Baltimore Municipal Election.


a dispatch from Baltimore, on the
o5th, to the Duly Nc,us, has the fol.
lowing:
At the municipal election to-day
for Mayor and both branches of the
City Council, Hon. Joshua Vansant,
the democratic candidate for Mayor,
received l8,037 votes Charles Dun
lap, 1928. Vansant's majority,
1924. Eansant had majority in
all the wards. In the first branch
of the City Council all the democrat
ic candidates are elected, except in
the 18th ward, where James Hughes,
the reform candidate, is elected over
Geo. B. Barry, Democrat, by two
majority. This branch stands 10
Democrats and one reform. In the
second branch. composed of ten
members, all the democratic candi-
dates are elected, except probably,
in the district composed of the 18th
and 10th wards, where the result is
in doubt aud recount of the votes
is necessary TO determine the result.
The republicans had no ticket in
the field but supported the reform
| candidates. The LECTION was very
quiet.
The National Insurance Conven-
ton of State Insurance Officers,
which re assembled in New York on
the ls:h inst, to which date the
body had adjourned over from June
ID, last, was attended by delegates
from twenty-five States of the
Union.
The recent great fire has SO COM
pletely unsettled all previous calcu-
lations of risks, that their meeting
will, probably. be an important one
in the annals of Insurance. A more
rigid examination and careful accep-
lance Of risks, and higher premium
rates will, doubtless be the result.
ENCKE's GREAT COMET is now on its
way towards the pcrihclion which it will
reach in January next. This comet will
be teescopically visible some months pre-
viously, but it is not an object of special in
tercSt to those whose vision is unaided by
instruments. This comet is principally of
interest because its period ofrcvoution has
diminished to about the extent of three
days in the past eighty years-a fact which
is generally accepted as furnishing the best
proof of the theory that the regions of
space are filled with Il material capa-
bic of rctarding the bodies composing
the solar systom
RELIGIOUS MOB V:oLENcE-A man
calling himself A. p. Delvin under
took to deliver an anti-Catholic dis
course at Scranton, Pa, on Sunday,
Odd inst. When he referred to Tie
Catholics as being thieves, murder
crs and cut-throats, the crowd went
for him, and stone cut the back of
his head open. At last accounts he
lay in the hotel, apparently in dam
gcrous condition.
SEVERE ON PoMpEY SMASH "Small-
Pox in Pompey Smash is at last aba
ting. No new cases have been re-
ported for the past few days. But
it is no fault Of the careless, crimi-
nal inhabitants that the disease is
abating, us they have taken every OPP
portunity to spread it wherever they
went. We hope our Legislature at
it's next session will pass law to
reach such people in future. "-Meacs.
Terror reigns in South Carolina
Arrests are made by wholesale and
conflicts of alleged Ku-Klux with
Federal troops, are reported. The
populations Of Spartanhurg. Union
and York counties are said to be
thoroughly dcmoralized, and fami-
lies are leaving the State. The
proclamation of martial law falls
heaviest, it is said, upon the women
and chill lrcn.
The first Mormon trial, that of
Hawkins, has resulted in convic-
ton. The Court room was crowded.
and the announcement Of "guilty.'
Oh the charge of adultery, created
profound excitement. Hawkins was
held as q prisoner.
St. Louis wants two mole grain eleva-
tors. There are now only three in the city
and the Republican says: THE Insurance
Companies have all full lines of risks on
these three buildings and their contents,
and it is extremely difficult to get any in
suancc upon fresh lots OF grain now going
into store"
