The Republicans
Win a Glorious
Battle.
Large Majorities Rolled
Up for All the Lead
ing Candidates.
Kleber Osburn is a Politi
cal Corpse at Last.
GEORGE JOHNSON'S GRAND RUN
Frank Taylor Elected Hayor aud Hon
est Citizens of Astoria are
Vindicated.
There is always some satisfaction In a
triumph, In a victory won after a long
and difficult struggle against overwhelm
ing odds. Such a triumph Is ours today,
and the Astorian In claiming its share of
a great popular success gladly gives full
credit to the workers of the Republican
party who so nobly held their own in
the various precincts of the city during
yesterday's election. The Republicans
elect eight candidates out of eleven. They
have won the whole three seats In the
council, deposed Dr. Kinney and put In
his stead Mr. Frank J. Taylor, elected
Mr. Henry Nelson to the position of aud
itor and police Judge, and have forever
killed off the political aspirations of that
"reformed" demagogue, Mr. Kleber Os
burn; they have made Mr. Chas. Holt
superintendent of streets, by an enor
mus majority, and Harry Bell Is the
new city surveyor.
The election has been full of incident
and neither side has left any stone un
turned to secure a victory. The course
of this paper throughout the campaign
has been dictated simply and purely by
a desire to secure for the city of Astoria
a clean and honest government. It is a
rratter of gratification to know that we
have been almost entirely successful.
Mr. C. J. Curtis has been elected city
attorney. We havo done our utmost to
defeat him. His opponent, an absolutely
new man, running against a candidate
who was conceded to be one of the
strongest "pullers" of votes in this city,
has not only run him a remarkably close
race, but has actually beaten him In Un
ion town, a part of the city which Mr.
Curtis has for years claimed to have un
der his thumb. The result Is a virtual
victory for Mr. Johnson, and every citi
zen of Astoria who sees in this vote
the gleam of better and purer election
methods, will heartily congratulate him
on his splendid showing.
Of llr. F.ank J. Taylor, our new mayor,
we need say nothing. Not only himself,
but the .whole city, is to be congratu
lated on his success. Mr. Nelson snowed
his opponent under in every ward and
Mr. ICleber Osburn, the gentleman whom
"nobody could push buttons on" has been
ignomlniously thrown out from any fur
ther participation In our public affairs.
Altogether it is a magnificent victory,
pointing to the death of corrupt and dis
eased methods in city affairs, and pav
ing the way for a future, in which Asto
ria shall be governed by a pure and ca
pable Republican administration.
Dr. Kinney's political life Is over. In
bidding him adieu we feel compelled to
acknowledge our sorrow that the end of
his public career has been so undignified
and so pitiful.
Republicans, keep up your organization
and let this victory, won after a hard
and up-hill struggle, be but the pre
cursor of a grander and more potent vic
tory next June.
Vesterday's election was one of the most
exciting and thoroughly fought out pollt
Ira I context that ever took place In this
city. For several days matter had been
gelling warm and all the candi'ln'-
and organized bodies of their friends
wer working hard. The "Ctttaen" cry.
howled so successfully during two pre
3?)
vious city eleetionr, was worked for all
It was worth but the people who make It
tholr business to figure up the political
situation saw at the beginning ot the
week that the old melody had lost its
charm. Even the most knowing ones,
however, failed to forecast the results
with any accuracy, for the great majority
of voters kept very quiet and went to the
polls to cast their ballots without giving
their predilections away Derorenanu.
The morning opened well, the weather
being fine and favorable, and though the
rain began to come down in the after
noon, the heaviest vote in the city's his'
tory was polled a total of slightly over
1600. Most of the prominent candidates
watched the voting at No. 1 Engine
House very closely during the early part
of the day, and a great many ballots were
cast there before noon. At 1 o'clock the
clerks had tallied up 425 votes, and at the
close of the polls the figures were 440.
The following are the final returns from
all four precincts. These figures while
generally exact may be subject to slight
alteration though the majorities in all
cases are approximately correct. It was

Southern Pacific Influence Will
Not Be Against Us.
Hammond flag Purchased the Kails
for the Goble Road-Work
to be Pushed.
Much comment was evoked yesterday
from the publication in the -Astorian ot
the announcement made by the Orego-
nian that the reason the Southern Pa
cific has not Included the Oregon Central
and Eastern road In Its right against the
O. R .and N. was because Huntington Is
behind Hammond In both of the tatter's
railroad enterprises, the Intimation be
ing that when Hammond's lines were
completed their combination with the 8.
P. would be used In the fight against the
Navigation Company, or at least tho com
p tltion of the Eastern could be stopped,
ar.d that for the present It was not worth
wln.e to notice the Eastern's road's com
petition, although that line by its Yaqulna
.me to San Francisco has given the
Southern Paclflo many hard digs. Many
lu " also expressed the opinion that If
Huntington was to have such an Influence
In the Astorla-Goble road as one of Its
backers, it might be in his power to Hhut
oft Astoria from a connection with the
O. R. and N., which would be disastrous
to the principal business of this port.
In an Interview yesterday with Mr. T.
H. CurUs, president of the Northwest
Construction Co., that gentleman did not
hesitate to say that such fears were
groundless.
"In the first place, Mr. Huntington Is
only one of a syndicate, admitting that
he has any interest, back of Mr. Ham
mond, and the present rate war In the
Willamette Valley affects the Oregon
Central and Eastern as much as It does
the O. R. and N. To eventually refuse
connection between the Astorla-Goble
road and the O. R. and N.. would be the
height of folly and completely foil one of
the prime factors of the earning capacity
of the Goble road, as the grain of the
O. R. and N. will be a large part of Its
tonnage, and such a policy would be sui
cidal, even had Mr. Huntington the sin
gle handed power atrlbuted to Iilm by
some people. He would be only one of
rr.anv owners of this property. My opln.
Ion would be that no such fears need be
entertained for a moment"
A letter was received the other day
from Mr. Hammond, which was seen yes
terday by a well known real estate man
of Astoria. In jhich that gentleman an
nouneed th fact that he purchased the
ateel rails for the entire Goble road. This
no doubt was one of the principal objects
of Mr. Hammond's present trip to .New
York. The rails are heavy In weight and
of Ena-tlsh make, and will be shipped
from Liverpool. Forty-five mllea an hour
will be easy running for wheat train.
Despite the storm, work was don both
on tha road and th bridge yesterday.
New men are constantly drifting to the
camps and with the depot matter '-
fed Astoria will have a rainy aenv
I.m.Ii.m.. (1,1a winter. Iv'ow that th elec
tion I over thore having the matter in
charge believe that the question can soon
be satisfactorily settled.
EUROPE'S "SICK Mi"
Still the Center of Interest on
All Sides.
SETTLEMENT OF TWO QUESTIONS
'
Has Not Abated the Watchfulness of
the Powers-Missionaries' Lives
Still in Danger.
(Copyrighted, 1895, by Associated Press.)
Constantinople, Dec. 10, via Sofia, Bul
garia, Dec. 11. The two incidents which
have constituted the center of sensational
interest, vis.: the refuge of Kustlcliuk,
Said Pasha, ex-grand vizier, in the British
embassy, and the refusul of the sultan to
grant firmans for the passage through
the Dardanelles of additional guardships,
demanded by the powers, are practically
relegated to history through their settle
ment by the return bf Bald Pasha to his
own residence and by the final gt anting
of the firmans by the sultan.
How unimportant these Incidents were
in themsolve.8 Is Indicated by the fact that
the tense condition of the public mind is
not abated by their closins, and the
watchful game of diplomacy is saen to go
on as much as before. Intimate connec'
tlon with the peace of Europe with the
fate of the Turkish empire is not to be
forgotten, nor Is it to be lost sight ot
that thiB peace Is dependent, as it has
been for the past eighteen years, on the
accord of the powers as to the methods
and limits of coercion which Bliiill ho ex
ercised upon the "sick man" of KJrope.
How great labor and stress Is necnssijiy
to the maintenance of this accord haB
been indicated by the long-drawn-out con
duct of the guardships incident, Die sul
tan refusing to concedo a single step vol
untarily, and leaving the powers to their
own resources to patch up their compli
cated Jealousies and conflicts of Interests
before an agreement could be reached to
unite a demand upon the sultan.
Outrages upon the Armenian christians
seem to be receding into the background,
excent as they constitute a technical case
upon which the powers base their action
at international law for the settlement ot
larger questions.
New York, Deo. 11. A cable dispatch
received by the Christian Herald today
says:
News received from Van states that
fully 60,000 refugees are crowding the city
from 200 villages which have been destroy
ed In tho province of Van. The Turks
are greatly hampering the relief work
conducted by Dr. Grace Kimball, and her
missionary asoclates. Mission work Is
necessarily suspended for the present.
The Bchools are closed.
Information comes from Bltlls that the
missionaries' lives there are in danger
and that they are taking chances to es
cape to places of safety."
The Christian Herald telegraphed to
Clara Barton, president of th" Red Cross
Association at Washington,, offering to
contribute $25,000 for relief If the Red
Cross assumed the responsiibllty of the
work in that country.
BODIES RECOVERED.
Nothing but Blackened Bones to Be Iden
tified. Seattle, Dec. 11. The rescue party at
the Franklin mine, today recovered the
bodies of George W. Smallcy, John Ad
ams, James Stafford, and John H. Glover,
the four men who descended to close the
door during the fire of October 17 last,
but never returned. Nothing was found
but the blackened bones and the bodies
were Identified by articles known to be
en the bodies, such as a watch, two keys
and a rule. .
CALIFORNIA MISSED IT.
Would Have had the Convention but for
Free Sliver.
Portland, Dec. 11. "San Franlsco made
a great effort to secure the Republican
National Convention," said Joseph Simon,
Oregon's national committeeman, today,
"had It not been that the Callfornians In
Washington, who were pressing the
claims of San Francisco, were identified
with the free silver movement in a great
er or less degree,' I think, despite the
opposition raised on account of the differ
ence in time and Inadequate telegraph
service, San Francisco would have won.
It Is time that the Republicans should
forever divorce themselves from this free
silver heresy.
"Oregon will have eight delegates In the
next Republican national convention who
may, be safely counted upon on the sub
ject of sound currency. The Republicans
of Oregon will distinctly repudiate any
Inflation of the currency b degrading the
rtandard of value to a silver basis."
FARM BURNING.
Fierce Fire Raging Underneath It for
Months.
Farmland, Ind., Dec. 11. Just over the
Delaware county line, and a few miles
south of Selma, was for many years a
low tract of wet land, covering thousands
of acres, but since the advent of tile and
other artificial means of drainage. It has
been redeemed from its primitive state
and converted Into as line farming land
as one could wish to own. It Is covered
to a depth of several feet with that black
loam so dear to a farmer's heart, and
produces its 80 bushels of corn per acre,
regardless of the season. But underneath
thl layer of loam extends a massive peat
bog, which the continued drought the
past summer had, In places where ex
posed, relieved of all moisture. Conse
quently, when John Jacknon, the owner
of a farm situated in this low tract, rarly
In July, set fire to a pll of hruxh, he
little dreamed that he was kindling a fire
that would literally burn up his fine
farm. The fire soon took hold of this un
derlying bed of peat, and hss been con
tinually burning ever since. From a
thousand crevices dense smoke la dally
issuing, and the recent rains seem to
hiv lm:ieM-d rath.r than ulr.".ir.i.;!;
th subterranean Are. As It Is, about
U0 acres of as fine land as Delaware
county can boast has been rendered use
less for farming purposes, since the heavy
layer of rich alluvial sub-soil has, by the
Intense heat, been converted into an Im
mense ash heap, devoid of alt life and
power of productiveness. Great alarm Is
felt by the surrounding farmers, as they
had expected the fall rains to extinguish
the flames before their ravages had
reached their farms. The snow that fell
last night and covered the ground to a
great depth Is greatly welcomed as many
believe It will smother the flames.
MINE EXPLOSION.
Three Men Killed in the Rich Kill No. 5.
Rich Hill, Mo., Dec. ll.-An explosion
which Is supposed to have resulted In the
death of three miners, occurred in Mine
No. 5 of the Rich Hill Coal Company's
system. The Bhaft is filled with debris
and the work of rescue proceeds slowly,
Dick Towes, Jim. Donaldson and Owen
Meals, two of whom were shot firers.,
and the stable boss, are the only men
known to be In the mine, and It Is thought
all are dead.
AN OLD BANK.
Will Go Into Liquidation In San Fran.
Cisco.
San Francisco, Deo. 11. The Grangers'
Bank of California, one of the oldest com
mercial banks In this city, is about to go
into liquidation. ' It's action is entirely
voluntary, and only awaits the ratlflca'
tion of the stockholders. Albert Montpo
rls, cashier, stated that the cause of the
hanks' retirement was the unprofitable
condition of the farming Interests of Call
fornla during the last few years.
SENATOR ALLEN.
Says the Party of Democratic Grievances
Is All Right on the Monroe Doctrine.
Washington, Dec. 11. In the senate to
day the resolution of Allen to recognize
tho Cuban revolutionists as belligerents,
was taken up.
Allen said he supposed his resolution
will be referred to the committee on for
eign relations, and informed the senate
that the Populist party was sneered at as

f stood shoulder to shoulder with the Re
publican and Democratic parties for the
maintenance of the Monroe doctrine. Al
len commended some of the remarks of
Cullom yesterday and then proceeded to
condemn the alliance of the money power
in the East with that of England, In con
nection wfth our diligence in preventing
the aggression of the British on this hem
isphere. With this Idea as a text, he re
ferred contemptuously to the report that
Theodore Havemeyer, the retiring Aus
trian consul general at New York, was
to be made a baron, as evidence that that
gentleman was ashamed of the country ot
his birth. He also referred to American
women "who were married to titled Eu-
roepan mendicants."
Affecting Scenes at the Funeral
Ceremony.
The Bereaved Mother, Inconsolable,
Drops in a Dead Faint Over
the Grave.
Minneapolis, Deo. 11. At the simple
burial service over the remains of Harry
Hayward, at Lakewood cemetery, there
occurred a most traglo incident. The
ceremony was held in the little chapet at
the cemetery, and was attended by a very
few friends and members of the family,
Adry Included.
After the words of scripture and prayer,
Mrs. Hayward desired to place some flow
ers on the casket and supported by her
son, Thaddeus Hayard, and her husband,
advanced to do so. She walked around
the head of the coffin, strewing carna
tions as she did so. When she had ar
rived at the right hand side of the bier
she hesitated. In response to a signal
from the doctor, Thaddeus and her hus
band loosened their support of her and
she stood alone. She raised her clenched
hands and broke forth into a low, moan
ing tone:
'Poor, dear Harry; poor dear Harry.
My baby boy; my dear baby; GoJ has
forgiven him. Gofl has forgiven him.
Poor, dear Harry. Be brave, mother; be
brave and strong. The chains bind me,
but they can't chain my soul. I come
again. Poor, dear Harry; poor, dear
Harry, my baby boy."
With this, the mother half turned and
started toward where Adry sat. In front
of Adry, she stopped and lifted his face
In her hands, saying: "Tell him I've for
given him, mother." Her reproachful
tones echoed In the silent room. Seem
ingly half crazed, the bereaved mother
turned from her elder boy to the young
est, where her darling lay, and fell faint
ing In a seat near by.
POPULISTS WILL STEP OUT.

THE NEW YORK CENTRAL LEADS
Demonstrates Its Ability tO Keep
the World's Eecord Against
Heavy Odds.
An Eastern paper says:
On the recent trial of Its new train th
New York Central today demonstrated Its
ability to run upon its road the fastest
regular train in the world, although it
failed In this particular run to finish upon
the schedule time laid out for It. This
failure was due entirely to an accident,
the other portion of the run showing con
clusively that the fast scheduled time can
be accomplished and even exceeded.
Up to six months ago the train known
as the Empire State Express had the
world's record as a regular train for fast
running. The London railway of Eng
land, running from London to Aberdeen,
began to run a trlflo faster than the Em
pire State's record of 61 miles an hour.
Today the Central began a new scheduio
for this train, which necessitate! an hour
ly run of 63H miles, about two miles an
hour faster than the English rival.
Leaving New York this morning at 8:3U,
and with every condition against her, this
train made more than three-quarters ot
the distance In even faster time than tho
new schedule calls for. The regular Em
pire State Express had added to It a
special car of Vice President Webb,
weighing 10,400 pounds. In addition to
this extra weight a drizzling rain was
falling, making the track exceedingly
slippery, and the extra weight was car
ried on the end ot the train instead ot
next to the engine, making the resistance
greater. The run from New York to Al
bany, a distance of 142.88 miles, was made
In two hours and thlrty-slx minutes. And
the train rolled Into Albany depot four
minutes ahead of the new schedule time
and nine minutes ahead of tho old schd
uie. ' "-; "
Leaving Albany fin 'schedule tlmej-U:-a.
m. and with a change of engines, En
gineer Chase at the throttle of engine 9SD
pulled the train through to Syracuse, the
end of the Central division, so that she
rolled Into the station two and a half
minutes ahead of the new schedule, and
twelve minutes faster than the old. With
the gain on the Hudson river division,
this made a total gain of twenty-one min
utes between New York and Syracuse.
At Syracuse, engine 904, Engineer Fell
ings took charge of the train and pulled
out of the depot two minutes late. Half
way between Syracuse and Rochester the
drizzling rain turned to snow, and the
wind, which had been with the train so
much of the distance, changed to a head
wind of great resistance. Despite these
conditions the train rolled into Rochester
exactly on time.
From Rochester as far aj Churehvllle ,
56 miles east of the Empire State's des
tination, Buffalo, the stations were passed
exactly on schedule time. Just after
passing Churehvllle, where the engine
takes water from the track water trough
by scoop without stoplplng, the scoop
caught on an obstruction In the trough,
and, dropping down, banged against the
ties for at least a mile, until the train
could be brought to a standstill. It was
fourteen minutes before tho damage could
be repaired, and at least three minutes
had been lost In slowing up and slopping.
When the train was again started, after
a loss of seventeen minutes, it was clone
upon the long, heavy grade running up to
Batavla, and, lacking the tremendous mo
mentum whloh It usually has, lost three
minutes more on this up grade. The
slippery tracks also added to the delay,
and when the Batavla station was
passed the train was 2ij minutes behind
time.
The run Into Buffalo from Batavla, a
distance of 40 miles, was made In about
thirty-one minutes very fast time. And
the train rolled Into Buffalo twenty-three
minutes behind the schedule time and
two minutes ahead of the old schedule.
General Passenger Agent George H.
Daniels expressed hlmHelf as pleased with
the result of the trip, despite the unfortu
nate accident, and declared that the new
schedule Is not a bit too fast for the reg
ular Empire State Express.
In Third Vice President Webb's car
there were General Passenger Agent
Daniels, General Superintendent Yager,
Railroad Commissioners lieardsley, Cha
pln and Rlrkard, Superintendent Butter
field, of the R, W, & O., and ieveral news
paper men. The party returned to New
York on the limited. The entire run of
440 miles, and Including three stops and
exclusive of a delay of twenty-six min
utes, was made In 494 minutes.
