PLEASURE CRAFT.
Additions to the Fleet Now on the
River Front

Among the recent additions to the pleas
ure craft owned in this city is a small gas
oline power boat recently purchased by Mr.
Harry Hodges. and which made her ap-
pearance on the river last week. The new
craft Is yawl about eighteen feet long,
equipped with three-horse- power gasoline
engine. She is an open boat and can carry
four or five persons with ease. The little
craft Is berthed at Reagan's boat house
and will be used for pleasure cruising on
the river.
The engine which Is to go in the little
schooner Jennie Lou, which Is being fitted
out for pleasure purposes on Reagan's rail-
way, arrived at the boat house at the foot
OF 18th street yesterday and will be in
stalled at once. The machine is of Hart
ford make and viii develop about fourteen
horse power. which will give the little craft
good cruising speed. The Jennie Lou ism
owned by Messrs. Charles Fl. Schnaitman
and r. L. Burns of this city, and will not
be ready to go into commission until some
time in the spring.
The little power launch Alice Is hauled
out at Cumberland's boat house for some
minor repair work. She win return to
service before the end OF the week.

OVERLAPPING ICE PLoWs.
Potomac River Craft Making Ready
for the Winter Season.

The ice-breakng pillow of the District po-
lice boat Vigilant has been overhauied and
made ready for service and Is now lying
suspended In position in the berth of the
Vfgilant. at the harbor police pier, ready
to be put on the boat as soon as ice begins
to form on the river. The owners of the
tugboats which continue in service during
the winter are having the ice plows OF
their boats put in order to go on the tugs
as soon as, 1t is necessary. These ice-break-
ing pIows enable the tugboats to go through
ice which would stop them were the secret
of the pillow undiscovered. According to the
story the efficacy of the Ice pillow was dis
covered by accident. A tugboat in northern
waters wast endeavoring to force her way
through heavy Ice by ramming 1t, but was
making poor Roadway. After many hours
OF fruitless work. the boat suddenly seemed
to be endowed with life, she went through
the ice that a few minutes before had near
ly stopped her. with ease, and it was no
longer necessary to back and ram to get
through. Her astonished crew thought of
magic, witches and supernatural things. I'M
til one of them happened to look over her
bow and found the forked trunk OF q tree
tightly wedged across the bow of the boat
the tug moved forward the heavy log
parted the ice like knife. and the secret
of the--modern ice pillow was discovered

Features of the Election.

Features of the Election.
This result is especially interesting be-
cause many of the counties OF southern
Maryland and on the eastern shore, where
the amendment was expected by the demo-
Gratis to poll a larger vote than the local
tickets. in fact received a much less vote
and while democratic tickets were elected
in many cases the amendment was defeat
ed. In other cases In which the republican
candidates were elected the amendment was
showed under by still heavier majority
In some of the counties in which the
democratic vote was large the vote on the
amendment fell off many hundreds, indi-
eating that many democrats, while voting
for their party candidates, did not mark
the ballots either for or against the amend
ment. This action of democrats in declin-
ing to vote on the amendment was SO mark
ed that while throughout the state there
were cast 154 900 votes for candidates there
were cast but 14S, 792 for the amendment
In other words. 5,49S democrats apparent
ly voted for their candidates, but declined
to vote on the amendment at all Their
action indicated their disapprovaI of the
measure, and had they voted according to
their view on that question the majority
against the amendment would have been

Quarters for Fort Hunt Soldiers Being
RAPIDLY Completed.

The new quarters for non-commissioned
officers at the coast artillery station at
Fort Hunt, Va, are now rapidly approach
ing completion and will be ready for oc-
cupancy within short time. The new
buildings are modern in every detail and
will be supplied with all conveniences to
make the 'non-coms." comfortable. They
will be electric lighted and steam heated, and
will have modern sanitary plumbing. The
contract for the installation of the cleo
trio lighting fixtures and wiring will be
awarded next week. This building is the
last of the new buildings to be erected at
Fort Hunt under the Old appropriation, but
plans are being prepared for the erection
of a number of buildings during the coming
year.
The artillery stations at Fort Washington
and Fort Hunt are to be made model army
posts. In the last six years both the Po-
tomac forts have been changed from but
little better than corn fields. Fort Hunt

In Southern MARYLAND

In the five counties that comprise south
ern Maryland and include nearly all of
Representative Mudd's district, in which
the Keeling In favor of dlsfranchsing the
colored voters was supposed to be very
strong, the vote against the amendment
aggregated 1884. while the vote for it was
but 4,41S giving majority in those coun-
ties Of 2,216 against 1t. In Charles county
the home of Mr.. Mudd, the majority was
300 against the amendment. In this county
the ballot given the voters by the SUPER
visors was so confusing that Chairman
Hanna made a special protest against IT
to Governor Warfed
The ballot not only had no party desiR-
nation, but while 1t was printed on very
wide paper there were no guiding lines to
connect the names of candidates and the
words FOR the amendment" and against
the amendment with the squares in which
the mark~ef the voter was to be made 1t
was supposed that In marking the ballot
for and against the amendment this device
would cause many of the colored voters to
place the mark in the wrong place The
result. however. indicates that that was
not the case.
In ST. Marys county the majority against
the amendment was about 200. But In
Anne Arundel county the result was still
more marked against the amendment.
w hile the democrats in that county elected
their candidates by majority of III the
amendment was defeated by majority of
973. This indicated the strength of the fac
ton headed by DIR. Wells. DR.. Wells prac-
tically had control of the democratic party
of the county. He is a pronounced anti
German man and was outspoken against
the amendment.
Before the election the Wells faction was
supposed to comprise about three-fourths
of the democrats In Anne Arundel county,
most of whom were in Annapolis. and of
that faction two-thirds were supposed to
be against the amendment. Among the
democrats there the vote against the amend
largely regarded

The Eastern Shore.

The returns from Dorchester and Worces-
ter counties on the eastern shore have been
slow in coming in. In Dorchester county
there was expected to be a vast amount of
splitting of the ticket. the democrats
were much cut up by a fight over their
candidate for the state senatorship. Cecil
county gave a majority Of 405 against the
amendment. while Kent county gave ma
jority of only 90 in favor of It,
Somerset county. the home OF former
Representative Joshua w. Miles, was sup
posed to be the stronghold of the sentiment
in favor of the amendment, and yet that
county produced majority of only PA for
the amendment. In that county 81 demo-
Gratis, according to these returns, voted for
their candidate for controller without yot-
ing for the amendment AS the home OF the
democratic candidate for the controller
ship is in this county. he probably received
some republican votes. Deducting the votes

own state and local ticket, the returns indf-
cate that 256 republicans In this county
voted against the amendment while they
could not vote the entire ticket on account
of the confusion of the names of candidates
In this county. in which the Wilson law
prevailed, not only was there no designation
of parties in connection with the names
of candidates, but there was q third set of
dummy candidates placed on the tickets
whose names closely resembled those of the
republicans in order to lessen the republt-
can vote.

TO THE POISON FIEND

The party or parties who are put
ting out poison should consider that
there are some valuable dogs, also
that dogs are property, and that
many of the residents Of the city have
paid the taxes required by ordinance.
We are willing to admit that there
are a lot of worthless ours in the city,
and few dogs on which the tax has
not been paid; but we are not willing
to admit the necessity of poison
fend in this community now, or at
any other time.
Should the party or parties who are
distributing the poison be located,
prosecution will certainly follow.

FIREMEN GIVE
HAVRE A BOOST

Hayre will next week be indus
triously doomed at the state conven-
ton of the Montana Firemen's assoc
iation at Lewistown. The argu-
ments in behalf of Havre are many
and forcible and will be presented
bv a notable committee of the depart
ment.
Attention will be called to the fac t
that If Lewistown could be considered
a handy city for the convention, much
more caa be said on behalf of a city
in direct connection without change
with practically every other city hav-
ing railroad facilities in Montana.
Those fremen living on the Great
Northern road have only to tumble
out the back door in order to catch
q train for Havre. The same facility
is true, practically, for those on the
Northern Pacific, immediate or de-
layed connection, just as they please,
either coming or going, being given
them at both Butte and Great Falls,
which are the two biggest municipali-
ties in the state and the best and
busiest outside of Havre. Those who
come to Havre will have chance to
see everything worth while seeing in
Montana-its mining, it's farming
and it's grazing land-and all for the
price of single admission. They may
come promptly and depart quickly,
unless the spell of the city and the
numerous entertainments provided
for VISITORS as they so often do
turn them into residents of the Range
Metropolis.
All these arguments in favor o.
Havre and many that are far bette
will be presented.

of the general character and aspect
have endeavored to recall There
were then hundreds of villages of this
general description, every oneof which
would now excite great admiration
fro mmen of good taste. They have
now, at some points, taken on town
airs, killing what remains of their
former character; at other points, they
have become neglected and slatterLiy
Lastly. the pursuit OF beauty through
decoration has set back any character

as the beauty of an American village.

they have scquired IS largely a COM

well have been produced anywhere
