The Supreme court of Utah has decid-
ed that women cannot legally vote at
the coming election, when the adoption
of the constitution of the new State is
ITO be acted on. Three justices sat in
the woman suffrage case, and two Of
them voted to overrule the decision of
the lower court, which was to the effect
that as the new constitution gave wo-
men the same suffrage rights as men,
they could vote on the adoption Of that
constitution, as well as for State officers
at the same time. The majority Of the
Supreme court now rules that the terri
torial laws remain in force until the new
constitution has been adopted by the
people and approved by Congress, and
as these laws forbid, women cannot vote
at the coming election. Thousands OF
women have registered and the Repub-
llcans have nominated women candi-
dates for several offices.

er had, he says, was about ten years

M. u. Payne, the Fremont county
YIowa) millionaire who died the other
day, was lifelong friend of Jefferson
Davis; and when the latter was elected
president of the Confederacy he ap-
pointed Payne secretary of the interior,
an office, however, which he did not ac-
cept. After the war he came north and
settled in Fremont county Qowa),
where he amassed a fortune of more
than a million dollars. He owned land
in every State in the Onion except one,
the most of his real estate being in
Fremont county, where he had $4,000
acres. When Jefferson Davis died he
owed Mr.. Payne 100000, which he had
forgotten to pay. When Davis died
Payne was called to his home in Mis-
sissippi to preach his funeral sermon.
Payne's will, just filed for probate,
shows his money requests to be s22S, 900,
aside from his real estate. He made
large requests in charity, beside liberal
provision for his widow, children, rela-
tives and servants.

The Electrical Review estimates that
the electric cars have thrown 275000
horses out of employment in this coun-
try. 1t is figured that these horses
would consume about f25,000 bushels of
oats or corn per day, besides hundreds
of tons Of hay, and that the discontin-
nance of the demand for these articles
of fodder will appreciably affect prices
and considerably reduce the tonnage
of the railroads. But the demand for
coal will be correspondingly increased
and the gain in the freightage of coal
will make UP for the loss in the freight
age of horse food.

Bridgeport's Garbage.

bridgeport, Nov. 11.-Today the
Bridgeport Utilization company assum-
ed it's contract with the city for the re-
duction of the city gorbage to the Holt
hause process. bridgeport is thus the
first city Of the American continent to
employ under municipal contract a
sanitary system of garbage disposal.
The process is an interesting one. The
garbage is placed in rendering" tanks,
which are Theoretically sealed. Thirty
five pounds of steam is then introduced
and the mass is boiled. The mass is
then pr ssed and the grease Is extracted.
The water is distilled and flows from
the tanks chemically pure, so pure, in
fact, that the company's chemist pre-
fers it to any water that he can obtain
for drinking purposes. The residue Is
dried and used for fertilizer. The ca
pacity of the plant is seventy tons day,
but Bridgeport will require capacity of
between thirty-five and forty tons. The
plant cost $4,000. A committee from
Yonkers, N. Y, was here to-day exam
ming the operation, and it is expected
that other New England cities will fol-
low Bridgeport in the adoption of the
system.

between the Niagara and the William
Hales occurred in latitude 3S north, lon
gitude 74.19 west. The Niagara was
steaming slowly and blowing her fog

was too late. The Niagara struck the
bark amidships and cut deep into her.
The bark sank in four minutes bow

board the Niagara, while the vessels
were together. Five men who were be-

THREE DECISIONS RENDERED.
by Judge HotchIsiss in the Common Pleas
Court Yesterday.


Court Yesterday
In the court of common pleas yester-
day Judge Hotchkiss handed down q
decision in the case of James Doyle
against Henry Giguere, awarding the
defendant one dollar damages and costs
and ordering the return of the prop
erty in question, which had been re-
plevined.
In the suit of Hartman vs. the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance company
Judge Hotchkiss yesterday denied the
defendants motion for a more specific
statement from the plaintiff.
The costs in the case of Marshall D.
Stevens of Guilford against Michael
Kelly, jr, of Madison were taxed at
about $75 When the case was tried
some time ago in the civil common
pleas court in this city the jury render
ed a verdict for the plaintiff to recover
$125. Under the statute it was claimed
that this entitled the plaintiff to treble
damages, and they were SO assessed,
amounting to 1915. An appeal to the
supreme court was taken, and the de-
cision Of the lower court was reversed.
In view of this fact the plaintiff, by his
appeal to the supreme court, saved
about $275

PETER M4HER WINS.
O'Donnell Did Not Know What Struck
Him.

Maspeth, L. l.. Nov. 1.-THE meeting
of Peter Maher and Steve O'Donnell in
the arena Of the Empire A. c, tonight
created an immense amount of interest
amongst the sporting fraternity. AS
early as 8 o'clock there were few vacant
seats in the club house and outside a
long line of sports struggled in their
frantic efforts to get at the box office.
Maher was the favorite in the betting,
his manager, j. J. Quinn, laying odds
of five to two whenever he could find
takers. O'Donnell was not without
friends and a good deal Of money
changed hands
The opening bout was six-round one
between Caspar Leon of New York and
Billy Smith of Philadelphia. Just as
the boys stepped into the ring Corbett
came in and was received with good
deal Of applause. Leon forced the fight
ing and had Smith bleeding and in dis
tress, but could not finish him in six
rounds The referee awarded the bout
to Leon.
The opening bout only served to whet
the appetites of the 1000 persons who
packed the arena. The big fellows
were announced to fight twenty-five
rounds at catch weights. O'Donnell's
seconds were Billy Delaney, Jim Nc
Cabe and Ben Murphy. Maher was
looked after by Peter Lowey, Buck Cor
nelius of Pittsburg and Pete Burns.
Corbett responded to calls for a speech
and said:
'All I've got to say gentlemen, is
that if I'd been in England or Australia
and had acted as Fitzsimmons did I'd
be chased out of the country"
O'Donnell stepped into the ring. He
was well received, but Maher, who ap-
peared a minute later, received an ova-
ton Time was soon called for the first
round. Maher led with his right and
landed on the jaw, knocking O'Donnell
down
O'Donnall had to be carried to his cor

slightest effort to defend his jaw He
got up only to be felled like sheep.
Corbett, who had a chair near the ring,
got up and looked at O'Donnen with
smile on his face. He then jumped in
to the ring and shook Maher's hand
cordially, being one of the first to con-
gratulate the Irishman.

And SENATOR HILL ARE FRIENDS.

Supreme Bench Suitable to the New York
Senators and the Chi eff Executive viii be
Presented to the Senate Next Monday.
Washington, Nov. 1l-When Senator
Hill of New York, accompanied by his
colleague, Senator Murphy, went to the
war department to-day and held a chat
with the secretary, rumors had it that
some important movement was on foot,
The expectations were increased when
it became known that Senator Hill and
the secretary had gone to the depart
ment of justice and held a consultation
with Attorney General Harmon.
The impression found favor that a
New York name satisfactory to the pres
ident and to the New York senat tors had
been agreed upon to be submitted to the
senate when it meets next month for the
vacant position of associate justice of
the supreme court of the United States.
Senator Hill subsequently disclaimed
having discussed anything but "some le-
gal business" with the secretary and
the attorney general.
1t is known that the president has
openly expressed a determination not to
send in another nomination for the su-
preme court until he had assurance that
the nomination would be confirmed.
