OUTCONELOOES WORSE
More Complications Arise In
 the Kentucky Election.
DUNLAP WITHDRAWs HIS CONTEST

Republicans Declare Ho Cannot With
 draw and That Kaufman Will Be
 Unsoated-An Kinds of Wild Rumors
 Arc AfIoat and Guards May He Called
 tO Prevent Violence.
 FRANKFORT, March 12.-The Ken lucky senatorial election is in worse muddle than ever, and the outcome be- gins to look as if there is no telling how the affair will end
 Just at the time when tho Repub. licans had things where they expected to make count in the election contest of Dunlap vs. Kaufman, Mir. Dunlap withdrew his contest, and for the mo. ment the Republican leaders were non- plussed.
 It is claimed that the case is i'll the hands of the house and MT. Dunlap haa no say in the matter, and that the un- seating of Kaufman will be proceeded with.
 The senate passed resolution for tho immediate expulsion of ineligible sena- tors; also that the clerks shall put the question and announce the decision in all appeals from the decision of the chair.
 Several sound money Democrats in the senate are opposed to the expulsion of Republican senators and also desire that the house shall not expel Kauf- man.
 Five Republican members of the house, it is said, advised Dunlap to withdraw. In stating his reasons for withdrawing MT. Dunlap cited the facts that only Six working days of the ses- sion remained, that further pressing of the contest would prevent important legislation, and that the neglect of leg lslation would overbalanoe the benefit to the party to be derived from his be. ing seated.
 The indications are that both branches of the legislature will resort to revolu- tionary measures. Many wild rumors are afloat, and unless the excitement subsidies 1t is evident that a military guard will have to be called at the joint session to prevent violence.

ALBERT YOUNG ON TRIAL
Justice Vance will Detrmine Wheth- CT He Should Be Held on the Charge of Attempted
 Assault.

At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the examining trial of Albert Young, the negro charge with entering the house of Mrs. Met Lloyd one night last week and attempting to outrage her, was begun before Justice w.. D. Vance, and as theGRAPHIe goes to press witnesses in the case are being examined.
 Mrs. Lloyd was the first witness placed upon the stand. She detailed how the villain entered her house and room-the details of which are familiar to the readers of the GRAPHIC She described the hat worn by the midnight narauder as being the same as that worn by the man (Albert Youdg) who was blowing in lot adjacent to her house the day before the attempted outrage. She also affirmed that the man who at tempted to assault her was of the size and figure of Young, but on her oath she could not swear that he was the man.
 Young's appearance is decidedly against him, and if he is not more brute than human, his countenance is most deceiying.
 The trial of Young was set to have taken place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, as announced in Mon- days GRAPHIC, but owing to the fact of Prosecuting Attorney Martin's s absence from the city, the case was postponed until today. Just when Young was brought back from the penitentiary, where he was carried for safe keeping, we are unable to say, as a deputy sheriff and the iailor denied that he was in the city at II o'clock this morning. Foster < Coleman, Young's attorneys, were the GRAPHIC's authority for it's first statement, and they maintain that it was correct. Young is here now, and more than likely, he was here Wednesday,, or else his trial would not have been set for that day. It would be well for our e. C. to investi- gate more closely before it attempts to criticise the GRAPHIC on it's Scoops. ;"

VOTED KAUFMAN OUT.
Republicans Unseat Him Despite Dun-
 Inp's Withdrawal.

FRANKFORT, Ky, March 12--Just af- ter the house convened yesterday morn- ing the clerk read the refusal of Dunlap to prosecute his contest against Kauf- man. After some debate as to whether the house had the right to refuse Dun- lap the right to withdraw his contest, vote was ordered on the minority report of the Dunlap Kaufman case to the ef- feot that Dunlap is, and Kaufman is not, entitled to the seat now held by Kaufman.
 Poor and Burlington, the Populists. voted with the Democrats. Republi- cans voted solidly to unseat and the mi nority report was adopted by A vote of 49 to 46. The announcement of the vote caused much excitement among the Democrats who did not expect such results.
 MT. Boyle, the Republican nominee for senator, is said to have received 6 telegram from Senator John Sherman assuring him that 69 votes comprised a quorum and would without question legally elect senator. Great attempt Is now being made by tho Republicans to get the vote of Populist Poor. His vote makes the necessary 69, and would of course. assure the election of Ar. Boyle.
 The senate retaliated for the unseat- ing of Kaufman by unseating James and Walton, Republicans.
 The situation is strained and the out Oome can only be oonjectured.

SOME ONE WILL SUFFER.
Tax Payers are Slow About Paying
 Their Taxes

A GRAPHIC reporter called on the Sheriff and Collector of Jefferson County this morning and found his force of deputies with plenty of idle time on their hands, and he asked the question:
 s'Are the people paying up their taxes rapidly"
 "No, sir;' replied the Collector, "They are very slow, and many will get left and have to pay a heavy penalty. The tax books will posi- lively be closed on the 10th day of April, and if Il constant stream of tax payers were to call at this office from now until that time to settle their indebtedness to the county all could not be waited on. So you see that many will be delinquent and they will have to pay the penalty laid down by law. We have done everything possible to induce the people to pay their taxes while there kwas time, but without avail; now they must suffer the consequence. Those who come will be properly waited on, but the longer the delay the greater the annoyance and in- convenience 60 which they will be subjected
 The GRAPHIC would urge all those who can to at once call on the Col leetor and settle their taxes. By do- ing this they will save themselves d heavy penalty and much annoy anee.

the past few years had been blessing
in disguise to the framing class. It had
taught them economy; it had taught
that the cotton crop alone could not do ;
it taught them to produce more and
buy less it had taught them that a
small cotton crop had increased the de-
mand and thereby brought more than a
larger crop which increased the supply.
He thought the future policy of the
government might be uufrieudy to the
best interest of the farmer Still, the
farmers held the key to the situation.
Let them plant less cotton and reduce
the cost of making it by producing
everything necessary oD the farm, and
thus become producers, and DOT alto
gether consumers. He asked the iu.
fuence of every mem Der Of the order to
prevent any increase 10 the acreage of
cotton aud then earnestly urge all of the
members to use every effort 70 induce
the national legislative bodies TO pass
such laws as will forever prevent future
speculation in farm products, and let
the inexorable law of supply and de.
mand fix the prices of their farm pro-
duce.
He spoke of the solid foundation on
which the State grange stood to-day,
and urged upon the members their
hearty support and cooperation for its
future success and prosperity.
The grange then proceeded to the
election of officers. The following is a
result Of the election:

There was more than usual interest
10 the senate proceedings yesterday, al
though not a great deal vas accomplish
ed. Several bills Of questionable char
acter we're up during the two sessions.
Ooe of these, relating to roads and
highways, was slightly crippled in the
first skirmish, and was Withdrawn for
repairs until l p. N. to-day. Another
to prevent black-listing by corporations,
was executed at the night session after
lengthy fight. A third to stop fish
ing in all streams Of the State between
April and November. except with hook
and line, was recommitted after a
lengthy debate. The new pension bill,
increasing the appropriation from $780,
900 to 100000 passed. A concurrent
resolution setting February Goth as the
day to adjourn was sent down to the lower
house Another concurrent resolution
looking to decreasing the expense Of
puollc printing, was also passed and
sent to the house. An idea seems to
have taken root in some quarters that
several thousand dollars can be saved
on public printing.

Master Thompson made his an
nual report.
In his annual report he referred to
the State Grange having once been a
aourishing organization in South Caro-
lima. Iu some counties the oranges
have never ceased to work. To-day,
many who once thought the grange zoo
conservative and slow, now concede
that it is the best organization for the
farmers and best adapted to their wants.
The grange has escaped the rocks upon
which other orders have been wrecked,
and is now ready. at all times, to enter
any contest 10 which the rights and in
terests of the farmers are concerned.
Our efforts should be to so educate the
farmer that he will be enabled to retain
his legitimate share Of his products.
and see that other professions got no
more than their legitimate share. It
matters not how progressive the agri:
culsurist may become, if ne cannot
reap the benefit of what is rlghtfully
his own, bis best efforts are lost aud be
becomes the dupe of somebody else.
Mr.. Thompson spoke Of the grange
and it's educational influence. He said
that all farmers should be educated so
that they could be better fitted for their
line of work. He alo referred to the
social influence Of the grange
In reference to their financial benefits
Mr.. Thompson said that he though too
much stress had been laid on the 6nan
cial feature of the grange tothe exclusion
of other benefits to be derived. In
some counties of the State the oranges
trade has grown to such proportions
that it is earnestly sought. The CO.
operation among the members has been
the means of saving thousands of dol
lars to the farmers in the matter of fer
tilizers and supplies.
