Results in Boston and Eishteen Other V Cities.

Boston, Dec. 13.-Municipal elections were held in this and eighteen other cities of thestate to-day, There were no noteworthy surprises, with the pos sible exception of Newburyport and Wo- burn where there were changes from no-lincense to license. The bitterest fight was in Cambridge where the dem ocratic ticket was defeated by the non partisan candidate. Official charges of bribery brought by the democrats be- fore the council for investigation was 8 feature of the campaign.
 In this city, Salem D. Charles (denl.) was elected street commissioner over Guy ". Emerson by a majority of about 10000. This was the only local office for which a practically straight party vote was cast. To-night's returns indi- cate democratic majority in both the board of aldermen and common council, as is also the case of the school com mittee. As usual the city voted for H. cense.

DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT.
Pawnbroker Fails to Identify Nan Pat
 tersOn.

New York. Dec. 13.-A dramatic situ- ation developed to-day Tn the criminal branch of the supreme court when Nan Patterson, on trial before Justice Yer non M. Davis, for the murder of "Cae- sar' Young, stood up in the court room and faced Pawnbroker Hynan Stern, the witness who sold the revolver with which Young was killed. Stern was unable to identify the prisoner as the woman who accompanied the man to whom he sold the revolver. He was not certain whether this man had a smooth face or wore a moustache. He was not asked to identify the photo- graph of J. Morgan Smith.
 Police Captain Sweeney was recalled and identified the photograph. He said that he saw Smith on June last and gave him a grand jury subpoena. Ob- jection was made to the introduction as evidence of a copy of the subpoena served by the witness and the jury was excused while Justice Davis listened to argument of counsl
 Mir. Rand informed the court that the theory of the prosecution is that Smith and his wife were co-conspirators against Young, although they had not planned to kill him. The prosecutor further said that he was prepared to prove that Smith and his wife. with the active connivance of the defend ants father, and also with the conniv- ance of the defendants lawyers, had lied to parts unknown.
 When I say the defendants coun- sel, continued MT. Rand, II do not mean you, MT. Levy.'
 Justice Davis reserved decision on the question raised. IF

PENAL SERVIIUDE FOR LIFE
SASoNEFE, THE ASSASSIN OF TON
 PLEHVE, SENTENCED.

sikorifslSy, Ills AccompIice, Given
 Twenty Years Extraordinary Pre-
 cautions in st. Petersburg to Prevent
 Demonstration Planned by Revolu-
 tionary rganization-Shouts From
 the Crowd Calling on Judges to Ac-
 quit the Accused.
 St. Petersburg Dec. 1S.-The trial of Sasoneff, who assassinated Interior Minister von Plehve in July last. and of sikorifsky, his accomplice. was held to-day before the court of appeals in the law courts building. sasoneff was sentenced to penal servitude for life and sikorifsky for twenty years penal servitude.
 Extraordinary precautions were taken to prevent the demonstration planned by the revolutionary organiza- tion in the language of the proclan1a- ton in favor of the man who freed Russia from a tyrant for which he will not be subjected to d trial but to an inquisition.'
 M. Koukousanoff, procurator of the court of appeals, acted as prosecutor, and NM. Kara and Schevsky, the most prominent criminal lawyers of the e1n- pire, appeared for Sasoneff M. Kazari- noff defended Sikorifsky. Twenty eight witnesses and four experts appeared. Sasoneff's father, a merchant of Ufa, was the only outsider present. All the functionaries appeared in full civil uni- form
 The procedure followed closely that of the French courts. The prosecutor opened with presenting the case for the government, the indictments was read and the prisoners were arraigned, pleading justifable homicide, after which the witnesses were examined.
 Toward night, when the shops and factories were closed, the size of the crowds increased and there was oeca- sional shouts of aacquit them, but there was no attempt at an actual dem- onstration, the polio asily handling the crowds without resort to violence or calling out the reserves. Only 3 few arrests were made.

BIC FIRE IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Loss Estimated nt Between Four and
 Five Millions.

Etfe mllllOnhs
 Minneapolis, Dec. 14-Probably the worst fire that the city of Minneapolis has ever known is now raging here and already. at 12:SO o'clock. three million dollars worth of property has been de- stroyed, with prospects that the total loss will reach at least five millions.
 The fire started in the photographic supply house of 0. H. Peck & co. on Fifth street and First avenue South, and in less than one-half hour this building was mass of wreckage. Next to the Peck building is the furniture supply house of Boutelle Brothers, the largest house of its kind in the north west This building soon caught fire and is now burning, the sparks being carried for blocks by the north wind, causing several small fires throughout the city.
 Relief has been secured from St. Paul, that city having sent all its avail able fire apparatus
 It is reported that three fremen have already lost their lives,
 It is estimated the total loss VIII reach more than four millions. Every electric light in the city has been burn ed out, and though the fire is partially under control, the dense smoke greatly hampers the firemen in their work. One man was killed by the burning of a live wire which dropped in the street.

HOUSE AS JURY VOTES
 TO IMPEAGH SWAYNE
FIVE HOURS, DISCUSSION BE-
 TORE ACTION IS TAKEN

Evidence in the Case Set Before the
 Members by MT. Palmer of the Ju-
 dietary Committee-First Proceed-
 ings of Kind since Impeachment in
 1878 of Secretary of War BeIISnap Of
 Grants Cabinet.
 Washington, Dec. 1S.-sitting as a grand jury. the house of representa- tiyes to-day. with almost a full mem bership, and after more than five hours discussion to the exclusion of all other business, adopted a resolution provid- ing for the impeachment of Judge Charles swayne, of the northern dis trict of Florida, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The case against the respondent was clearly set out by MT. Palmer, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the subcommittee of the judiciary committee which heard the evidence in the case. He carefully dissected the evidence bearing on each of the speci- fications, and said that if it were found that Judge Swayne had done well he should be vindicated, but if he had done i'll he should be sent to trial where his excuses and apologies may or may not receive consideration
 MT. Palmer was followed by Messrs. Clayton, of Alabama, Powers, of Mass achusetts, Henry. of Texas, and Lamar, of Florida, each of whom in most vig- orous terms advocated impeachment. Messrs. Gillette, of California, and Lit tlefield, of Maine, opposed their col- leagues on all the specifications except the one as to the account rendered to the government by Judge Swayne for travelling expenses.
 Throughout the session intense inter est was shown by members. Follow ing the adoption of the impeachment resolution, provision was made for the appointment of five members to notify the senate of the impeachment and for committee of seven to present the case to the senate.
 To-day's proceedings were the first of their kind since the impeachment in 1878 of General w. w. Belknap, who was secretary of war in President Grants cabinet.

MILL oWEERs ALARMED.
VIII Have to shut Down Unless Heass
 Rain Comes soon.

Putnam. Dec. 1s-NIill owners and manufacturers in this section of the state, and especially through the Quin- nepaug valley, are alarmed on account of the drought that is now existing, and claim that, unless a remarkably heavy rain comes soon, some of their places will have to shut down. which will necessitate throwing out of work several thousand hands. For over two months little rain has fallen, and the little that has descended has done noth- ing practically to relieve the situation on account of the frozen ground. Such Ia condition has rarely existed about here, and the streams which furnish the power for the greater number of the mills and manufactures seldom have been as low. Owners in Quinne- paug, New London, Wauregan. Put nam, Waterville and other nearby places are the principal sufferers.

WRECK AT BRIDGEPORT
 BLOCKS ALL TRAINS
ANOTHER SERIOUS CRASH ON
 THE COSTLY VIADUCT.

Dozen of Them Up Like EggsheIIs-i
 Wreck Crosses All Four of the Tracks
 No One Injured.
 Bridgeport, Dec. 1S.-The regular Harlem river freight train from Spring field for New York crashed into train of empty cars on the viaduct here to- night at 1O:45 o'clock, causing q wreck that has blockaded all four tracks and thus has impeded all traffic on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad at this point. No one was in jured. The freight left Springfield last night at 7:SO and was held up all day at New Haven by the storm, leaving that city at ' o'clock tonight. It had passed the station at Bridgeport and, as the engineer says, was given clear track at the end of the first block west hof the station. Suddenly the tail end of the other train loomed up before it, and although the air brakes were applied there was not time enough to stop the heavy train which crashed in to the cars ahead. Fully a dozen cars on that train were doubled up like egg shells. Six cars on the freight train suffered in the same way.
 The freight train was drawn by en- zine No 5S9, which plowed it's way into the middle of box car. This train was in charge of it's regular crew on the Hartford division and had a New. York division engineer at the throttle. Both the engineer and fireman stuck to their posts and escaped unharmed. The train was composed of twenty loaded cars filled with paper from Maine for New York dailies.
 The train of empties was being back ed onto the crossover for the Berkshire division at this point, Joseph German, the man in charge of the signal station at this block, says that the signals were set against the regular freight.
 The wreckers at New Haven and Harlem River have been notified, but 1t is not thought that the wreck can be cleared away for several hours As the cars obstruct the tracks on each side nothing can pass this point until the wreckers have cleared them away. No one was injured, although man riding with car of horses, which was one of those wrecked. had only left 1t a minute before the accident happened.

Secretary Hitchcock Favors
PaIOuse River Scheme.
ENGINEERS WILL PUSH INVESTIGATIONS
Further Negotiations With o. r. e. NJ
Will Be Taken Up Again by
Reclamation Officials.

1t is now up to the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company to decide
whether the Palouse irrigation project
is to be carried out or not.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
at Washington has approved the re-
port of the government engineers. The
secretary also authorized the geolog-
ical survey to push it's Investigations
to completion and to negotiate for the
necessary rights and privileges in the
premises
The secretary in approving the pro-
ject was guided by the board of con-
sulting engineers, who pronounced the
project feasible and advised early
construction. The board places the
cost of construction at $35 per acre,
estimated, is little if any more than
one-half of the value of the land with
water rights.
AS $4,000 acres will be reclaimed, the
cost would be in the neighborhood of
$2,SO0,0O0. Acting Chief Engineer
Davis of the reclamation service says
that negotiations with the o. r. & N.
people for the Washtucna reservoir
site would not be opened at once.
