HON. E. ]. BOWERS
RECEIVES HIGHEST VOTE
OF ANY CANDIDATE FOR CON-
GRESS IN THE STATE STATE
DID NOT CAST 10000 VOTES
SIxTY-SIX COUNTIES HAVE RE
TURNED 1892 BALLOTS.

The entire vote of the State of Missis-
sippi cast on the 9th at the Congression-
al election will not reach 10000, about
what one district ought to vote.
So far, sixty-six connties have sent in
their returns, and they report a total
vote of 1892. Out of this total the
amendment has received 1918, enough
to assure its carriage. There were only
few scattering votes polled against the
amendment IN the sevoral counties.
OF the candidates in the eight con-
gressional districts Hon. E. J. Bowers of
the Sixth is the only man who will re-
ceive as many as 1000 votes.
1t is believed at the Secretary of
States office that when the full returns
are in, says the Jackson Clarion-Ledger,
they will show that Hon. John Sharp
Williams and Hon. Benz. Humphreys
have been returned on a vote of less than
10000 each, and that with Mr.. Williams
having the two largest counties in the
State in his district.
The State has registered vote Of
about 135, 900 and yet not 10000 Of these
votes were cast-only about one man out
of every seven taking the trouble to go
to the polls and vote. In some of the
counties fewer votes were polled than it
officers to hold the election, and
some of the counties elections were not
held at one-half of the voting places.
Perry county cast the heaviest vote of
any in the State. her vote being over 800,

PASS CHRISTIAN.
Fifty Dollars a Front Foot for City
Property Facing the Gulf.

Pass Christian, Miss, Nov. Fifty
dollars front foot Is the value placed
upon Pass Christian property facing the
Gulf by a special Court of Eminent Do
main impaneled yesterday before Justice
Adam to pass upon the application of
the Mayor and Aldermen for the open
ing of three streets in the east end of
town. The property-holders were rep
resented by Hon. T. Marshall Miller, Of
New Orleans; Elliot Henderson, of Pass
Christian; H. w Maghn, of Gulfport;
and A. Saunders, of Scranton-while
the Council was represented by Hon.
Will Mcdonald, of Bay st. Louis. The
Court was in session nearly the entire
day, and returned verdict of 81 900 for
c.. A. Pardue for a twenty foot strip
through his lot, $1,000 to Mrs. M. j.
Martin for twenty feet through her lot,
and S775 TO Mrs. G. A. Vincent for a
strip fifteen feet wide on Front street.
A few years ago no such figure would
have been expected for like number OF
feet, but the action of the Council in
securing these much-needed streets now
is generally indorsed, as it is confidently
predicted that the same lands will be
worth considerably more money a year
hence.

of the peace in the State and the num-
ber is increased to 1,939; in addition to
this there are several counties in the
State having two court districts, with
court houses in two different places, and

tai number that will be sent out at the
