Ashton asserted that the tracks were laid
several years ago in accordance with a
grade made by former City Engineer Ri

grade being subsequently made threw the
tracks up above the street He said that

 Mayor Ward recipfocated in the Seventh, and his vote went for Captain or Brien. It is probable that this courtesy has never before been Duplicated in this state, if in any other.
 The magnificent race made by George Bodeker was perhaps the surprise of the day. It was generally believed that Weir would win, and the majority probably that Austin would run second
 Of the registered voters a heavy poll was made. It is probable that never be- fore did such large percentage of those registered go to the polls. The day was beautiful one and this fact brought the voters out. Another surprise was found in the race for the mayoralty It was not generally believed that Captain O. Bren would make such splendid race. His own cohorts, however, are not only disappointed at the result sbrt are sur prised, too.
 The campaign was one of Athe shortest in the history of the city. it's duration be- ing but one month. The campaign was one flercely fought, in which the candi- dates stubbornly contested every inch of ground. The thoroughness of the cam paign is exemplifed in the large mum Der of voters, and the closenessl of the result. Vote for Chief. The vote for chief of police by wards follows:

OWNED BY TIE GOVERNMENT
Gas Explosion Is Thought to Have Been the Cause of the Disaster. lgnlted by Defective Lamp.
 Near Laredo, Tex.

Laredo, Tex, February 1S.-Word reached this city late tonight through telegrams from Monterey. Mexico, of a disastrous mine explosion which occurred in the Las Conqui.ta mine, No. 3 of the Las Esperanzas district, in which thirty miners are known 0 have lost their lives
 The dead and injured, however, may be increased to seven1y-hve when full de- tails are received. According to meager reports the explosion occurred at ' o'clock tonight. shortly after the night shift had commenced work in the mine. The explosion is thought to have been caused by gas which ignited from a de- fectve lamp carried by one of the miners.
 The accident is the most serious that has occurred in this district since the mine disaster which occurred in the Barartorna mines in this district a year ago, in which nearly i00 lives were lost.
 Las Esperanzas is & town of about 5000 Inhabitants and is made up almost en- tlrely of employees of the coal mines. It is situated seventy-five miles from Eagle Pass. Conditions are in such a chaotic state that reliable information to the ex- act number of dead is not at present available The dispatcher's office at Monclavia reports that special train with physicians and medical supplies has been dispatched to tho scene of the ex- plosion, but there is little hope that many have escaped alive.
 The train is expected to reach the scene of the accident about 8 a. m. It is not thought any Americans have lost their lives as with the exception of mine bosses all the employees are foreigners. The mines were recently owned by the In- ternational railroad and were acquired by the government when the control of that road was assumed.
