NOW FOR WATER.
HoKPINsvILLE's SPLENDID NEW WA
TER WORKS PLANT.
Cost Eighty Thousand Dollars and one Of
the Best in the stste-BuiIt by Bow
ling Green Men.
Bowling Green Times.

The Standard Construction Com
pany, of this city, which some time
ago secured the contract for building
a system of water-works at Hopkins
vile, has about finished the work.
There is yet only about mile of pike
to lay and some little work to be done
on the stand-pipe. They expect to
be able to have everything going and
to be furnishing the city with water
by Christmas at the latest.
The construction company owns
the plant that it has built and has or
ganized the Hopkinsville Water Com
pany, which will operate it. Henry
D. Fitch is President of the compa-
ny; John II. Mallory, Vice President;
James H Wilkerson, General Mana
ger; G. G. Smallhouse, Treasurer, and
Ed Smallhouse, Secretary.
They have a contract. with the city
to furnish 100 fire plugs at the price
of $40 per year for each plug and al
so furnish two plugs to the county at
the same price They have put in
ten miles of from IL to 6-inch pipe.
There are three miles of l2-inch pipe,
two miles of 10-inch pipe, two miles
of 8-inch pipe, and the remainder g.
inch pipe. They have also put in two
pumps with a capacity of 100000
gallons each in twenty-four hours.
In addition to this they have erected
stand pipe that will hold about
100000 gallons. 1t is 100 feet high
and 20 feet in diameter.
The water is secured from a creek
which is known as Little River" and
about mile from the city is located
the pumping station and reservoir
The river runs to within a short dis,
lance of the city between two hills
and the damming Of the stream has
made reservoir that holds from ten
to thirteen million gallons. The wat,
er comes from numerous never-fail
ing springs and is as pure as it could
possibly be obtained anywhere or
earth. The company in constructing
the works has spared neither pains nc
money to make it first class in every
respect and it has cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
1t is claimed, and with good reason
that Hopkinsville will have one of the
best water works plants in the State
Though the plant is owned by indi,
viduals, practically the same rate will
be charged consumers in Hopkins
vile that is charged in Bowling Green
where the city owns its own works.
The company expect next Monday
to begin pumping water to the stand
pipe, and by the time the holidays ar
rive the people of Hopkinsville will
have water in abundance.

Dempsey's Defe nse.

"There will be much interest in the
effort of Porter to GUST Dempsey from
the railroad commissionship from the
First district. Dempsey has engaged.
Humphrey & Davie, of Louisville, as
his leading counsel. Judge Hum
phrey assures me that there is no law
whatever for contesting the election
of railroad commissioner. Demp-
sey holds the certificate of election
and will stand pat. Even the notice
of contest Was served after the time
prescribed by law had expired Por-
ter will try to take his contest before
the new state board of contest, COM
posed of the governor, secretary of
state, auditor, treasurer and attorney
general, but that board will continue
to be Democratic until the 9TH of
January. Dempsey will deny the
right of the board of contest to inter
fere with his case and no scratch of al
pen can be found authorizing themj
to decide the matter. The case will
eventually go before the courts inJ
some manner. Dispositions in thep
contest were taken in Muhlenberga
county the past week."-Owensbord

Some satisfactory Prices.

Mr.. Sam Elgin has sold his crop OF
tobacco of about $4,000 pounds to Mr.,
g. W. Elgin, of Hopkinsville, for 81
per 100 around. This is the best
price we have heard of being paid in
this section. The crop is reported by
those who are judges to be very fine
one. Thos. M. Harmed has sold his
crop of tobacco to Mr.. Williams, of
Hopkiusville, for six cents around,
which is considered a good price,
though Mr.. Harmed had a good crop

RUssELLv1LLE, K, Dec. 7.-Brufl

seriously cut over the heart.
Bruff is rather rustic looking, and

warned them that he would hurt the
next one who annoyed him.
Bruff is Kentucky boy, and
Worthington is from Mississippi.

BULLY FOR TONY.
CARROLL AN EASY WINNER IN
THE SPECIAL ELECTION.
The Race Was Holly Contested But Demo-
Gratis Had on Their Fighting Clothes
-BIatz Beaten 452 Votes.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. THE race is
over, and the result is known. After
hard, all-day battle Mr. Carroll is
rewarded. The result shows that he
is the victor by good majority.
The vote in full is as follows:
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-12-10

CarrOll 5 majority ....... 402
The total vote was 3,146. In the
recent November election Bradley re-
ceived in this district l,424; Hardin,
$40; total vote, 3,OO3. In this cleo
ton 143 more votes were cast than In
the November election. There were
400 more registered. Carroll's total
vote was 1901, while Blatz received
only 1,349. Including the supple
mentary and special registrations,
there were 4,257 voters who registered
in the district, and as only $3.50
voted, there were 1,l07 who failed to
take advantage of the opportunity to,
exercise their franchise.
The majority of these are said to,
be negroes who refused to vote unless
paid to do so by their Republican
bosses.
MIR Carroll's victory in the face of
such determined efforts as were made
by not only the local leaders, but by
the Republicans all over the State,
stamps him as being easily the most
popular man in the city.
The election of Mr.. Carroll. who is
Democrat, adds another vote to the
Democratic side in the joint caucuses
of the two houses of the Legislature
for the election of United States SEN
ator, and makes the vote a tie, with
the balance of power held by two
Populists, one of whom has an
nounced that he will vote with the
Republicans and the other that he
will vote with the Democrats. As it
stands, there will be sixty-eight Re-
publicans, sixty eight Democrats and
two Populists in the joint assembly,
and if the Populists vote as they
have announced, the vote will stand
sixty-nine to sixty on joint bal
! lot.

a Stranger Holds n Fistic Carnival
on the Highway.
Minneapolis, Jan. Is. - About Z
O'Clock last evening a man careened
along the sidewalk on Fourth, fol-
lowed by a crowd of hooting boys
and lloodlums. whom he made futile
attempts to catch. On reaching First
avenue south he turned down toward
the river. and in front of the Metro
politan elevator he approached lady
who was about to hoard a Blooming
ton avenue car and brutally struck
her in the face, knocking her down.
The bystanders did not make any at
tempt to resent the insult, but were
gallant enough to assist the lady on
the car while the assailant continued
his way down the avenue. When he
reached Third street be knocked a
man down with a vicious jab. The
drunkard continued these tactics un.
til he reached Washington avenue,
when he struck another lady in the
face. who would have fallen had she
not caught a nearby railing. A tall,
powerful colored man rushed up to In
terfere hut was met by blow IN the
side. The colored man caught the
fellows face and gave him a thorough
beating and wound up with knock
out blow which broke the mans nose.
it was at first thought the mans skull
had been fractured l,y the fall. but an
examination proved to the contrary.
The man was placed under arrest by
Officer Wold and conveyed to the
central station.

vessels are ashore on the coast Of
Wales. The bark Brilliant, from
Cuba for Bremen, was driven ashore
In Poole bay, Dorchstireshire. Her

The Frencl, Cabinet. Defeated in theI
Chamber. Steps Ont.
Paris, Jan. 16.-The cabinet have re-.
signed. having been defeated in the
chamber of deputies on the question
Of giving priority to an order of the
day. The question which led to the
resignation Of the ministry is a wide
one. 1t is really a question of wheth-
er the chamber Of deputies is superior
to the courts Of France, and whether
the chamber is able to set aside the
constitution at will. The trouble was
over contract made by the govern
ment with the Orleans & Midland rail-
way, under the terms of which in re-
turn for certain facilities for the trans
portation of war material the govern
ment guaranteed the interest on tho
bonds of the railway. The government
hold that the guarantee expired in
1914. but the directors Of the COM
pany took different view and con-
strued the agreement to mean that the
government guaranteed the interest
in perpetuity. Tie cabinet also de-
cided so, but this was reversed by the
chamber, hence the designations.
