Captain Delaney discovered the women on

in a surface car when he overheard the
women telling of their recent coming to this
city. They used so many expressions pc
culiar to- the criminal class that he followed
them to Sheir boarding house. He had the
house watched until today, when he and flve
other officers surrounded the house and ar
rested the three women. In searching their
rooms, the police found brass knuckles, a
revolver and a large number of pawn tick
cts ranging in sums from $40 to $50. The
latter were for diamonds, rings, watches,
gold and silver plate. A bottle or knock
out drops" was also found.

vent his prosecution If possible. She be-
came known to the police here and it was
learned that her associates were all crooks
and that she was a clever pickpocket. She
went to Sioux Falls and came back with a
big roll of money, part of which she used
to persuade the victim OF her husband $
game to leave the city and not prosecute,
and also bribed the jury. She threw her
arms around the neck of the unsophsticated
young man and her beauty and her cash de-
termlned him to depart and he did So When

CLOSE CONTEST IN KENTUCKY
Second Week of Count is Begun and
the Future Governor is Still
Subject of Dispute.

| LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 12.-The second
| week CT uncertainty regarding the result of
the balloting for governor of Kentucky be-
gins with little prospect of immediate relief.
The official count has been in progress two
days and from a majority Of the 119 coun
ties has narrowed the contest down to a nose
finish. Both sides claim the election of lis
ticket, but the estimated plurality of either
does not exceed 5000. While the estimates
so far received favor Taylor, the result may
hinge on the decision given by the county
election commissioners in several places
where charges Of Irregularities are made.
One Of these contests, that in Nelson county,
has been decided adversely to the repub-
| licans. 1t involves 1,118 votes. nearly as
many as either side claims as it's plurality.
The democrats will contest the votes of
some Of the mountain counties which return
large republican pluralties. The most i'm
portant county involved is Knox, which gave
Taylor 1898 plurality. There are also con-
tests in three precincts in Louisville which
went republican. In any event it is difficult
to see how bitter contest before the legs-
lature and the courts be avoided. All
the contests now being considered will have
to be argued before the State Board of Eec-
ton Commissioners. which must meet at
Frankfort within a month. Both sides are
preparing for this with all the legal talent
at their command. Meanwhile. everything
hangs on the official count, which will con-
sumo large portion of the week in jefferson
county Uouisville). The work is especially
slow. Only one ward has been completed
in the two days work.
The Commercial tomorrow will print a
statement from Chairman George w. Lang
of the republican campaign committee,
claiming plurality of 3,111 votes for Taylor.
These figures are based on the official returns
of 10 county election boards. upon returns
signed by the precinct election officers in
eight counties, more counties in which the
county boards have not furnished tabulation
and upon returns in one county in which
the election officers refuse to certify to the
returns
The 40 counties giving official returns
show pluralities OF 27 l21 for Taylor and 90
3O5 for Goebel. a net plurality of 2,1S4 for
Goebel. In the eight counties not yet can
vassed pluralites are shown amounting TO
6,424 for Taylor and 1888 for Goebel The
committee claims that these returns have
been certified to by the precinct election off,
icers and need only to be tabulated In the
remaining county, Lewis there is a plural
ity of 7O4 for Taylor but the election ofh-
GERS boldly refuse to obey the law by GER
tifyng to their returns.
The Courier Journal will print a state
ment from Mr.. Goobel at Frankfort declar-
ing there Is no doubt of his election, but
giving no figures, the announcement being
made that no returns have been received
since last night, when Goebel's plurality was
figured at 155.

man Of wars men to take him. The sailors,
under orders of their officers, fusiladed the
vessel for five hours. during which time, it
is said 500 shots were fired. The mate was
killed at last, having been shot several
times. During the firing the crew jumped

wars men.
Before the Trunkby left Santa Cruz the
bark was towed up to a berth near the
steamer and remained there with a crew of
man of wars men in charge The bark was
held as a pirate, but under protest from the
Brazilian consul.
The bark had previously hailed from
Oporto, Portugal. which name had been
painted out, There is no such name as
Jullana Schooner in Lloyds' directory. There
is bark Julia III of Oporto and it is prob
able the murderer had changed the name and

HAVANA, Nov. 12.-The local newspapers
object to the criticisms made by some Amer

They point out that after mass on Sunday
all Latin countries take holiday, and assert
that If the Americans wish the Cubans TO
popularize the sport as a substitute for bull
fighting, Sundays must be devoted to it, be-
cause saints days are kept strictly for re-
ligous observance and at no other times arc
there great numbers OF Cubans wealthy
enough to forsake business for the sake OF
pleasure.

American officers in Cuba to continue TO
patronze a noble sport. says
when 1000 people brave the prospects of
a rain such as was before us on last racing
day, among them the very best people of
Havana, their course is of sufficient proof
that the attitude of the American officers is
heartily endorsed by our representative So
