Mrs. d. Heenan of Streator, died on Tues
day afternoon last of cerebo,meningitis
after an illness of about two weeks, at the
age Of 40 years The funeral took place on
Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Heenan was Miss White; was born
and raised in Canada; and there married
Mr.. Heenan some 30 years ago.
She was a woman of many accomplish
ments and dearly loved by those who knew
her well. She was not "society women"
insthe least her tastes never were in that
direction; nevertheless few women were
more charming in their homes or entertained
more graciously or beautifully. In works
and deeds of charity, kindly attention to the
young of both sexes who needed kind
word or deed she took a never ceasing de-
light, and among these, outside of her i'm
mediate family, will be found her mourners,
and their number is very, very large
Quite a number of her former intimate
friends in this city we're in attendance at the

TUE CITY ELECTION.
Success of the Democratic Ticket.

Success of the Democratic Ticket,
Election day at the polls was exciting
although the day was quiet one. Both
parties were fully organized, and there was
no lack Of carriages and workers. In fact.
the workers seemed toe numerous for first
class hus ling, and il is question whether
one vote in five was influenced by their pres
ence. The vest pocket vote was as large, If
not larger, than at the fall election Of 'SS,
and the straight tickets were very numerous.
All wards but two, the first and second, gave
Sherwood majOrities all wards but three
went for Leahy, and all wards but two were
tor Madden.
The first ward Republicans were so conf
dent of success on the aldermsnio contest
that they allowed the work to lag somewhat,
and threw their best card for Catlin, but q
warning word at three o'clock saved the
Democrats the trouble of serenading Haight.
Corcoran, of course, had no opposition.
In the third ward il was early given out
that certain Democratic influence was be
ing exerted to attempt the shelving of Ma
her, but just about this juncture the sand
boat came down and the Hon Dan went in
with his usual liberal majority.
In the fifth ward the cause of Mr. Xellers
was given up as hopeless case early after
dinner.
