COUNCILLOR ALLEN.
Coiored Man Wins Contest For Sea
Among Walcott's Advisers.

Boston, Jan. Sin spite OF every sort
Of q legal appeal. in the board of elecJic9
commissioners, the courts. and at last
the legislature itself. Isaac B. Allen, the
FIRST colored man ever holding such MI
office, was seated as councillor yesterday
by the Legislature, and Will for the cur
rent year be one OF Governor Wolcotts
advisors. Aliens margin over sullivan
was so small that a recount was at once
asked for: but while Sullivans gain was
over 200 votes. II was not enough TO elect
him. The courts were appealed TO, but
In vain, and, as last resort, Mr. Sulli-
van petitioned the legislature to SO be-
hind the returns and count $40 ballots
which had been thrc7,p out, and which.
he claimed, should have been counted for
him.
A special committee OF both branches
refused to canvass the votes for council
lors until the question OF Aliens election
had been settled. The matter was dis
cussed, and the committee announced its
intention OF having the ballots produced.
Later the committee reconsidered the
matter, and decided that IL had not the
power TO go behind the returns. and a
majority OF the committee reported that
the petitioner have leave TO withdraw.
The Democratic members. however, pre-
sented minority report, claiming that
the matter had been too hastily decided.
Both branches adopted the majority
report, and the oaths of office were ad-
ininistered to Councillor Allen.
At a subsequent meeting of the council
the governor appointed Mr.. Allen or
three committees. two of them OF con-
siderable importance.

Sleepy Town of Wells
Rudely Startled.
Experiments With Balloons
to Be Tried in War.
Farmers Find Large Holes In the
Earth After Shocks.

Wells, Me-, Jan. s.-This quaint oNd
town. which is mostly known as haunt
for fishermen. and which goes to sleep
regularly every fall, only TO be awak-
ened to lie and activity by the early
summer visitor. is fairly trembling with
excitement, and its inhabitants are
quite unnerved. All yesterday the shocks
of explosions, seemingly from dynamite,
were felt for long distance around.
Late in the day a committee OF VII
layers went 10 Black Creek, place near
Wells Beach, and about three miles from
the railroad depot here, TO investigate.
They returned with stories or large
holes in the earth and on the beach In
that vicinity which they judged were
made by charges OF dynamite. But they
could only conjecture as to the object or
the explosions, and by what means they
were accomplished.
Postmaster Harley Moulton says that
early yesterday morning two men
alighted at the Wells Beach station from
the Dover train, carrying with them
suspicious looking boxes. Cne man was
tall and OF dark complexion, the other
short, thick-set, with black curly hair;
in fact, both men are thought TO be Gu
took the road toward BLACK Creek, three
miles away Two hours later the shock
OF a big explosion was heard, and
excited much curiosity. Explosions were
| frequent, some of them being less no.
| ticcable than others. The same Snen who
were seen early in the morning were
again seen when they took train TO
| Boston. IL is said the experiments with
| dynamite were attempts TO demonstrate
| the feasibility of carrying explosives into
| the air by means of kites aud then drop
| ping them by electrical arrangement
when the kite is over the object the de-
! struction of which is desired. These ex-
| periments. If they are conducted by
means of kites, as ii is thought they
| were, give color TO the report that the
| Cuban insurgents were looking forward
to a new and valuable ally in the warfare
against the Spanish. Ii is known that
| an Inventor was In Lynn, Mass, recent
| ly, to secure the assistance of an electri-
/ clan 10 assist in the dynamite kite ex-
| pertinent, and he had promised his aid.
Newburyport, Mass. Jan. Sit was
| reported here on Tuesday that party
OF men, several of whom were thought
TO be Cubans. were here with the inten-
ton OF trying dynamite bomb expert
nicnts at Salisbury beach. but though
search was made for the party. il was
later learned that they had left for other
fields.
Lynn, Mass, Jan. THE report thai
Lynn electricians were engaged to con
duct experiments with dynamite-carry'
ing kites has not been credited here, bu
it is stated by an electrician that the
experimenters had gone to New Hamp
shire TO test the kite.

Mind and Health.

The mental condition mas far more
influence upon the bodily health than
Is generally supposed. 1t Is no doubt
true that ailments OF the body cause
depressing and morbid conditions Of
the mind, but 1t is no less true that
sorrowful and disagreeable emotions
produce disease In persons who, unin.
fiuepced by them, would be In sound
health; or, II disease is not produced
the functions are disordered.
Agreeable emotions set In motion
nervous currents which stimulate
blood. brain, and every part Of the sys
tenn into healthful activity; whilt
grief, disappointment Of feeling, ane
brooding over present sorrows or pas
mistakes depress oil the vital forces
TO be physically well one must, In gen
eral, be happy. The reverse is not al
ways true: one may be happy ant
cheerful, and yet be constant sufferel
| in body.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing. Hopkins . Company's Review
OF Trade.

The wheat market has every indica-
tion Of an upward tendency. 1t hard
ened steadily last week in the face OF
bank failures, and was only affected by
them temporarily. A good percentage
Of the traders were afraid to go into
the market, owing to the unsettled con-
dition OF finances in Chicago last week.
Local influences, however, are only OF
transient character, the market be-
ing governed more by foreign advices,
and also by the great strength of the
domestic situation, which overshadows
almost everything in the way of local
bearish factors. Had the market been
local one prices would have gone low
er, but the timely buying OF foreigners
offset the bearish influences, and made
sentiment bullish, overriding every
thing bearish. Enlgish traders who
were sharp enough to foresee their
wants early in the fall, and took adj
vantage Of it by buying them from
three to four months in advance, al
most before the American speculators
were aware of it, have come in the
market within week and taken mill
lions of bushels Of both cash and fu-
lures for shipment during the next four
months, while local traders were az a
rule afraid to take the buying side. 1t
is claimed by operators in position to
know that there is larger short inter-
est than at any time within sixty days.
The Northwest il short against its cash
holdings there. Foreigners have alb
sorbed the surplus wheat that is afioat
in the pit. 1t is difficult to buy any
large lines without sending prices up
rapidly, if any Of the recognized lead
ers are credited with being at the back
Of the orders. This leaves the market
in stronger position than ever, and
those who watch the pit operations
closely are confident that prices will
advance to 90c within the near future,
The visible stocks are $4,000, 900 bush
els less than lest year.
Foreigners expected to lead tn,
buying again next week.
