THE MAINE ELECTION.
Powers Probably WIN Have e7,OO'
Majority.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 13.-Returns
from $50 cities and towns give Powers
Rep) 22,613; Lord (Dem.). 12.s63. Same
towns in 1894 gave Cleeves (Rep) 27,72S
and Johnson (Dem.) 1906. This shows
a net Republican loss of II per cent and
a Democratic loss Of per cent.
on this basis Powers will have about
27,S00 plurality.
The election throughout the state was
marked by comparative apathy on the
part Of the Republicans, who felt secure,
while the Democrats. taking perhaps a
little more interest, with an apparent
desire to make a better showing than in
1894 or 1896 put some vim into the cam
paign. the result of which was seen in
nearly every town.
The falling off Of the Republican vote
was, however, anticipated by the party
managers and while 1t was somewhat
lower than they anticipated, 1t gave
them no, anxiety, and the loyal men OF
the party readily explained 1t.
While the Democratic vote kept up
well with that of the last off year. 1894,
it must be remembered that the vote
that year was a falling of Of $4,000 from
the vote Of the previous off year 1890.
The state, Of course. elected a solid
Republican delegation TO congress. The
four congressman. all Of whom have at
tanned national reputation. had little or
no opposition, although strangely
enough Speaker Reed had a vigorous
opponent in his district. His margin
over Mckinney, who ran on the Demo-
cratic ticket. was. however, about that
of 1894, and showed the usual loyalty on
the part OF his constituents.
Mr. Dingley did not make a speech
during the campaign. combining his eff
forts to conferences with the commit
tees in the different shire towns. The
other two congressman, Boutelle and
Burleigh. did even less, so that it may
be said that there was never cam
paign in the state where there was SO
little said of national Issues.

It seems to be wei agreed by the city
officials Of Wilmington that the popu-
alton OF the city has remained practi-
eally stationary since 1898 and was about
10000 in 1897 Since the latter date IL
Is though It has begun to increase
again. with the revival OF industry.
It is 10 be noted that steps have been
taken Of late to protect tho water sup
ply from pollution. Two sanitary in
spectors were appointed in 1894 70 give
their whole time to the sanitary patrol
4 that part Of the stream within the
state. AT the start these inspectors had
no authority to cause the arrest of per-
sons polluting the Brandywine, hut In
1895 this authority was secured from
the Legislature and is reported as be-
ing salutary. although no arrests were
made that year and none are mention
ed in the later reports
Some years before the inspectors
were appointed, or in 1887, the city dl-
verted, by means Of 2O-inch sewer
the waters of two small streams, Rat
tlesnake and Crooked runs, from the
race 10 a point below the water-worlSs
Intake. About 1887 the city began the
construction Of a system OF lntercepting
sewers, which also helped to protect
the water supply, although In times Of
heavy rain the interceptor overiows
into the stream above the intake. The
sewage at such times Is, Of course, d.
uted with storm water and, as has al
ready been stated, the pumps are shut
down. Since 1887. also, lateral sewers
have been built with rapidity. the
water mains have been extended and
other sanitary Improvements have
been constantly in progress. Surface
wells have been abandoned with the
extension of the water service and
those remaining in use are less liable Ia
pollution as the sewerage system comes
into more general use Credit must
also be given to improved care Of ty-
pIhoid patients by physicians and
nurses and especially to the control OF

also. Is doubtless less responsible than
formerly for the spread of the disease.
In the practical absence Of analysis
Of the water. both before and since the
filter plant was established, only gem

city officials and residents regarding
the improvements in the physical
character OF the water. 1t seems TO be
agreed that the plant effects large

CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS.
Considered at a Meeting of the
Scranton Firemen's Relief As
sociation Held Last Night.

Last nights meeting of the Scran-
ton Firemens Relief association was
almost wholly devoted to discussing
the legitimacy of claims of firemen sick
or injured before the Incorporation Of
the organization and who have pre-
sented or will present claims as bene-
fiCiaries of the associations fund.
The claim of Chief p. j. Hickey, Of
the fire department, for $50 was ap-
proved and paid. He is the first men,
ber of the association to be paid for
injury or sickness. He was trampled
upon and seriously injured on June 80
by a team of fire department horses.
Twenty-one days previously the asso-
citation received it's charter Chief
Hickey was one of the most active
spirits in permanently orgNizing the
association and is its president.
S. B. Price, of Columbia county, was
injured on January / and was incapaci-
tated for twenty-one days. His claim
of s42 was presented and referred to
the board of directors and City Solic-
itor Mckinley, who is the attorney of
the association. for consideration. 1t
was the general opinion, however, that
firemen injured subsequently to the
date of organization, August 49, 1897,
but previous to the Incorporation, June
8, 1895 could not receive benefits.
Considerable depends on the disposi-
tion of the Price case from the fact
that the cases of many firemen sick or
injured subsequent to August l3, 1897,
as a result of fire duty, may present
claims. The total involved in these
cases amounts to nearly $4,000. None
of these possible beneficiaries. how.
ever. has presented a formal writer

FIRE APPARATUS AWARDS.
Joint Committee Unanimous in Its
Recommendations.

At meeting of the joint fire depart
ment committee of councils last night
a report was adopted recommending
that the contracts for a new chemical
apparatus and a combination hose and
chemical wagon be awarded to Charles
Il. Holloway, of Baltimore.
The report was adopted unanimously
and signed by all the members of the
joint committee despite the fact that
The Fire Extinguisher Manufacturing
company CBabcock), of Chicago, sub
mitted proposals lower than those OF
the Holloway people. The Bahcock
and Holloway bids were $l.409 AMI ST.
470, respectively, on the combination
wagon, and $1,175 and $1,000 on the
chemical apparatus.
While it was a foregone conclusion
that a majority of the committee IA
vored a Holloway award. it was some
what of a surprise that there was no
minority to recommend the Babcock
bids. The proposals were submitted
on city specifications. A third COM
pany, the Racine Fire Engine COM
pany, submitted proposals of si,i00 and
$1,000. The combination wagon is for
Relief company, of Petersburg, and
the chemical apparatus for Columbia
company, Of the West Side.
