SENATORS ELECTED AT LAST.
Deadlock In Delaware Legislature
Broken and Ball md Alice
Elected.

Dover, Del, March 3.-Ihe Della
ware legislature Monday afternoon
ended the senatorial deadlock by
electing State Senator j. Frank
Alice (union republican, to the long
term senatorship which expires in
1907 and Congressman Louis Heisler
Ball regular republican, to the
short term, which ends in 1905. Alice
was congratulated by his colleagues,
and by the assembly generally. Con-
gresham Ball was in Washington
Monday.
The result is regarded here as an
Addicks victory. Pressure brought
from Washington undoubtedly had
much to do with preventing the ac-
ceptance of the democratic offer to
join with the regulars to elect one
regular and leave vacancy.
In expectation of settlement of the
prominent men from every section of
the state were present at Mondays ses-
sions of the legislature. The election
of Messrs. Alice and Ball was an
nounced to an audience that filled the
house of representative to suffoca-
ton. Men were standing upon the
window lodges, and so compact was
the crowd that many of the speakers
stood upon the shoulders of others
supporting themselves against the
walls of the assembly room. The noise
and confusion on the part of those who
came to witness the proceedings was
so great that many of the legislators
became bewildered, and apparently did
not know how to vote when the roll
was called. The appearance of Con-
gresham Dick in the hall was the sig
nal for wild and prolonged applause.
During the voting he occupied the seat
of Representative Townsend and be-
side him in the seat of Representative
Jones sat Mr.. Addicks. The latter
evinced much satisfaction when the re-
suit of the vote was announced
DR.. Lewis Heisler Ball was born near
Wilmington, Del. in 1861 He was
graduated from Delaware college in
1852, and studied medicine at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He was elect
ed state treasurer in 1898. and two
house of congress. Last year he was
renominated for congress by the regu-
lar republicans, but was defeated by
Henry a. Houston, the democratic
nominee.

VOTES DOWN TYPHOID.
Fever-Stricken Ithaca Decides for
City Ownership of Water
Works.

Ithaca, n. Y, March 3.-This city
voted Monday for municipal owner
ship of its waterworks. but 30 votes
being cast in the negative. The cpl
demic of typhoid fever caused the
great change in public opinion. In
fact, it is said that had the city a
year ago voted for the proposition
there would have Deen no pestilence.
and the present menace to the town
and Cornell university would not
have been created Sunday and Mon
day five persons died in and around
Ithaca, all of whom had contracted
typhoid fever in this city. Seven new
cases were reported in the last "a
hours, and up to date II Cornell stu
dents have died of the malady. These
facts indicate the conditions that led
to the overwhelming vote for city
ownership.
Ithaca's fatal epidemic is attribu-
ted by most people to the pollution
of two streams from which a large
part of the water supply of the town
is drawn. Six Mile creek is believed
to have been contaminated by a camp
of Hungarian laborers, employed
early in the winter in building a new
dam for the Ithaca Water company
Investigations by the board of health
of the city, made after the epidemic
became severe, have shown that the
farm pollution from Buttermilk
creek. the other stream supplyinp
the city, is so great that many prom
inent citizens favor abandoning the
present waterworKs entirety and con-
structing new artesian well sys-
tenn of supply.
Ithaca has about $4,000 inhabitants.
including s.70O students of Cornell
university. There are three water
supply divisions in the city, one sup
piled wholly from Six Mile creek,
another wholly from Buttermilll
creek, and the third having a mixed
supply from the two sources. Very
few eases of typhoid have been found
in the division supplied wholly by
Buttermilk creek. Nearly all the per-
sons i'll with the disease in this dis
trict have offices in the part of the
city supplied by Six Mile creek BY
far the greatest number of cases
has occurred in the district supplied
only by Six Mile creek
