INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Town of Westerly Cannot Proceed With
It's Water Works Building Yet.

Late yesterday afternoon the town OF
Westerly was prohibited from proceeding
with the construction of the proposed
water supply system by temporary in
junction granted the Westerly Water
Works Company by Judge Carpenter in
the United States Circuit Court.
Some time ago the company was grant
ed a similar injunction In the State
Court, but eventually the Injunction was
dissolved and the com any was given
leave to amend it's bill to which, how
ever, demurrers were sustained by the
court. The company failed to make the
amendment, but filed bill in equity
in the Circuit Court for this district. This
was followed q few days later by another
bill filed By the Seamens' Friend Society
aud others of Portland, Me-, on the
ground that their interests in the COM
pany were being damaged by the action
OF the town.
The case was heard in the United
States Court last week and much to the
surprise OF the inha bitants OF Westerly
who doubted the standing OF such a case
in the Federal Court ii was recognized,
as is attested by the granting OF the pre-
liminary injunction.
The case will not come up again until
fall.
The attorneys in the case are as fol-
lows: For the Water Works Company,
Water B. Vincent, Joseph &. Ely, and
James M. Ripley, with William I. Lor-
ing and Roland w. Boyden, representing
the Seamen Friends Society and others
while Town Solicitor A. b. Crafts,
Colwell and Barney looked after the in
terests OF the town.

were gathered in the room waiting for
signs OF returning consciousness. None
came, however, and as the clocks OF the
city were striking the hour OF II Mrs.
Stowe died. Death came without q strug-
gle and the end merely appeared to be
final continuance Of the unconscious

Collections at Port of Providence.

The collection Of duties at the port OF
Providence FOR the fiscal year which came
to close ON June 80, amounted to 1892,
326.79. Last year the collections aggre-
gated s255, 50S.17. "A comparison OF Inese
figures shows a falling of of S23, Isl. 3S.
This is accounted for by the reduction OF

rate the enormous import OF wool netted

account, it Will be seen that the revenue
derived on imports compares fayorably
with the reports of past years.

MICHIGAN FOR M'KlNLEY.

Republicans Claim the State by Upwards
of 10000.
DETROIT, Mich, Nov 4-Chairman
Ferry of the Republican state commit
tee gives the following to the Associated
Press. Returns from "a out of 80 coun-
ties give II, 27O majority for Mckinley,
indicating a Republican majority in
Michigan of upwards of $4,000. These
counties do not include Wayne, Kent
or Saginaw, which will materially in
crease the Republican majority. Of
the 10 congressional districts the Third
and Sixth will be close, the remainder
surely Republican.
Pingree Also Elected.
It is evident that the Republicans
have carried Michigan by 10000 to 3d.
600, and that Pingree, Rep, is elected
governor by about the same majority.
Chairman Baker, of the Democratic
state committee declines to make any
statement at present further than that
the few counties from which he had re-
ceived returns show average gains for
the silver ticket of 800 over the Dem
ocratic majorIties of 1899.

Mckinley carries the state by 10000

has carried the day by good majorities.
Mckinley will 60 out of the county
with majority of to 1900 Clough
will have in the neighborhood of
200. The legislative ticket will
carry the county by some 500 majority,
while the majorities on the county
ticket range from 200 up to 1900. In
the face of the claims made by the
opposition this is grand victory and
shows that the people of Blue Earth
are well satisfied with the record that
the party through its representatives
has made in the management of
county affairs.

Big Crowds at The Saulpaugh
and the Republican Club
Rooms.
Sights and Scenes Witnessed
Last Night as the News
Came in.

The intense interest shown in the
result of the election was proved by
the unusually large crowds that were
out to hear the returnsTuesday night,
and who remained I'D until late
hour next morning. The lobby of the
Saulpaugh was solidly packed with
mass Of humanity that stood for hours
listening to the bulletins as they
were read from an improvised stage.
Bulletins that were encouraging to
the gold men drew forth cheers from
them, and those favorable to the
silver side were not less enthusiastic-
ally received. The best of good
nature prevailed.
At the Republican club rooms the
crowd, of course. was enthusiastic
over all news that favored McKinley's
election.
During the early part of the even
ing, the streets were filled with din
from hundreds of fish horns carried
by young people, but the police
eventually put a check upon this
nuisance, to the great satisfaction of
the public.
Those who did not care to 90 down
town to hear the returns were inform
ed of the result by the rockets fired
from the top of the FREE PRESS build
ing. The returns came in so uniformly
favorable to McKinley's election that
two rockets were fired at ten o'clock,
again at eleven o'clock, and an extra
number were set off at midnight to
announce McKinley's election. The
one o'clock signal was also carried out.
AS the rockets went up, cheers were
given on the streets.

NEBRASKA VERY CLOSE.
Democrats Claim Bryan Will Garry 1t by
$4,000.

$4,000.
LINCOLN, Neb, Nov. 4.-The bulle-
tins relating to the state and congress
sional ticket in Nebraska were unsatis-
factory and it was nearly impossible to
form an estimate upon them. Results
from scattering primaries were received
and the little group gathered in the
library of the home of the nominee
compared them as best it could with
the results of four years ago. The
members of the party figured that
Bryan would in all likelihood carry the
state. The returns on the congressional
vote as made to Mr.. Bryan were of no
value and nothing could be learned
from them. State Chairman Dahlman
of the Democratic state committee tele-
phoned from Omaha that the Mckinley
majority would be only about 900 or
800 and that he counted the state safe
for Bryan by about $4,000.
Further returns show that Bryan has
carried this state, that Taylor, DEM, is
elected governor, that out of 10 con-
gressmen are Democrats.
