Rev. Mr.. Ward Says That She Will Have to
Wait a While.
CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia. Nov. 29.-It was
stated in a Chicago telegram that "consid-
cradle interest had been aroused in Metho-
dist church circles by the story to the effect
that Miss Frances Wizards friends are
making an effort to have her elected a
bishop. Rev. Mr.. Ward says: ''My friend,
DIR. Truesdell, must have been misquotcd
in that telegram by which he was made to
say that Miss Willard might be elected
bishop of the Methodist church. That would
be impossible. The movement now made is
for the admission OF women as lay delegates.
No layman, male or female, could become
bishop simply by votes. OF course lay
man could not get the votes for an office to
which he was not eligible If it were sup
possible that the votes could be had the Or
dination to the Office would be impossible
as only persons in elders orders are cligi-
bic. AS to whether women will ever be-
come ordained ministers in the Methodist
Episcopal church that is entirely separate
from the question at this time under con-
sideration. The very efficient lady workers
who preach among us dolso as does MIR.

sent
What do you think will be the result
of the present movements asked the re-
porter.

will be admitted as other laymen now are

Election Fraud in sully County.

ONIDA, Nov. 27.-Last week warrants
were issued for the arrest of Adolph Faust,
w. $. Haynes and Jacob Seward for placing
illegal ballots in the ballot box in Pleasant
township. Sully county. The trial came o #
before Justice Everts Thursday, and the
evidence Went to show that as soon as it
was learned that warrants were issued, w.
S. Haynes went to Mr.. Oestrich, one of the
clerks. and inquired about the matter, when
he acknowledged that while sitting over the
ballots, and that he and Frank Z. Aldrich,
the other clerk, inserted in various places
! in their poll books the names OF seven
! voters in the township who were absent at
the time. He said they would see the
judges out of the scrapc. which they
proceeded to do by migrating at once
to unknown quarters before warrants could
be issued for them.
There is little doubt in the minds of most
people familiar with the case that the judges
are entirely innocent OF any completely in
the affair, and that Messrs Aldrich and
Oestrich are the only guilty parties in the
transaction. The judges, being in no way
suspicious of their clerks, who were two of
the most promising young men in the
county. trusted implicitly in their honor,
and did not examine the poll list to see IL
all the voters named had actually voted,
and the insertion of tho names in different
places, one at IL time. by the clerks, did not
increase the number they claimed were
cast to the extent of arOusing any suspi-
cions AS the Offices of treasurer and
sheriff depends upon these seven votes, this
will probably lead to further lititation

DANGEROUS STREETS.

A Deep Chuck-hole Nearly Causes Seri-
GUS Accident to a Family.
There is a most dangerous chuck hole
two feet deep on o street, between Twenty
second and Twenty-third. There is moth
ing to be seen after dark to indicate that a
hole two feet deep and just long and wide
enough to take in a wheel and let it down
exists there. A lady, while riding out OF
the city on Thursday evening with her hus-
band and little son, was thrown out upon
her head and badly bruised, one hand and
foot being injured, and new dress ruined.
Had the gentleman been driving fast, she
would probably have been killed, but the
horse stopped at the word, so that he got
her foot out of the wheel, and the little
boy, who was thrown upon the wheel,
managed to get back on the, wagon.
1t would seem about time that the Street
Commissioner had some of the worse holes
filed up, as it is almost impossible to drive
faster than walk after leaving Fifteenth
street, on account of the great number of
holes, some of them nearly three feet deep.
The streets have been dried uptwice of late,
and it does seem that at least one street
could be rendered passable. The holes may
cost some one broken limb or neck yet,
and the city heavy bill of damages.

PHIL. HoRAN's DEATH.
What One of His Fellow-Watchmen
Knows About 1t.

What One of His Fellow-Watchmen
Knows About 1t.
An inquest was held yesterday by Justice
Newton, Of Washington, on the remains of
Philip Horan, the railroad track watch
man, an account of whose shocking death on
the preceding night was published in the
RECORD UNION yesterday. The remains
were totally unrecognizable, consisting
only OF mass of mashed flesh and bones.
The only person who could give any ac-
count of the circumstances attending the
sad affair was James Gala her, also q
traek-walker, who was with Koran during
the evening and up TO the time of the lat
ter's death. He stated that they went out
TO their posts early in the evening. About
8 o'clock they lighted a fire by the side of
the track, near the long tresIle, and witness
lay down to take nap being troubled
with q neuralgic headache. He gave
HOran his pipe 10 smoke, and asked him
to arouse witness when the Oregon ex-
press came along.
Horan lighted the pipe and sat down on
the end of one of the railroad ties to
smoke, and that was the last Gallagher saw
of him until he found his remains stIeWn
along the track after the train had passed.
The presumption was that Horan dozed
off and finally fell backward on the track
sound asleep. Gallagher said that deceased
was perfectly sober-in fact, that he was
not drinking man.
Engineer G0ff testified to the same facts
as contained in his statement made to
RECORD UNION reporter the night before.
The jury rendered verdict to the effect
that deceased came to his death by being
run over by railroad train, the result of
his own carelessDess, and exonerated the
railroad company and its employees from
all blame.
The remains were forwarded last evening
by Messrs. Reeves & Long to deceased's 5
relatives in Suisun.
