DEMOCRATS SWEEP
BALTIMORE CITY.
Mayor, Comptroller and President
Second Branch Elected. Large
Majorities in Both First and
Second Branches of the Council.

While the impression prevailed in
the~counties, and for that matter,
among the residents of the city,
too, that the Democratic nominees
for the city offices would be cleo
ted by large pluralities, the returns
show that James H. Preston, the
Democratic nominee for Mayor, had
a narrow escape from defeat at the
hands of Ex-Mayor Timanus. Last
night the returns indicated that the
election was extremely close, with
the chances favoring Preston, and
the final figures confirmed this i'm
preston, Mr.. Preston being elected
by a majority of $50 out of total
vote of 94,236. For Comptroller,
John Hubert, who was a favorite in
East Baltimore for the Mayoralty
nomination, and who is recognized
as one of the most popular public
men in that city, led the ticket, poll
Elect. Mr.. Hubert's majority is by
far the largest, he winning over Ad-
Olson E. Mullikin, the Republican
candidate for the Presidency OF the
Second Branch, by plurality OF
6,116. James R. Thrift, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Comptroller,w won
by a majority of 4,10S over George
R. Heffner, the Republican candi-
date.
The Democrats elected six of
their candidates for the Second
Branch, while the Republicans cleo
ted but two, making the vote in
that Branch stand to 2, the Presi-
dent making the 7th Democrat. The
members of this Branch of the
Council elected are: George Hell
Ter, John H. Trautfeller, Edwin R.
Downes, Isaac Frank, Duke Bond,

STEAMER ESSEX AbLAzE.
NJ, D. and V. Vessel Partly De-
stroyed at Light Street Wharf.

The steamer Essex, of the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia Rail-
way Company, was partly destroyed
by fire of unknown origin which
started in the hold at 4.20 o'clock
yesterday afternoon while lying at
Pier 8, Light street, Baltimore.
Within Is minutes the entire hold
of the vessel was a seething fur
mace and two hours later it was ly-
ing on the bottom Of the channel,
the massive hull leaning against the
pier. The hold was flooded with
water, large holes torn in the sides
the pilot house shattered and the
upper decks strewn with debris.
The damage to the vessel is es-
timated at $4,000, while the loss
on the cargo is placed at $1,000.
The Essex is valued at $4,000 and
was insured for $4,000.
The Essex was to have left at 6
o'clock with 100 tons of fertilizer
for points on the Potomac river as
far as Leonardtown, St. Mary's coun
ty. The vessel was placed on the
run as an extra and no passengers
were booked for the trip. The boat
had been lying at the pier since l
o'clock yesterday morning.
The cause of the fire will prob
ably never be- ascertained. The Off
GERS are at loss to account for it.
Smoke was first seen issuing from
an unused stateroom in the stern by
Quartermaster Walter A. Green who
notified Capt. Emerson o. Harding,
master of the vessel. The latter
sounded the alarm. The changing OF
the engine bells and the piercing
shrieks of the Essexs siren drew
to the scene thousands of specta-
tors.
With the promptness and preci-
sion gained by weekly fire drills,th
crew, under the direction of Capt.
Harding, started a fight for con-
quest. AS full steam was up pre-
paratory for sailing, the pumps were
brought into instant use and sew
eral streams of water from the
ships lines were turned into the
hold.
Mr.. D. w. Downing, agent for
the company and in charge of the
pier, sounded a second alarm, and
Mr.. B. F. Coster, also an agent for
the company, summoned the fire
boat Cataract. The second alarm
brought to the scene Chief Engi-
neer Horton, President Edward M.
Parrish, of the Board of Fire Com
missioners, who picked up Mayor
Mahool at Charles and Chase Sts..
and took him along; Fire Commits
sioner Giles j. Shaw, who took up
station on the fireboat, and State
Fire Marshal Thomas Ewell. The
third alarm was sent in by District
Chief Burkhardt.
The tugs Ashland, Transport, E.
S. Booth, Atlantic and Transfer did
good service and had lines thrown
to the burning steamer in case it
was found necessary to tow her in

to the harbor. The new fireboat
Deluge was held in readiness in case
of need. The Cataract was sent
first on account of her size, which
enabled her more readily to ma
neuver in and out among the piers.
Dense volumes of black smoke
poured out of the companionways
and portfolios of the burning steam
er, which hung over the harbor in
clouds. So rapidly did the flames
spread that Purser A. ]. McKerich-
er was forced to jump from a port
hole into the water.
John Richardson, of Curtis Bay, a
deck hand, was thrown into the wa
ter by shot of flame. He was
rescued by District Chief Kahl, who
threw him a line The captain and
crew refused to leave the vessel.
They stayed until the last.
The position of the fire made it
impossible for the firemen to play
their streams directly on it, and
the only method they could employ
was to flood the hold. More than
25 streams of water from the en-
gines, tugs and fireboat were
brought into action at one time, and
soon the Essex was turning over on
its side and gradually settling to the
bottom of the 12-foot channel. After
passing the line of equilibrium the
boat fell with crash against Pier
3, ripping up the decks and pilot
house.
Not until the last moment did
the firemen leave, and Lieut.. Bell,
acting captain of No. 1 Truck, was
the last to quit the deck Seeing
the vessel had settled on the bot
