smile wreathed his face and a nimbus of victory was fast settling upon his brow. "Thomas Taggart," said Chair-> man Curtis, ‘‘will be elected by 2,700 votes over Trusler. Don’t say that, as I don't want anybody to lose money on my opinion. There has been one element of uncertainty, but I think it will be In Mr* Taggart’s favor. It is this: Persons who went Into the booths, especially in the Republican precincts that 1 have visited and heard from, tarried there a

good while. That’s all.'*

The trend of the vote Is not sufficiently clear to admit of a positive statement now as to who carried the city to-day. The Indications still are that Mr. Taggart has been elected mayor, but the Democrats are not claiming so large a ma-" lorlty as they d'd earlier In the day.

It has transpired that after the meats which were served at the wedding feast had been cooked, the wedding! had been postponed for four days. Between the interval of this postponement and the marriage the weather was very warm and the meats, which were not iced or otherwise

Their screams brought their ! father, who in his -efforts to save his j children was himself set on fire. A fran1 tic scene followed, and the youngest girl | ran into the yard and threw herself on the ground, while the father and his Eld-

The boy extinguished the flames about his own body, and, with the help; of neighbors who appeared upon the soeine, finally put out the tire that enveloped his sisters and father. The two gi^-ls, however, had been burned from head to foot, their bodies presenting one mass of blisters and burns, with the flesh peeling off in great' strips. Their eyes were burned out and the flames Inhaled. The eldest died at midnight, and the youngkst at 5 o'clock this morning. Both suffered great agony. The father will die,

and the son may not survive.

The general supposition is that one of the engineers became careless in the presence of a newly-diseovered body of gas, and Ins'ead' of adopting ihe precatltios of lowering his l.ght by stooping, he walked into the gas in an erect position, thereby setting it on fire and causing the awful j explosion. Another theory is that the ! fire boss himself was the pause of the accident. He had charge of the party, and

Paris, October 8.—A dispatch received here from Port Louis, Island of Mauritius, this morning announces the capture of Antananarivo, capita lof the island of Madagscar, by the French troops, and caused great relief to the government, as it has been recognized for some time past that the defeat of the French troops meant a change of ministry. The news quickly spread throughout the city, causing great excitement and much re-

joicing.

France and Madagascar have been at loggerheads for more than ten years, chiefly over the right of the government of Madagascar to act independently of the French resident in granting exequaturs to foreign consular agents and consuls. According to the French, by the treaty of December, 1886, the French resident and a military guard of French troops was to reside at the capital and control the foreign relations of Madagascar, making the island to all intents and purposes a French protectorate. The government of Madagascar has all along denied that the treaty gave France the rights she claimed, holding that M.’Le Myre de Vilers, the French diplomatic agent in 1887, entered into an agreement with Madagascar, on behalf of France, to the effect that the exequaturs of consuls and consular agents should be given in the future, as in the past, by the Queen of Madagascar, and that the later treaty did not change the situation. On this question is based the dispute which led to disturbances during which the representatives of France were insulted by the populace and slighted by the government of Madagascar, and, in addition, a number of Frenchmen were

assassinated.

In September, 1894, matters finally reached such a state that M. Le Myre de Vilers was sent to Madagascar wltn an ultimatum from the French government insisting in substance that France should control the foreign relations of Madagascar. The ultimatum was delivered to the

watchers i P rlme minister, Pamilaiariveny, who is

also the husband of Queen Ranavadona II. After several days of deliberation the prime minister rejected the ultimatum, saying that Madagascar would only submit to superioor force. M. De Vilers and all the French agents thereupon returned to Tamatave, and France began making preparations to bring the Hovas, the predominant tribe of the Island, to terms. In November last the French minister for foreign affairs, M. Hanotaux, asked for a credit of 65,000,000 francs and 15,000 men for an expedition to Madagascar, and his request was promptly granted. The expedition, which was planned by General Borgnis-Desbordes, left France in Janu-

Mr. Story was the poet of his class, and in 1844 delivered the Phi Beta Kappa poem at Harvard on "Nature and Art," in which he indicated the tastes which were to govern his future life. His first volume of poems was published in 1847 and in 1856 he delivered a poem at the dedication of the statue of Beethoven at

the Boston Music Hall.

In 1848 his fondness for art led to his going to Italy, where he had ever since resided, devoting his attention chiefly to sculpture. His statue of his father in the chapel of Mt. Auburn Cemetery; of Edward Everett, in the Boston Public Garden; busts of James Russell Dowell, Theodore Parker and Josiah Quincy and the sitting statue of Chief-Justice Marshall in front of the west terrace of the Capitol at Washington, are well-known examples of h!s art, and he modeled a bronze statue of George Peabody, which was erected in London in 1889, a replica of which was presented in 1888 to the city of Baltimore, through the liberality of Robert Garrett. He was a United States commissioner on fine arts to the World's Fair at Paris in 1879, and had received

General Conditions. The storm area moved rapidly eastward to the Atlantic coast and high pressure prevails over the country. The temperature fell everywhere, from 10 to 24 degrees at most stations. The temperature is below freezing from Wyoming, South Dakota and western Iowa northward. Heavy frost formed in the upper Mississippi valley. Rains fell near the gulf and Atlantic coasts, and rain and snow near the upper lakes.

out early In the morning. The sky most of the forenoon was clear, but toward noon clouds obscured the sun. Meantime the voting was going on merrily. It begrn early on the North Side, and in some of the precincts one-third of the vote on the poll books had been cast before 9 o'clock. This was one and perhaps the most encouraging feature note(^ by ihe Republicans, who said their heavy .vote would come from the North Side, and that information from the South S.de showed that there was no unusual zeal on the part of the Democracy up to noon. AT THE COMMITTEE ROOMS, Neither Side Seemed To Be Safferl**

From Overconfidence.

There was not a tone of over-confi-dence at either the Democratic or Republican committee rooms this morning. At each there seemed to be a feeling that tbe opponent’s forces were well organized, and that every effort would have to be exercised to get out a full vote. The earlier reports Indicated that the North Side vote was coming out heavily, while the voting on the South Side was slow. Campaigners who made a tour of the South Side said that it seemed that no election was in progress—all was so quiet. This was taken by both sides as a favorable indication for the Republicans, but both remarked that a light vote cn the South Side in the morning was. the usual thing, and this indication could rot be counted upon. The heavy vote of the South Side usually comes at noon, or from about 3 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The indications were that the Republicans were getting out their voters to* the North Side polls. It was reported to the^ Democrats that many of these Republican voters were casting their ballots for Tag-

gart.

A 10-o’clock report from all the precincts was brought by the bicycle corps to the Republican headquarters. Chairmtn Smith said that the reports showed a Re- | publican majority over all votes cast up to that time. All votes classed as scatti;*Ing were counted against the Republicans

in this count, he said.

Up to 12 o’clock^ ninety-eight votes had been cast in the Seventh precinct of the Eleventh ward, where the polling place Is in the Pyle House. The rope stretched

In the Fifth precinct of the Tenth ward, on the southwesfesegment of CJrclt stteet, Lee Nixon. Republican candldatf fo*- clerk, was watching the vote. At 10:30 he expressed the opinion that nobody could tell how the vote was going. Seventy votes had been cast, which wa* about the usual poll at that time at pre-

vious elections.

John Holtzman was watching the vot< for the Democrats in the Ninth precinct of the Eleventh ward, in W*8t Market street, immediate:;* east of the State House. At 10:30 o’clock, nlnety-twa votes had been cost. Mr. Holtzman sold fifty-six of these were booked as Democrats, but that he believed twelve Republican votes had gone in for Taggart. He failed, however, to give the source of information which led up to the beltet;

* THE SOUTH SIDE.

Aw Early Rash and Then w Lull—

Heavy Vote Ex peeted Later.

The vote in the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh. Twelfth, Thirteenth. Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards—the South Side—was light this forenoon. The polltiolans did not attach much significance to this fact, because, as they say, the South Side always votes from 3 to 6 o’clock in the afternoon. It seemed evident to person! who drove over the wards lying south ol Washington street that the customary interest was not being taken by the people in that section of the city.

Both sides appeared to be well organized for getting out the vote, but it seemed to be impossible to get men to the polls rapidly. Ths Democrats had a monopoly of the carriages and buggies In this section of the city, as usual, but they were not hauling many persons. It was reported at nearly all the precincts that there was a voting spurt soon after the polls opened. Men employed In the factories were anxious to vote before they went to work. After this rush had passed things wars exceptionally quiet until noon, when the factory vote began to come in again. — About all tbe Interest in the contest on the South Side seemed to center in ?he
