The sewerage contractors have now
two gangs of men employed, one on

better nature for handling there than
on the east side.

City Election.

The municipal election yesterday
passed off in quiet manner, and was
not fraught with any extraordinary in
terest. although in several of the wards
there were warm contests for alder
man and supervisor. The vote was
light, falling considerably behind that
of year ago. AS the returns came in
the vote of JAG" Ditschler, Republi-
can candidate for city treasurer, show
ed him to be most popular candidate.
He carried both the Second. land Sixth
wards and was defeated only by 8
majority of 246. In the First ward
Moak, for supervisor, both regular
Republican nominees, are elected
by handsome majorities over J. ].
Brusenbach and P. ]. Euper, respect
ivelv. A tie en- the vote for supervisor
in the Second ward occurs between c..
Arenberg and J. Kuhn, which will be
decided by lot before the common
council. Alderman S. M. Eaton, Re
publican, is reelected in the Fourt h
ward without opposition, while in the
Fifth, where there was four-cornered
fight, Frank E. Woodland, Republican,
is returned to the council, receiving a
well-merited endorsement for his able
and active work rs an alderman. His
vote was only % less than the entire
vote for mayor The balance of the
council are Democrats, in most cases
the old and tried members being re-
turned.
The vote on the circuit judgeship
was surprise to great many of the
supporters of Mr.. Smith, for they had
counted on a much larger majority for
him in this Democratic stronghold than
he received. AS 1t was he went out of
the city with only III majority over
Judge Bennett, and from appearances
this morning it looks as though the
latter is reelected in the circuit by
large majority.
We append the complete vote of the

CHAS. G. SCHIFFLER.
According to the annual report of
the health commissioner, DR.. G. r.
Field, now being prepared, there were
during the year from March | /, 1898, to
March |, 1894, total of 12l deaths in
the city of Watertown. With a popula-
ton of 900, this would make the
death rate only Il per cent, which is
indeed very small.
Two tramps figured in Justice
Stacy's court yesterday morning, hav-
ing been arrested by the city marshal
the night before for stealing. Their
names were William Burns and James
Russell, and each had appropriated
pair of shoes. the former from John
Bandelin and the latter from F. W.
Kurzweg. A sentence of twenty days
in the county Jail was given in each
case.
Main street on Yesterday morning
presented the appearance of having
been traversed by hoodlums the pre-
vious night. Dry goods boxes were
found in the middle of the street, signs
displaced and other evidences Of mis-
chief were seen. Doubtless there is
great fun in these manifestations of
rovdyism, for those engaged in them,
but if the perpetrators could be de-
tected and punished, as they deserve,
they would find there is serious side
to such business.
Among the appointments sent to
the senate on Monday last by the presi-

son of Prof. A. F. Ernst, of the North
western university of this city. Prof
Ernst is friend of Senator Villas. SEN
ator Villas has the ea1, in fact both ears,
of the president, and has dictated this
appointment as matter of course.

the world over, and other things are as
plain as the nose on mans face, there
will be those uncharitable enough to
think that there is very close connec-
ton between the distinguished profess

and the selection Of his son for the
responsible position he has been given,
which tends to discredit the idea that
the father has been padding the Demo-
