ALDERMAN IN JAIL.
Was Reselected for Another Term
 While Serving Sentence.

Boston, Dec 14.-Although the mu. nictpal election yesterday resulted Iii a sweeping victory for the democratic party, the republicans gained one mem Der of the board of aldermen and two members in the common council. The city, as usual, declared for license by a large majority.
 The only contest whereby q party vote could be tested was ill the ballot, ing for street commissioner Salem D. Charles, the present commissioner, was returned to office by the democrats, de- feating Guy W. Emerson, his republi- can opponent, by a vote of 42,69O to 19,S61.
 No mayor was elected this year and because of that fact the campaign lacked a great deal of interest. The greatest activity was manifested in the contest for places on the school com mittee. The democrats and republi' cans had full tickets in the field. The Public School association had a few independent candidates, but most of the nominees were candidates of the other parties approved by the assOcia> ton. The Independent Women Voters association endorsed four candidates of the other parties. The result of the voting was the complete success of the democratic candidates, eight being elected for three year terms and one to i'll an unexpired term of one year,
 Of the thirteen aldermen elected, eleven were democrats, Last year twelve democrats were elected, but this year the republican gain was prob. ably due to the fact that the alder manic candidates were voted for under the provisions of an act passed by the last legislature, designed to equalize party representation in the Boston board of aldermen. Each party named thirteen aldermanic candidates, but only seven could be voted for. This new system of voting caused a great delay in tabulation, and 1t was not until nearly this morning that com plete returns were available.
 Alderman J. H. CuTley. who is serv> ing two months' sentence in the Charles, street jail. was reelected Curley was convicted of impersonating another man at civil service exam 1nation. ''t
 The next common council will con. sist of twenty-six republicans and for tyenine democrats. The present coun- cil Is composed of twenty-four republh cans and fifty democrats. The yot- ing was very light.

 The Wesleyan campus was astir last night with fun aroused by the initia. ton of thirty-fiye freshmen into the two class societies of Kappa Gamma and Pi Kappa Tau. The freshmen were taken from their rooms blindfold, Cd and after brief period of ''pad ding" in which members of the three classes each had whack at some poor 'freshie," the initiates were led around town doing stunts on snow piles, door steps and fences and in trees. About o'clock all retired to their respective balls for the more serious part of the limitations, which was followed by banQuets.
 { Lewis A. Mossler of New York, stylishly dressed and with a turnout hired at a Hartford livery stable, ran down and injured girl soon after o'clock yesterday afternoon, drove rapidly through some of the citys busi- est thoroughfares to avoid arrest, and smashed into team and killed a horse. Mossler first attracted attention on lower Main street when he drove into Miss Annie Moore, and went on at a mad rate needless of the cry Of Officer Santoro, who commanded him to stop. He made for Union station and on Allyn street lie crashed into team owned by L. l.. Ellsworth and killed valuable horse.

WORST FIRE KNOWN THERE,
Minneapolis Blocks Burned With
 Loss Estimated at $5,OOO ,OOO.

Minneapolis Blocks Burned With
 Loss Estimated at %5.OOO,OOO.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 14.-- Probably the worst fire that the city of Minneapolis has ever known ragged here until an early hour this morning, with the prospects that the total loss will reach at least $5 ,000, 900.
 The fire started in the photographic supply house of OH. Peck & Go, in Fifth street and First avenue south, and in less than half an hour this building was a mass of wreckage. Next to the Peck building was the furniture supply house of Boutelle Bros, one of the largest houses of it's kind in the northwest. This building soon caught fire and was burned. The sparks from it were car ried for blocks by the high north wind which was blowing. causing several small fires throughout the city. s
 Relief had been secured from St. Paul, that city having sent all its avail able fire apparatus. With the strong wind blowing. aided by zero weather. the firemen experienced considerable difficulty in their work. The fire has burned itself out in one or two build- ings, and the work OF the firenen was entirely directed to the buildings in close proximity in an attempt to save them. It is reported that three firemen lost their lives.
 At 1:2o a. m. the fire was under con- f4sn1

SWAYNE IrfPEACHED.
House Charges Florida Judge Wsh
 High Crimes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.1-Sittina aA a grand jury, the house of representa- tiYes with almost full membership and after more than i've hours dis cussion, to the exclusion of all other business, has adopted resolution pro viding for the impeachment of Judge Charles Swayne of the northern dis trict of Florida for ''high crimes and mfsdemeanors''
 The case against the respondent was clearly set out by MT. Palmer of Penn sy1vania, chairinan1of the subcommit- tee of the Judiciary committee, which heard the evidenGArdn the case. He carefully disseGtebfhe evidence bear ing on each oe tthat specifications and said that if it were found that Judge Swaylne had done well he should be. vindicated, but if he had done i'll he should be sent to trial where bis ex- cuses and apologies may of may not receive consideration. 7
 He was followed by Messrs. Clayton of Alabama, Powers of Massachusetts, Henry of Texas and Lamar of Florida. each of whom in most vigorous terms a0EOGaSC0f AAASo8ADS 0AAA$eS of California and Iittlefleld of Maine in speeches opposed their colleagues on alg the specifications except the pas as to the account rendered to the govern ment by Judge Swayne for travelling expenses.
 Throughout the session intense inter est was shown by members. Following the adoption of the impeachment reso- lution provision was made for appoint ment of five members to notify the senate of the impeachment and for a committee of seven to present the case to the senate.
 These proceedings are the first of their kind since the impeachment in 1876 of General W. " Belknap, who was secretary of war in President Grants cabinet.

THE KILDUFF AFFAIR.
Referee Orders s2s.OOO Attachment
 Placed on Hrs Kiiduf's Property.


 To-day Frederick B. o'Nein, trustee on the insolvent estate of E. G.. Kill duff & Go, acting under instructions from Referee Newton of the United States bankruptcy court, entered suit against the estate of Edward G. and Margaret E. Kilduff for $25,0o0 and attached property of the defendants on South Main street to that amount. The papers were prepared by J. J. O'Neill and served by Constable Lun- ny. The allegations are as follows:
 l. On July z, 1904, the defendant, E, G. Kilduff, and one John Fl. Kill duff filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States court for the dis trict of Connecticut, and were on said day adjudicated bankrupts. ye4t
 2 On December 15, 1903, and while the said E. G. Kilduff and John Fl. Kilduff and the said partnership of E. c. Kilduff & Go were each and all hopeIessIy insolvent, the said B.. e. Kilduff was the owner of certain piece of property situated in said Wa terbury on State street, so-called, and bounded north on George Northrop, east on State street, south on c. &. Northrop, and west on OrsOn Hay ward, of the value of 5000, which property had been purchased by Ine said E. G. Kilduff about 1893, and had been paid for by him on various dates between 1893 and December, 1908, with money obtained from the business of B. G. Kilduf & Go while said company and its partners were insOlvent
 nn Sos5 TaaoapoYor, K Io0Q Tho said B. G. Kilduff with the intent to defraud his creditors and the credi- tors of B. c. Kilduff S Go, and with the purpose of concealing said lp1op- erty and removing it out of his own hands and out of the reach of his creditors and the creditors of D. G. Kilduff & Go, deeded said property to one Mary c. Kilmartin, who on the same day and as part of the same transaction mortgaged said property back to the defendant, Margaret E. Kilduff, for SS,0OO. the said Mary c. Kilmartin being joined in said mort gage to Margaret D. Kilduff by her husband, Thomas J. Kilmartin.
 4. On July 1, 1904, the said de- fendant, Margaret D. Kilduff, sold said Kilmartin mortgage to one Mar tin ]. McEvoy for the sum of s$6,500. 5. The said Margaret E. Kilduff paid nothing for said mortgage and the various steps hereinafter stated were but portions of the single pur- pose of conceaIing said property from the creditors of E. G. Kilduff and the creditors of B. G. Kilduff x Go and to prevent 1t from being taken and ap- piled to the payment of their debts.
 The plaintiff claims $25,o00 dam- ages.
 The other paper has reference to the South Main street block. It belonged originally to D. G. Kilduff and W. S. Jones, but recently B. c. Eildufr transferred his interest to W. S. Jones, who on payment to him of $10,- 900 conveyed the property to Margar- ct E. KiIduff The action in both cases is to compel the defendants to turn the property into the estate and use the proceeds to pay off the debts of the firm The case is returnable to the district court on the first Tuesday in January, 1905. sat lQ 19i

SCHOOL SNOWBOUND.
Deplorable Condition of Approaches 60 l1nlcahy Building. -,,- .h- \

Evidently the committee on school houses and hygiene thinks ploughing through SHOW and sitting at school with wet feet conducive to good health, else something would have been done dur ing the past year to make at least path ways to the Mulcahy school building. A few weeks ago Superintendent Hotchkiss offered to make gooa crushed stone walk from Luke street to the school if the inspector of school buildings would furnish a few men to help out on the job; but even this ex> pense could not be met and as result the building looks like snowed-in mon astery in the Alps and parents have the, alternative of their children reach ing it as, best they may or keeping them at home and let them go on rec ord as truants. But there does not ap> pear to be much use calling attention to the deplorable5 condition of the ap- proaches to that school. 1t has been referred to on and of since last spring, but nobody in authority took any stock in 1t. There is but one course open to the parents Of the pupils of that school at this time. and that is to turn ouG themselves and open mp approaches to the building at their own expense. It wouldn't cost much. X dozen men would accomplish the feat in a day, and every man who, has a child at, tending the school should be willing to do his part of the work. All 1t needs is somebody to take hold of the mat ter and others will fall into line.
 One would think the school board would have some consideration for the tea,chers even though they might not think the children entitled to decent treatment, but it seems such is not the case. The janitor appears to be making the best he can of bad situa. tion, but he is handicapped and the most he can do amounts to little or nothing

 Ksnged Premier In IHfRgy.
 BUDAPEST. Dec 14.-Hoplng to at tract the sympathy of the popuiace, the members of the Opposition in the house of deputies met at their club early in the morning and at 3 o'clock, headed by Count Apponyi, former Premier Banffy, Francis Kossuth, Count Zichy. and other leaders, marched in proces. sion in drizzlihg rain to the parlia. ment building. The public, however, displayed seant interest, and only few idlers cheered them. Acting on Instructions, the guards remained mute, but immoyable, which so incensed the Opposition deputies that they boxed the ears and spat in the faces of the guards, who conducted themselves with the greatest passiYity and for bearance until compelled to act in self defense.
 Seven of the guards were injured in the scrimmage before they fed from the chamber.
 Having piled debris of wrecked furniture and books in the middle of the chamber, the rioters crowned their work of destruction by erecting mod eI of a gallows from broken benches, from which an effgy of Premier Tisza was hanged, the deputies standing around amidst the wreckage smoking cigarettes Nor pipes, while a crowd of reporters with cameras were busy se-, curing pictures of the memorable scene.
