GEN. p. w. HARDIN,
Nominated by Kentucky Democrats
for Governor of the State.


The nomination of Gen P. w. Har-
din for Governor of Kentucky by the
Democratic State convention at Louis
vile was the result of a canvass of
extra ordinary excitement and is likely
to be followed by campaign Of I'M
eXampled activity. Hardin is the best
handshaker in the State and one of it's
best orators. AS an electioneerer he ex-
cells even Senator Joe Blackburn, an
other Kentuckian whom everybody
calls by his first name. Mr.. Hardin is
rich man and will not be hampered
by a lack Of money. AS to the man
agement of the campaign no one can
give him any points in the game.
Hardin has been Attorney General
of the State for twelve years. He be-

THE COMPASS vEERED
How San Francisco Lost Its Hold on
the Rideout Whist Trophy-The
Challenge for Another Match.

At the last whist tournament Oakland
walked away with the Rideout trophy
and San Francisco was greatly dis
tressed thereat. Recently, however, it was
discovered that mistake in boards II and
II was the cause of the victory and that
San Francisco instead of losing by four
points really ought to have been declared
the winner by one.
The error occurred through the fact that
the north hand got moved around and the
east and west hands took the place of the
north and south. The points of the COM
pass are used to keep sides separate and
distinct in duplicate whist, and the mis-
take caused San Francisco to let go of the
trophy.
The players of this City instead of de-
manding the trophy back where it prop
erly belongs have issued another challenge
to the Oakland experts, and the matter
will be settled March Z, on which occasion,
so say the San Francisco sharps, the prize
will return to the side it came from.
Whist of late has engaged considerable
att tention and the rivalry is exceptionally
keen.

JAMES GODFREY IS HELD
His Case Closely Related to the
Phillips $4,000 Damage
Suit.
The Attorneys Claim That the De.
fendant Is an Important Witness
for the Railroad Company.

The Market-street Railway Company
met defeat in a peculiarly complicated
case yesterday afternoon.
From cursory reading of the court
records it would Eot appear that the
Southern Pacific had any interest in the
prosecution or defense of Godfrey, the man
charged with an assault to murder Thomas
Tracy, but there is another story.
Godfrey, seafaring man and for long
time an inmate of Miss Catherine Nugent S
waterfront clearinghouse, is suitor for
the hand of the fair landlady. His fervid
sentiments at times led him into ex-
cesses that have resulted in great trouble
of mind on the part OF Miss Nugent and
numerous uncatalogued sore spots on the
body and person of his rival, Thomas
Tracy.
Melodramatic scenes have been of fire.
ouent occurrence in the vicinity of Miss
Nugent's boarding house, and the sound
OF blows and blood-stirring anathemas
have lost their echoes often in the stony
stiffness of the City Prison corridors.
The last time James Godfrey "laid for
his rival he handled the latter so fero-
ciously that a charge of assault to murder
was the result. 1t is simple tale of
everyday life from the middle stratum SO
far, but with the appearance of Attorneys
Heyneman and ex-Judge Treadwell as
Godfrey's defenders the part taken by the
railway company is defined.
Godfrey boarded in the same house with
Charles c. Phillips, who has brought suit
for $4,000 damages against the Market
street Railway Company for injuries sus-
tanned while passenger on Hayes-street
car last June. 1t is claimed that Godfrey
will take the stand and testify that
Phillips was up and around at certain
periods when he alleges that he was con-
fined to his bed by his injuries.
Thomas K. Kase, who brought the dam
age suit for Phillips assisted in the prose
cution of Godfrey, representing Miss
Nugent and Tracy, her suitor. who re-
ceived such rough treatment at the hands
of the love-maddened Godfrey.
The examination began in Judge Camp
belts court last Friday, and, being con-
tinued yesterday afternoon, his Honor
rendered decision holding the defendant
over for trial on the charge OF assault to
murder.
Charles G. Phillips attorney asserts that
the interest taken by the railway company
in Godfrey's defense is conclusive proof
that he has been "staked OUT for wit
ness against the claim for $50, 900 damages
The damage suit was begun last July
and is set for trial on the I'd of January
1896.

SALMON OR TROUT.
Judge Low Refuses to Decide the Spe-
cies to Which a Steelhead
Belongs.

The long-pending case against A. Pala-
dini, charged with violating the fish and
game laws, in which the important ques-
ton of whether steelhead is salmon or
trout was involved, came to an abrupt ter
mination in Judge Lows court yesterday
morning.
When the case was called the Judge said
that he had read an article in magazine
by David Starr jordan, in which that emf
nent authority had said that the distinc-
ton as to whether steelhead was a sal
mon or a trout was so slender that it was
almost impossible to tell the difference.
Il am neither Solomon" continued
the Judge, NOR an Izaak Walton nor q
David Starr Jordan, consequently my de-
cision would not be accepted as conclusive
in establishing the species to which the
steelhead belongs. think it better, there
fore, to dismiss the case.''
