No Additional Deaths Have Yet Resulted
From the Election Fights.
KANSAS CRY, April 6.-No additional
deaths have occurred as result of the
election riots in this city, in which one
man was killed and three others NOR
tally wounded.
The riot was the elimination of Bit
ter feeling which had been manifested
by action and words ever since the polls
opened In the morning. The two an
tagonistic dement's were solidly divided
in their choice Of candidates for mayor.
The aggressive support that each side
gave to its candidate during one of the
hottest campaigns ever known in this
city engendered strong sentiment of
bigotry. It was, therefore, in no ami
able mood that the workers Of the re-
spective factions came together at the
different polling places throughout the
city, and that these workers came ex-
pecting trouble to occur before the day
was over was apparent from the num-
Der of weapons that were drawn when
the first pistol shot was fred. The riot
that resulted so fatally was the eli

that took place at other points earlier in
the day between the game opposing re-

the Southwest boulevard II the Fifth
ward, very close to police station No. 3,
and those who took part in it had been
heated to the fighting temper by reports
that had been hourly arriving at the
station of brawls at other polling places.

An interesting experiment is about to
be carried out at Brighton in the shape
of the construction of marine railway
for the purpose of connecting Brighton
with the little village of Nottingham,
some three or four miles to the eastward.
The rails will be laid on tlhe solid rock
with concrete and at high water will be
covered by the sea, which, however, will
not affect the carriages, the latter being
supported ON a framework that keeps
them high and dry. At this part Of the
coast the cliffs are high, and the beach IL
practically inaccessible, SO that no boat
ing traffic will be inferfered with. The
cars will be moved by electricity, like
those now in use along the EASTERN fore
