A Decision as to Where Their Ballots May

AuersrA, Me-, Jan. 1.-The Constitution
Of Maine declares that residence at col
loge shall not entitle astudent to vote in
the town where the college is situated.
The SUPREME Court Of this State has Just
given an opinion holding that this consti-
tutional provision does not disquality q
student from voting II he can show such q
residence as is required in the case Of
voter. TIE court says that the right TO
vote depends on the question oil intention
as To residence. II student intends 10
remain in the place only until he com.
nletes his studies, he can not claim
4 residence there such as will en-
title him to vote. But II he in
tends to make that his homein the future,
then he may be regarded as q permanent
resident and voter. ITO constitute q
permanent residence" says the court,
1.-THE intention to remain for an indefinite
period, regardless Of the length OF time the
student expects to remain at the college.
Hegets 10 residence becausea student,
but being q student does not prevent, his
getting residence otherwise. The pre-
sumption Is againsta students right 10

town. Calling 1t his residence does not
make II so. He may have no right TO so

In his speech to the students of Wander
bilt University Mr.. Randall said: "I
have been a hard cass, as they say, in my
time, and while / do not wish to moralize,
there is one lesson do wish to impress
upon you from the bottom Of my heart,
and that isto beware Of indulgnginahabit
or practice that you have not the will
power to control" In Mr.. Randall's ca
reer there is warning and encouragement
to other men. Since he has made this
public reference to his liie 1t will not seem
unkind to speak Of it for good purpose.
At one time, and that since he has been
in Congress, Mr.. Randall wasgiven to drink.
His friends thoughthe was past recovery
But he had the good fortune to have some
common sense, some will power and a
good wife. Heput down the brakes, and

When he gave receptions as Speaker

not flow there, yet his invitations were
always gladly accepted and his receptions
were always pleasant occasions. Mr.. Ran

AMAN1Ac,s DESPERATION.
Eutering n Bank Mt Midnight aud Fighting
with Ennr Omeara.

Cn1cAeo, Jan. 1.-Dr. Edward Prentice
ia prosperous veterinary surgeon and
has an Office at 1856 Michigan Avenue.
About II: 80 o'clock last night he entered
First National Bank as the ianitor, Charles
Brandt was sweeping out, and declared he
wanted sum Of money he had locked up
in one of the vaults. The ianitor inform
ed him II was too late to get his money and
advised him to come in the morning. Al
this, Prentice became enraged. Officer
Nash, Of Pinkerton's, attempted to eject
him, but Prentice struck Nash powerful
blow, knocking him down, and then leap
ed toward Brandt. The latter, thinking
he faced . bank robber. pointed his re.
yoiver and fred, Just as Prentice sprung
forward. The bullet struck gold watch
in Prentice's vest pocket and dropped to
the floor, not inhiCting q scratch.
Officers arrived at this iuncture and,
with the assistance Of the other two men,
held Prentice prisoner until the arrival
OF the patrol wagon. As the party drove
10 the Artnory, Prentice wrenched his
hands loose, and, seizing Sergeant Bahan
by the neck, choked him until he was
helpless. The police rained their Clubs
on him and It required four men to make
him relineuish his grasp. Prentice had

Indications that the Tammnuy Chieftain
r Isl. Has Lost His Grip.
New YoRH, Jan. Lit begins to look as
though with the sale OF the Star, New
York is going to lose all sight OF
John Kelly as a boss Of local politics.
Kelly has been on the decline as poiiti-
cal manager for some time, and the cleo
ton of Clevelapd, the defeat Of Giant and
the final failure to oust Hubert 9. Thomp-
son. the county Democratic leader, IRON
the office OF Commissioner OF Public
Works have proved the elimination OF n
long series OF political misfortunes from
which the Tammany saehem is not likely
to recover. Coupled with these mistor-
tunes has been Mr.. Kclly's own falling
health, and altogether it is not at all un.
likely that as the head OF a great political
faction his rule is at m end.
Kelly was the successor OF Tweed, but
as some OF the papers point out to-day in
referring TO the probable closing OF his
rule, hediilered from Tweed in this most
important particular that he has himself
always been personally honest. John
Kelly was never accused oil stealing HIM
self no matter what he permitted others
to do. Quiet, dignifled and unpretentious,
he has, however, welded more politica!
power than any other one in the United
States. This power with Kelly came
very largely from his relations with the
Roman Catholic church, with which his
followers here are, OF course, largely iden'
tilted, connected by marriage with the
very head Of the Catholic church in this
country, he naturally grew to be a recog
nized friend OF that denomination, and was
rewarded with all the devotion that its fol
lowers could bestow upon the friend o.
their common mother. The power thus
derived he cultivated most assiduously
and this, coupled with his remarkable
ability as an organizer, has given him his
greatest hold upon his subjects. It is
mistake to believe, however, that Kelly
ever made the mistake Of getting ahead o
his followers. Tammany Hall Is too grea
an organisation for ono man oven as grea
as Kelly to lead against Its will. Kelly
great strength came from judiciously feel
ing Inc pulse OF his friends before making
any political move. The result was tha
when the time came to go forward Tam
many moved as one man. With Kelly
National politics have, Of course, only
been subseryient to city affairs. 1t is sait
| he will 90 South Tor the present, and afte
that suit his own pleasure in his efforts II
obtain the rest he so greatly needs.

Alag Destroyed and the Crew KILLED by
Roller ExnIoslon

Boiler Explosion.
CucAoo, Jan. 1.-The tug Admiral had
just let go the line Of the barge D. M.
Wilson in Mason's Slip, at Twenty.second
and Morgan streets, late this evening,
when terrible explosion was heard, and
the spot whore the tug lay was marked
only by whirling debris and cloud of
steam and smoke. Allportions Of the tug
above water had been smashed into frap-
ments and the hull sunk out Of sight.
Windows block away were broken
and the crewon the barge were stretched
on the deck almost senselcss. The stanch-
ions and hcadgear OF the Wilson were car
ried away, and 1t is thought many Of her
timbers were started. The captain ofthe
schooner alongside the barge was thrown
heavily against the cabin, and It Is feared
seriously injured. The owners Of the tug
say the only persons that could have
been aboard were Captain Andrew Green,
Engineer Joseph Hogan, and Lineman
Bone, but men who were working on veg
sells in the vicinity assert that there were
two other men on the tug beside
the crew of three. Tie only
traces Of the five men are a bat
tcred hat and boot containing a stocking
and piece Of flesh, which were found on
one side tthe river and on tho other side
q mangled corpse supposed to be that OF
Lineman Bone, with tho left arm entirely
blown from the body. The face and chest
were shocklngly' bruised and torn. II
seems certain that the poor wretch was
hurled into tho air across two huge steam
barges and striking the wall Of grain ele-
vator dropped back TO the dock. II Is sur
missed that more OF the remains will be
discovered when daylight permits the
search Of hundred tall lumber piles
within range Of the explosion. These
piles are covered with sleet and no one
could be found who dared ascend them IN
