THE STREETS OF BALTIMORE.

1.-THE subjoined poem. slngularly sug-

years ago-10 years after Poes death
in a New York newspaper. It purport-
ed to have been dictated to a spiritual
iStlc medium by the dead PUGET, whose
untimely death in these same streets
OF Baltimore" occurred on the 9TH day
of October, 1891
Woman weak and woman mortal,

within my soul was burning
When my star was quenched in dark

With a dull and dreary rhythm, with

While primarily the extension of the
label makes the union strong, It is this
very strength that begets the friendly

preserves the peace. The history Of our

Amos l.. Allen, Republican candidate
for Congress, in the LIST Maine District,
was elected, Monday, by a majority of
more than 1900 votes over Luther Nc
Kinney, the Democratic candidate
The surprising feature of the election
was Mr.. Aliens majority in York coun-
ty, which was 30S9 The majority in
Cumberland was 1868, which came
largely from the city of Portland. York
was Mr.. Aliens home county and it was
there that he was attacked more vigor-
ously by his opponants, and it was there
also that his friends rallied to his sup
port in large numbers. He even carried
the city of Biddeford by good margin.
Mr.. Reeds plurality in York, last
year, was 2236. In fact, the contest,
this year, was largely centered in this
county, as in Cumberland there was
little interest shown in the canvass, and
it was here that the total vote fell off
the most. Last year, the total vote in
the district was 23,670. This year, it
amounted to less than 10000, the falling
off coming largely from Cumberland
county, where Mr.. Reeds plurality, last
year, was 1920. In the whole district,
last year, Mr.. Reeds plurality was 1926
over Mr.. Mckinney; but there was a
Prohibition candidate who polled 673
votes, thus reducing his majority to
4791.
There were only two candidates, this
year, but it is evident from spoiled bal
lots that a considerable number of Pro-
hibition voters made the mark in the
Prohibition square on the official ballot,
although they had no candidate. In a
few cases they even wrote in the name
of candidate, but these were so few
that no account of them has been made
in the returns A small vote is always
expected in an off year special election
and the surprise to both parties in the
contest is the vote of York county,
where the Republicans came to the polls
in about the usual numbers.
