Tho Lexington County Court House
CLOCK.

News comes from the heart Of the blue
grass region Of Kentucky that In the city
Of Lexington on Tuesday last Squire RILEY,
acting County Judge. at the request OF the
city merchants. ordered Custodian Call
VERT TO turn the hands Of the Court House
clock back twenty-five minutes. This was
done at precisely five o'clock. In the pres
cnce Of large and animated concourse.
Custodian CALVERT complied with tho
Squires instructions. and henceforth the
standard official time. according to the CEN
trail meridian. is recognized in Fnyctte
county. instead Of the solar time. which
has. since 1884. been superseded as the bnsis
of computation in other parts OF tho coun-
try. HENRY CLAWS old home, therefore,
has been since Tuesday in line with other
portions of the United States.
To the careless observer there is nothing
odd or surprising in this compliance. thus
formally acknowledged. with reform
which generally went into effect eight years
ago. Study the matter u little deeper. and
you will realize its full significance. Lex
ington is. to Il considerable extent. IL Repub-
lican reighborhood. and Democrats are
usually in Il minority in Faycttc county.
BLAINE carried it: 50 did GARFIELD; SO
even did HAYES. The Republicans OF Lex
iny,on had heard on Tuesday. Nov. Is. the
date Of CALyEETS reported performance,
the details of the decision b. the people Of
the United States. on the Tuesday previous.
to turn back the Government clock. which
had been running a good deal moro than
twenty-five minutes ahead of constitu-
tional limitations.
Nh, =, @ Al
majority. the voters Of the United States
stamped out a gross conspiracy against
liberty. justice. and good order by clectins
Democrats to every important Office. They
set bacl, the hands Ct the clock SO that it
might hcnccfOrth register the. recognized
and accredited time. and the Republicans Of
Lexington. like good citizens who know
when the political tide la, set against
tnen,, have merely fallen into line with the
procession. They fixed the hands OF tho
clock. ChLvERT'S action was syinholical.
II was torcshadowed by what was done
week before.
Wa have no details Of the occurrence at
Lexington, Il name ever famous In American
patriotic annals We are not told what
Squire RILEY said or did or whether he
said or did anything. Possibly he made n
few saga and opposite rcnarEs Just as
Likely. !c was tacituru and depressed II Il

MRS. FOLTz HER CHAMPION.
A Move In the Case to Dlspossess Mrs.
EImira starke.

EImira stsrle.
Mrs. Clara 6. Foltz, having championed
the old Iady's cause, appeared before Justice
Of the Peace Gray yesterday morning and
moved to quash the summons in the suit of
the OH Peoples Home 10 dispossess Mrs.
Elmira Starke from room 95 in the home.
The motion was on the ground that the
summons did not state cause sufficient for
action. and moreover. this is the point prin-
clpally relied on-that there is a variance,
the summons showing that the relief sought
in tie complaint is possession Of the prem
ises and accrued rents, accruiDg rents, treble
rents and costs, while the prayer OF the
complaint is only for possession and dam
ages for Withholding.
The counsel for the home objected TO the
motion because the FIVE days notice had not
been given, but neither the lady lawyer nor
the Justice had ever heard Of such rule.
considering the two days notice quite suffl-
Gent.
Then Mrs. Foltz picked the complaint to
pieces to show its Inconsistencies with the
summons, and the opposing counsel main
tanned that there can be no Such thing as a
demurrer to q summons and that an error
in the complaint cannot be cured by mo-
tiOn TO quash the summons.
Mrs. FotZ still commended that the sum-
mons did not state the substance OF the
complaint. or il il did ii stated so much in
addition that her client is unable to know
how to proceed.
Justice GRAY took the matter under ad-
visement and Mrs. F0liZ impressed on him
the Importance Of the case at bar, saying:
There was never before in the justices
Court case so vital to society as the pres
ent, as the grieYous facts to be developed
on the trial win show. l am therefore de-
sirous that every step be legally taken. 1t
is not simple action for rents due or dam
ages accrued. 1t is a case that involves the
methods of caring for the aged and help
less, which is mans most scored duty"

HAW KIES' TRIAL.

Mrs. Donahue Explains tho Circum-
stances of His Arrest.
Michael hawkins was again in Judge
Troutt's court yesterday. on trial for send
ing a threatening letter to Mrs. Annie
Donahue, In the alleged endeavor to extort
money.
During the cross-examination Of Mrs.
Donahue the counsel for the defense asked
IL Mr.. Hawkins was not in years past
allowed the freedom Of her house. She
promptly replied in the negative. She
also denied that Hawkins was the con-
slant travelling companion of herself and
husband during an Eastern trip many years
ago. He was fellow-passenger, but had
been elected from their car because OF i'm
pertinence.
The threatening letter complained of was
received in October, and Mr.. Hawkins was
not arrested till December 19.h following.
Tie witness was asked why 1t was she
waited six weeks before swearing 10 a COM
plant. She explained that ii was because
she WAS alone and timid and as the letters
continued to come she thought IL best TO
take some steps toward protecting herself.
She denied positively that the arrest was at
the request or instigstion OF Adam Grant
or Father Montgomery. Her attorney. John
i. Doyle. however, advised her to have
Hawkins arrested.
Referring to the time when Hawkins shot
at her, the witness said: "When he shot
at me in the carriage he thrust himself into
tie vehicle and uttered sort of low
growing sound, but could not understand
what he said. He fired one shot and /
jumped out of the carriage"
Hawkins claims that the Donahue estate
owes him $4,000. and the foundation OF his
pursuit OF Mrs. Donahue in one way and
other, Is that iDasmuch as she received
one-third OF the estate she should at least
settle one-third Of his claim. The trial will
be continued TO- morrow
