while Stanchfeld's vote was slightly

Throughout the State the election

A Storm Was Raging and the Bill"WS

Destruction.

The worst marine disaster in the
long list Of steamers wrecked among
the rocks and shoals at the entrance
of the Bay OF Funday occurred Sat
urday morning when the sidewheel
steamer City of Monticello, bound
from St. John for Yarmouth, was
overwhelmed by the mountainous
seas only four miles from her desti-
nation and engulfed with thirty-four
OF her passengers and crew. A heavy
gale was raging at the time and there
was a tremendous sea.
The place where the Monticello
struck is at the mouth Of the Bay OF
Fundy, where the waters of the pay

are many reefs and shoals at this
spot and the currents are many and
changeable, it being one of the most
dangerous places on the coast. The
gale Saturday kicked up tremen-
dous sea and at the time the vessels
struck the waves were beating upon
the rocks ard sending sprays for
hundreds OF feet over the land.
The Monticello was on her way
from St. John to Yarmouth with a
full freight and fairly large passenger
list. Just before she foundered an
attempt was made to reach the land

quartermaster, and 1T contained

This boat was smashed by u huge
comber, the occupants being hurled

the only survivors.

ILLINOIS.

Chicago, Ill.-McKinley has carried
the State of Illinois by a tremendous
majority. At this hour it seems that
his plurality will be increased by at
least 10000 over that of 1896. Samuel
Alschuler, Democratic candidate for
Governor, is beaten by very close
vote. He ran ahead of his ticket by
at least 10000. The surprise of poll
ticians is the enormous vote cast for
Mckinley in Chicago, which Chairman
Jones, Mayor Harrison and others had
claimed to be Democratic. The Re
publicans will lose four Representa-
tives in Congress. including William
