to borrow.
"Tho lirst business that I had was a
marriage ceremony. I met the groom
on the street. Ho asked if I could marry
people. I said that I could to u limited
extent. Ho said that ho wanted to got
married. I asked him to secure the
victim and I would trot the other in
gredients. Ho thea "wished to know
where my ollieo was. It occurred to mo
at that moment that there was no lire in
the slovo ; also , no coal ; also , that the
west half of the steve hurt fallen in dur
ing the night. So I .said that I would
marry them at their homo. Ho m-iin-
taincd that , his homo was over eighty
miles away and that it would consume
too much time to go there.

" 'Wo met hero , 'Squire. She como
in on the Lust Chance stage and I'm
camped up in Goy'ment canon , not fur
from Soldier Crick. Wo can go out
there , I reckon. '
"I did not mind the ride , so I locked
my olllce , secured a boou of forms , and
meeting tlio young people at the livery
stublo wont out with them and married
them in a rambling , desultory sort of
way.

ago. The rich GiibUliua blood of the
cave-dwellers mantled in her cheek
along with tlio navy-blue blood of Con
necticut on her father's side. Her
hair was like the wing of a
raven , and she wore n tiara
of clam shells about her beetling brow
Her bracelet was a costly fairing of front
tooth , selected from the early settlers at
the fool of Independence Mountain.
With tlio shrewdness of n Yankee and
the hauteur of a savatro she combined
tlio grotesque grammar of Pike county
and the charming naivete of the cow-
puncher. She was called Beautiful
Snow. But I think it was mostly in a
spirit of banter. She was no longer
young. I asked her , witli an air of bad
inage , if she romum'borod Pl/.arro , but
plio replied that she WIIH away from homo
when ho came through. The cave
dwellers wore a serious people. Their
plumbing was very , serious indeed ; BO
also wore their jokes , Ilor features wore
rather classic , however , and I was
about to say cloau-cut , but on moro ma
ture thuugfit I will not say that. Ilor
nose was bright and piercing. It resem
bled the hi east bone of n sand-hill crane.
"Tho groom was n'mnii of great cour
age and hold human life at a very low
figure. That is why ho married Beau
tiful Snow without flinching ; also why I
have refrained from mentioning hi *
n.ime ; also why I kissed tlio bride. 1
did not yearn to kiss hor. There wore
others who had claims on me , hut I did
not wish to glvo needless pain to the
groom , and so I did it. Ho imd no
money , but tmid ho had a saddle which
if I could use I was welcome to. I did
not have anything to put the saddle on
at homo , but rather than return empty-
handed I took it. "

Men's shoes.
The fashionable shoo for this fall and
winter is the Hluohor , with Piccadilly
too. This is the thiup for both moil and
women. It is made up in a great vari
ety of style ? appropriate to a corresponding
spending variety of circumstances. Of
course , says tlio Now Yorlc Sun , tlioro
are many widths made , and all , even
tlio widest , may bo said to bo fashion
able , for the reason that very many
stylish people bolt the fashion plates
when it couius to footwear. But the
fact stands that bharper toes even than
those in vojjuo in the sprlntf are regarded -
garded as the most stylish , and are by
all odds the most popular with this boa-
bon's buyers.
If you are is search of u stylish street
shoo your dealer will ( irst of all show
you an all patent leather Bluclior with
medium thick solos and Piccadilly toes.
It is a showy shoo , out high and of shin
ing bliu'k to the very top. Ho will toll
you that this is the "proper thing , "
particularly for afternoons. Ho will
point out of his Broadway window and
show you do/.uns of woll-drossod men
wearing this stylo. Ho will also bhow
you the same shoo with a cork solo , but
will toll you that this , though warmer ,
is little worn.
If you do not want patontloathorsyour
dealer will next show you an all-calf
Blucher with the Piccadilly too. This
you will lind an eminently bonsiblo as
well as a stylish shoo. It is also to bo
had with London and French toos.
The big stool gun that is being made
nt tlio Bethlehem Iron works for the now

weigh 138/100 pounds. This monster will
carry a charge of fi50 pounds of powder ,
and its projectile will wolgh 1,100 pounds ,
or half a ton !
