MADE A BIG GAIN
OTTO EOKSTEIN CARRIES THE DIS
TRICT WITH EASE
He Increased the Republican Ma
jority of Last Month About One
Hundred Per Cent-Light Vote
Cast on Account of the Snow
Storm-Vote in City.

Otto Eckstein was successful at the
special election held held yesterday to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
Of Major Lawrence.
He was not only successful, but tri-
umphantly so. His majority is esti-
mated to be 100 per cent larger than
that given to his worthy and lamented
predecessor six weeks ago.
The Populists intended to make a
cunning effort to beat Mr.. Ecksteia
through Republican over confidence but
they did not do it. Republicans took
the advice of the Eagle and went to the
polls. Not, however, with that unani-
nifty that was expected, but they did
splendidly considering the weather
and the Christmas snow storm which
compelled many, particularly those at a
distance, to stay at home
80 lar as heard from the Republican
ma1orlt1es have been largely increased
since the general election held last
month In every precinct There was
more than half vote cast and Mr.
Eckstein increasing the aggregate ma
Jorlty fully 100 per cent under such cir
cumstances is wonderful record His
ciean record and personal popularity
as wen as his liberal views were ma
terlal factors in his signal success.
Inc special election was the first
test or strength between Populism and
Repubiicanlsm in the state, since the
November landslide, and the result is
certainly very gratifying. 1t complete
ly explodes the theory of the opposi-
tlon that the recent landslide was the
result OF the unconsidered Judgment Of
the people during the excitement of
financial distress. They said it would
not be permanent and that it would be
dinerent when the people began to re-
meet There has been plenty time for
reflection since and the people in the
slxty-seyenth district, at least, not on
ly seem to be of the same opinion that
they entertained in November but more
pronounced in it by one hundred per
cent Mr.. Taylor the gentleman who
ran against Mr.. Eckstein, is said to be
a man of clean record and a worthy cit.
lzen, and hence there was no falling off
from his support On that account.
which Is further evidence that the
people are more than ever convinced in
the adaptability of Republican prinei-
pies to the government of nation, state
and municipality.
Mr.. Eckstein is to be congratulated
on his success and doubtless he will ap-
preciate the support he received from
the people when he becomes a factor in
the making of laws for their govern
ment and their protection.
There was no excitement around the
polls and very little of the red tape seen
at general elections.
The result in the city is as follows:

FOUND GUILTY.
Asa Archibald Sentenced to Jail for Steal
ing Two Overcoats-Other Cases in the
Municipal Court.I

In the Municipal court yesterday morn
ing after the arraignment of James
Lewis, as reported in another column.
Asa Archibald. of Turner's Island, was
tried for his alleged theft of two over
coats from the cattlemen in the Boston &
Maine car.
Patrick F. Murphy testified that he
was a stockdrover, and was on the Bos-
ton & Maine train, bound east from Port
land Monday night. He saw Archibald
when he got on but did ont see him
when he got off. He had known him for
other cattlemen. They missed the coats
after the train left the Knownothing
station at Scarboro.
Dennis Meaher, ESQ.,, crOss-examlned
the Witness as counsel for Archibald.
Deputy Sheriff Charles A. Plummer
took the stand and testified as to
his going, to Arshibald's mother s
the way back over the bridge
he refused to answer questions in regard
to the overcoats, and threw the bundle
of papers over the bridge into the water,
as previously stated.
Young Archi bald testified tina he went
home to Turner's Island from Portland
Monday evening. He saw the drovers on
L.
on the outside platform. They l were
there when he got off. He did not take
any coat, though he saw several OF them.
He went to bed about fifteen minutes
after he got home. Judge Gould's cross
examination brought out the admission
that he did say to Sheriff Plummer that
the police were after him.
Mrs. Archibald testified that she never
went to bed while one of the boys was
out. Her son came home that night be-
fore eleven O'Clock. He certainly
brought home no coat or bundle, to her
knowledge She did all she could to
help Sheriff Plummer in his unsuccess-
ful search for the coats at her house.
MIR. Meaher argued that there was IN
sufficient evidence to convict Archibald.
Judge Gould ruled that Archibald had
the exclusive opportunity, according to
the evidence, that the two strange aen
were not seen by the drovers, that there
was ample time for Achi bald to conceal
the coats before going into the house.
and that he should find him guilty.
He was sentenced to 60 days in the
peal. Archibald was notified to furnish
bonds in 5000.
The two boys, James Anthony and
John Coney. arrested for stealing Or.
Huntington's horse, were sentenced te
80 days in Jail.

last night, when he heard great noise
in the street. On running out he found
two men fighting. He pulled one mar
away and Edwin Gullivan took care OF
the other man. In doing so they got in.
han hor mr.

the men SIS and one-half costs each and
suspended the sentence.

ing a train of 10 cars, which are run
to Bangor, st. John and the BrlSlsn

ALONG THE WHARYEs.
The Vilora III. Hopkins in Bad
Plight.

Extra Difficulty in Repairing Her Damage
That strike on Alden's Rock Very Elk
pensive-A Very Successful Fishing
Trip.
The bark Vilora H. Hopkins that ran on
to Alden's rock, laden with lumber and was
towed to her present moorIng at Sturte-
wants wharf, waterlogged, is in condition
that causes a great deal of dlmculty TO
render he1 seaworthy again. Her cargo has
not yet been removed because the Work,nen
have reached that portion of it that is IN
der alter. She cannot be pumped out De-
case she leaks like sieve, and it is good
deal like trying to pump out he ocean.
However, the owboats Salem and Eann lie
c.. attempt ed it the other day and in one
hour and a half gained on the leak one foot.
BuE as his was costing the vessel VA an
honr, it was aba ndoned. A diver, who came
down from Boston to examine he leak pro-
nOuunced 1t SO bad that it could not b re-
And ii is just here where the difficulty
lies. Waterlogged the vessel draws Is feet
of water. The Marine railway can only
take a vessel drawing fifteen feet. The big
dry dock which is in a ruinous condition
and hasn't been used for years. could ac-
commodate vessel drawing twenty-one
feet. but the little dry dock, now in use is
confined 10 vessels OF eleven feet draught
and under.
The Portsmouth dry dock at the Navy
Yard, was applied to. but there is large
vessel upon il at present. The Boston dry
dock can only acc ommodate vessels OF SIX
teen and one-half feet. There was some
talk of towing the bark to New York, but
in her waterlogged condition this would be
a very difficult undertaking.
Those who know say that the bark coulo
be run into the mud with such force as to
stop the leak. that the water could then be
pumped out, the lumber removed and the
bark towed over to the Marine railway, the
tow boats pumping alongside all the time
and holding the leak so that she mi ght not
tie deeper than fifteen feet.
Whether this plan is followed or she Is
towed to New York, something must soon
be done, for if Jack Frcst should come sud !,
denly and lay his hands on that waterloggeed1
cargo in the hold, no human hands could
get it out till next spring. conservative
estimate is that that unfortunate collision
with AIdens rock will cost the vessel S50O0
before she is all right again..

niarkable trip. In just one week the crew

LYNoHINGs IN THE SOUTH.
Gov. Carr of North Carolina Proposes
a Remedy for Mob Law.

a Remedy for hob Law.
Raleigh, n. c., Sept. 8.-Gov. Elias
Carr has been a little vexed lately by
what he deems to be the unjust criti-
cisms of many northern papers upon his
course in the case Of Bob NJ. Atkins, col
ored, who was lately in danger of being
lynched for the rape of little white girl
in Alamance county The governor
called a special session because he saws
that he Is on the side of law, and asks il
the papers don't like it, what would they
have donel The governor proposes a
remedy Tor lynching in the south.
The following is part of an interview
which was rather in che shape of con-
versation with W. E. Christian, a we'll
known newspaper man, than an inter
view, as the governor is averse to inter
views:
1T was on July that the court was
called, was it not, Governor" The
court was called on the 4th of June, to be
held on the 9th of July"
Then the negro was captured on June
Az Eyes sir''
Then it was month or over before
they tried himm Yes sir, more than a
month"
Then he was hanged two weeks after
court Adjourned" Zone month after his
sentence"
Did he apply for pardon at all?" "No
no application for pardon"
"Of course, you have read all. theicom-
ment in northern papers on lynchings in
the south; Joel Chandler Harris wrote
quite paper in the Forum about it2'
did not read it, but | heard it spoken OF. :"
What do you think will be the ulti-
mate remedy that we will have to have
in the south as to rape between the
races" Il think we are having the rem
edy now, sir, in having as speedy a trial
| as possible, and to remedy the matter as
much as possible, | would suggest that it
will be advisable to confne these rapists
! in the penltentiary at once, as soon as
/ they are arrested, until a court of
justice can be held, and give
them fair trial. That would put them
beyond the reach of lynchers."
"Yet, by what law can they get at
that"
well, we can have some special legis-
lation, but the law will provide for that.
[ would not hesitate at all to permit the
rapists to be taken out of the peniten tiary,
but would suggest as remedy that
some legal action be taken in regard to
this by the next legislature"
you believe that that would do away
hereafter with all the lynchings?" mo,
sir, do not; can't say that but | say it
would &c SJ6p IN the flgnU direction TO
protect the mans life from lynching if he
is put in the penitentiary right away, or
as soon as possible, and given a speedy
trial as possible
1t is exceedingly fortunate for the
white women of our country that those
men that are rapists don't read the north
ern papers, or they would MISTAKE the
comment of the papers as indorsing their
course"
AT
in the south, Governor, it seems to me-
Bishop Haygood took a stand against
lynching out and out, and Joel Chandler
Harris said that there were class of
people in the south who were in favor of
it. l suppose you would stand by the law
out and out against lynchingln Il would
stand by the law out and out against
iynching. I want to do nothing that will
encourage lynching in any shape or
form
