HOT TIMES IN OLD KENTUCKY.
TAYLOR CONCEDED A MAJORITY
ON FACE OF RETURNS.

But Democrats Hope to Wipe Out the
Vote in LouIsviIIe-RepubIIc
Admit They Are Weak in johnson
and Knox Counties-FInaI Result
Seems to Depend ON Louisville.
BradIey's Position Is Ominous for
the Democrats.
Frankfort Ky, Nov. 20.-The Democratic
State Campaign Committee comedies that
Taylor has a majority on the face OF the
returns, but bases a hope of the election
OF the Democratic ticket on throwing out
the vote of Louisville on account of the
interference of Gov. Bradley's soldiers,
and Johnson and Knox counties, where
tissue ballots were used
The Kentucky election law plainly pro-
vides for a secret ballot and the Republi-
cans admit they are not as well fortified
IN the defense of their interests in the
johnson and Knox counties cases as
might be, but do not credit to any extent
the Democratic claim regarding Louisville.
In fact, they assert that they have assur-
ances that Gov Bradley viii back them
In resistance, which they say is already
fully planned.
Goebel managers announce they will not
take an appeal from the decision of Judge
Jones at Glasgow, where 1,1S3 majority of
the Nelson county votes enormously cer-
tilted for w. =. Taylor, were ordered
counted for w. S. Taylor.
In this state of the case the vote of
Jefferson, Knox and Johnson counties
must be wiped out to give Goebel ma
jorlty, but his managers, II is believed
are collecting evidence OF alleged fraud
in various Republican counties, and will
ask the State Election Board TO throw out
these counties.
Senator Deboe came back tonight, and
Is supposed to be In direct communication
with Gov. Bradley, though he did not visit
the executive office.

OmclaI Count Gives Taylor n PIu-
raIity of 3,143 Votes.
Louisville, Nov. 2O.-The County Board
of Canvassers adjourned late this after
noon until Wednesday, after having com
pleted the official count of the ballots cast
Nov. T.
The city and county give Taylor a plu-
rality OF SAB.
The work OF the board to-day was the
consideration Of the contested precincts
in various parts of the city, which had
been passed as the count progressed. Five
Of these were thrown out and Ave were
counted This resulted In a gain of two
members of the Legislature by the Demo-
Gratis. The legislative result in the coun-
ty now stands one Republican senator and
FIVE Republican and three Democratic rep
resentatives.
When the county board meets II will
hear argument on the motion, notice of
which was given several days ago by
counsel for the Democratic candidate, to
throw out the vote of Jefferson county be-
cause OF alleged intimidation by the state
militia.
Democratic newspaper figures now give
Taylor a plurality of nearly 1000 on the
state They show that 2,4s9 votes are in
contest and that Goebel has a plurality
OF 937 on the uncontested votes.

REINFoRCEMENTs FOR BoERs.
Invasion of Cape Colony Continues
Steadily and Rapidly.

London, Nov. 21, a. m.-The reports Of
heavy fighting at Ladysmith last Wednes-
day have not been confirmed. On the con-
trary the most reliable advices from Est
court Indicate that there was nothing more
than desultory canonade.
Probably the rumor of a serious engage
ment grew out of The fact that the Beers
threw few harmless shells late Tuesday
night, leading to the suppostion that an
attack was imminent. Nothing, however,
happened Wednesday.
Beyond the fact that the Beers are daily
receiving fresh reinforcements and sup
piles there is practically nothing new from
the front
The Boer invasion of Cape Colony con-
tinues steadily and rapidly. There are l.
300 Beers at Cofesburg and news has
reached East London that Lady Grey, near
Aliwal North. has been deserted by the
British and is now in the hands of the
enemy.
A Pretoria dispatch announces the ar
rival there among the British prisoners of
Maj. Haldane, Lieut.. Brochie and Lieut..
Hallway. 1t also declares that the Brit
ish on Sunday made two unsuccessful at
tempts TO oust the Sustenberg command
from position near Mafeking, and that
severe fighting took place.
From Delagoa bay comes the reports of
more German officers and artillery who
have volunteered to serve with the Trans
Vaal forces.
The war office semi-officially asserts that
all news received from Africa has been
published with the exception of demands
for the renewal of stores, war material
and the like. There is an unconfrmed ru-
NOR that more troops have been ordered
from India to the Cape.
Gen. Butler has wired the commanding
officer 1t Queenstown, announcing the dis
patch of Gen. Gatacre with the first bat
TALON of the Seventh Brigade, to East
London. This was the place from which
it was originally intended that Gen. Cat
acres column should start. Thus II Is
possible that Gen. Buffers first plans
have suffered less modification than some
have supposed.

The. effect of the shooting Is not known,
but the sherifr says he saw ono man car

Collins attempted to ASSAULT Miss MIN
ME Kirius, who lives near the Porter

men, presumably from the Porterdale
mills, came into Covington with the in

deputies armed with Wlnchesters, inside
the jail.
The leader of The mob, on hating before
the jail, demanded the keys. This was re-
fused, the sher.ff's verdict in the matter
being greeted by volley OF shots from hia
unwelcome visitors.

HAS CAUSED ANOTHER DEATH.
Unknown Tramp Shot by Party De-
Tending FleminR's House.


Norfolk, Va, Nov. 2O.--Oscar C. Fiem-
ing, the Princess Anne county magistrate,
who last Thursday shot and killed young
Clarence l.. Snyder, while the latter, ac-
companied by friend, was returning TO
this city from hunt, this morning took
another human life.
Threats to lynch Fleming have been so
numerous that he has turned his house
into an arsenal, and every night friends
stay there with him. Sunday night mob
proceeded to his place from, this city, with
the intention, presumably, of wreaking
vengeance upon him.
The visiting party was composed of about
iifty men, who quietly took a position be-
hind an out-buildng in the yard and wait
ed for Fleming to appear. Al O'clock
this morning a shot rang out sharply on
the frosty air. and was followed by sew
eral hundred from the other side OF the
residence, which was punctured both In
side and out by bullets. None of the in
mates were injured.
After the smoke of battle cleared away
Fleming emerged TO find man dead IN
his yard. Nothing was seen or heard OF
the attacking party which had departed.
When day broke neighbors gathered and
a coroners jury was empanneled and am
inquest held. The man had been shot from
a second story porch and death was in
stantaneous. He was sockless, shirtless.
about 45 years old, and evidently a stran-
ger. Among the large number of people
who viewed the body not one person had
ever seen the stranger.
The theory Is that this man was a
tramp who seeing lights In the window
of the Fleming mousse, was approaching
through the yard 70 solicit assistance.
when shot by a watcher from the upper
porch and the mob on the other side OF
the house believing it had been discover
ed and fired upon, opened a fusillade and
then ran away.
Public opinion exonerates Fleming from
blame In defending his home, but should
1t develop that the stranger was not one
OF the mob. he viii have intensified the
bitter feeling against him in consequences
Of the killing Of Snyder, which is pro-
nounced cold-booded murder.
It is rumored that a large number oe
Snyders friends have registered a vow
against Fleming, and a report at any tifna
that he had been killed would not Gauss
surprise.
