How the Elecuon New Here, DISCOURAGED REPUBLICANS AND EXUBERANT DEMO- CRATS. It was after midnight last night before the crowds which early besleged the newspaper offices and newspaper row went home fully satisfied that claimed by the democrats of Ohio was rea Early In the evening the rooms of the republican congressional campalgn committee iged by those anxlous to hear the ne but strange enough Secretary Henderson did not ive a single telegram from Ohio, save one from Was Received nouncing his own election and closing with a dis- couraging report for the republicans th the state. Before nine o'clock Secretary Henderson aban- doned his official headquarters and sought the privacy of his own room, receiving at intervals the dispatches sent the ‘correspondents of the Cincinnat! newspapers. The general comment among the republicans over the result was that the Germans held the balance of power in Ohio, and owing to the action of the last republfcan legislature, which they deemed af- fected their personal liberty, had almost in a body voted the democratic ticket. Of course the resuit Was & mortifying surprise to the republicans, but | there were not a few who took the view that the defeat in Ohio would tend to strengthen the line in New York and overcome the present defection. ‘The democrats are of course jubilant. They have had to under so many political dis- appointments that {t 1s not to be wondered at they Were a little exultant last night and mighty cheer- ful to-day. The more enthusiastic ones predict that the “grand old republican party will go to the demition bow wow,” and that the democratic mellenium fs not now afar off. A good-natured republican gave {t as his opinion that the republican defeat could be ascribed to the comet, because comets were always the forerunners of great calamities. ee ‘Whe Alleged Conspiracy against Chief Irish.

Beecher’s Withdrawal. From the New York Tribune. The withdrawal of Mr. Beecher from the Asso- clation of Cougregational churches, with which he lias so long been connected, willgause sorrow rather than surprise among many of his old friends. It has long been known that the pastor of Plymouth church cared little for the distinc tions between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, and he has the courage of his Convictions. Even’ his ene- mies tnust respect Mr. Beecher for the step he has taken, He does not wish that sny han or asso- clation of men shall be responsible for his views. ‘The potnts on which Mr. Beecher differs from nis brethren touch the atonement and future puntsh- ment. His theory of the former is the moral in- fluence theory. He cannot think that punishment after death {$ endless. Mr. Beecher’s withdrawal Will not spread so much consternation among many orthodox bellevers as the condition of things which his action has disclosed. There Was a strong feeling expressed in the association that the Plymouth chure h preacher’s views were not so different from those held by many mem- bers as to make his withdrawal necessary. —____<<>______ TOOK THE BREAD TO.SETTLE His ACCOUNT.—A young man named Jos. Stinsinger, was charged In the Police Court yesterday by his employer, Lewis Luckie, with stealing 240 loaves of bread trom him. The testimony showed that the defendant Was employed asa baker, and that he and his employer had some trouble about money matters; and that Monday the young man took out a load of bread as usual, but failed to make any return to his employer.’ The court told the defendant that he would give him until Saturday to straighten his accounts. The price of the bread was paid to the complainant before the court ad- Journed, and the case was dismissed. FATAR ENCOUNTER IN THE DARK WITH BURGLARS. At Toledo, Ohio, at an early hour Monday morn- ing three inasked bara as entered the residence of Mr. James Fitzgerald. He met them, armed with a pistol, in one of the rooms on the first floor of the house. The burglars fired on him.

One burglars was also wounded.

A Jealous Husband Cuts His Wife's Throat. About § o'clock this morning the netghborhood of 434 and F streets @outhwest was startled by one of the most horrible apd deliberate murders ever perpetrated in this city. Frank Minor, a colored er dealer, about thirty years old, residing at 323 F street southwest, murdered his wife, Victoria Minor, by cutting her throat with a razor in the same Way that Stone killed his wife a few years ago. Mrs. Minor and her husband have been lv- ing very unhappily together for some time, the trouble being JEALOUSY ON THE PART OF THE HUSBAND. ‘Mrs. Minor had threatened to leave hin on sev- eral occasioas, and it is sald he threatened that before she should leave him he would kill her. For several months she has been leaving her home and staying away a day or two ata time. Always on her return home a fight would ensue between her and her husband. Minor resided at the house mentioned with his wife and his mother and her children. Minor cut the throat of his wite several times with a razor, almost ing her head from her body. Theré Was no attempt on the part of Minor to escape after committing the act. He immediately walked down to the corner on his way to the station to give himself up, but returned, and to the crowd of colored women’ attracted by'the cries of Minor’s mother he said, “Women, this tsa fair warning to you women. You see what running around with inen has caused.” MINOR ARRESTED. Sergeant Pierce then came up and took him to the first precinct station house on E street, where he was locked up. Minor ts nearly &% years of age, and has heretofore borne a good reputation, This 1s the first time the police have ever had him in custody. He 1s a laborer, driving a hors: and cart of his own,and recently has been engaged in haul- ing sand. “This morning he was engaged in his usual occupation, but on account of the trouble between himself and wife, after hauling one load Of sand to the corner of 9th and K streets north- west, lie returned to the house, intending to go to Baluiinore tor a few days. While at the house he objected to his wife moving and committed the act. WHERE THE CRIME WAS COMMITTED. The crime was committed in the back second story room, occupled by Minor and his wife. When the coroner, Dr. Patterson, visited the room a large bundle of bed clothing was found on the ficor with blood upon it and large puddles of blood were in several parts of the room. The dead body lay on the floor. ‘The victim wag rather a comely colored woman about 23 years old and was ratsed from infancy by Minor’s mother, about six miles below Fredericksburg, Va. Her head was altost entirely SEVERED FROM THE BODY, the windpipe being laid bare in front and spine at the back, while there were large gashes in and about the face and head, there being over a dozen wounds, many penetrating the bone, Almost any one of them would have caused death. ‘There were no witnesses to the commencement of the murderous assault. Minor’s mother and his sister Emma were voth down statrs at the Ume. When they heard the seream they rushed up to the room and found him holding ils wite by one arm and cutting her with the razor, which the mather at- tempted to take away from ‘him. THE CAUSE OF THE MURDER. They stated that Frank Was a man of jealous disposition and hts wife was a good woman, and he had no just cause to be Jealous of her; that they have been quarreling for some months, and that some time ago she left him and went to live on 41 street, but she was persuaded to return to him; that this morning she commeneed to move her things and had a wagon at the door. The Prisoner's Story. The prisoner was found by a reporter of THE STAK in the cell at the police station, leaning against the bars, He was attired in gray panta- loons and a white shirt, on the #leeve and bosom of Which blood was seen In splowhes, He re- marked, when an officer sald he was sorry for him, that he had many friends, but he supposed he would have to take the consequences of his act. When asked as to the cause of it he said he would tell all, apd remarked that a man named Adolphus Johnson, who 1s called Dr. Johnson,used tocome to his house, first to have his washing done by his (the prisoner's) wife and finally he got so Intimade that he would come to the house and lle down and go to sleep in the front room. He (the prisouery objected to tus and told 1s wife several times that she must stop washing for Johnson and keep him from coming there. Oue night he (the prisoner) was siék, and when he gol up to go ut he met his wife going up stairs and he thought it strange that she should go to bed as he was going out, He then told her that she must leave off Washing for Johuson and she sald she would do nothing of the kind, aud the resuit was that he slapped her in the mouth and she Went to her uncle’s house, after this she came back to him, and sometimes they would get to quarreling and she sald she was Ured of his fool- IShness and Was going to leave him. ‘This morn. ing he got up and eab his breakfast and while she was packing up the dishes he asked her what she Ws wolng to do and she sald. she was golng to leave, to which he replied by asking her not to leave him, 5 He, however, went to work and hauled one load of sand to 9th and K streets, but could not work, and he thought that he would go to Baltimore for a few days, and, returning to the house, he pro- ceeded to get ready. His wife then had all the things packed. He and his mother both asked her not to go away, and when the wagoncame he hud some words with her, when she started to get 4 Warrant for him, but he'told his mother to call her back to take the things, and she caine back, Shé then was sitting in a chair near the door, and I took the razor and walked up to her when her side was turned toward me and cut her. “Cut her throat from ear to ear,” sald the re- “Yes, replied he, “I dia it. I determined to finish her. ' T suppose I will have to take the con- sequences.” THE WEAPON. ‘The rozor with which the deed was done was this morning in good order for shaving, but after the use made of tt the nicks made in it converted it Into a passable saw. THE DECEASED WOMAN, whose maiden name was Victoria Mount, was, as stated before, a native of Virginia, and was in the twenty-fourth year of her age. She was a mem- ber of Jerusalem Lodge, No. 36,of the Order of Sons and Daughters of Samaria, who will take charge of the body after the Inquest. THE PRISONER. Minor fs a stout bullt man.

She carried a basket in which were about one thousand cigar-stumps Which she had collected from 4 o’olock a.m. Officer Young asked the girl what she did with them. She sald-that {t was her dally habit to goon a tour at daylight, and the “butts” she collected were dried and sold for 10 cents a pound to persons who used them in the manufacture of cigarettes, In the Essex Market court, where she was taken, she described herself as Rosa Igalini, nine years, of No. 3 Jersey street.

But if it should be deemed impracticable for one or more of them tw send delegates, then to authorize the a) ment of substitutes chosen from smong U! zens of such state now residing in Washin, who are now, or may have been heretofoi bers in good ‘standing of a labor organization, to represent the several districts In said central com- mittee on naUonal legislation, And the state in- clubs 80 organized shall be requir , counsel and advise with th delegates’ of their respective states, and render such aid and influence as may be in their power.

In urging the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. Kenaday, president of the federation, took occa- | son to say that the worst obstacle to success In the labor moyement 1s the apathy and Indiffer- ence of a few who give nelther ume nor means to the cause, but growl incessantly at what others with praiseworthy zeal are striving todo. The workmen of this city have assumed a heavy task, itis true; but with earnest and united efforts it can be made a success, and their standing among the labor unions of the country will, in point of intelligence and zeal, be above par. But if they shirk the duty devolving on them, and the conse- quent honors, they will be simply throwing away achance that the workingmen of any otuer city would highly prize. The plan adopted by the federation has been accepted as the most prac- tical method of arriving ata national expression of the wishes of working men by the chairman of the Senate committee, Mr. Blatr, of New Hamp- shire, and {t has also heen endorsed by the Na- tional Brotherhood of Carpenters, in convention; by the president of the National Bricklayers; the grand secretary of the Knights of Labor, and the leading lubor journals of the country. “The con- vention of International Trade Unions, which meets at Cleveland on the 15th of November, also make special reference to the importance of this subject in their circular recentiy issued. He hoped every trade unionist in this city would ap- preclate the importance of earnest .and united action between now and the meeting of Congress, when the case would be submitted to the law- making power of the natéon Tor defnite action.

From the New York Tribune. The outcome of the election tn Ohio cannot be known for several days. The canvass has been made largely on temperance questions, and both | parties have been much in the dark as to the | probable effects of the new issues upon the voters. The republicans, while hopeful, have all along | feared adverse results, so many uncertainties hav= ing entered into their work. ‘The dispatches upto a late hour last nizht indicated a smali democratic majority on the state ticket and a probable repub- lean 1088 of some Congressmen. The first news, however, is likely to be the most unfavorable, the earliest returns come from the clues, Wi theeum element ts strongest. Not a Stalwart and Anti-Stalware Fight. From the New York Sun. In the republican party of Outo there is no open | exhibition of the strife seen in several other states between the stalwart and antl-stalwart Tactions nor {s the democracy of the state distracted by face tonsleaders. ‘The temperance question, however, has been hotly contested as a state Issue during the campaign, many republican yoters, especially | German-American — voters, having become gusted with the attitude of their party in the state toward It, and taken sides with the demo cracy. | Bungling With the Liquor Question, | From the New York Times. |_ The result will no doubt be attributed to the Uquor agitation, which appears to have worked in the undiscriminating way that was to be anticl- pated, Probably the illogical and wrong-headed conduct of the prohibitionists in putting up can idates for Congress in some of the districts will account for a oe of the republican losses IG would be dificult for them to point out what has been gained for their “cause” by the election of democrats to Congress. But, on the whole, republicans will have to accept responsibility | the ‘consequences of the bungling way in they have dealt with the lquor question. The Ohio Breweries Not to be Close@ Just Yet. From the New York Herald. ‘The Ohio election returns, so far as reported, in- dicate a democratic majority for the state ticket, and many changes, puzling to any one outside of , Ohio, in Congressmen and local officers, It quite safe to say that never before in any state were so many names scratched and tickets altered, as in Ohio yesterday. Personal interests and ical principles were placed In opposition by every one of the numerous “regular” tickets, it was a bad day for candidates who expected be carried along by the company in which their names appeared. One thing seems certain, how- ever—the distilleries and breweries in Oalo are not to be closed Just yet by public vote, and of this the defeated party is* probably about’ as glad as the victors. Indicates a Repu 5g Rout in Noveme Te From the New York World. The democratic gains have not been confined to | the cities where the offended Germans muster most of thelr strength. They roll in impartially from the rural regions also with a force and Volume which attest most eloquently the breadth and depth of the general dissatisfaction with republican rule, both local and national. It may be taken as certain that this sweepl ictory upon the western skirmish line In October is but the prelude to a republican rout when *the main coluinns clash together in New York, Indiana an@ Pennsylvania next month, Ohio Will Be All Right in 1SS4, From the Philadelphia Press, ‘The republicans of Ohio have been beaten on local issues, uot on thelr republicanism, which is as strong in that state to-day as when it gave Gare field more than 34,000 plurality. The votes are sUIL there to support the republican party when the battle shall be renewed, as {t will be in 1884, on national issues, In the next and greater came paign, which begins-in Ohio from to-day, there will be neither the distraction of a purely local issue nor the Gisorganizing contention of clashes ing ambitions within the republican ranks. "hie unhappy result in Obio 1s a lesson to the republicans of Pennsylvania. rom the Philadelphia Times. It fs not a democratic victory in Ohio so muchas a republican defeat, but a republican defeat inone of the most reliable republican states, with no or= ganized revolt within the party, clearly forecasts a sweeping tide of republican disaster in all the debatable states in November.
