LEXINGTON, KY, Septamber IL
Everything is quiet tonight, the nom
inatlon Of Owens being conceded. 1t
has. however, been a more exciting day
han any of the preceding week. When
ihe Owens men claimed the nOmina-
lion by = decisive plurality Sat
,rday night, the Breckenridge
men stood pat. Yesterday they worked
harder than ever. To-day it became
6nown that their representatives. had
been dispatched into the different parts

with view OF contesting
Ihs nomination before the
Democratic Congressional District Com
mittee, which meets at Frankfort, next
Saturday, and which is the returning
bPard that makes the official count and

THIS committee is composed of one
meSnber from each county. Fayette

ridge. As this committee has done
everything in its power for BrecKin-
ridge In fixing a late day for the
primaries, adopting the challenge rule
aud everything else he wanted, the
Owens men were alarmed to-day on
finding out shat the BreCkinridge
agents were at work wiki d view
TO presenting evidence for con
test before this committee next
Saturday. Thew learned of letters

however, oncede the plurality Of $50,

FoREToLD THE LYNoHINa.
One of the Attorneys in the Kerrville
Case Becomes a Witness.

Case Becomes a Witness.
Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 27.-In the Kerr
vile lynching case to-day after a heated
argument, Judge Cooper reversed his rul-
ing made yesterday evening and stated
that Gen. Peters was a competent wit
ness. Gen. Peters then arose and formal
ly severed his connection with the case as
an attorney. He then under oath stated
that Richardson told him before the lynch
ing that it would take place, and also
stated that Ned Smith and others had
the scheme afoot and that it would sure
ly come off sooner or later. Gen. Peters
told him he must go before the district at
torney and explain. Gen. Peters was one
of the counsel for the state and retired
from the case to become a witness.
Gen. Peters statement was to this ef-
feet: Previous to the lynching, l was
the attorney general of this county Dan
Hawkins, one of the men lynched was
accused of arson at kerrville. l prose-
cuted the case. The evidence against him
worked up by the defendant here, Ned
Smith, assisted by the other defendant,
W. s. Richardson. Hawkins was con-
victed. The case went to the supreme
court and was reversed. II awkins was
defended by James Palmer, a lawyer,
who lives at Kerrville. When the case
was reversed, Richardson came to me and
asked if / intended to go into another
trial of it. 1 said not unless some new
evidence was forthcoming. He then said
there would be trouble at Kerrville If
Hawkins was turned loose. Hawkins
was turned loose, for 1 nolle pressed the
case. Then Richardson, coming to me
again, said: You had better warn Palm
er, the lawyer for these negroes to stay
away from Kerrville, for there is going
to be a lynching there, and the white
people have about decided to include
Palmer in the slaughter 1 asked Rich
ardson how he knew about the lynching
arrangements, and he told me that Ned
Smith had told him all about it, and that
it was going to happen almost any time.
The lynching occurred two weeks after

HAwAIT's NEW CONSPIRACY.
1t Is Formidable, But Not Enough So to
Justify Arrests.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-The following
news came to hand per steamer Oceanic,
which arrived to-day:
Honolulu, Nov. 19,-The government
possesses evidence to prove that the new
alleged conspiracy to restore the queen
is somewhat formidable, but not enough
to justify arrests. No danger of any
actual attempt is now apprehended.
1t is not believed possible that any
hostile expedition can, or will be pro-
cured at San Francisco to aid the roy
alists. Any such force from abroad would
no doubt be summarily dealt with by an
American warship in port. What the
British man-of-war Hyacinth would do
is not clear. 1t is believed she was de-
tanned from her intended cruise to the
South Pacific by apprehension of trouble
here.
The United States ship Yorktown ar
rived yesterday in less than eight days
from San Francisco She is expected to
sail for Korea on the 22d inst 1t is hoped
that the Bennington may arrive soon to
protect American interests should any
trouble arise.
President Dole, since his return, has
received the British and French commits
sioners, who presented the recognitions
of this republic by their respective gov
ernments, and received their exequa-
tours.

TRIED TO BRIBE A JUDGE.
A Man Offers Him $1,000 to $4,000 TO
Let His Boy OH Light.

The Judge Induces Him to Repeat the
Offer in the Presence of Another Judge
and Then Strikes Him and Causes His
Arrest-If Convicted the Offender May
be Given Five Years. Imprisonment
and be Fined $1,000.
New York, Nov. 27-Presiding Judge
Robert S. Hudspeth of the Hudson
county court of common pleas in Jersey
City, created a sensation this morning
when he ascended the bench and an
nounced to the lawyers and reporters
present that an attempt had been made to
bribe the court. He commanded Edward
Wayne to stand before the bar,
and after telling him that he
was accused of the crime, or
dered Constable Loeb to take him over
to the Hudson county jail, where Justice
Macs committed him on a complaint of
bribery.
He will be held to await the action of
the grand jury, which is now in session.
If indicted and convicted he may be
sentenced to five years Imprisonment and
to pay a fine of 81, 800
Wayne's son was recently found guilty
of selling policy slips in Jersey City and
Judge Hudspeth sentenced him to one
years Imprisonment. The sentence had
not yet been carried into effect this morn
ing when the elder Wayne appeared at
the court house and asked to see the
judge. The latter was comforting in the
private room with Judges Hoffman and
Henny, but when Wayne made a Masonic
sign and asked for private audience,
the other judges left the room. Wayne
then said to the judge: Il am a Mason,
judge, and so are you. 1 want you to let
up on my boy. If you win suspend SEN
tence on him, it will be worth all the way
from $1,000 to $1,000"
Well" answered Judge Hudspeth, who
wanted a witness to this statement "Tl
have to consult one of the other judges
on this"
He called Judge Hoffman, and in his
presence, Wayne repeated the offer.
Then Judge Hudspeth became so angry
that he struck Wayne, and Immediately
ordered his arrest.
Later Judge Hudspeth said publicly that
anybody who attempts to bribe a judge
or court in Hudson county must suffer
the penalty of the law, Mason or no Ma
son.

NEW COTTON M1LL PLANs.
The Massachusetts Company Decides
Not TO Increase It's Stock.

Boston. Nov. 27.--A special meeting of
the stockholders OF the Massachusetts,
Cotton Company yesterday voted to re-
sclnd the action taken at the special meet
ing on Aug. 16 by which 1t was decided
to increase the capital stock from $780,
000 to $240O, 900. 1t was then unanimously
voted to authorize the directors to build
a mill IN the south, which shall be leased
TO a separate organization. The amount
Of the new stock of the Massachusetts
mills subscribed for by the stockholders
has not been large enough TO enable tho
company to build "A new mill in the south
with its own funds. The directors there
fore propose to accomplish the same re-
suit in another way. They recommend
that a company be organized under the
laws Of Massachusetts, with a capital OF
5000 900, the mill when built to be let, the
privilege Of subscribing for the stock in
the new company be offered the share
holders of the Massachusetts cotton mills.
IL is proposed that the new company
shall lease all its property &c the Mas
sachusetts Cotton Mil Company for a
term OF 100 years, and that at any time
after ten years from the date of the lease
the Massachusetts cotton mills shall have
the right to purchase the whole or a
part Of the property Of the new company.

PRINCESS BISMARCK DEAD.
The Prince Completely Broken Down bv
9er Demise.

Berlin, Nov. 2T.-Princess Bismarck died
at Narzin at o'clock this morning. Her
eldest son, Count Herbert Bismarck. ar
rived at Varzln yesterday evening in
obedience to summons and the other
members of the family are on their way
there.
Prince Bismarck is completely broken
down by the death of his wife, although
death was not altogether unexpected in
view OF her recent repeated attacks of
IalnJng hts. A few weeks ago when the
princess condition was growing worse
Prince Bismarck said to his old Butler,
whose wife was dangerously i'll, My
friend I share your grief heartily I am
IN the same terrible position as yourself.
Everybody is passing away before our
selves"
The princess died in the arms of her
husband who had been watching her
throughout the night She was fuzzy CON
scious until fifteen minutes before her
death. She died of dropsy.
Prince Bismarck has for some time past
had premonition of a catastrophe to
himself or his wife before they should
leave VarZin, and has recently said re-
peatedly that If Princess Bismarck could
only so to Friedrichsruhe in tolerably
fair condition all might be well. He now
has fears that he himself may not make
the journey in safety.
Prince Bismarck this morning sent
telegram to the emperor apprising his
majesty of the death of the princess, in
reply to which the kaiser wired the ex-
chancellor a long message of sympathy.
The funeral of the princess will prob
ably take place at Schoenhausen.
The princess was a daughter of the
noble Pomeranian house of Won Putt
kamer. Throughout life she preserved
all the simplicity of her youth She was
a perfect specimen, in the best sense of
the word, of the German haus-
frau (housewife). She was very quiet,
bore her honors as the most natural thing
in the world, held fast by the old friends
of humber days, and had but one real
object in life-to make her husband and
children happy. She accompanied her
husband wherever he was called by his
duties, and created for him the home life
which the Man of Blood and Iron, loved
so well, and in which he found repose
and refreshment from his labors. She
cared for her husband and children in a
peaceful, motherly way, and her serenity
and patience, which have always Sc
cured for Prince Bismarck a quiet home,
certainly contributed to his success
through life. She it is" he once said
to a friend, who has made me what I
am
