CITY ELECTION.
CLOSE AND EXCITING CONTEST
IN ELLSWORTH.
DEMOCRATIC MAYOR, TWO DEMO
CRATIC AND TWO REPUBLICAN AZ
DERMEN ELECTED-TIE FOR AL
DERMAN IN WARD FOUR.

The municipal election in Ellsworth
Monday was close and e4piting. The cam
paigD was short, but developed rapidly,
and unusual conditions added to the in
terest aroused. This, and favorable
weather conditions, brought out large
vote.
Honors Of the election are divided. The
democrats elected Charles II. Leland
mayor, by q majority Of twelve, and alder
men in wards and s. The republicans
elected aldermen in wards 2 and 8. In
ward A the vote was tie.
This causes another interesting situa-
tion. Under the terms Of the city charter
George w. Pstten, the present alderman
from ward 4, holds office until his success
sor is elected and qualified. This special
election will be held March 20, but before
then the new city government meets to
organize and elect minor city officers.
With Alderman Pstten retaining his seat,
the republicans will have majority OF one
on the board.
The vote in detail printed below affords
some interesting comparisons. Mr.. Hagan,
against whom the bitterest fight of the
campaign was waged, developed great
strength. He ran ahead OF the candidate
for alderman on his ticket in three Of the
five wards.
Following Is the vote in detail, with the
vote for mayor in 1893 the last year in
which there was a contest at the municipal
election-printed for comparison:

NAVAL ACCIDENTS
CAUSE FRANCE To
START AN INQUIRY
\
Plot to Blow Up Warships
Now Is More Strongly
Suspected.

TOULON, Sept. 26.-That the destruc-
non of the magnificent French battle
ship Iiberte may have been the result
OF deliberate plot to destroy the en-
tire navy, is a suspicion that rapidly Is
gaining ground among naval officers to-
Gay.
The many mysterious fires in the
naval arsenal here. the accidents to
ships in drydock, and. finally, the fact
that fire was discovered in the hold
of the battleship La Patrie late last
night, which required a desperate bet
officials to intimate that the most rigid
investigation is necessary.
1t is understood that the French Sc
cret service has been or Tered to take
charge of the maU'er at once.
The fire on La Patrie was near the
diately flooded. and the fire finally eN-
tinguished. The naval officials now
place the number killed by the explosion
on the Lberte at f35, but these figures
will be revised when roll calls are COM
pleted on the ships, and the number OF
men on leave located.
Five sailors who were imprisoned IN
the forward tunct. part of which Is
still above the water, were rescued tc-
day none the worse for their experience.
Later three additional seamen only
slightly hurt were taken from the,
covered alive. The work of getting the
dead out was then begun.
Up to late this afternoon fifty bodies
had been taken from the forward part
of the demolished ship.
Although. the officials privately say
that the list of dead Will exceed 400, the
minister of marine this afternoon is
sued a statement placing the number
dead and missing at 204 and The wound
ed at 1874.

ReScuerS Hard at
Work Trying to Save
Sailors Held in Ruins

TOULON, Sept. 96.-While the dry
docks are being hastily put into shape
10 receive the Verite, Republique, and
Democratic, all badly damaged as the
result of the fire that destroyed the
Iiberte- yesterday, detaChments from ev-
cry ship in the harbor were working on
the wreckage of the Liberte. trying to
rescue men known TO be alive in tire
debris.
A repair ship is anchored alongside
the mass of wreckage, only a small por-
ton of which is still above water. Tho
chrome steel plates are being burned
through with acetYlene jets, but the
work is very slow because of the danger
of dislodging some of the plates and
crushing the victims in their prison be-
low.
List Growing.
The official count of the dead and in
jured is progressing. and it is now GER
tain the list will be nearly 400.
Minister CT Marine Delcasse and Ad-
miral Germinet, after a personal inVeS-
tigation and talks with the survivors,
rejected the opinion of the experts that
deflagration of the b powder in the
magazines caused the explosion. They
say they are convinced the fire started
in the oil store room
There is disposition today to blame
the higher officials of the Liberte for
being absent The fact that the cap
tian and next two in command were
away, and that the warshir was in COM
mand of a senior lieutenant injured
discipline. it is said. 1t is also intimated
that the best means were not employed
in fighting the fire.
Had experienced officers been on duty
1t Is intimated, bunkers and magazines
would have been flooded simultaneously
with the fire and an explosion would
have been impossible.
To Fix Responsibility.
The court of inquiry to determine the
responsibility for the disaster will be
named at once. 1t viii consist of officers
of flag rank, and they Will be ordered
not only to fix responsibility but to rec
ominend changes i'll construction to pre-
vent such disasters in the future.
The Toulon waterfront has been trans
formed into vast hospital and mOrgue.
Many OF the victims are so badly
mangled that recognition is impossible.
III the temporary hospitals hastily es-
tablished terribly burned seamen are
being cared for. OF fifty injured sailors
in the chief marine hospital, twenty
five have already died and few of the
others can recover.
