Action of the Court of Appeals, Renew.
ed Confidence of Democrats.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 15.-Judge Ster-
ling +. Toney whose mandamus issued
ON election day for the admission OF
Honest Election League inspectors to
polling places caused the principal ex-
citement Of that day, was today re-
strained by the Appellate Court at
Frankfort from taking any further ac-
.tion in the contempt cases growing out
of the order Yesterday thirty-ive al
legged violators of Judge Toney's or
der were bound over by him in the
sum of $500 each. Today he was pro-
ceeding with the cases and had sentenced
one prisoner to thirty hours in jail.
when the order of the Appellate Court
was received.
Goebel gained - votes this afternoon
on the official count of the returns from
this city. 1t was in the first precinct
of the eighth ward Aside from this
there was no change anywhere IN the
State today. 1t is thought the canvass
ing of the Jefferson county vote will be
completed in a few days. Then the
whole question will be put before the
State board which will meet at Frank
fort some time between now and De-
cember 4th
One vote is the plurality credited 10
Goebel in the State by the Courie.~
Journal in it's table of election returns
corrected mp to a late hour last night.

DEMOCRATIC CONFIDENCE.
Frankfort, KY, Nov. 15.-It is conce-
ded here that the Kentucky election will
remain a tangle until the meeting Of the
State Election Commissioners. the date
of which has not been set but which
will occur in the last week of this month.
County election commissioners in Knox
county who certified to the vote in that
county will file a supplemental state
ment with the State board, stating that
fraud and intimidation were practieed
by the Republicans in every precinct and
that the county commissioners We're
overawed and forced by mob of drunk
en- men to certify the vote and will con-
clude by recommending that the entire
vote be thrown out. General Taylor
received 1,oS4 majority III KNOX county.
There is renewed confidence around
the GOebel headquarters tonight prob
ably as a result of the decision of the
Court of Appeals today dealing an un-
expected blow to the Republicans by a
ruling which practically decides adverse
ly in advance the mandamus suits filed
by Taylors attorneys in several cOun-
ties to compel the county election com
missioners to certify the vote. 1t is prob
able now that the Jefferson board, which
includes Louisville, will proceed to
throw ont several precincts in that city
contested on grounds of fraud, espe-
cially where the State militia were pres.
ent or near the polls on election day.
II is claimed here tonight that Taylor's
1900 plurality in the city of Louisville
may now be almost wiped out.

who work or who are detained up or down
town until the small hours of the morning
and reside at remote points in the city.
Among this class are newspaper men,
telegraphers, mail handlers, printers,
stenographers, night clerks, and many
mechanics, laborers, and night watchmen.
When Congress is in session that body, its
committees, its clerks, and other attaches,
with the newspaper men and visitors, are
not iafrequently detained at the Capitol
until after the cars cease running with no
convenient or available vehicle of convey
ance to their hotels or homes.
The Pennsylvania Avenue line some
years ago experimental with all night cars
and speedily withdrew them with the ex-
cuse that they did not pay. Mr.. Dinsmore
holds, nevertheless, that the night service
is part of the accommodation the railway
company owes the public in return for their
valuable street franchises and he points to
the prevailing limited all-night service of
the street-car lines in other large cities.
The second regulation, ii is thought, will
effectually check the abuse of rushing cars
past passengers when they are behind time,
or slowing them up just sufficiently for
man TO jump or swing himself on. Mr.. Dins-
more says many painful accidents occur
through this ineXcusable haste by the mis-
| step OF passengers while the cars are in
motion. Il met with one of these accidents
myself last spring." said Mr.. Dinsmore 10
a Times reporter, "and badly sprained an
ankle and have not forgotten it. / want to
see these measures adopted for the benefit
/ of others TO accommodate the public and
/ minimize the chances of injury to passen-
gers"
! There have been many bills for the regu-
! lation of street railroads introduced in Con-
gress, but they have not been pushed along
! because of a lack of interest in them. But
every time Congress has entertained bills
| of the nature of the one introduced by Mr..
| Dinsmore the reforms contemplated have
come to pass, sometimes before the bill be-
came a law.
Mr.. Dinsmore says his bill will appeal to
| the good judgment and sympathy of every
member of Congress and will become pop
ular with ell classes of citizens. The only
objections will come from the railway COM
l panies themselves. They have claimed that
( chinery in perpetual motion and increase
| the chances of a breakdown through the
| busy portions of the day.
This objection is offset by the argument
| that a few horse cars might be kept on
hand and substituted for the motor cars
when it is necessary to shut down the
| generating machinery early in the morn
ing.
The last cars on the principal roads pass
the centre of the city at Ills a. M, after
! having left each terminus about the hour
of 1. The cars are seen no more until
about 430 a. m. on week days and 5:45
a. m. on Sundays.

ters bill in equity against their brother,
Armstead Taylor. The bill asks partition
Of real estate in Anacostia, and alleges a
curious state Of things. arising from a
father and son having the same Christian
name.
1t appears that the father, Armstead Tay-
lor died intestate in 1889, having about
$4,000 of property. His wife died shortly
after. When the son, Armstead Taylor, jr.,
became of age, he, of course, dropped the
junior after his name. The bill then al
leges that in securing loan of 81 ,000 from
a building association, he represented
himself as the sole owner OF the property,
whereas he had but a sixth undivided
interest to dispose Of The abstract of
title showed the property to be in Arm
stead Taylor, and so the building associa-
tion promptly made the loan. Afterward
it was realized that man thirty odd years
Of age could not have been decided property
in 1S4s-over fifty years ago, and about

the bill asks cancellation of the deed of
