TOTAL VOTE CAST.

Chicago, April 2.--The most intense
campaign in municipal palities chi
cago has experienced in many years
closed tonight with the election OF
Frederick A. Busse, Republican candl'
date for mayor, over Edward -
Dunno his Democratic rival and n
candidate for reelection. by plur-
ality of 1900 to $4,000. Theissues
in the campaign have been largely
based upon imra oyement of the local
traction systems. Both parties were
agreed the pres Mt conditions We're in
tolerable, but differed as to the best
method to be employed in revising
them. The Democratic party aded
by Dunne stood for immediate muni-
cipal ownership through the condem-
nation of the stree car properties, II
The result could not be obtained in any
other way.
Republicans favored the ordinances
which we're recently passed by Dem
ocratic council over Dunna's veto,
These ordinances provided for twenty
year franchises for street car com
panies. the city retaining the right to
r,s. chase the systems for $4,000 600
Mus the amcuni to BE- spent for i'm
mediate rehabilitation of the lines
The ordinances also provides for
universal transfers throughout the
city scent fares and fifty-flve per
cent of the MT revenue of the com
panies to be paid the city. The fight
for and against the adoption of these
ordinances has been exceedingly bit
Ter. They wer carried today by ma
iority of about SO 1000. Tie vote today
showed a decided reversal of public
oplnlon on the question Of municipal
ownership compared with the last
mayorali;y campaign two years ago.
AT that time Dunno received 16S 1873
votes against 13S.G71 for John NJ. Har-
Ian Republican leader. The Prohibi-
Zionist ticket received 1924 votes and
Socialists 23.034 This year the Re-
nuhliean vote was close to l65 600 and
that of the ID mocrats close to l4S.OO0.
The Prohibition vote ran slightly
above that of two years ago. while the
Socialist vote fell off heavily, it he
ing mere than IL 600 less than that Of
the las. city election.
The campaign has. be one of the
most vicious the city has ever known.
Charges and counter charges have
baen hurled back and forth. the per-
sonal lives of candidates have been
held up 10 the public and throughout
the entire campaign. speakers on both
sfdes indulged night after night in

 Fire Above Them.
FLAMES ADD TO TERROR

Waterbury, Conn.,, October 5.--One hun dred and fifty men were buried for time tonight in the collapse of the North End Athletic club building in this city during a republican rally, and 2S seriously hurt
 After the fall of the big structure tte ruins took fire and burned for an hour while the victims lay struggling and shriel<ing Tn the cellar beneath the flames Scarcely one of those in the crash es- capped bruises, but the casualties were all surprisingly small.
 Among those hurt are John E. Sewell the republican candidate for Mayor of Waterbury; State Senator Irving H. Chase, one of the best known politicians in Connecticut, and Harry Dean. a prom inent party worker. who is dying of his injuries in hospital.
 Sewell had finished an address and the crowd, rising to it's feet, cheered and stamped wildly.
 The demonstration set the building trembling moment later the whole floor caved in and fell with @ terrific crash into the cellar, carrying with It at least 150 men who had been unable to escape. The collapse overturned kero- sene lamp that had been set amid the electric lights upon the rostrum, and this lamp exploded among the huddled heaps of men and debris at the bottom.
 The entire police force was immediately set to work digging for men while fire men trained every line of hose available upon the blaze in an effort to keep it from eating downward to the buried vic- tims
 The fire burned an hour before 1t was finally subiued. and when it had been smothered most of the men still lay at the bottom.
