drowned by the sudden rising of the
water. To avoid like risk they so ar
ranged their tackle that they would
be able to quickly make their escape.
BY an oversight they used benzine in
stead Of paint in the mixing Of their
paints, and, after they had made some
Roadway with their work. discovered
that their lights were pickering, burning
dimly and threatening to go out II
was soon discovered that the pipe was
filled with the fumes of the benzine.
Suddenly an explosion took place and
the next instant the big pipe was one
sheet of flames. the column of fire and
smoke issuing from the pipe being visi-

The men saw their danger Just in time
and hurriedly climbed down the side OF
the pipe. and lowering themselves to the
bottom by ropes, they hastily made
their exit from the side of the pipe, but
not until the smoke had nearly suffo-
Gated them. They 10 t their ropes and all

ton as to the power of the secretary
of state with respect to certificates of
nomination under the provisions of the
ballot law. The court was also asked
to pass on the question. Does the law
authorize the printing more than once
on the official ballot of the names of
candidates nominated by different par
ties or by petition?"
In answer to the first question. the
court said that the power of the sec

certificate filed with him to determine
from extrinsic evidence whether or
not such certificate is fraudulent, and
whether the nomination therein certi-
fled was made by a convention or as
Semblage of voters in good faith,
claiming to represent a party, which
cast the requisite number Of votes at
the last election, is plainly implied from

Answering the second question, the

IDENTIFY contemplates that the name of
each candidate shall appear but once
on the official ballot, followed by such
political designations as correspond
with the nomination papers on file

Columbus, Oct. 1S.-Jasper Dolby, ne
gro, sentenced at Washington Court
house to twenty years imprisonment
for criminal assault on Mrs Mary c..
Boyd, an old white woman, was landed
in the penitenltiary at o'cock this
morning. He was escorted by the sher-
iff and deputy, and accompanied to the
train by troops.
The prisoner was taken from the
train at Dennison avenue and walked
to the prison. The military remained
in the cars and were carried to the
union station. All troops have left
Washington Courthouse. A Columbus
Dispatch reporter, who came with the
train, says after midnight things quiet
ed down. The citizens had nearly all
gone home, yet many persons stood on
neighboring corners until a much later
hour, discussing the affair, as may be
readily imagined, in connection with
such terrible sensation as the killing
of two men and the wounding OF IL
others by the militia. The militia until
$3.50 a. m. numbered less than 100 men.
Against the hundreds of men crowded
into or about the courthouse, the small
band kept up determined front for II
or Is hours
Finally when the First regiment
from Cincinnati and two companies of
the Fourteenth at Columbus arrived
about $3.50 a. M, a square was formed
by the men of the Fourteenth and es-
corted by the first, the line of march
for the cars was taken up, the negro
being in the square.
The prisoner was in the court house
about twelve hours, the officers not
daring. to attempt to return him to Jail
after sentence had been passed. Just
before the troops left the death of C.
w. Johnson, or Mac" Johnson, was
announced, making three dead. He
lived at T<yles. The prisoner stated to
the prison officials that he was not
guilty but entered the plea of guilty
because he was informed that he was
to be mobbed. He was clearly identi-
fled by the victim.
Governor Mckinley being asked
about the affair said: 1.-THE act speaks
for itself. The troops were sent to act
in the aid of the civil authorities, who
were powerless to quell the mob that
was seeking to overthrow the law and
its orderly administration
The governor says he will not leave
Ohio as long as there is possibility of
trouble. He has cancelled his engage
ments at Louisville and Nashville, and
the meeting at New Orleans will de-
pend upon the developments today.

the head today while shooting over the
covers of Quantock lodge, Bridgewat-
er. Somersetshire, the residence of. Ed

death by the accidental discharge of
his own gun at I<inmount in 1858. A

cidental discharge of his own pistol in

This accident changed the succession
to the title with the result that the
Dukes of Buceleuch became the Dukes

Duke of Buceleuch's eldest son, Lord
Dalkeith, was accidentally killed while
deer stalking in 1886. Viscount Drum
laney's uncle, Lord Francis Douglass,
was also killed by fall from the Mat
terhorn in 1865.
Viscount Drumley dropped in the
rear Of the party today. A shot was
heard, but no notice was taken. Later,
as he failed to join the party, the 9TH
ers went in search and found him ly-
ing against a hedge with his head ter
ribly injured. He died before the doc
tors could arrive
