opinion by Holt: Judgment of circuit
court affirmed. This case grew out OF
contest for the removal OF the county
seat OF Grant county. from Petersburg
to Maysville. The law required that at
least thrcc-flfths OF the votes OF the citi-
zcns ~ the county should be obtained
before the county-ScRt OF any county
should be removed. At several elections
In Grant county a majority in favor or
removal was obtained but not three
ilfths. At the last session OF the legis-
lature an act was passed making II law
ful TO renove the county seat OF Grant
county on the assent OF majority OF the
voters OF the county. The matter being
taken into court, the circuit cnurt OF
Hampshire county, in which the case
was tried, held that the act passed at
the last session OF the legislature In rela-
ton thereto was class legislation and
therefore unconstitutional. The su-
preme court sustained the Judgment OF
the lower court. and therefore leaves the
county seat oC Grant at Petersburg.
Maxwell vs.. 6urbridge. from Dodd-
ridge county, writ OF certlorari awarded.
Adjourned till next Wednesday.

Havana, Nov. 9.-Captain General
Weyler has taken the field In person
against the insurgents under Antonio
MaceO in the Province of Pinar del
Rio, and reliable news received from
the front indicates that the Spanish
columns are approaching close TO the
enemy.
On Saturday night the Captain Cen
eral ordered mules to be ready on Sun
day morning to embark on the railroad
with his staff and their horses. The
representatives of the press became
aware Of this. and anxious inquiries
We're made all day yesterday as to the
direction, by land or sea, which the
Spanish commander was to take. AT
Q O'Clock last night 1t was seen that
the cruiser Legezpy was getting up
steam, and half an hour after midnight
the Captain General embarked on
board of her. his destination being the
Port Of Mariel, situated at the north
ern extremity Of the military line
across the Province of Pinar del Rio.
From Mariel it is understood the Cap
tain General will go to the highway
to the town of Artemisa. south of
Mariel. and along the line of the trocha.
Strong reinforcements are being en-
barked to support the Captain General
in the operations now In progress
against the insurgents.
General Aguilar Of the artillery Is in
charge of the staff; Lieutenant Colonel
Juan Escribano is chief Of division for
the campaign, with Colonel
Garemendi as his assistant, and with
Colonel Franco. Major Cos Cayon and
Captains Despujols, Sanchez, Guerra

KNIGHTS AT ROCHESTER.
Convention Of the Lodges Of the United
States and Canada Will Be 10
Session Today.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 9.-The regular
convention of the knights of Labor of
the United States and Canada, which
opens tomorrow morning, will be ad-
dressed by Mayor Warner. General
Master Workman James X. Sovereign,
of Iowa. will respond to the mayors ad-
dress. Mr. Sovereign said today:
THE Knights of Labor have had a
wonderful growth during the past year.
In France we have a membership of
over 100000. 1t is against the rules of
the order to tell the exact number of
Knights either in this country or the
state, because the men might be black
listed by their employers. Only q short
time ago in Philadelphia papers stated
that we had no members in that city
to speak of and a few days later 5000
men went out on a strike. We believe
in taking advantage of improved ma
chinery so as to gradually reduce the
hours of labor to eight hours a day; to
have laws passed fOrbidding the i'm
pOrtatiOn Of convict labor, and to have
government control of the railroads
and telegraph. We think that men and
women doing the same work should
receive the same remuneration. The
Knights Of Labor are not anarchists.
They do not wish to OverthrOy the pres
ent condition Of society. and we are in
favor Of the system of government
laid down by the signers of the declara-
tion Of independence, but we do not
think that the wOrkingmen of this
country have received fair treatment,
or that they have received the share
they deserve in the wealth of the coun-
try"
During the conversation which turned
for a moment on politics, Mr.. Sovereign
took OCCASION to eulogize Governor Ait
geld, of Illinois. He considered Altgeld
as one Of the finest types of American
manhood in the country today, and the
principles which he enunciated, and
for which he stands to be the ones
upon which the government is destined
to stand.

DEACON PRAYED BAREFOOTED.
He Went to Church ShOeless to Pay
an Election Bet.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. S.-Deacon John
Athan Fechter, of the Congregational
church Of Donegal township, Butler
county. shocked the members of the
congregation this morning by walking
into the meetina in his bare feet. Dea-
con Fletcher is considered one of the
ultra-respectable members Of the
church. and Is not prone to laugh at a
joke let alone participate in one.
Taking his seat, Deacon Fechter wore
his usual solemn expressions and sang
as loudly as If the cold was not making
his toes turn blue. After the service
he was waited on by the minister and
his fellow -deacons as to his strange
conduct.
Deacon Fechter explained that he
was paying an election bet. He had
agreed with Arnold Horter that in case
Of McKinleys election he would walk
to church barefooted. and in case of
Bryan's election Horter was to do the
same. A conference was>held among
the deacons, and 1t was decided to dis
cipline Deacon Fechter, not because he
walked to church in his bare feet, but
because he had INDUCED in betting.

THE UNLUCKY TEXAS.
Secretary Herbert Has Ordered a Court
Of Inquiry Regarding the Condition
Of the lIl.Fated War Vessel.

Washington, Nov. 9.--Secretary Her.
bert has ordered the following court Of
inquiry on the accident to the Texas:
Commodore ]. N. Miller, now COM
mandant Of the Boston navy yard;
Chief Engineer w. w. DUNCAN, the
senior officer of his corps, now inspector
Of machinery at Cramps, and Naval
Constructor j. F. Hanscom. with Lieu
tenant b. T. Walling as Judge advo-
cate.
The court will meet at the navy yard.
New York, at p. m. Wednesday. The
only additional information the navy
department has received since this
morning is contained in the following
official telegram from Commodore Sic
ard:
"a section of the Texas starboard main
injection pipe was removed for repairs
Just inside of main injection valve just
above floor plates. This morning about &
O'Clock the yoke through which the stem
to the injection valve passed broke I'M
der pressure OF water outside and the sea
water filled starboard engine compart-
ment and THENCE leaked through the
closed water till the doors and gradually
filled the port engine compartment. Ship
not flooded in other parts. The ship set
tied down upon the soft bottom heading
south and now lies easily at high water
in % feet of watev port side and 2y feet
starboard side. secured to cob dock just
south OF Vermont's stern and listed about
six degrees to starboard. Two tugs Of
Chapman Wrecking company are along
side pumping and dived down In starboard
engine room endeavOring to stop leak.
Narketa in attendance; Nina's boilers re-
pairing so cannot be used. Dry dock No.
Is being prepared to receive Texas soon
as leak Is stopped. Further details will be
wired as soon as obtanabe. Sicard."
1t appears from this that usual pre-
cautions prescribed from regulations
were observed from those in charge of
the work in "blanking off" the connec-
tions and as the workmen had left the
valve all right Saturday. The accident
early this morning, before work was re-
sumed, indicates that the yoke gave
way to the one-ton pressure that had
been upon it for about thirty-six hours.
The reference to the naval tugs Mar
keeta and Nina Is taken as explaining
why outside tugs were called upon in
the emergency.

ally found some rich float while walk
ing toward his home from the present
workings of the King Solomon. He
dug for half an hour among the rocks.
and struck the vein. disclosing Is
inches Of between 800 and 400-ounce
ore. The vein is distinct from the King
Solomon proper. and Is about 40 feet
south Of the Solomon shaft. Several
sacks Of the ore have been taken out
at a depth of less than two feet. The
vein as exposed is chloride and black
sulphuret in character. Most of the To-
cations show no ore. though the rock
resembles the Mayfiower recently dis
covered near Whitehall.
Thus far the Mayfiower lead has sur
prised everyone who has seen it. Moth
ing in the State has ever shown up such
rich ore and such profits for the work
done. The mine has produced up to
date $500, 900, and all from very small
hole on the ground. Ore has been taken
out only to a depth of 65 feet and less
than 80 feet in length.
