A fatal accident befell a couple of city lads Sunday afternoon, whereby John McGrevy, aged 16, met instant death and Alfred O’Brien had his head injured and is in a precarious condition. The particu lars are as follow s: Sunday afternoons a crowd of boys usually congregate about the Ontario and Western railroad. Sunday they took an old hand car that had lately come down the road for repairs and went out on the mam track with it. They worked it until they reached Sand’s Station, about a mile from town, where there is quite a grade going north, and then let it go of its own accord. It became tame fun after a few times, so at the suggestion o f some one in the party a stone was put on the track about half way down the hill, so that when they struck it the car would jump and give them a good bounce. Thirteen of them crowded on the Inland car and started off. When the stone was encountered the car jumped from the track down the embankment. John Foley aged fourteen years, who is better known as John McGrevey, was instantly killed by being struck on the temple and in the chest. His arm was also broken. Alfred O’Brien, aged thirteen, was dashed against the ground and has bad injuries about the The rest of the boys escaped and all but one, John James Sheran, son of Alderman Sheran, ran away leaving their dead and injured companions. Young Sheran, who is hut 13 years of age, did what he could for the injured boy O’Brien, who is his cousin, until help came, bathing his head with water from a coal hod. The injured boy was taken to the nearest house and the remains of Foley were conveyed to his home on Cot tage street. John Foley the boy who was killed was an adopted son of Mrs. Mc Grevy, and went by name of McGrevy. Young O’Brien is a nephew of Alder man Sheran, with whom he resided. His injuries are o f a serious nature.—Middle- town Press. IS W HEAT GOING HIGHER. W h a t the Chicago “ Econom ist” Has to Say on the'Snhject. The Economist, a new financial paper, already a power in Western finances, said yesterday morning : “ The stock of wheat in sight in Minnesota and Dakota on Aug. 1 this year was 5,535,236 bushels more than on the corresponding date last year, but in three months so great a change has been wrought that the stock is now 10,389,000 bushels^ less than at the same time last year. When these facts are considered in con nection with the estimate that not more than 16,000,000 bushels remain to be mar keted of this year’s crop in the Northwest against 18,000,000 bushels moved in the first two or three months of the season, it w ill not be necessary to look further for a suflcient reason why wheat and flour have advanced so largely in the Northwestern markets and why they man ifest a disposition to go still higher. Bradstreef’s estimates the crops on the the Atlantic coast at 344,133,384 bushels. Ded’jct requirements for food and seed and cutting down the reserve to 30,000,- OOO bushels which is 10,000,000 less than the estimated minimum. There would remain the export from the Atlantic coast of .16,204,000 bushels. These and all facts that we are able to get warrant higher prices for wheat. We think the decline last week was engineered by the Minneapolis millers. They have raised the price of wheat without increas ing the stock. As it is of vital importance to them to get all the No. 1 hard there is at some price they encouraged a decline, hoping that the farmers would, as usual, sell on a decline what they refused to part with o n the advance. i by t that the labor shonl, Corporation Attorney reporl the case of Fisk against Graham was likely to he tried at the approaching term ofcourt and on motion a draft for $50 was ordered drawn in favor of the Presi dent to defray witnesses’ fees and neces sary disbursements.

CrVNTHDA D E O N A R D CAN’T V O T E Judge Da-wrence so Decides and Slie is Much Disappointed. Mrs. Cynthia Leonard, the Woman’s Rights candidate for Mayor, thinks that matters and things generally in this country have got to be revolutionized be fore people can obtain their rights. She wants to know why she can’t vote., Accompanied by Lawyer Nelson Smith, she appeared before Judge Lawrence in the Supreme Court yesterday morning and made application for a mandamus to com pel the Election Board to accept her vote to-day., Mrs. Leonard was attired in a black dress. A gray wrap was thrown over her shoulders and her hat, which was large and showy, was also gray. She watched the proceedings seriously, and was the observed of the observed. Mr. Smith, her counsel, made a fiery and eloquent speech. He quoted authorities and showed that the women of the coun try were a much abused class. Judge Lawrence told him, however, that he was fighting windmills, and that now in the eleventli hour he could not give a decision in this case that would upset all pre cedents established by the United States Supreme Court, the Circuit Courts, and innumerable other courts. The Judge, however, remarked that he would be pleased to hear him if he had anything new to say. Mr. Smith contended that all the de cisions relating to the righ^ of womon to vote were made prior to the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, which made no discrimination as to sex, He thought that the framers of the amendment in tended that women should vote when they drafted the article. Judge Lawrence, however, was obdurate and refused the mandamus. Mr. Smith and Mrs. Leonard thereupon left the court room. DEMOCRATIC ERACD CHECKED. Over Two Thousand Illegal Registrations Proven in Troy. Justice Ingalls yesterday decided the contested registration cases in favor of the Republicans, issuing a mandamus order ing the inspectors of election to strike off the names o f persons shown by afflidavit to be improperly on the registry. In all about 2,200 names have been omitted from last year’s poll list and taken from the registry under agreement or as the result o f the court’s order. At Justice Edward’s special term at the court house in this city to-day, similar orders were issued in the case of four wards in Cohoes, in which about 500 names were directed to be erased from the list. DEMOCRAllC EOOE BACK T H E PBOBDEM. The Electoral College consists of 401 members, and to obtain a majority either Harrison or Cleveland must have 201 votes. Democrats concede without dis pute 183 electoral votes to Harrison and republicans allow that the southern demo cracy is solid to the number of 153 for Cleveland. These figures leave 66 votes that are classed as representing the states mutually regarded as doubtful. The states are New York with 36 votes, In diana 15 votes, New Jersey 9 votes, and Connecticut G votes. The electoral vote of New York and Indiana added to the 153 votes] of the solid south will elect Cleveland. So will the combined vote of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut added to that of the solid south. On the other hand the electoral vote o f the state of New York alone added to the votes conceded to Harrison will elect him. Similarly Indiana and Connecticut with out New York will do the business for Harrison or Indiana and New Jersey with out New York. Cleveland must carry a a large area of the doubtfu 1 territory to win. Can he doit ?

The Erie Company Charged w ith Coer cing Their Em ployees into Voting tbe Republican Tickefc—The Rumor Dackg Confirmation and is Probably Gotten up for P o litical Effect. Just now there seems to be a good deal noisy indignation among the democrats of this ■village over the alleged attempt of the Erie company to coerce its employees into voting the democratic ticket. We have endeavored to ascertain upon what facts these charges are based, and thus far the only tan^ble basis for the cry seems to be the fact that the caller Wm. Frank- lyn has been removed from this town to Newburg and in this the democrats pro fess to see an attempt at coercion. Until we see some better reason, we^shall be in clined to doubt the truth of these charges. We personally know of two republican employees o f the company who were sent out upon the road to-day and who will be deprived o 1 the opportunity of voting the republican ticket. We have not fully Investigated the matter but we doubt not that there are many more. Last night hand bills charging coercion upon the company in hysterical head lines were sprinkled broadcast over the town, and to give prestige to tbe thing and clinch it, as it were, the Dollar a Day lie Which has been disproved over and over again and whose falsity has been acknowl edged by respectable democratic journals was reiterated. This if nothing else is sufficient to discredit the whole perform ance and to prove the reckless and desper ate character of those from whom it emin- Ooercion is something which we shall be quick to condemn whenever it is shown that such methods Lave been employed. But we shall require better evidence than the unproven assertions of men who do not hesitate to employ acknowledged falsehoods to accomplish their purposes. We may add that reports are rife in con nection with the same matter that are not at all creditable to the managers of the democratic town canvass but like the al legations of coercion on the part of the company they lack confirmation. The whole thing coming as it does on the very eve o f election smacks of roor back methods and will simply discredit those for wfiose benefit it is gotten up. We are credibly informed that a number of republicans who had intended voting for democratic local candidates are so dis gusted by the affair that they have changed their minds and will vote the straight re publican ticket as the only means of em phasizing their disgust. THiEy STOP AT NOTHING. A Young Canadian Assassinated m Chi cago 'by a Democrat. Prank Day, a young Canadian, was stabbed and killed at the corner of Clark and Jackson streets, Chicago yesterday by an unknown man. Day with two friends was on his way to the Polk street depot. ^ Just before they reached Jackson street they were met by another party of three, all more or less intoxicated. As they passed the strangers shouted “ Hurrah for Cleveland 1” Day shouted back “ What’s the matter with Harrison?” The strangers immediately assaulted him, and several blows were struck. A mo nent later one of the strangers plunged a dick knife into Day’s breast and the latter sunk to the pavement with a groan. The assassin and one of his companions started off on a run, but the other re mained standing on the spot with horror at the act. Day’s fnends seized and held him until an officer came. He proved to be William H. Warder, an engineer in the Government building. Warder pre tended, when questioned regarding the affair, to be drunk and c eclared he knew nothing about it. He even answered that he did not know who the men were that were with him. The deceased was 28 years old, unmarried and had been only six months in this country. His relatives live at Toronto. A PDDEASING ANNOUNCloAENT. Tlie Peoples Popular Decture and Enter- m ent Comae. Several attempts have been made to af ford the people of Port Jervis an oppor tunity of attending a course o f instructive lectures and pleasing entertainments. Two years ago Prof. Sherman assisted by the teachers in our public schools and others afterward they combining with the Y. M. C. A. attempted to secure such a course, although they were heartily en dorsed by many, they did not meet with sufficient financial encouragement to war rant them in completing the arrangements. This year after consulting those who had attempted it before and, receiving their hearty endorsement and feeling as sured no other attempt would be made this year, the enterprising committee ap pointed by the official Board of t t e M. E. churen, began last June to arrange with the best talent accessable, and early in August completed arrangements placed their tickets before the public and have met with very gratifying success. Over four hundred full course tickets have al ready been taken. The first lecture will be delivered Thursday evening of next week, Nov. 15th, in theM. E. church of Port Jervis by Col. L. P.

Stetson’s Double Monster Uncle Tom’s Cabin company will present their popular and unrivaled version of the ever welcome Uncle Tom’s Cabin at the Opera House on Friday evening, Nov. 9th. That their en tertainment is giving unlimited satisfac' tion is fully evidenced from the number of laudatory notices complimenting their excellent performance contained in our numerous exchanges, from among which we cli'i the following : There was an immense audience at the Opera House last night to witness the great Double Uncle Tom’s Cabin Co. The company rendered the piece in good style and every one in attendance was highly entertained. As usual, the female portion of the audience “ had a real good cry.’ Evansville, Ind., Sat.

Results in the W h ite H ouse. Surprises in Store for the Bourbons. W ashington , D. C., November 5.— No other city in the Union has been as quiet as Washington to-day, and while the interest in the result of elec tion is widespread, yet the usual excite ment on the eve o f a great national con test is lacking. Monday seemed like Sunday. For the past two or three days the outgoing trains have been heavily loaded with voters of both parties, a great numoer o f clerks having decided at the last moment to cast a vote. As the con test will be close the government em ployes do not feel at liberty to take any risks by remainmg, here. All the promi nent democratic officials have already de parted, and it is hard to find a democratic voter in the city. The passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad estimates that at least twenty-five per cent, more voters have gone home this year than ever he- fore. The agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio road says that twice as many voters went west this year as were carried in 1884. At the club rooms to-night politics alone is tbe subject of discussion. Ar rangements have been made to receive the returns at the clubs to-moriow night and at the hotels. The Republican National League will bo thrown open and will re ceive returs by special wire. It is impos sible to gain any idea of the prevailing sentiment as to the result among Wasning- ton politicians to-night. This is true of both parties, and every one is anxiously waiting for the end. Mr. McPherson, secretary of the Re publican Congressional Committe, left for Gettysburg to-day, but returns to-morrow evening. The canvass is over and labor ers were busy to-day cleaning the house and fcarting away documents. Mr. Mc Pherson confidently predicts a republican House in the next Congress. He has had an opportunity to know where the weak aemocratic distnefcs he. He figures out a republican majority of six, at least, in the next House. The President came in from Oak View at the usual time, and Colonel Lamont was at his desk most of the day. Neither of them will go home to vote. They have received many aispatches. The day closed wUh confidence among the demo crats as to the general result to-morrow. The republicans, however, express equal confidence, and predict some surprises as to certain southern states, notable Vir ginia, West Virginia and North Carolina. In the departments to-day there was no business done more than was absolutely necessary. In the departments to-day there was no business done more than was actually necessary.
