The election was held at Guaymarlllo, Puerto
Prlnclpo, on Nov. 4, and the representatives of
jes y all the six 8tate Into which the island is ill-
ijsFSp Tided were present. The official now was do-
p layed In reaching here because it was tent by
Si a special agent who bad to cross the Span-
B ish lines at the Jucaro-Moron trocha and
k" . to be escorted br Cuban troops through the
&L prorinces ot Puerto Principe, Bant a Clara,
jB - Mutanzas and Iltrana. The official communlca-
fi; tlon shown to Tun Sun's correspondent will be

$1 ft The election was orderly, and Masso trl-
1,23 , umphed by a largo majority. Gen. Callxto
3ffJjS - Garcia. Salvador Clsneros Botancourt. and Do-
ljfl? mlngo Mcndcz Cnpote also received votes for
IBEf tho Presidency. The election so safely and
jViSf peacefully made by deputies from all over the
Bk' Island is an evidence of the strength of the
Wr revolution, and tho news has produced a treat
W sensation among tbo Spaniards in Havana.
I Tho lance sugar plantation Portugalete,
5L on ned by Scfior Manuel Cairo, a leader of tho
flTf uncompromising bpaniards, was burned yestcr-
H dnybv the Insurgents. Portugoleto is only a
of& few miles from Havana city. All tho sugar
Scano in the fields was destroyed. The same fate
has overtaken tho sugar estates Carmen of
BBS Forn-indcx do Castro. Provldcncla, near Guinea,
BSJ : and nil tho cnnefields near Batabano, San
H Felipe, and Qulvican, in this province. The
BH j cstato Julia Duran, belonsing to tho Casuso
BBJK: fimlly, was destroyed and tho sugar cane
Bjf burned.
Hi lieu. Gomez, in issuing orders for this de-
flflj strncllon, said that it was his answer to Gen.
BJj n Blanco's proclamation allowing tho grinding of
W "vj sugar this year and encouraging it In order to
, Increase the revenues of Spain. Not a single
BKk, , estate, says Gomez, will bo allowed to grind
fcSV unless It pays a heavy tax to the revolution.
BKv Jose Loreto Cepero, an Insurgent Colonel who
BBi' was released from the CabaOa fortress some
BBHI. . months ago as an American citizen, has been
jHj itr-Jt appointed by Gen. Gomoz to command the patri-
BKf ots In Havana province in place of Brigadier
Bflf Adolfo Castillo, murdered last month by the
If' Spanish. Copero has inspired terror among the
(fj Spanish columns by his dashing enterprise
BB " recently in Santa Clara province.
BBj A Cuban hospital near Artcmlsa, PInar del
BBji' Rio province, hts been raided by the Spanish,
EB. " and twenty sick, patriots, women and children
wWk murdered.
Hit The treatment of the paciflcos by the Spanish
mWf soldiers and police is as cruel as in the days ot
BKjf Weyler. The Chief of Police of Matanzas tor-
Hf- tured several padflco women and children yes-

Tho large bridge at Skykomish has gone out.
and tho one at Index Is partly in tbe river. It
will tako at least four weeks to put this plcco of

Superintendent Foster of the Everett and

six tunnels. The water in this canon was many
feet higher than ever known before.
This section of road will be entirely rebuilt
next spring by a longer route, avoiding the

Gordon, a cousin ot Lelberman, and at Mrs.
Yetta Silverman, also of 123 Henry street, but
missed both.
Some six months ago Bchaplro was Intro
duced to Yetta Gordon. She U a good-looking
girl of 20 years, and Schaplro toll In love with
her at once. Yetta has Uved with Lelberman
since she come to this country from Russia
two yoars ago. Schaplro went often to see
Yetta, and In less than two month he had
gained her consent to marry hor. He bought a
diamond engagement ring and called on her
oftencr than ever otter that, coming by day aa
well as night. That awakened the girl's sus
picions. She asked him how he made his living,
how ho would support her In the event ot her
marrying him. Ho repUed evasively. Ho did
not dress very well, and at last Yetta told him
point blank that he must work or she would
never marry him. She did not discard him Im
mediately, but two weeks ago there cams a
climax to his courtship. Tho girl cried, and
Schaplro wrote out an agreement calling the
engagement at an end, and giving Yetta per
mission to marry whomsoever she wished. He
nroto the agreement under protest, and trem
bled when the witnesses signed tho document.
One ot theso witnesses was Louis Lelberman.
Yetta did not return the engagement ring.
She said tbat sho had lent Schaplro 923, and
tha. sho would not give up her only security
untU this had been refunded In full. Bcbapiro
did not deny this, and went away. He went
back once or twice, but was received coldly.
He Is said to have passed the house whero
Yetta Uves many times during the time that
elapsed between than and but night, bchaplro
came that way about 5 P. M. yesterday. There
was a great crowd beforo the tenement at 123
Henry street. The people of the crowd had the
word "wedding" on their Ups and It waa plain
to Schaplro that somebody was going to be
married there. He still loved Yetta, and who
elsen that bouse but Yetta would bo marry
lngl Ho hod: a revolver, 32-calIbre, a cheap
one. In his pocket. He would stop Yetta mar
rying, so he elbowed his way through the mob
Into tho bouie. Tho marriage was tbat ot Miss
Katio Rubenstein to Mr. Rudolph Goldstein,
and it was a great event in that locality, as
the contracting parties were well known.
Schaplro pushed his way into tbo apart
menta of Lelberman on the first floor, and
found himself in a room with Mrs. Silverman
and Yetta, who was dressed very charmingly
In red, for the was ono of the wedding guest.
Schaplro, the women say, began to beg Yetta to
marry him. Sbe refused emphatically, and
Schaplro struck her In the face, blackening her
eye and knocking her down.
He shot at her as she lay on the floor, but
didn't hit ber. Mrs. Silverman ran Into the
rear room, picked up her baby from the bed.
and, screaming "Murder I" started to run cut in
tho boll. He fired at her when the door was
between them, tho bullet breaking the gloss,
but doing no harm to the woman.
Lelberman, who had heard the shots, set out
to seize Schaplro as he tried to cseapo through
the haU. Tbe clothes presser fired point blank
at bis would-be capturer. His bullet penetrated
tbe abdomen and Lolberman sank to the floor
gnwinlng.-.Yettaflordon and Sarah Lelberman.
o cousin of Lelberman, Jumped for Schaplro
and were on bis back in a moment. Tbe re
volver was knocked from his hand. Through a
nearby door came a dosen of the wedding guests
who leaped over the wounded man to get Scha
plro. First of all came Meyer Lelberman, a son
of the wounded man: then Mrs. Silverman and
the bridegroom. Schaplro was soon on his
knees and a dozen pairs of hands reached to
claw htm and as many pairs of shoes to kick
him. Schaplro screamed for mercy as blood
poured all over bis face.
In the crowd outside were flvo of tho'Madison
streot station detectives. They hod been sent
down by the Sergeant to look after the crowd.
Tbey were scattered all through the mob when
they heard tho shots and the screaming ot tho
women In the house. They pushed everybody
aside and forced tbetr way into the tenement.
There they found the hall so Jammed that they
had to go over people to get to the shrieking
Schanlro and his victim.
An ambulance was called at once from the
GouTerneur Hospital and Lelberman was
taken there. He died at 12:15 A. M.
All those Involved in the row were taken to
the Madison street poUco station.
bergeant Brown, titer examining tbe wit
nesses, tent Schaplro to the hospital to have
him Identified by Lelberman, who was con
scious until a short time before his death.
Schaplro said be went to the bouse to get bis
diamond ring and that Yetta refused to give it
up. He declared be didn't owe her a cent, and
that, when he shot. It waa In self-defence.

San Fbahcisco. Not. 2L In tho suitbrourht
by Mrs. Ellen Col ton against her agent, Samuel
G. Murphy, the facts came out as to why Mr. C
P. Huntington bought the Colton mansion on
NobHiU. Huntington seldom spends more thsn
four or six week In San Franolsco every spring.
His custom wo to rent a suite of rooms at the
Palace Hotel. Six year ago he was occupying,
with his wife, a suite of rooms on the sixth floor
ot tbo Palace Hotel, when a severe earthquake
occurred. Mrs. Huntington was greatly alarmed
and thought the hotel waa going to fall.
When the shock was over sbe told her hus
band she would never come to San Francisco
again unless be would buy her a private resi
dence buUt ot wood in which sbe would feel
safe. So Huntington commissioned Joe Rea
ding, now in New York, to look for a bouse, and
Redding chose the Colton bouse, which many
regard as the handsomest residence on Nob
Hill. The price paid was 8270,000. It is vacant
during tbe greater part of the year, as the
Uuntfnglons never use it more than two months.
Now Mrs. Colton is suing Murphy to recover
52,500. which, she says, be retained for a fee."
lurphy said this money was paid to Bedding,
while he got nothing. He sued Mrs. Colton re
cently for 98,000 commission, but lost on a
technicality. .Now he declares he will bring an
other suit for V 16.000.

trees around the church. The minister spoke
eloquently, and, strangely enough, all ot them
referred to horse stealing and the evils of horse
trading as practiced by many simpers a
suuot g the worst evils of the W est.
After the meeting was over It was discovered
that a raid had been made on the fine horse
hitched around the church. Sixteen ot the
most valuable horses In the county were stolen,
together with two fine buggies, Tho raid was
cvidontly arranged in advanco and partici
pated in by several skilful horso thieves. No
trace of the gang has been found, though a num
ber of armed posses have been beating the
ravines along the river to the north. The
ground was frozen and no trace of tbe trail of the
stolen stock was left. A gang ot horse tbloves
have operated in this territory for some time
and tho work is attributed to them.

Tbe Bsv. Barvey Carroll Cbaraelertioa tbe
Paper Bitterly at a Paaeral.
Waco, Tex.. Nov. 21. Funeral services were
held to-day over the remains of W. A. and J. W.
Harris, the newspaper men who wtre killed on
Friday in a street light with Col. Gerald. A
great concourse of mourners attended.
The Rev. Harvey Carroll, who preached the
funeral oration, created a sensation by denounc
ing In unbridled language the cause of the i
tragedy. He referred to tbo bad blood which
has been engendered by W. C. Brann' Icono
eltut, and Its assaults on Baylor University.
Continuing the narrative to the Incident
of Friday, he declared that tbe Harris
brothers bod died at their posta In tho discbarge
of their duties. Tho card which they hod re
fused to publish for Cob Gerald, the preacher
sold, wss slanderous. He asserted that so long
as the Iconoclast Is permitted to continue Its
anarchistic course. Just so long will It be respon
sible for disasters and tbe wringing of hearts.
Col. Gerald's left arm was amputated yester
day, and It Is feared that the wound ho received
in tbe side may iaute blood poisoning. Tbe
controversy which precipitated the light of Fri
day had its origin about two years niro, when an
Oriental girl, brought to Baylor University to
bo educated as a Christian, became a mother.
Sho accused tbe son of ono of tho chief function
aries of the university. There were cross
charges of abandonment.
Editor Brann espoused the young woman's
ca so and heaped tbe bitterest Invectives on the
University faculty. Since then he has repeatedly
charged that female students at tho university
have been forced to return borne to conceal dis
grace. Brann has been mobbed twice by friends
of the university in the last six w eeks.

Trial nee Beea Terminated.
Cedar Rapids, la., Nov. 21. The Novak
.murder trial ha suddenly terminated by the
alleged discovery of the supposed dead man, Ed.
Murray, alive. There is little donbt tbat the
man whom Novak waa being triod for killing Is
alive and in Seattle.
The local authorities have been notified that
Charles Wood, recently of Vinton, la., walked
Into the Seattle police station and said that he
had met and talked with Murray. Wood
said there could be no mistake about It; that ho
not only saw Murray, but met and shook
hands and talked with him In a saloon.
They hod talked only a few minutes together,
when Murray stepped to the doer as If to call a
friend, went out, and failed to return. Though
Wood searched all over town, be could find no
trace of tbe man again.
Wood Is a man of high standing, and his word
Is believed. The Novak caso would nave been
submitted to the Jury to-morrow. It will now
bo suspended Indefinitely. Tbe question at once
arises. Whom did tho prisoner murder, if any
body! A year ago a mutilated body was found in
Novuk's store Novak was gone and the body was
identified as that of Murray. Novak bad in
sured bis life heavily and suspicions were at
once aroused. Novak was UnaUy chased by
detectives to the Klondike and brought back.

computed only three weeks ago, and 1 an ex
tension of the Baltimore dty passenger road.
It run from this dty to Mount Washington,
and la equipped with cars modelled after tho
used on (team road. They ax large and very
heavy. A portion of the road is doubled tracked,
but the part between Owing' Mills and Mount
Washington, about two and a half mile long,
has only a single track
Early thl morning the superintendent sent a
special car, with Theodore R. Merrick a motor
man and Thorns Ewtng a conductor, from
Owing Mills to Mount Washington. Tbsy
took with them B, F. Bnowden, an employee ot
the company, who was directed to look after
some work. The motorman was Instructed to
stop at a point known as McDonogh' switch
and wait there until the regular car should have
passed. The special made good time andreached
the switch four minutes ahead of the tlmo the
regular car was due. Merrick, thinking he
could make the next switch, about a mile and a
half beyond, before the regular should reach the
main track, started at full speed. Meanwhile
the car coming from the opposite direction had
already passed the point whlob the special
aimed to reach. This car was manned by II
llain F. Horner, motorman, and F. L. Walklna,
conductor, and had three passengers, Frank E.
Mabon, white, and Charles Snowden and Daniel
Brown, colored.
Tbo morning was very foggy, and Council
man's Hollow, which lies In the bottoms between
two steep hUIs, was invisible from either side
So dense was the fog tbat tt was impossible to
distinguish objects twenty feet ahead. Tbe two
cars started down the bill about tbe same time,
neither being aware of the approach of tba
other. Merrick, the motorman of tbe special,
drove his car along at a tremendous rate. The
regular also maintained a fnlr degree ot speed.
Jnst before reaching tho Hollow. Horner heard
the special and at once Jammed down the brake,
at the same time shutting oft tbe current. Tbe
Impetus, however, was so great tbat he went
ahead and the collision follow ed.
Tbe special, which was the lighter of the two
cars, telescoped tho regular, going half way
through It. The two motnrmen were caught bo
tween the cars and were so severely Injured
that Morrick, whose skull was fractured and
whose legs and feet were crushed, died almost
Instantly. Horner, one of whose legs was cutoff
and who was internally injured, died within
twenty minutes. Thomas Ewiog the conductor
of the special, was tired headlong through
space, landing on his head In the dibrts. He ha
concussion of the brain and will probably die.
Tbe passengers were severely injured, the col
ored men particularly being terribly cut about
the face by tho broken glass and being bruised
besldos. Both cars were smashed Into kindliest
ood. Merrick was 24 years old and Horner
was 35. Each leaves a widow and two children.
