HARDIN GIVES UP THE GHOST He Concedes Bradley’s Election, but Takes Hts Defeat Cheerfully—Says He Did His Whole Duty—The Leg islature Stands 05 Democrats and 09 Anti-Democrats-The Populists Hold the Balance of Power—Secretary Carlisle Hears the News. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 6.— Republican claims and Democratic concessions show to-night that not only has Kentucky elected the full Republican State ticket, but that the complexion of the Legisla ture assures a Republican successor to United States Senator Blackburn. State Auditor Norman, the Democratic campaign chairman, in a statement to the Commercial, said that Blackburn’s defeat is assured. “The Republicans, with the help of the Populists, will assuredly control the Legislature”, he said, “and Blackburn is sure to be defeated. Kentucky is now a Republican State. The public wanted a change and they took it, the Republi cans being aided by both Populists and A. P. A’s. No one coild have carried Kentucky at this election, not even Car lisle”. Dr. W. G. Hunter, chairman of the Republican State Campaign Committee, refused to make any estimate as to ma majority. “The Republican ticket is elected by round pluralities.” he said, “and the Legislature will be Republican on joint ballot, but I won’t make any guesses. I am waiting for authentic figures.” A special to the Evening Post from Harrodsburg, Ky., says: Gen. Hardin, who is at his brother’s home in this city, concedes Bradley’s election from the re turns received He takes his defeat cheerfully, and says he did his whole duty. A special to the Evening Post from Lancaster, Ky., says: Colonel Bradley is receiving congratulations from all over the Btate this morning. At one o’clock he represented himself to the Evening Post correspondent as certain of election with 15,000 majority. The legislature appears to be sixty-five Democrats against sixty-nine opposition. The Populists bold the balance of power. Blackburn’s friends claim his election with the aid of the Populists. A special from Lexington Ky., says: Democrats here concede the election of Bradley (Republican) for Governor from between eight and ten thousand. The silver Democrats are bitter in their de nunciation of President Claveland and Secretary Carlisle, and charge them with the responsibility of the sweeping de feat. Carlisle Hears the News. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 6.—A pri vate telegram received here from Mr. Van Senden, Secretary Carlisle’s private secretary, now in Kentucky, states that Bradley is elected Governor by from 4,- 000 to 8,000 majority. Both Democrats and Republicans are inclined to accept these figures as au thentic. GOOD SHOWING IN NEBRASKA. _ * Republican Ticket Was Not Elected l»jr the Old Time Majority. Omaha, Neb., Nov. o.—Returns from the State are not yet complete, but are sufficient to show surprising strength in the administration of Democracy, so called, or Hard Money wing of the par ty. Mahoney, for Supreme Judge, will probably have three times the vote of the silver candidate. The Republican State ticket is elected but not by the old time majority, since the Populists continue to manifest con siderable strength. The Populist ticket runs several thousand behind the lie publican but is heavier than was expect ed. The vote polled does not represent the full number by probably 20,000 owing to the indifference incident to the certainty of Republican victory and in clement weather in many parts of the State. Omaha and Douglass county was cap tured completely by the A. P. A. Re publicans. Tne vote was quite heavy as compared with previous years, but party strength cannot be compared, sinee the contest was along lines not hitherto known. W. J. Broatch is mayor by over 500 plurality over Carles Brown, citizens’ candidate. WILL CONTEST THE ELECTION. Brook I in’* Mayoralty Contest'Wili he Transferred to the Courts. Brooklyn, N. Y., November B. It looks now as if the Mayoralty con test would be transferred to the courts. Mr. Grout refuses to concede the election X)f Mr. Wurster and the regular Demo cratic campaign committee has retained Gen. Almet F. Jenks and Abram H. Dailey to look after Mr. Grout’s interest. A meeting of the regular executive com mittee has been called for the purpose of taking further action in the matter. Mr. Grout this afternoon was asked if he conceded the election ot Mr. Wurster. “I do not,” he replied; “for the reason that it was evident that the returns that came out of police headquarters, as they came last night, were not to be relied upon. They did not come with the uniformity and regularity that the re turns came on the State ticket. When it came to the mayoralty the county returns first were all for Wurster and then for Grout. While they were all my way, certain well known Republicans were out trying to place bets. After an hour or two, they returned to Wurster again. When they began to turn to Wurster, the police de partment issued a state of figures and in half an hour admitted an error of a cou* pie of thousand in their statement. I do not care anything about the police department returns. This vote has got to be canvassed. There will be every means takeu to properly examine this vote.” Brooklyn city complete, for Mayor Wurster (Republican) 77,527; Grout (Regular Democrat) 75,314; Shepard (Reform Democrat) 9,455; Wurster’s plu rality 2,214.

Republican, Gov ernor by at least 18,000 majority, carry ing along with him in the office the rest of the State ticket, the Controller and Attorney General. The House of Dele gates will perhaps have more than sixty Republicans. The Senate will be close, with the chances in favor of a Republi can majority. On joint ballot the Re publicans will, no doubt, have a safe majority. Baltimore city vote for Governor, com plete: 'Lowndes (Republican), 55,110; Hurst (Democrat), 43,327; Levering (Pro hibitionist), 2,377; Andrews (Populist and Socialist), 433.

The Republican Candidate go in by a Plurality ol 66,935. New York, Nov. 6.—The total un official vote of the Secretary of State is: King, dem., 505,590; Palmer, rep., 572,- 525. This makes Palmer’s plurality 66,935. The vote in 1893 was Palmer, 545,098; Meyer, 520,014. Palmer’s plurality in 1893, 24,484. A list of the new Legislature by cor rected returns from nearly all election districts and careful estimates in others, show that the State Senate will consist of 85 Republicans, 14 Democrats and one Independent, and the Assembly will be made up of 99 Republicans and 51 Democrats. Tammany’s Secretary Wounded. New Yonk, Nov. 6. — John. B. Mc- Goldrick, Clerk of the Supreme Court and Secretary of Tammany Hall, is lying in a dangerous condition at his home, the result of a stab wound received in an election wrangle yesterday. Although the affair is said to have occurred at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, no report was made of it, and the first intimation of it was when Wm. DowliDg, a bar- CAMPBELL’S REVOLUTION. He was Beaten by a Plurality ol 80,* (MM) to 90,000. Columbus, 0., Nov. 6.— Chairman Anderson, of the Democratic State Com mittee. has reports and indications show ing a Republican plurity of 80,000 to 90,- 000. The causes, he says, that produced this result are the ss*.me that was in force in 1893 and 1894, unrest among the people, dissatisfaction as to financial conditions and the serious effects ot the recent panic and disturbance of trade and business. The Democracy in Ohio are united, and although defeated are not dismayed Chairman Kurtz, of the Republican State Commit! ee, says the plurality will be 95,000. House, 87 Republican, 19 Democrats; Senate, 10 Republicans, 5 Democrats, with the 32d district and twofeenators in doubt. There have been several charges in the legislative results from last night, the Democratic minority being reduced in each instance. At present the Senate will stand: Republicans 40; Democrats 0; Fusion-Populist, 1. In the House the Republicans have 87 and the Democrats 25. Rev. Mr. Hoef fer, Republican, of Darke county, and Keefer, Republican, of Sandusky, may pull through. The Republicans have a majoirity of 87 on joint ballot. Chairman Durtz, at 9 p. m., said Bushnell’s plurality would not be less than 100 000. The vote for Coxey (Pop ulist) will be about 15,000 less than last year’s Populist vote of 49,000. The only consolation for the Populists is the elec tion of W. F. Conley for State Senator in the Thirty second District Conley was endorsed by the Republicans, and de feated Lawler, of Lima, the home candi date of Senator Brice. He has declared for Foraker for Senator. BIG MAJORITY IN NEW JERSEY. The Republican Candidate Elected by 20,000 Majority.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 6.-- The Re publicans have elected the State ticket and carried the legislature by a safe majority. The State Central Committee has received returns from 163 precincts, covering portions of twenty-three coun ties, and the most populous parts ot the territory, giving Allen, (Republican) for Congress, 16,363; Roberts (Democrat) 15,712; a majority of 651, which it is claimed will be increased to 1,000. Wells majority for Governor will be con siderably larger. MASSACHUSETTS RETURNS. Greenhalge Re-Elected by a Plurality ot 63,444. Boston, Mass., Nov. 6. —Corrected re turns now at hand, show that Governor Greenhalge is re-elected by 63,444 plu rality, which is 1,933 votes less than his plurality last year. Municipal suffrage for women was de feated by a majority estimated at 76,- 880. The complexion of the Legislature is, Senate 33 Republicans; Democratic gain of one. House of Representatives: 148 Repub licans, 55 Democrats, a Democratic gain of 8. REPUBLICANS STILL COUNTING. Later Returns Increase their Maiority in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 6.—Later returns from the State in many instances increase last night’s estimate. Luzerne county, for instance, last night gave an estimate of 1,800 plurality for Haywood, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer. To-day's unofficial count gives Haywood 4,250 plurality. This county, in 1893, gave 19 majority for the Republican candidate, and last year gave Hastings, who had a plurality of 241,000 in the State, a plurality of 3,599 over Singerly. Other counties also show an increase over last night’s esti mates. If the ratio of gain is kept up it is probable the Republican plurality on the head of the ticket will be in the neighborhood of 190,000. The Superior Court judgeship lies be tween Yerkes, Smith and Magee. Returns received to night indicate pos itively that Peter P. Smith, Democrat, of Lackawanna, is the seventh member of the new Superior Court, the other six being Republicans. A REPUBLICAN LAND-SLIDE. The Republican Majority in Illinois Was 31.000 to 36.000. Chicago, Nov. 6 —The election in Cook county (Chicago), yesterday, proves to have been a Republican land-slide, the candidates of that party beiDg chosen by majorities ranging from 31,000 to 38,000. The election was for two judges of the Superior Court and nine trustees for the $30,000,000 drainage canal which is to connect Lake Michigan and the Illinois River. A CLEAN SWEEP IN KANSAS. Republicans Carried the State by 40.000 Majority. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 6 —Kansas returns to-day show the though Re publicans made practically a clean sweep of the State, carrying a majority of the counties entire and electing many of the officers of the others. C. E. Halliday, Independent candidate for Chief Justice admits David Martin, his Republican opponent, will have 40,000 majority Chairman Preideathal, of the Populist State State Central Committee, says the returns show Populist gains over last year. Ex-Chief Justice Horton said to day: “The result of the election here shows the people want re submission.” THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. The Anti-Democrats Elect 6 Senators and 24 Members oi tbe House. Richmond, Va., Nov. 6.—The Demo cratic opposition elects five Senators, as follows: Parr, of Patrick; Hale, of Franklin; McCune. of Winchester; Flan agan, of Powhatan, and Olaytor, of Ro anoke. The Legislature, with one hold over Senator to that body, will stand 34 Democrats and 6 opposition. The anti Democrats will probably have 34 mem bers of the House. They gain one in<-iK her in Augusta, two in Halifax, two, and probably three, in Pittsylvania, one in Fioyd, one in Carroll, two in Wash ington and lose one in Greensville and Sussex. A Plurality ol 60,000 in lowa. Dks M ines, lowa, Nov. 6 —lowa is Republican this year by from 60,000 to 70 000 plurality. Returns ftom73out of 99 counties, show that Gen. Drake, candidate tor Governor, has gained 23 , 000 over the Jackson vote for Governor in 1893. The same ratio means that he will carry the State by a little over 60,- 000 plurality. His colleagues on the Republican ticket are running much ahead of him, however. Ashley Phosphate Company Assign?* Charleston, Nov. 6— The Ashley Phosphate Company, one of the oldest and best known phosphate companies in South Carolina, made an assignment to W. B. Danford Frost. No statement of assets and liabilities yet issued. BURIED IN THE RUINS EXPLODING BOILERS CAUSE A LARGE BUILDING TO COLLAPSE. AND MANY PERSONS WERE KILLED To add to the Ilorrer ol the Accident the Ruins Took Fire and Great Clouds ol Smoke Impeded tbe Work of the Rescuers—More Than a Dozen Men and Women W'ere Precipitated Into the Horrible ChaoH of Ruins and Escaping Steam. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 6.— About 6 o’clock this morning the boilers in the Journal building, corner of Larned and Shelby streets, exploded with terrific force. A portion of the building about forty feet wide immediately collapsed burying scores of people in the ruins. Many girls and women were employed in the the building. Shortly after 9 o’clock the ruins broke out in flames, and the great clouds of stifling smoke seriously impeded the firemen in their work of rescue. In the third story was the Habbm Electrotype Foundry, in which there were some half dozen men. In the top story was the Journal’s sterotyping department, where four or five men were busy. The portion of the building directly above the boilers, on the first floor, was oceup ed by the Journal’s mailing de partment. About five men and boys were T .here at work. In the second story was Geo. Hiller’s book bindery, in which a couple of men and about a score of girls were employed. All of these people, boys and girls, were precipitated into the horrible chaos of ruins and es caping steam. Th« fire department was summoned at onee, and with the aid of many per sons who were attracted to the spot at onee began tbe work of rescue. The large building was cut clearly in two, from front to rear, by a gap of forty feet, at the bottom of which is an almost solid pile of timbers, brick and debris, into which the first hour or two work of search for bodies made but little pro gress. The John Davis Company, deal ers in groceries and sundries, occupied the ground floor and basement of one end of the building. The firms list of employees is not large, but it is doubt ful wh&her all escaped. The Journal’s mailing department on the first floor was demolished and the few employees who were there at the time are not yet accounted for. At least a dozen persons are believed to have been at work in Hiller’s book bindery on the second fleor. Some of those who escaped from the wreck re port that they heard the screams of some of the bindery girls as they fell and were pinioned in the wreck. The Habbin Type Foundry on the third floor and the Journal’s sterotyping on the fifth floor contributed human vie tims to the wreck. The member of the editorial staff, on the fourth floor, however, all escaped. Fourteen dead persons have been taken from the ruins. Eighteen persons are in jured. Some of them will probably dk, and some thirty tenants and employes in the building are still missing, and there can be no doubt that most of these are lying under the debris. Os those who are now in the ruins it is impossible that any will be rescued alive. Those who were not killed out right have undoubtedly perished, either from suffooation or exhaustion. The only hope is that some of those who are reported miss:eg may lie safe with friends. The total death ra> will not be known before to-morrow night. It may be even longer before the workmen reach the basement floors of the ill -fated build ing and the total number of lives lost Is known to a*certainty. The work of re moving the debris and searching for the bodies is going o* by aid of electric 1 ghts, but the task is a big one. Carelessness was undoubtedly the cause of the disaster, but where the re sponsibility rests is as yet problematical. Thomas Thompson, the engineer, was painfully injured. He said he coni'- as sign no reason for the explosion vaty Boiler Inspector McGregor say a he in spected the boilers last Augns- a,.,d .'••and them up to the requirement' Souie of the employes in the building assert t tat the fcoi o a were old a: d known to be unsafe St ill oth ers have a theory that the ex plosion was caused by chemicals owc<d by the Davis Company stored in the basement. Another circumstance is also considered significant, Lutne'y: that carpenters were engaged in shoring up the flaor of the second story directly over the boilers, in order to sustain the weight of a heavy machine which had been placed in Dunlap’s machine shop. The men who were at work at this job were buried in tbe ruins. Ex-Congressman Baker Dying. Mascoutah, 111., Nov. 6. —John Baker, ex Congressman and ex United States Minister to Venezuela, is reported to be dying at his borne in Bell, 111. He has been dangerously ill for the last week.

Winston, N. 0., Nov. 6. Two bright and happy marriages were celebrated here this afternoon, the con tracting parties being Dr. O. L. Sum mers, one of Winston’s popular and suc cessful young physicians, and Miss Bessie Hall, one of Salem’s handsome ar d ac complished daughters; Mr. P. R. Lambe, one of Winston’s rising young business men, and Miss Marion Wyatt, an at tractive young iady formerly of South Carolina. The first ceremony was performed with a ring by the pastor at the First Presby terian Church, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The attend ants numbered six couples. After the marriage a magnificent re ception was held at the home of the bride’s mother in Salem. Dr. and Mrs. Summers left to-night for a bridal tour North. They will visit Washington, New York, Niagara Falls, and other places of interest. The second event was solemnized at the Broad Street Baptist Church, which also was handsomely decorated. Rev. Rufus Woaver, of Greensboro, officiated. Mr. and Mrs. Lambe left to night for the Atlanta Exposition. Mayor Gray to day issued a proclama tion calling upon the business men of Winston to close their business houses and attend, with their clerks, the meet ing being held by Evangelist Fife. A circular has also been issu d by pastors and officers of the various churches making the same request of business men generally. DURR ANT TELLS HIS STORY. He Has Written a Sketch ol His Lile and His Ambitions. Ban Francisco, Cal., Nov. 6.—Theo dore Durrant has written a sketch of his life and ambitions, and has gone into the matter of how it feels to be on trial for murder. He has some flings at the curious people who stared at him, takes the churches to task for what he thinks is their lack of Christianity, and says that his self possession, nerve and forti tude during the trial were due to the love and comfort given him by his mother. He stoutly proclaims his inno cence, and satirizes some of his critics. “But,” he says, “after all, this world is only a temporary trial to prepare us for another and better world. This ex istence consists of only a few troubles and painful years at best, but there we will enjoy eternal happiness, in the com pany of angels of God. We have the assurance of holy scriptures that riches and prosperity are impediments to happiness hereafter. The beggar Laza rus is shown to us in the midst of ever lasting bliss, while the rich man Dives who had supported him for years by the crumbs from his table and was clothed in purple and fine linen, is represented to us as burning in everlasting hell. Another thiDg we might remember is that it is ‘less diffi cult for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven’; so we may therefore, 1 think, rejoice in our difficulties and afflictions, for we are told that ‘those whom the Lord loveth He ehasteneth’, and therefore we can see that the more wretched we are here on this earth in love and trust in our Lord, the more assured we are of the delights of an everlasting heaven. “I gave my testimony on the stand willingly. I gave the whole truth wheth er it was for or agaiDst me. On the stand 1 substantiated many points the prosecution env>avored to prove, which were used again, t me in the argument which was twisted and turned into all shapes, and which helped to convict me on circumstantial evidence.” Earthquake Shock at Rome. London, Nov. O.—A special dispatch lrom Rome says that an earthquake shock was felt there this morning. No confirmatory reports have been received here. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SHE IS NOW A DUCHESS MARRIAGE OF MISS VANDER BILT TO THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. CEREMONY AT ST.THOMAS CHURCH The Marriage Occurred a 12:30 o’clock and was a Spectacle Almost Unex ampled lor Its Lavish Magnificence— The Bride was Given Away hy her Father—Her Arrival Greeted with Cheers by the Crowd on the Street- Over 200 Policemen on Duty. New Y'ork, Nov. 6.— The marriage of the Duke of Marlborough to Miss Oon suelo Vanderbilt occurred at 12:30 o’clock to-day at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in the presence of a notable as semblage, and with a vast throng clam oring about the entrances of the church seeking a glimpse of the wedding party and of the many distinguished person ages present. It was the most conspicuous social func tion the metropolis has seen in recent years. For many weeks preparations on the most sumptuous scale have been in progress, and these culminated to day in a ceremony of impressive solemnity and in a spectacle almost unexampled for its lavish magnificence. Every arrival at the church was eagerly scanned but very little could be seen of any of the costumes owing to the awnings, which were closed the en tire length of the curb. Owing probably to the efforts of the police, the crowd around the Vanderbilt house was not large though the residents in the vicinity were out in force and all available space was utilized by interested spectator*. The Vanderbilt servants were among the early arrivals at the church, and they were accommodated by seats in front with the tutors and governesses in the family. The doors of the church were opened at 10 o’clock and the guests were received by the ushers,and conducted to the vesti bules where their cards of invitation were scrutinized,and they were then conducted to the pews allotted to them. The Duke, accompanied by his best man, the Hon. Ivor Guest, drove to the] church, and on alighting, they were accorded a warm reception. When the bride, who was ac companied by her father, arrived at the church, the cheering was something tre mendous. The bride leaned heavily on her father’s arm as he assisted her from the carriage. The police on duty prevented a rush, and a passage way was kept open from the church entrance to the bridal car riage. Every head was turned as the bridal procession emerged from the lower room, and dresses and flowers were sadly crushed in the eager attempt of the mul titude to catch a glimpse of the bride, as the slender girl appeared, leaning upon her father, who measured his step to hers. At the chancel rail the bridal pro cession was met by the groom, who stepped forward to meet his bride, and by the following distinguished prelates and elergy, who were grouped around the communion table: The Right Rev. Bishops Littlejohn and Potter, the Rev. Drs. J. Wesley Brown, rector of St. Thomas; Dr. J. H. Rylance, Rector of St. Marks; the rector of Islip, L. L, Dr. Bridges and the Rev. Walter Barnett of Bouth Borough, Mass., who was chaplain for many years to the seventh Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim. After the beautiful marriage service of the Episcopal Church was gone through, tne bridal procession reformed, and leaving the vestry, the newly mar ried Duchess, leaning on the Duke’s arm, walked down the central aisle to the stirring chords of Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.” The surging crowds outside were kept back by 200 policemen, and immediately the couple had entered their carriage they were driven rapidly to the Vander bilt home, 24 East 72 d street, where, standing beneath an immense floral bell, they received the guests invited to the breakfast, amoDg whom were Sir Julian Pauncefote. After the breakfast the young couple left for the East 34th street ferry en route to Long Island City, and took a special train to Oakdale, where they will pass a brief honeymoon at W. K Van derbilt’s country residence, “Idlehour.” The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough will visit some points South, notably Richmond, Va., during their honeymoon trip. The Fair Case tr l-r ( omprorr i'ttf.
