The Gambling Fraternity Determined to Die Game The Policy of the Defense an Appeal to Fncle Nam A Day's Digest of the Folbe Record. The Mirror club rooms were heseiged by deputy United states marshals last night and ten persons arrested for violating the law prohibiting gambling. Neither landlord, dealer or player was spared and at 10 o'clock this morning Andy Mosher. John Weaver, Charles Cook. Alex Reed, John Rogers, Frank Martin, Joseph Allen, D. Johnson, M. 1". II jorth and Tidiuuie Couuors appeared before Commissioner Pratt. The chambers were packed almost U suffocation and it was given out in cold- - blooded emphasis that the gamblers pro- - posed to die game. fam Lewia appeared in behalf of the sport while. Assistant United Males Attorney Frank Stephens represented the govern-ment, and, on motion, the case aa con-tinued until : o'clock this afternoon. The fraternity is desperate, and for a dc. fense, is relying upon the money that ii kept in circulation by it. "HarriMin called off the deputies in chirruped one of the leaders, 'an.l we'll end in a petition to him'to Mop it here." "And there'll be a ma-- s meeting thi aftr-r- . noon." uiterped another of the fraternity, "to discuss tne matter." "Who'll mass?' was Hrked. "The merchants just did at ex den. Here e are, trying ti build up oui town and we can't afford t be meddled with.

Then there's the landlord, who :ire kb Ving because they know their buildings "ill ;: hunting for tenants if trunibling - stopped; and from the ma.--s meeting w. propose to K th governor." This was the tenor of the defrn.Jant'3 iong while others of the fraternity wh havo thought it best to act on a more a policy, sav that it is a mistake for them to oppose the law with any tliinLT like heroin measures or active hostilities. In the menu, time the lights have been outed in all clul houses, the dealers and other satellites have taken to the sidewalks and resorts where, thev arc discussing "ways and means," and, the" players who nightly throng the cham. bers have concluded that it is safer to keep out the quarrel and let the crusade take its course.

Of tea district judges,, the republicans probably elected eight., As there is no state officer voted for and on account of the fusion of the republicans and democrats, or the democrats and people's party in many coun-ties it is impossible to make any satisfactory comparison with the vote of last year. THE ALLIANCE IN THE HOLE. The Festive Farmers Failed to Hold Their Own in Kansas. Kansas Citt, Nov. 4. Dispatches from various counties show that the alliance didn't hold its own. Only forty. seven coun-ties of the 106 in the state are heard from. In only two of them have the alliance made a clean sweep. In the country the republi-cans appeared to have regained their foot-hold, while in the cities the alliance made slight gains. In the judicial districts the returns indicate that the alliance met a wholesale defeat. The republicans and dem-ocrats combined against the alliance, candi-dates for judges. Election returns from Kansas are coining in very slowly. Nothing has been heard from any of the counties in the western half of the state. Almost all counties of the eastern portion havu made jiartial re-turns. Such returns as have been received indicate that the people's party has lost its prestige. Out of fifty counties from which returns have been received, six will probably elect the people's party ticket at greatly re-duced pluralities. The other counties will SILVER AND LEAD QUOTATIONS.

First Appearance of the Prisoner-- Version of the Tragedy at the Tort In Print Banker Whitmore Gets a Contin-uanceThe Broker's AYin. The fierce craving demand of the, popular appetite for tragedy in which real life is made to pay the tribute, was again exempli-fied in Judge Zanes court chamber thisniom-ing- , the medium through which the crimson dish was to be served being the cae of Ku-fu- s Smith, the self confessed slayer of William Carter at Fort Douglas, the prisoner having entered, by consent, a plea of mur-der in the second degree and resigning him-self to the mercy of averging justice. It having been ordered by Judge Zauc that evi-dence be submitted that the gravity of Smith's offense might be determined a troop of witnesses reported from the fort and when court convened the lobbies presented a de-cidedly martial aspect. The argument in an important civil action having not yet been completed however, the tragedy was set aside for a few minutes. In the meantime Smith paced the floor of the cage in the marshal's office watching the hands "of the clock until a deputy finally re- - ported and notified him that his case had been renched. The examination opened with Joseph Manning, private in Co. "E," l'-t- regiment, on the witness stand. He testified that t.ie fatal altercation originated over the right to 25 cents. Smith challenged Carter to fisrht it out, and as they reached the thresh-old of the door a shot was tired. Carter reeled and cried "I'm shot!" Cross-examine- d by Judge. Poweis ""'"ness stated it was early morning; the men had been gambling and drinking beer, led the way out. Smith, who had been rtMiin.r monte. was somewhat under the m-- fluence of liquor. Mr. Greelv testified that the men iiad been gambling 'when the challenge was is-sued, Smith going: through the door in ad-vance, and when Carter stood in the door-way Smith shot. Carter exclaimed: "Mv God, boys, he's shot me!" "Witness, cross-examine- 6tated that he had been gambling. He was within about two and a half feet of Carter when the shot was.' tired. . Smith told Carter to come outsid" and fight it out. Carter said that was all right; it was agreeable to him. Private Laughlin testified that Smith was dealing when Carter reached over to pick up a bet. Smith said, "Leave that money alone." Carter said: "That's my money; I'll pick it up whenever I like." Some of the boys said: i.Ck..i l Tf n want to tlL'ht. SO OUt- - side and settle it." The men then retired, and as they reached the door the shot was fired. Smith, w itness thought, was enough tinder the influence of linuor to make hini quarrelsome. The examination on the part of the pros-ecution continued without any material change in the character of the evidence. In behalf of the prisoner counsel intro-duced certificates of promotion at different times, and his discharge after nve years ser-Ti- ee in 1884. Lieutenant Hactney of the L. S. A., com-manding "I" company, sixteenth infantry, testified to the good character and quietude of the prisoner. CapUin Clapp testified to the good char-acter of the prisoner and commended him as an excellent soldier. jijiji-u--- h the prisoner was called and in An , j j a., thirteen Bl soldier and had known Carter thrift i j't mha prisouer went to the old SutlerSTouildinsr,' which is rented for gambling and drinking purposes after pay-day. The court (interrupting) Do the com-manding oliicers rent that for gambling pur-poses ? Judge Powers The gambling there, your honor, is carried on in violation of discipline. Continuing, witness stated that he was un-der the inlluenee of liquor and was fright-ened when he shot; he carried a gun for the reason that citizens, soldiers and colored gamblers gathered there and frequently talked fight. This closed the evidence in behalf of the prisoner. Captain Morrison was called for the peo-ple and testified that his reputation was good as a soldier; he had been tried twice for incipient offenses. Argumcuts were then proceeded with. The review of the testimony having been concluded the case was submitted, and Smith, standing up with soldierly erectness, was sentenced to twenty-fiv- e years imprison-ment in the penitentiary. Banker tVhitinore in Court. The torture inflicted upon old man Leonard while he was confined as a prisoner in the county jail, and which the law now seeks to rebuke under the aristocratic name of "bat-tery," came up in the district court for the steenth time this morning, Judge Towers putting in his appearance for Banker Whit-mor- e while Assistant United States Attorney Stephens appeared for the prosecution. Counsel for the defense came forth with a voluminous document, and, upon new affidavits, asked a continuance for the term. In support of the application an affidavit was read from the defendant, who ct up that diligent efforts had been made to de-velop the whereabouts of one David Port, an inmate of the county jail at the time said offense is said to have been committed, and by whom it was expected to prove that de-fendant did not commit the offense alleged; that the attempt to find him had failed, and that it would do the defendant injustice to proceed w ithout witness or his deposition. Counsel added orally that Port w as con-fined in a neighboring cell and could see into that occupied by the complaining wit-ness. Judge Hogc of counsel for the defense stated on affidavit that a subpozna had been issued for the witness, and efforts made to reach him at the roek quarries, w hich had failed. One Goodsell, a deputy marshal, made affidavit that he had trailed the much sought witness to the rock quarries, ascertained that he had been in the employ of one Rob-erts, but lost sight of him at that point. Upon this Judge" Powers asked a continu-ance for the term. The court desired to know what counsel expected to prove bv the witnessed. Judge Powers that Whitmore is not .guilty of the offense charged. Mr. Stephens sttted that he had inquired of the officials of the county jail and ascer-tained that Port occupied a cell in the vi-cinity of that occupied by Leonard at the time the thumb screws were applied to ex-tort a confession, but that he (witness) was unable to see into it. The court ordered counsel to make the affidavits more definite, specifying what the witness in question would testify to. THE JOIST MEETIXG. A Resolution in Regard to the Organiza-tion of a Territorial Board of Trade. Folitical anxiety and suspense did nut pre-vent a large attendance last night at the joint meeting of the directors of the cham-ber of commerce and the members of the transportation bureau. It was a sort of ex-ecutive session, and what informotion is givcu was derived from those who partici-pated. These say that several questions concerning the material welfare of the ter-ritory were enthusiastically discussed and action was taken on them, but what that ac-tion was they would not disclose. One of the most important pieces of business trans-acted which could' be givcu to the public was the adoption of the following resolution: Rexolrsrf, That as earlv as expedient the Salt Lake chamher of commerce will be glad to co-operate with other cities of l"tah in regard to or- - rnnirii!" a territorisl board of trad for the pur. pose of taking up transportation and other n;w- -' tions concerning the welfare of the cities and the I territory. t IOWA STILL IN DOUBT. The Legislature Republican and the Greater Part of the State Ticket Too. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 4. The situation in this state has not changed materially, up to 1 o'clock 540 precincts out of a total of 1940 are reported. They give Wheeler re-publican, tiSOOO Boies democrat, (50035. The same precincts last year gave Hutchiuson republican, 50ol4 Boies democrat, 509,32 net a democratic gain of 315. The republican committee is still hopeful on account of the country districts which have been slow in reporting. The democrats claim the whole state ticket is elected. The republicans claim all but the governor, and will not con-cede that until the back precincts are heard from. The democrats concede the republi- cans the lower house of the legislature, and claim the senate will be a tie. In the sena-atori- al district in doubt, the chances are con-ceded to be with the republicans. If the republicans carry it, the senate will stand: republicans 27, democrats 25. The republicans claim the election of Van Houten for lieutenant-governo- r. The house is republican by four. The senate is in doubt on account of the Appanoose and Davis districts.

J New York, Nov. 4. The New York pA bytery assembled this morning in theScoj iresbytenan church for the purpose of t! ginning the trial of Professor Charles ill Briggs, on a charge of heresy, based upJf language used by him in his inaugural ai dress in Union Theological seminary. Im-Joh- C. Biiss presided as moderator. Thert is a full attendance. . i One of the chief charges against Dr. Brigg is that he disputes the iafallability of thf Bible. The professor read a paper objectin; to the form of the charges preferred, btatin that the report of the committee whic formulated the indictment against hir charges offenses which are not ncn proposed - for trial. The committe charges him with uttering doctrinal teachl ing respecting the miracles, the original coa. dition of man, etc., without attempting b prove the charge. This, Dr, Briggs said, did him a great in justice and was apt to prejudice the decisioi of the members. He said if he widespread anxiety he va sorry, but in . his conscienci he felt no guilt in regard to disturbing the peace and harmony of the church. He fur ther added that the charges were genorai and obscure and irregular in form through- out. There is nothfngin the specifications that can be tested by thj defendantj He added that the extracts from his s made on the occasion of his inaugura; as professor of biblical theology iu th Lnion Theological seminary, the fact! relied upon to sustain the ohargel were missing in the indictment. He sail also that the indictment .contained instnuJ tions wholly unwarranted. He denied thl he ever taught doctrines conflicting with thi, holy scriptures as the only rule of faith ani practice. 1 JOE. BLOCK'S TRIUMPH. He Leads in the Senatorial Majorities In Ohio.

A Republican Congressman from South Dakota Kansas Republicans lie-Ass- Themselves Xebraska Republicans Triumphant. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4. At midnight Campbell gave it up, conceding McKinley's election by 15,000. Chairman Hahn of the republican state committee claims the state by 19,000 to 21,000, and the general assembly by 31 to 33 on joint ballot. Chairman Hahu of the republican state committee has re-ceived information on the legislative candi-dates in about,all the counties of the Btate, which gives the following result: Sixty-- ' three republicans and thirty-seve- n demo-crats elected to the house, with live in doubt; eighteen republicans and thirteen democrats elected to the senate. Returns from the elections still come in slowly. At the state headquarters of the two parties unofficial information .has been obtained from probably half of the eighty-eigh- t counties. Chairman Hahn of the re-publican committee claims the plurality of McKinleytobc between 19,000 and 21,000, and that the republican majority iu the general assembly is thirty-seve- n on joint ballot. Chairman Ncal says McKinley's plurality will bu at least 12,000 and may reach 20,000 and that the re- - publicans will have twenty-eigh- t majority on joint ballot. A feature of the result is the complete dropping out of the people's party. Their vote in the state wiU not exceed 11,500 and thtey claimed before election at least. 75,000. Nov. 4.

A despatch received tiere from Rio Janerio, Brazil, brings news of what seems to be another revolution.' Congress, the despatch says, has been dis-solved and martial law proclaimed at Rio Janerio and throughout the provinces. The cablegram announces that a dictatorship has been established in Brazil. Fuller despatches regarding the revolution announced to have broken out in Brazil are anxiously awaited here by the financiers and merchants, who have large interests at stake in that country. The hope is expressed that the alarming report received may not turn out as serious as at present outlined. CHICAGO IS REPUBLICAN. Made a Clean Sweep With the Exception of Two Candidates. Chicago, Nov. 4. With the exception of two candidates, the complete returns show that the republicans made a clean sweep of the city and county. The two exceptions are L. M. Cooley, democratic candidate for drainage frustee, and Babcock, democratic candidate for county superintendent of schools. For the first time in many years the republicans secure absolute control of the county board, not a single democratic candidate pulling through. The republi- can majorities range from 3000 to 10,000, as against 897 at the last county election, ' Complete returns from nearly every pre- cinct in Cook county show the entire repub- lican ticket elected yesterday. The republi- can candidates for county commissioners in the city districts appear to have received majorities varying from 7000 to 14,000. The only democrat elected was Lyman E. Cooley, drainage trustee, who comes in as a minor-ity representative. The significant feature of the election is that nearly every man in-dorsed by the American "Know Nothing'' association appears to have beenelected- - A FALL TO DEATH. A CAGE IN THE ANACONDA SHAFT DROPS WITH NINETEEN MEN. Nenteen of Them Crushed into Shapeless Masses or Flesh and Bone The Other Two So BiidlT Injured That Ite-cove- iy is Impossible. Blite Mont., Nov. 4. At midnight last cight,:iwhon one shift of men at the Anconda rninc was relieving another, seventeen men were killed by the"falling of a cage and two others were fatally injured. A cage full of miners returning from work had stepped out into open air. Their places were at ouce taken by nineteen men who where to take up the work they bad just abandoned, aud the cage started toward the depths below. The rope had been unwound, but a couple of times from the slowly re-volving windlass w hen there was a sudden nap, and a , rv ,f horror from the fchatt. The rope had broken and the cage with its nineteen inmates was precipitated to the bottom of the mine. It was 6ome little time before assistance could be sent to them. A number of miners, who were through work and waiting to be relieved, were at the bottom of the shaft waiting for the cae to take them out. Amidst them, narrowly mis-sing some, the cage dashed. Little could be i.one. Of the nineteen men who made the fearful ride, seventeen were dead. Their forms were crushed out of all semblance of human beings, while the two still breathing have no hope of recovery. The Advantages of Good Road. Live Stock Indicator. The French goverment spends IS million dollars per vear on its public highways, but their horses'draw a ton and a third without trouble. Three horses take four tons of hay en mile? without turning a hair. In Bel-tgiu- Germany and Italy, w here the Toads are kept good, one horse can do as much service as three in the bad road districts of America. The great volume of internal trade in everv state is over the country road. If it is bad, often impassable, frequently in such a condition that the farmer must em-ploy four horses to pull a two horse load, the writer shows by plain figures that the far-mer loses cnough in time, extra feed, wear and tear on animals, vehicles and harness, not to mention the wear and tear on his own mind and temper, to build good roads all over the land; and save enough to keep them in prime coudition all the time. With all these facts before us it is time an organized movement, was began toward securing better country roads made in the west. BARRILLAS CHANGE OF HEART.

Advices received I from Guetamala says that where President hff arrlUas has heretofore muzzled the press rind btnisiied journalists, the most absolute litartv in writing is now allowed, and news- - ppper men are taking advantage of the op-portunity to score the government. The change of heart was occasioned by his terror that ho would be deposed before his term of office empires in December. His previous arbitrary acts have made him so unpopular tbat should he attempt to imprison another l"vrwl8li4,iP Ftio.ntifj,a "n flUVL h&Lat-.- a to go until after thelection,' Hfs mode at present is simply the only means ie can devise to hold tbe presidency until the expiration of his term.

L'pon the adjournment of the city council last night Late Mayor Packard's wrath was again visited upon Mayor Scott, whom he thrice denounced as a coward, and that it did not lead to blows is due to the course taken by the latter. The mayor had stepped down from the dais and was pushing his way to the exit when his late proxy opened his tirade on the hastening form.

Can ai.i), Nov. 4. Director-Genera- l Davis has ordered the World's fair agents from Chile. The order is inspired not so much by fear for their pcr.-ont-il safety as by the fear thrt it would be impolitic to press the subject of the World's fair appropriation while the public sentiment against the Am-ericans is running so high. Kainiaceda's government had appropriated $10,000 for an exhibit and special commissioners were try-ing' quietly to get the new government to ap-prove that appropriation. Mr. Davis says lie docs not believe there will be a war wiih Chile. If there is none, he is confident that the shrewd commercial nation will make a complete: exhibit. As soon as the row is adjusted the commissioners will return to their posts. A Sugar-make- r" Conscience.

St. Lolis. Nov. 4. The only feature of general interest in the election for school board was the charge of gross corruption, and a hot campaign was made against the old democratic board, elected last fall.

Iu this city Flower's plurity i 5S,iS57, showing a democratic fall-ing off ot more than 10,000 from the vote for Hill in 1. The assembly goes democratic by eight; although the republicans claim they have it. Returns received by the Associated press up to noon today show the democrats elect 14 senators and the republicans 14. Four districts are still in doubt, but the returns so far received indicate that the democrats will carry three of these and the republicans one. The same returns indicate that the assembly will stand 01 republicans, 64 democrats and 1 county democrat who was endorsed by the republicans. Of the democratic seats four arc still in some doubt and of the rcpub licans one. The Jfrrohl says: We are convinced the election of Flower will prove to be a sort of boomerang to the democratic party iu the presidential campaign next year, and a blcso-in- g in disguise to the republicans. Grover Cleveland today gave his opinion on the result of Tuesday's elec-tion as follows : "Anyone who still thinks tariff reform a settled and obsolete i3suc, or that the importance of sound and safe money is a question upon which the people can be blinded, is either wilfully wrong or danger-ously dull. It seems to me too the demo-crats ought to be satisfied that a staunch ad-herence to the principles of their party does not require the abuse of those who show an inclination to help us. 'I very much regret the defeat of Gov-ernor Campbell. He has been a brave and honest official. The splendid canvass he made entitled him to success. While the election of Flower, Russell aud Boies ought to cause the utmost rejoicing among the democrats, they should not forget that with these things come obligations to be true to the people, honest in the advocacy of our principles and decent in all things."
