Court Cuttings.

Court adjourned Saturday afternoon
The term was one OF conspicuously
large cases and small verdicts.
The attorneys for Elder 81 Mckinney
will argue a motion for u new trial at
Ayoca this week, and failing in that II
is said that the case will be appealed.
The Ochiltree case against the North,
Western road was continued. This
suit for $500 is brought by the husband
of the injured woman, and If the liabh.
ty of the road can be established the
lady herself will sue for more adequate
damages.
George IIardenbrook brought action
against llurlbut, Hess n Co. for 5000
damages, caused by closing up his Extra

Knights Templar Banquet.

The Knights of Godfrey Comman.
derry, with their ladies, participated in a
most highly enjoyable banquet at Ma
sonic Temple Tuesday evening. An
address of welcome, music and invoca.
ton preceded the banquet, which was
announced at 8 O'clock. While gather
ed around the festive board the several
Masonic lodges were eloquently toasted,
and the Order of the Eastern Star was
brightly illumined and most advantage
ously described in the choice language
and dignitied utterance of Mrs. Lena
Walker. Her address was admirable
in every particular and was highly COM
plimented by all One hundred and
two covers were laid, and Sir Knight
Walker demonstrated his ability by
preparing the most sumptuous banquet
ever spread in the town, bounteous in
all that is substantial and choice in the
variety of delicious delicacies from the
tropics. The musical selections render
cd by the Misses Yaggy, Townsend and
Henderson, and Messrs. Yaggy and
O'Comell were choice and appropriate.
Altogether the banquet was grand
success, creditable to the Commandery
and its committees.

The Tie Elections in Viola.

IL was noticed in these columns last
week that there were three tie cases in
the election for school directors in Viola
township ut the recent election. Two
Of these have been settled by the equal
ly popular candidates casting lots to de-
termine who should hold down the posi-
ton, and thus far all Is harmonious to
candidates and people In district No.
5 James Wager and Il. G. Carpenter
were the opposing candidates and each
received IN equal number of votes.
Mr. Carpenters name appeared upon %
ticket of regulation form, but Mr.. va
gers name was upon blank ticket,
without the specification for sub-direc.
tor, :" etc. Under these circumstances
Mr.. Carpenter deems the preference
should he given by the judges to the
ballots cast for him, and proposes to
stick for the salary. Mr.. Wager deems
the votes cast for him as equally valid,
although he is willing to resort to the
inexpensive method of determining
equities known as casting lots. We
are informed that an inquiry addressed
to State Supt Sabin elected the infor-
nation that the intent of the voter
could not be mistaken in either case
and botil ballots are equally valid. It
is probable that the matter will be test
ed in the courts.

Senator Cleveland Explains.
TAtlantic Telegraph


Senator Cleveland, of the Cass-Shelby
district, voted with ten other members
of the Senate against reducing the legal
rate of interest from 10 to 8 per cent.
The bill was under discussion In the
Senate for several hours previous to the
final vote. Yet on the next day Mr..
Cleveland had the following explana-
ton spread upon the Journal of the
Senate:
Mr.. President; In the passage of S.
L. No. SS, upon yesterday, | voted no
under a Misrepresentation, having fav-
ored its recommendation in committee
| was in favor of its final passage,
w. Il. CLEVELAND,
Senator Eighteenth District.
1t is difficult to understand how Sen
ator Cleveland made such mistake F"
on so important measure, which was
under discussion in the Senate, and
about which so little could be said to
mistify Or mislead. 1t is possible that
after sleeping over night and rejecting
upon the situation, the Senator thought
he had better retreat while there was
yet time. lie reiterated, not very grace
fully, but he got back just the same.
His record for congressional purposes
can be warranted to hold water and 10
stand any climate,

CONSULS CONFER on THE MCKINLEY BILL
UNIFORM INTERPRETATION MADE NECESSARY

BY FRENCH COMPLAINTS.
Berlin Aug o2-The Frankfort Gazette publishes
an official statement from a committee OF the United
States Consus- General who recently held meeting
in Paris in which denial is given to the report that
the Paris conference declared in favor of modification
or mild application of The provisions OF the Mckinley
bill. The Consular Convention, the committee says.
had authority and desire to seek TO modify the
law, and It's only purpose Was to secure . uniform
Interpretation and a hrm and equitable enforcement
of the measure in order TO guarantee lawful prOtcc-
ton for the legitimate European trade with America
The "unform Interpretation" mentioned above is
much more necessary because Of the complaints
presented 10 the French Chamber 10y VI. Aynard, a
Deputy from Lyons. in the Of the Chamber Of
Commerce of that place. 1t appears that the United
states Consular Agent there requires that the bill Of
sale of the manufacturer shall be produced. The
Lyons merchants say that this is not cXacted by
Article VIII Of the Customs Administrative bill. They
add that by furnishing his bill Of sale the manufactures
would make himself rcspons bic for any rFcgularty
in custom house matters which exclusively concerns
the purchaser, and the aity Of which cannot be

plant is that the Consular Agent at Lyons
requires the consular certificate. for instance, OF

Lyons commission firms, which afteTSarVi send those
goods from Lyons to America II is claimed that the
clause the Administrative bill, rcqurng the cOnsuAr

the exporting place means the place whence the
products are finally exported 10 America. Tie Cham
