The Djmooratic ticket Is elected, with the possible exception of treasurer and commissioner. The state senate is Democratic, and there is a strong probability that the Democrats will have the legislature on joint ballot, though the majority will be small."" Pittsburg, Oct. 15.—A Commercial- Gazette (Rap.) special from Cincinnati says: ••Cleveland and its county are solidly Republican, a terrible blow to the Payne party. The whale of the Republican ticket in the state is elected by an average of 16,000 votes to spare. In Cincinnati and its county of Hamilton the Democratic managers are holding back certain returns with the hope Of doing things in such a way as to count in certain Democratic senators and house members. They will not succeed, as it is believed the result will probably stand in this county, that the Republican senators and representatives are elected with one exception, which will give both house] of tlie legislature to the Republican party, with John SheiMian for United States senator. In this county, on tha county ticket, the Democrats are successful in the mo3t important offices." Cincinnati, Oct 15.—The situation ip Hamilton county is changed, an t the jubilant spirits of the local Republicans have somewhat subsided. While it appeared early in the day as if the major portion of the Republican ticket was elected and members of the Duckworth club had concedel the victory to the other side, later returns indicate the election of the entire Difinocratic legislative and county ticket by pluralities ranging from 100 to 700, with Uie single exception bt Kuhl for county commissioner. The returns, however, are incomplete, and there ii a growing disposition on the part of Republican) to contest the election if the official count does not ahange the result.

If Mr. Ward obeys a subpce.ia from the committee he will be examined, and if he ignores it legal proceedings will be taken to compel his attend ance. London, Oct. 15.—The rumor that King Milan of Sarvia intends to i**Die a ioc'ara tion of war is curre.it in o.-_ j c p"a.' of Europe, an 1 it has wonder;':iMv in ,-ryl the excitement over the situation in ths east. A German envoy has been sent post haste from Berlin to Nisch and he i% said to be carrying a most important message from Prinoe Bismarck to Kihg Uilan. The nature of this message is only a matter of oonjecture, but It is believed thftt the German chancellor wishes to peitrain the Servian king from invading TYir Irish territory. It is almost certain that any attack by Servia upon the neighboring provinces of Bulgaria would be like a spark in a powder magazine, but it is feared that Bismarck's restraining massage will be too late to be jffactive. The casus belli, or the pretext upon which King Milan is expected to det clare war against is as follows: It is allegel that for months past Bulgarian agitators have fomented risings among thft - Servians living on the frontier. These constant Outbreaks, although petty in themselves and promptly ■oppressed, have kept the frontier in a state of alarm and have greatly annoyed the government at Belgrade. King Milan has more than once remonstrated with Prinoe Alexander of Bulgaria, and has demanded that the Bulgarian mischief-makers be interned. Promises to this effect have, it if said, been mrJe by the Bulgarian government, but they remain unfulfilled. It is this omission by Bulgaria of the duty of restraining her own marauders that is now to be made the pretext for a Servian invasion of Bulgaria M. Mijatovich, the Servian minister at London, iuformel the Cable News correspondent that he had presented to the British foreign office a note mentioning this omission an the part of Bulgaria. M. Mijatovich added that although frequent complaints hal been made at Sofia he believed that Princo Alexander had secretly approved the proclamations inciting a rising in Servia which were seised on the 27th of last month. "Yea, sir. 1 remember the time when we had to pay 7 per cent Interest on revenue bonds. This year we have boj*row,ed at all tho way from 1JC to l&X per oent" Richard W. Montgomery, a clerk in the chamberlain's office, testified that all drafts and transfer papers passed through his hands. He knew Ferdinanl Ward and received chocks from him. He recei ved a letter from Ward last three days before the failure of Grant ft Ward. He produced the letter. It read as follows: " The location of that road, connecting at every important point with the Njw York Central, made a legitimate competition under separate management impossible, and a watchful rivalry inevitable, tending everywhere to promote special rates a ad special privileges destructive to both roads and doing the public no good. The result was Been in the almost immediate bankruptcy of the West Shore company and a serious reduction in the net earnings, and as a consequence in the dividend! of tlia New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company. It Is believed that under one manage* ment, with an economical administration upon the revival of business, the increased facilities which we can afford will enable the company to render an efficient and acceptable service to the public at such cost as to give a fair remuneration to tha capital necessarily employed. It has been thought desirable before completing this arrangement to ask the stockholders to ratify the action of the directors by their rotes at a meeting called for that purpose to meet Nov. 4, 1885, at the office of the company, in the city of Albany, at 13 o'clock, noon. Isaac 8. Barrett, bookkeeper in the city finance department, was the first witness. The witness submitted a statement showing the daily bilancei in the Marine bank from Jan. 1, 1880, to May 6, 1884, and a statement of the balances in other banks during the same period. The witness also presented a detailed statement of Grant Sc Ward's purchssea of city, revenue and other bonds from Aug. 85, 1888, ta May 2, 1884. Deputy Comptroller Richard A. Starrs, who has been for years in the finance department, then took the stand and testified tbat 8. Bastings Grant assumed office as comptroller on Aug. 1, 1888. His bondsmen were James D. Fish, Police Justice Welde and Ferllnand Ward, the former of yhom waj president of the Marine bank and the latter a director. As soon as be took office th9 city began to have dealing* with the firm of Grant & Ward. At the same time the transfers at deposits to the Marine bank increase! rfcpidly. On July 2&, just a short time before Mr. Grant became comptroller, the deposits in the Marine bank amounted to only 9241,000, while on April 24, 1884, they aggregated $1,800,000. That was within ten days of the failure. Ai the same time Grant A Ward dealt largely in ctty bonds. Of revenue bonds Grant & Ward bought during the first four months of 1884 $8,450,009.

Distinguished Speakers. Philadelphia, Oct. 15.—At the examination in the injunction cases of the Soutli Pennsylvania and Beech Creek railroads to tWs city William Thaw, a director of the Pennsylvania Railroai company end vie* president of the Pennsylvania company, alluded to the reasons for the negotiationsfor tho railroad transfer, and said that to reaching the desire! harmony ijt was understood to be necessary to get the South Pennsylvania railroad out of the way of the Pennsylvania Railroai company. So long as Mr. Vanderbilt was conducting aggressive measures in Pennsylvania there oouldn't be a basis of harmony for *he trunk lines in their business. Mr. Vajderbilt was the controlling interest in South Pennsylvania railroad, and getting him out of that road would relieve the irritation. As an officer of the Pennsylvania company he was interested to the consummation of the transfer because it is a question of vital impOrtanoe to the lines west of Pittsburg. The final part of the Pennsylvania company to tnit transaction was to act as negotiator and agent for the Bedford and Bridgeport company to respect to bonds and seocks already (sued. The Pennsylvania company acted as principal to the purchase to assuming charge of the negotiations for the control of the road. Million Dollars. Naw Haven, Oct. 15.—The tenth «"""«) congress of the Protestant Episcopal church of the Unitel State) will «e held in this' city Oct 80 to 33, in Caril's Opera house.

A large number of distinguished clergymen and laymen are to be in attendance, and are to speak upon the many subjacta marked out for discussion. The congress is not a legislative bo4y, being simply an association for the voluntary discussion of questions looking toward the general good of the church and to Christian progress.
