Roosevelt was elected governor by a plurality of 21,286 over Judge Van Wyck. The re- sult on congressmen was a surprise, even to the Democrats themselves. Nineteen of their candidates were elected, the Republicans getting but fifteen. This is a gain of thirteen.

Chairman Babcock, of the Republi- can congressional committee says: “We have received confirmatory in- formation from every district in the United States. This shows that the Republicans will certainly have thir- teen majority, and perhaps more than that, over the combined opposition in the next house of representatives. Any change which subsequent reports may make will be in the direction of in- creasing Our majority. The straight- out Republican strength will be 185.” Word has been received at head- quarters that in the Second California and Twelfth Texas districts, which were considered doubtful, the Demo- cratic nominees have been elected. Chairman Babcock has received in- formation indicating that the Repub- lican nominees in the Tenth Ken- tucky, Ninth North Carolina and Ninth Virginia will contest the election of their Democratic opponents, and that George .H. Higgins, the Republican | nominee in the Twenty-sixth Pennsyl- vania, will demand a recount of the ofticial vote which gave the election to | his Democratie competitor. ‘S IN INDIA. A Brahmin Who Is the Worker of Seeming Miracles. | Madras Weekly Mail: The following extraordinary narration of facts as they | oceurred, and which, we are informed, were witnessed and can be testified to by the members of three households occupy- | ing a large house in Bentinck. street, Cal- cutta, are so remarkable that it is worth the while of any scientist to test them personally, as this can be easily done on the occasion of any theft by domestics in a house. It may be added that every servant in Calcutta is a lively believer in its efficacy, and, if a thief, at once confesses. A Brahmin is the worker of these marvels. He is well known in Cal- | cutta, and does not profess to work out his method of theft detection for, money, | but leaves it to those who employ him to | reward him if they think fit. It is said | | TRAPPING THIE that this is readily done, and that he makes a good thing out of it. A cook in the service of a family in the locality alluded to intrusted his nephew | with a large sum of money to keep in de- | posit. ‘The nephew alleged that he placed the money in an earthen pot, which he buried. ‘The location of the exact spot was confided to a friend. Shortly after this the cook was informed by his nephew that the pot and money had disappeared. With the nephew's consent the Brahmin was summoned to discover the thief, and | the following is a bare narration of the | extraordinary procedure he adopted, and | usually adopts, in all such cases. Ac- | companied by an aid, he comes to the house, provided with two bamboo rods about sixteen feet long and an inch and a half in diameter. He also has with him | a number of fresh peepul leaves, a cocoa- | nut, some rice and some vermilion and sowries. A fresh earthen dish has to be ; | provided by the person who summons him, as well as a stool. ‘All the servants in the house are sum- moned. They are made to stand in a half- circle, and their names are written on | | each leaf, and these leaves, with one | painted with the vermilion, are placed | in the’ dish, which in its turn is placed pen the stool. Two utter strangers are | then made to hold the bamboo rods, one in each hand, opposite each other, with | their elbows far behind their hips, so that hey can have little or no influence in | turning or bending the rods. Now comes the strange part of the proceedings. At the Brahmin’s call of each name the bam- boo rods in the first instance rise together and form a semi-circle above. They then bend, and, forming a semi-circle below, gradually come together, pick up the leaf containing the name called out and throw it out of the dish. This strange process is repeated until the name of the thief, as | alleged, is called, when they both seize the leaf, lift it up, and only disengage at the call of the Brahmin, who entreats the rods to let the leaf go. To all ap- pearances the two men who hold the rods make no effort whatever. i The thing is done in such an extraordi- nary fashion as to exceed belief. In fact, a reasonable human being cannot believe it till he has witnessed. it, and when he has done so his amazement is all the greater. Here is, indeed, a marvel for | the scientist to puzzle over. The two rods bend, come together and seize upon the right names as they are called out, and then throw them aside exccpt in the case of the thief. In this instance the nephew confessed to the theft, and a number of his relatives who had come from up-country to witness the ordeal made restitution. | Poker Joke.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 13. — The Buifalo express on the Lehigh Valley railroad ran into the New York and Philadelphia express, going east on . Wilkesbarre mountain at 3 o’clock in the morning. ‘The train going east, which was composed of an express car, combination baggage, day coach and three sleepers, had the right of Way on a single track. The Buffalo express, in charge of Engineer Rohb- ling, had orders to stop on the moun- tain and let the New York express pass. As Rohbling approached the siding he discovered that the air brakes would not work. The train was moving about thirty miles an hour down grade. The engineer whistled frantically for the hand brakes. He knew the other train was about due. He reversed his engine and stuck to his post, but could not avert the collis- ion. In less than a minute the ex- Press from the west, drawn by two heavy engines, hove in sight. A ter- rible crash followed on a curye in a deep cut. Five men were killed and four injured.

A homeless Pole named Schneider was given a night’s lodging in the bake house and he mur- dered the baker’s German assistant, throwing him inside the oven.
