RESULT Of THE PRIMARIES
Mr.. Frank V. Evans the Nominee
for Mayor
AND HIS MAJORITY Is 626
The Vote Was Heavier Than in the Previous
City Primaries.
NO DISORDER AT ALL MARRIED THE DAY
A Brief Biographical Sketch of the Nom
inee - Personnel of the Board of
Aldermen and of the Ex-
eotive Committee.
NO DISORDER AT ALL MARRIED THE DAl

The city democrats have chosen their
leader in the municipal election in the
person of Frank Vallaton Evans, and
with him as running mates strong and
representative body of aldermanic tim
ber.
The city democratic executive commit
tee, after calm and deliberate action,
adopted a plan for selecting the candi-
dates, named a subcommittee to carry
out said plan, and the results have been
fully up to their most sanguine expecta-
tions.
The managers were selected by the op-
posing candidates for the mayoralty
nomination and verified by the sub-com-
mittee. Reliable men were chosen to aid
them and to the credit of all, be it said,
they performed their work impartially
and well.
The day passed off quietly, and though
the full strength of democracy did not
turn out the result shows a marked in
crease over previous primaries.
The polls were opened on time and
closed at the stated hour. When the re-
suits were announced the vote for the
mayoralty candidates stood as follows:

DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY PUT AT 10000

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 6.--The election
in Florida today passed off quietly, but
the meagre returns SO far received indi-
cate that a very light vote was cast. The
election was held under the Australian
ballot law, and reports show that demo-
Gratis, republicans and populists alike are
dissatisfied with 1t. Only very meager
returns are being received. Official re-
turns will not be in until tomorrow or
next day, but estimates tonight place the
democratic majority at not over 10000,
and it may fall considerably below that
figure. There were three complete state
tickets in the field-democratic, republic
can and populists-and the prohibition
lists had candidate for governor. 1t
was the first time the republicans had a
ticket in the field since 1883. The light
ness of the vote is attributed to the new
election law, and to the recent storm
which swept the state.
The republicans will probably have
four and the populists six members of the
Legislature out of a total of 100. These
elect a successor to United States Senator
Call, and it is not likely that he will be
returned, although a silver democrat will
undoubtedly be chosen.

AN APPEAL FOR AID.
Citizens of Cedar Keys Ask for Help-Ther
Distressing Condition Fully Portrayed.
Their Necessities Are imperative.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 6.-The Times
Union has received the following, with
request that 1t be given prominence by
papers using the United-Associated
Presses service:
Cedar Keys, Fla, Oct. 5.-The ruin and
devastation wrought by the late hurri-
cane has assumed such proportions that
the citizens of Cedar Keys find them
selves unable to cope with the conditions
confronting them, and they are forced to
ask aid from more fortunate sections, to
relieve some of the suffering and distress
now existing and that will certainly be-
come greater as the Scanty stores now on
hand become exhausted.
A meeting of citizens was held on Sun
day evening at the Episcopal church, and
after discussion of the situation a com
mittee consisting of f. e. Hale, w. d.
Finlayson j. B. Lutterloh, r. NJ Dozier,
W. r. White, G.. NJ Sistrunk, George w.
Meyers, r. 4. Walker and w. H. Ander-
son was appointed to take such action as
was necessary to place our condition be-
fore the world. The committee met on
Monday morning and organized by elect
ing G. M. Meyers chairman and w. II.
Anderson secretary The chairman and
secretary were authorized to prepare a
statement to be sent out to the public, and
also to look after and relieve such cases
of actual need as could be provided for.
The following address was adopted and
ordered sent out for publication:
'"ro the Public: The storm of Septem-
Der 20 left the fair city of Cedar Keys a
scene of wreck and devastation, her busi-
ness destroyed, her people impoverished.
More than a score of lives were lost and
more than a hundred homes destroyed.
Situated on an island, cut off from
communication with the world, with
every source of employment destroyed
and every line of business paralyzed, We
find the burden greater than we can bear
and for the first time in her existence Ce-
dar Keys Is forced to ask that charity
which she has always so freely given.
We have to feed the hungry, clothe the
naked and provide shelter for the home

which the destitute people can be put In
the way of making living Our churches
and our school houses are destroyed; al
most every business house Is more or less
damaged, while many residences are de-
stroyed and others damaged.
"The surviving dwellers on the small is
lands of the adjacent coast where many
lives have been lost and every house de-
stroyed will have no other source to look
for help than to Cedar Keys, and aid
must be given them.
with these appalling facts before us,
we appeal to the citizens of our common
country. and ask that they respond
promptly to the call. OF the press, we ask
Every dollar sent to either of the under

SOUTHERN WANTS TO INTERVENE
In the Suit of Mercantile Trust Company
Against the Baltimore g. Ohio.

Baltimore Nd, Oct. 6.-The Southern
Railway company filed petition in the
United States court asking to be allowed
to intervene In the case of the Mercantile
Trust company against the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad company for the pur-
pose of collecting a rental of $S9,25O. on
fifty-one miles of track between Stras-
burg and Harrisonburg in Virginia
The petition alleges thar the track was
leased to the Baltimore and Ohio in 1873
by the Virginia Midland and Great
Southern Railway company, and has
ever since been operated by the Balti-
more and Ohio at rental per year of
$S9, $50 The benefits accruing under the
lease have been handed down through
the Midland and the Richmond and Dam
vile railways to the Southern Railway
company.
1t Is alleged that the receivers of the
Baltimore and Ohio have power to pay
such bills. A demand was made March
Q for $44 625, then due as the first semi
annual installment, and another demand
for a like amount on September last
Neither demand has been met. The COM
pany wishes to intervene, as then 1t may
secure an order Of court for the payment
of rental.

exceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the local and state supporters of Bryan
in the series of remarkable demonstra-
tions given the Chicago nominee today.
The outpouring of people was extraordi-
nary. From the time Mr. Bryan reached
this city early in the afternoon until he
concluded his last address tonight he
was the center of the greatest enthus-
iasm. indulged in by countless thousands
of Indianans.
The committee in charge of the ar
raprements gave Mr.. Bryan chance to
test his physial ability to It's utmost for
it had provided for not less than four
speeches by the candidate In various
parts of Indianapolis.
The first meeting was at the state
house. This took place al O'Clock and
was followed Immediately by another big
political demonstration in font of Tom
1inson hall. Mr.. Bryan begged off from
making a third afternoon address as ar
ranged by the committee, compromising
by promising to give two speeches instead
of one in the evening.
Mr. Bryan's arrival from Louisy lille was
the signal for the beginning of the con-
tinued ovation. Excursiopsts from
along the lines of railroad helped to swell
the crowds on the streets along the line
of his progress from Meridian street,
where he left the train to the Grand
hotel, his abiding place while here. The
Bryan and Sewall Travelling Mems club,
the republican silver club and mary other
political organizations were in the escort
procession. The Cleveland club of In
dianapolis acted as MIR. Bryan's personal
escort and marched throughout the day
beside the carriage in which he sat with

c., November 25, 1850. He was reared in
Georgia and came to Birmingham in 1881
Mr.. Evans was journalist from the age
of Is until a short time ago, and during
his career in the field of journalism was
a success. In 1882 he was president and
general manager of the Daily Age. The

istration Mr.. Evans was a member of the
board of aldermen. He was afterward
elected city clerk and treasurer and
served In this dua! capacity for ten years
with the several administra tions. He
had during the above time become thor
oughly familiar with the affairs of the

mayor of Alabama's chief city.
Mr.. Evans Is at present in the broker
age business, in which, as with other un-
dertakings, he has been very successful.
Mr.. Evans has a large and interesting
