ELECTIONS IN OHIO.
Annual Municipal and Town Contests
 Some of the Questions Involved.

| Cincinnati, April 1.-The annual mu-
 nlcipal and township elections occur in
 Ohio tomorrow. The contests involve the control of party organizations as
 well as local officers. In Cincinnati it is the old fight against George B. Cox as the local republican leader. The reg ular republican ticket Is headed by Coll onel Julius Fleischmann for mayor, and
 the fusion ticket is equally divided in the nominations between Democrats and anti-Cox republicans. Cohen is democrat. Both candidates for mayor are prominent Hebrews. The fusion ticket won easily three years ago, but the result will be so close tomorrow that parts of each ticket will likely be elected In Cleveland and Toledo the factional fighting has made the situa- tion peculiar. Senator Hanna is quite an issue in both those cities Tn Cleve- land there have been many meetings, but none in Cincinnati. In Toledo May or Samuel Jones is a factor for munich pal ownership, especially of the natural gas pipe line. In Columbus only minor officers will be elected, but a fight over street railway franchises magnifies the city council into parliamentary dmen- sions In Dayton Mayor Lindermuth with full ticket, stands for reelection with a fight against Dr. J. E. Loves as republican leader and an issue for cheaper city lighting. These local is- sues, factional fights and oppositions to alleged bosses indicate that party lines will not be drawn closely. The women are taking an active part in the contests for members of boards of education, for which offices they are electors and in many cases candidates.

SUNK IN TWO MINUTES.
Schooner Abraham Richardson After Collision VIth n Barge.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, April 1.-The schooner Abraham Richardson of Ban gor, Captain Pomeroy, from South Am
 boy, for Rockland, Me, was sunk by collision with the barge Alaska off East Chop, Vineyard Sound at 9 o'clock this morning. All hands were saved, but the schooner was a total loss. The Richardson sailed from Vine yard Haven shortly before 8 o'clock this morning and when off East Chop and sailing with free wind and at good rate of speed, she met the tug Swatara, towing the barges Phoenix, Alaska and Brookside which left Bos- ton yesterday morning for Philadelphia. The schooner and the tow were passing at safe distance from each other, and in fact the tug and first barge had got past, when the Richardson's patent steering gear broke and unshipped, rendering it useless and Captain Polne- roy lost control of his vessel.
 The latter swung to the wind and went across the bow of the barge Alaska, the middle one of the tow which struck the Richardson just aft the fore rigging on the starboard side, cutting into her so that she sank in two minutes. The schooner went down head first, which gave the crew just time to cut their boat from the davits get into it and shove clear before the stern settled. Had the schooner gone down stern first some of her crew would undoubtedly have been drowned. They were all saved in their boat, except one seaman, who leaped aboard the Alaska. The tug Swatara picked them up and landed them here, where they are being cared for. The crew lost all their per- sonal effects
 The tow hawser of the Alaska was parted, but she sustained no injury and the Swatara proceeded with the barges for her destination this afternoon. The Richardson was owned by F., w. Aver & Go, of Bangor, Me-, and was unin sured. She had a cargo of 213 tons of coal, consigned to the Rockland and Rockport Lime company, which was probably insured. The schooner lies in mid-channel, directly in the track of vessels in about nine fathoms of water, with the upper portion of her lower masts projecting above water, and is very dangerous to navigation.

 Eastman Kop, Saturday, March 31.- The British force commanded by Colo mel Broadwood, consisting of the Tenth Hussars, Household cavalry, two Horse batteries and a force of Mounted infan- try under Colonel Pitcher, which had been garrisoning Thaba N'Chu, was obliged, in consequence of the near ap- proach of large force of Boers, to leave last night.
 Colonel Broadwood marched to the Bloemfontein waterworlSs south of the Modder, where he encamped at this morning. At early dawn the camp was shelled by the enemy from near point. Colonel Broadwood sent off convoy with the batteries, whole the rest of the force remained to act as rear guard.

 age Fully Expected.

Washington, April 1.-The senate will vote upon the Puerto Rican bill Tuesday at o'clock.

WATERING CARTS OUT.
Twenty-tvo Began Running Yesterday
 --DircctorTroup's Explanations.

Street sprinkling with watering carts was begun yesterday for the first time thil season. The order of the common council provided that sprinkling should begin March 15 and some curiosity has been expressed by citizens as to why sprinkling did not begin on that date. Director Troup when asked about the matter said that up to the last few days the weather had been so cold eX- cept for two or three hours during tlle middle of the day that water from sprinkling would freeze upon the streets, thus making the ice nuisance, worse than the dust nuisance. MT. Troup said that he had several times directed Superintendent Havey of the Car Sprinkling company to discontinue sprinkling with the cars because the water froze and made the streets slip psry for horses.
 Teams and men will be paid to run the carts at the rate of $4 per day for man and team. This price will be paid for every day whether sprinkling is needed or not, but on wet days each driver will be instructed to report to the superintendent of streets with teams hitched to dump carts. If the services of the outfit IS needed the $5 per day so employed will be paid If 1t Is not needed $4, the regular price, will be paid Only one team will be hired from one man and MT. Troup says that pref erence will be given to those owners of teams who are in the teaming business for livelihood He said that the $4 per day contracts would not begin ur- til the first day of sprinkling and that the contracts did not begin on March 15. Twentytwo carts were set to work yesterday The rest of the new carts just purchased by the city will be put on soon.
