POLICE! POLICE F.!
Portsmouth Equipped With
Trouble Preventers.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April 3. - Two
different forces OF policemen, the old or
ganization appointed by the Aldermen
and the new forces sworn in by the new
board OF police commissioners, are still
patroling the streets OF this city.
and it is not expected that
there will be any change in the
situation until next week when the
court will consider the matter. The
streets have been crowded with people
ever since the two forces have been on
duty but there has been no disorder.
Mayor Hawley still continues to refuse to
recognize the power OF the police
commission, while Judge Emery says
he will not recognize the old
police force and will not consider
any cases presented for trial by the force.
Chief Engineer Marden of the fire depart
ment has ordered the old force to retain
the keys TO fire alarm boxes and respond
in case of fire.
The new policemen are patroling their
beats without badges, uniforms or other
equipments, but have made 10 arrests
yet.

sparing no effort to elect its candidates.
bat those la position to know are conf
dent OF the re- election OF Hon. A. j. Cur
rier, the Republican nominee for Senator,
and his colleagues on the Representative
ticket.
The total number OF votes cast at 3p. m.
was 245, divided as follows: Republicans,
1875; Democrats, 80, and Prohibition, 80.
The Vote In Central Falls.
In spite of the disagreeable weather
there was considera BILE spirit shown at the
polls throughout the city. There is no
doubt but that the Republican
ticket will triumph in three wards
out of the five and IL is probable
that at least one of the other wards will
be carried by the Republicans. At
O'Clock 575 votes had been cast. Both
parties have carriages out and are doing
their best to get out full vote.
Johnston.
The vote at Johnston at 3 o'clock was
782, which is practically the same
as that OF year ago. The
Republicans are out in force, and there is
every indication that Senator Smith and
Representatives Kenyon and Bowen will
be returned.
Newport.

years, there being no activity manifest. The
vote polled thus far in very lig hts, there is

lican ticket will be elected with large
majorities.
Pawtucket.
PAwTUcKEr, April 3.-Tbe election
here is going on slowly, but the Republi-
cans are evidently having everything all
their own way, and there Is no
doubt that the entire General Assembly
ticket will be elected by majorities OF 200
and over. George Littleheld, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, is a resi-
dent OF this city and consequently
his vote will run away ahead
of his party, but no fears are entertained
by the Republicans that they will not
carry the city for both city and As
sembly tickets.
The vote on the question OF licensing
the sale OF intoxicating liquors is arous-
ing the most interest. The result
will be uncertain, but il is believed
that the no-license effort will
fail. The liquor element are making a
fierce fight and money is plentiful with
them.
Lincoln.
The interest in the election here is
chiefly confined TO the Republicans, and
the Democrats admit they are not in
the dispute at all. There will be
an increased Republican vote in Manville
and the election Of the Republican legis-
lative ticket In this town Is now conceded.
Bristol.
At O'Clock the vote cast in Bristol was
nearly 300 with the Republican ticket
way ahead as matter of course.
Thirth prohibition votes have been, cast
and about 200 are allowed for the Repub-
lican Assembly candidates.
Warwick.
The town OF Warwick is polling a heavy
Republican vote except in the
second district, where ex-Council-
man Duffy is showing more energy than
any other Democratic worker in the State
and he has his entire faction at the polls.
