portant battles by both generals is ex-

pewey,s Visit to His Birthplace.

During Admiral Deweys recent
visit to Montpelier man called at
the house where the Admiral was
born, and apon asking if that was
the house and being told it was,
wanted to look it oyer. The lady in
charge told him they had to exaci a
small fee, as so many wished to go
over the house, whereupou he paid
the required Is cents
Soon after another man called
and asked the lady If Admiral
Dewey was there. She told him he
was not, but he said he must be, as
he saw him 60 in short time be-
fore. She found the first man, and
soon found that 1t was the Admiral
himself She was much chagrIned
to think she had charged him the
regular fee, and hastened to return
it to him, but he did not take it,
and enjoyed the joke more than the
lady herself. --(From the st, Johns

Hanna Knocked Out.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 8.-One
result of the election in Ohio will be
the retirement of Hanna as the
Republican leader in the State and
Nation, Republicans know that he
has been detriment instead of an
aid to his party in this campaign,
Further than this, it is predicted
that if he retains his hold on the
party relns it will defeat Mckinley
in 1900.
The antagonism to Hanna in his
own party has grown to surprising
dimensions,
The Senator himself has realized
the strength Of this antagonismt
but he felt that he could not with
draw under fire aud none OF hi,
friends we're willing that he should.
But the word has been passed a.
round quietly that this would be
the last campaign he would try tt
manage.

BOTH CLAIM THE VICTORY.
The Kentucky Election is the
Old Time Bone of
Contention.
A CONTEST PROBABLE.
GOebel Says He is Elected by
5000, While Taylor Claims
the Victory by 5000.

Louisville, KY, Nov, 9.-The Goe-
bel party cling to their claim of a
plurality of 5000 in the state, these
figures being the estimate made by
the nominee himself tonight. At
Republican headquartersin this city
Taylor's plurality is placed at 5000.
Ia neither case is it possible to get
the figures upon which the claim is
based, each side evidently fearing
that giving publicity to the reports
of its agents throughout the state
might work to the advantage of his
opponent in the event of contest.
In view of the probability Of a
contest over the vote for governor
this statement, made by Chairman
Lsng of the Republican campaign
committee at IL O'Clock tonight, is
significant Said Mr.. Long:
"The legislature is close, but /
think we have lost both houses.
In the event of a contest it will
come before the legislature. This is
the case only with the offices of
governor and Acknowledgements.
The law covering this point pro-
vides that board shall be chose
in the legislature by lot, the senate
selecting three and the house eight
members. The decision Of this body
is not final an conclusive. 1t must
report to the general assembly,
where further action maybe taken
Tonight's developments bring the
legislature into prominence because
of the probability that it will ulti-
mately determine who is the next
governor of Kentucky.
Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 9.-Chair-

of County Case Concluded.

The supreme court yesterday re-
versed the Judgment of the lower court
in the damage suit of Lorenzo Dickert,
appellant, against the Salt Lake City
Railroad company. The opinion, which
remands the case for retrial. was deliv-
cred by Justice Baskin and concurred
in by the other justices.
The plaintiff sued in the district court
TO recover for injuries sustained by his
wife. who, it was alleged. had suffered
a broken arm by reason of the defend
ant companys employees negigentiy
starting a car before Mrs. Dickert
could get seated in it. The defense
pleaded contributory negligence. and at
the trial the Judge instructed the jury,
among other things, that if the evil
dence showed the street car was started
in a merely unusual manner, though
not necessarily dangerous, plaintiff
could not recover. To these instr5.cs
tions plaintiff excepted, and new trial
being refused, an appeal was taken.
The supreme court held that the
iadge's instructions to the jury were
in error. because the effect was the
same as charging that if the car were
started in the usual manner the plain
tiff could not recover, although the
usual manner might have been. dan
gerous and violatiHe of the high degree
of care which the@common carrier is
required TO observe regarding its pas
sengers. The opinion also declared that
the lower court had not properly ex-
pounded to the jury the law upon liza
bility of common carriers for injuries
suffered by passengers for acts Of neg
ligence by EMPLOYEES.
