New York, Nov. 5. —Although the un official reports from the State apparently showed Odell’s re-election by 10,798 plu rality, Mr. Coler, his Democratic oppo nent, refused today to concede defeat, de claring that he wished to wait for the official count of the vote. Mr. Coler’s rtatemcnt was followed by a rather sen sational announcement from Secretary Mason, of the State Democratic Commit t‘-o, that he refused to concede Odell’s i lection, that fraud had robbed Coler of many votes up the State, and that Sena tor Hill and Chairman Campbell, of the State Committee, would come to New York this evening, to decide on a plan of action. About the time these statements ap peared a rumor was circulated that Coler intended to make a contest in the courts and simultaneously the Evening Journal issued an extra edition, declaring that former Senator Hill. Charles F. Murphy and Hugh McLaughlin claimed Color's election. This report together with the statements made by Mr. Coler and Secre tary Mason caused considerable excite ment in this city. Mr. Coler’s statement follows: “I think personally it would be a good thing to watch the official count up the State closely. Why don't they distribute McCullagh men up there as well as here in Greater New York? Suppose the Dem ocratic ticket had received say in the neighborhood of 150,000 majority in Greater New York, there was nothing to have stopped the Republicans from claim ing the upper section of the State by at least 200,000 majDrity. What the Dem ocratic party needs up the State is tried and true material who will look care fully after the party’s interests. I don’t mean by anything I have said, either last night or this morning, that I in any manner concede the election of my oppo nent. I want to wait for the official count, for my latest advices are that the vote is very close. I am hopeful of receiving today news that will put a new complexion on affairs in this State.” John A. Mason, Secretary of the Dem ocratic State Committee, speaking for the committee, issued the following state ment : e concede nothing. Odell's election is simply a claim. We will not admit his election until every defective ballot or alleged defective ballot has been scru tinized, and every vote that of right be longs to our party is counted. The al leged defective, ballots uncounted for the Democratic ticket by Republican inspec tor: are more than enough to elect Coler. We have evidence of wholesale debauch ery and corruption in Orange, Oneida. Albany, and Erie counties, and the cities ! along the line of the New York Central : Railroad. ’ The defective ballots and the chican ery practised in the three judicial dis tricts where the Republican State ma chine bent every energy to elect Attor- i ney General Davies, is alone sufficient to change the result. "We shall fight every foot of ground.” David B. Hill and Frank Campbell will be at the State Headquarters this even ing and a meeting of the State Commit tee will be held either this evening or tomorrow, and a plan of action formula ted. Colonel Dunn, the Chairman of the State Republican Committee, when in formed today of the report that the Dem ocrats threatened to contest the election, said: "If they start anything of that kind, we will yive them all the contest they want right here in New York county and they will wish they never had heard of contests.” The revised figures for Governor are as The News and Observer. follows: Odell, 133,83 C; Color, 123,038. Odell’s plurality, 10,798. COMPILED BY REPUBLICANS. No Democrat on the Board That Handled the New York Election Returns (By the Associated Press.) Albany, N. Y., Nov. s.—Governor Odell telephoned the following: from concerning - the statement of Secretary Mason, of the Democratic State Committee: "Let them claim all they please. Let them cry fraud. I am elected and that is all there is about it.” William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee, said here: ‘ Any statement that Albany county was purchased by the Republicans is without foundation.” Former Senator Hill refused positively to be quoted about the result of the election. The State Board of Canvassers that compiles the returns consists of the Secretary of State, the Comptroller, At torney General, State Treasurer and State Engineer, all Republicans, and to them belongs the right to reject or ac cept any returns objected to by individ uals or parties. Senator Thomas C. Platt was asked today for a statement on the State elec tion. He said: “We have to be satisfied. Odell’s plurality is not nearly as large as I had expected.” Senator Platt said that, in his opinion, the trust question and the coal strike had nothing to (lo with the result of the fight. "The Democrats got together,” he said, “and held together, and a few Republi cans slipped over to them.” Tennessee. (By the Associated Press.) Nashville, Tenn., Nov. s.—lndications point to a lighter vote than was cast in 1898, which was the smallest since 1876- The total vote will approximate 175,000, and Frazier’s majority for Governor is estimated at 35,000. The Republicans have increased their strength in the Legislature, but that body will remain Democratic. The race In the Eighth Congressional district is very 'close be tween Sims (Dem.) and Davis (Rep.) and the official vote will be necessary to determine the result. Porto Rico. (By the Associated Press.) San Juan, Porto Rico, Nov. 5. —There were no serious disorders anywhere in Porto Rico yesterday. The election, which resulted in a sweeping Republi can victory, passed off quietly. This was largely due to the fact that Gov ernor Hunt sent twenty-two special representatives, covering the whole is land, with plenary powers to adjust dif ferences summarily. Fedarico Degetau was re-elected resi dent commissioner at Washington by a large majority. The Federals have ten delegates in the Legislature and the Republicans twenty, five. In mast of the turbulent districts Guyama, Caey, San Lorenzo, Al bonito, and others, the Federals, through intimidation, abstained entirely from voting and lost five delegates to the Legislature. Fraud was charged everywhere and the government has promised prompt prosecutions. Kansas. (By the Associated Press.) Topeka, Kan., Nov- 5. —The Republi can victory in Kansas is complete. A good majority of the Legislature, all of the State orfieials, and a large part of the county offices, were taken by the Republicans. Chairman Albaugh, of the Republican State Committee, made the following statement tonight: ‘ Returns have been received from every part of the State and they indi cate the election of W. J. Bailey and the entire Republican ticket by about 65,000 plurality. The Republicans have elected every member of Congress and more than ninety members of the Legis lature. The total vote of the State will be slightly under 300,000. Indiana. (By the Press.) Indianapolis, Ind-, Nov. 4.—lndiana went Republican today by from 25,000 to 40,000. The Congressional delega tion remains the same, with nine Re publicans and four Democrats. The RALEIGH. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 6, 1902. Legislature will be about 25 on joint ballot, and Senator Charles W. Fair banks will be re-elected to the 1 nited States Senate. This estimate is based on unofficial re turns received at the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican State Central Committees, and from the spe cials received from every county in the State. At midnight 800 precincts in the State outside of Marion county (Indiana polis) show a Republican gain of 2,740, which would carry the State by 40,000. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 4.—C. S. McChord (Dem.), elected Railroad Commissioner, Second district. HELD F 0& MANSLAUGHTER. Craig; who was in Charge of the Fireworks in Madison Square. (By the Associated Press.) New York. Nov. 5.— Complete revised lists today of the dead and injured vic tims of the Explosion of fire works in Madison Square last evening show that twelve persons were killed and about eighty injured. Several of these are probably fatally hurt, and many others are today in a serious condition. The following is the revise ! list of dead: POLICEMAN DENNIS SHEA. WILLIAM R. VARCLE. 15 years old. NATHANIEL DINGLEY, 13 years old. HAROLD ROBLE, 12 years old. JOSEPH HEBEP. UNIDENTIFIED MAN, 20 years old. ALBERT KAEMTF, JR. WILLIAM FENNY. 12 years old. WILLIAM S. McAVERY, 16 years old. CAMILLE GUSSANTE, 26 years old. GEORGE LANDAU. JOSEPH WERNOCK. 15 years old. An informal inquest was held today preparatory to the formal inquest set for Friday. The ten prisoners arrested in connec tion with the calamity, including the mas in charge of the fireworks, were ar raigned today. The charge against them was homicide, and the men were re manded to the coroner. Coroner Scholer, before whom the men were taken, said it was a case of criminal neglect. The coroner held John Craig in SIO,OOO, on a charge of manslaughter in the first degree. Mr. Craig, it is allaged, was in charge of the explosives at the time of the accidents. Two boys who were carrying boxes of explosives were sent to the House of Detention by the coroner as witnesses. The rest of the ten prisoners were discharged. The coroner said there were seven bombs. An attempt to shoot off the first failed, he said, but it detonated and thus caused the explosion of the other bombs Craig said the first bomb was properly exploded, and he thought an explosion of gases must have caused the accident. There were ten bombs and four mortars weighing 150 pounds each, he said. Seven legs of victims of the firework explosion were amputated at Bellevue Hospital today. Besides the amputa tions, there were dozens of minor opera tions on hands and feet and for burns. Many of the patients underwent several operations and some lost both hands. L.

(Special to the News and Observer.) Burlington, N. C., Nov. s.—ln celebra tion of the magnificent Democratic vic tory in this county this city is ablaze of light from a hundred boil iires and hundreds of torches carried by as many enthusiastic Democrats, and not a Re publican to be seen on the streets. The torch-light procession started from Dem ocratic headquarters, and, after taking in the town, wound up in the park where speeches were made by Hons. Dan Hugh Mcdlean and W. H. Carroli. Two dummy figures named Waller and Johnson were conspicuous in the parade, and at the end of the speaking were saturated with oil and burned. The vote as reported last night is about right, though some of the rural precincts came up with larger Republican majorities than first reported, which cuts the Democratic ma pority down about fifty.

LOVE Pastor and Female Mission ary Found Lifeless. DIED BY ASPHYXIATION ) \ Discovered in the. Pastor’s Study Locked in Each Other’s Arms—Lives of Oulward Seething End in a Death of Shame. (By tho Associated Press.) Omaha, Neb., Nov. s.—Clasped in each other’s arms, lying on the floor of the pastor’s study, of' the German Baptist church, here, early today, Oscar Berndes. janitor of the church, discovered the dead bodies of Rev. W. C. Rabe, pastor, and Augusta Busch, a missionary and assistant to the pastor. Death had been caused by asphyxiation. The room was filled with gas, a jet and a burner of a small stove being partly turned on. The bodies were lying on the floor, the woman’s head being pillowed on some cushions. They evidently had lain in that position for several hours. There seems to be little doubt that death was accidental. It is believed that the pair had fallen asleep, the stove flame blew out, and the gas escaped- The bodies were rigid and death evidently occurred during the hours of the previous evening. An in quest will be held tomorrow. Miss Busch roomed at the home of Janitor Berndes, and Mr. Rabe at the house of Harry Dirkson. Miss Busch went to the Dirkson home yesterday morning, and remained there until 9 o’clock in the evening, engaged in sew ing. She left for her home alone and it is thought probable that she met Mr. Ralx* on her way and that the two went to his study in the rear of he church, where the tragedy occurred. They had been good friends, but no stronger feel ing was apparent to those who knew them. Mrs. Berndes supposed the dead woman was in her room until Miss Schalkan, housekeeper for Mr. Rabe, re ported that 1H* 1 had not been at home, dur ing the night. Then it w f as discovered that Miss Busch had not occupied her room, and a search was made for them this morning. The janitor went to the pastor’s study and found the door locked and the key on the inside, and he de tected the escaping gas. Quickly he summoned a police officer and the door was broken open. N In the center of the very small study the bodies lay, the heads a few feet from the door. The woman’s face was covered 'with froth and had begun to turn purple. One gas jet above the pastor’s table was partly turned oft from a stove gas was slowly escaping. h It was thought at first the two had committed suicide, for on the table was an open letter, a neatly arranged bou quet, Mr. i.abe’s watch and glasses, and his hat, Miss Busch’s gloves and hand kerchief. and neatly folded upon the back of a chair was her jacket. The letter was written in German and when translated was found to be an answer to another letter, which Mr. Rabe hIS received. There was nothing in it to I indicate that the two had intended talt- | in*; their lives. jg Mr. Rabe was 54 years of age and caatf 9 to Omaha from Buffalo, N. Y., when to 9 was chosen pastor of the German Raf||B tist church. In that State he left a who is attending a missionary schooyH and one son. Carl W. He was held i 99 high esteem by his congregation. Miss Busch was 31 years of age, had been a missionary in Omaha for last five years. She came here frH Chicago, sent by the church missionaiH| school. She, too was hold in hlgHi esteem a»d was very popular. THIRTY THOUSAND FOR ELON. The Entire Amount Willed by the Millionaire, Francis Asbnry Palmer. (By the Associated Press.)
