WOMEN SUCCESSFUL.
The Majority Was Only Two, but the
Ladies Are Proud.

The new Constitution gives all Deawar
women who own property the right to vote
at school elections and the ladies' of Ches-
void took advantage Of the opportunity.
There was quite contest between the ad-
vocates Of low-salaried teacher, and those
favoring teacher who was to receive
higher salary. The former were having
everything their own way when the fairer
sex took a hand Teams were hired, and
the ladies not only got all the votes of their
sex out, but by their persuasive argume nts
persuaded some OF the men to stand by the
cause OF higher education. The ladies
carried the election by two majority, and
they felt very proud of the victory.

A False Alarm.

"Who rang the fire bell on a recent
Sunday morning?" is the question that is
agitating certain circles in Elkton. The bell
sounded faintiy-iust two taps-and aroused
many enthusiastic ilremen from sound SUM-
Der. Their expectant ears failed to hear any
further sounds, however, and they turned
over. thinking they had been dreaming. The
next day Il number of flremen remarked to
each other that they dreamed the fire alarm
had been sounded and an investigation
showed that several convivial spirits had met
in the engine house at an early hour on Sun
day morning. and one Of them, after par
taking of considerable tire water, pulled at
the bell rope twice. His companions put a
stop to further efforts in this line.

taken out to the Yale and Columbia Ut
4 a. IN. this morning. the two cruisers be-
ing anchored at the light-ship at the
entrance to the harbor. The cmbarka-
ton of the troops began ut midday. They
were marched out of camp and down to
the wharf, where the steamers Commo-
dore Perry and Planter were in wait
ing. The men went ON board by the
cheering spectators and then by men
of other regiments, the two harbor boats
steamed down the harbor in the face of
Il heavy rain storm which was coming
up by Sumter. The work of trans
shipping the soldiers was accomplished
with dispatch and without mishap. BY
some mistake one company of the Sixth
Massachusetts was left on the wharf
when the steamers departed. Adiutant
Butler promptly chartered tug and
took them out to the transports.
General Nelson A. Miles and his staff
arrived in the city at $3.50 p. m., and
remained here but short time. At s
O'Clock General Miles boarded the light
house tender Wisteria and went out to
the Yale. This was in accordance with
previously arranged plans. 1T was stat
ed positively that the two ships would
sail south tonight. The Sixth MaSsa-
chuSetts is quartered on the Yale while
the Illinois men are on the Columbia. The
expedition numbers in all 1,720 men.
There are still in the city four thousand
troops and offers are expected from

heard to-day of the transports that are
said to have been ordered here.

A RIFT IN THE WAR CLOUDS.
1t Now Seems the General Belief That
Peace is Close at Hand.

Washington. July S.-There was a
continuation of peace talk to-day, and
other evidences in this line than those of
yesterday are coming to the surface.
Such for instance was the confirmation
by the State Department of the report
that the CadiZ fleet was returning to
Spain; since it is scarcely conceivable
that the Spanish government would
doom this last remnant Of their feet to
destruction at the hands of Watson's S
squadron. which in all probability could
head it off before it reached Cadiz. its
home port Therefore the assumption
is that the Spanish government calcu-
lates that at least an armistice precedent
TO peace will be obtained before the
ships reach Spain. An unusually deiin-
