OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
A Case Before the Supreme Court
That Will Prove of Great Interest
to Many.

Washington, Nov. 4-Among the cases
before the supreme court which have
been advanced on the document for argu-
ment on account of its public character
is that of +. R. Osborne VS.. the state of
Florida
1t appears that Florida has a law re-
curing all express companies doing bust
ness in towns of more than 1900 inhabi-
tants in the state to pay an annual
tax of $500. Osborne, as agent at jack
sonviue, Fla, of the Southern Express
company, refused to pay this tax. He
was arrested and required to give bond
for his appearance before state, criminal
court which he refused to do, whereupon
he was arrested and imprisoned. He then
made application to the circuit court for
release on a writ of habeas corpus, but
the writ was denied and the arrest and
detention adjudged to be legal. The state
supreme court affirmed this decision.
Osborne now appeals to the supreme
court of the United States upon the fact
that the law under which the arrest was
made is unconstitutional and void, be-
cause it is an effort to regulate commerce
among the several states. The decision,
when rendered, is expected to deal with
this question in a general way and will
be more than of local Importance.

AMERICA NAY RETALIATE.
German Horses VIII Probably Be
Kept Out of This Country.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The embargo
which Germany has just placed against
All cattle may have a sequel which the
German authorities have not antici-
pated, viz: An investigation as to the
CHAMBERS and the diseases known as
horse syphilis, with which German
horses brought to this country are
affected. Secretary Morton called atten-
ton in his last report to the lack of
inspection of horses coming from
abroad, and suggested it would be well
TO provide for quarantining horses. At
| that time there was such comfy be-
tween this country and those of Europe
in the shipment of live stock that horse
| inspection was not urged. Now, how
ever, with Germany closing her ports
against American cattle, the secretary
suggestion of protection against dis
eaSed horses becomes pertinent
There is much more reason" said
DR.. Salmon, of the bureau of animal
industry, why this country should ex-
clude diseased horses than that Ger
many should exclude American cattle.
The action of Germany is ostensibly
on the ground of diseased Texas cattle,
but these are only an insignificant per-
centage of the cattle sent to Germany,
and there is no reason for excluding
| all because a small class are alleged
to be affected. We recently received a
shipment of sheep from England
| affected with the hoof rot, which is
much worse than Texas fever. We sent
them back, but it did not suggest that
we should exclude all sheep because
these were affected. 1t is the same
with horses affected with the CHAMBERS
and horse syphilis. There ought to be
protection against such diseases and the
secretary has urged it. This country
takes a great many horses from Ger
many, mainly of the heavy country
coaching variety. They are sound, as a
rule, yet the CHAMBERS and syphilis
horses get in occasionally. IT, therefore
an entire class of stock is to be judged
by a, few diseased ones, it would seem
to be time to establish horse quaran-
tine"

by his wife. 1t will not be known until
morning whether any lives were lost.
The origin of the fire was unknown
At 7:20 Fred Groesbeck, a clerk in the
furnishing store, entered the building
and lighted the gas. Neither he nor the
policeman who had just made his rounds
found any signs of fire, but it is
thought by some that he dropped a
match. The bursting out of the heavy
glass windows OF the store gave rise to
a theory of explosion of gas meter or
oil barrel.

NUT-GRASs NUISANCE.
Promises to Become a Rival to the
Russian Thistle.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The nut grass, or
cocoa, is proving to be almost as much
OF an infection in the south as is the
Russian thistle to the northwest For
that reason, the agricultural department
will soon issue a special bulletin, urging
q general campaign against this grass be-
fore it gets too firm a hold. This plant
is not a grass. as its common name and
its appearance Indicate but a sedge 1t
has many local names in the different re-
gions in which it has been introduced.
The species is of sub-tropical origin and
is said to have reached the United States
first at New Orleans among garden plants
brought from Cuba. 1t now extends from
Texas to southern Illinois, and in the
coast region to Florida and New Jersey,
being most abundant in sandy soils.
The plan of campaign to eXtirpate nut
grass is simply to prevent it maturing
seed above ground. Nearly everybody
thinks the nuisance reproduces itself from
the nut alone, whereas it propogates a
thousand times more from the seed.
Hence, to effectually and quickly de-
stroy nut grass on any land infested with
it, the soil should be frequently stirred
during the growth period of summer so
as to stimulate each nut tuber and seed
to sprout The best time for fighting it
is between midsummer and frost time.

Claiming.
New York, Nov. 1.-The World to-
morrow will say that during the past
week it has been in communication
with the chairmen of the Democratic
and Republican county committees
throughout the state. 1t will print a
table, giving a resume of the claims
made by both parties Of the expected
pluralities Of Hill and Morton, which
indicate that according to the views
taken by the chairmen Of the various
Democratic county committees, David
B. Hill viii win by 21,S35 plurality,
while the chairmen of the Republican
county committees having charge of
their party's canvass in the sixty
counties comprising the state, claim
that Levi z. Morton is to be the next
governor They figure that he will
have 55,o25 plurality. The World says:
I'm most cases, the representatives
Of both committees agree as to their
county going one way or the other, al
though of course their figures varied
The counties where the distinctly rival
Wainls were made are as follows:
Columbia claimed for Hill by 50
plurality and by 300 for Morton.
Erie claimed by 1,500 for Hill and for
Morton by 5000
Kings claimed for Hill by 10000 and
for Merton by precisely the same
figures
Montgomery claimed for Hill by 10c
ana for Morton by zoo.

one Industry Affected.

Washington, Nov. 4.-One unexpected
result of the war in the east which will
bring it home, perhaps, to our own peo-
pie, is described in a report to the state
department from United States Consul
Stephen, at Annaberg, Germany. He
says:
''The straw plating industry, with
it's seat in Dresden, SaXony, is begin
ming to feel the effects of the war in
eastern Asia. The straw hat manufac-
turers usually draw their material, put
up into straw braids, from China and
Japan. The blockading of the ports
from which these braids were exported
has caused a scarcity and higher prices
of the raw material.
Manufacturers are beginning to look
for other sources from which to supply
their demands, and expect to be on the
spring market, having nothing better,
with home products"

CHAuNCEY,s IDEAS.
Depew Predicts Regular Republic
an Landslide.

New York, Nov 4-Chauncey NJ.
Depew got back from his tour of the
state in the interest of the Republican
nominees early this morning. Shortly
after his arrival at his residence, Mr..
Depew was interviewed as to his opin-
ion Of the result of next Tuesdays
voting, from observations UP the state.
He expressed himself in confident
terms that Hill would be defeated.
Said he:
Morton will come to Harlem Bridge
with not less than 10000 plurality and
he will carry the state by at least
$4,000. This estimate l regard as low.
L would not at all be astonished if he
received 100000 or even 10000 more
votes than Hill.
II see that the Democratic managers
are claiming Erie county by a small
majority. I would not be astonished
if Morton carried it by 10000 Frank
lin D. Locke, who is a pretty good
Cleveland Democrat, assured me it
might go even higher than that

Four Prominent Reformers as Cam

Charleston, S. c. Nov. 4.-The cam
paign in this state began as a one-sided
affair, the so-called faction of the DEM
ocratic party having it all their own
way, neither Republicans nor conserva-
tive Democrats nominating any candi-
dates. The result was that four promi-
nent reformers placed themselves as
candidates for governor. These are
James G. Evands, M. r. Ellerbe, Gen
eral Sampson Pope and W. D. Avands.
Evands was chosen at the reform pri-
mary. The constitutional convention
scheme was opposed by many Of the re-
formers. Pope was supported by many
reformers, conservatives and Republi-
cans. The several congressional dis
tricts will probably continue as they
are now-six Democrats and one Re-

Louisville, Nov. 4.-Fire broke out this
afternoon about 4 o'clock in the building
occupied by the Louisville branch of
the Singer Sewing Machine company on
Fourth avenue, and before the flames
could be extinguished, they did about
$4,000 damage. Just as the fremen had
the fire under control, the rear wall of the
Singer building fell, and i've firemen
" ere caught under it and badly hurt.
The injured:
Valentine Reicht captain of No. hook
ana ladder company; right leg broken;

Captain John Merlin. badly hurt about
head and breast.
Monk Cline pipeman; left leg crushed
and injured internally
Edward Reicht, ladder1nan; cut on top

At the time of the fire. there was a
large audience at the Avenue theatre,
which adjoins the Singer building. The
fire was discovered by the people on the
stage and the curtain was dropped in the
middle of the last act and in less than
twenty minutes the house was emptied
of its occupants and panic averted. The
fire is believed 10 be OF Incendiary origin.
