and w. H. Cook. impersonated election
officers in the thirteenth division Of the

Rodgers and Meeser we're implicated
and warrants were issued for their ar
rest. They surrendered voluntarily.
AT to-day's hearing Rodgers said his

have charge of the distribution of the
blanks and ballots to the officials. He
testified that on the night before cleo
ton Deputy Coroner Salter secured the
ballots for the thirteenth division OF the
Seventh ward. The judge Of the cleo
tlon is the only person authorized to do
this, but Mr.. Richmond said that al
though Salter did not hold that office, he

by poison of Katherin ], Adams, have
been obtained 1t took nearly the en-
tire third day of the trial to accomplish

Post, recently retired from the contec-
tIonery business. He is married.
Mr.. Martin took his seat in the jury
box at fifteen minutes after 12 o'clock
to-day. He was the fifty-fifth tales
man examined since the beginning Of
the trial or the dozen candidates for
positions on the jury in the Molineux
case to-day, 1t Is Interesting to note that
seven were excused because they had
conscientious scruples upon the subject
OF capital punishment, three were dis
qualified because OF lack Of general In
formation or inability To speak Englilh
perfectly, one because he had compune~
tlons OF conscience concerning the sub
feet of cIrcumstantiRl evidence and one
because his duties as a policeman erti-
tied him to be excused. The trial Will
be resumed tomorrow.

,upe steadfastly pursues British em-
rl,vment Of armored trains. the fascin-
alton for which has given the Beers
their first and last victories. On this
last occasion the British seem to have
walked into a deliberate trap, with the
result that, according to the best ac-
counts, ninety men are either killed,
wounded or missing, OF these the Fus-
,lers claim nifty and the Durham lnfan-
try forty. It Is believed that few es-
caped and that the others are prisoners
IN the hands Of the Beers. Many OF the
wounded we're brough: back on the
locomotive and tender Of the armored
train. CAPTAIN Haldane, OF the Gordon
Hlghlanders. was attached to the F'usi-
IIers and other officers were with them.
The list of casualties Is waited with
great anxiety. In time OF trouble Lieu
tenant Winston Churchill has proved
himself more a soldier than cores
pondent and his gallantry is highly
praised on all sides.
The rumor of the death OF General
Joubert is discredited. 1t is understood
that the war office has news that he Is
still directing affairs. It is also rumor.

Mix-up-Both Sides Confident.
FRANKFORT. KY, Nov. 1s.-Gover-
nor Bradley has the members of both
parties guessing what hand he will take
in the event of collision between Goe-
bel ana Taylor over the gOvernorship.
Bradley's close friends say he will not
recognize Goebel as governor IL the
state board goes behind the original re-
turns in order to obtain for him GER
titicate OF election. The governor him
self will not talk, but he has been in
conference with Adjutany General Col
lIer almost constantly. rumOrs of this
kind are worrying the Democrats lead
ers. No governor will be lnaugurated
December 70, the prescribed by law. The
state election commission has not been
convened to canvass the returns. The
law provides that Il mus meet not later
than December !.
Secretary of State Finley has received
official returns from fifty counties and Is
tabulatIng them for the state election
board. Candidates for minor state Of
fees on both sides fear that the returns
may show the head Of one ticket elected
with candidates on the other ticket far
Ing likewise. While GOebel carries
Campbell county, Burke, Republican,
for superintendent OF public instruction.
carries the same by over 1000. Goebel
managers assert that the whole Goebe!
ticket will win. The report to-day that
Chairman Pryor OF the state election
commission, would resign because Of
dissatisfaction over the Goebel county
commissioners Is denied by Pryor.
FRANKFORT. KY Nov. l6-sena-
tor Deboe arrived here tonight and is
looking after some Of Taylor's interests.
In an Interview he said:
Taylor has been elected and he will
be seated. The people VIII stand no
usurpatIop from the state election
board or anybody else. don't think
the board will have the audaclty to
issue Goebel certificate Of election,
but II It does. the people will not submit
to him and Taylor Will be seated"
