ELECTION WAS LEGAL.
Court Passes on the Murray County
Clerk of Court Case.


Clerk of Court Case.
Special to the Globe.
SLAYTON, Mimi, Jan. 1.-Judge
Brown has handed down his decision in
the case of w. B. Slime VS.. The Can
wasting Board OF Murray County. Mr.
Slime and a number of others received
votes at the election held in 1894 for
the office Of clerk of the district court
Of this county. In this and twelve 9TH
er counties Of the state the term of the
clerk of court expires on the 1st of Jam
uary, 1896, and it would be necessary to
elect that officer at the election in 1894.
To prevent this Jog in the election
Of officers, the legislature of 1891 passed
a law declaring vacancy in that office
In these thirteen counties on Jan. 1,
1856, and providing for filling the va
cancy by appointment Accordingly
the attorney general rendered an opin-
lon that no election for clerk q court
would be held in these counties In 1894
and the county auditors left no place
on the official ballot for that Office.
In this county, the day before election,
several candidates procured "stickers."
and on election day, in some Of the
townships, voters pasted these "stick-
ers' on the regular ballot. or the
votes thus cast Mr.. Slime received a
plurality, but the canvassing board re-
fused to canvass the votes, because
the Australian election law explicitly
prohibits the use Of 'stickers" except
In case OF death OF regularly nomi-
mated candidate. Judge Caldwell as
sisted Judge Brown in the case. The
court orders that the board canvas the
ballots that were rejected, and finds
plaintiff entitled to Judgment for costs
and Disbursements

Bloody Conflict ut a Dance in Con-
necticut.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. IA bat
tie between soldiers and police occurred
in Saddler's big hall last night. in which
about thirty men were seriously injured.
The soldiers were finally defeated and
twenty locked up. Thousands of fac
tory hands danced the old year out and
the new year in. A raiding party went
to Saddler's hall where the Kosciusko
guards, military organization, were
holding dance, to execute a warrant
for the seizurs of beer. The soldiers
drew their sabres and drove the officers
from the hall. A reinforcement of fiji
teen policemen was called and attempt
ed to enter the hall, but the guards beat
them back with their sabres. The po-
lice were cut and slashed and several
of them were seriously injured. The
captain of the Kosciusko guards IS
hardly recognizable from the bumps and
cuts on his face from the policemen's
clubs, Every one of the prisoners bear
marks of the melee. They were spat-
tered with blood and their uniforms are
in shreds. The soldiers jumped on the
police and scratched their faces and
tore their hair out by handfuls. After
the fight five other halls were visited
and nearly 200 kegs of beer seized.

Philadelphia Traction Mon Not Yet
Satisfied.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. AT an early
hour this morning the situation of affairs in
the street railway trouble very grave.
The employees were then in executive session
with their leaders. and 1t was evident from
the atmosphere Of things that a second strike
could easily be precipitated. The matter I'M
der discussion was the result of a confer
ence held early in the night by subcommit-
tee of the employees and General Manager
Beetem, of the Union Traction company.
This meeting lasted three hours, and at its
conclusion tn aspect Of affairs was favor
able for an adjustment of the difficulty. In
answer to questions, the men said they came
as employees Of the company, but do not deny
their membership to the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Railway Workers which has been
the stumbling block throughout. An earnest
discussion then followed on the proposition
made by the company last Monday night, ask
ing the men to agree that all differences are
adjusted If the 200 imported motormen and
conductors were put at the foot of the lex
ira list and the old men given their former
runs.
At midnight mass meeting Of the work
ers was in session awaiting the report of the

HAIL FROM ALASKA.
Two Prominent Merchants From
juneau In the CITY.


F. w. Young and T. E. Burgess, Of
Juneau, Alaska, stopped at the Nicollet
house last night, en- route for Chicago.
They are taking a winter business trip
during the dull season in the little
Alaska mining town, where Mr.. Young
has been for ten years. Mr.. Burgess
is more recent settler, and an old Min
neapolitan, having left here for the
coast seven years ago.
Messrs Young and Burgess have
abundant faith in the Alaska country
and in Juneau, which is now the largest
town in the territory, with a floating
population reaching about 1000 in the
summer, when mining operations are in
full blast.
Juneau is growing every year." said
Mr.. Young, land we expect large in
flux of people next summer The gold
mines are turning out in fine shape
This summer $1,000,0 900 in gold was
shipped from Alaska, and a large share
Of 1T came from the quartz mines about
Juneau, though the placer mining on
the Yukon river is also profitable. The
quartz ranges a great deal in value, but
most of 1t turns out in good paying
qualities. The fisheries, in which the
native Indians are principally engaged,
are also very profitable.
The population Of Juneau is very
shifting, for the reason that there is
very little to be done there in the WIN
ter. At the close Of the season the
miners usually take ship for Seattle
and spend the winter season about
Puget sound. We have two passenger
and mail steamers now plying between
Seattle and Juneau, and in the summer
get mail about every five days.
Minneapolis people will remember the
contest in the Episcopal general con-
vention last October over the appoint
ment of bishop for Alaska, which de-
yeloped some very acrimonious debate.
Rev. Peter White, who was finally cleo
ted and consecrated, has been in Juneau
for some time. and is making it his
headquarters. He is an old Indian mis-
sionary and has a mission church al
| ready in process of erection. The town
is already occupied by the Presbyter-
1ans, the Roman Catholics and the
Greek church

PEPIN GETS THE CUP.
Minnetonka Boats Won in but One
Race.

Race.
The conditions were very favorable
to an exciting race when the ice boats
got away at o'clock yesterday in the
Minnetonka regatta. There had been
a very stiff wind from the southeast
during the early part of the day, but
it steadied down little an hour or
two before the start was made. The
start was made from the flag in Ex-
celsior Bay, opposite the Red Line
boat house, whence the course bore
away to the flag in front of Charles
Gibson's house and then to the flag
off Lake Park and back to Excelsior.
The race was twice around this course,
making a distance of twenty miles.
There were fourteen entries and their
crews and spectators made up quite
a lively party. The boats and their
captains were as follows: Reindeer,
Theodore Wetmore; st. Nicholas, Eng
lish; Tempest, Ira Fuller; Irene, An
derson; Comet, Newcombe; Red ORA
gon, T. F. Wood; Icicle, Bailey; Plato,

between the Reindeer and Irene. the

John Walter Smith, of Worchester, who
got all the votes at the Democratic SEN

set aside at the last moment and SEN

as Senator Bruce is looked upon as a
reformer of the first class and every
effort has been made by the regulars
within his party to prevent his election.
