this neighborhood yielded to the young hurricane. Yesterday morning the walks and streets were strewn with tree branches and leaves. One of the smokestacks of the New Haven Iron & Steel company, near the foot of Ex- change street, was blown over and in- jured the roof of the mill and also struck on the roof of freight car on the tracks of the Manufacturers rall- road.
 Considerable time was given yester- day to talking over the election, figur- ing out the results in various wards and conjecturing over the causes of this last political revolution. One Of the big surprises was the result in that staunch republican ward, the Eff teenth, which went democratic by 24 majority, or just two votes short of the majority given for Martin in the strong republican Ninth ward. Jona- than N. Rowe who formerly lived in the Fifteenth, ran away ahead of his ticket there and also ran ahead in the other Fair Haven wards for the posi- tion of controller. For alderman at large, Andrew P. Allen of the Eff teenth ward made the best run of all the aldermen at large. In the Eleventh ward, Andrew M. Grove, the republi- can who was a candidate for alder man, ran six ahead of his ticket, al- though defeated by Richard B. Healy and in the Fourteenth ward, Berne A. Russell, republican, reelected, ran seven ahead of his ticket There was great rejoicing over here by the demo- crats; and the republicans, while dis appointed, seemed to be of opinion that when such a strong republican ward as the Ninth went democratic, there must be something the matter and look forward to future victories under more favorable auspices.
