New York, Speclal.-r After a ? re markable campaign, In there wtui uaiwd against him neary all of the newspapers and practically every minister of religion Id t ehclty, Geo, B. McClellan, son of the civil war gen eral, was elected third mayor of Greater New York over Seth Low, tuslonist, the present mayor, by the large plurality of 70,000, Edward M. Grout was elected comp troller and Charles V. Pomes, pres ident of the board of' alderman. These twovmep were originally on the fusion ticket and were endorsed by Tam many," whereupon the fuslonlsts took their names from the Low ballots and nominated other candidates. It wa3 the nomination of Grout and Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh Mc Laughlin, the veteran leader of the King's county Democracy, to bolt and declare that he would not support men who w$re not Democrats. In splto of this defection, however, McLellan. L Grout and .Fornf B carried King's county. The management of their campaign there was taken over by State Senator Patrick '? McCarren, when McLaughlin refused his aid. A surprise -was the small vote for Wm. S. Devery, former chief of po lice, who ran on an independent tlck 'et, which was glvdn practically no sujiiWH. This result shows a tremen dous change In public sentiment since Mayor !>ow's election two yoars ago, when he won by 31,632. At that time he carried all the boroughs but Queen's, - his plurality in Manhattan and the Bronx being 5,663, In Brook lyn 25,767 and in Richmond 763. In. Queen '8, -Shepard, Democrats. had a plurality of 561. Tuesday ^pClelian carried Manhattan and, the Bronx by about 58,000; Brooklyn by about 6.000, S gain of 31,000. and Queen's by about 5,000, a gain of more than 4,000. This makes a total net gain for McClellan of about 103,000, as compared with Shepard 's vote of two years ago. Low carried only one borough ? Rich mond?by about 200 votes. The result was known early and at 8:15, Mayor Low sent a telegram to Col. McClei lnn, congratulating him on his elec tion, and saying: "If I can be of serv ice to yuu; pray command me." Co4.

It behooves us not only to rejoice greatly because of-what has been given lis, but to accept It with a bolcnui sense of responsibility, realiz ing that under heaven it rests with ua ourselves to show that we aro worthy to use aright what has thus been en trusted to our care. In no other place and ht no other tlmq^has the experi ment of government of the people, by the people, for the people, been tired On so vast a scale as here In our own country In the opening yearp of the twentieth century. Failure would not only be a dreadful thirig for us, but .a Oreadful thing for all mankind, because It would mean lo?s of hope for all who believe In the power and the righteous ness of liberty. Therofore, in thanking God for the mercies extended to 'us in the past we beseech Him that He may not withhold them in the future, and that our hearts may be roused to war steadfastly for good and against all the forces of evil, public and private. We pray for strength, and light, so that in Iho copilng years we may jvlth clean i linens, fearlessness and wlsBbm, do our allotted work on tho earth in such manner as to show that we are not al together unworthy of the blessings ye huve received. ? Therefore, ?

Some of the peculiar features of the disaster, in addition to the startling loss of life, are that the fire was prac tically extinguished in 20 minutes; that the police could learn of but one per son being injured, other than those who lost their lives, and tha-t the prop erty kwa wbb only $7,000.
