BussE TRIUMPHANT.

Mayor Edward +. Dune, democratic
candidate to succeed himsef as the first
four-yesr-term mayor Of Chicago. and
his plans for municipal ownership of
the street car system yesterday went
down to defeat together, the republicans
scoring q sweeping victory in the election

the traction problem, which has been a
political issne In Chicago for twenty
years past, was expressed Ia referen-
dunn provided for by the ordinances, and
means that steps will be taken immedi-
stely By the republican administration
to cooperate With the traction companies
In a complete rehabilitation of the sys-
tenn. The republican plurality on the
traction ordinances was 80, Sl2.
Dunno was "knifed" by democratic
aldermen and political, leaders and re-
pudlated By large percentage OF the
rank and file of bis party throughout
the city, because of his vetoing of the
traction ordinances and bis stand for the
Immediate" requirement ofthe traction

twelve votes in support of his veto OF the

A MEMoRAaLE DAY IN RICHMOND

April 3 is the anniversary OF the most
memorable day in the history Of Rich
mond. Jefferson Davis, president Of
the ConfedsTacy, and his osbinet left the
city for DanYille on Sunday. April 2,
1865, and on Monday, April 3, tao last
of the Confederate troops retired across
the James river Even as they lett the
tobacco warehouses we're being fired,
and the result was he destruction Of =
largo part OF the city.
Ii is no doubt true thst the persons
Who we're engaged in looting the stores
and factories OF the city nnintentionalIy
or otherwise fred some Of the houses,
and the evidence taken in later yesrs
proves thst tho colossal damage done
proceeded from fires kindled by the re-
treating soldiers under orders 10 destroy
the governments stores and tho tobacco
warehouses; and bridges. The Confeder'
ate gunboats in the river we're also fred
and were thus blown to pieces, making
a succession Of volcanic sounds which
we're heard for miles.
The area Of the burned district in
clude some Of the bridges across the
tiver, aud nearly everything between the
river and the canal from Fifteenth
street to Fifth. 60 also most OF the
territory between Canal and franklin
streets from Fourteenth 10 Eighth
was swept. Here and there buildings
out Of the fire district we're destroyed,
some from sparks, az ia the case OF DR..
Reid'G church. which stood on the
northwest corner OF Franklin and Eighth
streets. This church WAS fred BY sparks
blown from the Gallego Mills, and which
lighted on The church steeple. The
homo of Gen. Il. f. Lee was nearly OPP
posite the church. and it Vas fired, too.
But the fire WAS extinguished.
Most Of the male population had quit
the city with the retrieving army, and
those men who we're left behind were in
dread lsst they would be seia ID IS milf
tsry prisoners. and s0aie of them were.
The Libby prison, which had been
emptied of iis inmates on Sunday after
noon they having been put upon hag-
Of.trncs boats and sent into the federal
lines --wss Oiled with persons arrested 10
Richmond, 10 whom the benefit OF 8
military parole was not extended for the
lime being.
The city fire department then consist
ed of two steam fire engines omit in
Richmond and several o,d-iashioned
hand engines. The force of men was
small, but membership in it gave eI-
emption from sclige military service,
| and BY some this waS considered as no
| ANAL compensation
1t appears that some OF the FIRE engines
| responded 10 the alarms. but others die
not for the reason that they eOnld not gel
e6ough men,. 1t was rather too much Il
expect the average fireman TO conLinu'
at his post when government had ceased
and the federal troops were pouring int
the city
1t il said that neither Of the steam
engines appeared until brought out b.
the federal military. Some say thei
horses had been seized, Horses wer
worth 81, 600 apiece in gold that Day.
The Gre was checked st last, about
p. %. chiefly through the eiIorts Of tn
