ing Miss Josephine Brand of Lawrence

in a crowd on the street her handbag was
snatched from her and her bundles scat
tered on the pavement. 1t develops that
Miss Brand is the defendant in law suit
filed by sister to get her share of this

KOLB KEEPS UP HIS BLUFF.
The POpuliStS Spring a New Threat on
Paper.

They Agree to Abide the Result of the
Contest if Fair Election Law and a
Fair Contest Law are Passed-In the
Event OF Failure on the Part of the
Legislature to Adopt Such Measures,
the Populists Will Hoh a Convention
''to Adopt Some Line of fAction''-Kolb
Gives W. 8. Reese a Certificate of
Election as United States Senator.
Montgomery, Ala, Dec. S.-The populist
members Of the assembly in a very quiet
caucus last night passed a resolution TO
the effect that they would act inside Of the
law until the present session of the as
sembly closes. and if a fair election" and
"a fair contest law" were enacted, they
would abide by the results of the contest
In the event Of failure to pass such laws.
or Of the passage Of any Oppressive
laws" another state convention Of the
party is to be called Ito adopt some line
of action"
There are bills now pending for the
amendment of the Australian ballot sys-
tenn, which was first tried last summer
and also for contest law. Whether
these measures will pass or be satisfac-
tory to the populists If passed. remains to
be seen. The resolution is considered a
mere attempt to intimidate the demo-
cratic majority TO Incorporate into these
bills such Ideas assthe populists choose
to offer. This is not likely to be done
The implied threat Of the populists not
~ n -. a.
ment Of the assembly II they are not
pleased, only causes more smiles, like
those before Capt. Kolb's threat to force
his Inauguration.
Capt Kolb to-day went through with
the form of giving a certificate Of election
to w. S. Reese, Sr., as United States sena-
tor Reese was the nominee of the eau
Gus of populists in the assembly and re-
ceived A votes on the joint ballot. This
is hoped by the populists to be the foun-
dation of contest before the United States
Senate for Senator Morgans seat, but in
asmuch as there has never been but the
one assembly, and as that contains SO
uncontested democratic seats, out of 1873,
il is difficult to see how even the most
bitter partisans in the incoming republi-
can Senate can recognize shadow Of
ground for a contest
Capt. Kolb was very careful to-day to
give this certificate in the presence of wit
nesses, and to have these witnesses after
ward make affidavit as to the exact minute
he enacted the farce. This was done to
avoid any liability under the bill pending
before the assembly to make Illegal such
conduct as Capt. Kolb has been recently
engaged in. The bill has passed the lower
house and was a special order in the upper
house to-day. He was afraid it might be-
come a law to-day, and hence his care.
1t was not reached to-day, however, and
so he is in no danger from its action.

HURsTs MULTI-oHARaED GUN
Tests With the Weapon at Indian Head
Prove It a Failure.

Washington, Dec. s-The Hurst multi
charge gun, as anticipated by naval ord
nance officers. has proved a failure and no
further experiments with divided charges
in big guns will be made.
At Indian Head to-day two shots were
fired from the gun, the first, with 1s9
pounds of powder divided into two charges
giving velocity of 237S feet, and develop
ing about Is tons pressure.
The second Hurst cartridge contained
1872 pounds of powder and produced 2,290
feet velocity. In a former test of the same
gun under ordinary service conditions, ex-
ploding the entire powder charge at once,
a velocity of $500 feet was obtained. This
seems to demonstrate that single charges
are superior to the Hurst theory
