could be obtained will be included
in the "errata" list. The work has
been gotten out under many diff
culties, but every effort has been
made to make it complete aud by
comparing it with the registration
lists we are able to guarantee that it
the name of every registered
voter in the city. Taking the 29OO
names in the book as a basis to be
multiplied by the usual %, the popu-
alton of the city is shown to be
$50, an increase of 400 since the
census of 1890.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Mr.. w. II. Barr Loses Ills House and
Stable.

The residence of w. Fl. Barr, to-
gether with his large stable, was
burned near Casky Sunday morning
before day. Mr. Bars family was
away from home and he was spend
ing the night with Mr.. d. M. Whltta.
ker, neighbor. He was aroused by
parties passing Mr.. Whittaker's and
when he went to the window discov.
cred the fire half mile away.
He at once went to his home to
find it in flames. The stable had evi
IDENTIFY been set on fire and the fire
had spread to the residence. The
lock of the stable had been broken
aud thrown some distance away. Mr..
Bars guard dog was also burned to
death on the porch and must have
been killed in advance.
With the exception of one bed, all
of the contents of the house were
burned. The live stock were rescued
from the stable with much difficulty,
but a large amount of provender and
all the gearing, etc, was lost.
The house was the former home
stead of the late l. d. Watson and
was a large and roomy farm dwell
ing. Mr.. Barr estimates his loss at
$4,000, the insurance being about
$500
The origin of the fire was believed
to e incendiary, but there is no clue
to the guilty party.

Crisis in the Senatorial Race Expected to
be Reached To-Day-Report Against
Capt. Bell

Frankfort, KY, March 2S.-The
situation in the Senatorial race is un-
changed tonight, but things look
brighter for Hunter.
Fifty seven of the Republican mem
bers have signed a pledge to stand by
him.
Gov. Bradley, Lieut.. Gov. Worth
ington, Augustus Z. Wilson and
others are working like beavers to eff
feet a combination with the Demo
Gratis by which Hunters election can
be prevented.
A young man who occupies prom
inent position in military circles in
Frankfort to day told several of Gov.
Bradley's managers that he had been
approached by prominent Western
Kentucky Republican, whose name
he gave, with the proposition that
Hunter wanted to place $4,000 in his
hands to buy two votes. The names
of the two men will be given to the
Special Bribery Investigating Com
mittee in the hope that they may
throw some light on the many bribery
charges. The young military man
said he declined to take the money
It is claimed that there is further cor
rotation of the report that Hunters
friends have raised the bid to $4,000
each FOR two votes, and your CORE
spondent was informed to night
that the anti-Hunter managers had
men watching the two members of
the general assembly about whom
they expressed great uneasiness. In
fact, that was why the Steering Com.
mittee broke a quorum yesterday and
for the same reason it would probably
be done again to morrow at the joint
session.
The Bell-Crumbaugh Committee
has agreed to report against Bell Noe
voting with the four Republicans. The
two Democrats will make a minority
report. Bells fate will be decided
by the five gold Democrats in the
Senate.

wealth's Attorney. He has made a

Doubt About Dir. Gardiner

1t is said that DR.. Gardiner, the

Asylum, will not accept if there is to

Bradley's election to the Senate and

The Bank Tax Deeision.

Concerning the recent decision by
the Appellate Court in bank taxing
cases, City Attorney Clay gave it as
his opinion that the case SO decided
would not likely be taken to the U.
). Supreme Court and that most of
the bank officials here with whom he
has talked, recognized the justice of
the decision. The banks here" he
said, will report to the State Board
of valuation for the years of 1898, 4,
and 6 inclusive, and such board af-
ter the meeting this fall will report
to the city officials who will collect
the taxes. The amount that the
banks will have to pay Henderson
will be seventy thousand or may be
seventy.fve thousand dollars. Hen

On a"I6 to 1" Basis

Messrs. Alternately and BARLEY, the
committee on insurance and contracts,
on Saturday placed Sl52.000 of in
surance on the Asylum again, equita-
bly, distributed among the sixteen
local agents. 1t was at first feared that
owing to lack of funds to pay prem
iums the property would have to re-
main uninsured, and Treasurer Long
informed the board that he could
make no definite promise as to when
warrants could be paid. The agents to-
day agreed to insure with the under
standing that all policies would be
cancelled if provision for payment of
premiums is not made within thirty
days. Each of the agents was given
from $500 to Sll500 according to
his ability to place it. One agent de.
clined to take any of the risks and
his proportion was divided among
the other agencies. The fact that
there were sixteen agents and one
building to be insured, led some one
to remark that the business was
placed on the ever popular ratio of
"l6 to ."

WAS NOT AT GRIFFIN's.
Smith Was Robbed in NOn-Admin-
istratiOn Saloon.

An exciting chase took place on lower
Seventh street yesterday afternoon
after thief who had stolen $5 from
John Smith, a Minneapolis laborer.
The theft, according to Smith, took
place in Shapiro's saloon, at Seventh
and Olive streets. He was playing
pool when an unknown man, he says,
extracted So bill from his pocket and
ran out of the side door. Smith followed,
crying stop thief at the top of his
voice, and a crowd quickly gathered.
Among those who saw the thief some
distance in advance of his pursuers
was j. c. McHugh, a clerk in the
freight auditors department of the
Great Northern Railroad company
Mr.. McHugh was mounted on a bicycle
and at once joined in the chase, at a
three-minute clip. The thief turned
down John street and ran into the Bur-
lington railroad yards, where he was
overtaken by Mr.. McHugh. The man as
sumed a defiant air and asked what his
pursuer wanted. Every one else had
given up the chase, and after getting
a good look at the man Mr.. McHugh
informed him that he really had no
business whatever with him. The
stranger then disappeared among the
cars and Mr. McHugh went to his Of
flee.
Some time later the police learned of
the theft and as they could not catch
the thief they valiantly seized Smith
and locked him up on the charge OF
drunkenness.

ergetic women organized themselves
into a club for the purpose OF studying
the history, literature and art OF va

naitted to the State Federation OF
Women's Clubs, and ever since has
been a thriving auxiliary of that fed

ern Europe and Mrs. George Drew

Miss Mary T. Sturgis, of st. Paul,

bility of forming a current event class
