This- will give the Republicans eleven voles.

Westcott and 1'earce both claim Kent

all questions of good government.
In tlie liouse the Republicans have the

Baltimore. Md Nov. C Every branch
or Slate and city government was placed
byhe people of Marjlamlin the bands of
the Republican party at jestenlay's elec
tion. It was n triumph for which ihe
good men of all jiarties worked iiauiiitic
ally. .shoulder lo thouldcr. Jt was Ihe
hpeop'e's battle from beginning lo md;
the dethronement or -uossism nun uiu
Tesull. Senator Gorman and Isaac Free
man Ttasln were signally defeated, the
majorities bfcing overwhelming.
There has been to-day as much Jubilation
among Democrats throughout the State
over theTesult-of the political upheaval as
there was among hide-bound Hepulilicans.
Those most anxious lor the fall of the Gor-mnn-RasJajnacblne
didnot cxpectsosweep
ing a -victory.
The KepnbhcaiM elected their State ticket,
Uoyd Lowndes lending It with a plurality
of about 17,000. Sixty-eight members of
the house of delegates and eight senators
werealso elected by the Republicans. They
will .have forty-three majority on Joint
ballot. This shows a Teversal of 104
votes, the Democrats in the las-t legislature
having bad a majority on Joint ballot of 61.
A Republican will go to tlie United States
Senate lo succeed Charles H. Gibson, Rnd
r fourteen of. the senators elected yesterday
will vote Tor n successor to Senator Gor
jnan in JE98. Of the live Democrats
elected to the senate two are nntH'arman,
and -will tote with tlie Republicans on all
questions of -good government.
Theremarkable condition of both Howard
and Talbot counties going Republican
has excited a -vast nmount of comment.
Senator Gorman's connty, Howard, is
ordinarily Jetnocratic by 400. This year
it gave the Republican ticket-102 majority.
Senator Gibson's county, Talbot, was only
a trifle less surprising, its "Dcuiocrntio
majority or 400 was wiped out nnd the
Republicans carried it by abont'100.
In Baltimore city the mayor, therltf, and
twenty-rite members of the city council,
three Judges of. the orphans' court, clerks
of superior and circuit courts, State's at
torney and city surveyor all received large
Republican majorities. With the exception
of ejghl memlicrs of the city council the
.Democrats- lost every office for "which bal
lots were cast.
JJr. Lowndes" plurality In the city was
11,783 and Alcaeus Hooper tvas elected

Richmond, Tn.. Nov. C Tlie returns

will stand 34 Democratic, nnd 6 Jor the
opposition. 3 of the latter Icing Repub
licans. The house will lravo 78 .Demo

The lesson oI the campaign Is thought
lo be lound In the overwhelming defeat
of Stale Senator II. L. Walton In the
f arsons Tcitth district by an overwhelming
majority, lie was personally yery nop-
nlar, and it is alleged Kperrt thousands In
the election, but because the -election law

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. G. Later election
rctcraa tolay do not materially change
the result in Ohio, With two BcnaUn-ial
districts and one county in doubt, the Re
publicans have 63 Tcprcsectathrts and .20
senators tut-or 112 representatives ana 37
senators. The plurality for Uushnell,
Rep., for Governor, will fall between
00,000 and 100,000.
It Js EeneraUy coneenlcd that the result
has placed -Gov. UcKlnley on the .solid
ground in Ohio iur "isuppurt ior the Presi

he and ti!r friends loyally supported the
Foraker faction -r,nd the Governor has

home this inornliip that ceiiileman was
found in a cood humor, accepting Ills
defeat calmly. When asked what lie
had to say about the result he stated that
he was not at all discouraged, but, on
tlie contrary, had reason, Iu a measure,
to feel pretty good.
He said the vote showed the Democ
racy of Ohio was more harmonious tlian
elsewhere; that the fact that the vote of
Mast jear was exceeded was encourag
ing. The duty of the Democrats now was
to pick their flints and get ready to shoo
off the balance of the Republican plurality;
that instead or being dtsiourngid every
Democrat ought to nerve himself lo go at
the enemy next year luore vigorously than

University Club Men Will Soon
Change Their Headquarters.
EXPENSES TO BE EEDU0ED
UriM'cured Creditor Seek Payment of
"Their Claims Club' Propositi on
JteJoctod Lliibllltlea Said to Bo
$03,000; AssctHf $83,000 Club Con
fident or Meeting All T)ebt. A
The University Club, at the corner of
Seventeenth and I streets northwest, will
closejtsdoo'fsatadate, probablyan early
one, to beJ,rlerVrnilned by tlie board of
managers. '-Thh club men assign as the
reasoa for this 'that they desire to move
Into a less expensive establishment, as they
do not 'care 'to nieet unnecessarily expen
sive fixed cliargts on the property.
11 was stated fast eight also at the club
that the unsecured creditors desire a settle
ment, and that there aretiow negotiations
jieuding to bring about such a settlement,
these uegotfatliiis so Jar being entirely
unsatisfactory to the creditors.
The mortgage debt oJ the club foots up
S83, 000, and the debt to unsecured cred
itors amounts to about $10, 000. Of
this $10, 000 about $8,000 U due to local
business men.
The property was bought in 1601 from
Mrs. itay, the wife of tlie president of
the old Meridian Club, which was merged
into the new Univeslty Club. The Merid
ian Club -was established in 1888 and was
composed mostly of college men and wine
who were not collcglate's. In 1801 the
University Club was formed, in Its mem
bership being Included tlie Meridian men,
the nucleus of the University men
and the non-college men who belonged to
the Meridian Club,
MORTGAGES GALORE.
The board uf managers paid Mrs. Ray
$83,000 i-at.li for the land on which the
present luildlug stands and wbiih is in
area about 10,000 square itet. In order
toral-e this amojnuliey pat twomortgages
ou the property, n first mortgage to a
geutlciiianor Philadelphia tor itU,()00 and
n M?coud mortgage to a number of the club
members Tor $33,000. One of the boardot
managers said last night that neither the
Tint nor second mortgagee are TirewJaR
their claims, as they are amply secured by
the valuable property.
The $10,000 additional debt, he said.
Is due to Rarber & Son about i3,000; lo
Lantb-irgh Brothers and to Mr. S. C. Palmer
KShib!y $S,000, and ntut $2,000 in In
terest due on the second mortgage bonds.
The club does not regard this Interest debt
as pressing, for the reason that most ot the
second murlgnge bondholders are not
pressing its pajment and nre naturally in
terested in the equltablo settlement of the
Indebtedness of the club. Barber Sons are
grocer. Lansburgh Brothers are the well
known dry gnods firm, Mr. Palmer Is a
dealer iu mineral waters and he also repre
sents home other claims against the club.
CONFERENCE Or CREDITORS.
A conference was bcld ycotcrday at
the club rooms between a committee ot
the unsecured creditors, uf which Mr.
S. C. Palmer was chairman, nnd 11 com-
I ralttee or the oMcers or the club.
I Alter the conference Mr. Palmer said
to The Times that he did nut care to
discuss what had taken place, but that no
agreement had been reached, lie. In
Tact said that the did not think that the
unsecured creditors would get anything.
He estimated the liabilities or the club
at $113,000.
At the club last night a representative
or lhat urEanlzatiun'talkcd quite iraukly
about the sltuafU a. He said that the club
had dlscusfced with the i-ominiltre ut the
creditors tbej -value -r the prou-Tty and
made an.oircr(r settleni"nt on the basis
iT a sale and Ihe .crt-dlinrs to berelm
bursOd "putiiflne' equities.
It wastirguetl that the property had In
creased in value and that with anything
like a lair sale, not only, could the mort
gage debts bcpa'!-!, but there would be a
fnirfiocrit inarhin for the inisecured debt.
It Is urderKlojr,that this Is the definite
proposition uf the club, that was rejtcted
by the nnsectireiij creditors.
VALllin (,F THE LAND.
One uf the hoard of managers said that
the Army and.Navy Club men had given '
$0 a foot Tar the property, which is
diagonally opposite the University Club,
and it Is claimed that Ihe University Club
properly is at len,si worth that much more.
This is the .position in nhicb matters
stood last night., jThe clubmen had heard
nothing of the report lhat the creditors
would close tliij clubrooms, nnd stated that
no such lnlimatloniiad been made to them.
They were entirely unaware of -what
sleps the crealUirs would take to Eecure
their claims. If It were the fact that they
Intended to proceed legally.
They tay that an attachment of the fur
niture will not hold, because there Is a
chattel mortgage on that property, which
antedates the other floating indebtedness,
and tlie Turnlture, they claim, -was their
own property when they moved into the
present quarters.
The club apiears to be anxlons to settle
its debt as early and as equitably as pos
sible, and, Ihey hold lhat the property
when sold should pay all claims dollar for
dollar.
They will make their change of head
quarters certainly before January, this,
matter and others tooe settled at a meet
ing of the club to be held on Saturday
night.

Gives Hond In the 3ollce Court to Xot
Hotticr tho White-.
The case of Dr. William X. Rl&lop, the
dentist, who was arrested Tuesday after
noon ona warrant swom out by JKenneth
White, charging him with threats, as ex
clusively stated In The Evening Times of
that date, was tried before Judge Miller,
In the police court, yesterday.
Mr. White and his bride, ;nee 3Ilss Ger
trude llislop, were the prosecuting wit
nesses. Thetcstlmonyof thenewly wedded
pair, as well as that of the deTcndant, and
his sister. Dr. Margaret llislop, brought
out several very interesting bits of Jamlly
history.
The case centered around White and his
bride. The young lady was the supposed
ward of Dr. Margaret HIslop, anil she and
her brother violently opposed the girl's
union with ilr. "White. The brother
threatened to "kill "White ir the marriage
was accomplished, and on this threat the
warrant was sworn out.
White nnd his young wife testified to
the threats, and the latter told of the
manner In which he had been treated
by Dr. Margaret and the defendant.
When the defendant took the stand he
spoke in a very hesitating manner, and the
character of his testimony was juich as
to induce Judge ililler to remark, at IU
conclusion, that he"jieedcd looking after.
lie said that what the young lady and
her iiusband regarded as threats vae only
expressions of filial afTection and regard
for her. Tie said he was .not related to
her.
Dr. Margaret -was then called and testi
fied that she had heard nothing of any
threats.
"Are you related to this young lady?"
asked Judge illller.
"I'm her mother," was the unexpected
answer.
The statement created a little sensation
in the court room, and the young lady
vehemently dented the alleged relation
KlUp. Tt. "Margearrt'a brother was re
mlleil. nnd he substantiated Ills sister's
statement and said he was the girPs uncle.
Up said that he. too. had been tirreaicncu
and by the prosecuting witness. He pro
duced a letter rrom one to jus uxiue,
written some time ngo, but the court de
cided that it -was not a threat.
In summing tip he said that the young
lady was married to the man of her choice
and the two must not be molested. Be
renuired the defendant to give $200 bonds
to "keep the peace.

Special JjCgUIation Necensary to Dis
pose ot tho Lund Act for ltellef of
Owners of W Inert o Along- Itrver
.Front Must A1koUVPum1 Govern
ment Title to CoiuIkiioum Property.
The future use of the jirorTty recovered
for the government by Assistant District
Attorney Hugh T. Tnggart In the Potomac
Flats twit Is beginning lo bo generally dis
cussed. FromEasby'sPointtotbeArsenal
there are in all about 7G0 acres within the
city limitii Involved In that salt, in
cluding warfage prirtlcges'-lt Is' worth
nearly 5.10,000,000. Thecate wllltoon be
advanced on the United Blatcs Supreme
Court calendar. It Is reasonably ure the
Judgment of the court below will be af
firmed. Then the question' will be; "What
will the government do with iu new terri
tory? One of Mr. Taggart'e contentions was that
the lands are within the city limits and the
decision establishes this. Therefore, un
der the act of 1S30 no patents to the prop
erty can be made.
SPECIAL LEGISLATION KEQUIUED.
It will require a special act of Congress to
dispose of thelani hi any way. it-willako
require an act for the relief of the owners
of wharves alonj the river frontfroni Long
Ilrldge to theArsenal. Otherwise they "will
lose their rights. The measures may come
for consideration betore the next Congress.
Another feature of the greut, legal contro
versy Is occupying tne attention of Mr.
Taggart just at this time. Jtis-lhu ques
tion of tlie value of lands between A street
and the old water line in the neighbor
hood or. Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets. ' Iu order to establish
the goverument's title to the large tract
beyond JS. street Mr. Taggart was obliged
to maintain that there is an A street in this
section, although It has not. been laid out.
The effect of this was to make private
property of the lands Immediately .north of
it reaching toward 11 street. As the ques
tion of value of such property was not con
sidered In the .suit recently decided, tho
court granted oivncrs ot these -lands the
prlrtlegelo take testimony on ;hat privilege.
The ground was under tidewater at the
time the government began Its reclamation.
Its value previous to that Is being consid
ered, but some of the witnesses tailed give
Tlgures, as If its present value were being
considered, and'place them ldgh even for
that.
VALUATION OF THE LAND
One witness said the ground Is worth
$1.50 to $1 7D per square foot. Debased
this value ou the belief that ground nearer
the city Is becoming so valuable that wood
and coal yards and lee warehouses and the
llkecannotoccnpyit. They will, therefore,
be obliged to go upon these reclaimed lots.
Another witness 6ald he thought the land
worth t-1.00 to $S per square foot. Thl3
was In square 148. lie was asked If be
did not own land In square 147, on thehlgh
ground beyond B street. He said he did.
"What did you pay for It?" asked Mr.
Taggart.
-'Must 1 answer that," he inquired.
"res," was the reply,
"Thirteen cents per square Toot," he
said.
When the matter comes to a final adjust
ment, the government lias oneescape from
extortionate prices. The land is properly
a part or the lands recovered by the suit,
but the government can get.along.Tery well
without it. If it is worth $1.50 per
square Toot, the private -owners-will be
permitted to hold It and-Sfe.what'Use-tbey
can make or it at that price.
The government contends that the ground
was under water and in that condition was
worth nothing. At that price It Is willing
to acquire title and use the whole tract.

SLAIN AT HIS YERY DOOR
Shocking Murder of an Old Farmer
in Virginia.
Alter Being; Shot Down Ills Skull "Was
Crushed lu, Tliroat Cat and ttio
Body Bobbed.
Richmond, "Va., Nov. 6. A Loray, "Va,
special to the Dispatch says:
One or the most shocking and brutal
murders ever perpetrated In this county
was committed yesterday afternoon at the
home of -M r. "Willis B.Xlbler, near the base
of the Ala&sanutton Mountain, about five
or six miles northwest of Luray.
Mr. Kibler himself was the victim. Ha
was seventy-one years old, and unmarried,
and his household consisted of himself and
a nephew, Newton JDoler. a boy seventeen
or eighteen years of age, Tvho-wasploushlng
not very far .from tlie house when bu
uncle returned home about 4 o'clock-, after
having been to Springfield to vote. Jlr.
Kibler Bald ho was not feeling well, and
after giving the boy some directions, went
to tha house.
About an hour afterward, the nepbevr
heard the report of a gun, and four or flvs
minutes later two more shots, and upon
coing tn the bouse, discovered the dead
body of his uncle lying in the yard. He
had been shot In the left side of the face,
the load ranging upward nnd entering tho
brain. The bad: part or his bead was
crushed In with a blunt Instrument, and
the victim's throat was cut, the wind
pipe being severed. The shots were fired
through the window of the kitchen as th
unfortunate man approached or looked
In the window and -were sufficient to causa
death.
The murderer, however, made sure -work
of hastening the end by the blow on tha
head and the use ot the knife. The gun
used belonged to the murdered man, and
an ax. said not to belong on the place,
was round.
The pocket of -the slain man s coat,
where he usually carried Ills money, was
found empty, and a pocket diary ne had
kept Tor nearly thirty -years was found
near the body. Some suspicions are enter
tained as to the perpetrator of the hor
rible deed. The deceased was a Con
federate veteran and generally respected.
