A. B. Muir, the veteran councilman
from the Third Ward, was elected
Mayor OF Dallas yesterday. defeating
Edward BiddIe, the incumbent, by five
votes Mr.. Muir carried the Second
Ward by two votes, the Third Ward
by p votes, and lost the First Ward
by Is votes. The contest was good
natured, but earnest. and heroic work
was done by the supporters OF each
candidate. Two years ago, Mr.. Biddle
defeated Mr.. Muir for Mayor by a
majority of SO votes.
Lively interest was taken in the
election and heavy vote was cast,
especially in the Second and Third
Wards. H. B. Cosper was reelected
councilman-a large without opposi-
ton, as was Conrad Stafrin for Coun-
Gilman from the First Ward.
Up 10 Second Ward, where there
were three candidates for councilman
in the field, the battle waged warmest,
with the result that the heaviest vote
ever cast in the ward was polled.
@. E. Shaw, the last candidate to file
his petition, was an easy winner,
Councilman w. A. Ayres and J. M.
Lynn, his opponents, running neck
and neck for second place. f. j.
Coad was reelected Councilman in
the third ward, defeating S. M. Ray
by 81 votes.
One of the surprises of the election
was the defeat of Auditor Dan P.
Stouffer, who lost to Lott Brown by
the narrow margin of three votes. Mr..
Brown carried the Second Ward by
two votes and his home ward by a
heavy majority. while Mr.. Stouffer
was an easy winner in the First Ward.
The official count will be made late
this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
While it is possible that this count
may change the result as announced
above, it is hardly probable that any
mistakes will be found in the returns.
The newly elected officers will take
their seats on Monday, May 6.
The unofficial vote by wards is as
follows:

Mystery ut the Opera house Saturday

and bonds to suit their own purposes
ANA while doing 50 the gang attempt
the ruin Of an aged man and his love-

a matter which has awakened not q
small amount of interest among Au-
guSta owners of fast steppers is the
proposition Of the Lewiston horSemen
to have a winter circuit in which races
will be held on the different ice tracks
which are maintained in various parts
Of the State. These tracks are always
to be found during the winter months
at Lewiston and Bangor. and while
Augusta has one at times on the Ken
nebec above the dam the track on the
ice at Hallowcll is maintained each
winter and is easily available from
both this city and Gardiner. The lat
ter city also has ample fields for a
good track if the occasion requires. 1t
is not yet known if the proposition will
assume tine form Of reality but if it
does it would bring some of the best
steppers of the different parts Of the
State together and would furnish no
end of sport. not only to the horsemen
themselves but to the people of the
cities in which the races were held The
outlook at present for ice racing is a
little uncertain. but the coming month
Will probably brighten matters to some
extent and the horsemen are patiently
awaiting the time when the river shall
be sealed by ice so that they may have
an opportunity of working out their
steppers. pleasure which they have
not enjoyed since the close Of the
summer circuit

a rival to the story which has been
going the rounds about the lilac bush
in Lewiston which, because of the mild
weather. has shown signs of putting
forth blossoms. has been found in one
which an Augusta lady has brought
up from Bowdoinham. The party in
question was at Bowdoinham on
Christmas day and on passing a small
pool OF water was surprised to hear
what they thought to be frogs piping
Pauaing to listen. and thinking the
while that they must have been mis-
taken, they heard the sound again, not
from one frog alone. but from several,
with no possibility of being mistaken.
The water in the pool was free Of ice
and the frogs which were making the
noise seemed to be as active as in the
sDringtime. the season when they give
their concerts. y gentleman to whom
the incident was mentioned said that
frogs piping at this time of year meant
that the winter was to be an open
one. with plenty of rain and high
wind.
