SPRINGFIELD, Ills. Nov. ga decision
which has just been rendered by the SUI
preme court, i'm the case of Dixon VS..
the people, is of great interest to profess
sional men who are called upon to give

N. Dixon of this city, who was called as
an expert witness in a personal injury
case against the city Of Springfield, re-
fused to testify unless he was first paid

gaEe In u Battle.


ScoTrDALE, Pa, Nov. "A riot &C.
CURED tonight in which Henry Gill
lespie and Henry Gordon and Manager
Skimp of the Scottdale Iron and Steel
company were injured. Yesterday a
union man, Frank Keltz, was beaten
into insensibility by nonunion iron
workers and Keltz' fellow workmen
vowed vengeance. Manager Skimp,
fearing trouble when his men quit
work, formed 80 or 40 of them in line
and marched up Pittsburg street. At
Broadway large crowd had gathered
and four of the marchers with drawn
revolvers stepped to the front and Or
dered the crowd back. Just then some
one threw stone into the crowd of non
unionists. This was responded to by a
shot followed by a regular fusilade,
fully so shots being fired, nearly all
coming from the nonunion men.
Manager Skimp was shot in the left
foot and was struck by stone or brick
on the left side of the head and is
seriously, though not dangerously
wounded.
Henry Gillespie was shot through
the right arm, the ball passing through
an artery and he almost bled to death
before the wound could be dressed.
Henry Gordon had three fingers shot
off. Several others were slightly in
jured by being struck with stones.

Bushnell Wins.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 3.-The Demo-
Gratis are claiming nine majority in the
legislature on joint ballot and q major
ity in both branches of that body. The
Republicans claim only II Of the SO
senators which would prevent them
from passing any party bills. The Re-
publicans, however, claim 81 of the 100
representatives. This means Repub-
lican majority Of four in the house and
a Democratic majority of two in the
senate. On these claims Of the Repub-
licans they would have two majority on
joint ballot for senator.
Shortly after a. m. the Republican
state committee quit work for the night
and telegraphed all committees in the
close and doubtful districts to be on
guard and report today just before
closing headquarters for the night,
Chairman Nash and his assistants in
Dictated that the plurality Of the Repub-
lican state ticket would not be over
5000. They were so confident Of the
election of the state ticket that no def
mite figures were given on it, although
the plurality was less than estimated
early in the night.

Reflection and Refraction.

When was a sohoolboy, I was in

moons of Jupiter could be distinctly
seen reflected in mirror held to re-
ceive their rays. Years afterward
I tested it, holding a thick plate
looking glass to get the reflected
image of the Jovian orb. l was de.
lightedly surprised to see a minia-
ture Copernican system in the clear
glass. On either side of the planet
shone bright point of light, in
line running through the center of
Jupiter, each distant about half the
apparent diameter Of the moon.
But when turned the glass to catch
the rays of Vega, Antares and Arc
turus the same phenomenon showed,
only, the outlying lights were much
fainter. Moreover a lamp, shining
from distant window, also had its
two mock moons. The effect is pro-
duced, Of course, by compound re-
Election and refraotion of the rays
from the luminous objects. The
new moon seen under the same cir
cumstances presents peculiarly
unique and weird appearance. This

plurality Of 30 votes.
SOUTH DAKOTA-Indicat are
that Republicans have won in South
Dakota. Smith (Rep.) is elected judge
in the First district by close vote. In
the Second Jones (Rep) is probably
elected by 400 majority, overcoming an
adverse majority in 1896 of 1850.
Smith (Rep.) in the Fourth district is
elected. The election of Campbell
(Rep.) in the Fifth district is claimed
by 1900 majority. Gaffey (Rep.) is
certainly elected in the Sixth. Result
in the Third is in doubt The Populists
have probably carried the Eighth, and
Wilson (Rep.) is leading in the Seventh.
KENTUCKY-A conservative asti-
mate places the majority of Charles H.
Weaver, Democratic candidate for
mayor Of Louisville, over George D.
Todd, the present incumbent, at from
5000 to $500. The entire Democratic
ticket is undoubtedly elected with him.
There is no doubt about the constitu-
tional amendment carrying in Louis

meager and unofficial. According to
these Shackelford (Silver Dem.) is lead

Fusionists ON Ton in Nebraska,

LINCOLN, Nov. 3.-Nebraska has re-
newed her allegiance to fusion by elect
ing the three candidates on that ticket
by pluralities ranging from 10000 to
$4,000. Complete returns have not been
received, but enough are in to measure
the result and indicate greater fusion
victory than in the presidential year.
From fusion headquarters the follow
ing was given out by J. H. Edmisten,
chairman: eve have carried Nebraska
for the fusion ticket by plurality of
from 10000 to $4,000. Together with
the magnificent victory for the state
ticket, we have carried majority Of
the county tickets. The causes leading
to the result is a determination on the
part of the people of Nebraska to de-
mand more and better money through
the free and unlimited coinage Of gold
and silver"

interest In Grain and Provision Markets
Confined to Professionals.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Interest in the grain and
provision markets was, apparently, confined
this morning to professionals. The feeling at
the opening in wheat was easy, December
starting at 9574@957sc, compared with yester-
days closing price Of 9814c, and lack of support
caused q further decline to 9assc, with a reac-
ton to 981sc. The principal bearish factors
were the increase in northwest receipts, the
very favorable Argentine crop news, and the
thorough soaking the drouth district east Of
the Mississippi river has been receiving. The
closing of the st. Louis flour mills on account,
1t is said, of the high prices of wheat had some
unfavorable influence.
