Twenty-Five Members of the
Senate In Session Today
To Hear the Stuart Falcon
Judicial Contest.
SENATE OVERRULES
Mr.. Stuart's Motion to Dismiss
the Contest
On the Ground That the Senate
Cannot Meet Now.

The Stuart-Falloon contest began be-
fore the senate today.
The attempt of the Populist senators
to secure quorum to begin the Stuart
Falcon contest yesterday afternoon
was not successful. AS 4 o'clock, the
hour at which the senate was to meet,
drew near, James Morphy, secretary
of the senate, counted noses and found
there were only 10 present, two less
than quorum. Senators Jumper and
Lupfer were confidently expected on
the o'clock Santa Fe train from the
southwest. Others were also expected,
but these two would be sufficient to
make quorum.
1t was determined to wait for the 4
o'clock train, and the senate clock was
turned back a half hour. Still no other
members came, and the clock was stop
ped.
Gathered in the senate chamber, be-
sides the 10 senators, were the confession
and contestee with their attorneys, were
numerous politicians. Cy Leland, Con-
gresham Bailey, Lit Crum and ]. w.
Simpson were advising with Mr.. Stuart
and his attorneys, Captain J. G. Waters
and S. L. Ryan of Hiawatha. Falcon S
attorneys are David OVermyer and eX-
Lieutenant Governor Harvey.
AT 4:45 when it became evident that
no more mem berS were coming, in the
absence of Lieutenant Governor Richter,
Senator Householder, president of the
senate, took the chair and ordered Read
ing Clerk Long to call the roll The fol-
lowing senators responded:
Armstrong, Braddock, Cook, Crossan,
Farrelly, Field, Forney, Hart, House
holder, King, Lewelling, Pritchard,
Reser, Ryan, Shaffer. Sheldon, Stone,
Titus, Young-19.
AS there was no quorum Senator
Srossan moved an adjournment till
CroSsan moved an adjournment till
This morning in addition to those who
were present yesterday, there were Sen
ators Jumper, Lupfer and Caldwell, who
arrived last night on the Missouri Pa
cif1c. AS these three made one more
than a quorum the farce commenced.
The first thing to come up was the
motion of Mr.. Stuart for the dismissal
of the contest on the ground that the
senate can not sit after the legislator
has adjourned sine die. Captain Wa
tiers argued the motion and Mr.. Over
unanimously to overrule the motion, to
which Captain Waters excepted.
The senate at 2:10 this afternoon by
common consent allowed Capt. Waters
to file his answer and Mr.. Overmyer
was given until tomorrow morning to
file a reply.
The confession, Mr. Falcon, then
present at the time. They were as fol-
lows: ]. Pool Grinstead, VIM. Woods
worth, c. F. Lucas, Thomas Armstrong,
N. F. Leslie, John Shay, Dell Corning,
John Schilling, John Calvert, w. B.
Swinney. VIM. Baldwin.
Pool Grinstead, editor of the Wathena
Star, who bolted Stuart, the regular
ness called Grinstead is the editor
whom the answer of the contestee
charges with receiving 5000 from Fail
loon for supporting him.

ALSO CHARGE BRIBERY.
Stuart's Attorneys Claim that Falcon
Purchased Support and Secured
Illegal Votes.

The senate got mixed up the first
thing today on the question of allowing
the attorneys for. Mr. Stuart to file an
answer to Falcons petition. When the
answer was offered for filing, Mr.. Over
myer Immediately objected to it on the
ground that the ten days allowed by
the senate for filing a plea had already
elapsed.
The attorneys wrangled for some time
over the matter, and then the senators
debated it. At length Senator Lewelling
moved that a recess be taken till 2
o'clock this afternoon to allow an ex-
animation of the answer to ascertain If
it is merely buncombe, and the motion
prevailed.
The answer offered by Captain Wa
ters makes cOunter-chargeS against
Falcon, alleging that liquors and cigars
were used in his behalf on election day.
1t also goes through the list of most of
the precincts in Doniphan, Brown and
Nemaha counties, charging that from
one to twenty illegal votes were cast in
each precinct.
Specific charges are also made that
Falcon bribed Pool Grinstead, editor of
the Wathena Star, to support him with
his paper, paying hiSl more than $780,
1t is charged that GrfhStead and F. K.
Willis ran joint at Wathena on cleo
ton day in Falcons interest.
A charge is made also that Falcons
supporters tried to buy Bert Howard
editor of the Horton Headlight, offering
him 800

Playing Poker by Wire.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Few outside the brotherhood of the key
are aware that operators often play poker
over the wire. 1t is, nevertheless, fact,
and the diversion is fairly common. when
l was working on the Blankety- blank line
at little railroad station in Illinois, said
an ex-operator the other day, business was
very slack toward early morning and we
used to get up a four-handed game regu-
larly. The players were myself and three
other operators at different points along the
line. We would call each other up and then
every man would deal himself hand, max
ing his discards and helping as desired.
OF course, we had to trust to mutual honor
as to cheating, but l think everybody was
on the square All played freeZe-out and
the loser had to treat when we got together
at headquarters, which was about once
month. l must confess that the action was
little slow, but the game was more ex-
citing than one might imagine. Almost all
the old operators have played cards by tele-
graph at some time or another"
