LUCKY WILL
To be Collector of Customs at Bara
Goa Cuba.


Mr.. Will E. Racelhas been rendered
and accepted the appointment OF col
lector OF customs at Bsracoa Cuba.~
Baracoa is situated on the Northern
Coast Of Cuba, in the state of Santiago,
aud is about one hundred miles from
the eastern end of the island little to
the northeast of the position of the
town OF Santiago. Baracoa Is quite a
little city and the records chow that
its custom proceeds are comparatively
large.
The position to which MIR. Race is
appointed is better than the one he
holds here with the government and
he will have more time to himself, be-
sides being able to look on the outside
for investment.
The salary of the new position is
81, 800 year and there are perquisites
which will bring the amount up to q
nice little sum.
While the } matter 'of securing
the place has been going on for some
time still the main part OF the work
was done yesterday afternoon by wire
About 1870 Mr.. Race received tele'
gram asking him il he would accep,
the position. He answered that he
would. Then came another message
asking when he could go to Cuba
and he answered saying by the LIST oi
November. Then finally the last one
came later saying that his appoint
ment would be made today and to be
ready to report to the treasury depart
ment on the lst.
While Mr.. Races many friends are
glad to see him receive the appoint
meut still they will regret his leaving
FL Paso and wish him all the success
possible in his new field of labor.

Business Change.

The venerable VIM. Massey who has
so long and ably conducted the peanut
and popcorn stand on the corner of San
Antonio and North Oregon streets, has
disposed of his entire interest in this
lucrative business to Mr.. Ed. Benchley
an old railroad man, whose usefulness
in that line has been cut short by the
loss of leg. No change whatever will
be made in the conduct of the business
though Ed. thinks he can slightly in
crease the size OF nickle packages
Children are especially invited to call
and pat Ed. on the back.

MORE SOLDIERS .fRRIYE. The s'Red Cross' Brings Thirteen Sick
 Men.

The Red Cross brought thirteen more invalids to be cared for at the general hospital, the boat arriving about o'clock last night. The men four of whom are seriously sick-are as follows:
 Frank Sands. New York city, Troop H, Second Cavalry.
 Jacob J. Hanhart, Oklahoma Territory, Company F, Twenth Infantry.

 A very pretty tribute was paid the soldiers in the hospital by the Sars- fields as they marched by last night. Taking a march to the Howard avenue engine house, the company very cour- teously and gallantly gave cheer for their brothers-in-arms. The latter-as many as were able--crowded to the gates in astonishment.

NO CHIEF YET APPOINTED. Fire Commissioners Deferred Action
 Last Night.

The board of fire commissioners held an adjourned meeting last night and it was alleged to be because of the fact that it was an adjourned meeting that a permanent superintendent of the de- partment to take the place of w. H. Hubbard, deceased, was not appointed. It had been expected that the appoint ment would be made last night and one of the commissioners stated the night before that it would be made It was expected beyond doubt that Fire Marshal Fancher, now acting superin- tendent, will receive the appointment, and the reason why the matter was deferred last night Is inexplainable. The only business outside of routine done by the board last night was the appointment of President Ames and Acting Superintendent Fancher as a committee to make estimates for the department for the year 1899.

EUROPEAN MERCHANTS IN MEXICO
Bitter Feeling Against Amertcans-Feal
 Losing Mexican Trade.

Losing Mexican Trade.
 City of Mexico, Sept. 6.-There is a very bitter feeling here among the leading European merchants against Americans since the successful close of the war in Cuba and the Philippine Islands, being wholly based on fear of the rising prestige of Americans and the fear on the part of Europeans that they will lose the trade of Mexico. The general sentiment among men in trade here is hostile to the growing American commercial and financial influence and this feeling is manifested in many ir- ritating ways. President DiaZs admin istration is friendly to the Americans and this fact enrages the newspapers in opposition to his government, which are owned or secretly subsidized by res ident Europeans. These papers are do- all in their power to excite the bitter feeling against the United States. The government papers are friendly to the Americans, as are the mass of the peo- pie. The country was never more pros porous and the anticipation that Amer ican capital is going to invade the coun- try in large amounts and compete for the business of the old established con- cerns makes them exceedingly anxious.

ed as perfectly reliable and safe. It would seem from this that the swift ness of the current was underest-i mated. ...
 Later reports from Cornwall hospital says thirtytive men have been taken out of the river at the International bridge wreck and transferred to the hospital. Eighteen of them have since died. The latest information concern ing to-day's tragedy makes it proba- ble that the death list will reach fully thirty. As far as can be learned eigh- ty-seven men were on the payroll, of whom eighty-two reported for work this morning. Of this list only thirty eight have actually been accounted for. Allowing that some of those unac- counted for will turn up the list will in all likelihood reach thirty. Among those thrown into the river was the foreman, Thomas F. Brady, whose home is in Pottsville, Pa. He has not been accounted for up to late hour tonight, and is supposed to be in the bottom fthe river. All efforts to get a list of the names of the workmen and those missing have proved futile as yet Everything was in state of great excitement and the effort of all was to care for the injured ones and get them to Cornwall hospital as fast as possible. Just before dark the dead body of an Indian laborer was picked up on the Cornwall side. There was only a slight bruise on his forehead He probably was stunned by the fall and drowned before help came.

THE FREMONT ELECTION,
Republican State Ticket Elected-In- crease in Democratic Representa- tives.


 White River Junction, Vt, Sept. G. In the regular biennial election to- day the republicans elected their en- tire ticket. Every candidate was fa- vored with a substantial majority while the state senate and house of rep resentatives will be overwhelmingly re- publican, although there will be more than twice as many democrats in the house of representatives as there was four years ago. The republican majority for governor is not as large as that received by Josiah Grout dur ing the presidential election of 1896 but compares favorably with the aver age of off years. The congressional vote in two districts does not mater ially differ from that of the regular state ticket, yet in several towns Smith leads the congressional candi- dates. The result of the election is not wholly gratifying to the republicans, while the democrats express themselves as satisfied with their vote. The re- publicans were anxious to have large vote polled for the reason that the re- suit is a basis for representation in the next state convention and that the party wished to give the national ad- ministration a strong endorsement Their efforts have been only partially successful and for an off year 1t is not likely to be above the average. To- days election was purely home af- fair, local issues wholly absolving the attention of voters and in quite a num- Der of towns there were hard fought battles over the election of represen- tative to the legislature. The full re- publican ticket elected is as follows: The returns from 134 towns up to midnight show the following for gover- nor: Smith, rep, "A, 731 Moloney, dem., g, 9,933; Wyman, pro-, 645. Smiths plu- rality, 14,73S. Majority over all. 14,093. The same cities in 1894 gave Woodbury, rep, 26,675; Smith, dem., 9,493; and all others 790. Woodbury's plurality, IT, 132; majority over all, 16,392. The whole republican state ticket is elected. The state senate is practically solid repub- lican, while Congressmen H. H. Powers and William M. Grout are reelected by substantial margins
 The ticket is as follows: c.overnor-Edward C. Smith, Steuben. Lieutenant governor-Henry c. Bates, St Johnsbury.
 Treasurer-J. L. Bacon, Hartford, Secretary of state-F. A. Rowland, Mont. pelier.
 Auditor of accounts-O. M. Barberm, Ar lington.
 Congressmen-First district, H Henry Powers MOrriStown; Second district, Will. liam W. Grout, Kirby.
 The democratic candidates for con- gress were:
 First district-Herbert E. Brigham, Ba. kersfield; Second district, Charles A. G. Jackson, Montpelier.
 The prohibitionists did not nominate congressional candidates.

V. ar- rived from Camp Alger, where the reg iment is stationed, tonight in spec ial car attached to the train that reaches here at 6:20 D. m. Eight of the men were so seriously i'll from ty- phoid fever that they were at once talk en to the Hartford hospital in ambu- lances, which were in waiting, while the remainder returned to their homes or were taken care of by friends. There were a great many people gathered about the station on the arrival of the train, and as the present condition of the men was noted and their condition of but few brief months ago when they volunteered was recalled, it prov ed a most impressive object lesson.

ANo7HER ACCOUNT OF DISASTER.
Main Facts of Foregoing Story Com
 frmed-Men on Payroll.

firmed-Men on Payroll.
 Hogansburg, N. r., Sept. 6.-At about noon to-day the two south spans of the bridge of the New York and Ottawa road, now under construction across the St. Lawrence river, about three miles above St. Regis, Indian Village fel without warning, with about sixty men at work on the bridge all being thrown into the river, some sixty feet below. Over thirty men were picked up and taken to Cornwall hospital. About twentyseven are now missing. The bridge consisted of three spans, of which two were completed and the third was nearly completed when the south pier gave way at it's foundation, causing both spans to fall into about sixty feet of water. The names of the killed and drowned cannot at present be ascertained as they were mostly from Pennsylvania, excepting a few Indians from the St. Regis district.
 The bridge was being built across the St. Lawrence river at the foot of Long Saulto rapids near Reinhart's Island. The water at this point is as swift as in any part of the river. The cause of the giving way of the spans is sup posed to be the washing away of one O fthe large piers. The pier in ques- tion was begun when the work was first started last fall and work was continued ali winter and finished this summer. The contract was in charge of Messrs. Sooy, Smith & Co.,, well known as extensive and careful con tractors in their line, and known to have been under instructions from the railroad company to build for Per mauancy." The pier had been accept
