the time of going to press from Gra

ties. From no county in the district have
anything like complete returns been
received.
From the data at hand, the follow
ing estimate is made of the district:
Moody has probably carried

These figures show a- majority for
Major Moody of only 305 in the dis
trict, which is less than was expected,
and far too small to be comfortable.
It is hoped that more complete re
turns will tell a pleasanter tale.

NEW YORK REPUBLICAN
BY A LARGE MAJORITY
I 3
New York Journal Concedes Odell's Election by 15,000
Pennsylvania's Enormous Majority Re
publican Gains Throughout the North.
New York, Nov. 5. The five boroughs
of Greater Kew York give Bird S.
;C11 democratic candidate for gov
ernor, a plurality of about 199,000 ovi.r
Odell, against the estimate of Tamnany
Leader Murphy of 12,000; republicans'1
election of eleven congressmen in New
York county against two elected to
present congress out of nine hominees.
The republicans elect one of 12 state
senators in New York county, a loss of
one as against 1900 when they elected
four assemblymen against 10 in D.'JGO. 1
Indications this morning are that Tam
many has elected its three Supreme
court candidates for New York county.
Governor Odell carries ural iistricts
that have a plurality sufficient to over
come Coler's local plurality, which 'to
taled over 84,000 in the boroughs of
Manhattan and Bronx. Tt has been a
long time since Nw York has given
over 80,000 to a democrolie candidate
and the same proportion democratic
strength was shown in Brooklyn, Rich
and Queens boroughs. The republicans
carry the senate by 29 to 21 democrats,
and 88 in the housP to 62 democrats.
Upstate counties showed aggressive re
mblican strength. In Albany Odell
gained 7000 over Roosevelt in 189S and
Erie gained 3000.
At 11 o'clock Senator Piatt stated
that Odell will come to the Bronx
with 133,000 plurality. At republican
headquarters the state is claimed by
from 10,000 to 15,000.
Queen siborough: The only one of the
five boroughs in the Greater city that
was carried by Shepard (dem.) for
mayor last year gave an estimated plU'
rality for Coler of 5500. This was about
1500 more than had been estimated by
the party leaders.
New York, Nov. 4. The New York
Journal estimates Odell's election by
16,000. The Herald estimates less than
lf,000 for Odell but flashes him as a
positive winner at that figure.
NEW YORK CITY.
New York, Nov. 4. (Associated
Press.) The returns show that Ed
ward B. Amend, Vernon N. Davis and
Edward E. McCall, the Tammany
democratic candidates, were elected to
the Supreme court bench by plural
ities ranging from 70,000 to 80,000.
Their opponents were William A.

FATAL CUTTING
Yesterday a man named Black was
cut to death by one Tom Young in
Upper Hominy. The immediate cau-.e
was a quarrel over elections although
bad blood had existed between the nen
for some time. The affray took place
in the road not far from the voting
place. Both men were under the influ
ence of whiskey and Black commenced
cutting at Young with a pocket knife,
ripping his coat in several places.
Young gave back until he opened his
own knife and then he pierced Black's
lung and ripped open his abdomen.
The wound was dressed by a physi
cian but Black soon died. Young was
brought to Asheville and is now in jail
here.

equally noteworthy.
New York, Nov. 4. Election day in
Greater New York dawned with the
weather perfect and the voters were
out early in large numbers. In a
number of assembly districts 25 per
cent, of the registered vote had been
cast at 8:30 o'clock, and the leaders in
some districts predicted that the entire
vote would be cast by noon.
About 40 arrests for illegal voting
were reported before 9 o'clock. In one
assembly district there was great ex
citement. Rival leaders came, to blows1
near an election 'booth, and policemen
conducting several prisoners to a sta
tion house were attacked by a mob.
In the struggle one of the prisoners es
caped. Nobody was badly hurt.
Police Commissioner Partridge sur
prised the community, especially the
political leaders at work in the various
precincts, by suddenly shifting 800 po
licemen from their regular beats fo
parts of the city strange to them. In
addition to this, the state superintend
ent of elections for the Metropolitan
district had 600 deputies on guard in
various election districts. Where these
men were to be placed was kept secret
until today, the superintendent saying
it would defeat his purpose to make
the fact known before election day.
Se.veral voting machines were in use
An entire state ticket was voted for,
; including a justice of the court of ap
' rnis. a legislature

STATEMENT
OF THEMINERS
REASONS FOR THEIR CONTEN
TIONS SET OUT BY
MITCHELL.
Hazelton, Pa., Nov. 4. The state
ment of the anthracite mine workers
case, which was filed with the strike
commission on Sunday night, was
made public today. Copies of " the
statement have been furnished to the
operators, who will reply in three or
four days. The miners' statement in
full is as follows:
MINERS' STATEMENT.
To the Anthracite Coal Strike Commis
sion: The mine workers made of the oper
ators the following demands, which
were formulated by the Shamokin
convention, held March 18 to 24, and
for the enforcement of which the
strike was inaugurated:
First. An increase of 20 per cent,
upon the price paid during the year
1901 to employes performing contract
or piece work. This demand is made
on account of the following reasons:
1. The present rate of wages Is
much lower than the rate of wages
paid in the bituminous coal fields for
substantially similar work.
2. The present rate of wages is lower
than is paid in other occupations re
quiring equal skill and training.
3. The average annual earnings in
the anthracite coal fields are much less
than the average annual earnings in
the bituminous coal fields for substan
tially similar work.
4. The average annual earnings in
the anthracite coal fields are much
less than the average annual earnings
for occupations requiring equal skill
and training.
5. The rate of wages in the an
thracite coal fields is insufficient to
compensate the mine workers in view
of the dangerous character of the oc
cupation in relation to accidents, the
liability to serious and permanent dis
ease, the high death rate and the short
grade of life incident to this employ
ment. 6. The annual earnings of the mine
workers are insufficient to maintain
the American standard of living.
7. The increased price of living has
made it impossible to maintain a fair
standard of life upon the bass of
present wages and has not only pre
vented the mine workers from securing
any benefit from increased prosperity,
but has made their condition poorer
on account of it.
8. The wages of the anthracite
mine workers ar so low that their
children are prematurely forced into
the breakers and mills, instead of be
ing supported and educated upon the
earnings of their parents.
9. Wages are below the fair and
