Democrats Sweep Virginia. Richmond, Va.. Nov. 4.—The election in Virginia, which was tor members of the assembly, has resulted in a Democratic sweep of the state. There were few contests, the field as a rule being left open to the Democrats. Two surprises appear, however, in the defeat of the Democratic nominees In Botetourt and Fredericksburg. The vote generally was light being Richmond city, for example, only about 25-per cent of the registration. A fierce fight between Democrats, one with and tbe other without the endorsement of tbe state committee, for tbe treasnrersblp of Henrico county, was a feature of tbe election ai to a heavy vote In that county.

Nebraska Republicans. Lincoln. Neb. Nor. 4.—Tbe entire Republican state ticket Is elected by 10.000 plurality. The vote for tbe 115 precincts in tha state gave Barnes, Rep.. 9642; Sullivan. Fusion. 8102. The same precincts two years ago gsvedfce Republican candidate 9675; Fusion. 8107, a change so slight that it will require a Fusion landslide from an unexpected quarter to overcome the Republican plurality of 12,000 of two years ago. First report* were all favorable to tbe Puslonlsta. but tbe later returns almost wiped out tbe early

by tbe cane as be was passing. WttbO'ut other provocation Armstead drew a revolver and fired. Armstead claims

that one of tbe crowd bit him

mouth with his fist and In return he •hot. Other witnesses of the shooting say Armstead had no provocation whatever for using his revolver. The ballet pierced Butler'e liver, and phy-

elclans cay he cannot recover.

After the shooting Armstead ran along Ross street. Fifth avenue and Smlthfleld street to the Monongahela river, followed by an excited crowd of 500 or moke men, who kept up a tlnual cry of “lynch him." When negro was finally captured the p had a deeper*:e fight with tbe cro* protect their prisoner, and eventually got him safely Into an engine bouse

and later took him to Jail.
