II Deals Out Destruction and Per-
haps Death-serious Fire.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS, September
ia cyclone from the west struck this
city early this morning dealing out de-
struction on every hand, and perhaps
death in one instance. There were, OF
course. an immense number OF minor
accidents, trees uprooted, ETC., but soon
after daylight a particularly severe burst
caused damage OF more serious import.
About $50 clock a huge bolt OF light
ming descended from a cloud Of inlly
blackness upon the big cotton-shed OF
the Bennett mills. II ignited the In
flammable contents, and imperlled nearly
S,0oO bales OF cotton Of high grade
and long staple. IL took firemen three
hours 10 get the mad blaze subdued and
In all about $500 bales, valued at up
wards OF 10000. were injured. Much OF
this damage will be offset by the pro-
ceeds OF the sale OF the damaged cotton.
but II win still be a heavy loss. II IS
generally insured. The cotton house was
destroyed, and involved loss OF per-
haps 5000.
In the midst of the mill fire another
cyclone burst. characterized by terrific
wind and a torrent OF rain. The crowd
near the mill fire ran for shelter, and
about twenty OF them found IL in a new
building at the corner OF Coggeshail and
north Front streets. No sooner had
they entered than the wind took I'D the
building. raised the roof bodily, and the
whole structure fell with d crash. BY
miracle all but one OF the crowd in
the building escaped. He was Zoel Lii

CNew York Journal)
Never copper the Queen on the last
lurn" IS an expression general among
card-players; never predicate the result
OF a November election on the result Of
the September fight IN Maine Is u stand
ard rule among politicians. Why!
Since Maine went hell-bent for Cover
nor Kent in 1870 the one year in which
II was carried by the Wings, after
having been Democratic for Jackson
against Clay in 1892. and for Van Buren,
against Harrison in 1886, and aSain sue
cesslvely afterward for Polk in 1874. Cass
in 1913. and Pierce In 1852, It has been an
established and almost invariabie rule II
American politics that a preliminary sue
cess in Maine for one party In September
betokened a triumph for the other party
in November.
Prior to the Liberal Republican defec-
ton Of 1872. Maine had been a Republi-
can State. but the severance OF party
ties By Sumner Bird, and Banks OF
Massachusetts,. and the nomination for
the presidency OF Mr.. Greeley, q native
OF New Hampshire, by the Liberal Re-
publlcans and the Democrats as well,
with a large measure OK support from
the old-line Aboltlonists IN the New
England States, led many persobs 10 be-
lieVe that IN the Maine election OF 1872
the Democratic forces would DO strength
ened, while the Republicans claimed
that the Democratic defectons from
Mr.. Greeley would be foreshadowed
in the September election In Maine
for Governor. In the State election
preliminary to the previous national con-
test Maine had been carried by the Re-
publicans by a majority OF 1900. In the
September election OF ls72 the Democrats
were much encouraged by an increase
OF 1900 In their vote, and by the re-
duction of the Republican majority TO
1900. II was hailed by Democrats and
Liberal Republicans as the turn OF the
tide. but II didn't prove so. for. at tho
presidential election two months later.
Democratic hopes and prospects were en-
quilted in a humiliatIng defeat.
Prior 10 the presidential election OF
1873 the Republicans made great efforts
10 increase their majority In the State
election in Maine. which had been car
ried by them heretofore by $500. Their
vote in September broke all previous
records, attaining the total OF 1900. a
lead over the Democrats OF 1856. Not
withstanding this pleasant augary. the
Democrats In the succeeding election In
November carried New York. New Jer-
sey, and Connecticut among the Eastern
States for Mr.. Tilden.

publican and General Hancock the Dem

There was a vigorous and bitter r1rty
fight I'm September and the expectation
was general that the result Of IL would
point the way" In November. The cleo
ton took place on September 18Th, the
Republicans polling 1855 votes and the
Democratic-Fusion candidate polling 49,
III. OF the five members OF Congress
three were Republicans. two were not
Thomas b. Reed barely pulled through

were defeated. The result OF this pre-
llminary reverse led Democrats 20 be-
lieve that the triumph Of General Hsn-
cock was assured and he sent 20 the
chairman OF the Democratic State Com
mittee IN Maine q letter Of congratula-
ton, and bonfres We're burned, flags dis
played. and iollincation meets held by
the Democrats throughout the country;
but in Noyen Der a very different story
was 20 be told IA the election Of General
Garfield.
In the presidential campaign OF 1884
the Republican candidate. Mr.. Blaine
was q resident Of Maine, and special ef-
forts were made IN his behalf by his
friends IN the September election. The
Republican vote was increased 600 over
what It had been four years previous
and the Democratic vote fell 1900 But
this gain was without influence on the
result. and Mr.. Blaine actually received
in Maine as a candidate for the presi-
dency 200 less votes than had been cast
for General Garfield. though before the
Garfield election the Democrats had car
ried Maine and before the Blaine
election II had gone very strongly Repub-
lican.
In the September election OF 1855 in
Maine, when Harrison and Cleveland
were the rival candidates, the Republi-
can vote increased 1000 over the figures
OF 1884. but there was great rejoicing
over the fact that the Democratic vote
increased twice as much and In much
larger ratio compared with the preliml.
nary election OF four years previous, and
this gain was hailed by many Democrats
as significant, yet 1883 was a year Of Re-
publican, and not Democratic success
the defeat OF Cleveland by Harrison.
In the September contest Of 1880 the
Republicans made "a clean sweep" in
Maine. carrying the State by an In.
creased majority and giving Mr.. Reed
nearly 5000 plurality in his district.
where, in the contest preceding. he had
had only 400. The Republican State
Conventions throughout the country con-
graduated him and his party on the
preliminary triumph In Maine, and II
was taken as an Endorsement OF his
policy In Congress as speaker In count.
Ing a quorum" and IN support Of the
Lodge Force bill. the Mckinley bill and
other similar measures. Yet, two months
later. the Republicans met with the most
disastrous defeat In their party history.
In 1852 the Republicans carried Maine by
1900 in the September election; Harrison
carried It by li.000 In November.
