ROSEVELT ELECTED.!
GREAT REPUBLICAN VIC*
TORY.
EVERY DOUBTFUL STATE
CARRIED.
Now York, Nov. S ?The Hepublican
national ticket has been
elected by a vote in the electoral
collego that will exceed that ot
202 given Mr. McKinley in 1000.
The result of today's balloting
was astonishing even to the most
sanguine of the Republican managers.
Confident as thoy were of
success, they were not prepared
for the astonishing figures which
followed the closing of the polls,
bringing into the Republican col
unit) not only all of those States
they bad claimed ns ?nfe for their
candidate, but with tho possible
exception of Maryland, every
State classed as doubtful.
Democratic successes are ccnlin
fed to the solid South, in which
Kentucky is included, rind Mr.
Parker has not carried a single
State which did not give its vote
to Mr. Bryan four years ago.
Now York, Nov. 9. ?President
Roosevelt's victory did not diminish
in any degree over night. On
the contrary, it has grown hgger.
Later and fuller returns from
everywhere show that the victory
of the Republican party has been
one of tne most astonishing in
America's political history.
No candidate since Greeley's
time has been more badly beaten
than Judge Parker. Every doubtful
slato fell into lino in the Republican
column and surprised
the Repuulicans themselves by the
tremendous plurality. Another
surprise in the election is the fact
that several Northern states, notably
Massachusetts and Minnesota
elected Democratic governors in
1 ? :_L: 1 Hi ?
iuu iulu ui uu usiuuiHuiug plurality
for Koosevelt.
The honor of having tho largest
popular vote ever given any national
cundidato has fallen to
Koosevelt and Fairbanks. In
many states tho national ticket
run ahead of the McKinley vote
four years ago.
The Democrats lost seats in congress
which they believed to be
absolutely safe.
New York, Nov. 10.?After
election interest was today suddenly
centered upon Maryland by
tho announcement that that State,
yesterday conceded to the Hepublicans,
is now in doubt. Late
returns have reduced Roosevelt's
nlllPul if tr t/t iV?A nnsHAiiT Ii
f/iuiwttij kxj iljo inn ii;tv lijjui u \/i
126, and it will take the official
oount to determine whether Maryland
will be placed in the Republican
or Democratic column.
There is also a possibility that the
State's electoral voto will be divided.
Beyond the situation in Maryland
and the fact that it is now
admitted that lloosevelt carried
Missouri, iu which State the Leg- !
islature is also Republican, to
days' election news is devoid of
feature. Returns snow steudily
increasing Republican pluralties,
and now it eeems probable that

Shocks Richland.
l'ttii Dispensary Constables Killed
Kuch Olhei at Eastover.
- Quarreled Over An
Overcoat.
The State, 10th inst.
One ot the most startling and
shocking tragedies that has
r? r
evt-r heen known in llichlund occulted
late yesterday afternoon in
peaceful Ivisto' or, when two
dispensing constables shot and
killed each other. As is usual in
the reign of citne and carnival of
carnage that now holds sway over
South Carolina, the utiair was
precipitated i.v u <]ii:irrol over a
trivial thing? an overcoat.
The dead men are J. L Irby
and S. A. Phillips
I'wo men had been sent to
Easloror and hud left this city
about z o'clock in tuo afternoon
in a buggy drawn t?v two horses.
They readied the pretty village
late in the afternoon and evidently
spent some little time there.
it was soon after dark when
they stopped at Ivarsee'w store,
and Irby got out of the buggy
and went into the dure to search
it. lie loft his o re I coat in the
buggy with Phillips, who drove
ofi' down the street. As he was
driving the coal dropped out of
the Imggv to the ground. Irby
soon came out of the store, having
found no whiskey and was
standing in I he door when Phillips
drove back on the other side
of the streo!. Irby call to him
to come over, and when he did
Irby told him that there was nothing
^cio whiskey) there. "Lets
go back to Columbia," said lr[>y
Puillips jumped from the buggy
and said to Irby, Now you've
got your coat. That will prove 1
did not steal your coat. You
have got to give me satisfaction
for saying that I did steal your
coat.
"I did not say you stole tuy
cuai. 1 ;cii 11 in your koeping.
You ought to have known something
about it. Com? and let't
go back to Columbia. There'e
nothing hero.
"No I'm not going beforo I got
satisfaction. You said i stole
your overcoat ami I'm not going
uolil I get satisfaction," repeated
Phillips.
Mr. Karsce, seeing that there
was to bo trouble, took hold ol
Phillips and told him to got in
tho buggy. Lie did so, and Ir
by started to drive off but his
companion snatched the reins and
said "Lot mo drive tho buggv
over to McKenz'.o's store.
Another account of tho tragedy
is given by anothor witness.
Philips came into the store of
Mr. Ed MeKenzie, and taking
him back into the rear of the establishment
said: "Mr. Irby has
insulted mo and I'm not going
back in tho buggy witb him.
Phillips then wont out to tho
Kllirnrv with \1 I- MnlTon'.in n??'l
^ j t. .11? ii&i , iiivivvu/iio aim
told Irby lie would not go with
him. Irby insisted on hie going
but he still refused.
Irby pulled off his overcoat und
laid it in the buggy, taking from
it his revolver; which he stuck in
his hip pocket* lie caught Phillips
by the collar and told him lie
bad to go, and at the same timo
shipping his face.
McKcnzic got between tho men
and tried to part them, proposing
that Irby should go in the buggy
and Phillips on the train, or vice
versa. Irby caught Phillips by
the collar again, 8lying ho must
go in the buggy. Then it was
that Phillips drew his pistol and
shot lrby, at lie same time run]
nmg away. Ii by drew his own
revolver and began to shoot at
Phillips firing several shots, 80

it is underbto d. McKensdie, to
out of t!io L'uufiio ran iuto his
store.
Phillips fell dead, shot through
the back jtintvwhere the suspender
cross Irby walked about a few
moments and then went into the
store and was told to sit down.
He 1 iveil possibly 15 or 30 minutes
but died in .the ehair where he
was sitting. Dr. L. N. Hook, the
nearest physician, was sent for
but as ho was some distance in
the country at the time of the
homicide lie did not roach Irby
until he was almost dead. *Dr.
Hook said that the wounded man
breathed twice after hi i arrival
and then expired. As far as ascertained
last night he tuado no stat?
nient after the shooting, except
that he said "He's got me" just
after Phillips tired at him. He
. . . . - I
was sum aooui midway between j
tbe breast and abdomen and practically
in the median line. Ho !
probably bad an internal hemorrhage.
Both were drinking.
It is said that Phillips hid
been drinking heavily and was in
tact intoxicated, while Irby, who
had also been drinking, was able
to know what ho was doing.
