BEFORE ELECTION.
Excitement at High Pitch Among Both
Parties, Republicans aud Democrats
The Republicans Feel Confident That
They Will Elect their Candidate, AL.
dermau Hart, Mayor.
BOsTON, Dec. /:

BOSTON, Dec. l3.
As the municipal election draws near i,
becomes more and more apparent that large
vote will be thrown tomorrow and that the
triangular contest will be a fierce one on the
mayOraly vote. IL is we'll known and freely
admitted that not for years have the opposing
factions put So much work INTO the campaign
as in this. This is especially true of the re-
publicsns who are feeling confident and W 40
have left no stone unturned TO secure a vic
tory for Alderman Hart. The confidence OF
the republicans is based upon the assurance
that Hart will receive the entire SUPPORT OF
his party together with thar of the msa who
IN former years have been identified with the
citizens movement and the county democracy.
Then the supporters OF Mcneil, labor csndi-
date are drawn largely from the d. mocratic
party and tile disafect of 5000 of these
men will play no unlmportint part in aiding
the republicans.
The democrats, however, appear confident
OF reelectIug Mayor O'Brien and claim the
republican candidate is alreany beaten as
there is evidence of change that has taken
place in favor of O'Bren, they point TO the
circular just issued by the Tax PAYERS Ae-
sociauon" commencing Mayor o Brlen for
reelection on the ground that during the first
year of his administration the tax rate has
been reduced from $l7 to SIP 80 per $1,000
tha: he has reduced water rates; reduced
working expenses in various departments and
h4s handled the cIty's business intelligently,
economically and in the interests of the tax
payers.
The county democracy are putting in Wig.
orous work for the republican nominee un-
der the leadership OF Senator elect Edward j .
jenkins. Its members seem contide.t t of
Harts election, but say no matter what the
result may be the county democracy has
come to stay and will fulfil its mission of
''war to the machine"
Popular estimate among the republicans is
that Hart will receive %, 500 votes, O'Brien
20, 900, McNeill $500.
Tse democrats affect to believe that Nc
Neill's vote will not exceed 5000 at the out
side, while the labor men themselves claim
McNeill will poll 5000.
The interest among the laboring classes is
very great. and it is conceded on all sides
that the labor vote tomorrow is liable to show
unlocked for strength. Another surprise 10
threatened on the license vote. There has
been great activity among the temperance
people and it is expected the "no license"
vote tomorrow will be largely in excess of
that ever polled before in this city For
members OF the board of aldermen, common
council and school board there will be many
split tickets, and the work of ascertaining
the final result tomorrow night will thereby
be greatly augmented.

FIRE IN TURNER.
A school Building Burned to the Ground
The Origin IA M vstery.
LEWISTON, Dec, l3.

LEWISTON, Dec. l3.
Sunday morning, between 2 and 3 o'clock,
the school house in the village of Turner
was burned to the ground. 1t was the best
school building in town, and was built ten
years ago. The primary school room was on
the first floor and the grammar school was
held upstairs. The grammar school has
been in session two weeks How the fire
caught or originated is mystery. No FIRE
had been built since Friday, when both
schools adjourned. Some think the fire came
from the ash pail, but that was composed OF
galvanized iron and could not have COM
municated FIRE to wood if filled with live
Goals. The building cost about $1,000 No
insurance. As nothing could be done to save
the building, attention was turned to saving
the next building, w. Ii. French's stable. 1t
was somewhat scorched but not injured.
Luckily, it was a calm night.

Whit True Merit VIII Da.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within a few years. has astonished
the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and efectual cure of coughs, colds. and the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
tirely different principle from the usual pre-
scriptlons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause Of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in a purely healthy condi-
tiou. A bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and a long spell OF
serious illness. A trial will convince You OF
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
Rists and general dealers in the land. Price
70 cents, large bottles.

A YOUNG CHILD
Killed by the Mother, Who Attempt
Suicide.

PUTNAM, Conn, Dec. l3.
Yesterday, Adelbert Fairchild and wife
quarreled at the house of Mrs. Fairchld's
father, A. A. Clark, superintendent of the
Putnam town farm. Clark sent them to their
own home. Abut one o'clock, during her
husbands absence, Mrs. Fairchild procured
some morphine and, physicians say, admins
tered to herself and child enough to kill ten
men. Fairchild returned home about three
O'Clock, when he found the child dying on the
lounge and his wife lying near by in an un-
conscious condition. Despite prompt medi-
cal aid the child soon breathed its last. By
unremitting efforts on the part of doctors, the
woman was finally restored to consciousness,
but evidently with mind impaired. Physi-
cisns say she was insane when she committed
the deed. The coroner was sent for and
stated the papers for the woman's arrest
would be served today. Mr.. aud Mrs. Fair
field are each about 80 years old.
