She Sank in Few Minutes
Havana, Feb. 1.-THE night of the
disaster TO the Maine light wind from
the southwest was blowing, and her
head pointed in a southeasterly direc-
tion. She was moored A about II metres
OF water forward, and drew about l3
metres aft. The Spanish cruiser Al
Ionso Alil. was about 200 metres from
the American battleship. The CORE
spondent of the associated press was in
the cable office filing d message when
the explosion occurred. He saw from
the window of that office a great col
umn OF fire shooting upwards and he
hurried to the wharf and to the quarters
of Admiral Mantocola. BY that time
the flames extended over the whole ship
and in a few minutes the Maine sank.
The explosion SO disjointed and twist
ed the battleship that her remains now
appear like pile of wreckage All the
upper deck structure. turrets and guns
are in the heap, and one boiler has been
blown out OF its place, and at o'clock
yesterday afternoon was still smoking
on deck. The foremast and bow of the
Maine have collapsed and now only the
end of her main mast remains above
water.
The boats of the Spanish cruiser Al
fonso XII. have picked up a quantity
of wreckage. including boats and a flag.
and to-day three more bodies were
found in the harbor and taken to the

POST ELECTION NOTES.
II was an Unusually Quiet Election I'm
,SistersVille.

1t was a remarkably quiet elec'
ton in this city, and totally devoid
of the disorder which usually pre-.
walls on such occasions. An extra
policeman was added to the force
last evening, but his position was
a sinecure. There was no brawling
or rhetoric combats of any conse-
quence between those whom the
returns favors and those on the
losing side.
Considerable money was wagered
last evening, and as in the preced-
ing bets most Of the lucre was on
the result In New York state.
One bet of $500 even was made
by confident admirers of guberna-
torial?candidates in that State, and
another even wager of $Ioo each
was placed by two prominent busi-
ness men of the city. Various
small amounts ranging from one
dollar to fifty dollars were risked
on the results in the Empire State
and Pennsylvania, also On local and
congrt ssional candidates in this
State.
It Is a reflection on the citizens
that they did not exercise their
right OF suffrage yesterday. Many
instances of such delinquency came
under the notice of the Review re.
porter and these cases were not
confined to the more ignorant peo
pie either.

They have also elected Marcum for

Chairman Ohley of the State

democrats have elected ten of the
democratic candidates for the State
senate, not counting those who ran
for the senate in the Ninth and
Thirteenth districts to fill the places
of Pearson and Getzndanner, with
out these, with the two democratic
holdover numbers the democrats
will have twelve members for the
State senate. The lower house
will probably have forty democratic
members to 81 republican with
safe democratic majority on Joint

Ohio is republican and Pennsyl-

Swallow the prohibitionists. New

and the democrats gain several

Of course the Review feels pref

Mr.. Riggs. We did our level best
for him, and he has won. The peo-
pie will find him an honest pains

and one all will be glad he was

The unofficial vote of this county
which is believed TO be substan-
TALLY correct, is certainly very
gratifying to those who have been
fighting against the Bosses rule for
so many long, weary and discour-
aging times. Right will win all the
time, but the mills of the gods
grind slow many times.
There seems to be no doubt
whatever about Mr.. John B. Riggs
being elected as a member of the
county court by majority of over
one hundred votes. McElroy dis.
trict, which is the stronghold of
republicanism in this county here
totore, has changed over this time,
giving Riggs majority of fifty
eight, or near that number. 1t is
reported as having given Blair a
majority of IS, while others claim
I3 of a majority for Dovener.
Louis B. Hill made a splendid
run but Is probably defeated by a
majority of about 80 votes. Al
though later reports say he is elect
ed by a small majority. We be-
lieve however he is defeated but he
and his friends regardless of party
have made gallant fight and are
proud of the victory even In defeat
The election OF Riggs is assured
and he has won because he favors
license in some points in this
county. Like 1t or not this is true.

The result of the election in Lin
coin district, in this county, was
great surprise, both to the demo-
Gratis and republicans, for good
many reasons. In the first place,
more votes were cast in the munich
pal election than were cast at this
election. The republicans made a
effort to stop the vote going from
Hughes and Weekly, and the indi-
cations were that Hill would run
way behind Mr.. Riggs, but the re-
suit of the election shows that they
ran very closely, and the vote OF
Mr.. Hill was surprise.
AS to the district officers no In
terest was taken whatever, and
none of the candidates on either
side for Board of Education or
President wanted to run and were
around the city yesterday morning
electioneering against themselves.
The vote of D. H. Lacy and S. D.
Wells for constable was quite a
surprise, showing that these gentle.
men were quietly and successfully
at work.
