cate of election as Governor has been
given up by the Goebel people, and
whether contest will be made in the
Legislature is really yet to be deter
mined. 1t will depend very largely
upon the wording the opinion which
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor will
hand down at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. If it implies that the conf
missioners believe fraud was commit
ted, which might invalidate the cleo
ton, did they as a canvassing board
have the legal right to go behind the
certified returns, it is almost certain
that contest will be made. Other
wise it is uncertain.
The Democratic candidates for the
minor offices on the State ticket, act
ing on the belief that the commission
ers' opinion will contain implications
of fraud, have already decided to fight
before the State contesting board for
themselves entitled. They held sew
eral conferences during the day, but
it was not definitely determined until
o'clock in the afternoon to make the
contests.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor were
busy all day writing their opinion, and
it was dark before Mr.. Ellis, who did
most of the writing, had finished his
task. Neither he nor Judge Pryor
made any denial of the fact that they
would decide that Taylor is entitled
to the certificate. They would not
discuss the matter, but tacitly admit
ted that it was true.
The politicians of both parties de-
parted from Frankfort in great num-
bers during the day, and the town to-
night is practically deserted. All the
Democratic and Republican attorneys
have left for home, the former going
this morning and the latter this after
noon. Col. Jack Chinn, who has been
attached to the Goebel headquarters,
left late this afternoon, remarking
with laugh as he passed through the
hotel door: 81 guess it is all up with
us for this time"
There is no indication of any trouble.
There has been a great amount of mon
ey bet on the election throughout Ken
lucky as to who would be the next Gov
ernor of the State, and the bettors are
trying to decide whether, if Taylor is
declared Governor, and later ousted by
the legislature as not being a legal in
cumbent, was he in fact, actually Gov
ernor at all in the eyes of the law. The
Tayor bettors construe it one way, and
naturally the Gobel men figure it out
differently. There has been so much
money wagered on the outcome that
the thing has really serious side to it.
The story that Judge Pryor win re-
sign at the conclusion of the boards
session tomorrow is untrue. Both he
and Commissioner Ellis have lost all
love for the position of election COM
missioner. and both will retire after
time, but neither will offer his resig-
nation until all contests arising from
the late elections have been disposed
Of
At the close of a conference to-day,
former Senator Blackburn authorized
the statement that Goebel and Beck
ham will contest before the legislature,
and that all minor candidates will con-
test before the State contest board.

KEEP OUT-BLUE PAPER WITH
INTERLACED CRESCENTS ADJ
MITTEDLY USED BY MOLINEUX.
THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO AT
TENDED MOLINEUX'S ROOMS
WILL HAVE TO TESTIFY.
NEW YORK, December S.-Several
interesting points developed to-day in
connection with the trial of Roland 3.
Molineux, for the murder of Mrs. kath-
crime j. Adams. First, there was the
capture of an important witness for the
prosecution. This was Mamie Null
lands, the young woman who cared for
Molineuxs rooms at Newark. Through
ruse on the part of the detectives she
was induced to cross the State line
from New Jersey to Suffern, N. Y, and
when once within the Jurisdiction of
the New York State authorities she
was placed under arrest and brought
to New York Immediately. 1t is said
that she will be placed on the stand
by the State and compelled to testify
that Molineux was accustomed to use
the new famous blue paper surmounted
by the interlaced crescents. This same
paper made its appearance in the case
later in the day when George William
Hall, of Moodus, Conn, was called for
tho r,r1rnoca of foc+ifvipr ooponrpino q
letter which fell into the possession Of
his employer, Frank Fowler. The wit
ness said that James Burns, of Detroit,
Mich, sold a great many thousand let
tiers to Prof Fowler, who deals in med
ical remedies, that the signature 'Rol-
and B. Molineux" was noticed and the
New York authorities were notified Of
the find The defense admitted the
identity of this letter as having been
written by the defendant. This is con-
sidered an important point owing to the
fact that it was written upon blue pa
per with the crescents and the defense
has acknowledged the writing of it.
The legal battles to-day ragged round
the question of expert testimony and the
admissibiity of handwriting when mot
disputed
Attorney Weeks fought bravely for his
client, but in the end the prosecution tri-
linphed, the recorder saying that the court
would be forced to consider the exhibits as
being in the handwriting of the defendant
unless the testimony of the witness, expert
KinsIey, should be impeached or contra
dicted by the defense in some manner. 1t
seemed to be a day of victories for the
prosecution for the specimens of handwrit-
ing written by Molineux before his arrest
and at the time that Cornish was under
suspicion were admitted, also the diagnosis
blank of patent medicine concern with
the blanks filled out in handwriting said
to be the same as that of other letters in
evidence and signed IL. c. Barnett" and
in the face of strenuous objections expert
Kinsley was perrnittedto testify that in
his opinion Molineux wrote the address on
the poison package sent to Harry Cornish

RUNIORs OF CHANGES.
Possible Exchange of Two Lieuten-
ants and Other Transfers.

Groups OF policemen and others connect
ed with the police force gathered about in
the vicinity Of the District building this
morning. and discussed the rumors respect
ing probable police changes.
Since the episode on Capitol Hill Mon
day afternoon, in which Sergeant McNeely
figured. many reports have been in circu
lation, one being to the effect that there
will be some officers transferred from the
sixth precinct 20 other commands. In other
branches Of the department, it Is rumOred,
some officers are to be relieved.
In the sixth precinct rumor has IT that
Lieutenant Kelly is to surrender his COM
mand and be succeeded by Lieutenant
Daley. This change will put the former in
charge Of the ninth precinct, taking him
from the precinct where he has beeen III
charge for so many years
1t is also understood that there viii be
transfer of sergeants, as well as a number
OF priVates.
Another rumOr in circulation affected the
detective Office. 1t was said that two of
the detectives would be sent to precincts
and their places filed by some of the men
who have been on probation.
Police officials would not admit that the
latter changes are in contemp lation. They
stated, on the contrary, that such action
would not be taken at present. 1t was
conceded, however, that the transfer Of
Heutenants is probable.

SURPLUS OF S13,OOO,OOO.
Government Receipts and Expenses
for the Present Fiscal Year.

Today's treasury statement shows that
and expenditures $40, 769,S47. a surplus for
the month of over $6,000,0OO For the
month of November, 1898, the total re-
ceipts were SIS 5000 This gives an idea
of the constantly increasing receipts of the
government.
The expenses for the same month a year
ago were S49,O90,9s0 but during that month
the. war expenses We're $40, 391 ,S16 The
war expenditures are still large enough,
the total for this month being S11, 400, 1o2.
This is many millions above what was the
normal expenditures prior to the war with
Spain.
The receipts during the past month were
from the following sources: Customs, S13,-
20l.41I internal revenue, $23693, 254; mis-
cellaneous, I,G4T.9)0. In round numbers
there is an increase of 81 100000 over the
same month last year. and in internal rev.
enue nearly $2,00O,G0O.
For the five months of the fiscal year
the receipts have been s23S 03l. 800. and ex-
penditures So, 62l 900, surplus of about
$13. $4,000
The recent bond purchases are not in
cluded in the monthly expenditures. The
payments are deducted from the cash bal
ance, ana go to reduce that. although the
constantly piling up of surplus will soon
restore the cash balance to where it was
when the offer to purchase bonds was
made. The yearly interest which was an
ictpated under an offer of the treasury
was placed in the expenditures however.

Great Interest in the Army and Navy
Foot Ball Match.

Great interest is being taken here in the
foot ball game between the army and navy
cadets, which takes place at Franklin
Park, Philadelphia, tomorrow afternoon.
Almost every officer stationed in this city
will make the trip to Philadelphia tomor-
row. Secretaries Root and Long and As
sistant Secretaries Meiklejohn and Allen are
going, and there is a friendly spirit of
rivalry between all the representatives Of
the two military departments with regard
to the game. There will undoubtedly be a
very large turnout Of the fair sex, as
every officer from this city will be accom-
panied by all the ladies of his family, and
in some cases by invited guests of other
peoples families
Secretary Root has engaged a private
car, and will take over a large party of
army people, including Adjt. Gen. Corbin
and other prominent officers. The indica-
tons that the War and Navy Depart
ments will be practically deserted tomor-
rev, save by the clerks and messengers en-
gagged in purely routine business.
