.ONE DEMOCRAT
wins IN MAINE
Even With BGIatCd Returns
Coming in Republican Ma
jOrity Is $4,000

Lewiston. Nc. Sept. 12-Belated
election returns from all over the state
came in yesterday, but with the ex-
ception Of Knox county very few
showed any decided change from those
received Monday night The estimates
sent out then held good all day.
and with 375 cities, towns and planta-
tions heard from out of a total Of 512,
the estimated Republican plurality for
the state ticket remains at $4,000. The
returns show a Republican loss Of II
per cent and a Democratic gain Of %
per cent.
Perhaps one of the most notable fea-
lures of the election was the Demo-
cratic victory in Knox county, where,
owing to labor troubles, every Repub-
lican candidate was badly knitted, and
only Congressman Littleheld and Sher-
III Ulmer succeeded in coming out
ahead of their opponents. The Demo-
cratic candidate for governor carried
the county and pulled along with him
the senatorial candidate. l.. H. Staples,
Of Washington, and the latter will have
the distinction of being the only Dem
ocrat in the upper branch of the legis-
lature. The Republicans will probably
be able to muster next winter 1866 votes
on the Joint ballot for William p. Frye
for United States senator.

RELIEF COMMITTEE
MAKES APPEAL FOR AID

Galveston, Sept 12-The followlnq
statement OF conditions at Galveston
and appeal for aid is issued by the local
relief committee, headed by Mayor w
G. Jones:
"A conservative estimate Of the loss
of life is that it will reach 5000. All
least 5000 families are shelterless and
wholly destitute and the entire re-
mainder OF the population is suffering
In greater or less degree. Not a single
church, school or charitable institu-
tion, Of which Galveston had so many,
is left intact Not building escaped
damage, and half the whole number
were entirely obliterated. There is i'm
mediate need for food. clothing and
household goods of all kinds. If near
by cities will open asylums for women
and children the situation will be
greatly relieved Coast cities should
send us water as well as provisions. in
eluding kerosene oil, gasoline and can
dles.'
Some order is being brought out Of
chaos, and something like a systematic
attempt Is being made to clear the
debris and remove the dead. Idlers arc
being pressed into service at the point
OF the bayonet and made to work. and
a military Gordon is being drawn
tighter and tighter about the place.
Every horse and mule that was left
in the city is IN service. Supplies are
coming in from Houston, and the first
line Of communication with the outside
world was opened yesterday via Texas
City. Large forces are working on the
railroads, and in few days the people
OF Galveston believe the situation will
be greatly improved
Among the saddest OF many sad in
eidenta of the storm was the loss Of the
families Of two police officers while the
husbands and fathers were engaged in
rescue work. Officers Joe Bird and
John Rowan were assigned to rescue
work in the East End early Saturday
afternoon, and together with other Of
ncers they worked faithfully to succor
waterbound families near the gulf.
They rescued about 100 people from the
iury OF the storm. They returned to
the station only when the high water
noated the patrol wagon and threaten
ca TO drown the team of horses attach
ed TO it. They had no idea that the
waters of the gulf had invaded the
western portion of the city. where
they lived, until they returned to the
police station and heard the report.
Rowan and Bird started Immediately
for their homes, but their families had
been swept away. Officer Bird lost his
wife and five children ana Officer Row
an his wife and three children.

MAYOR FAHEY
MAY TAKE ACTION
Porto RiCian FURd Possibly

SllfererS

Although no direct appeal for aid for
the sufferers from the cyclone In Gal
weston, Texas. has been made % this
city II is probable that some action In
that direction win be taken by city Of
dcials
After the American-spanlsh war. by
which the United States acquired the
island Of Porto Rico, much sympathy
was expressed for the condition OF the
natives OF the captured isle. Funds
generally were raised throughout this
country to aid the starving. In this
,ity something over 5000 was contribu-
ted. The money was placed i'm the
hands Of Clerk of Council W. Z. Morris
son. So far Mr.. Morrison has been I'M
able TO dispose Of the money, not know
ing where to send il.
MAYOR FAHEY's SUGGESTION.
Mayor John C. Fahey, when spoken
o this morning on the question of
sending money to the Galveston suffer
irs, said
There has been no mention made TO
ne regarding any funds. but / Will saw
hat l am in entire sympathy with the
niortunates ] think il would be a
yood idea to divert IL possible. the
money subscribed for the Porto Rican
sufferers, and which has never been
allied for into that channel. Clerk of
Council Morrison has the money de-
'osited to his account, and / can see
10 better use for It."
When spoken to on the subject a
lumber of people of the city expressed
heir willingness TO contribute to such
cause.
1t is probable that at to-nights
Meeting Of Councils committees some
iction will be taken toward making an
ppropriation for the relief of those
Who have suffered from the terrific
hurricane. Although the finances oil
he city are not the best, all members
II Council feel that no one could make
my objection If Council should CON
ribute a few hundred dollars to those
Who so badly need some assistance.

'eiye any and all subscriptions, much
