KENTUCKY. ELECTION.


Louisville, Nov. 90. The county board
of canvassers adjourned late Monday
afternoon until tomorrow, after having
completed the official count Of the bull
lots cast Nov. 7. The city and county
give Taylor plurality of 94l3
The work of the board Monday was
the consideration OF ten contested pre-
cincts in various parts Of the city which
had been passed as the count progressed
Five of these were thrown out and five
were counted This resulted in a gain
of two members in the legislature by
the Democrats The legislative result
in the county now stands one R4pnti-
can senator. five Repnblicl and three
Democratic representatives.
When the county board meets again
1t will hear arguments on the motion,
notice of which was given several days
ago by counsel for the Democratic can
didates, to throw out the vote Of Jehier-
son county because OF alleged intiInida-
ton by the state militia.
Democratic newspapers figures now
give Taylor plurality of nearly 1000
in the state. They show that 24S0 votes
are in contest and that Goebel has a
plurality of 937 on the uncontested
votes.
The Democratic state campaign com
mittee comedies that Taylor has a ma
jority on the face of the returns, but
bases hope of the election of the Dem
ocratic ticket on throwing out the vote
of Louisville on account of the alleged
interference of the state militia and OF
johnson and Knox counties where it is
charged tissue ballots were issued. The
kentucky election law plainly provides
for secret ballot and The Republicans
admit that they are not as well fortified
in the defense of their interests in the
johnson and Knox county cases as
might be, but do not credit to any ex-
tent the Democratic claim regarding
Louisville. In fact, they assert that
should Louisville be thrown out on the
pretext claimed, they have tine assur-
ance that Governor Bradley will back
them up in resistance which they say is
already planned
The Goebtl managers announce they
will not take an appeal from the decis
ion Of Judge Jones at Glasgow, where
1898 Nelson county votes enormously
certified for w. p Taylor were ordered
counted for w. s. Taylor.

at intervals during the forenoon. The
county court adjourned in token of
respect to the dead vice president. AL
though the vice presidents death had
been expected at any time, there were
still faint hopes up to the last among
his personal friends that he would sur
vive some time to come. Persons who
are neighbors and life long friends of
the vice president, are deeply affected
over his death.
Soon after the news of Mr.. Hobarts
death was sent over the wires, kilograms

sympathy and coincidence to Mrs Hobart
was President and Mrs. Mckinley.

GLOOM AT WASHINGTON.



Washington, Nov 22--All flags in
Washington are half masted out OF re-
spect to the memory of Vice Presi-
dent Hobart. The announcement of his
death. while not unexpected, came as q
distinct shock and cast deep gloom
over the city, where he was loved and
honored. The news was first received
at the White House ina private message
from Paterson The flag over the execu-
tive mansion was Immediately hauled
,own to half mast and the doors of the
mansion were closed to the pubic. The
president was deeply affected by the tele-
gram announcing his colleagues death
and at once dispatched a telegram cen
veying sympathy and consolation Of
himself and Mrs. Mckinley to Mrs. Ho-
bart In the meantime the sad intelli-
gence had been bulletined by all the
newspaper Offices and the whole city
was soon mourning the loss of the vice
president.

the succession to the vice presidency now
falls, heard the news upon his arrival

REMARKABLE CASE.
Death Penalty Given Negro While An
other Case Was Progressing.


Greenyille, Tex, Nov 1S.--The jury
in the case of Bob Mckinney came in
with verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree and assessing the death
penalty. Mckinney was ON trial at the
time for the second murder when the
FIST jury came in. Judge Templeton
sent the second jury out while the YER
dict was read. Attorneys here of years
practice say they never saw this happen
before. that man should be on trial
for his life and be found guilty at the
same time of murder, and have two
juries holding his life in their hands.
Mckinney did not testify in the first
case, but in the second took the stand
and said he loved the woman he shot
and was jealous of the men, so he de-
termined that if he could not have her
no one should. He has a wife living
here.
The jury in the second case also re-
turned death penalty.

After the German emperor left Con-

returning to his palace escorted by his
troops, when a man broke through the
line and placed large linen bundle
in the carriage at the sultan's feet
There was a tremendous excitement,
Of course, and a courageous officer
lifted the supposed internal machine
out Of the carriage. At this moment
the mass Of linen began to move. and
instead Of explosives a crying baby
proved to be the contents of the par
eel The man who placed 1t there
gave himself up to the police, and
stated that he was an Official who had
not received any salary for months
and being no longer able to maintain
himself, wished to at least save the
child from starvation. The sultan,
instead Of being offended, gave orders
for the man to be paid at once the sum
owing to him, while the child was

James Lenox, the founder Of the
famous Lenox library Of New York
city, was a man Of many attachments
and a few eccen tricities, chief among
which was a disposition to be rigidly
particular about whom he allowed to
inspect his library before he presented
il to the city. In one notable instance
at least, this appears to have been
within, for it is said that Mr.. Lenox re-
fused to permit Lord Duferin, q
scholar, a distinguished diplOmatist
and a man Of irreproacha6le charac-
ter, to see his books On another Oc-
casion, so an amusing story runs, a

who was then at the height of his

sent in his card, with request that
he might be allowed to see his rare
books. 'tBeecher, Beecher," said Mr..
