OHIO CITY ELECTIONS.
Will Have Strong Bearing on Ma
tioua1 Politics.

CINCINNATI, April 2. = While the
municipal elections in Ohio tomorrow
are for local offices, yet they have
strong bearings on State and national
politics, and also on factional interests
in both parties. The municipal ma
chinery will have great influence In
the selection of delegates to the State
conventions to be held next month or
later, and the candidates for the Guber-
Material and other State nominations
are conducting aggressive canvasses
now in connection with the municipal
elections
The bearing on national politics is
seen in Senator F'oraker's presence and
interest in the course of events If
Republican Governor should be elected
next November who is unfriendly TO
the senior Ohio Senator that Governor
would no doubt be at the head of the
State ticket for his second term two
years hence, when members of the
Legislature are elected to choose the
successor to Foraker. And the friends
of the National Administration want a
solid Ohio delegation to the National
Republican Convention a year hence.
The Republican candidate for Mayor
of Cleveland, the home of Senator
Hanna is Robert McKisson, who was
the fusion candidate before the Legls-
lature in January of last year for SEN
ator against Senator Hanna 1t IS
stated throughout the State that Nc
Kisson is running for third term rot
for the Mayoralty alone, but also for the
purpose of opposing President Mck1n-
ley, Senator Hanna and others in the
Ohio State conventions this year and
next year, and of controlling the four
delegates from the Cleveland districts
and, if possible, other Ohio delegates
to the national convention next year
In other Ohio cities the factional lines
are less directly drawn. In Toledo
there are two Republicans running for
Mayor, while the Democrats have put
one candidate. In this city there Is
no election for Mayor, but much inter-
est is taken in the election of two mem
bers of the board of the city affairs,
which controls the local munlcipai
patronage The usual fight is being
waged by the Democrats and independ-
ent Republicans against George b. cox,

Joint Commission Likely to Settle the
Question Satisfactorily.
There Is Such an Understanding
Between the Three Powers as
Will Prevent any Disagreement
The Islands More Important

Commerce, Being in Line Be-
tween San Francisco and Aus

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The opin-
ion is expressed in official circles here
that the outlook for a satisfactory and
peaceful final adjustment of Samoan
affairs is decidedly hopeful. The state
ment was made to-day in well in
formed quarter that it is altogether
likely that the joint commission will
be able to conclude a settlement of the
Samoan question satisfactory to all the
Powers concerned, and that there is
such an understanding between the
three Powers as almost certainly will
prevent any disagreement, such as
would make it necessary to ask King
Oscar of Sweden and Norway, to act
as umpire.
The peaceful solution of this delicate
question, full of possibilities Of serious
trouble, is regarded as a triumph of di-
plomacy and as furnishing the strong
est kind of evidence of a desire on the
part of Germany as well as of the 9TH
Ier Powers to maintain the most annie
able relations with the other Powers.

ing a jury was secured and the plain
tiff's case was presented to the jury.
They a11ege that the death of Tabor
resulted directly from failure of the
employees having charge of the train
to regard the signals of the company.
The plaintiff asks for, SIS, 900 damages.
The defendants in the action are rep
resented by John T. and John K. Fish,
of Milwaukee, while the case of Mrs
Tabor is being conducted by A. E.
Buckmaster of this city, and Cyrus
w. Heren, of Chicago. AS soon as the
evidence had been presented by the at

nounced that they would not introduce
any evidence in the case, but made a
motion that the case be sent to the
jury with instructions to enter YER
dict for the defendant on the grounds
that the plaintiff has not showed by
any evidence that the accident which
resulted in the death of Tabor had
been the result of any negligence on
the part of the company, as alleged in
the complaint.
This motion drew a storm of protest
from the attorneys for the plaintiff
and when the case closed at noon the
questions brought out by the motion
were being discussed.

grounds that the plaintiff had not
proved negligence on the part of the

AN UGLY BLAZE.
Planes Do Great Damage to the Residence
of Jacob Dcnig on Maple Street.

of Jacob Dcnig on Maple Street.
The residence of Jacob Denig, Ill
Maple street, was the scene of very
serious fire at O'Clock Wednesday
evening and when the fremen had
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
the house and the furniture in it had
been damaged to the amount of nearly
$1,000. The fire originated in the sec
ond floor of the house, which was oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Schott.
Mr.. Schott was away from home at
work and Mrs. Schott was busy pre-
pairing the evening meal. She desired
something for the supper and went to
the store, to get it leaving lamp burn
ing on the table in the kitchen. When
she returned a few minutes later the
entire second floor of the house was a
mass of flames. She shouted for help
and an effort was made to extinguish
the flames before the department was
called out. When the department ar
rived the fire had been communicated
to the roof and the lower part of the
building was also burning in places.
After the fire was extinguished an ex-
animation of the rooms on the second
floor discovered the fact that the lamp,
which had been left sitting on the
table, had been overturned and had
been broken by falling on the floor. 1t
is supposed that the kerosene from the
lamp was scattered on the floor and
when the blaze reached the oil it was
quickly communicated to the walls and
from them to the roof and the floor be-
low. The damage to the house will be
very large. The roof is a total wreck
while the walls are badly damaged and
will probably have to be rebuilt. The
torrent of water which was poured into
the building 1oosened the plastering IN
the rooms, and those on the second
floor at least will have to be rep1astered.
The house was insured for $1,000 IN the
Security Insurance company, and this
will undoubtedly cover all loss to the
building. The furniture belonging to
both the families in the house was
badly damaged and the less from this
source will probably bring the total
loss up to over $4,000. The insurance
on the furniture belonging to both
parties is sufficient to cover the loss.
The members of the fire department
deserve great credit for the way in
which they handled the fire, and had it
not been for their timely efforts the
building would have been completely
destroyed.
