but there has not been any prosecu-

courts. Mr.. Spiers report states that
the iiardwirlSS, who held controlling
interest I'm the bank never paid In their
subscription. They put in promisory
notes for part Of their subscription to
the capital stock. For making altera-
tons In these promisory notes the cash

Overdrafts exceeding three times the
maximum countenanced by law, were
made but not properly entered. Stock

CELEBRATING THEIR VICTORY.
Friends OF Owens Exhibiting Their Euthu-
sIasm by ParadinE tho Streets.

FRANKFORr. Ky, September ls.-Du-
ring the night and far into the early
hours of Sunday the friends OF w. &.
Owens here exhibited their enthusiasm
shooting off fireworks and parading.
Main street was lined with old and
young, celebrating the victory.
Everywhere there was anxiety to
know the exact result. Breckinridge
men in some instances still hold out
that their man was n winner and tho
official count will in their opinion so
declare. Noel Gaines. prominent
breckenridge lieutenant was asked last
night regarding the threats of contest,
and said:
What is the use of contest when
we have the race won? | honestly be-
lieve 'reckinridgc has secured the nom
ination bya safe, Eut small ma jority."
An Owens man said last night that he
thought such talk was bluff and
showed clearly that Brcckinridge was
dying hard. But" he added, If they
attempt to defraud our man out of the
result there will be blood spilled. The
election was too hard fought and won
to be stolen. The first sign of chican-
cry means blood.
hc people Pcncrally regard owens
as the rightful nominee and should the
district committee. which has ma jori-
ty for breckenridge, declare their fa-
voritc the nominee, a split is certain.
The Owens club last night place a
guard ut the county clerks Off, vt
Frankfort where the election re' =
are, to sec that the Iircckinridge men
made no attempt To dcfraud Owens out
of the nomination. There was much
excitement here last night. Spies have
been sent to Owen and Henry counties
where fraud is alleged and it is proba-
bic the election will we contested. The
breckenridge people say they have re-
duccd the plurality of Owens to Ia
votes. At the Owens headquarters his
followers were very uneasy. fearing
trouble in declaring their man the nom
incc and threaten to throw their
strength to the republican candidate.

women's Affairs In England.

Although Miss Johnson has beaten all

general work of improving the higher
education of women appears to be in q

Of money The association has been
patronized by aristocratic faddists to
any extent, but the interest in its doings
rapidly vanishes when call for cash is
made. On the other hand, women poll
ticians have plenty of funds and were
never more active than now. Many big
meetings have been held in London and
the provinces, which must have cost a
lot of money, the largest gathering OF
the series having taken place at st.
James hall under the presidency of the
Countess of Carlisle, who is probably
the ablest woman in public life in this
country. This activity is due TO the be-
lief in an early general election, because
there is no immediate need to bring
