PRovIDEscE, Il. l., April 7.--At 12:40 this

tor Aldrich to the United States senate and
the choice of tho republican candi-
dates for state officers. Newport pro-

The democratic assembly ticket in
Woonsocket is elected by thirty, but the
Pawtucket assembly ticket is in doubt.
The vote polled was the largest in the his-
tory of the state. The result ia surprise
to everybody, and shows that there are ssv-
eral thousand people in the state whom the
party managers can never locate.

Seven Babies at a Birth.

The report from Guayaquil of the birth
of seven infants at one session is authsnt-
Gated on the highest medical authority that
the republic Of Ecuador can furnish. The
event took place in what was at the time
called the outskirts of the city. but it can
be known as the "outskirts'' no longer, for
the city has suddenly grown up there. The
doctors say that it is the nrst instance of SO
large an accession to Il family at ono effort
on record. Tho greatest number ever be
fore reported was FIVE aud even quartettes
are uncommon, though tripets and twins
have ceased to be regsiaed as extraordi-
nary. The mother of the septet is de-
seribed as a pretty Fenca woman named
Mario Juneau. Guayaquil has certainly
beaten the record and cast the exploits of
the northern half of the hemisphere en-
tirely in the shade in onrtying out the i'll

that came from the shops and freight
houses worked rapidly and succeeded in re-
moving the furniture, though much OF IL
was badly damaged.
The building was large two story and .
half frame Of very attractive design, and
was one Of the best equipped hospitals III
the west. The grounds attached to the
building included whole block and were
always we'll kept and had splendid lawns
and gardens. The efforts OF the fremen
were directed mainly toward saving the
surrounding buildings, which were endan-

complete and the loss about $4,000. II
was insured in the Liverpool, London &,

Great Falls Assured OF n Popular Mayor

GREAT FALLS, April 6.-[Spooial. THE
political situation in this city it enRrossing
the attention of everyone taking an inter
and from tbs energetic work being done by
the supporters Of the two candidates for
mayor the result Of the contest is to say
the least, extremely doubtful. While Great
Falls has at former elections rolled up
repu blicnn majority OF from ssventy-fve
to 100 votes this is very liable to be wiped
entirely away, Judging from present indi-
cations in the political sky. The earnest
ness and genuine enthusiasm with which
democrats are working for Patrick Kelley
makes the assumption that he will receive
a rousing majority in every ward very
reasonable one. His friends are legion.
and all of his political belief are giving him
their hearty and unqualified support,
knowing full we'll that with him at the
head of our municipal government a clean,
honest and fair administration will result.
The republican city convention met at
the court house tonight. Attorney Cooper
made the opening speech and proposed tho
name OF G. NJ. Webster for mayor. The
nomination was made by acclamation and
was made unanimous. If the political fates
decree that a republican must be elected.
every citizen would prefer Mr.. Webster to
any other republican in Great Falls. A
progressive citizen, broad and liberal in his
views. and a thoroughly genial gentleman,
Mr.. Webster commands the respect and
confidence Of all who know him.
