The Glorious News from Maine.
Lewiston, September 11.—The
Journal publishes returns from over
200 towns on the prohibitory con-
stitutional amendment which give
49,444 in favor, and 19,155 against
the amendment. The majority will
be increased to 40,000 by the returns
yet to come.
Augusta,- September 11.—The fol-
lowing dispatdi was forwarded from
here to-day to John A. Logan, Chi-
cago : Returns from remote parts of
the state increase our majority be-
yond all expectation. In 358 towns
the republican majority over Red-
man exceeds 18,0000, and the pros-
pect is that by the complete returns
the majority may reach 19,000. It
may be the largest ever given in the
history of the republican party of
Maine, with two exceptions at the
close of "the war. The latest returns
show that the republicans have car-
ried every county in the state and
elected every member of the state
senate. The magnitude of the re-
publican vote is a surprise to both
parties and shows that a large num-
ber of democrats joined our ranks.

New York, September 11.—A
number of people are prostrated by
heat. It is impossible to learn how
many deaths have occurred in the
hospitals from heat. Street car
officials state that should the weath-
er continue the same one more day
the lines here will have to be sus-
pended.
. This morning at 9 o'clock, the
thermometer registered 84; at 10,
86; at noon, 90; at 1, 93. It is the
hottest day of the year. No air is
stirring in the streets, the few who
have ventured outside are compelled
to seek the shade, and those in the
car service have suffered terribly,
large numbers being prostrated. A
large number of deaths will proba-
bly be contained in to-night's rec-
ord. Signal officers report the heat
general in the east, and offer slight
encouragement for to-morrow. At
Belleville hospital fourpersons have
been brought in suffering from pros-
tration. Nine died during the night.
There is a large increased mortal-
ity.
Three o'clock this afternoon five
cases of sunstrike are just reported
from headquarters.

tion.

New Brunswick, N. J., Septem-

The Marked Affect of Advice.
Jim Webster is an Austin colored
man who is very much addicted to
insobriety. His spiritual adviser,
the Rev. Aminidab Bledso, at the
request of Jim's wife, had a long
talk with him on delirium tremens
and kindred topics.
Meeting her the next day, the col-
ored prelate asked.
'•Has yer observed any improve-
ment in Jim sence I talked wid
him."
"Inde6d I has. He has changed
his bad habit mighty sence you
talked wid him, Parson Bledio."
"Praise de Lawd! I'se glad to
hear you say so. He don't come
drunk ho moah at 12 o'clock in de
night?".
"No, indeed he doesn't. He comes
home drunk before 9 o'clock ebery
ebening sence you talked wid him."
Why li the letter, R like the face of
Hamlet's father? Because It's "more In
sorrrow than In an#«r.

SAN ANTONIO ST., EL PASO, TEX.
Before and After.
Before the Maine election the
democrats agreed that if the repub-
lican majority should reach 10,000,
that it would be a gain to the re-
publicans, and a discouragement to
the democrats. Now that the ma-
jority closely crowds 20,000 the dem-
ocrats claim,that that majority is no
cause of rejoicing, because, they
say, it ought to have gone above
that figure. It is a fortunate thing
to be able to draw comfort from the
most distressing circumstances,
The following states will be
enough to elect Blaine by one ma-
jority: California, Colorado, Con-
necticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Penn-
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont
and Wisconsin. Ho will carry
every one of these states without a
doubt, to say nothing of New York
and New Jersey. Then, if a fair
election can be secured, there is a
good fighting chance of Virginia,
West Virginia and Florida.
18(56 1 Majority.
Augusta, September 11.—Three
hundred and fifty-eight towns give
Robie 79,879, Redman 51,217. The
complete official returns will not be
in for some days.
Might Hare Been Serious.
Pittsburg, September 11.—This
evening a passenger train on the
Pittsburg, Chicago k St. Louis rail-
way which was standing on the sid-
ing at the south end of the Mon-
onghela river bridge was struck by
a lreight which was being switched
on the same track. The middle
passenger car was thrown over the
side and hung over a forty foot
stationary wall, which held up the
siding. There were twenty-five pas-
sengers in the car but all escaped
without serious injury.

Supreme Happiness.
As we came from the postoffice
we saw a negro man with a large
watermelon under his arm, a large
piece of melon in his hand from
which he was eating; that condition
alone would guarantee a darky's
happiness, but in addition to .that
he was feasting his eyes on the big
circus show bills.
