Petersburg, VA. May "a Spec
ial.-The election here to-day Tor
city offices and members OF the Com
mon Council passed of very quietly
1t was not thought that Mayor Col
lier would have any opposition. but
this morning Mr.. James w. Deshaz-
on of this city, announced himself q
candidate.
There was no opposition to the
other candidates. The main fight In
this election was for two members o'
the Common Council from First
ward. The candidates were Captain
W. s. McCanoe and Mr.. ID. ]. Baxter
(Democrats), and Captain 4. A,
Goodwyn and Mr.. j. M. Newcomb
(Republicans).
The total vote cast In the city was
a little over one thousand. The
city officers and members of the Com
mon Council nominated at the Dem
ocratic primary election, on the
18th, OF April, and whose names
have already been given In these dis
patches, were elected with the excep-
ton of Captain e. A. Goodwin and
Mr.. j. M. Newcomb (Republlcans)
for the Council, who we're elected
over their Democratic opponents by
over three hundred majority. Mr.
James w. Deshaz)n, who was May
or Golfers opponent, received only
q very few votes.

DEMOCRATS ROUTED.
Prohibition Reform Ticket
Elected.
A Clean Sweep-Six COlored Men Elec-
ted to the City Council

NORFOLK, VA, May "a Special
The Prohibition Reform ticket has
swept the city, much TO the conster
nation OF the regular ID mocratic or
ganization. The complete returns
will probably not be In until late
this morning, but those which are
already In show the election by
large majority-probably 1,500-of
the entire Prohibition ticket, includ-
Ing majority of the City Council.
The successful candidates are Mai.
G.. w. Pettitt, who defeated the Dem
ocratic nominee by the largest ma
iority ever known here Lawrence
Royster, for Clerk of the Courts. Lu
ther w. White, for City Collector !;
John K. Burke, for City Sergeant
K. NJ. Baum, for Commemorative
Attorney S. s. Lambeth, Jr., for
City Attorney; G. Nj. Cruiser, for
Street Inspector; w. G. Ashley Clerk
of the Market; M. j. Chapman.
Keeper of Cemeteries; j. III. Morris
Keeper of Almshouse; o. b. Turner,
Sealer OF Weights and Measures DIR.
Fl. r. Dupuy, Ply stefan to the Aims
house.
This is the cleanest sweep for years
and will give the Prohibitionists the
control of every city department.
The election was much more quiet
and orderly than was expected, but
several fights took place at the City
Hall precinct of the Second ward. w
w. Forbes was arrested by Sheriff
Cromwell, of Norfolk country, to an
swer i've indictments for selling Ii
Quor without license. Charles Hay
zen, a colored Democratic worker II
the Fourth ward, was arrested OF
complaint of Msjor d. HUMPHREYS
of the Prohibition committee, on {
charge of Offering to buy vote.
In the First precinct of the Fourth
ward the judges who bad been select
} ed declined to act, and three other
: named by citizsns were sworn In b,
Police Justice East about an hou
: after sunrise. A further difficult,
then arose by the absence of the reg
Istration books, and 1t was between
8 and $50 O'Clock before the book
