'Killed by a Dynamite Bomb.
New York, Oct. 22. Hamlin J. Andrus,
secretary "of the Arlington Chemical
works, located in Palisade avepue. Yonk
ers, was instantly killed yesterday by a
dynamite bomb, which the police think was
placed there for the purpose of destroying
life and property. There is a deep air of
mystery about the entire affair, and one
particularly sensational rumor is afloat.
The body of the victim was frightfully
mangled by the explosion, and death must
have come instantly. It is, believed the
bomb was placed there with the intention
of killing John F. Andru. brother of
the dead man, who is many times a mil
lionaire. The ' police, however, believe
that Andrus wcis experimenting with a
bomb of his own invention, intended for
burglars. " - ' - ' :
Still Destroying' Kentucky Tollgates.
Frankfokt, Ky., Oct. 26. The tollgate
raiders have not left a tollgate on a single
pike in Franklin county undisturbed, and
the owners of these roads are very much
incensed at the destruction of their prop
erty and will take such action as will
bring the raiders to justice. Saturday
night a mob of about a hundred "men came
down the Lawrenceburg pike destroying
all the toll gates as they entered Frank
fort. They then went out the Louisville
pike from Frankfort, laying to the ground
the gates as they rode along in the moon
light and defying interference by the toll
gate keepers. :

Betsy li. llobbs was found dead. She
lived alone about one and a half miles
from Effingham, N. H. When found the
house was burning and her body half cre
mated. The mystery was cleared Satur

murder. A coroner's jury has brought in
a verdict against Palmer of murder in the
first degree. Savage was held as a wit
ness. Palmer is 16 years old and lives at
West Paihonfefield. Savage is 20 years old.
He declares thai, Palmer killed Mrs. Hobbs

Chances Favor Kepnblicans. ,
WEST VIRGINIA. ,
, Wheeling, Oct. 25. The situation in
West Virginia at this time is that the
heaviest vote in the history of the State
will be polled, and the chances are de
cidedly favorable" to the Republicans.
Among the campaign managers the re
publicans seem to have the most confi
dence, and their poll of the counties
shows that they have 'sa,-: .47 on rid 'for
their claim of. a plurality of votes.
Chairman Dawson says that the plural
ity will not fall short of that qf 1S94,
which was 13,000. He also claimed all
four Congressional districts.
The Democrats concede the First
District, and claim the State by about
8,000 plurality. The Populist-Demo
cratic fusion, on both State and Na
tional tickets, is now complete, but
Republican managers claim it will not
figure largely, as the sound money
Democratic vote, they say, wilout
number Populists, who only cast 3,500
votes in 1S94 and 4,000 in 1892.
The Democratic Committee say that
'a'sejpret poll taken by them proves the
falsity of Republican claims. The State
is claimed by Republicans by a majori
ty of 7,oco.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Oct. 25. The leaders
of both parties here are making ex
travagant claims for publication.
Chairman Gowdy says that the State
will give its electoral vote to'McKin
ley; and that the Republican State tick
et and legislative candidates are equal
ly safe.. He will talk oi nothing short
ol 40,000 majority for McKinley. Chair
man Martin asserts with equal confi
dence that Bryan will carry the State.
He does not enter into details, but is
clearly looking for a landslide. Indi
ana is more rampant for Bryan to-day,
than at any time since the campaign
opened.
-A level-headed Republican" who has
stumped the State said to-day, that he
expected McKinley to carry the State!
by 10,000 majority. He thought if the
Republicans controlled the Legislature
it would be a very slender margin. He
admitted a big republican defection
among the farmers, and thought this
might reach 15,000 votes. His esti
mate of the gold Democratic bolt was
20,000. He said the Democrats in
riiany sections were "Bryan crazy, "
and he had never before known so
much feeling in an Indiana campafgn.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, Oct. 25. It ;is generally ad
mitted that the Republican candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
and the fusion candidates for the other
I State offices will be elected in th;s
State. The total vote will be not less
than 300,000. . The fusion vote' two
. years ago for Congressmen was 150,000
I and the Democratic vote was 126,000.
1 The new election law will increase the
combined Republican and Populist
vote to, i8o,coo. The iusion of the
Democrats 1 and Populists on Bryan
: will run his vote greatly beyond the
vote for Watson for Governor.
! Nearly all the Populists of Republic
I can antecedents will vote for McKinly.
1 The result for President depends -upon
the size of the gold Democratic vote
; the number, of Democrats who, will not
I vote for the Bryan' Watson-electors,
land the middle-of-the-road Populists
I who will not vote for the Bryan-Sewall
i electors. What the defection from
these sources will be cannot be calcu
lated . It may be enough to give the
State to McKinley, but the chances fa
vor Bryan. The Republicans are solid
for McKinley and are confident that
roldbug Democratic vote will throw
the State to McKinley.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Oct. 25. The outrage on
Secretary Carlisle at Covington, the
great sound money demonstration in
this city Saturday night,, participated
in by thousands from all over-the State
and the sober second thought that has
set in with people who think at. aii,
seem to have taken Kentucky from the
doubtful column and placed it solidly
in the McKinley and sound money line.
Conservative people think that the
State will go for McKinley almost cer
iranly. The total vote w ill be about
400,000, an increase of 25,000 over the
highest vote yet Cast in the State. N
Bryan and McKinley will come to
Louisville about even, and the majori
ty this city gives will be the majority
in this. State. This will be anywhere
from 8,000 to 15,000. 'Palmer and Buck
ner may poll 20,000 votes in the States
but this is even doubtful. The Cov
ington incident is changing many votes
from Palmer to McKinley.
IOWA.
Des Moines, Oct. 25. About the
middle of the Coming week 'the Repub
lican State Central Committee, will is
sue a statement claiming Iowa by hi
least 50,00,0 majority for McKinley, and
declaring it possible that the. majority
may reach 90,000. The statement will
be a serious declaration of the belief of
the cornmittee, and will not be. issued
for political effect. The silver Demo
crats have issued a statement, in which
they claim the State, but make' no, fig
ures. They qualify their, declaration
by the.statement that if McKinley car
ries Iowa it will be by fraud. In this
stlement the Populist State Commit
tee has joined. The, claims by the Sil
ver CentraJ Committee is that Bryan
will carry the State. 7 V ' .
' J -. TENNESSEE.
Nashville, Oct. 25. The Democratic
managers in Tennessee enter upon the
last week of the campaign confident
that Bryan and Sewall will carry the
State, and that R. L. Taylor will be
elected Governor, along with the Leg:
islature. At headquarters all sorts of
estimates are given out, but to careful
observers it would seem that Bryan
would have from 20.000 to' 25,000 plu
rality, and that Taylor will win over
George N. Tillman, the Republican
Gubernatorial nominee, by a majority
a majority of at least 12,060. The Pop
ulist vote in Tennessee numbers about
24,000. Bryan will get this vote al
most solidly, while Taylor will cut into
it very largely. Some, of the strongest
Populists in the State are in'open re
bellion against their State Committee,
and are yvorking for Bryan and Sewall.
From this State all silver Congressmen
will be elected. - - : -
NEBRASKA;' "
Lincoln, Oct. 25. With election day
but a little over a week away, Nebras
ka can still, be claimed among the
doubtful States, so doubtful that no
man, aside from a party manager, who
has a political reputation to sustain,
would care to hazard a certain predic
tion as to the outcome. The past week
has witnessed by far the hottest cam
paign ever known in Nebraska, and if
any advantage has been gained by
either side it is clearly with the Repub-'
licans.' Speakers of national repua
tion have been poured into the State
by wholesale. Not a county has been
neglected, and theveffect is certainly
felt. The masses of this State feel sure
it is for Bryan. The Republicans have
organized thoroughly and are doing
some hard work. ;
MINNESOTA. 7 '
St. Paul, Oct. 25 According to the
Republican indications now point to
McKinley 's carrjing Minnesota by 15,
000 upward. Tawney will'probably be
elected by an increased majority, as"
will McCleary. Heatwole is expected
to get 2,000 majority. Stevens will
likely be elected by 4,000 upward.'
Flether will probably be re-elected,
but the situation in iMinneapolis is hard
to determine, towne ancl Morris are
fighting hard in the Sixth and both
claim a certain victory. It is reported
that Towne's supporters are frading
Bryan for him. Eddy has the most
desperate fight, and the odds of ?ioo
majority to be overcome are tho Jit
by many too heavy. ' .
State Committee, claims the State for
Bryan by a safe majority, but will give
no figures. He claims that the disaf
fection from the Republican forces on
account of the silver issue is greater
than! the. managers count on, more than
1 : "V i
sufficient to offset the Palmer Demo
crats. This, with the aid the Demo-
7 - .
crats hope to receive from the class
known as the laboring men will more
i - -
than turn the State from McKinley.
