longer a factor in politics. The
Prohibitionists cast a smaller vote
every year. The conditions are
far better than in 1897 when the
state went Democratic by $4,000.
This year Goebel's majority will
not be a vote less than $4,000. In a
contest between Gov. Brown and
the Democratic party, the man and
not the party will be destroyed. AS
common bolter he will sink at
once to the level of Lindsay and
Buckner.
All bolters look alike to those
who are tired of Republican misrule
in Kentucky. Fall in, boys. Eyes
front. Forward to victory. Never
mind the Has Beens.

nounced his opinion in the case of Lily
Alys Godfrey against Stephen A. Dutton
and Cora NJ. Dutton, his wife: Louis w
Richardson, Fred VI. Czaki, Mary Alice
Godfrey, Brainard H. Warner and Louis

spread attention and is connected with the
fraudulent dealings of Dutton, for which
he is now undergoing imprisonment in the
Sing Sing penitentiary.
The opinion of Justice Hagner was most
exhaustive, and its delivery occupied more
than an hour. Justice Hagner took occa-
sion to clear Mr.. B. II. Warner and Mr.
Louis d. Wine of this city of all charges
OF fraud In connection with the matter In

Declares He Has Never Sold the st
Louis Club.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, January 1S.-The case of
the Mississippi Valley Trust Company agt
the Sportsman's Park and Club came up for
final hearing in Judge Spencer's division
of the circuit court today.
Chris Won der Abe took the stand and
told how he had organized the Sportsman's
Park and Club in 1881. That same year the
St. Louis Base Ball Associa ton, a co-opera-
tive organization, was gotten up for the
purpose of operating a base bail team, call
ed the ST. Louis Browns
This organization, Won der Abe testified
played games on the grounds owned by the
SpOrtsmans Park and Club, and received
30 per cent of the gross gate receipts for
its work.
When the original manager of the St.
Louis Base Ball Association resigned the
ball club was turned over to Won der Abe,
and he has been running it ever since separ-
ate from the SportSman's Park and Club.
Won der Abe testified that he had always
owned the st. Louis franchise in the Ma
tiCnal League. having never transferred it
either verbally or III writing to any one.
MIR. Won d,.i Ahe's testimony took up the
courts time until noon, when his cross
examination began. The case will come to
an end, in so far as the trial is concerned
this afternoon. \ decision is not looked for
for several days.

HAS LEFT THE SERVICE.
Lieut.. Commander Harris HOnorabIy
Discharged.

Lieutenant Commander 1. Harris, who
was in command Of the Inflated expedition
which resulted in the loss of the Spanish
cruiser Maria Teresa on Cat Island, was
today honorably discharged from the naval
service of the United States. This action
involves no reflection whatever upon the
character or service of Commander Harris,
but is simply one of the natural results of
the practical conclusion of peace.
Commander Harris, who was formerly in
the navy, volunteered for service during
the war with Spain and was appointed lieu
tenant commander with that understand
ing. Now that there is no longer need of
the services of the volunteers they are be-
ing gradually discharged from the service
The abandonment of the Maria Teresa dur
ing the progress of storm off the coast of
Hatteras was officially investigated by a
naval court of inquiry, and Commander
Harris was exonerated from blame in the
matter. He had command of the Vulcan at
the time, and was engaged in conveying the
Spanish warship from Santiago to Norfolk

a return OF confidence. and buying. in most
stocks. was invariably superior TO the SELL
ing London houses sold again at the open
ing of our market. but later local houses
| freely absorbed all that the foreign traders
were disposed TO sell. Whatever of a reac-
ton me market has had on the previous
days of the week IS seemingly ample for an
purposes of counteracting dangerous symp-
toms.
The demand for Chicago. Burlington and
quincy was OF the best sort and served to
stimulate the demand in all parts Of the
list. An advance OF more than 1 Der cent
was recorded during the morning the
movement being accompanied by rumors of
most satisfactory refunding scheme. The
company has an issue OF about So OeO 600
per cent bonds due IN 1888, and certain
other branch line issues IN which II has
contingent liabilities, maturing at an early
date
The refunding scheme might easily b.
made to cover more than Sy0.op0VO0 and
to save at least per cent in Interest This
saving would amount TO a considerable in
crease In the disbursem ents 90 sharehold-
ers, and higher prices for the stock are
entirely logical in consequence
Inc present sinking fund arrangement
has been maintained and the surplus after
that of properties making as such proyis-
IONS Tor its outstanding debts. With large
blocks OF the stock being taken out Of
speculative channels, it would seem to be
within reasonable expectation to gee Bur
llngton become purely investment prop
erty at higher prices
The buying Of st. Paul and Rock Island
was extremely good and both issues are
being taken in anticipation of higher prices
as the outcome OF a prolonged period OF
activity in commercial circles
A strong demand for Manhattan and good
buying Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit were
noted among the more significant develop
ments OF the day.
The latter stock is said to be preparing
for a substantial advance as the result Of a
pretty general absorption of the floating
supply.
American Sugar gave evidences Of a con-
certed movement early in the day and sub
Sequently confirmed seni-positfve asslIr-
anCes of an advance.
The buying of the stock halted for a
moment at 1870 owing to an offering OF a
large block Of stock at that price Over
900 shares wcre taken in few transao-
lions, however. and the price was imme-
diately marked up fractionally In all
parts of the market prices responded easily
to the demand. and the figures of the last
hour. in many instances. were tho hlghest
recorded on the recent advance.

McGLEARH BILL SHELVED.
Motion to Report 1t Tabled by the
Committee.

The House committee banking and
currency definitely decided today to make
no further effort at this session to urge
the measure for currency and banking re-
vision, known as the McCieary bill.
At the meeting today Mr.. Mitchell of New
York moved to formally report the bill to
the House. This action was tabled, Z to !,
which was accepted as decisive that no
further action on the general measure
would be taken. The committee then con-
sidered two other bills that of Mr.. Mitch
ell for establishing currency and redemp-
ton division of the treasury, and that of
Mr.. Brosius of Pennsylvania embodying
the President currency recommendations
but final action was not reached.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
The House, under special order adopted
last week. devoted today to the considera-

on interstate and foreign commerce.
The first bill called up authorized the
construction and equipment of light YES

The limit of cost is to be $40, 900. The bill
was passed.

A bill was passed to establish depot for
the sixth light house district, with an APP
preparation of S:5, 900 therefor. During the
consideration of a bill to establish light
and fog signal station a Hog Island shoals,
Narragansett Bay, r. L., there was sharp
passage between Mr.. Hepburn, chairman
of the interstate commerce committee, and
Mr.. Cannon. chairman of the appropria-
lions committee.
The latter INDUCED in some rather sharp
criticism of the showing upon which the
bill was presented.
Mr.. Hepburn resented this and scored
the chairman of the appropriations COM

He charged him with gratuitously insult
ing members OF other committees who re-
ported bills carrying appropriations, and
said the country held him responsible for
the "cheeseparing' policy the government
pursued which left the country unprepared
when the war with Spain occurred. Even
the hdsty appropriation of $JO.0OO,0O0 just
before war was declared, he said. only par
TALLY repaired the condition in which we
found ourselves as result of this policy.
MIR. Cannon ArOuses Cheers.
Mr.. Cannon, in defense of his own
course. made a reply which evoked cheers
and applause from both sides of the
House. He referred TO his long service in
the House on the committee on appropria
lions. He had always looked conscien-
tiously to the best interests of the govern
ment He had erred frequently perhaps in
the light of subsequent events, but he had
always acted honestly with the light he
had at the time.
He spoke of the way Congress had been
compelled to feel its way in building up the
new navy. The result of the war, he said,
had magniicently and splendidly indicated
its course.
He had nothing to apologize for in this
respect nor in any other, and he should
continue to do his duty as he saw it. ire

gentleman from Iowa.
