KELLY DOESN'T CARE.
BY the Time the Election Contest
will Be Finished Anyone Can
Have the Office for Asking.

An application for an extension OF
time for the taking of testimony by
the respondent in the Langstaff elec-
tion contest was made yesterday, by
Attorneys NJ. f.. Mcdonald and G. c.
Donovan, bat Judge Archibald, before
whom the motion was made, declined
to hear arguments until the other two
judges were with him on the bench.
The application will likely be renewed
this morning Yesterday was the last
day allowed the respondent for taking
testimony according to his way of ng-
uring but the contestants side held
that Tuesday was the last day, and
Attorney Holoate declined to go on
with the examination of the big batch
of witnesses who had been summoned.
The contestants attorneys want TO
adjourn to oct. 9. and then have the
| respondent put in not more than fifteen
days closing his case, after which a
| ten days recess would be taken to
give the contestant time to prepare for
| rebuttal, which Mr.. Holgate estimates
will require sixty days. This pro-
gramme would prOlOng the taking OF
| testimony to the middle of January OF
next year allowing for the holidays
| and Sundays.
The respondents attorneys say they
! VIII be satisfied with five more days, If
the contestants rebuttal period is linn
! tied to thirty days
After the taking of testimony is fin
ished, the examiners will enter upon
the task of picking out bad votes from
| the $4,000 pages of evidence, and that
! being concluded the court will take the
matter in hand to review the exam
iners' findings and frame a decision.
After April l. the treasurer's office is
conducted at loss, or at the most a
very small profit, unless something out
of the ordinary comes up to earn fees.
There is very little possibility of the
| contest being decided by that time. and
! if it isn't, Treasurer Kelly is thinking
of admitting defeat and compelling the
| contestant to pay clerk hire and surety
| interest for the remainder of the year.

Gently in the newspapers, parents VIII
permit their children to play on the
streets where electric cars are run,
and there is scarcely a day passes
that motormen are not called upon to
exercise extraordinary precaution to
avoid running them down.
An instance of this happened on Rob-
inson street, yesterday afternoon,
when a PetersburgLa car was
running towards the central city. The
car was passing the residence of Dray-
man George Brown when a wagon go
ing in the opposite direction was also
passing.
A child about three years of age, be-
longing to the peanut vender residing
across the street was hanging on to
the rear of the wagon and dropped off
just as the car came along. Without
any thought whatever of danger the
little fellow ran across the tracks and
escaped being run down by n few feet.
A new motorman was running the
car, and was being directed by an
other motorman, who noticed the child
