BILE to meet the conditions presented by the

the result of the indignation felt in

his preaching has caused. II is said

it, TO the living God" 1t ia also said that the
commands OF Elder Higgins. which are i'm
plicitly obeyed by his disciples. have caused
trouble in family relations. and that in one or
two cases children have been tied up and
beaten to drive out imaginary demons.

ago as a lay preacher of the Methodist denom-
nation. About four years ago he took UP

tion and holiness, and introducing new
rites and customs among his church people.

WOMEN CtRRY NEW ORLEANS.
Their Work and Their Votes Put Through II
Special Tax for Sewers and Water Works.


NEW ORLEANS. La. June Ca Special tax
election was held here to-day. the first OF its
kind ever held in New Orleans The cleo
ton was to decide whether the property hold
ers OF the city would tax themselves over and
above the State and city taxes. for forty-two
years, to raise the necessary funds to drain and
sewer the city and to provide municipal water
works. New Orleans Is the only large city in
the Union answered. and the prevalence OF
disease here is attributed to that fact The
city is also without any complete drainage sys-
TEN. and is therefore subject to rain overfows.
The campaign for sewerage. drainage and
water,works has been under way for nearly a
year When 1t opened there seemed little hope
OF success. but the cause has grown stronger
and stronger. especially since the women took
1t In hand organized an auxiliary sewerage
and drainage committee and made thorough
canvass OF the city The Constitution allows
only taxpayers to vote at the election and the
election machinery was very complicated. To
levy the tax required that majority OF the
voters and majority OF the assessed property
owners should vote for 1t. Corporations are
not allowed to vote. but women owning prop
erty voted for the first time In this city. either
in person or by proxy.
The returns are coming In lowly o-night. as
the vote Is difficult to count. There seems to
be no doubt OF the success Of the drainage and
sewerage tax by an overwhelmingly large vote
Returns from the Fifth ward show 1876 votes
for tax 81 against it Fifteenth ward, 303 for
the tax. 10 against it. The indications are
that over 10000 taxpayers have voted in
favor OF taxing themselves for drainage
and sewerage, against about $50 against. and
$120.000.00O OF property for the tax, against
$1.00O.O0O opposed to 1t. Although it rained
nearly all day. about 5000 votes are credited
to the women voters. OF which number 800
were cast in person. the others by proxy. 1t
is generally conceded that to their aid in the
campaign and at the polls the success OF the
election has been largely due.
The tax will probably produce between S25.-
100000 and S35.000.00O. which will be suff1-
cient to fully drain and sewer New Orleans and
to erect the necessary water works. The cam
paign has aroused the deepest interest here.
and is believed to mean the protection OF the
city against malaral and other fevers now
common here. Anumber OF large investments
were dependent upon the success OF the tax.
