THOROUGHLY MIXED.
Kentucky Election Commissioners
Resipn.Stnte Offices CONTESTED.

Kentucky Election Commissioners
Resign-State Offices Contested.
Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 27.-Two mem
bers of the state board of election
commissioners have resigned. They
are the two who signed the majority
reports, which gave the certificates OF
election to the republicans. The res.
ignations further complicate the al
ready complicated situation, for every
Office in the state is contested, and
all save two must be contested before
the state board.
When the board met to canvass the
vote in the late congressional cleo
ton the resignation of Chairman
Pryor was acted upon by the other
two commissioners. Messrs. Poyntz
and Ellis, who accepted it, and elected
Judge John A. Fulton, of Bardstown,
IN his stead.
AS soon as this had been done, Com.
missioner Ellis resigned. Messrs.
Poyntz and Fulton viii receive his
resignation and elect n successor.
Governor Taylor insists that he.
and not the members of the board.
Inns the right to fill vacancies, and will
probably appoint two republicans to
the vacancies, and by injunction pro.
ceedings prevent the democratic mem.
bers from qualifying. The contest sit,
uation is, therefore, full of uncer,
tainties. State Senator Goebel, au.
thor of the law, is confident of the
right of the board to elect. its W
successors. ~

Good Advice for ttnsa Who Would
Lead Better Lives.

Lead Better Lives.
Rev. Barton o. Aylesworth: Young
man, would you swear off indeed?
Think of your mother, her white hair
and dcathless words. Think of your
stalwart father, stern, but just, and
prouder of you than any earthly fame
or name. Think of the men your sins
damn. Think of the men your good
life would redeem. You can't save the
race, a single city even, but take some
life tomorrow and make it your corr
Germ. Say to your neighbor at your
desk:
tom, old boy, you arc in trouble.
! have knownli 1t for some time. l want
TO help you. Don't be afraid of me.
Don't laugh Mt me Tell me what is
wrong. III help you bear it. I ain
no saint myself, but l mean to be IA
better man You will get him if he
is worth saving. Take IA single fam
lily of poor ones. smitten sorely this
hard winter. 1t is too late now for 4
Christmas dinner, but coal and cloth
ing and common food and an hours
chat now and then will tide them over
and saw you.
You may swear off" with oaths
unique and varied until you totter
into your grave, still swearing off,
against death and hell, but every VOW
will be broken unless you learn to
think OF God and your :ellow men.
Don't nope; don't go away alone and
think of yourself, your craving nerves,
your past sins, your blasted hopes,
your forgetful friends. your isolated
and defeated life. That is suicidal.
Don't, on the other hand, be sancti-
nomious; don't pretend; don't even
tell your friends that you have turned
over a new leaf; don't undertake too
much. You n best think of God
and men in company with those who
are thinking as you want to think.
For this end Lord established his
kingdom on earth.

PICKED TO KILL THE CAR.


Ivan Dcmiscwich, n Nihilist, Com-
mits Suicide Instead.
San Francisco. Cal, Dec. 27.-It was
brought out at the inquest over the
body of Ivan Demisewich, a Russian.
who committed suicide by taking car
bolic acid, that he killed himself be-
cause he feared he would be murdered
owing to his failure to make an at
tempt to kill the car. IT was shown
that Demisewich was a man of educa-
ton and means, owning a valuable
estate in Russia and having money Of,
deposit in New York.
Demisewich belonged to a nihilist
club that had its spies and agents in.
various parts of the world. AT a recent
session of this club lots We're drawn
to determine who should proceed to
st. Petersburg and remove the ear.
The lot fell to Demisewich and then
his blood began to cool. He feared
to go to Russia to attempt the cars
life and Mt the same time dreaded
death Mt the hands of the nihilists il
he did not do so.
Ill this dilemma he concluded to flee
and cnme here three weeks ago with
Alexander Mairot, also a Russian. Mai
rot gave most of the facts on the
stand and said that Demisewich often
spoke of suicide

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK FELT.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 27.-At 4:25
( o'clock yesterday morning a severe
earthquake shock was felt over a large
portion Of southern California. the un-
dulations lasting about twelve sec
onds. The entire center of the shock
appeared to have been in San Jacinto,
u small town in Riverside county. The
business portion of San Jacinto con-
sists of two blocks of two-story build
in2s, some of which are built Of brick.
Ten or fifteen buildings were dam
aged, chimneys being toppled over
and walls cracked and shaken. The
total damage at San Jacinto and
Hemlt, a small town near by, is esti-
mated at $4,000. The large tourist
hotel at Hemit was damaged, and the
hospital at San Jacinto also suffered.
The only loss of life so far as known
was Mt the Saboba IndianSreservation,
where six squaws were killed by fall
ing walls. A number of Indians were
seriously injured. The shock was
heavy at Santa Ana, Anheim. San Ber-
nardino, Riverside and other places,
but no particular damage is reported
except that from San Jacinto and
Hemit. I
In this city no damage was done.
though the shock was particularly vio.
lent. The houses here are well filed
with eastern tourists and they were
in many instances terrified at the i
expected disturbances, and rushed

NOR was to the effect that six Indians
had been killed at the same place, but
fortunately there was no truth in
these rumors of the loss of life.
San Jacinto. Cal, Dec. 27.-A disas.
trous earthquake occurred ats4:25 yes.

estimated that the damage will aggra-
gate over $4,000. The main shock
was preceded by n loud, roaring sound
and awakened many just in time &c

The business street WAS such a wreck
that tons of debris had to be removed
before buildings could be entered.
At Saboba Indian reservation six

The shock caused dry artesian wells

British Cavalry Suffering Severely
South African Miscellany.
London, Dec. 2T.-Reports from
South Africa are TO the effect that 400
British cavalry horses have already
been shot owing to the occurrence of
CHAMBERS. The disease is likely to
spread with much greater rapidity
among the British forces than among
the hardy Boer ponies, and this may
mean a considerable prolongation of
the campaign. Horse sickness in
South Africa generally appears DUR
ing the latter part of January and
lasts three months. The present out
break is unusually early.
A dispatch from Chieve1y, dated
Tuesday. December ~, says: "The
British naval guns have destroyed the
Colenso foot bridge, thus preventing
the Beers from holding any position
south of the .Tugela river. The enemy
are taking up fresh positions on the
eastern side, nearer the British camp.
The British position at Frere is be-
inc. strengthened. The Tugeln river
is rising and there is a prospect of
heavy rains.

Despite the severity of the censor
ship, hints are being continually re-
ccived of the serious spread of Dutch
d~isatfection in both the Queenstown
district Of Cape Colony and Natal. A
correspondent of the Daily Mail at
Pietermaritzburg says:
THE extent of Dutch affection
should make the imperial authorities
realize the magnitude of the task be-
fore them"
There are unconfirmed reports from
Cape Town that General Sir Charles
Warren, commanding the fifth divis-
ion, has returned there. Commandment
Demillon, who was taken prisoner at
Elandslaagte and brought to Simons-
town, where he was confined on the
British cruiser Penelope, has succeed
ed in making his escape.
The Times makes the following an
nouncement: 1--WE are Informed that
the government has decided that it is
not desirable to make further de-
mands upon the European garrison in
India unless unforeseen difficulties
arise"
An undated Photograph dispatch
from Ladysmith, by way of PETER

as in no way dannted by General Bull
er's reverse at Colenso, and as conf
dent of being able to hold out indetin-
itely.

its correspondent.
Chievely Camp, Dec. t9.--A heavier
boI1bardment of Ladysmith was car
ried on from Mount Bnlwa1l this
morning than usual forever an hour.
The Beers fired their big gun at free
quent intervals. Our lyddite shells
rakedEthe Boer trenches aud works at
3Colenso for two hours. Among other
things they destroyed a roadway
bridge, so that the Beers on this side
of theSriver, with their wagons and
guns, will find it difficult task to re-
cross.
There were rainstorms last night
and today. The water question is
therefore solving itself in n satisfac-
tory manner. The health and spirits
of the troops are excellent, and the
wounded r reported as doing well.
The Daily Mail correspondent at
DISCRIMINATING sends the following:
Pietermaritzburg, Dec. 19.-There is
an impression here that Sir Redvers
Butler will not move again until the
howitzcr batteries arrive and also
field batteries to replace the two lost.
Meantime the general has comman-
Ideered an ambulance corps and home
guards have been sent to the front.
Several foreign attaches have arrived,
A Scotch doctor, Communicated by
Beers, told one of our ambulance men
that the Boer loss was three times
greater than ours.
Chieyely Camp, Dec. 19.-From re-
liable native sources i learn that the
enemy's losses OH Friday were fully
200 killed, the wounded being few. AS
all their loss was probably due to lyd-
dite this disapproves the currently ac-

is satisfactory. One of the enemy's
