WATERYILLE

Watervile, Me, March 2.-(SpeeiaD.
in one of the most bitterly fought
political contests ever held in the
city of Waterville, the Democratic
nominee, L. E. Willard, was elected
Monday by majority of 204 votes. In
five out of the seven wards of the
city the Democratic party scored
decisive majority in the voting for the
mayors office
In Ward /, the contest was a close
one up until a short time before the
closing of the polls at o'clock, when
a large number of Democratic votes
were polled and when the final count
was given out it was found that the
billiard majority had reached AZ votes
in all. In Ward >, the contest was a
great deal closer than in the first case,
and until the count was officially Civ
en- out there was room for doubt. The
final count in that Ward was Hilliard
1872, Noyes 142. Ward 8, as usual, sus-
tanned it's good record and turned in
1874 for Noyes as against los for Hill
lard.
In all the remaining wards, the
Democratic vote was heavy and eX-
ceeded in some cases the figures of
last year, with the exception of Ward
5. where Noyes swamped Hilliard,
polling 215 to his 119.
Exclusive of these two wards, the
Democratic vote was an unusually
heavy one. and showed the effects OF
a strongly intrenched party. Without
a doubt the inclemency of the weather
had a great deal to do with the small
number OF votes cast by the Repupll-
can party which, although strongly
united. needed the votes of the farm
ers out of town, who were unable 10

bad going.
The showing of the Democrats is not
so encouraging when the election is close-
ly scrutinized and compared with the re-
suits in former years. which. with the
execution of last year when Pattangalf S
majority was cut down to less than 40

number of votes the 200 mark.

BACKING The
FEDERAL CLUB
ATPITTSBURC

Chicago, March 2.-President Gilmore
of the Federal League announced to-
night that "a Pittsburgh millionaire"
had decided to become hacker of the
club in his town. Stories that Henry
c. F'rick of Pittsburgh had seriously
contemplated taking an active part in
the national game have been current
for some time, and though Gilmore
would not say that Mr.. Frick was
the man, followers of the game here
believe he is.
The announcement was made after
a conversation oyer the long distance
telephone between Gilmore and W. A.
Kerr of Pittsburgh, in which the lat
ter is said to have promised that the
deal would be closed on Thursday in
New York.
The telephone conversation led
President Gilmore tc declare that any
attempt by organized baseball to sign

that would threaten the foundations
of the organized faction.

Philip Howard DEM

Rockland, Me, March 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis regained possession of the city
today after lapse of five years. dur
ing which they have had little or no
representation in the city council.
Philip Howard, who is serving his
last year as county attorney. after
longer ineumbency in that office than
any other county attorney in Maine
has ever had, was elected mayor over
John Lovejoy Republican, by vote OF
S43 to S27 incidentally, it was Mr..
Lovejoys first defeat in the FIVE may
orally campaigns in which he has en-
gagged, at four different times since
1874.
Mr. Howard will be supported by
city council which will be composed or
l6 Democrats and IL Republicans. In
ward seven the vote for alderman was
tie and a special election probably
will be held tomorrow. The overturn
was attributed to the heavily increased
tax rate imposed by the outgoing adj
ministration.
The Democratic aldermen elect are
Lucius Duncan, JOS. Drinkwater, Thos.
j Foley and John j. Wardwell, and
the Republican aldermen elect, Robert
C. Bicknell and Patrick McAuliffe.

and lightship in last nights gale. The
barges which made up the tow of the
New York tug Edgar F. Luckenbach
broke away from the tug during the
terrific gale which was sweeping the
coast The tow was bound to this city
from Norfolk.
The Edgar F. Luckenbach and her
sister tug, the Edward Luekenbaeh,
the latter being sent out from New
Bedford to day, searched the coast
of Long Island all day today and had
not returned to New Bedford tonight.
No report of the barges having come
ashore has been received and in the
opinion of seafaring men here, the
barges which were both old craft,
have gone to the bottom, carrying
their crews The Edgar F. Lueken-
bach is the same tug which lost the
barges Undaunted and A. NJ. Ropes off
Barnegat on Dec. 20, causing the death
of eight men.
The tug and her tow made heavy
weather up the coast and last night
the tow line broke. The heavy seas
and roaring gale quickly swept them
out of sight of the tug.
On the Frank Pendleton were Capt.
Alex Englebloom Of New York, Albert
Clark of Maine, 50, a cook; Arthur H.
HUMPHREYS, so, and George Mosier. AZ,
of New London. The latter two were
deckhands. The Josephus carried five
men,. Capt. Charles McIrney of Phila-
delphia, and four others whose names
are not known.
A wireless message from the Fire
Island lightship notified the New York
office of the Luckenbach Transporta-
ton Co, of the loss of the barges. -
