LA CROSSE FORGOT TO VOTE
Wisconsin City Overlooked Election
DaY.

La Crosse, Wis, April 6.-La Crosse
the second city of the state played a
funny joke on herself and as a result
of it, will not participate in the cleo
ton of Charles V. Barden to a place on
the supreme bench. Save the judicial
election, there was no other candidate
to vote for nor issue to settle. With the
Spanish scare, the excitement of rails
ing regiments to go to Cuba and Dr.
Powells acceptance of the Spanish ed
itor's challenge, the matter was entirely
forgotten.
When it was discovered that the cleo
ton booth had not been erected, it was
too late, to undertake the work. The
city will save 81, 500 by its forgetfulness.

specialties and in Union Pacific pre-
ferred, in the railroad list, which lost

Col. Gambler will be introduced by Mr.
Pope Barrow, president of the Gambler
Club of Chatham county. He will then
address his hearers, but as he has no OPP
ponent TO assaii, the discussion will nee
essarily be without the spirit ana vigor
of a competitive debate The policy he
will pursue If elected including the re-
forms that have been mentioned in his
speeches heretofore printed In the Morn
ing News and a greeting to the large
body of voters in Chatham county, will
likely be things to which Col. Gambler
will refer. AS he intends to leave at 10
o'clock for Atlanta, so as to be there on
election day, 1t is not likely he will talk
a great while. He will quietly retire from
the hall after closing his speech and with
out interfering with the other speakers
who are TO follow him, will proceed with
q committee to the train.
Among the others to speak will be Sena-
tor Clay, Mr.. duBignon, Mr. Grovenstein,
and Mayor Meldrm If he happens to be
in the city. These gentlemen will be
heard with pleasure, and particularly
Senator Clay, who will make his maiden
speech in Savannah. Mr.. duBignon Will
entertain the crowd with his chan acteristic
eloquence, and Mr.. Grovenstein may refer
10 matters of legislation now being dis
cussed and which will likely be introduce
ed in the Legislature by Chatham's repre-

Unless there is some hindrance the DEM

SITE FOR CONVICT FARM.
Prison Committee to Make Its seIec-
tiOn This Week.

Prison Committee to Make Its SeIec-
tiOn This Week.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct Judge ]. S. Turner,
chairman of the state prison commission,
stated this afternoon that a site for the
state convict farm would in all probability
be selected some time next week.
Judge Turner and the other members of
the prison commission had just returned
to-day from inspecting several tracts of
land, offered along the line of the Georgia
Railroad in Taliaferro and Morgan coun-
ties. The commissioners have been exam
lining sites for three months past, and have
covered almost every corner of the state
in their perigrinations, inspecting practi-
cally everything that was offered them
They have been gradually narrowing a
choice down until now they are consid-
ering only three or four. They expect to
be able to make the purchase of 1000 and
$500 acres and erect the necessary build
ings inside of the $4,000 allowed by the
act.
Judge Turner says they have found the
clay, stone, timber, water and railroad ia
cilities, together with other requirements
mentioned In the act in several sites. and
that the one selected will prove a fine in
Vestment for the state.

NEW FIRE ENGINE HERE.
Commissioner Considering n Public
Test In IA Few Days.

Considering n Public
Test In IA Few Days.
The new fire engine recently ordered by
the fire commissioners arrived yesterday,
and will likely be set up in running order
by tomorrow or Tuesday. Mr.. LaFrance.
of the LaFrance Engine Company, is In
the city TO see that the engine is properly
delivered
For some time II has been the intention
of the commissioners to test the engine IN
some public place, where everybody viii
have "A chance 10 see its pumping capacity.
A thorough test will be made by Mr.. La
France and the finemen, but as the en-
gine was In the trial shop at the factory
several days, 1t is likely it's capacity is
wen known by the builders Where the
test viii be, however, has not yet been
decided upon.
THE engine will be promptly set up"
said Mr.. LaFrance, "and feel sure 1t VIII
come up to every requirement. We guaran-
tee 1t to throw 900 gallons of water per
minute, and If it does not do this, we are
willing TO furnish another engine. From
what / have seen, / should judge II will
easily throw two-inch stream to the top
of any building In the city. This will APP
parentfy satisfy present needs, as the en-
CINE is constructed with the latest inn
provements, which make It superior in
point of running, as web as pumping"
If the commissioners decide to make the
test a public exhibition, the fact the en-
ginc is the largest In Georgia, will doubt
less draw many TO see It. Some think the
test should be made on the Augusta road,
where there is an unusually large man,
but as the work 1t Is expected to do will
be in the business center IL is not con-
sidered a bad idea to test 1t where 1t will
be Leeded. There is a large main slong
the Bay, and the test could be made By
trying the stream on the exchange tower.
such test was made some years ago with
hand engines, which were used before the
prcecnt modern apparatus was introduced.
AS has been stated In the Morning News,
the engine VIII be stationed at fire head
| qcar4ers, at Indian and West Broad
| streets. The commissioners bought hand
| some pair of grays some time ago ana
| Fireman Glass at the central station has
! pl operly trained them for the work. They
! have been gotten In good shape, so that the
only thing to do is TO put them to the col
| lars.

Church Only Asks That the Claim De
Properly Proved.
1t was expected that the committee in
charge ol the building funds of the Duffy
Street Church would get together yester-
day afternoon to consider the matter of
returning to the Oglethorpe Building Com
pany the S1,C0O which Mr.. George w.
Hsupt is said to have obtained by mis-
use of one of the company's checks.
The committee did not get together,
though, and the matter will come up at
a special meeting tomorrow. 1t is the
impression that the evidence presented
will be sufficient aud the church being pro-
tected legally, win place the money in tbs
hands of those to whom 1t is claimed to
belong.
Mr. Wells, 1t is understood, will inform
the committee that Mr.. Haupt brought
him the 81 900 in a package of large bills,
which he deposited and gave the church
a check to cover the amount Later, he
learned how the $1,000 had been obtained
by Mr.. Haupt and at once took steps
10 right the wrong committed by him. 81
The only new development in the case
has been the discovery that considerable
Sunday school funds were appropriated by
Mr.. Haupt to his own use. The exact
amount is not known. The discovery was
made by bills coming in for supplies,
which it was understood had been paid
for,

Mr. Charles Hernandez Found Him
self Locked In the Exchange Vault.
Mr. Charles Hernandez, assistant In The
clerk of councils office at the city ex
change, was telling an experience yes
terday which he hopes he may never
again have to relate. Mr.. Hernandez
was imprisoned in the big Vault for fev-
eral minutes, and during this brief Sc
clusion he says he shared the sorrows
of Dreyfus.
Messenger of Council Cohen is respon-
sible for the mix-up. A short while be-
fore closing time Mr.. Hernandez went
into the vault with some books he de-
sired to leave there for the night. He left
no signals at the door to Indicate he was
there, and before he could make his pres
ence known after he heard the big iron
doors creaking, Cohen had the door clos
ed and the combination turned. He heard
Mr.. Hernandez cry out 10 hold, but Co
hen was so bent on carrying out his in
tentions that the door went.
Cohen collapsed, but resuscitated in
time to call a gentleman connected with
the Office. Mr.. Hernandez was perfectly
composed during his Incarceration, and
managed TO call out the combination so
that it could be distinctly heard on the
outside. BY this means the door was soon
opened, and Charley" stepped forth, none
the worse for his experience. He said he
read once OF man who died from suffo-
cation when locked up in this manner IN

that flashed into his mind after the door
