THE 0,DONNELL CONTEST.
Pond is Declared to be Elected
Mayor.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 27.-The
O'Donnell contest for Mayor came up in
Judge Finn's Court to-day for the pur-
pose of enabling the Doctors attorney to
put in oral testimony regarding frauds
committed. O'Donnell's counsel SAYS
the recount has shown more straight
Democratic tickets have been voted from
the Almshouse precinct than from any
other precinct in the city, and that he
had subp9naed certain inmates of the
Almshouse to show that they had voted
at the last election, despite the law
forbiddirg the registration of inmates of
charitable institutions. Two of the in
mates then testified that they had voted
at the polls. They were carried there
in bus with number of other in.
mates and had been given ballots which
they voted without inspecting. DR..
Chaigneau, resident physician of the
Almshouse, acknowledged having
spoken to some of the inmates regarding
how they were to vote, but said Super
intendent Keating had given strict orders
that the inmates should not be inter-
fered with in their voting. A. Kershaw,
who was sworn in as Republican in
spector in the ninth precinct of the
thirty seventh district, testified that
when he undertook to perform the duties
of his office he was elected by Demo-
cratic election officers, who put an out
slider in his place without having him
sworn in or appointed.
After some further testimony and argu-
ments Of counsel Judge Finn rendered a
decision in which he held that the duties
of the Court were purely statutory. 1t
had been shown that some of the election
officers attempted to defraud O'Donnell
out of large number of votes, but the
Court could not infer fraud beyond that
actually proven. The Court concluded: :
'The election of E. P. Pond as Mayor is
hereby affirmed" O'DopnelPs counsel
was given until tomorrow in which to
file exceptions.

AT THE EAST.
Terrible Fight With
Dakota Russians.
THE RAILWAY MILEAGE FOR 1885
HalfOrd Still Harries Humanity
With His HarrisOnian
Harangue.

ST.. PAUL, December PA special to
the Pioneer Press from Sioux City says
A serious riot occurred this morning
near Trip, OAK, between Russian
Mennonites and Americans. A public
sale was held at the farm of a Russian
named Sink, and an American farmer
named Merchant purchased a dozen
chickens. When ready to start home he
found two chickens missing and COM
planned to Sink, who told him to take
something of an equal value. He caught
a goose and started home, but was over
taken by party of eight Russians, who
claimed the goose as their property. A
wrangle ensued that attracted others to
the scene and soon general fight was in
progress, in which some twenty men
were engaged, with the Russians as the
aggressors. Two brothers named John
SOD, who were passing, joined in the
melee with knives. A Russian named
Mayer was stabbed and he in turn split
Charles Johnson's head open with
yoke, inflicting fatal injury. The same
weapon broke the arm of George John
son, and knives were used to slash up
three other Russians badly but not ia
tally. The Americans found the force
opposing them too strong and withdre
from the field. The wounded Russians
were taken care of by their companions
and nothing can be learned from them
owing to their clannish customs. The
affair created most intense excitement
in the neighborhood, where majority
of The settlers are Russians. The officers
are now investigating.

RAIL WAY BUILDING IN 1855.
Kansas Leads and California II
Second.

Second.
CHICAGO, December 27.-The Railscay
Age, tomorrow will say: The railway
mileage of the year just past has in
creased by no less than 7,120 miles of
main track. While this is much less
than the phenomenal mileage for 1881,
1882, 1886 and 1887, the record exceeds
that of every other year with the excep-
ton of 1871. when 1878 miles were
added. Kansas still leads in the extent
of new mileage, as she has done for
several years. California comes next.
The most striking characteristic of the
work is the large number of separate
lines of which it is composed and the
correspondingly small average for each
line. The building OF great competitive
lines has practically ceased for the pres
ent, and the years work is devoted
chiefly to the construction of short inde-
pendent lines or branches.

The Open Ballot Case.

REDwooD CRY, CAL, December 27.-
Justices McDermott and Welch decided
the contestant entitled to the open ballots,
cast for Assemblyman in the contest
case of Price vs. Frank, Assemblyman-
elect, and the County Clerk was ordered
by the commission to bring the ballots
into court for counting. The respondent
prepared a writ of prohibition and
brought the matter before the Superior
Judge who, after reprimanding the
commission and County Clerk for at
tempted usurpation of power, granted
the writ peremptorily. The Gaze is before
the commission, which has adjourned
until January 18th, to hear further

him he would ''vote for Harden and
work for his election" He was so in
terviewed in the Argus-Leader after the
Watertown convention adjourned, and
has never yet repudiated that inter-
view. He has told the same thing to a
half-dOzen reputable Democrats in this
county. OF course the Republicans of
this county cannot nominate for coun-
ell a man who is in open rebellion
against the head of the territorial
ticket, and of course Mr.. Soderb9rg
will have too much mauliness
TO SWITCH OPINIONS
so quickly. In fact, he is reputed to be
a man of rather rugged idea of politi-
cal honor. If such is the case he will
not be whippeg into line for Mathews
no matter how much of an effort may be
made to bring him to time. The situa-
ton places both the Republican party
of this district and Mr.. SOderberg in
very much of dilemma. 1t is hard to
see how the Republicans can give in
without sacrificing Mr.. Mathews, and it
is still harder to see how Mr.. Soderberg
can give in without sacrificing his repu-
tatiOn as an honest and truth-telling
man. If the Republicans and Mr..
SoderbeTg can come to terms he will go
to Bismarck. If not, and the Republi-
cans name another man, the Democrats
will be likely to elect their man.

SIOUX FALLS, Sept 14.-C. A. Solder
berg, secretary of the Dakota Farmers
Alliance, and nominee of the farmers

just now discovering the difficulty of
carrying a pail of water on each
shoulder and splitting nothing from
either pail. 1t seems that the Republi-

dorse Soderberg for the council, fear
ing that if they put up a man, with
Soderberg in the field to draw from
the farmers, the Democratic candidate
would be elected. A number of con-

seem to be as thick as thieves again,

DELL RAPIDS, Sept. 14.-Bishop Hare,
of the Episcopal church at Sioux Falls,
was met to-day and stated that he had
received the plans for the ST. Augusta
Memorial church, and would commence
work as soon as practicable. 1t will be
remembered that the late John Jacob
Astor left S25, 900 for the erection of an
Episcopal church in Dakota, and the
selection of the city in which it was to
be built left to the decision of Bishop
Hare. The bishop named Sioux Falls,
and now that the plans have been ap-
proved, the bishop kindly showed them
to the correspondent. The
STYLE OF THE STRUCTURE
is composite Gothic, with detached
tower ITO feet high connected with the
main building by an arcade. The ma
throughout. The general dimensions
are as follows: Main building, 1OS by
So feet and 4S feet high; chapter
house and school, AZ by so and A feet
high three storesS; tower 21 by 81 and
ITO feet high. 1t will be the finest
church in the West outside of st. Paul
and Minneapolis. The interior ar
rangement of the cathedral proper will
include, in addition to the nave, which
will be AZ feet from floor to ceiling,
very large chancel, transepts, organ
chamber and choir. The chapter house
will be divided into school rooms, choir
room and vestry, the seating capacity
of the school rooms being $50.
THE SECOND STORY
of the chapter house will be di-
vided into the Bishops Office,
chapter room and rooms for janitor. In
the basement Sunday school rooms will
be located, seating 400. The cathedral
chancel will be semi-circular in form,
elevated two and one-half feet above
the floor of the nave, which will seat
500. There will be forty-eight Gothic
windows supplied with cathedral glass
to light the nave and chancel, and also
a beautiful decorated rose over ten feet
in diameter. 1t will be beauty.

tates the Terms of Surrender.
Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, Sept. 14.-Parties have
assumed that decidedly interesting
phase which precedes a convention al
ways. The Moody crowd is supreme.
The victory won at Watertown was
completed last week in Deadwo0d,
when the anti-Moody outfit capitulated.
What the terms of surrender are is only
known to the leaders, but lis positively
certain that Moody dictated them. So
an attempt will be made in Lawrence
county to carry the entire Republican
ticket through. The valley crowd.
those who want to segregate and form
the new county of Butte, are not at all
pleased by the truce that has been
patched up among the leaders of the
mountain forces.
In Pennington and Custer counties
the only interest afforded by politics
now is in watching the maneuvers of
the men who want nominations. Some
of these are quite cunning. In the leg
islative fight there seem to be two
things settled. The one is that James
Haley, of this county, will be nomina-
ted for the council, and the other is that
DIR. Stewart, of Fall River county,
won't be nominated for the legislature.
Custer county has a favOrite son on
whose shoulders the mantle of the
Ioouacious doctor will fall. Hot Springs
interests will not suffer from the
change. The remainder of the delega-
ton from the Hills goes by mutual con-
sent to Lawrence county, and these
matters are very uncertain Just now.
