JUDGE MARK BLANDFoRD, of the
Georgia Supreme Bench, is a firm be-
lever in the zodiac signs. He lost an
arm at the battle of Mcdowell, Va,
in May, 1862, and he declares that he
and every other soldier who got wound
ed in the arm in that combat recovered,
while all the leg wounds proved NOR
tai. He says he had occasion to take
particular notice of that fact

A GREAT cutlery has been raised in
the Swiss Canton Tessin against the
prevalence there of bribery at elections
The political workers are constantly
racking their brains to devise new
means of buying votes. The Mayor OF
small city near Locarno recently,
while running for reelection, invited
every man who would promise to vote
for him to eat and drink at his ex-
pense for three months at certain
specified taverns. The success of his
plan is shown by the fact that he was
reelected, and that his bills at the
tavern in question amounted to 14,0OC
francs. Votes bought in the old-fash-
toned way cost from 20 cents to 81
each. Even the clergy are said tc
bride electors right and left.

The Alleged wrecker OF the Chicago
Ttp,Ca ia nounpeh.


CHICAGO, July 26.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. THE troubles OF the Times news
paper company have eliminated in the re.
tirement OF MIR. James West. He not only
resigns from the editorship Of the paper, but
surrenders also his entire interest IN the
property. The story Of MIR. Vests Napo-
leonic career as o newspaper publisher is a
composite and highly colored narrative. BY
the investment Of a few thousands OF dollars,
the stretching of credit to the utmost, and
the exercise of extraordinary boldness, he
acquired and has held for twenty months
control of a once powerful and extremely
valuable newspaper. Tho details Of tho
schemes he employed, as disclosed by the in
vestigation Of the stockholders, Just closed,
would fill several bulky volumesn
The article goes on at great length TO de-
tail the affairs of West and the Times since
the syndicate purchased IL a year and n half
ago. II alleges that when West and Clint
Snowden, his managing editor, had disa.
greement eight months ago, Snowden com
PEELED West to pay him $50, 600 after he had
retired. Since the Iowa stockholders have
been here investigating there have been
many stormy sessions. West holding ma
jority of the Times stock was disposed to
hold on at all hazards, but finally a comprc-
mise was reached. A last meeting was held
yesterday. West Is TO retire within week
The exact terms OF the agreement are un-
known, but upon excellent authority they arc
believed to bo that West retires from the
editorshp of the paper and surrenders TO
the other stockholders his entire interest
they to assume all liabilities. The stock
holders are to pay MIR. West in cash sum
between sl0,0 900 and SIC, ,0t0 Mr.. West is to
be let down easily in the editorial columns of
the Times and it is to be given out that an
amicable settlement was reached.
Who is to edit the Timcsi II is understood
that one of Vests stipulatons was that Mr..
Dunlop Should not be made editor in his
stead, but that the stockholders reserved this
right and 1t is probable that Mr.. Dunlop will
presently turn mp as managing editor of the
paper Now the controlling stockholders are
said to have money to make tho Times CON-
pany wholly solvent.
