X Kentucky Board of Elections VIII
Then Give Decision.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. THE de-
c;sion of the state board of election com
m1ssioners, covering the gubernatorial
contest, will be handed down on Saturday
morning. The strong probability is that
certificates of election will be given 70
William s. Taylor, the Republican candi-
GATE for governor, and to the Republican
candidates for the other offices on the
state ticket. The vote will probably be
two for the Republican and one for the
Democratic state ticket
1t was thought that when the board
adjourned at noon, after the conclusion
OF Judge Hargis' argument that two of
the members OF the board had practically
decided to vote for Taylor, and that thew
wished to spend the time between the
adjournment of court and the time set
for the reading Of the opinion in prepar-
ing syllabus Of the decision they had
decided to render.
The three members Of the commission
have been placed In a most unenviable
position. Their best friends, even their
relatives. have pleaded with them on both
sides Of the question, some for Taylor.
some for Goebel No matter which way
they decide the case 1t means much to
their friends.
The pressure against them has been
something stupendous, and it Is only fair
to say that throughout the entire canvass
ana during the one and q half days of
argument they seemed actuated only by
the intention to do their duty as they
understood 1t. and to render justice where
they consider 1t due. There Is no doubt
the pressure brought to bear upon them
so far will be continued until they have
handed down the certificate Of election
on Saturday. 1t is possible that one or
the other Of the two majority members Of
the board may altar his position and
stand for Goebel, but it is not consid-
cred likely, and the chances now are
that the conditions which prevail tonight
will endure to the end.
1t is possible, in case the decision is
given to Taylor, that the Democrats may
secure an Injunction restraining him from
taking his seat, and in this manner in
into the legislature. and fought out there
to the bitter end. Some such step has
been considered, but not definitely de-
termined upon. 1t is believed the board,
in handing down it's decision, will say
that while frauds and irregularities were
undoubtedly committed in the election,
the powers of the board do not permit 1t
| to go behind the returns. 1t is expected
| upon this part Of the decision, granting
| it is made, a Democratic contest will be
made. Neither side will talk about the
matter. Mr.. Taylor said:
81 have nothing to say. I am still In
the thick Of the woods, and as long as
see trees I can say nothing. My friends
| tell me that decision will be made Sat
urday, and to wait till then before I dc
| any talking"

NO CHANGE IN TERMINALS.
wisconsin Central to Remain in Chi
cagO Grand Central Depot.


MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. IA repre-
sentative of the WISCONSIN Central rail-
road today said that there would proba-
bly, be no change In terminals in Chicago,
In spite of the oft-repeated announcement
to the contrary.
In railroad circles 1t Is a natter of gos-
sip that the failure Of the change in Chi
cago terminals to take place was due to
the fact that there is possibility of the
Wisconsin Central securing terminals in
this city. 1t is said that as soon as this
fact became known the Baltimore &
nails in the Grand Central station,
brought influence to bear to have the
Wisconsin Central remain there Its OBJ
ject in opposing change is that 1t may
have direct connection with this city for
both freight and passenger traffic. Here
tofore the Baltimore & Ohio has had
the advantage Of the traffic which the
Wisconsin Central brought from North
ern Wisconsin anda Minnesota points, but
it has been deprived entirely of Milwau-
kee business 1t Is for this reason that
the Baltimore & Ohio will bring powerful
influences to bear against the Wisconsin
Central changing its Chicago terminals.
It is also said that the Baltimore & Ohio
officials have been in very close commu-
nication with the Wisconsin Central Of
ficials since 1t became apparent that the
last named road would be assisted by
merchants of this city to get terminals
here.
President Whitcemb. of the Wisconsin
Central, was said. to be in Chicago to-
day on business connected with the ter
minalS.

MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY.
Indiana Boy startles Professors and
Students.

MISHAWAKA, Ind, Dec. ARTHUR
Griffith, the young mathematical prodigy
of Milford, a village asouthea of this city.
has been at the Indiana State university,
at Bloomington for the last few weeks,
and his wonderful feats in solving in
tricate and difficult. mathematical prob
lens astonished the professors and stu
dents at that institution. The boy is
nearly eighteen years old. and has had no
educational advantages beyond those af-
forded by the village school. He Is below
the average in everything but mathenlat-
les, and has not quick. perception in alsy
other lines.
In a letter to the editor of the Milford
Mail one of the professors at the staIe
university says: Arthur has, unaided.
rediscovered, as 1T were, certain principles
that were originally laid down by Sir
Isaac Newton, and his mind is now reach
ing out beyond all present known princi-
pies to grasp points which the mind Of
man has not as yet laid hold upon. This
is being applied to mathematics
The young mans achievements thus far
are really amazing.
Young Griffith is being retained at the
university for the purpose of developing
the full scope Of his mathematical posi-
bilities and to ascertain its limit.

NEW YORK, Dec. Capt F. B.
Knight, of the Ward line steamer City
of Washington, which arrived at this
port today from Mexico and Havana,
took off, on the outward trip, nine wom-
en- and children and seven male passen-
gers from the burning Munson line
steamer Olinda, as partially told in the
dispatches at the time. Purser A. NJ
Scott in speaking Of the rescue, said
today:
I'VE had an uneventful trip till about
10 o'clock one night, when we sighted
a steamer displaying signals Of distress.
The sea was comparatively smooth.
When first sighted, the steamer, which
proved to be the Olinda, was about ten
miles off our port bow, running due west
at top speed. Sparks were flying from
her Ventilators, which made a brilliant
display. The Olinda's captain reported
q bad fire in the forward hold, which was
beyond control, and he asked that We
take off the passengers.
1.-The lifeboats of the Washington were
ordered away, and both ships lay to
while the passengers and stewardess and
most Of their personal baggage were
transferred to the Washington. The
captain refused to leave the ship, and as
the last boat load left the Olindas side
he rang full speed ahead and stood away
for Cape Henry, fifty miles to the west
ward, which I afterward learned he
reached safely.
1.-The city Of washington proceeded on
her voyage south, and the last we saw
of the Olinda was a trail of sparks in
the northwest"
The Olinda's passengers said they did
not know the ship was on fire until after
dinner Sunday night, when the captain
told them to get their personal belong
ings together and be ready to leave at a
moments notice. They said the officers
and crew acted quietly and coolly.

TALKS TOO MUCH.
Recorder GOh's Tip to Counsel for
Roland b. MOIIneux.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Assistant District
Attorney John F. Mcintyre was called as
a witness, this afternoon, in the case of
Roland B. MolineuX on trial for the muir
der of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams. Ap-
parently all Assistant District Attorney
Osborne wanted of Mr.. Mcintyre was the
mere Identification of the remains of Mrs
Adams. After Mr.. Mcintyre had testified
concerning his visit TO the apartments of
Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Adams, and had
asserted that he recognized the dead
body of the poisoned woman, the witness
was turned over to Mr.. Weeks for cross
examination.
Mr. Weeks protested vigorously against
being compelled to cross-examine Mr..
Mcintyre at this time The attorney for
the defense said that the appearance OF
Mr. Mcintyre today was unexpected, and
that the defense was totally unprepared
to proceed with an examination of the
witness.
Mr.. Osborne said he would never call
Mr.. Mcintyre for any other purpose ex-
cept as an aid to establishing the identity
Of the body of the victim.
Recorder Goff finally ruled that the de-
fense could not go outside of the line
pursued by the prosecution in the eN-
animation of Mr Mcintyre unless Mr..
Weeks called the assistant district at
torney as a witness for Mclineux.
IL was nnaIIy agreed IIaC the crcSS-SA-
animation OF Mr.. Mcintyre should be
postponed for the day.
William J. Kinsey, the handwriting eX-
pert was subjected 20 a long and severe
examination by Mr.. Weeks this after
noon. He was finally allowed to qualify
as on expert in handwriting. He swore
that the handwriting in the Harpster let
ter to Frederick Stearns & Co. and
signed III. Cornish" was the same as the
handwriting which Molineux had written
at Kingsley's dictation. Molineux wrote,
at Kingsley's dictation, the identical
words in the Harpster's letter. The let.
ter was read 20 the jury in part IS fol-
lows
"Mr. Harpster has applied to me
for a position. He did not refer me to
you, but I ask you for information con-
ceIning him."
1t was signed "H. Cornish
The afternoon proceedings were enliv-
ened by vigorous criticism by Recorder
GCf of the methods employed by the
lawyers on both sides Of the case IN gen
eral and of the fatal propensity of Mr..
Weeks to talk too much in particular.

charged against that fund to the amount
of $S6,200, with interest thereon to the
amount of $3017, which items he assumes
have been incorrectly charged against
the school fund. His conclusion is that
the sum of $50, 200 should have been charg-

against ''school fund" the amount to the
credit of that fund was thereby reduced
