MAKE BIG GAINS % % ? Demerits Via a Sweqiiar Victory Ike Ckicaye Election WINS THE FIFTH TIME Majority ior mrn'r iininauii, i/vmv cratic Candidate, About Eighteen Thousand?There Was a Great Falling Off in the Republican Vote, While the Democrats Gained. Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chicago, from 1897 until 1905, and son of Carter H. Harrison, Sr., who occupied the mayor's office from 1879 to 1887, and was assassinated during the World's Fair, was elected mayor for the fifth time Tuesday. He defeated Charles E. Merriam, his Republican opponent, by 17,082 votes, gaining a total of 177,358 votes. lu spite of the opposition of a majority of the local press, the election was almost a complete Democratic victory. Tbo election of Fred Con and Henrr Stuck ?ci f , cu? art, for city treasurer, early was conceded, although a count of their total vote has not been completed. The Democratic majority of the city council has been Increased by a dozen members. Prof. Charles E. Merriam, his Republican opponent, conceded cne election to'Mr. Harrison at 6:30, two and a half hours after the polls closed, but declared that results were such as would give him hope for an other campaign. He said: "I am satisfied with the fight we have made. We have presented the issuee of decent, honest, economical government squarely to the voters in a way that cannot fail to help conditions. The battle must be fought Knf manv Hmor and In the nut UUV/C( MUV itiuu/ ? long run it will prove successful. I congratulate Mr. Harrison on his victory and wish him well in his administration. Returns by wards show that Prof. Merriam was given nearly 7 per cent less votes than Busse (Republican) was accorded four years ago, while Harrison ran over 17 per cent ahead of the figures attained by Dunne (Democrat) at that time. The vote reached above 340,000, which is about 25,000 more than the record at the same time in the last mayoralty contest. In spite of this both ' sides agreed that Merriam lost ' through failure of the "silk stocking" wards to show the strength ex- 1 pected. ' Even In the twenty-fifth ward, J where Merrlam's candidacy was con- ( ceived, failure of Merriam supporters to vote caused the professor's total to e drop far below what had been expect- 1 ed. Harrison announced as soon as this ward had been reported that he * had won and prepared a statement. * After this ward had reported the re- v suit never was in doubt." *= While the first ward gave up its * usual Democratic plurality, it was ( not alone from this, and the river v wards of similar character, that Harison drew his support. His eight a years' service in the mayor's chair r drew out many from the ranks his 1 opponent had not counted on, and his v \ promise of 70-cent gas was said by e V;i^s managers to have had a great in- 0 with the West Side wards, 1 wher<? he showed unexpected strength. 8 One of the features of the cam- 8 paign was the vote polled by the So- g cialist party. Five-sixths of the total precincts in the first indicated that the vote would reach 2 4,000, a gain of 11,000 over the vote of four years \ ago. On the other hand the prohibition vote dropped to 3,000 this year, as against 11,000 last year. CHILI) LOST TEN YEARS. ] Youth Mown Awuy in Galveston Hur- 1 r ricane is Recovered. ^ In the hurricane and tidal wave on Sept. 8, 1900, the three-year-old 1 son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wood- 1 eon, of El Dorado, Tex., who wore J visiting relatives near llolivar, on * Galveston bay, was swept away when ( the house was carried by the sea in- J land nearly a mile. A few days ago a ^ traveling salesman heard the story of the finding of the child in a pasture 1 by a man, who placed the boy in an 1 asylum in San Antonio. The salesman knew the Woodsons, who have since moved to Kansas City, and the ( child now nearly 14 years old, was traced to a family near Fredericksburg, Tex. The family adopted the child six years ago. Identity was established by a gold ??<? ?.. J 11 - i - meaai witn me cnnu s huuhim engraved on it, which he wore when he was swept away, and a birthmark on the body. The parents believed the boy had been carried to sea. Dashed Three Stories. Pitching from the third floor of a Fourth avenue office building Monday morning the body of Dr. C. C. Godshaw landed on the street euro below, almost in the midst of a crowd of pedestrians on their way to business. The plunge resulted in death for the physician, who was well known In professional circles and ae live in civic affairs. I GAME DID NOT WORK PRETENDED CORPSE FAIIiKD TO MOVE THE OLD MAN. Young Man Tried to Fool Money Out of His Father by Pretending to be Dead. The Atlanta Journal says Lewis E. Pohlman, 3 0 years of age, an Atlanta electrician, who lives at 15 Short street in that city, enjoys the A# linlnor a vminc trinn UlSllUCUUll Wl uv'Uf, u / vu?o whose father won't trust him, eithei alive or dead. He has tried it both ways. Pohlman, who used to bo a soldier with the 17th regiment at Fort McPherson, found himself recently out of funds. He was not in good standing with his father, a respected merchant in Harrisville, Pa., ana knew it would be useless to appeal for help. So he decided on a rather startling plan to soften the father's heart and loosen his pocketbook. He spent his last small change to send a Western Union message, which read as follows: "E. Pohlman, Harrisville, Pa.: Your son, Lewis, has just died of of t h * hnanftal here. put: uiiiuuK*, uw v.iv ? - -? Please send $80 to cover expenses for shipping his remains to you. (Signed) "A. B. CARNES." Then he waited an answer. But It didn't come. Apparently the old gentleman had little more confidence In his son dead than he had previously had for him living. At any rate, Instead of send the money to "Carnes," he got a Harrlsvllle undertaker to wire Barclay A Brandon to look Into the case. , Lewis Pohlman, pretending to be "Carnes," got wind of this and went to Barclay A Brandon. He was promptly arrested, and confessed to the whole transaction. NEGRO TELLS OF MURDER. Got Mad Because He Was Not Bail e<l for Selling Boom. Becoming enraged because his white "friends" would not pay him ' out of jail when he was arrested for ' selling whiskey In violation of the state prohibition law, a negro at Garfield, a station on the Savannah, Augusta & Northern railway, 25 miles from Statesboro, Ga., told the officers of a murder said to have been ' committed by a white man named Mullins in December last. He said the body of s negro was buried down in a swamp near Garfield and instructed the officers to go there and iig. Fearing they would not find the ' jxact spot, the officers carried the legro with them and it is said he ook them with no difficulty to where le helped bury the negro. He says le had no hand in the killing, but the vhite man made he and another ne rro bury the corpse. They began ' o dig and in a short while it is said, ' he decomposed body of the negro ^as found. It is said the negro was killed ibout the middle of December and lothing had been heard of it until he negro was arrested for selling ^ whiskey and his white friends refusd to come to his rescue, when he beome "sore" and revealed the secret, t is understood the sheriff of Email uil county has been notified and is earching for the murderer. It is aid that the accused white man has ' ;one to parts unknown. THIRTY-FOUR REBELS SLAIN. tegulurs Surprise Insurrectos Near Chihuahua.
