of Election.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 20.-Congressman
Hunter expects to be the next United
States senator and to be elected Wednes-
day. He would be elected tomorrow If
the law would permit the holding of a
joint session that day. As it is, he will
receive a majority of the House votes
though not in the Senate, and on wednes-
day he claims he will get a majority or
the joint session. The democrats may
refuse to participate, but it will make no
difference Mr.. Hunter expects to get one
populist and one democratic vote, so that
he will receive seventy votes. Should the
democrats fail him, he will get sixty-nine
votes, which will still be a majority
Senator Ogilvie is too sick to attend,
but should his vote still be counted az,
making the sum total there will be only

successor to Representative Wilson was
elected, now declares he was misunder-
stood. The senator's got together this ar
ternoon and framed rules under when
they can unseat any number of republican
senators, but IL is not believed that sucn
action viii be countenanced by the repub-
lican federal Senate.

SAVED By A CIGAR HOLDER.
An Interesting Case Before the VAL
dOsta Mayor.

Valdosta, Ga, Jan. D-Dr Henry Col
lier, the representative of Echols county
in the legislature, has enjoyed the same
distinction that was given to Cows. Alex.
Stevens aad w. Y. Atkinson-that of
reading the nice things that would be
said about him in case of his death. DR..
Collier was not killed, while doing the
peace-maker act at Statewide, as has
been reported. The bullet which struck
him was checked by a cigar-holder in his
upper vest pocket, and turned off so that
it passed just below the heart, causing
very bad wound, but not necessarily
dangerous one. From a report that came
from there to-day, DR.. Collier was not
only trying to pacify two belligerents,
but the prime cause of the shooting was
due 10 the fact that he prevented the
suicide, of the man, Walter Miller, who
shot him. Miller was standing on the
track in front Of flying engine, when
Collier, seeing that he intended to let the
train strike him, hollered for the negro
to jerk him off the track. The negro did
this, not caring how rough he handled the
would-be suicide, and thus a fight be
tween the negro and Miller ensued. After
firing at the negro once or twice, Collier
rushed up, and Miller turned upon him
with the result stated. Dr.. Collier is get
ting along very well, and as soon as his
condition will permit, the physician Will
cut the ball from his back, where it is
About half of the population of Lake
Park are in Valdosta to-day to attend
a case between j. w. Smith against the
mayor and town council of the town. The
case is the result of the arrest of Smiths
son for fighting, his fine being $3.50 and
costs in the mayors court. young ne
gro who was Smiths antagonist was
fined a dollar less than was young Smith,
who in default of paying the fine was
put upon the streets. The father of the
boy came to Valdosta and sued out a
writ of habeus corpus to enjoin the city
from enforcing the fine. 1t appeared at
the trial that the mayor did not sentence
the boy to work the streets and, under
the law or charter of the place there was
no alternative from the fine The case is
probably the result of a factional feud,
which has existed in Lake Park ever since
the town was chartered. Smith has com
batted everything done by the town coun-
ell, so they claim, and was a candidate
against the present mayor before the last
election. Bad blood has existed between
the two factions there, and 1t was feared
fight during the last municipal campaign.
