OF Ohio-The Case of Baxter vs.. the Elec-
tiOn Judges Dissmiscd.
Special telegram 10 the Sunday Register.
ST CLAIRsVILLE, o., November 13.-
The case of K. Baxter against the Judges
Of the municipal election, was decided
here yesterday, after hOtly contested
trial of two days in Judge Kelly's Court,
The suit was brought by Baxter to recover
s. 1000 damages, because his vote was
thrown out by the election judges at
Bridgeport, who claimed that rs Baxter
lived in q boat at the river bank that he
was q citizen of West Virginia and not en-
titled to q vote in Ohio.
The Judge decided that when citizen
of the county lived in a boat, which did
not 90 below low water mark, or even II
it did 90 below low water mark, or fOated
out into the stream from rise in the river
or from any other cause not voluntary
with the owner, who had always claimed
the county rs residence, he was legal
voter. The jury awarded Baxter $500
damages, which throws him into $50
costs.
This decides a question long in dispute
between the local authorities of Ohio and
the many persons who live i'll boats along
the Ohio shore.

THE ST. PETERS FIRE.
The Cathedral Is Not a Total Loss---Scr-
vices to be Held To-day.

NACCb ~ Dc
PIrrsBURG, November 13.-The scenes
around st. Peters pro-cathedral, Allie
gheny, all day, which was destroyed by
fire at On early hour this morning, was
one of desolation. The Columbia Engine
company was kept on duty until about g
o'clock, and large crowds ofpeople from all
portions Of the city visited the ruins.
A call was made upon Bishop Phelan
and he said: 81 cannot tell how soon We
will commence to rebuild, but will call
for meeting of the committee tomorrow
and we will decide at once Yes, sir, we
saved all the portable valuables in the
church. but we had some very valuable
Punishment that was stationary, and of
course that is all gone. No, sir; cannot
say from memery how much the church
cost exactly, but think it was about
Sl4O, 900. Our loss by the fire is hard to
estimate but l rather think it will be all of
the insurance, which is somewhere in
the neighborhOod of $4,000 and
possibly more. Had the walls
and steeple been injured of course it would
have been great deal worse, but We have
all around the inside of the church an
eight inch brick wall which protected the
stones from the heat, 50 that the walls and
stone in the foundry is uninj jured. Yes,
sir, we will hold service tomorrow at Z,
and 1890 q. m. in the school building
connected with st. Mary's German Gothic
lie church on the corner of North and
Liberty streets, and will continue to meet
there until our church is rebuilt" The
reverend gentleman was very busy, his
residence being thrOnged with visitors Of
all classes calling to offer their coincidence
in the loss of the church building.
Mr.. COSgroye, the secretary of the
Church society, said: II cannot say
where the insurance is placed exactly, but
think it is nearly all in eastern companies.
Yes; think $40, 600 if about all we have
on it, and also believe our loss will be
every dollar of that. Will we rebuild?
Most undoubtedly, and l also think that
operations will commence just rs soon rs
the embers cool off. | had the architect
down there this morning, and he examin-
ed the walls and steeple and said they
were uniniured, which OfcOurse was good
news for us. We have had Prof. Smith
here for the past five weeks working at our
organ and getting it into proper shape.
He had all his tools there and they were
all destroyed. His loss will amount to
fully $500, and feel sorry for him as it
will be dead loss to him."
From another source it was learned that
the New England Mutual Insurance conf
pany carried 5000, the German. of New
York, s., 900, both with ArrOtt's agency,
the Citizens, S., 900; the City, So, 900, and
the Allegheny, 5000, the latter cOmpan-
les being Pittsburg organizations. Mr.. Hay
the plumber, stated that he had suffered
no loss; except the window frame of his
back building being burned. The resi-
dents of the neighbOrhOod are loud in
their praise of the manner in which the
fire was managed by the Chief Crow and
the the extraordinary cXertiOns made by
department to prevent the spread OF
the flames, which they think was wonder

Directors Of the Second National Bank,

A friend of the family says that when
Emo received letter from his sister tell
ing him what had been done, he took an
early morning train at Montreal, and,
reaching this city at night, repaired to the
paternal mansion on Fifth avenue. He
wore a heavy Canadian ulster and a soft
felt hat. The collar Of the coat was turn
ed up, and served to completely hide his
features. No one would have recognized
HMM that attire, and certainly none
suspected him. II was said that he actu-
ally hungered for look at the old house
and the society Of his family, and had
