Bis Candidate for Mavor of Detroit Beatea by 000 Majority. Detroit, Mich. April 7. William C. May bury (Dem.) was elected mayor by about COO majority, over Captain Al bert EL Stewart (Rep.). In view of Mr. Maybury's victory, it is considered surprising that Judge John Miner, Democratic candidate for police jus tice, was defeated by Judge Albert F, Sellers (Rep.), who was re-elected by a majority fully equal to that received by Maybury. May bury s election is looked upon as a decided defeat for Governor Pingree, who practically named Captain Stew art a bis successor as mayor, after the courts bad overruled the govern or's contention that he could hold both offices of governor aud mayor. Returns from the state indicate the re-election of Judge Charles D. Long, Republican, as justice of the supreme court and tbe defeat of George L. Yeple, fusion candidate. Charles D. Lawton and William J. Cocker, Repub lican candidates for regents of the Uni versity of Michigan, are also elected.

The Memphis Flood Relief Committee has issued the following appeal to the public: Tbe city of Memphis has been pro viding for the distressed flood suffer ers from the overflowed districts of Arkansas and Mississippi, with some little outside assistance, for several weeks. Few Tennesseeans are in need, but the demands on Memphis for others are very great, and are mereas Ing every day. Indeed, the demands on our people have grown to such proportions that we feel unable to meet them alone. Heretofore we have attempted to carry on thla work without soliciting contributions from other cities, although many cities have generously given us voluntary aid. If tne kind people of other towns and cities feel disposed to lend a helping hand in this matter all donations re ceived by the relief committee will be highly appreciated and judiciously managed Donations of meat, meal and money are preferable. The relief oommittee is weU organized and can nee money to the best advantage, as it is fully cognisant with the neooaaitlae of the situation. All remittances should be made to Bun F.
