CAMPAIGN CLOSED IN RICHMOND. No Indications of an Greaty En? thusiasm Was Noticeable. AN AVERAGE VOTE EXPECTED. Captain Lamb, Democratic Candidate for Congress, Expects Four Thousand Mu Jorlty-Flvc Persona Narrowly Kscnpo Dentil by Asphyxiation ? Manufacturers Will <ilv? Ktuployces toTlmc^'ote-Kstl mnti'K of Democratic Majorities In Vir? gin', .oigresslonnl Districts. ccinl to Virginian-Pilot.) Richmond, Va., Nov. 6.?The cam? paign closed here to-night with no In? dications of any great enthusiasm, but with the chances that an averaKC vote will be cost to-morrow. The city of Richmond four years ago gave Mr. Bryan 7,S55 votes, a plurality of a little over 2,000. It Is not probable, as far as can be Judged at this time, that his vote will be any larger. It is more probable that it will be somewhat smaller. It Is a noticeable fact, though, that those who decline to vote for Mr. Bryan will almost unanimously sup? port Captain John Lamb for Congress. Captain Lamb said this morning that he was conlldent of receiving at least 4,000 majority In the district, and that it would probably be greater. General Edgar Allan, Captain Lamb's opponent, declines to make any predic? tions as to the result. He said this morning that if there had been any re? formation among the judges of election he might be able to hazard a guess as to the winner. A CLOSE CALL. Elve persons, among them Miss Sarah Ramos, a teacher In the High School, came near meeting death by asphyxiation early yesterday morning. A boy employed in the Richmond Rocket Company's store, on lower Main street, in putting out. the gas failed to fully turn It off. The result was that the upper rooms, which were used for lodging rooms, became titled*with gas. and when the police broke into tho building It. was tilled with the deadly vapor. Tlie occupants were made sick for a short time. TIME TO VOTE. It Is understood that the various manufacturers of Richmond will give their employees ample time to vote to? morrow. The Trigp Company will close down nt 3 o'clock, nnd the Traction Street far Company will put on an extra force. No other corporations have made any special preparations, but all. it is understood, will lenghtcn the dinner hour. VERY NEARLY A WRECK. An extra Southbound freight train on the Atlantic Coast Line came near meeting with a serious accident at l'.at tleboro, N. C., at an early hour this morning. The train was moving on n new siding at Battloboro, in order to allow the Northbound last mail to pass, when one of the rails sank seve? ral feet in the newly-made roadbed, and the engine and three cars of the freight careened and almost toppled over. Engineer Mill?, of the freight, sprain? ed one of his ankles <iuite severely by Jumping. No one else was hurl. The accident caused both the main track and the siding to be blocked for about three and n half hours, and the fast mail was delayed this length of time. VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL DIS? TRICTS. The Democratic, loaders arc confi? dent of carrying nine of the ten dis? tricts in this State to-morrow. Son;, of them privately admit that General Walker may defeat Judge Rhea in the Ninth district. Mr. George Lindsay, of Norfolk county, was here to-day. He says Harry Maynard will easily defeat Dr. R. A. Wise. His majority wilkbe 2,600 or 3,000. Colonel Wm. Henry Mann, of Pe? tersburg, stntes that Frank Lassiter will carry every county in the Fourth district, with the possible exception of Prince Edward and Greensvllle. The news from tho Tenth district, that Is the news from Democratic sources, indicates tho election of Hal. Flood by 2,000 majority. The .situation in this State as view? ed from a Democratic standpoint Is as follows: Jones will win in the First district by 5,000. Maynard will carry tho Second dis? trict by 2,500. Lamb will defeat Allan in the Third district by 4,000. Lassiter will lead Wilson in the Fourth district by 4,000. Swanson will succeed himself in the Fifth district by 2,000.

Republicans do not claim the State for McKinley, but they say Wise u ?:: be elected in the Second district; Wil? son in the Fourth; Walker in the Ninth, and Hubard In the Tenth, and they state that the Third and Fifth nre in doubt, UNITED STATICS COURTS.

This is a suit In admiralty, resulting from tho sinking of tlie Fannie Brown by the Margaret B. Roper. It is an appeal from the District Court of South Carolina. A decided air of confidence marked the closing hours of the campaign at Democratic headquarters to-day. Colonel Button was absent in the Tenth district, helping Senator Flood, and Chairman Ellyson leaned back In tils easy chair and received his callers with a smile of evident satisfaction at the fine shape he has succeeded In get? ting the party in throughout the State. ?'Nothing but a few requests for speakers has come in to-day," said the chairman, "and we are ready for the great fight to-morrow." He Is pleased with the outlook for pretty weather, and says he looks for a fairly large vote in tho State. Ho Is confident of a largo majority for Bryan and Steven? son and of u solid Democratic delega? tion In the Fifty-seventh Congress. The party, Bays tho chairman, is in tine tix all along tho lines, and will show up with good results to-morrow.. A RIPPLE OF EXCITEMENT. It was reported on the streets to-day that Richmond bankers had been ad? vised by some of their Korthern cor? respondents that there was great dan? ger of the election of Bryan to-mor? row, und it Is said to have caused quite a rlplo In commercial circles. The Democrats generally regard it as an attempt on the eve of buttle to scare the stuy-nt-homd business voters and make them turn out and vote for .McKinley. DIED AT FARM VIELE. Information was received here to? day of the death in Farmville yester? day of Mrs. Bettle McKlnney, widow of Samuel B. McKlnney, a brother of the late ex-Governor l'hil W. McKln? ney.

An Knjoynblo lloolc Social -Tho "Spring Chicken" n Funny Show Kotes That arc Personal and Otherwise Two I.lttlo Deeds. fSpecIal to Virglnlan-Pilot.l Suffolk. Va., Nov. 5.?Rev. John Stan? ley Thomas. of tho Presbyterian Church, Sunday night preached a ser? mon meant to be appropriate on the last day but one before a national elec? tion. Mr. Thomas is a brother of Ohas, lt. Thomas, of Newbernc, X. C, who is a candidate for re-election to Con? gress. The minister said In part: "This Is a time of political excite? ment. We ought to be ''opposed to bosses In State and church. A noted political boss on the.witness stand in New York was asked the ?tuestion: 'Are you in politics tor what you pot out of it?' and replied. "Yes sir, all day and every day in the week." This Is the answer Of :i boss. Men say wo must have leaders in politics. What we want in America Is men who will llghl hand in hand and should.-r to shoulder to the end that government for. by and of the bosses shall perish from tho earth. "There Is tho journalist, lie Is tho recorder <?f the history <>f happenings every day in the week. The dally press is the mightiest power in modern civilization. There are fools opposed to newspapers. Whatever enlightens Is a service to man. The exposure of wrongs by the daily press Is a restraint and the recital of virtues is an Inspl ro t ion. "Service Is tho tost of business suc? cess, and the measure of usefulness. Wo ought not to attack the vocation wbicll creates and distributes, which gives something for something and does not take without giving back. "Politicians are often guilty of over? looking the fact that whatever en? larges In production builds up in ser? vice. No vocation nor man Is Inde? pendent. Independence Is a much glo? rified thing. That vocation, that man which render's the greatest service bears the character of the greatest. The measure of success Is service. The Strong shall serve the wea; the wise the Ignorant: the rieh the poor?ami this Is Christian principle." "BOOK SOCIAL. The young ladles of Suffolk College were entertained Friday night by the social club of the Y. W. C. A. in their reception-room. The "nook Social" was a success.

Huntington, founder and owner of the shipyard, the ceremony will bo very simple, nothing to compare with previous naval launchIngs here, hut tho probability is that a largo crowd will witness the event.

For this reason a crowd of no small proportions is expected to ho present, tho neighboring cities and counties contributing their usual num? ber of Interested spectators.

She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not tho whole story. She holds hack something, loses her head, becomes agi? tated, forgets what sho wants to?8ay, and finally conceals what she ought to havo told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that tho doctor fails to euro the disease ? Still we cannot blame tho woman, for it is very em? barrassing to detail some of tho symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is tho reason why hundreds of thousands of women are now in corre? spondence v.-Uh Mrs. Piukham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give ov< v symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them ?ho is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient' than the physician can possibly obtain through y. personal interview. Following we publisb a letter from a woman showingtho result of a correspondence with Mrs. Piukham. All .such letters arc considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. Pinkkarii, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient ; hut hundreds of women arc bo grateful lor the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine luivo been able to r l ure to them that they not only consent to publishing th< r letters, but write asking that this be done in order that ther women who suffer may be benefited by their exp'er: ice.
