To Test Question Of Principle and
Not for Salary.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, July 22-The oon-
tested election cases opened in the county
court In this city today. The cases are
those of w. W. Douglas against Richard
Johnson for the position Of commemorative
attorney. and Frank Hume against VIM.
Duncan. supervisor of Jefferson district A
large crowd from the country, mostly me-
groes. have been in attendance all day, and
the witnesses are almost innumerable The
contestants are represented by Messrs. A.
". Armstrong of this city. Walton Moore
of Fairfax and Andrew O. Lipscomb OF
Washington, and the defendants by Col T.
l.. Smith and Mr.. John N. johnson Of this
city, and Mf. Edmund Burke of Washing
ton. Of course. the emoluments Of the
Offices amount to nothing, the fight simply
being to establish the principle Of the mat
ter. For that reason the deepest interest
attaches to the trial. The sentiment Of tho
better class of people. both in this city AMI
Alexandria county. is decidedly in favor OF
the contestants. One of the most important
witnesses for the contestants Miss Lula
NJ. House. the young lady who printed the
ballots, was too i'll to appear in court and
the bench ordered her deposition taken
Mr.. Johnson. for the defense. quoted from
the allegations Of the contestants that the
ballots were Illegal. and claiming that there
had been no election according to law
He was answered by Mr.. Armstrong for
the contestants and the debate waxed
warm between the counsel for both sides.
The issue commended for by the con-
testants Is that there was no legal election.
The court decided that the evidence to be
taken should be of character to show
whether or rot the election was undue.
MIR. Armstrong asked that the ballots uses
in the election be produced in court to
show whether or not they bore the seal
provided for by the Walton election law.
The clerk produced the ballots, when it
was found that both the regular ballots
and the rejected ballots were mixed indis-
criminately, and counsel for the contest
ants decided not to ask for an examination
of the same. Col. Smith. for the defend
ants. claimed that as the ballots he'd been
produced. the counsel on the other side
should not now be allowed to withdraw
them. The motion was granted. Mr.
Moore, at the request of the bench, read
the complaint of the contestants. and the
answer of the defendants was then read
by Mr. Burke.
The court being ready to take testimony,
a recess of one hour WAS taken The court
ccnvenes again at 3 o'clock, and will close
at pm.

the large cities IKE st. Louis talk about
the silver sentiment dying out. but they are
not going to fool anybody. There may be
few democrats In the cities who will
follow the administration, but there are
practically none In the country. This con-

Missouri stand. In order to win the next
campaign we have got to take a bold
stand for silver, and we must be getting

becomes vacant by Dr. Cookies death.
OF the five ministers four are now dead.
Continuing the sketch Of the life Of

passed in this city, DR.. Cunningham
said DR.. Cooke was President OF the

quent tribute to the worth Of the de-

labors of the dead pastor. Rev. DR..
Lester was followed by Rev. Bigger in
a short address; hymn No. S02 was
sung. and the services were closed with

The people of Wheeling were mex
pressibly shocked, yesterday morning,
when it became known that Rev. DR..
w. H. Cooke, pastor Of the second Pres
byterian Church, was dead.
Many who knew him we'll did not
even know that he was i'll, while num-
bers of his most intimate friends were
not aware that his indisposiuon was at
all serious.
As a result the community was en-
tirely unprepared for the sad intelli-
gence OF his demise, and there We're
countless expressions of surprise and
of the most profound regret.
His death carries with it the deepest
sorrow to many far removed from the
limits of his strictly religious and con-
gregational work, for ne was known and
esteemed by scores and hundreds who
had never heard him preach, and who
We're the most iufrequeut visitors TO the
churches Of the city.

DRY will live long in the recollection
OF the members of his congregation.
DR.. Cookies illness dates back about
ten days. In the evening of Sunday be-
fore last he complained of a slight
throat trouble, and a physician was
called to his rooms at the Mcclure. The
malady appeared to be an attack of
Jonsilitis, and on Wednesday Of last
week it was thought he would be able
to preach last Sunday. On the follow
ing hursday-however he sat up
by window, and probably contracted
an additional cold which set at naught
the efforts Of his medical adviser Still
his condition did not excite the slightest
apprehension. and Monday morning the
patient appeared 10 be no worse.
Monday evening, however, he appear
ed to be sinking and the disease de-
velOped into diphtheria Of an acute
type. A consulting physician was call
ed in, but he sank steadily all through
the night, death coming at quarter of
six yesterday morning.
