threat. OF Goa, Creek Miners.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 27.-General Kel-
lar Anderson returned from Coal Creek to-
day and To the question: ID you antici-
pate any serious outbreak on the part of
the miners" said: mo one can tell just
what the miners will do. There are many
turbulent spirits among them who persist
in their opposition to the presence OF the
coavicts. At present there are about 163 men
at Coal Creek and they are under strict NIL
itary discipline. A constant watch Is kept
and the guard duty during such weather
as this Is particularly severe. The miners
swear that the convicts will be released
before Governor Bnchanan's term OK pires,
and whether they will attempt TO carry
their threat into execution remains to be
seen."

which. by City Chemist Benton,
showed 1t to be below the legal stand
ard. On the witness-stand Mr.. Benton
testified to having made an analysis of the

1t did not come up TO the legal standard in
the amount of fat and solids and the spe-
cihc gravity was not reached. He said,
basing his opinion upon the analysis made.
he would say the milk submitted had been

tilted to having procured the milk from

had been drawn from the cow, put in q.
clean bottle and sealed in his presence. and
that the seal had not been broken before

THE BIBLE-DAyiS CONTEST.

A Ruling ms tn What Constitutes a "Distih-

erecial TO the Indianapolis Journal
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind.. Dec. 27.-The de-
cision of the County Commissioners in the
contested election case of Bible VS.. Davis
for the Office of sheriff has been made
known. The board held that Davis. Re-
publican, had been elected by 4 plurality.
The decision is very elaborate. and covers
every point. The board ruled that distin-
gushing marks on ballots must consist Of
marks that had been purposely made by
the voter, and not marks which had been
made by blots from the stamp-msrk made
by the voter. 1t was also held in the mat
ter of the tally-sheet showing five more
votes cast for Davis than the certificate
had on il. that the ta~lly-sheet was prefer
able evidence. and that even II the ballots
were cast by illegal voters it was not CON-
elusive evidence that they had voted for q
pertain candidate OF q certain party, mere
ly because Il was proven that said illegal
voters had marched In a certain political
procession. The board was also of opinion
that certain students voted illegally, but
there was no power that could be brought
TO bear on such persons To force them
TO state how they had voted. and
it was impossible to surmlse for what san
didste they had voted. The election re:
turns rave DAVIS 1884 ana Bible 8. SIS. and
the board gave Davis 1927 and Bible 1928,
q gain of three for Davis aud five for
Bible. These gains we're all made by the
board counting ballots that had been
thrown ont by the election judges on &C,
count of distinguishing" marks, the board
deciding such marks were not made pur-
posely, and therefore were not 'distin-
gushing marks.

Of the many fires we have had in
Vesper the saddest event in connection
with any of them was the burning of
three children, Josie aged five, Frank
aged four, and Barbara aged eighteen
months, in house on the south side of
the village Saturday evening. Mrs
Sem, the mother Of the children,
started a fire about 4:30 in the evening
and went out to one Of the neighbors to
see what time it was. She remained
about half an hour and when she
returned the house was all on fire and
breaking out through the building. She
cried out for help but it was too late,
the children being already burned to
death and the heat so intense as to
prevent any one going near the house.
The house burned to the ground and
before morning the charred remains Of
the children were found. They were
buried Sunday at Altdorf. Joe Sem,

/ New DEPOT.
Wy does lie C., u. 6, ST. Pau
Rp. Ca. refuse 10 grant
0ziY request.

If there is railroad company in the
state who usually grants the requests Of
its patrons the st. Paul company is that
corporation. They believe in giving
their patrons the best service possible.
1t is Differed by as fine a set of bust
ness men from General Superintendent
down to Station agents as you can find
in the employ of any like corporation.
Our personal experience in dealing
with them has always been satisfactory
and fair. In every way we have found
them prompt in the execution of any
business placed before them. One
year ago Mr.. G. J. Jackson, president
of the Jackson Milling Co. and Mayor
of the city of Centralia, circulated an
application addressed to the st. Paul
Company asking for new depot, which
was signed by all the business men in
the twin cities. This was sent into
headquarters with a personal letter
explanatory of the condition of the
present depot. The company acknowl-
SuSSu Tue IGCGIpG Vi Tie COmluuIlCdlIOu
and nothing more has been heard from
it. What does this Indifference mean?
We understand on good authority that
the business of 1891 far exceeded that
Of 1890 and the patronage from the
twin cities to this line has always been
liberal. The employees who are obliged
to labor within the old, dingy and
inconvenient depot want and see the
extreme necessity for new one. The
patrons of this railroad who have
occasion to travel up and down their
line see the necessity for new depot.
The business Of this station is ample to
warrant the company in giving them
suitable place in which to transact their
business and wait for trains. Why
don't we get one is the question? We
want the company to answer.
