CoHoEs, n. Y, April 13-At the municipal
election yesterday the candidates were Henry
A. Strong, Republican; German, Cleveland
Democrat, and Garside, Hill Democrat. Money
had been bet on the rival Democratic candi-
dates, and one faction sought to prevent the
other. which had control OF the ballot boxes,
from unduly initiating its count. A gang of
touGhs from Troy, who had been appointed
special policemen, threw the city into the
widest excitement last night. Everything was
quiet until the time came for closing the polls
in the Fourth ward, which was heavily Republi-
can. Then Troy special caused a row, and
twenty other special policemen rushed in and
seized the ballot boxes. The boxes were taken
to the police station and locked in an
iron cell. When the ballot boxes were seized
by the special police en- angry mob followed,
but was held back by the regular police At
the police station the cit zans attempted to
rescue the boxes but were struck down by the
Troy specials. who were armed with clubs.
saloon-keeper's place Of business was entered
by the mob and the bartender shot man
through the arm. A man named McDonough,
of West Troy, was taken home on a streteher.
He was hit by policeman, who thought he in
tended to vote for Garside, the Hill candidate
The Fourth ward ballot boxes are still in the
police station, but Strong is elected without
them. The Fourth ward, being Republican,
would only increase his majority.

evening by Posr-IsTELLIGEScKR representa-

Robert Kennedy, who is the elder of the broth

They had no great fear OF the outcome of the
persecution of the parliament, but as u matter
OF principal they determined not TO go down to
Victoria. The Objectionable editorial was not
Hbel9us in character either against any indi-

SPOKANE, April 13.-[Special. l-Spokane
is in the midst of a bitter fight on the
water question. At late hour last night
three pioneer citizens went before Superior
Judge Moore and asked for an injunction
restraining the city officials from paying
out any money for an up-river water
scheme. The injunction was granted. and
the papers were served on Mayor Fother-
ingham, Comptroller Reed and President
of the Council Strobach at o'clock this
morning. The complaint alleges Doodle
on the part of the city council. The in
junction grew out of the fact that the city
council yesterday, by vote of s to Z, re-
fused to reconsider the vote by which it
had agreed to purchase land and water
power several miles up the river
at cost of S102,000, on which
to locate the water-works, which are
at present located at the falls. 1t is pro-
posed to put in dam twenty-three feet
high in order to create the necessary
power. Competent engineers estimate
that it will cost over s., ,0O0. 600 to carry out
the scheme, which is of exceedingly doubt
ful practicabiiity. The price paid for the
alleged rights up-river is exorbitant, being
ten times the actual value. The
city recently voted bonds of $500, 900 for
an extension of the water system,
and this amount is ample to supply the
entire city with water, provided the pres
ent system is enlarged. The proposed up
river scheme will plunge the city hope
lessly into debt, and no one knows where
the money is to come from to complete it.
Corporation Counsel Houghton yester-
day informed the council that, as a matter
of law. they were paying for rights that
did not exist. and that the money they were
expending for alleged riparian rights
| and water power was as good as
thrown away. The majority Of the coun-
Gil today requested Houghton to resign,
which he declined to do, and tomorrow
they will remove him, q majority vote
only being necessary. Public indignation
is at fever heat and Doodle is openly
cbarged.

morrow. The Harrison faction is in such
hopeless minority that tonight all that

did such thing he would release the dele

An exciting contest between two factions
to secure control of the Republican county
convention was held here today, with
Mayor Pingree, candidate for governor,
and ex-senator Palmer, president of the
Worlds fair, on one side, and Senator Nc
MILAN on the other. The contest was to
secure the selection of state central COM
mitteemen favorable to Pingree's aspira-
tions for the governorship. A Pingree
man was called to the chair, and when he
assumed the prerogative of appoint
ing a committee on creden-
tials trouble began. The Mcmillan
faction elected a chairman, and for the
next hour the convention had two presid-
ing officers. The opposing delegates
crowded on the stage, and scuffie en-
sued. Finally compromise was effected
by the rival chairmen being constituted a
committee on credentials, and contests
decided by tossing up coin. After the
credentials committee reported the Nc
MILAN candidate was elected chairman by
81 to 81, and after that the McMillanites
had it all their own way.
