Eugene Maas, a young man who dresses well and wears diamonds, caused the arrest last night of another young man named Herbert Haskell on a charge of assault.

THE STAR'S «SPLENDID SERVICE Biggest Crowds Ever Known on a Similar Occasion. . SOME OF THE INCIDENTS Rarely has there been such interest shown in this city in any election as was evident on all sides last night. From early in the evening until long after midnight there was a mammoth crowd along the avenue, and as the news of the republican avalanche began to come in the enthusiasm of the peo- ple knew no bounds. If there were any democrats in town they were hard indeed to find. Maybe they had all gone home to vote. In every part of the elty where the re- turns were being received there were large gatherings of men, although in every group there was a generous sprinkling of women as well. On the avenue a number of can- vas frames had been erected, and on these the returns were bulletined as fast as they came in over the wires. Three of the daily papers had made arrangements to provide the public with telegraphic information by means of stereopticons, The largest crowd was in front of The Star office, but the avenue was not near wide enough to give room to all the people who would have Nked to take advantage of the news that was spread on the big double canvas, and the other bulletins came in for their fair share of the crowd. A Good-Natured Crowd. Incidentally it ‘might be stated that a number of the places. where extracts of corn, rye and hops are dispensed had late news from the seat of war, and these places came in for their share of attention and the gentlemen with diamonds and white jackets had to work as they have not had to do since the Pythian encampment. Still there were very few signs of disorder wit- anywhere and,-as a rule, the crowds ve vent to their feelings with cries and ers that rent the air and were lost in the upper atmosphere. Bands of young men locked arms and paraded up and down the street, cheering for everything and every- body rdless of consequence, The en- thusiasm, however, was not as dense as it might have been, for within an hour or two of the time the bulletins began to come in It became evident that everything was going one way, and all that kept the crowds was a desire to hear fuller returns and to see how big a majority the victors would be able to run up. The two extras that The tar issued went off like hot cakes and brought the tidings of republican success into every section of the city within a very few minutes of the time the result was known down n. It was long after 2 o'clock when The Star stopped printing bulletins, but there was still a big crowd on hand, and there would have been any num- ber of people ready to stay on till daylight if there had been anything more to learn, In Front of The Star Office. Last evening as a Star reporter boarded an avenue car, headed for the republican headquarters on Capitol Hill, and the car began to push its way slowly through the Immense crowd that blocked the street in front of The Star office, an elderly colored gentleman, who seemed very much inter- ested in all that was going on about him, leaned forward ané spoke to the newspaper ma “Say boss, what's all this trouble about, anyway? I been seein’ a crowd of people all along the street, and they sut'nly is raising a hull tot o‘ rumpus about some- thing.” “Why, It's an election, and the crowd is watehing the returns.” “How foolish of me! I might have known. it say, what's the ‘lection all about, any- The answer, if one had been possible, would have been swallowed up in an im- mense cheer, for the car was just emerging from the crowd, where thousands of people were feasting thelr eyes on the latest bulle- tins, which told which way the battle was going. And what a crowd it was, to be sure! There were thousands of people packed into one solid mass, which stretched from the sidewalk in front of The Star office clear across to the fence that surrounds the em- bryo post office. Two years ago it was es- timated that as many as 5,000 people took advantage of The Stars bulletins to learn the latest from the seat of war in the pres- idential election which swept Mr. Cleveland into the White Houre. There were easily twice as many people on hand last night, and interest was at fever heat all the time from the moment when the first bulletins were spread on the canvas until the hour came for shutting up, when there was nothing more that was worth the telling. When the news of republican successes be- gan to come in many a cheer went up, but it was not long before the people got tired of shouting. Everything was coming their way. A Republican Crowd. Their way? Yes; for to the careful ob- server It was evident that the crowd was republican to the backbone, There was more than one way of proving this to be ar reporter had been out scurrying 2 town, and had had Uttle chance to observe the tastes and feelings of the mul- titude that was assembled in front of the building. In the front room everything was turned upside down for the time being to make room for the stereopticons, the tel- egraph tickers and the penmen who were busy bulletining the latest telegrams from all parts of the country as they came over the wires. “What sort of a crowd is it?” asked The Star man Pa ee one of the si “" ao. ait a Oh! What a Night. an outline cartoon. It represented Mr. Hill falling through the air from a collapsed balloon, Far below were the monument and the Capitol. It was entitled “A Busted Boom.” Cartoons in a Flash, As the news arrived it was illustrated by a corps of Star artists, who made rough and ready cartoons, hastily sketched on gelatine films, and flashed out upon the screens almost as quickly as the news that suggested them. Some of these cartoons made at a moment's notice are reproduced in The Star today. A Dense Crowd. When this was tried on the crawd it worked like a charm and was a spark to the combustible material of their enthusi- asm. Small boys danced a hornpipe or double shuffle, if they had room, grown men cheered until they were hoarse, and hats were tossed in the air. In the crowd there was a noticeable num- ber of women, and they were as much in- terested in the returns as were their hus- bands, brothers, or other girls’ brothers, as the case might be. Every once in a while there would be a feminine cheer. Take it all in all it was a well-behaved crowd, and the policemen who were present in large numbers had-little to do beyond reading the returns. The crowd was so derse that it was all the poor gripmen could do to get their cars through at all. Men with signal lanterns went ahead to clear the crowd away, and A Cola the cars were compelled to go through at little better than a snail’y pace. The herdics and other vehicles of all sorts were compelled to wait and drop in behind the cable cars before they could, get through the crowd. The Star's Service. ‘There were many words of praise for the satisfactory way in which The Star pre- sented the news. And really po such elab- orate arrangements had-ever before been made in this city to give tle public the latest and fullest retumms fn anything like such completeness. Instead of one, as here- tofore, there were two. stercorticons at work all the time, so that there was no de- lay in getting the bulletins before the eyes of the crowd. It required two screens as well, but they were so large and the bulletins so plainly and legibly written, that they were easily read at any distance, and everyone could see what was going on no matter how far he might be from the canvas. Up till 10 o'clock the crowd kept increasing steadily, and the streets were crowded until a late hour with cheering ard marching men. It was a night that will not be scon forgotten by those who were wise enough to come down and take advantege of The Star's in- vitation to be on hand and learn how the electioh was going. THE DOWN TOWN HOTELS. is Received Where Democrats Mostly Gathered. The fact that the majority of the habitues of the down-town hotels are of the demo- cratic persuasion probably explains the How the News W “Jerry is Beaten Out of His Socks.” lack of enthusiasm in the crowds that heard the election returns at the St. James, National and Metropolitan Hotels last night. Drivec’s was the rendezvous of the sportively inclined in that section of the city, ard the throng that gathered there included many ‘race men and bookmakers. ‘These latter became very blue and down- cast wken it became manifest that the re- publicans had swept New York, and car- ried the amendment to the constitution which prohibits pool selling and bookmak- ing in that state for the next twenty years at least. Th2 probability of republican suc- cess in New York was indicated in the early returns, and bets of $200 to $70 were freety offered on Morton, with no takers. By 8 o'clock the odds had increased to $100 to $5, and soon after reached $100 to $1 agairst Hill, and even at that he found no backers. The result in New York and else- where was evidently not to the liking of the crowd, for it thinned out rapidly, and by the time The Star extra appeared show- ing republican victcries in all sections there were only a few of the unterrified left. These decided to wait for later bul- letins in the hope of getting a morsel of comfort out of the news from the southern states. The general drift of the crowd on the streets cast of 7th street was toward the west until The Star otilce was reached, where the great throng centered. There political news was dealt out with a lavish hand in a manner beyond criticism, and the people in search of information found it a pleasant place to linger. gee Real Estate Transfers.

GENERAL LATE TELEGRAMS CHICAGO, November 7.—The attempt by @ gang of toughs to steal a ballot box at 117 in murder, Gus, Colleander, the judge of the election who was shot in the abdomen, died some hours later. He was a saloon keeper. The police think that they have one of the party who did the shooting. At the Emergency Hospital is a man with two bullet wounds, one in the thigh and one near the heart. He was brought in early this morning, and, as he was unable to give an account of himseff, he was immediately suspected. His name is withheld by the police. J. F. Waters, who was shot in the arm, is well enough to finish counting the ballots. Contrary to first reports, none of the men wore masks. BEATEN BY ITALIANS. Angry Termination of Election Re- Joicings in Chicago. CHICAGO, November 7.—Two hundred Italians, members of the Italtan Republl- can Club, contrived to make things inter- esting for four officers of the Desplaines street police station early this morning. The club got out its barners end hired sev- eral bands of music and started down Hal- sted street to celebrate the close of election day. They were in a state of great jubila- tion over the gains the republicans made at the polls, and many of them had been drinking. Several were armed with re- volvers, which they fired in the air as they arched along. The crowds along the reets through which they hooted and jeered them, and the Italians returned the salutations in kind. At Madison street they turned east on that thoroughfare. Jchn Dempsey was standing on the si@ewalk. He shouted: “See the dagoes!”" A stalwart Italian saw Dempsey and started for him. A crowd of the marchers followed the leader, and Dempsey was soon running down Madison street at the top of his speed, followed by a crowd of hooting liars. He turned into Canal street, but at Monroe street was caught by the crowd and severely beaten. fhe Desplaines street patrol wagon, with Ofticers McWitlams and O'Day on board, came to Denipsey’s rescue. They succeeded in driving back the crowd and putting Dempsey into the wagen. The crowd then closed in about the officers, and it looked serious for them for a moment. They drew their revolvers and kept the crowd at bay by firing several shots in the air. Two other cflicers came to their assistance, suc- ceedit g in dispersing the crowd, twelve of whom were arrested and locked up at the Desplaines street station. There was the greatest excitement in the vicinity of Madison and Canal streets for a time. Dempsey was severely but not dangercusly injured. —_— SEIZED BY JAPANESE. American Passengers Taken From a French Steamer. YOKOHAMA, November 7.—The Amer can passengers who were made prisone, at Kobe by tho Japanese who seized the French steamship Sydney, from Marseilles for this port, on suspicion that she had contraband of war on board, transhipped from the British steamship Gaelic, from San Francisco, are Messrs. Howie and Browne, and the Chinese passenger is Cham Tam Moore. It is stated that the latter was recently interpreter to the Chi- nese legation at Washington. * The commander of the Sydney was in- formed that if he gave up his passengers he might proceed. He refused to do so, and a strong force of armed Japanese marines was sent on board the steamship. In spite of the protest of the captain and the French consul, the Japanese seized the pas- sengers mentioned and conveyed them as prisoners on board a Japanese warship. ——__— THE CZAR'S PATRIOTISM. w Devote All His Powers to His Country's Service. ST.. PETERSBURG, November 7.—The czar is showing great activity in answering the many telegrams of condolence and ex- pressions of loyalty which he receives, and the impression prevails that he is trying to demonstrate the fact that he 1s courteous and genial and that Russia is extremely loyal. Replying to a message of sympathy and loyalty from the nobles of Moscow, the czar sald: “In union with you I shall find strength to fulfill the arduous duty which has de- volved upon me so early, and I shail devote all my powers to the service of my dear country.” WHAT LONDON PAPERS SAY, Samples of Misinformation Regard- ing American Affairs, LONDON, November 7.—The merchants of Great Britain, wio may be affected by a change in the United States tariff, form the class which takes te greatest interest in American elections. But they are unable to obtain any definite idea of the political situ- ation owing to the many absurd mistakes made on the subject by the Engiish news- papers. The Star, for instance, says that it is “definitely known that Congress will con- sist of ten republicans, 133 democrats and thirteen populists.” ‘The Globe says, referring to the defeat of Tammany: “It was a particularly obnoxious form of despotism. ‘The defeat of Tamma- pny is a good sign that they are gradually progressing toward freedom, and perhaps some day they may arrive at real self gov- ernment.” The St. James Gazette uses the defeat of Tammany as the text of a sermon with which it warns Londoners of several in- stances having lately been revealed that the county councillors were quite as bad as Tammany men. The St. Jaines Gazette, however, says: “It ig a far cry from Tammany Hall’ to Spring Gardens, apd we do not suggest that there is any sort of resemblance between the Tammanyites and the county councillors. But it is desirable to check the faintest be- ginnings which might lead to similar job- bery here.” ——._ — JAPAN WANTS A “BUFFER.” Discussing Terms of Ending the East- ern War. LONDON, November 7.—A dispatch to the Standard from Berlin says it is under- stood that Jupan will insist upon the crea- tion of a buffer state between China and Corea. PARIS, November 7.—It is stated that M. Hanatoux, minister of foreign affairs, has informed the Chinese minister that France will act in connection with the other powers to bring about a peace between China and Japan, but that she will not take the in- itlative in the mediation. LONDON, November 7.—The Telegraph says that Japan will demand as the terms of peace the cession to her of the Island of Formosa and the payment of an indemnity of thirty or forty million pounds sterling. —_—____.

MANICURE .. WANTED (Help)... WANTED (Miscellaneous). FELL FROM A SCAFFOLD Two Painters Precipitated About Forty Feet to the Pavement. One Dies Within Fifteen Minutes After Reaching the Hospital—The Other Will Probably Die. The death of cne man, and probably that of another, was the result of the fall of a painter's sceffuld, which occurred about 9:30 o'clock this mornirg. W. J. Thecker, James A. O’Brien, George F, McGee and G. W. Glasgow, all white men, were engaged in painting the froat of house 1812 I street northwest. The house is at present vacant, the owner being in Europe. The painters had erected a scaffold made of two ladders tied together at the inrer ends and sus- pended from the roof of the building by three wooden joists. The scaffold had been in use for four or five days. The men were busily employed this morn- ing painting, about thirty-eight feet from the pavemert. An anin.ated conversation regarding yesterday's elections was in prog- ress, Which somewhat distracted the atten- tion of the workers from their insecure po- sition. Thecker and O’Brien gradually worked ‘oward each other, and approach- ing close to the center of the scaffold, their combined weight proved too great for the center joist, which gave way, ard a mo- ment later the rope which joined the lad- ders parted. O'Brien, seeing the danger, uttered a warning cry to his compantons. ee hastily grasped the joist near which he was wor reached the roof and then hastened acress the same and assisted Glasgow to a place of safety. In the mean- time, however, Thecker and O’Brien were precipitated to the pavement, as were the buckets of paint and the other parapher- nalia which had been on the scaffold. Died in Fifteen Minutes. When assistance reached the scene the men who had fallen were unconscious. They were taken to the Emergency Hospital in the third precinct patrol wagon. Thecker was found to be suffering from internal in- juries and he died within fifteen minutes after being placed on the operating table. O’Brien had sustained a fracture at the base of the skull and he was put to bed. The physicians at the hospital were of the opinion that O'Brien could not live more than a few hours. Both men presented a ghastly appearance, being besmeared from head ¢o foot with red paint. Thecker was. twenty-six years of age and lived at 442 Q street with his aged mother and his sister, who depended upon him for their support. He was unmarried. O'Brien, whose home is at 3407 O street, is thirty- nine years of age. He has a wife and one child, a boy, about seven years. He had another child, which was run over by a beer delivery wagon and Killed on 25th street about one year ago. Mrs. O'Brien was noti- fled of the accident, and she hurried to the bedside of her husband at the hospital, where she wept in a pathetic manner. Mc- Gee and Glasgow and several others also visited the hospital. Coroner Hammett viewed the remains of Thecker, and, after learning the particulars of the accident, decided that an inquest was unnecessary. ES eras HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. A Rise in the Death Rate, but Not Above the Annual Normal. The decline in the mortality of the city during the week before last was followed by a svdden rise last week. The death rate, however, did ret exceed that of the annual normal, The chief causes of this increase were those of brain and lung dis- eases und an abnormally large number of deaths of children under five years of age.
