election in this city was hotly contested.
Party lines were strictly drawn. As
compared with the vote Of two years ago.
when candidates for the same Offices were
voted for. the democrats make a gain
of one councilman. The result today
places the town under democratic con-
troll. The republican candidates for
clerk and marshal were elected by small
pluralities. Amid the general landslide

GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY.
All the Prisoners Escape from the
Washington LOck-Up.

WASHINGTON, May Especial
Last midnight general Jail delivery
transpired in this city.
The notorious Bill Cochran, who is i'm
plcated in a box-car robbery through
the help Of confederates on the outside,
chiseled hole through the wall of the
corridor Of the jail and with two others
escaped.
The sheriff's boy had locked the cells
in the evening. but the three who
escaped had concealed themselves In the
corridor. They were discovered just
after they had gained their freedom, but
could not be intercepted.
The blOodhounds from Seymour were
sent for. but on account OF the rain were
unable 10 trail the criminals.
Much Indignation exists on the streets
today on account of the carelessness of
Sheriff Teming for suffering his boy TO
attend 10 the sheriff's duties.
Mr.. Teming is a candidate for re-elec-
ton. on the republican ticket, but will
now probably be defeated.
This makes three Jail deliveries in
Washington within four years.

That Numbering TT. wayne Mayor.

FIT WAYNE, May 7.-Special-It is
said that four members Of the two NUM-
cipal boards appointed by mayor Oakley
are incapacitiated Tor service. as they are
now and have been for some time inter-
ested in city contracts. This argument
is being advance by both parties. The
republicans are opposing the mayor on
the grounds that in making his appoint
ments he has totally ignored the German
voters, whose ballots made him mayor.
Every move Oakley has made in the
way Of appointments has been a dis
astrous one for the republicans. The
democratic majority may investigate the
appointments tomorrow night as regards
city contracts.
