WASHINGTON, Nov. 1G.--The Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia to
day overruled the demurrer of Charles
a. Newton. President of the Old Domin-
ion Republican League, charged with
violation of the Civil Service Act for
bidding the solicitation or receiving po-
litical contributions in government
buildings. Newton senta circular ask
ing persons to become members OF rhe
league, paying 81 initiation fee and 25
cents a month and further contribu-
tions If they could afford to aid in the
campaign. The demurrer cOntended
that the law had not been violated and
II 80 was unconstitutional. The court
said that Congress in the reasonable ex-
ercise OF its powers prohibited political
solicitations or contributions in public
buildings and this was not an infring-
ment of constitutional rights.
Civil Service Commissioners Thomp-
son said he thought the effect OF the de
cislon will be to practically stop polit-
lcal assessments and to leave all govern
ment employees free to contribute or
not as they see ut.

Mason Cotton Harvester.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 12.-The Mason cot.
ton harvester, which has been anxious
ly looked for here for several days, ar
rived today and was exhibited in oper.
alton in field Of cotton in the Exposi-
tion grounds this afternoon, in the pres.
ence ofa very large crowd of interest
ed spectators. The machine gathered
at the rate of 500 pounds an hour, or
5000 pounds for an ordinary working
day. Tho bushes nave been killed by
frost and the cotton has been open III
the bolls about two months. but des-
pite these drawbacks the cotton which
was picked was ginned without being
passed through a cleaner, and produced
good clean sample. Mr.. Patrick
Walsh, the president of the Exposition
and the editor Of the Augusta Chronicle
was present during the trial of the ma
chine and said: IL consider it u most
wonderful machine. 1t picks the cot
ton under most adverse circumstances
without injuring the plants and unripe
bolls and it gathers enough to make it
an implement of great value" The
machine will be exhibited again tomor
row and will probably remain here un-
Til the Exposition closes.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Reports of a
train robbery near the Western Union
junction have been received. General
Manager Earling Of tho Chicago, Mil
waukee anu st. Paul Railroad states
that the safes have been recovered and
that the robbers did not get any booty.
The report says six men boarded train
No B at Western Union junction, sixty
two miles North Of Chicago at IL p. m.,
and it is supposed the robbers reached
the junction over the Northwestern
Road. They held up the engineer and
fireman and when the train reached
Franksville, small station OF 200 or
800 inhabitants, about three miles be-
yond the junction, they caused the en-
gineer TO stop it at the point of re-
volvcr. They demanded of the express
messenger that he open the Car door to-
which he refused to do. The conductor
came up by this time and he was taken
prisoner. The robbers then broke in
the window OF the car and threw in
some kind of explosive which forced
out the end Of the car. They then went
inside and covered the express messen-
ger with revolver and tried to make
him open the safes. This he positive
~ loluoeu W uO, duu tllS safes were
thrown out of the car.
In the meantime, the rear brakeman,
understanding the situation, rushed
back to the junction and got help and
an engine. The engine and posse at
once went to the scene and the robbers
fled. The train went on to Milwaukee,
and the fast mail train, which leaves
Chicago at 3 o'clock p. m., picked up
the safes and carried them to Milwau-
kee. The police of Milwaukee and the
secret service of the system, together
with the sheriff OF Ricine County, were
sent in pursuit Of the robbers. Their
flight was SO hasty that they did not
take the precautions they had evidently
intended to take, so that the officials
believe they will get them before noon
oday.

Government places the widows of its

Court Of Common Pleas Of Darlington
county has been engaged since Novem-
ber 2 in trying cases involving the liza
bility of the agricultural order known
as the Changers. The cases are brought
by Il. w. Wagner & Co., a wholesale
firm of this city, against four grangers,
the amount involved being $1,000. said
to be a balance due on notes for 800, 900
given by the agent Of the Changers for
supplies. The Changers were branches
of the Patrons of Husbandry, which
gave birth here to the present Farmers
Alliance. In three eases tried verdicts
have been given for defendants.

New BERNE, N. c., Nov. 1S.-Two
representatives OF a Boston bad debt
agency, who came here last week, left
this city bright and early, leaving be-
hind them a debt which some rival
agency would find 1t hard to collect.
The men. who gave their names as NJ.
l.. Hubbard and V. M. Weaver, claimed
to be travelling representatives of debt
agency with headquarters at Boston.
They engaged board with Mrs. j. M.
Hines, of New Berne, and. after run
for parts unknown, taking everything
they had with them except the bill,
which they kindly left with their land
lady. AS no answers can be gotten to
letters written to the Boston firm whose
name they gave, 1t is supposed here that
the men are dead beats and are taking
in the country as they 20.

A Victory for the Banks.

NEwBERRY, 5. g., Nov. 18.-The
banks are on top now. Judge Hudson
decided to-day that the Comptrol-
ter General IL ordering the auditors to
increase the returns of banks acted
without the authority of law, and his
act Is therefore illegal and nugatory.
The case came up on~a petition for a
writ of mandamus by the Newberry
National Bank to compel the county
auditor to change his tax list and tax
duplicate and to reduce the assessment
to the returns as made by the president
of the bank. The petition was granted
and the clerk Of the Court was ordered
to forthwith issue the writ. The bank
returned Its stock at par. This return
was accepted by the township board Of
assessors and tho county board of
equalization. The market value Of the
stock is about 800 on the share above
par. The Comptroller General ordered
the auditor to change the return and
place the stock on tax duplicate for
taxation at its market value, thereby
increasing the returns of the bank
about $4,000. Under this decision the
auditor is required to correct his tax
duplicate so as to restore the original
valuation of the property and make the
corresponding reduction in the tax pay
ment by the bank. The case will 60 to
the Supreme Court.

Fighting the South Bound.

The Savannah News, of recent date
says: 'The Richmond and Danville
seems to be adopting policy Of repres-
sion. toward the South Bound. 1t has
notified the South Bound that it Will
not receive freights from Savannah and
through points from it for any points
on it's lines north Of Columbia and west
of Augusta. Naturally it does not turn
over any freight to the South Bound
that can be carried around by its own
lines. This action of the Richmond
and Danville practically limits the South
Bound to its local territory. "It pre-
vents Savannah from getting the bene-
fits of the decreased distance to points
north of us" said South Bound rail
road man yesterday, and compels them
to pay for shipping their goods over the
same old round about routes" The
putting on of the new schedule between
Savannah and Charlotte to connect
with the Richmond and Danville for
Washington and New York, giving
practically the same time as the Allan
tic Coast Line Is regarded as an attempt
to forestall the anticipated short route
schedule by the South Bound. 1t is
said now that the Richmond and Dan
vile will not give the South Bound a
vestibule train or a through Pullman
service between Savannah and Char
lotte to connect with the vestibule on
the Richmond and Danville for Wash
ington and New York, as was confident
ly expected a short while ago."

After acrimonious discussion word
was sent TO tho anti-sub-treasury men
to send in their protest,
The antis replied to this that the com.
mittee was empowered through Yea.
mans to present the protest, and until
Yeamans could be heard by the Supreme
Council the latter body would necessari-
ly be deprived Of the pleasure of reading
the protest.
The answer Of the council was that
the protestants could not be heard un-
less they furnished the council with q
copy of the protest. This the autis re-
fused to do unless they could present
their protest In person, and that ended
the negotiations between the two wings
OF the Alliance. The result is a split.
The executive committee of the anti
sub treasury party will now proceed to
Texas, where 127 sub-Alliapces have
already declared against the sub-treas-
ury scheme and will begin the work of
organizing new Alliance. The call
for national convention will probably
be issued tomorrow.
The capture OF the Alliance by the
Peoples party was practically accom-
plished two or three days ago, but the
full extent of the capture was not ap-
parent till to-day when President Polk
was unanimously reelected and j. H..
Louks, OF South Dakota, was chosen
vise-president; j. Fl. Turner was re-
elected secretary and treasurer; and @.
f. Willets. of Kansas. national lecturer.
George r. Washburn, of the national
executive committee of the Peoples
party stated that the leaders of that par
ty were iubilant over the election of
Polk. Of the four great leaders in the
Alliance, Livingston, McCune, Terrell
and Polk, the latter was regarded as
the one favorable to independent politi-
cal action.
Polk in his annual address Tuesday
night positively condemned the two old
parties and in the address, so strongly
indicated his tendencies to the Peoples
party movement that the election of
any other one of the gentlemen men
toned would have been regarded as a
blow to the Peoples party.
While on the other hand the re-elec-
ton Of Polk is regarded as great VIC
/ tory for the Peoples party, the election
of Louks, OF South Dakota, as Vice
President, is regarded as greater VIC
tory from the fact that he ls member
of the national committee of the Poo
ple's party. The fact that large num-
ber Of Farmers Alliance delegates are
also members of other industrial organ
izations and working together would in
dicate that the trend of their action was
toward a unification of all, and in the
direction of independent political action.
