LEWISTON, March 3.-Today Lewiston
has witnessed the closest and most exciting
election ever held within her limits. For
the past few weeks the Republicans have
baen confident of victory and apparently
have worked with will, and when the polls
opened this morning were happy in the pros
pect of coming victory. About noon, how
ever. it became evident that something was
wrong and work began in earnest. The
Democrats were confident of success and it
was plainly seen that they were getting the
full vote, while on the other hand the subur
ban voters who are largely Republicans,
were not making their appearance Excite
ment ran high and so close did it seem taat
few bets were made on either side. The
country roads were drifted terribly and
there must have been % voters at least who
were kept away on this account alone
There was considerable drunkenness noticed
during the day. In few minutes the re-
turns began to come in. The bulletin an
nounced in glaring letters that d. j. McGilli-
cuddy, DEM, had received 1912, while Bar
ker, Rep, had 1902, scattering 5. Sixteen
hundred and ten was necessary for choice
and so the Democratic candidate had two
majority. For few minutes it seemed as if
bedlam had been let loose, but the annouce.

soon changed excessive hilarity into MUIR

At $50 the strees in front of the Board of
Trade rooms was packed with bowling but
anxious crowd eargerly waiting the result of

Augusta Ice Men Forced From the
Frozen River.

AUGUSTA, March 3.-The first real snow
storm of the winter in this section set in at
o'clock Sunday afternoon, ana continued
through the night, accompanied by high
northeast wind, which piled the snow in
drifts about the city and blocked ali the
country roads for miles around. Ten to fif-
teen inches of snow have fallen, so unequal
in some places that the travelling is the
worst it has been this winter.
The Maine Central trains were all more or
less late this morning, but not so much as
they would have been had the company not
sent out special trains early this morning
with ploughs to clear the road.
Work on the new iron bridge has been en-

the workmen to face the terrible wind which
came from the river. All ice operations
have also been suspended, but will start in
again on full time in the morning.

A Brave Unknown from Texas.
A SOUTHERN STORY OF THE OF
SHERMAN'S MARCH TOWARD THE
NORTH.

A little mound near the cotton mills
in Newberry covers the remains OF one
who has left an eternal monument to
the south's chivalry, says a New
berry Is. CO. correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution. His name is un-
known. Immediately after the close
of the wal the negro troops belonging
to Sherman's army were marched by
different routes to Port Royal and
Charleston, there to be disbanded.
The night of which | speak, a regi-
ment Of negro troops were encamped
in N~ewberry, near the railroad depot.
The town had been plundered, and
her citizens subjected to all the indiS-
mites that a drunken negro mob could
offer. a government train was then
running from a point twenty-five miles
north of Columbia to Greenville to
carry soldiers and refugees as near
their homes as possible. This night,
as the train slowed up at the depot, it
was Immediately surrounded by a
drunken. bowling crowd of negro sol
diers. On board the train were two
ladies. The negroes swarmed through
the cars like a set of demons set free
from the Internal regions, while white
soldiers on board were helpless and
ut their mercy. What a place for two
helpless n without protectors.
In the coach with the ladies was a
soldier, and from his dress and de-
meanor II wonld judge him to be
from Texas. He was tall and stately
with piercing black eyes, while his
massive head of hair well became his
brawny face. He plainly showed that
he had been q determined follower OF
the lost cause. In their wild
one of the drunken negroes began to
offer insults and indignities to the

for rehearsal. In trying to release
herself from his loathsome embrace,

~WEATnER-CROP BULLETIN.
WEEK ENDING JUNE IA, 1890.

There was considerably more rain
fail than usual in nearly all portions
of the State during the past sever
days, the average fall in North LOuisi-
ana being 2.12 inches and in South
Louisiana 1859 inches; the extremes
ranging fAnm .01 Of an inch at Port
Eads on the Gulf to 1 40 inches at
Farmerville in the extreme northern
part of the State. The greater part
of the rain fell III the first three days
of the week but since then we have
had good growing weather. In the
sections that were Overfowed in
North Louisiana, where the ground
had become baked hard, the rains
are reported as beneficial, elsewhere
generally too much fell.
The temperature was slightly be-
low the average and there was less
than the usual amount of sunshine,
the deficiency in both conditions re-
sulting from the rainy first half of the
week. Grass secured Il strong foot
hold and cotton is reported as being
very grassy in the north central par
isles; more favorable reports are re-
ceived from the remaining parishes III
North Louisiana, cotton crop looking
well, stand good, and growth about
the same as last year at this time.
The water continues recediny and has
left nearly all farms from the Atcha-
falaya north. Cotton on these I'M
covered fields is coming up and
growing nicely.
Cotton and corn are reported in
good condition in the Florida parish
eS.
Encouraging reports continue from
all portions of South Louisiana. The
crops have all been benefited by the
weather of the. past week and are
growing with wonderful rapidity.
Planters are busy laying by cane and
corn, and cane, rice and corn look
fine, although the effects of 90 much
rain are apparent in some localities
by the grass that sprung mp during
the first bali of the week. Cotton
blooms arc reported from many Sec
tons, and the Sugar Experiment
Station reports sorghum all tasseled
except late varieties A comparison
with former seasons gives promise Of
a comparatively dry week after the
18th. instant, that will be favorable
to clearing crops OF grass, and to com
plete necessary %replanting.
