Under these circumstances, unless the demo- crats can win by a straight vote by the people there will be mighty little show of his getting into the White House. The republicans are undoubtedly encouraged by this prospect, and feel that they may win without New York.

The loss of n single southern state would in the above contingeney probably be fatal to the democrats, even though Weaver should get forty or more voter, Mlinois and Wisconsin are put in the republi- can column in this table, though they are re- garded by the democrats as doubiful. The democrats have been counting on 75 per of the increase of vote in Chicago. This increase has been about 100,000. Should their calculations prove correct it would give them Illinois, ‘This would enable them to get along withont Indiana, Connecticut or West Virginia and Montana, Minnesota is liable to stand in the republican column, where it is placed in the above table, but the third party may get four votes there which would not be cast for Harrison under any circumstances, DEATH OF OFFICER SCOTT. The Event Announced in the Police Court by Judge Miller. This morning in the Police Court Judge Miller announced the, death of Policeman Scott, who was stricken with paralysis yesterday, and whose death followed shortly after he reached his home on Capitol Hill, “I heard, with deep regret,” said the judge, “of the taking off of an old and faithful servant, and I think it no more than right that I should announce it publicly. Tdoso not only as a mat ter of justice but also from a sense of personal duty. “He had become gray and infirm im the service and his years of conflict with the law and lawless never lessened his human kindness, The life of a policeman is an arduous one and has | a tendency to harden one, but with the deceased ofticer it is refreshing to recall the fact that his years of service could not obliterate his umanity."” The judge spoke of his many excellent quali- ties and the duty he has performed daring his long service as doorkeeper of the court, and said that his conduct would be a living monu- ment to his memory. In conclusion the judge said: “I only wish | that the comrades of the dead officer could see in his life and death the example that I do.” Mr. Mullowney, the prosecuting attorney, said he desired on partof the government toray that the court bad expressed his feelings ex- actly. He said that when he reached court in the morning he met Officer Scott as usual, and he expected to be greeted this morning as he was yesterday, but last evening he was shocked to hear of his death. This afternoon m court Mr. Clagett ap- peared and spoke feelingly of the late Officer Scott. Several years ago, he said, when he (Mr. Clagett) was clerk of the court, Officer Harbin died very sudderly and he was succeeded by Mr. Scott. He spoke of his personal intimacy with the deceased and of his sincere grief when he read in THe STAR t night of his sudden death. Mr. Clagett spoke of the many good qualities of the deceased and said that under him no prisoner had ever suffered, as he had often taken money from his own pocket and fur- nished them with something to eat, He alxo referred to the faithful duty performed by the dead ofticer when he was detailed at the more and Ohio depot. “All: I concluded, “tis that a good man bas gor Lawyer Moss followed in a tribute to the de- ceased and said he remembered him years ago, when he used to bring in hack law cases and he said he bad often heard Judge Suell say that whatever Officer Scott would say he knew was the truth. ‘Judge Miller said it was very gratifying to hear such expressions from members of the bar. ee Ss A MEMORY OF CAMP EDSON. A Gathering Last Night in Honor of Mrs. Briggs. A row of pretty lanterns last night illumi- nated the front of The Maples, the old mansion in East Washington where Mrs, Emily E. Briggs, otherwise “Olivia,” makes her home. The oc- cavion was an interesting sequel of the recent Grand Army encampment. When Farragut Post, No. 10, and a committee of citizens of East Washington were arranging for a camp- fire to entertain the large number of veterans who were tobe quartered east of the Capitol Mrs, Briggs came forward and gave up her spacious grounds and house to the committeo for the* campfire, besides doing many other things to help entertain the visitors. The Maples was christened anew for the week and was known as Camp Edson,a blue pennant that flew over the mansion being inscribed with that aan: fools ‘The grateful feeling of the committee repre- senting the G.

An Important Meeting Last Night—To Dis- Play the Election Returns. ‘The central democratic committees held » meeting at their rooms, 1429 Pennsylvania ave- nue, last mght and transacted much routine business of an important character. The mem- bers at large of the advisory committes—six in number—were unanimously elected as follows: James L. Norris, William Dickson, Lawrenco Gardner, Andrew A. Lipscomb, Henry E. Davis and John 8. Miller.

The New Leader of the United States Marine Band Arrives in Town. Prof. Francisco Fanciulli, upon whom will fall the mantle of John Phillip Sousa as leader of the band of the United States marine corps, enlisted as a vrivate this morning in the marine corps for the term of five years. His enlistment papers were then for- warded to Col. Charles Heywood, commandant of the corps, who will at once issue an order appointing Private Fanciulli leader of Uncle Sam's famous band, and tomorrow morning the new jeader will assime command. Prof. Fanciulli was seen toda: had successfully passed the medical examina- tion, which all men and boys who enlist in the marine corps must pass, and had becn sworn in by Capt, D. P. Mannix of the corps. Very naturally Prof. Fanciulli was highly elated over his success and while be said he preferred to wait until he had een officially informed of his ap- pointment as leader before stating what his lane were, he said that he could not refrain from expressing his gratification beewuse of the reat honor and the pleasure which his resi- lence in so delightful a city as Washington wouid bring him. “Mr. Sousa,” said the new leader, ‘made a wonderful ‘success of the Marine Band. and I am sure the people feel very grateful to him. I trust that I may meet such success. I have come to work hard, and shall endeavor to make the band even greater than before.” ‘The new leader was born at Port Stephen, Italy, May 29, 1853, and in personal appearance closely resembles Prof. Sousa. Prof. Fanciulli, however, is not quite as large a man us the late leader, being but 5 fect 534 inches in height and weighing but 126 pounds. He has dark brown eyes, black hair, and his beard, worn not unlike Prof. Sousa’s, is also black. He speaks with a alight foreign accent, and is s most charming conversation: ‘He is married, having married an Ameri- can Indy of German descent, and has three children, two boyw and a girl. "Prof. Fanciulli isa member of the New York Press Club, by whom he was highly recommended for appoint- ment. _— MARKSMEN TO COMPETE. ‘ational Guard Kifle Matches te Beg!
