In the down town district it was as quiat today us on Sun day. The exchanges aud hanks were all closed. Instances have come to light where deputy marshals have allowed men to vote for whom .they held war rants and afterwards arrested the voter. The United States Marshal's ofticc in the Federal building was lively today. By 8 o'clock the special deputies began to arivc, each man having in cus tody some citizen who was charged with attempting to vote illegally. A large apartment usually occupied by the regu lar deputy marshal was used us tem porary place of detention for nricsted men. The prisoners were taken in turn belorc U. S. Commissioners Shields & Deuel. Lawyers by the score who had volunteered their services were promptly on hand to look after the interests of the Democratic voters who had been ar rested, cither after depositing the votes or licforc Iwimr permitted to do so. As soon as Commissioners ShicldsandDcuel bad decided to hold any of the arrested men hail was promptly furnished, and the accused man icleascd aud crmittcd to return home.

Washington, Nov. 8. This city today wits probably the quietest of any place ol large size in the United States. The streets were freer of people thnn us ual for a fine autumn day. Probably more than 10,000 men have left the city to visit their homes and cast their Tote. The public departments were opened as usual this morning, but only the barest routine business was trans acted. With few exceptions nil the gov ernment officers were out of the city and nearly all the clerks, living i jcloscly con tested States, or Congressional districts that arc reckoned doubtful, had also gone home to voie. in aouuion to the government employes sev eral tbousaud men engaged in private occupation here, went to their places of voting and residence to aid in the campuign. Those ci sons remaining in the city displayed an interest in the result, but it was of a subdued character and void of the nervous anxiety whjch was marked prior to the passage of the civil service law. The President remained in his apart meats nt the White House, where he re ceived intelligence of the way voting was progressing by means of dispatches from the Associated Press, from political friends and from other sources. The only cabinet officers in town are Secretary John M. Foster, of the State Depart mciit, and Attorney General Miller, each of whom had arranged to pair with Democrats in Indiana, so that their ab sence would not affect the result. Each wns at his drnartincnt early in the morning, attending to public business, STATES IKE DON'T CLAIM AS CERTAIN. CLEVELAND IS ELECTED WITHOUT THEM.

Last evening war rants for the arrest of prominent Kepub licans were issued by the wholesale, charging them with attempting to bribe voters to remain away from the polls today. The persons arrested are being placed under bond which is promptly furnished by their friends.

Congressmen Anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a hall was the time it took for West ward citizens to vole yesterday. Beginning at 7 o'clock in the morning the crowd seemed to grow thicker and thicker all day until just before closing time, when the rain began pattering on the tin roof of Carter's warehouse, and the voters seemed to disappear all at once. 1 ins was tne hrst sign ot cessa tion in the steady stream of tickets that had been pouring in all day, sometimes at the rate of three or four a minute. The judges and clerks were worked nearly to death, and about 2 o'clock Mayor Blan- ton had to crawl in through the voting window and be sworn in as an extra judge to help the regular force. People agree that there ought to be better poll ing places and more of them next year, for, on account of the crush, many citi zens just how many it is nnru to say- were deprived of casting their ballots. Matters were in much the same fix iu the East ward. The crowding at the West ward poll ing place became rather tempestuous at one time during the morning and Sheriff Reynolds was sent for to take charge of things. His appearance was the occasion for a chorus of yells. Mounting the top step at the entrance the sheriff told the crowd to stand back and give everybody a fair chance in his turn. No time was lost in granting respectful obedience. iust as hard as Tammany and the great New Yohh, Nov. 8.

ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov. 8. The drift of senti. ment at 7 p. m. is that HarrUon and Reid have carried the State and that the Republican State ticket is elected by decreased plurality. This must not be accepted, however, as being more than a surface opinion, as the returns are still utterly inadequate for the purpose of forming a reliable estimate. New York, Nov. 8.-Dcspatchcsto the Times and Herald from Chicago soy that Cleveland (for President) and Altgeld (for Governor) will, from present indica tions, carry Cook county by 15.000 plurality.

Sheriff Reynolds had to repeat this act in the afternoon at the same place. There were more business men at the polls for good Democratic work than Ashcyille has ever seen at such places. The closing of stores and other estab lishments wns almost unanimous. Aboutsix o'clock the excitement, which had been more or less interinitttent be fore, now became hysterical. Demo cratic returns began coming in and the crowds around the polling places and on Court Square let themselves loose iu a wild whoop for Cleveland and Craw ford. Democratic bonfires were started on South Court place, and young America kept them going several hours with barrels and dry goods boxes supplied by unsuspecting merchants. A barrel or two of paving tar, kindly left out iu the weather by the Patton avenue contrac tors, went the same way. livery time a box blazed up it was accepted as a good Democratic sign, but when its strength gave out it was classed with Republicanism. The returns from outside were received at several places. The Carolina club had its rooms full of members and invited guests. The walls and ceiling were dressed in their best flags and bunting and the rooms were kept crowded till late. Returns were read out in tbe court house to a good sized crowd, chiefly Democratic. At Republican campaign headquarters there was a tinge of sad ness as Chairman Tompkins read off the rattier discouraging figures of other States. The magic lantern display of the returns on the screen in F. E. Mitchell's window on Patton avenue drew a crowd that was mostly Democratic. On the streets the excitement spent it self by 10 o'clock, everybody seeming to take it in to his head to go home about that hour. Afterwards it was unusually quiet. Rivals Lnrav. Harrissonbukg, Va., Nov. 8. A cave has been discovered near Harrisonburg. It has not been fully explored yet, but it is said to rival the Luray caverns in size and its grottoes iu beauty. The cave was discovered while Masting for rock. Twenty-four rooms have been found without the aid of pick or shovel. Per sons from neighboring villages are flock ing to see it.
