DOWN IN THE MOUTH
The G. 0. P. Knocked Galley
West in New York.
A Decision That Gives the
Senate to the Democrats.
The Republican Bosses Dismayed at
Their Loss of Power.
A Reapportionment BUI to Be Rushed
Through and Democratic Su
premacy Made Secure
for All Time.
Associated Press Dispatches.
Albany, N. V., Dec. 29.—A decision
' waa handed down this afternoon by the
court of appeals in the contested elec
tion cases which appears to give tbe
Democrats control of the senate. The
court decided that certificates of election
should be given to two Democrats and
one Republican, leaving one case for the
state board of canvassers to settle.
In the Onondaga senatorial and as
sembly districts the Democratic candi
dates get certificates. In the Steuben
senatorial district the court holds Sher
wood ineligible, but Win. A. Sherland.a
Republican attorney, however, says the
court's opinion says that the board can
not give a certificate to Walker, tbe
Democratic candidate. In the Reneea
laer-Washington senatorial district,
Derby, the Republican candidate, will
get the certificate. In Dutchess county
district, Jud<se Cady, counsel for
Deane, says the court's decieion
says while Mylod's certificate could
be" canvassed co far as regards
its form, yet the allegations as to its
truthfulness Jand regularity on behalf
of the Republicans, have not been met
by the Democrats, and therefore the
state board of canvassers should await
another return from Dutchess county.
The decision caused great consterna
tion among the Republicans, but they
have not given up the fight, and the
leaders are now in consultation as to
what is best to be done. The Demo
crats are jubilant, and a prominent one
says: "ilcreatterthelU-public.au party
in this state will be a dream of the past,
so far as political standing goes. The
Democrats have now complete control
of the etate government, and an enu
meration bill will be rushed through
and at once followed by a reapportion
ment and redisricting bill."
Democratic counsel claim that under
the court's decision the state board of
canvassers can give a certificate to
Walker, the Democratic candidate for
senator in the Steuben district. In the
Dutchess district they agree with the
Republicans that the state board of can
vassers must await a modified certificate
from Dutchess county before canvassing
the vote in that dietrict.
The state board of canvassers have
not yet met, but the members are in
consultation, having the court's de
cisions and opinions before them.
Excitement is intense about the oflice
of the secretary of state. The Repub
licans' lawyers are all present, as well
as pnlilirunns of hi»b and \o-*- rlvgrrje. ,
An immense crowd oi lawyers and
politicians gathered around the ante
room to the court of appeals early in
the forenoon, awaiting the decieion.
When noon passed without the appear
ance of the justices, the Republicans
began to lose hope, since it indicated
that a council was being held, and as
the court stands 5 to 2 Democratic, the
Republicans knew a dispute on party
lines was fatal to them. The justices
finally appeared at 1:30 and handed
down the documenEs, which were carried
to the office of the secretary of state,
where the opposing lawyers struggled for
some time to learn what lay within
15,000 words of legal verbiage. The re
sult is given above.
When the board of canvassers met
this evening tbey awarded the certifi
cate in the fifteenth district to Osborn,
Democrat; in the sixteenth to Derby,
Republican; In the twenty-fifth to
Nicholls, Democrat; in the twenty
seventh, no award was made, the board
leaving it to the senate to determine
whether any candidate is elected, in
view of the decision of the court of ap
peals that Sherwood, Republican, is in
eligible.
With this district in abeyance, the
senate will stand: Democrats, 10; Re
publicans, 15 ; one doubtful—Sherwood's
district. The importance of the Demo
crats controlling the senate is national
and may possibly decide the next presi
dential election, as there will surely he
a reapportionment of the Btate by the
Democrats.

Awoclated Press Dispatches.
Nashville, l'enn., Dec. 29.—Marion
and Dave Beatty and Own Bowden, of
Fentress county, on the upper Tennes
see, lie dead in their houses, and Ed
ward Harris, their murderer, ia a
fugitive from justice with a reward
offered for his apprehension. Three
months ago Mary Beatty, a sister of
tbe dead men aud the belle of the upper
Tennessee country, retired from so
ciety. Then it became noised about
that the young woman had become a
mother. This story waa substantiated
some time after by the sudden arrest of
Claiborne Beatty, a banker, and the
richest man iv the county, at the insti
gation of the girl, his daughter, who
charged him with being the father of her
child. This stirred up a hornet's nest, ami
so ieariul were the jailer and sheriff ot
a mob that they removed him from jail
and into another county for Bale-keep
ing. Neighbors and Irieuds began to
take sides, some with the wronged
girl, others with the father. Finally
Beatty gave a heavy bond and
Iclt the country. Mary Beatty went
to live with a distant relative, Hiram
Harris, who lived at AlUrdt, not far
irom Jamestown. The Harris family,
accompanied by Mary Beatty, came lo
town Alonday to Uo some trading and
to appear beiore 'he grand jury to tes
tily against tier lather. The Beatty
hoys were there with their irieuds and
relatives. Cuurt adjourned at 4 o'clock,
and ulier making some purchases the
tlarril family anu Alaiy Beatty started
home. \V neu the Harris lamily lelt
tne court house yard Gwyn Bowdeu
and the Beatty brothers mounted their
horses and lollowed tnem. One mile
from Jamestown one ot the Beattya rode
up to the side oi the wagon aud de
manded that the girl go home with him,
emphasizing tne command with a cut
on tne lace with his whip. The girl re
plied that she would rather die than
live with him again. Beatty again
attacked hia Bister, when Harris
pulled a revolver and shot all
three men, and then escaped. The
Beattys aiways enjoyed the reßpect ot
the people ol the couuiy, and Claiborne
Beatty was a Btate representative, lie
was extensively engaged in the general
merchandise and lumber business.
Many believe the girl's story concerning
her father. Sue is educated, a strik
ingly haudsome woman, about 20 years
old, ana enjoys the esteem of every one
iv the vicinity. There is a report that
Miss Beatty and youug Harris were
married some time ago iv Scott county,
but it cannot be conhrined.

A CLOSE GAME.
THE APOLLO AND ALL-STAR TEAMS
HAVE A HOT BATTLB.
Points in Yesterday's Contest at Athletic
Park—Hassamer Makes His Debut ati a
Twirler and Soores a Success—Good
Playing Throughout.
Yesterday's game at Athletic park be
tween the All-Star Californiana and Lob
Angeles teams was one of the best if not
the best played here this season. As
will be seen by the totals, the score was
cloEe, and for several innings the teams
'were on even terms. It waa anybody'a
game until the last man was out.
Hassamer and Lelande and Moody
and Stanley were the batteries, and
contributed largely to make the game
interesting.
It is surprising that the public is not
giving the management better support.
They have at great expense fitted up
grounds second to none in the state, and
secured players of national reputation
to play on the teams. The series be
tween the All-Star team and Edwards
and McKnigbta Apolloa has been the
best played in thia city for years, and
with the exception of one game, the
I result baa We? uncertain until the laat
' inning was Stashed.
Popular prices waa the cry of the
public when the high rates of admis
sion were in vogue, and the managers of
this series have acceded to the popular
demand and provided better accommo
dations than the people of this city have
ever known and the teams are giving
first class exhibitions.
The features of the game were Hassa
mer's all-round playing, Dungan's long
run and catch of Moody's fly to left field,
which saved tbe game, and Goldie's
beautiful catch in right field.
During the game the Loa Angeles boys
took in nineteen fly balls; the fielding
of both teams was almost errorless, as
can be understood when the score stood
3 to 2 in favor of the Los Angeles at the
finish.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday's games
should bring out big crowds. The elec
tric company put on extra cars for the
games and are giving excellent service.
The score followa:

A HAPPY SEA DOG.
TACITURN ADMIRAL BROWN LIKES
PASADENA.
He Says the San Francisco Is Not Or
dered to Chile—Awaiting Instructions
in San Diego Bay.
Admiral Brown, in command of the
Pacific r-quadron of the United States
navy, was in town for a few minutea
yesterday and was seen by a Herald re
porter just as he was boarding the Santa
train from San Diego at 3 o'clock.
"I am here simply on a pleasure trip,"
said he, after he had refused to answer
several commonplace questions put to
him by the reporter. "I observed yes
terday that the San Francisco, which
you know is lying in San Diego harbor,
was about to take on coal, and not de
siring to be converted into a negro from
the dust, my wife and I decided to take
a flying trip to Pasadena, and we have
just returned after a pleasant visit and a
view of one of the prettiest little cities
upon earth."
'Ts the San Francisco going to sail for
Chile?" ventured the reporter. .
"Well, tbat I am not prepared to
say," rejoined the admiral, as be
glanced downward, admiringly, upon
txii expansive chest.
"Has the vessel been ordered there?"
persisted the reporter, greatly to the
discomfiture of tbe man of many battles.
"No, she has not," said he. "She
will be all ready for sea by tomorrow,
and then we will remain in the harbor,
awaiting orders, which I expect to re
ceive at any moment."
"In caae" of war with Chile," asked
the scribe, "what steps will the govern
ment be likely to take to fortify the
harbors of San Diego and San Pedro
against tbe possible encroachment of
tbat hostile power?"
"You will have to ask that gentleman
there," replied the admiral as be turned
good-naturedly toward General McCook,
who stood beside him, aa he attempted
to stand off the reporter. "You know,
in case of war, it is the place of the army
to provide coast defenses."
The reporter then asked the admiral if
he thought war with Chile imminent.
"1 hat is a hard question to answer,"
he replied, "and if I could answer it I
would hesitate to dc so, for the simple
reason that my opinion would not
amount to much."
The reporter thought likewise and
withdrew from the august presence of
the battle-scarred veteran of the Pacific.
