DEMOCRATS WIN
The Contest For County Clerk
and Jaller.

On last Friday the Court decided
the contest cases in favor Of Robt
Dixon and r. s. Chailln. The de-
cision was unanimous, and follow
ing is a copy Of the judgment rem
dered:
The parties having been fully heard
and the Board Of Contest being full
ly advised adjudges that at the
general election held in Lawrence
county, Ky, on November ,, 1891
the contestant, Robt. Dixon, re-
ceived a majority Of the legal votes
cast at the election for the Office Of
Clerk OF the Lawrence County
Court, and that said contestant,
Robt. Dixon, was elected 10 and is
entitled to the Office Of Clerk Of the
Lawrence County Court and that
cOntestee, +. +. HolbrOok, was not
elected to said Office and is not en-
titled thereto. and it is further adj
judged that contestant Robt. Dix
on, recover Of contestee, +. f.. IIol-
brook, his cost herein expended
amounting to $4,000.
John II. Thompson, J. l.. &C.
Jas. b. Clayton, J. 7. l.. c.
John Compton, J. +. l.. G.
The same judgment was render
ed in the case OF Chafiin against
Gamblll.
Ii is said the contestants have
three winning points, either Of
which is sufficient TO hold the or
fees. One is an indisputable ma
jority OF legal votes and another
is the failure Of the contestees to
file their notices within the time
required by law.
The contestants have from the
beginning declared to friends that
they had positive knowledge Of
their election, and that the con-
test would not have been instituted
had there been any doubt as to the
right to the offices.
Mr.. Holbrook has surrendered
the Clerks Office 10 Dixon, but has
sixty days in which to appeal, in
case he decides to do so. Mr. Gam
bill still holds the Office Of taller.

SURVEY
Now Being Made for the Gas
Pipe Line.

An engineering party employed
by the company proposing TO pipe
gas from the Warfield wells to
points below, spent Tuesday night
n Louisa.
The route now being surveyed
does not follow tho river all the
way, but takos a shorter course
through the country. 1t leaves the
river a few miles above here and
strikes 1t again four miles below
Louisa, going by way Of Mil creek
and Tabors creek.
While here the engineering par
ty did some talking which caused
the City Council to recsive some
undeseryed censure from the citi-
Eens who were not acquainted with
the circumstances. This party
said the Council bad refused to
grant the company a franchise and
that for that reason they were leav-
ing the river and cutting Louisa
out.
The facts are that a young man
named Kirk appeared in a Council
meeting and asked for a franchise
for a gas company. He was treat
cd with due consideration and was
Informed OF the requirements Of
the charter in such cases, and ask
ed TO comply with them. tie said
he would do so by the next meet
ing, and one was called for the fol-
lowing Monday. Nothing was pre-
scented at this meeting by anyone,
however, and this was the last
heard OF the matter by the Coun-
Gil. Mr.. Kirk was here this week
and when asked about II, said he
had sent the necessary certificate
here to some one to be presented.
II 50, It failed to show up.
The requirements were, that evil
dence be presented with the applI-
cation showing that the franchise
was wanted in good faith and not
for speculative purposes, ana that
the application be made in regular
form so that the necessary adver-
Using for bids might be done.
The Council have been willing
and anxious all the time to grant
the franchise, but they must pro-
coed according to law.

Exhausted, Harassed and Utterly
Helpless-Insurgent Behavior.

Il
Manila, June 8 (via Hongkong, June
17.)-There is intermittent firing On the
outskirts of the city in all directions.
! The Spaniards are utterly exhausted
by hunger, sleepiness and incessant
alarms. They have no information re-
garding the enemy's movements until
suddenly attacked. In the meantime
they are in constant dread of the popu-
lace rising up and attacking them IN
the rear. Besides this, in every skirm-
ish, directly the retreat begins the ma
tive troops desert.
The insurgents avoid disturbing the
nom combatants and English women
and children are living peaceably and
unhurt in the zone of hostilities.
Ell Concrete has issued a supplement
expatiating at great length on the "Dia-
bolical cruelties oracticed in the Brit
ish colonies" and predicting a similar
tyranny in the Philippines unless the
powers intervene.
Tonight almost all of the Spanish
civilians are inside the citadel the
troops are manning the walls and the
antedeluvian cannon and gunbOats are
guarding the river.
Admiral Dewey has consented that
the Spanish merchant steamers should
remove the non-combatants. The in
surgenLs exchange signals with the
Americans day and night while the
Spaniards continue shooting at shad-
ows, constructing works which they adj
nit viii be unavailing and lining every
road with useless defenses.
The local banks today shipped G250,-

coffee and soup are allowed early in

One and a half pounds of bread, and

which is kept by a civilian. though the
prices are kept within reasonable
bounds by a regimental committee.
The private eats little or no meat, es-
pecially when on active service, and to
this is attributed the wonderful recu-
perative power of Spanish soldiers.
