Famine Threatened in Missouri and

{ Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. according
to specials, to the Times water famine
is impending in this part of the south.
west. In the immediate vicinity OF
Kansas City there has not been such q
scarcity of water for II years. All the
small streams and many of the ponds
in Jackson county are reported to be
dry, and the same is true all over this
section Of the country. Almost every
town in Missouri and Kansas is already
feeling the effects of the water famine.
Those which are coming out best are
those which have artesian wells. The
suffering among the farmers is greater
than in the towns, however. Many
farmers have for days been obliged to
haul water for miles. Stock as well as
people are suffering, and vegetation is
drying up. Unless rain comes soon
severe results NAV ensue.

MASSACH USETI'S,

Boston, Nov. 2.-At the annual state election to-day the reublicans, as usual, swept the state by a substantial ma- jority, electing their entire ticket as well as three-quarters of the members of both branches of the legislature.
 As was expected the apathy which marked the entire campaign extended to the election, although the stormy weather which prevailed all day prob ably accounted for a considerable DOT tion of the decrease in the vote. The tremendous majority which last year elected Governor Wolcott fell off con- siderably, while George Fred Williams, the democratic leader, also suffered, but not nearly as much. Last year the republicans after vigorous campaign on national issues rolled up vote of 25S,000 but such was the lack of inter est this year That the vote fell to 166,- 900, plurality of SS000rover Williams. The democrats, pursuing more wig orous course, received 7S,00O votes, as compared with 103000 last year, while the national democrats not only came within 100 of their 14000 vote of last year, but actually made gain of per cent. in ratio to the total vote of the state, and obtaining more than the necessary 3 per cent, will continue to hold a place on the state ticket. The prohibition and socialistic candidates split up the balance of the total vote this year of 260,000 as compared with 3S5,000 last year.

equals, if it does not slightly exceed,

equals, if it does not slightly exceed, that cast for Bryan.
 The polling came within about 5O,Ooo of the entire registration, which, con- sidering the weather conditions under which the election proceeded, was all that could be expected. The day was wet, foggy, ''muggy" to degree. It was such day as, in the years gone by, when voters lined up in the streets to await their chance to cast their pal lots, the judges inside, was called good democratic weather" Under the altered conditions, the voting being done within doors, this characterization cannot well apply.
 There was general suspension ol business, and nearly everybody who was qualified had the opportunity ot voting. It was only in the outlying sections that the exercise of the right of franchise was attended with any in- convenience.
 And at night the whole city was alive to the occasion. Bulletin boards searchlights, newspaper extras readers on the stages of scores of theaters, told the story of the election. The jubilant had recourse to the discordant fish horn for expression of their joy, while the saloons, closed during the hours while the voting was in progress, die business on a scale that promised tt compensate for the period of enforced thirst. The streets, both of New Yorl and Brooklyn, were crowded, noisy ant brilliantly illuminated The enthusiasm in the vicinity of Tammany Hall wa! particularly great.

THE HEALTH ESTIMATEs.
Hearing on Them Held by Board of Fl
 nance Last Night.

Hearing on Them Held by Board of EIS
 nance Last Night.
 The board of finance last evening gave a hearing to Dr. Fleischner, presi- dent of the board of health; Health Or ficer Wright and Clerk Bailey on the estimates of the@ health department. This department asks for $16, 768. 69 for for thirteen months Last year, $13,148 was allowed for twelve months. The only new item this year is one for the abating of nuisances. Heretofore the board of health has had not authority to enforce orders or the abatement of nuisances. When inspectors have re- ported existing nufsances, it was contu- macy to notify property owners to abate them. If the orders were not complied with the matter was referred to the prosecuting attorney, who wrote letter and the matter dropped there, whether the order was complied with or not.
 Now, however, section 97 of the char ter provides that "Said board shall abate nuisances at the expense of the owner whenever their orders are neg lected beyond a reasonable time, and said board shall for such acts have power to place @ lien on the property involved for the expense incurred in carrying out such abatement" From this it will be seen that all expense in- cured to the city in enforcing compli- ance with orders for the abatement of nuisances will be returned to the city through the liens to be placed on the property of those not carrying out or ders. A small appropriation will be necessary, however, to push the en- forcement of orders.
 The board of health estimates also iu- clude the salary of an extra inspector. There are at present three inspectors, but the new charter requires that there shall be a milk and food inspector. As the three inspectors have all the duties they can attend to, the appointment of a fourth inspector, for food and milk, is practically necessary. The inspec- tors receive a salary of $500 each per year.

SETH 1oW DOES NOT DEsPAIr.

 Yet Triumph.


 Yet Triumph.
 New York, Nov. 2.-The following statement was given out by MT. Seth Low shortly before midnight:
 Tt is not possible to discuss the re- turns of the election in New York city at the present moment without discrim- ination The year has been heavy democratic year everywhere. Tamma- ny has felt the advantages of this strong tendency.
 q think this circumstance shows the absolute necessity if it also shows difficulty, of separating municipal from state and national issues, if the cities are to be governed on their merits. In the light of events it is clear that the Citizens Union has made a gallant fight for principles that are vital. It is better to have fought and lost than not to have fought at all.
 "There is no need to despair of good government in the city when such struggle could be made against such odds. The returns show that there was no possibility of republican success in contest on party lines, nor is it easy to imagine a time when in this city there will be.
 "For the sake of the city greatly de- plore the result, and yet l would urge all whom my voice may influence not to lose heart. We have laid the found ation, it may well be hoped, for future successes, and ours is not the first cause that has suffered at the outset a heavy reversement.
 q bespeak for the new mayor and his associates the co-oporetion of all my supporters, as I pledge my own, in any effort they may make to administer the government of the city in the interests of the people,

4 TRIUMPH OF THE PEOPLE,
That is What Leader John c. Sheehau
 Calls the Result.


 Calls the Result.
 New York, Nov. 2.-John c. Sheehan gave out this statement when victory was certain:
 "The predictions that were made at Tammany Hall regarding the result of the great municipal contest have been amply verified. All over our great city a cosmopolitan people have stood shoul- der to shoulder and brought out a tri- umphant victory for the party of the people.
 "The result of their verdict is a seal of disapproval of the methods of ex- travagant and hypocritical republican reform administration. Henceforth in- tolerance and fanaticism will not be al- lowed to interfere with the rights of the people.
 "The lie has emphatically been given to those who have indulged in islander and personal abuse during the contest which has just closed. We have select ed for the first mayor of Greater New York a man of the people, whose every effort will be for their benefit, and the promises made in the democratic plat form will be faithfully carried out.
 Above all, Mayor Van Wyck will in- augurate wise, liberal and democrat ic government in place of the present costly, wasteful and illiberal adominis- tration His administration will stand for home rule and the personal liberty of the citizens in the practice of inno- cent customs and in pursuit of harmless pleasures"

PENNSYLTANTI,

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-Estimates from sixty out of sixty-seven counties in Pennsylvania indicate that Dr. $. C.. Swallow (prohibtion) has carried the counties of Blair, Clinton, Cumberland, Dauphin, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lycom- ing, Montour and Northumberland. The incomplete figures show an apparent plurality for Beacon, the head of the republican ticket, of 145,000, as against Haywood's plurality of 174,264 in 1895. The indications are that McCauley (re- publican), for auditor general, received about 17O0OO plurality.
 Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-Returns from one-half the wards of the city indicate the election of Colonel Clayton Mo- Michael, rep, city treasurer. and Hor- ace B. Hackett, rep, for register of wills, by majorities approximating 75,- 900. Judges Bregy, Wiltbank, Auden- reid and Ferguson were unanimously elected, they having been endorsed by both parties. The proposition to in- crease the indebtedness of the city $12,- 900, 900 for public improvements has been carried by about 10000. Under the provisions of the constitution, the city's debt could not be further in- creased except by the approving vote of the people. The vote is about 30 per cent. under that of last year and will not quite equal the 'off year" vote of 1885,
