The election returns received up to 3 o'clock this afternoon show sweeping changes in favor of the Republicans. In New York the Republicans elect their entire State ticket, and will have control of tbe Legislature by 24 majority on a joint ballot. Maynard, Democratic candidate for Judge of the court of appeals, is over-welmingly- defeated, the majority against him being estimated at from 60,000 to 100,000. TbeRepublicansclected their candidate for mayor in Brooklyn. Republicans carry Massachusetts with a large majority, and votes to spare. Grecnbalge's majority far Governor will probably be 45,000 or more. Governor Boies is defeated for re-election in Iowa. Tbe Democrats concede the victory to Jackson by 20,000. Governor McKinley scored a most sig nal triumph in Ohio, Tbe BuckeyeState rolls up a majority for him that is now placed at 70,000 and which can hardly fall below 50,000. An anti-race track legislature has been chosen in New Jersey, and Pennsylvania rolls up fully 100,000 plurality for the Republicans, Philadelphia alone giving over 50,000. Maryland, as usual, elected a Demo cratic ticket. Mayor La t robe is elected "at Baltimore by 6.0OO. Chicago is reclaimed by the Republi cans who elected Judge Gary and a por tion of the county ticket. The Democrats in Kentucky elected the Legislature, which will return Hon. Wm. Lindsey to the United States Sen ate. Returns from Virginia indicate the election of the Democratic State ticket headed by Hon. Charles T. O'Farrell for Governor by an overwhelming ma jority. It is probable that on a largely decreased vote compared with that of 1889 O'Farrell's majority will be at least as large as that of Governor Mc Kinney, which was about 4-2,000. In many of tbe cities and counties the col ored vote seems to have gone to the Democrats. The legislature is also largely Democratic, which insures United Stales Senators for that party for the long and short terms. With the excep tion of a few counties the Populists made a poor showing of their strength. lucre is no definite news from Ne braska; both Republicans and 1 'oculists claim tbe State. The members of the Cabinet attribute the results to tbe business depression of the past several months New Vork Republican. New York, Nov. 8. The election in this state was a complete sweep for tbe Republicans, aud every hour only adds to the thoroughness of thedeJmt suffered by the Democratic party. B'artlett is elected to the court of appeals ly prob ably over H5.000 plurality, and the rest of the Republican State ticket wins by 20,000. The State Senate, now Demo cratic, will have a Republican majority of six; the assembly of seven. In consti tutional convention there will be 105 Re publicans to 70 Democrats. In the Citv of New York Tammany carried through tbe entire State and county ticket. May nard had a plurality of ouly 30,000, the rest of the ticket getting an average of 60,000. The present assembly delega gation is solidly Democratic. Three Re publicans were elected yesterday, Shef field, to the eleventh, Lawson in the twenty-third and Robertson in the twenty-seventh. Later Returns recti ved uo to 11 a. m. show the election of 73 Republicans and 55 Democrats to the assembly. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov.. 8. Safe returns show that the Republicans have carried this county, the home of Lieut. Gov. Shechan by about 1,300 majority. Tbe Republicans elected both senators and five of the six assemblymen. They claim to have a 6ghting chance for a sixth assemblyman, charging fraud at tbe polls. vnicanv Hepaniican. Chicago, Nov. 8. The revision tod.tv of the election returns shows that the Republicans elected the entire judicial ticket with the possible exception of Craft, with Judge Gary in the lead. Craft is identified to some extent with the so cialists here. Reports showed general gains throughout the city and country over the presidential vote of last year, and in addition Gary who presided at the Haymarket anarchist trinl and who was opposed by Governor Altgeld's in fluence, receiving many Democratic votes, putting him considerably ahead ol his ticket. In the fight for county commis sioners the result is somewhat in doubt and it may rexuire the official count to decide which party is in the lead. It is apparent, however, that the Board of Commissioners will be a mixed one, as the men on both tickets seem to be elected. Gary's plurality is estimated at 8,000. The remainder of the Republican ticket probably from two to four thous and behind Gary's lead. OI1I0 Repobllcan. Columbus, 0., Nov. 8. At the Demo cratic state headquarters today they conceded the result to be such as to give them no cause for looking after the re turns. Chairman Dick of t he Republican state headquarters has received unoffi cial returns indicating McKinley'a plu rality between seventy and eighty thous and, the largest in tbe history of the state except 1863. At that time Broueh had over 100.0OO. his opponent being Valandingham, who was then in exile in Canada. Pennsylvania Republican. rHiLADBLPBiA, i'a., Nov. 8. It is es timated that tbe majorities by counties on a vote for state treasurer will show a majority of 107,922 for Jackson, Re publican. HassachaieHs Republican. Boston, Mass., Nov. 8. The legisla ture, so far as beard from, stands House. 153 Republicans, 18 Democrats, 39 not heard from; Senate. 30 Republi cans, 7 Democrats, 3 not beard from. Did Eillier influence the Harper tin Jury T The motion for a new trial of Sam Harper, convicted of murder in the sec ond degree, was argued before Judge Jones this morning by J. S. Adams, of de fendant's counsel. Mr. Adams presented affidavits, stating that whiskey had been given the jury, that conversations had been held between members of the jury and outside parties and that there bad been separations of the jury. Mr. Adams argued that the court had erred in leaving the question of degree of legal provocation to the jury. In speaking to the affidavits Mr. Adams said that be did not believe there was anything wrong with the jury; on the contrary. he believed the jury was composed of men 01 nign cnaracter. He said tne question was not whether they had been approached, but whether there had been an opportunity for them to have been approached. The State insisted that unless defend ant could show positive evidence of undue influence that tbe verdict was a proper one and that the question of whether there was legal provocation was a question of law, bnt that the question of whether the provocation was great or slight was a question of tact tor tne jury. F. N. Waddell, the officer of the court who had charge of the jury, made a sworn statement that he bad not seen a drop of whiskey given to the jury, and that they were the soberest set of men he had ever known. Not a word had been spoken by the jury to outsiders about the case, so far as he knew. Tbe jury, he said, had been in conversation with outside people while seated on the porch at Slagle's and -during meal time, furors would leave the table at the conclusion of their meals and sometimes be out of the officer's sight a minute or two. Mr. Waddell stated further that any conver sation about the case with outsiders would have been promptly suppressed had he known of it. The court said that in view of the point of the defense that opportunities for misconduct were great he would bear counter affidavits, about tbe whiskey and the separation of the jury, at 3:30 this afternoon. State vs. C. L. Jenkins, defendant con victed of false pretense. An agreement had been reached between the solicitor, assisted by private counsel, and the de fense, by which defendant was to execute a deed and would have two terms to pay costs, etc., but when the deed was given to the prosecution yesterday it was seen to have pencil interlineations negativing Dositive averments by Jen kins. The judge said that be did not propose to allow the court to be made a vehicle for law suits and while he did not blame counsel for their course in the mat ter he could not consent to the course suggested. Appeals were made for clemency for the prisoner by his counsel, Colonel Lusk, and by Judge Merrlmon. Alter bearing the statements or physi cians the court directed that a bond of $500 be required of Jenkins for his ap pearance at the next term to show that one-half of the costs in tbe cases bad heen paid; that prayer for judgment be con tinued, and that Jenkins make satisfac tory settlement with Davis and Hill. WII.I REBUILD. jeaae R. Starncs To Betel 11 Busi ness A a;ttl 11 noon. A gang of men is busy today removing the rubbish from the burned Starncs building on Noith Main street. Mr. Starncs says that he will immediately begin rebuilding. He expects to be ready to start business again inside of 60 days. oeveral ot the lire men were shocked while working in the basement Tuesday morning, by taking hold of coffin handles and other pieces of metal. Tbe metal had in some manner become charged with electricity from the wires about the building. The firemen were bothered no little by the bursting of the hose. F. N. Rogers, a new member of Hose company, No. 1, says he has seen many fires in the larger cities, and that the Asheville volunteer firemen showed skill in their work, did excellent service, and deserve a great deal of praise therefor. IM VIRGINIA. a Most The Democratic "Victory Imal one. Richmond, Nov. 8. The result of the election in this State contained some surprises. The Democratic victory was a most signal one, yet there appears to have been a large decrease in the vote. Again, it was believed that, in many sec tions, tbe negroes would vote solidly with the Populists. The result proves tbe contrary. Indeed in many counties the negroes in small numbers supported the Democratic ticket. X be following sum mary of the vote has been made up at Democratic headquarters. The counties give a Democratic majority of 23,- 704; 17 cities a Democratic ma jority of 17,981. There are BO coun ties and the city of Bristol to be heard from. The - indications are that the Democratic majority will reach 50,000. Following are believed to be the only counties in the State that have gone for the Populists : New Kent, Campbell, Carolina, Prince George, Greenville, Powhatan, Prince Edward, Sussex, Tazwell, Floyd. PROPELLERS IM COLLISION. TWO BOMBS IN A THEATER SPAIN IS THK SCENE OP AN OTHER. HORROR. Flfleeu Persona Killed outrlient The Tbealer Pari I v 'Wrecked Two Anarchists Arrested n-v Tne Police. Barcelona, Feb. 8. Last night at the performance of William Tell at the Lyceum opera house, a place much fre quented by the elite of Barcelona society, two bombs, presumably loaded with dynamite, were thrown from thegallery. One exploded with a terrific report. Almost every person in the house sprung to their feet in terror and dismay. Wild shrieks and cries of agony rose from the lower part of the house, and it is known that many persons have been injured. When the smoke and dust caused by the explosion cleared away the forms of many persons were seen upon the floor in the vicinity of the place where the bomb had fallen. Seats thereabouts had been blown to pieces and the flooring in places torn up, and the beams partly shattered. The only persons who re tained their presence of mind were tbe omciais present. I hey knew that the outrage was the work of anarchists and determined to prevent tbe escape of the miscrcats. Some of them therefore ran to the gallery and surrounded that part from which the bomb had been thrown. Several suspicious looking persons were placed under arrest, and when a closer examination was made of the prisoners it was found that two were anarchists known to tbe police. It is officially stated that the dead number 15. KILLED IN A FOLDING BED. The Prank of Two Brothers Costs Mlaa Bersr Her Lite. Chicago, Nov. 5. Death followed quickly upon some innocent pranks in the Berg family, at 283 Rush street on Thursday night. Miss Daisy Berg was 22 years old. With her brothers Frank and George she had been having a good time. She played several jokes on" the boys. They finally retired, and Miss Berg, who occupied a folding bed, was soon asleep. The boys then stole into her bedroom and gave the toot board a sudden jerk. Miss Berg was awakened and started to throw a pillow at them. The swinging foot board snapped like the blade of a knife and Miss Berc was crushed within its folds. Her neck was broken. N. Y. Sun. HEGIUA OP UN EM PLOYED. Thousands Seize Trains, And Are ComlDs From California. San Antonia, Tex., Nov. S. Tbe Southern Pacific officials here received word that there are 3,000 more unem ployed working men on the way est from California via that line. They are in squads of from 300 to 500 men, and have possessions of the freight trains upon which they are riding. Another batch of them will reach San Antonio about Thursday. One hundred idle men, seventy-five of who- 1 reached here from California, captured an eastbound Southern Pacific freight train in the yards aud left the city. BOSTON'S FIREBVO. Louis A WrlKhl, a Yonlhlal Crim inal. Hakes a Confession. Boston, Mass., Nov. 8. Louis A. Wright, an eighteen-year-old lad of New ton, Mass., now in jail as an iucendiary, has confessed to having set the big fires in Boston last spring which so startled Boston and caused a wholesale jump in insurance rates.

JOHNSTOWN PLOOD SUIT. Twenty -Four Hen Drowned No Passengers. Sand Beach, Mich., Nov. 8. The pro peller Albany of the Western Transit company and the propeller Philadelphia of the Anchor line collided off Point Aux Barques, in a dense fog yesterday and were sunk in 200 feet of water. The Philadelphia towed the Albany half an hour, when the Albany sank. The Phila delphia went down twenty minutes af ter. Both crews left in two boats. Life-saving crews were out all this morning and found a boat upaide down.

Yoorbees Not a One Bill Mau. Washington, Nov. 8. There has for the past week been a story current here that Mr. Voorhecs had said that he would present a free coinage bill with the opening of the regular session. His record is that of a silver advocate, and even during the contest over the bill for the repeal of the purchasing clause of tbe Sherman act he always professed to have as great interest in the white metal as ever before. When questioned uoon the subject of his future intentions with regard to financial legislation, Mr. Voor hecs parried the blow by asking: "Do yon suppose I am a one-bill man?" but declined to outline his intention.
