Important elections were held
in eleven States : Ohio, New
York,Iowa, Massachusetts. Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky.
Maryland, Nebraska, South
Dakota and Virginia.
Ohio elected a Governor, Lieu
tenant-Governor. State Treasur
er, Attorney-General. Judge of
the Supreme Court, Dairy and
Food Commissioner, member of
the Board of Public Works, a
Legislature and county officers.
New York elected a Secretary
of State, Comptroller, Treasurer,
Attorney-General. Judge of the
Court of Appeals, Engineer,
Legislature and delegates to a
Constitutional Convention.
In New Jersey half the mem
bers of the Senate and a full
lower House were chosen.
Massachusetts elected a Gov
ernor. Lieutenant Governor,
Secretory of State, Treasurer,
Auditor Attorney-Geueral. Exe
cutive Councillors and a Legis
lature.
Iowa elected a Governor and
other State officers, together with
a Legislature which will choose
a successor to United States
Senator James P. Wilson, whose I
term expires in 1895.
In Pennsylvania the election
was for State Treasurer, Judge |
of the Supreme Court and county
officers.
Nebraska elected a Justice of I
the Supreme Court and three
Regents of the State University.
Kentucky chose a Legislature
which will elect a U. S. Senator
to succeed Wm. Lindsay whose
term expires in 1895, and county
officers. J
Maryland elected five Judges
a Comptroller and a Legislature.
South Dakota elected three
Judges of the Supreme Court
and eight Judges of the .Circuit
Court.
Virginia elected a Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney
General and a Legislature that
will choose a U. S. Senator to
succeed Eppa Hunton, who was
appointed by the Governor to fill
the vacancy caused by the death
of John S. Barbour. This Legis
lature will also elect a Senator
for the full term of six years
from March 4, 1815.
The elections in the other
States were chiefly of a local
character.
In every one of the above nam
ed States there were great Re
publican gains. Kansas is going
back from the Populistic fanatic
ism to Republicanism. Iowa is
redeemed. New Jersey defeats
the disreputable ring,1 Michigan
is all right. In Virginia there
was no Republican ticket and
the fight was between the Demo
crats and Populists, the Demo
crats winning. Pennsylvania
gives over 100.600 Republican
majority.
Ohio has practically swept the
Democrats from her soil and the
Republican majority may reach
100,000. New York did a beauti
ful work, by sending us ahead
4J.OOO on the regular ticket and
over 100,000 on one candidate.
Iowa is redeemed and the plural
is a daisy.
In Massachusetts a Democratic
Governor is turned out and a Re
publican Governor turned in. And
so it goes.
This is still a Republican Re
public and in 1896 it will come
again unto its own.

X Katler Guarded the Corpse.
Charles Elslie, a youth of 19,
committed suicide in New York I
the other day. His father is a
taxidermist and the youth was
very fond of animals and had
many strange pets, among which
was a large rattlesnake. When the
door of his room was forced open
and his bloody body discovered
the rattlesnake was found coiled
around its stiffened arm. The
snake reared its head, shook its
rattles angrily and started for the
intruders, who beat a hasty retreat
when the devoted serpent return
ed to the body which it guarded
with touching devotion. The boy's
father had to be sent for to re
move the rattler before anybody |
dared approach the body.

The Boundary Line Between
West Virginia and Mary
land.
Attornoy GoneralPoe.of Mary
land. has filed in tho Supremo
Court of the United States the
answer of Maryland to the cross
bill of tho Attorney-General of
West Virginia to fix the boundry
line between the two States. Tho
original bill was filed by Attor
ney-General White, of Maryland,
in November. 1891. West Vir
ginia. by its Attorney-Genertl
Hon. T. 8. Riley, filed itB an- |
swerlast spring, and its cross
bill in Juno. These proceedings
involve the long disputed ques
tion between the two States.
West Virginia succeeding to tho
claims and alleged adverse pos
session of Virginia. The claim
of the people ?f this state as to
the Western boundary between
the Fairfax grant and tho colony
o- Virginia, must be taken to
mark the -first fountain of the
Potomac," that being tho desig.
nation of the western boundary
of Maryland in tho charter from
? f?toS ? 10 ^ n*'??n?re
in 10,^. Our lawyers aod states
men also claim that the lino must
be thence run north to the Penn
sylvania line by the lino surveyed
and laid down by Francis Deak
ins in 1771.
Maryland's claim is that "the
first fountain of tho Potomac"
was not truly marked at tho Fair
fax stone, but that the bouolary
should begin at tho head of tho
South Branch of the Potomac,
as being in reality the first foun
tain of the river, and that tho
lino should run thence duo north
to the Pennsylvania line. A
further claim ot Maryland is that
the Deakin's line of 1771 was
only a provisional line run until
??.itTjiDe C?nld 1)0 deB?"tely
settled between the two States.
The Southern boundary of
Maryland In dispute. West Vir
ginia claims. Is the north ban it
of the Potomac. That boundary.
Maryland claims, is the South
bank of the Potomac frcm "the
first fountain of the river" to the
boundary line at or near Harpers
Perry, between Virginia and
West Virginia, as the boundary
between Maryland and Virginia
was decided by the Black-Jenkins
award to be the south bank from
Harpers Ferry to the Chesajwake
The record is now made up on
bo h sides, and a final descision
of this important question, it is
said, will be given at the present
term of the Supreme Court. Tho
land covered by tho dispute. ?
cording to Maryland's claim to
South Branch of the Potomac
consists of nearly 500.000 acres.
If 1 ne run by Lieutenant Mich
er in 1859 should be estab
ished Instead of the Deakin's
line, the present supposed bound
?ry between Garrett county,Md
?od Preston oounty, W. Va.. will
be changed, and Maryland .will
acquire a strip of land starting
from the Fairfax stone, thirty,
seven miles long and three
queers of a mile wide at tho
?eupbnlral.
