ToDAY's ELECTION.
Shall the Two Propositions Be Answered
in the Affirmative?

Today will be election day when
the voters of Portland will vote upon two
questions. One is whether the new city
charter shall be adopted 1.-THE other whether
three women shall be added to the school
board. The campaign has not been a
lively one The ladies who have taken
the lead in the movement to add women
to the school board have secured express
sions of opinion favorable to it from a
large number of well known citizens. A
number of prominent citizens have ex-
pressed their views favorable to the
adoption of the new charter over their
signatures. Saturday there appeared a
document which gave the air of a politi-
cal campaign to the proceedings. 1t was
a printed circular, signed Citizen and
headed ''Vote no against the Charter. -
If Citizen had explained how anybody
could have voted yes against the charter
it would have added materially to the in
terest of his creed. The polls tomorrow
will be open during the usual hours.

SLIGHT BLAZE YESTERDAY.
In the Dipping Room at the Star Match
c. Factory.

About 1.20 p. m. yesterday an alarm
was pulled in from box 81 for fire at
the Portland Star Match factory on West
Commercial street. Chief Eldridge and
assistants and engines Nos. 3 and 4, were
quickly on the spot. The fire caught in
what is known as the dipping room in
the third story of the building, farthest
to the west. 1t has an iron floor and
there is an iron dome just above. The
fire was confined to this room. The de-
partment, however, made thorough inves-
tigation so that no sparks of fire could
be left in the ceilings so as to necessi-
tate their being again called upon. At
about 2. as pm. the all OUT was sound
ed.
There is an insurance of about $50, COO
on the property, divided among large
number of agents. In this city Ander-
son, Adams & Co., Dow & Pinkham and
Morse & Guptill have. policies. The in
dications seemed to be that the loss by
this fire would not exceed 1880; of this
amount the damage to the building will
be $500 and the stock would account for
the rest.
The factory is being equipped with
automatic sprinklers, but the work is
not yet entirely completed.
