THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.
Sixty-one Transfers During the Week, Aggre-
eating Value of $lO9,655.

Real estate movements the past week were Of
some importance, in going beyond the sales Of
the week preceding. Sixty-one transfers were
made, aggregating a value of $109,655, and
averaging for each sale $780, This keeps up
the promises brokers and property holders have
been making throughout the fall. Among the
noticeable purchases was that Of residence

THE LATEST DEMOCRATIC SCHEME.
Trying to Prove Mackey Ineligible on the
Evidence of Tennessee POll-BoOk.

The Democratic coDspirators are still looking
for o starting point of evidence with which 20
sustain their claim that Representative-elect
Mackey. of Vincennes. is ineligible. Among the
multifarious trials in keeping their scheme TO-
gether they have never lost sight of this sup
posed footing in the way of revolutionzing
proceedings AS they regard it
Offset to the Mesgher contest, John E. Lamb has
been intrusted with the duty of constructing the
evidence, which is to be of sweeping character
in order to cover every allegation possible.
There have been signs of weakness in this work,
30 much so that the conspirators have become
desperate. When Ed Henderson, on his visit
to Vincennes Sunday last, discovered that
Mackey had been in that city fully long
enough to establish his citizenship
in the district the search for other causes of in
eligibility began They then claimed that he
had been in Nebraska two or three years, and
that he did not come to Indiana until June, 1885,
but it appeared that their claim lacked soul, for
they had no doubt heard from the Western
State and could not fix a citizenship for him
there during his absence. Apparently
this ground has also been aban-
doned: for they now assert Mackey
came from Tennessee direct to Franklin, thence
to Sullivan. and from there to Viucennes about
the latter part of October. 1885 To give this
claim some feasibility, Lamb says he has poll
book from Shelbyville, Tenu, showing certain
Mackey to have been voter there, but the
conspirators in this are worried over doubt
about the Mackey of Vincennes, and the
one Of Shelbyville being the same
person. The Tennessee voter gave
his name as Mckay. it is presumed, as the con-
spirators have begun to study the supposed or
biographical kinship between Mckay and
Mackey. An emissary of the plotters is in Vim
cennes to-day, in the hope of finding something
to give them chance to say that Mr. Mackey is
desperate character, and that he is not Mackey
but Mckay.
There was meeting, yesterday. Of a few Dem-
ocrats, to talk over the Green Smith complica-
ton. In one of his leisure moments from con-
sultation with leaders Of his party since he has
been here, Smith was asked if he was looking
after his case. "If have a case" he replied, 81
am not certain what / Will do
But the meeting reviewing this
matter concluded that the best course to pursue
would be through I'M function proceedings against
the issuance of commission to Colonel Robert
son." By this means they hope to dispose of the
question before the Legislature meets.
