The vote was light in AL sections Of
the state. varying from 40 to 80 per
cent, with probable average OF a lit
tie more than so per cent.
The reports from west of the Mis-
souri, are very meagre because Of wire
trouble.
The democrats cast an extremely
light vote and 1t is doubtful if they
secured the 80 per cent necessary to
entitle them to place on the state
ticket, this will be overcome by APP
pointments by the state central COM
mittee.
The following are some reports by
counties:
cass County.
In the opinion of National Com
mitteeman James Kennedy, Cass coun-
ty returns as received by him. show a
straight stalwart victory from 500 to
1000. This is without any exceptions.
U. S. Senator McCumber and Judge
Engerud ran very strong in every
section, carrying practically every pre-
cinct in the county by handsome mar
gins.

tors office is busily engaged in check
ing and tabulating the returns. no
attempt has been made to reach totals

WHITE STAR LINER BALTIC
LIMPED INTO QUARANTINE.
Bow Plates Badly Smashed in ColIi-
sion With Tank Steamer.

New York, July 4.-The White Star
liner Baltic today limped into quaran-
tine several hours behind schedule
with her bow plates badly smashed
and bent by a head-on collision with
the German tank steamer Standard on
Friday morning. News OF the colli-
sion first reached the agents of the
White Star line here through a wire
less message from Captain j. ii. Ran
som, of the Baltic. one man was in
jured in the accident, a sailor on the
STANDARD. That vessel continued to
Copenhagen, where she was bound
from Philadelphia.
Z So severe was the damage to the
Baltic, however, that II was found
necessary to close her compartment
bulkheads and use her pumps con-
voyage. The ajscident occurred about
one thousand miles east of sandy
Hook.
The Baltic WAS never intended as a
speed marvel and her normal speed Is
about seventeen knots. She is capa-
BILE of carrying three thousand sas-
sengers in her four passenger decks
accommodated in her saloon at one
time. In the busy season she carries
a crew of three hundred, all told.
1t was the Baltic that responded TO
the wireless appeal for help from the
sinking Republic on the morning OF
January 49, 1909. and to her decks
were transferred the passengers both
from the Republic and the Florida,
with which the Republic had been in
collision.
Among the Baltic's passengers on
this trip were the Rev. Parker Morgan,
Mrs. Potter Palmer and Miss Clarice
Vance, the actress.

JEALOUSY CAUSED TRIPLE
TRAGEDY AT WATERBURY
Italian Shot His Wife, Brother in Law,

the police and a section Of the crowd.
lie sent a bullet through his brain
and was found lying in q pool Of blood
at the foot Of the stairway.
The triple tragedy was caused BY
jealousy. AVecchia had lived on tho
labor OF his wife for fifteen years. ever.
since they arrived In Waterbury. He
very rarely worked at his trade or
hod- carrier, most Of the time begging
money from his wife and indnlginE
in anarchistic talk. Three years ago
he was taken sick and his wife gave
him money to return 70 their home IN
Italy. lie remained there until four
months ago. when he returned TO Wa
terbury and again quartered himself
on his wife. lie became Jealous OF one
of the boarders in the house and drove
him out. A feG weeks later his wife
refused to have him around any long
er and sent him away. From that
time on he INDUCED in threats 20 kin
her and was brought before the court
some two months ago. HIS case was
continued in the belief that tho couple
could be brought together. Six weeks
ago while in st. Mary's hospital no
again threatened to kill his wiCe and
she again sought the protection OF tho
police. Tonight he went 20 the house
and asked his wife to take him back
She refused and he ran amuck. HIS
first two shots killed his wife. The
third disabled her brother. The fourth
laid low his stepson, and the last shot
blew out his own brains.

STEAMBOAT STRANDED
IN LONG ISLAND SOUND.
Eighteen Passengers Rescued After
Remaininq Aboard All Night.

New York, July AFTER spending
the night on the stranded steamer
Princeton, tilted over sand bar in
the Green Meadows between City ISL
and and Hart's Island, Long Island
Sound, eighteen passengers who re-
fused to leave the steamer in small
boats during the night were taken off
today and returned to their homes in
New York.
A dozen passengers, the first to an
ter the 1ifeboat, had a narrow esca pc
from drowning and were all drenched
when the boat filled, minute after it
had touched the water The plugs
which are used in the drain holes in
the bottom of the boat had not been
put in and the boat filed as soon as 1t
touched the water. 1t had not been
disconnected from the davits. however,
and was hoisted at once with no seri-
Gus results.
Twenty-one passengers. including
several women and children, braved
the experience of a trip in the life
boats and reached their homes in the
city before daylight.
The Princeton which belongs to the
Glen Island Amusement company, went
aground early today while making its
final trip from Glen Island to Pier 1,
North river. The steamer struck the
sand bar in Green Meadows. about a
quarter of a mile from City Island.
The bow scraped over the bar before
the engines were shut off and with
the further fall of the tide the stern
rose in the air. fitting the vessel at an
appreciable angle. Captain Newman,
in charge of the steamer, explained to
the passengers that there was abso-
1ute1y no danger, however and those
who wished to remain aboard were
made as comfortable as possible for
the night. Others were taken of in
the lifeboats.
The steamer is in absolutely no dan
ger. according to Captain Newman, and
will be f1oated with little damage or
expense
