A FLEGEL EDITOR.
He Claims to Havo Been Libelsd in
uis Own Paper.

uis Own Paper.
SAN Francisco, Nov. I5.-An arrest
for criminal libel here today brings to
light peculiar state of affairs existing
in the Office of the Slavanska Sloga, a
Slavonian newspaper. Louis W. Pisku-
lich, editor and proprietor OF the paper,
caused the arrest of Moth Zvant, his as
sistant editor, and the peculiar feature
of the case is that Zvant is accused of
having grossly libeled Piekulich through
the columns of Piskulich's own journal.
Following disagreement, Zvant caused
the following statement to be conspic-
uously inserted in the columns of the
paper:
The proprietor of this paper is a
hegel without any education. He was
shoemaker in Dalmatia, and came
here to edit a journal. He himself
cannot write"
Piskulich. in his com plant, AYERS that
a hegel is q backguard. The publica-
ticn in the EDITORS own paper created q
lively row in local Slavonian circles,
which are never lacking in Sensational
quarrels and alleged conspiracies.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
On Its Decision Depends tho Lifo of
Many Valuable Patents.


Many Valuable Patents.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. Is. - Argument
was begun in the United States supreme
court today in the case of the Bate Re-
frigerator company We. Schwarz- Child
and Sulzberger. The case is considered
a very important one. as its decision is
expected to decide the important point
of how far the life of a patent in this
country is affected by the existence OF
patent rights in foreign countries. The
case comes to the supreme court on
question certified from the United States
court of appeals for the Second circuit,
the question being whether the inven.
tion for which the patent had been
issued had previously been invented
within a foreign country within the
meaning OF section 1887 of the revised
statutes, and whether the patent expired
under the terms of this section before
the expiration OF the term of II years
from, it's date.
The question thus raised has long been
quesIion of controversy and affects
many patents, including Edison's in.

ELECTION FRAUDS.


Tally Sheets Alleged to Have Been Al
tered in Kansas City.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Nov. 15.-Absolute
and glaring fraud, perpetrated on the
tally sheets used in the recent election,
was today unearthed in the Office OF the
recorder OF votes. The fraud was dis.
covered by W. T. Jameson, the Repub-
lican candidate for prosecuting attorney,
who was elected on the face of the re.
turns but was counted out. The dis.
covery Was made in the presence of Re-
corder of Votes Owsley and was admit
ted by that official. The find verifes
the allegations made py Jameson and
Sloan, Republicans, that the Offices of
prosecuting attorney and county mar
shal. to which they were elected, were
deliberately stolen from them and given
to Bremmerman and Keshler, Demo.
Gratis. Great CONSERVATION was caused
among politicians by the discovery, and
startling developments may be expected
within the next week.
Jameson, accompanied by his attor-
new, Q. F. Small. called on Owsley this
afternoon and made a formal demand
on him to show them the tally sheets of
the various precincts, the returns certi-
which they were copied, and which were
used by Justices Shannon and Hsw-
thorne in making the official count.
Owsley positively refused to show the
tally sheets. but showed the Others.
Holding the sheet on which the figures
were written between himself and the
light. Small could distinctly see whore
erasures aad been made with an ink
eraser and new figures had been written
in ink. These changes, he says, were
in those precincts in the Sixth and
Eighth wards the returns from which
the Star has already shown to have
been changed.
By looking at the judges returns in
the same way, both men were sure that
they could see evidence that the figures
in the tens column in Jamieson'e and
Bremmerman's vote had been altered.
They state that the fabric of the paper
had been injured and that there can be
no doubt that the changes were made
without even the use of chemicals.
Owsley himself agreed with them that
erasures and changes must have bssn
made. Later in the day papers were
filed by Jameson and Sloan ip the
court, asking for peremptory writ of
mandamus to compel Recorder Owsley
to show the tally sheets. The writ had
not been granted up to a late hour this
evening.
Bremmerman and Keshler, the Dem
ocrats who were given the election in
place of Jameson and Sloan, have of.
fered to submit to a recount. This
proposition, however, has been refused
by the defeated candidates, who assert
it is scheme to trap them. They urge
that il the returns could have been
altered, the ballots could have been,
and probably were fixed to correspond.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15..-The Re-
publican state central committee has
been in secret session for several days
past, and it was given out today that in
case Estee cannot overcome Budd's
plurality for the governorship the elec-
tion would be carried to the courts on
the ground Of fraud.
The committee says it has good reason
to believe the great majority Budd re-.
ceived in this city was due to triokery
and fraud.
Only three counties reported complete
official returns on the vote for governor
today Mariposa, Lassen and Santa
Clara. The count now stands Budd
110,94S. Estee 100. 1893; Budd's plurality,
1l50.
There are still 81 precincts and official
canvass in 13 counties to hear from.

A JAMAICA BOY KILLED.


An accident, resulting in the death of
Judson Howard, brakeman OF a West
Shore freight train, occurred at the Beech
streeting crossing shortly before G:30
o'clock last night.
Howard was just starting for work at
the round house, and was walking along
the tracks when he was suddenly struck by
passenger train No. | due in this city from
the east at $50 o'clock. He was hurled
high in the air. Several passengers, who
witnessed the horrible sight, hastened to
the unfortunate young man lying by the
side of the track and crying for help.
Mullins ambulance was soon called, and
also Father Dougherty who lives but 4
short distance from the scene of the acct
dent. When the priest arrived Howard
seemed to be in dying condition and the
final rites of the church were administered
to him. In the meantime the ambulance
had arrived and the injured man was taken
to the House of the Good Sheppard, where
he died within 20 minutes. He had been
struck on the left side of the body, and
from the waist down, every bone had been
broken. He had also sustained internal
injuries, and before he died constantly
called for his widowed mother who lives at
Jamaica, VT
Howard, who was 20 years of age, came
to this city from Jamaica year ago and
wen. into the employ OF the West Shore
railroad company AS a brakeman, and has
boarded at No. 40 Burnett avenue.
The dead man was a strict Roman Catho-
lie and was most popular among railroad
men who knew him. Father Dough erty,
who had been summoned at the lIme of
the accident, and who was well acquainted
with him, remained at his bedside until
death took place.
Word was at once sent to his mother at
Jamaica, and his remains, it is thought,
will be taken there tonight. Coroner
Roberts was also notified, and will hold an
inquest. - Syracuse (N. " Standard,
