JOSIAH QUINCY ELECTED.
Democrats Garry Boston by n Plural
ity of 4,376.


ity of 4,:s76.
The republican administration. which has
been in control IN Boston, for the past
eleven months, was ovcrthrown at the
polls yesterday. after one of the most spir-
tied and holly contested campaigns in the
history of local politics, and Boston return
ed to its old position in the democratic
column.
The republican candidate, Edwin Upton
Curtis, was defeated by 1876 plurality, and
ali branches of the city government are
Democratic, the republicans losing control
of the board of aldermen and school COM
mittee.
josiah Quincy, the democratic mayoralty
candidate showed greater strength than
was expected, and made heavy gains in
nearly every section of the city.
Over seventy-tive thousand voters went
to the polls, the largest number ever re-
corded in an election in Boston, and repre-
senting over five-sixths of the total regis
tration.
The campaign was fought on straight
party lines. the democrats making every
effort TO redeem last years defeat and their
opponents seeking an Endorsement of the
reforms enacted by them during the year.
The mayor elected yesterday will serve
two years, it being the first election since
the legislature doubled the length of the
ordinary term.
Mayor Curtis administration was gener-
ally satisfactory to the business men in the
city, and they gave him their support.
The democratic party, however, put their
strongest man in nomination, and was not
hampered to any great extent by divisions
in the party.
Josiah Quincy. the mayor-elect, is well
known throughout the eastern states. hav-
ing served as assistant secretary of state
during Mr.. Cleveland's present term and
also as d member of the democratic nation
al committee.
The city declared in favor of license by
over 1J.OUD majority.
The new board of aldermen will consist
of seven democrats and five republicans.
The common council is strongly demo-
cratic.
Annual municipal elections were held in
ten other cities of the commonwealth. The
contests i'll Chelsea, Lynn, Lowell and Wor-
cester were hard fought, and in each case
the y. p. A. figured largely. The republic
cans and the a. p. A. carried Lynn and
Chelsea, while in Lowell the secret organi-
cation met defeat.
The straight republican candidate for
mayor of Worcester was defeated by over
1000 plurality. The contests N New bury
port, Salem. Cambridge and Everett were
not fought on party lines. The republicans
won in Beverly.
The cities that voted in favor of license
were Newburyport. Worcester and Lowell
The other cities outside of Boston went no.

WRECK OF THE PRINCIPAL.
of the Only Survivor of the
Disustpr.

Henry Anders. the sole survivor of the
crew of the Inflated British steamer Prin-
cipia, the loss of which, off the Scotch
coast, was reported to the Associated Press
by cable on Monday, tells the following
story of the disaster.
He states that when off Cape Wrath
smoke was discovered to be issuing from
the hold of the Principal on November 49,
In a second the matches blew into the air.
All 2:30 o'clock in the morning the steering
gear got derangcd, and the vessel rolled
heavily in the gale, the crew being power
less to direct her course. They tried to
lower boat, having made up their minds
that it was useless to stand by the ship,
and that she was doomed but the davits
broke and the boat was washed away, with
che man in 1t.
Notwithstanding this piece of il-luck, 1t
was determined to attempt the launch of
the second boat, this seeming to offer the
only chance for saving the lives of those
on board, but the second boat went the
way of the first. the second engineer being
Washed away with her by the fury of the
waves. The two remaining boats had been
burned. and the hapless crew were thus
shut up on board the burning ship, with no
means of escape.
The engines were finally stopped for want
OF steam. the progress of the fire making
it impossible to watch the boilers. Six men,
who were forward in the ship jumped over
hodFu IN desperation, ana TWO others were
burned to death.
Later on, by great exertion, some steam
was obtained again, with which they tried
to suhiue the fire by the use of the steam
pump and with buckets of water But all
their efforts proved fruitless. Attention was
then turned TO trying To control the vessel
again, and they succeeded in getting the
steering gear repaired. The vessel was
then headed toward the northeast, with
the fire increasing in violence and mo-
mentarily threatening to spread to all
parts of the ship. AT midnight, on Nevem-
Der 20, the ship struck on a reef, though no
laHd had been seen TO give warning of the
danger. As she struck the foremost and
mainHSst went overheard with the vio-
lenCe of the shock. Rockets were there
upon fired as a last resort. with the hope of
bringing assistance that would take them
off the ship. They also tried to launch the
raft, but it was washed away with those
on board, who were unable to exercise any
control over it.
The vessel then sunk. Six bodies. incIud-
Ing that of Capt. Stannard, have been re-
covered.
