A Cincinnati judge recently gave a
man ten days for stealing an eight
day clock. The thief had time to take
time and then the judge gave him more
time for taking time that did not be-
long to him. While he is serving his
time in Jail he will probably think he
is not having any time at all.

THOUGH they seemed to have every
thing creased, the republicans at Lex
iegton didn't get the machine to work
as rapidly and as smoothly as was pre-
dicted. After Chairman Barnett had
called the convention TO order at 2;lo
p. NJ, Wednesday, Congressman VIM
cent Boreing was installed as Temporal
nv chairman and made a speech vigor-
ously attacking Goebelism and predict
ing a republican victory this TALL by
80, 900. The various committees were
then appointed and the convention ad-
journed till SIP. NJ
The Hambrick-T Todd delegation from
Louisville was given the cold shoulder
and the Deboe-T Taylor program was
rushed through. James Breathitt, OF
Christian county. was made permanent
chairman of the convention aud Albert
5. White, colored, OF Louisville, was
made permanent secretary.
The Garrard county contest was de-
cided in favor of the regular delegates
headed by Gen. Collier and Capt. Hern-
don aud his boilers were thrown down.
1t is said that all kinds OF efforts were
made to placate Gov. Bradley through
Gen. Dan Collier, to whom the nomi-
nation for auditor or any other Office
was offered, provided he would get the
governor to come aud deliver a speech,
but the general declined all overtures,
saying, bradley won't be here, and l
wouldn't have the nomination for gov
ernor from you. You fellows have been
running this thing. You keep on run
ming it,"
Every thing went through like a
flash yesterday morning. Auditor Stone
and Judge Pratt, who also ran for the
nomination for governor, moved the
nomination OF Gen. w. S. Taylor and
it was made by reclamation. John Mar
shall, of Louisville, was unanimously
nominated for lieutenant governor, Ca
leb Powers of Knox county, for secre-
tary of State Clifton ]. Pratt received
his reward in the shape Of the nomiua-
tiou for attorney general over w. X.
Ramsey, oil Laurel, aud Rev. John S.
Sweeney, of Bourbon, was put up for
auditor. Walter II. Day, of BBathitt,
was made the nominee for treasurer,
and John Burke, won from a big field
for superintendent Of public instruc-
ton.
Conductor John w. Throckmorton,
of the L. & N, was nominated for com
missioner OF agriculture. His residence
was not given, it simply being stated
that he is from the State of Ken
lucky. His nomination is further bid
for l.. & n. support, which would have
been given anyway.
The platform denounces the Goebel
bill and Goebelism aud the McChord
bill, endorses the National and State
administrations, reaffirms the st. Louis
platform, denounces trusts, takes a
whack at the civil service and favors
good roads
The convention adjourned last night
after doing like the mountain, laboring
aud bringing forth mouse.
The ticket could not have been made
weaker and there will never be any cry
about the new election law used to de-
feat 1t. 1t will defeat itself. Goebel will
be our next governor as sure as shot.
Senator E. c. Linney, of Louisville,
who helped to down Gum Shoe Hunter,
said out boldly at Lexington that he
would vote for Goebel over Taylor, who
is neither credit nor strength 10 the
party, while Goebel is clean and able
man.

Finding in the Beef Inquiry.
A Claim That the Charges Made by
Gen. Miles VIII Not BE Sustained.

The army court of inquiry has begun
the framing of its report, says Washing
ton despatch. While few minor matters
remain for examination, they are not such
as to affect the main issues. 1t is regarded
as certain that the court will find that Gen.
Miles's charges that embalmed or chemical
ly prepared beef was sent to the army have
not been sustained The position of the
court is believed to be that the testimony is
conclusive that both the refrigerated beef
and the canned beef were in good condi-
ton when delivered to the government and
continued so until issued to the troops, ex-
cept that part damaged in transportation,
or affected by tropical conditions, and to
these causes of injury and these condi-
tions the chief causes of trouble will be at
tributed.
1t will be shown that the refrigerated
beef, after being taken from the ice in the
tropical climate, spoils quickly unless we'll
cared for, and that the canned beef after
opened. because of the great heat, becomes
repulsive in appearance and soon unpalat-
able. But the court will hold, as the re-
suit of chemical Investigations by experts,
that the canned beef is wholesome and nu-
tritious. Attention will be called to the
fact that it was used throughout the war by
our navy and is still used by the fleet It
is believed that the court will criticise
those officers who have testified that they
became aware that bad beef was issued to
the troops and who failed to report their
observations until after the war had closed.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Bandits in Cuba.

A Town Looted and the Cuban Soldiers
Overpowered---Bandi Pursued and
Two OF them Killed.
The town of Caimito, seven miles from
Havana, was attacked and looted by ban
dts Friday night after a hot fight. The
attack was made at o'clock by band OF ~
well-armed bandits, who took advantage OF
the fact that the only garrison there con-
sisted of eight Cuban soldiers under com
mand of a sergeant. The Cubans made a
desperate resistance, but were finally over
powered. One Cuban soldier was killed
and three others were wounded. The SER
geant was carried off aprisoner. The ban
dts plundered the town and committed
many outrages upon the inhabitants. Gen'
Pedro Diaz sent party of 100 Cuban sol
diers under command of Col Morales TO
Caimito Saturday, but when they arrived
there the outlaws had gone. Before leaV-
ing they burned several houses. Col. MO
rales set out in pursuit of the outlaws
About three miles from Caimito the CUBAN
sergeant was found by the roadside, where
his captors had left him, seriously wounded.
Col. Morales overlook the bandits on an
estate between Caimito and Guayabal and
attacked them There was a hot exchange
of fire, resulting in the killing of two Of the
bandits and the flight of the others Gen.
Delgado is confident that with a force of
200 Cuban soldiers he will be able either to
capture the bandits or exterminate them.
Col Morales's force continued in pursuit of
the bandits, but report comes that all
traces of them have been lost. Grave
charges are being made against Gen. Mayia
Rodriguez, the commander of the Cuban
forces in the west, who resigned Friday
1t is said that the bandits belonged to his
command, though it is not assumed that he
encouraged them. Still, his attitude of re-
volt against Gen. Gomez and Gen. Brooke
is causing some alarm, the hot-headed Gu
ban LIMOGES proclaiming him a hero.

The BubonIc Plague In India.

According to statistics gathered regard
ing the bubonic plague, it is established
that there have been 100000 deaths re-
corded in India since its beginning. These
figures, however, are undoubtedly below
the actual total, as the natives are known
to have concealed quite a number of deaths.
Bombay Presidency suffered the most, be-
ing responsible for 1874 900 deaths, with
out counting those which occurred in the
city of Bombay which, with Kurrachee,
was the chief hotbed of the disease. The
deaths in Bombay Presidency are still
about 1000 weekly. The mortality, which
was $50 daily in the city of Bombay five
weeks ago, has now sunk to 100 per day,
and the government has dropped the rig
orous reprsssive measures which it has
been found it is impossible to maintain in
definitely, in face of the fatalist resiglia-
ton of the natives. The Madras Presi-
dency is fairly free from the plague, its
climate and soil, it is supposed, being I'M
favorable to a spread of the epidemic.
Bengal Presidency has suffered to some ex-
tent, including Calcutta, but the situation
has not been grave, and the spread of the
plague is not decreasing. The Haffkine
fluid has been very successful.

that in future the silent steed viii be practically

that is required Of it, Precisely the same thing

sents the limits OF science in overcoming disease,
and 1t is impossible to make a better medicine
for the stomach liver, kidneys, and blood. A
few doses OF the bitters will start weak. nervons

regular course of treatment will bring back the
pink TO the cheeks and sparkle to the eye. Sleep

healthful. Dyspepsia, indigestion and constipa.
tion will be completely banished, and the bless

Major Duncan Ii. Harrison Has Hand
to-Hand Encounter with Him.
An interesting story reached the war de-
partment from Santiago Monday about a
hand-to-hand encounter between Major
Duncan B. Harrison of the Ninth Immunes

chief, commonly known as Trocon, or Big
Stump. Breal's gang of bandits had kill

fight which occurred two bandits were kill
ed and three wounded. The rest fled, but
Harrison and his men caught Breal and
and some others. Breal showed fight He

the ground and bound him, with the as
sistance of others. 1t was found that Har-
rison had been shot in the leg and he suf-
fered severely during the ride on a mules

having killed 103 Spaniards and several

Fishing Schooner Wrecked and ii
Lives Lost.

The fishing schooner Eliza of Beverly,
Captain Hopkins, which sailed from Hy-
annis Monday for fishing grounds, struck
on Rose and Crown Shoals early Tuesday
morning and II of the crew of IA men
were lost. The three survivors landed at
Siasconset, little fishing village on the
south side of Nantucket, in the schooner's
dory. They reported that the schooner is
a total loss. They reached Siasconset with
great difficulty. The names of the surviv-
ors are Gilbert Doane, Belver Nickerson
and George Miller. A high westerly wind
was blowing at the time of the disaster,
which occurred while most of the crew
were asleep in their hunks. The water
rushed into the vessel as soon as she struck
a big hole having been made in her bot
tom. The accident occurred SO suddenly
that there was little time for rescue.
