At Edgefeld junction. Friday
night, stable of thirteen thorough
bred horses, the property of Robert
t. Burns, proprietor of Clear View
Stud, We're destroyed by fire. Other
damage was done by the burning of
fences and out-houses. Lightning
struck the stable, causing the fire.
The loss on the stock is estimated at
between 5000 and $4,000, while that
on the stable, fences, ETC., will amount
to near 5000. Mr.. Burns had but

Punched by a Mule.

Mr.. William B Long, farmer liv-
ing near Crofton, was struck in the
side by mule, Saturday, and badly
injured. Mr.. Long had been plow-
ing and undertook to change brides
on his mules when one of them sud
denly jerked its head back, striking
him in the side and fracturing sever
al ribs. While Mr.. Longs injury is
quite painful, his physician is not of
the opinion that any serious results
will follow.

THIS SETTLES ITFoR GOOD.
The Court of Appeals AHirms the Contested
Election.

The Court of Appeals affirmed the
contested election cases from this city
Saturday, and the claims put forward
by the Democratic side are sustained
by the votes of five Judges. Judge
Grace, who decided the case below,
did not sit, and Guffy, the Republic
an Judge, rendered dissenting opin-
ion. The Council case was styled,
Brown and others against Holland
and others, and the Mayors case
Campbell VS.. Dabney. The city
Judges case, involving the same
points, was not taken up, and will
probably be dismissed.
The Republicans claimed that the
City Councilmen and Mayor should
have been elected from the city at
large, instead of by wards as they
were elected. The court holds that
in cities of the fourth class, of which
Hopkinsville is one, the Councilmen
shall be elected from wards, and that
the Mayor may be elected either by
the popular vote or by the members of
the Council.

"Bungaloo," the home of George A.
Washington, Jr., near Cedar Hill.
Tenn, few miles south of Guthrie,

The Covington Tragedy.

Bloodshed has at last resulted
from the unfortunate factional fight
between the democrats of Kenton
county. Senator VIM. Goebel, on last
Saturday, shot and killed Banker Jno.
l.. Sandford, on the street in Coving-
ton. Goebel was walking up the
street with Attorney General Hen
bricks and Frank p. Helm and as
they came up to where Sanford was
standing, the latter shook hands with
Hendricks with his left hand and
turning to Goebel said: II under
stand you assume responsibility for
that article" referring to a scurrilous
attack made on him in a Covington
paper. Goebel replied 81 do, and
both men drew their pistols and fired
almost together. Sandford's bullet
went through Goebels clothing, graz
ing the skin on his left hip. Goebers
aim was better and Sandford fell with
a bullet in his forehead. He was
shot at 1:30 and died five hours later.
Goebel is under a $4,000 bond and
will be tried on a manslaughter
charge this week. Both men are
prominent and have for years been
conspicuous in politics. Sanford was
55 years old and leaves wife and a
son and daughter about grown
Goebel is 40 years old and a native Of
Pennsylvania and unmarried. The
tragedy has created more excitement
than any other occurrence in the
state since the Swope- Goodloe duel in
Lexington.

New York, Oct 1G.-CspeclaD.- The
condition OF things In the South is
That short sellers in this market are
either purposely or accidentally ig-
norant of the fact that pending con-
tracts do not cheaper actual cotton be-
cause declined, do not increase the
number of bales nor do they make crop
conditions any better. They forget
.bat II is the spot holder who seems
likely to create a price this time ana
not the speculative short In this or
any other market except for temporary
lepressions. Still another thing, this
il the cheapest cotton market In the
United states. In the nrst place DC
tobcr contracts Mt New Orleans are l-S
,ont higher than October contracts,
and interior markets in the South
tributary TO New Orleans are relatively
N not equally higher than that market.
The fact that October contracts in
New orleans are Ia above spots show
mat the people who have cotton to sell
would certainly ship 1t there and re-
nli2e such advantages If there We're any
nyer local spot markets in the neighbour
ing states. II looks to us as though
southern spInners and exporters would
turn their attention to this market
and by November and December con-
tracts mere ana take uellNeTE VI tne
cotton. There Is no expense attending
delivery because each certificate of
1000 bales has been inspected and
classed thus avoiding costs except
what are customary and incident TO

be that during the next few weeks the

New York, Oct. 1G.-'fhe cotton r1or-
ket opened steady at n decline Of tq7
points, because the Liverpool cables
were disappointing. Later CABLES
showed recovery end our market
rapidly advanced from l3frt Icints.
Then followed q period Of widest con-
fusion, the net result OF wh!cn vas n
break of l7Ql9 points.
The market closed steady ct net
decline of l0dl7 points. The selling i'm
pulse originated in reports that Neill
had come out with Il circular pointing
10 a possible 6S0O,0OO crop which wos
half o. million more than previous
rum q. The crop estimate report
spread throughout the country, and
an avalanche OF selling orders grruck
the market The decline was acccler-
ated by the freer movement predicted
for tho interior towns. Throughout
the session there We're numerous rail-
lies, but the main drift OF the market
was downward under enormous liquid
alton. Large selling orders were ex-
ecuted for the English account. Now
Orleans was apparently a heavy buyer
throughout. The market made Il re-
cord In the way Of sales today, the
total reaching 6G0, 200 bales. against
the largest previous total Of $4,000 IN

New Orleans, oct. l6.-The trading
in cotton again broke the record today,
the sales of contracts amounting to
$4,000 bales. The market was feverlsh
and iluctuated frequently. being at
one time 5 TO points above and at
another l2 points below yesterdays
close. The close was steady. however,
and the net decline for the day was
only points.
During the middle OF the session New
York broke badly, owing, IL was said,
10 the selling OF large block Of cotton
by Mr., lnman and TO the publication of
rumor to the effect that Mr.. Neills
estimate was GS00,O00 bales maximum.
During the afternoon Mr. II. NJ. NELL
authorized q statement to the effect
that his London friends will tomorrow
publish his estimate Of this crop, which
Is 6,sOO,0O0 bales maximum. with Il
possibility OF much less. This estimate
includes l,S70.00O bales for Texas. a
figure which Mr.. NELL admits Is
higher than the reports he is now re-
eeiving appear to warrant. The pub
hcatlon of this statement caused the
local market to close firm and recover
most Of the loss. The large spot sales
IN Liverpool, $4,000 bales, was also a
publish factor. The local spot market
