LOUISVILLE, KY November 10.
A special to the CoIricr-JouTndi says
that State Contesting Board which has
been in session for several weeks at
Frankfort, examining the evidence and
hearing the testimony in the case, deci-
ced tonight that Thos. L. Jones, was in
eligible TO office. The Clerk of the Court
appeared and declared the office vacant.
At the general election last August,
Jsnes who was the Democratic Candi-
date received about $4,000 majority over
Cochran, his opponent. 1t was char
ged at the time that Jones was ineligible
because he had accepted challenge to
fight duel FIVE years before, which the
Constitution of the State declares shall
make any person so accepting ineligi bic
TO sny Office in the State, and also makes
him liable for prosecution in the criminal
courts. The action of a Contesting Board
made up altogether Of members Of the
same political party as Jones will be re-
| ceived with very great interest in the
State, and will make an important pre-
cedent in such matters, The decision
announced is a. follows:
I lst, That the contestant Cochran, has
7 no claims to the Office.
! 2nd, 4 majority Of the Board, three
members, hold that the proof shows thai
/ the incumbent, Jones, did accept a chal.
lenge, and Is therefore disqualified tc
/ hold Office. and also hold. that the Board
has jurisdiction to try and decide the
question Of his guilt on testimony by
I deposition before them.
| Cd, A minority Of the Board, twc
members, hold that testimony, therefore
the Board fails TO prove that Jones /:
guilty, and also that the Board has NJ
authority or jurisdiction TO try or con
vict Of such crime or Offense against th'
laws, on original testimony like that OF
record.
4h, The Board holds that when il ha
filed its opinion, one copy in tte Office {
the Secretary Of State, and has sent one
copy to Mr.. John W. Cochran and NJ
Jones, the contestants, It's functions vii
close.

BERLIN, November l9.-In conse-
quence of the defeat of the government
in the Reichstag yesterday, on aproposi-

the majority of the Reichstag will only

deputies favorable to the Imperial bank,
instead ofgiving all parties an opportu-

attitude in regard to the bill under con-
