The Contested Election Ceses VIII Prob

The Contested Election Ceses VIII Prob
ably Last Ten Days Yet
The trial of the contested election
cases is progressing very slowly in the
Hastings Court before Judge Hershey,
and the interest OF the public is growing
less as the examination of witnesses
becomes monotonous.
A. S. Asberry was exa mined yesterday
morning as to the legality of Ferdinand
Rorer's vote. S. B. Weightsman and
w. H. Millner, whose votes were con-
tested, testified that they were legal
voters. Alfred Jones, cplored, Robert
Mcfarland, and +. r. Foster deposed in
the same manner. Judge Samuel G..
Williams was recalled and examined as
to she residence OF Capt. w. H. Frye,
whose vote was contested. He was fol-
lowed by E. d. Brcdie who stated he
was legal voter. John Smith, NJ. N.
Schiller, j. j. O'Brien and j. w. Mills
testified as to the reside nee of contested
voters previously mentioned.
The votes Of j. nj. Derringer, Dur
fling and G Dent were contested. e.
A Burch. q contested voter, swore he
was resident OF the city, and had been
;or six years.
Witnesses were examined, Col j. w,
Hartwell and Edward Lyle, and their
testimony was unimrortant Counsel
for the Republicans announced th at they
had abandoned the contest on the votes
OF w. II. Millner, s. A. Boitnott and j.
w. Trout.
Judge Horsley ordered rules issued
against several witnesses who had been
summoned and who did not appear.
The contestants having no other wit
nesses present 1t was decided to ad.
jonrn until 10 o'clock Monday morning.
Counsel for tho Republicans believe
they will conclude the testimony for the
contestants Monday, and the Democrats
hope to get through with their witnessea
next week. The rebuttal testimony
and the arguments OF counsel will prob
ably consume two DAYS, and 1t may be
regarded as certain that the case will
be on trial at least ton days yet.

and mixed his famous iuleps At these
field days when the trial races were
over and dinner was eaten, it was the
majors custom and pleasure to assemble
in his parlor. and there the day was APP
propriately wound up in singing the old

''There is no more delicious drink in

Col Burt Clark, who created the part of

four years of service in the confederate

WASHINGTON, Nov. "A point that he's
bsen overlooked In computing The polit.
ical complexion Of the nsxt senate b The
admissicn of Utah with two seuatees.
The act Of the last session oe oongrsss
admitting Utah provides that IN March.

and that II the constitution 10 ratified The

there u about Q month from the time the

b the admission Of both New Mexico and

Tho senators Of both parties have been

II IL, therefore, quite likely the battle
