Democratic Victory.

Democratic Victory.
EVANSVILLE, April Especial. The
city election was unusually quiet. aud ex-
cept in the First ward the vote was com
psrativsly light.
In this ward bitter fight was
made on Councilman Won Behrsn,
who was candidate for re-elec-
ton. based upon some grievance real or
imaginary which the Journal had against
him. and the probability ia that his
friends rallied to his support as they
might not have donehad they not feltthat
the motive of the attack upon him was
pure personal one. The sixth ward
was lost TO the democrats by votes thrown
to the third candidate in that ward,
thirty-fve democratic votes having been
wasted in that way. But the result a. a
whole was q great triumph for the gall
liant democracy OF Evansville.
Only one year ago the republicans
elected their mayor By 1900 msiorily.

OPTION DEALING.
Important Decision by the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court.

important Decision by the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court.
JEFFERSON CITY. No., Dec. IA
most important decision was filed by
Judge Burgess, of the supreme court.
today. in a case involving construction
of the law involving option dealings
In grain. There was cross
appeal in two cases, one by the broker
age firm of Connor g. Conner, OF. ST. Louis,
gins from one Black. and the other by
Black to recover $1,000 put up with the
firm to hold up deal of 10000 bushels
of oats. The court finds that the
dealings were purely fictitious, SO
far as an actual delivery of
grain was concerned. and the court
holds that such transactions under the
existing law are gambling. and conse-
quently void. The court does not in
tend TO be understood as holding
that any person, company or
corporation may not sell any
kind OF personal property for
future delivery which may be on hand,
but If he does not intend to deliver it
and does not have it on hand at the time
1t is to be delivered for chat purpose he
is guilty of misdemeanor under the
statutes.
he court further holds that under
Revised Statutes of 1889 the sale of any
of the properties mentioned within its
provisions without any intention of de-
livering the property sold, and all the
buying or selling, or pretended buying
or selling of such property on
margins or option delivery when
the party selling the same does
not intend to have the full amount of
the property OH hand or under his con-
troll, to deliver for such sale, are declared
to be gambling, unlawful and prohibited.
Judges CAN'T and Sherwood concur in
the views expressed by Judge Burgess.
The decision is more far-reaching than
any former ruling of the court, and in
fact is the first ruling wherein the anti
option dealing law as amended has been
invoked,
