any disposition to yield to-day, according
to the expectations of buyers, and as the

made on basis of 4S cents before the
opening call, and the market was posted

BROWN RULED OFF
Judges Investigate Thursdays Fight at

Cincinnati, O., November ia thorough

tween "Curley" Brown and Dan Murray
Thursday afternoon at the Newport track.

H. D. Brown, George Keating, trainer;
Ted Wilker and Charles Keatng. Wilker

Brown did not use the weapon given him by
Wflker but struck Murray several times
across the head with a chair. The Keating

assailants when attacked by Brown. Both
Keatings have been employed by Starter

THE SELMA TIMES
VS.. COY. JOHNSTON
Paper Comes Back With a Hot
Editorial Reply.
SOME POINTED QUESTIONS
The Court Journal Receives Sarcas-
tic Rap, and is Referred to as
the Chief Execu-
tive's Echo
SOME POINTED QUESTIONS

Selma, November 11.-(SpeciaL)-Th Sell
ma Times will tomorrow morning print the
card of Governor Johnston demanding the
sources of its information as to the public
examiners being recalled from Mobile coun-
ty after having been sent there, and make
the following editorial reply:
1.-The above shows that the Times has evil
dently reached the governors solar plexus.
We are kinder sorry, though, that the gov
ernor has lost his temper. Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad The
governor is evidently mad-as mad as wet
hen. WE'LL we think 1t is a good sign that
he still has a conscience. 1t shows that he
still makes some pretensions to decency'
and honesty.
1.-THE card was published in the Court
Journal, and that paper comes to the Easy
Boss rescue in a double-leaded editorial
and thinks that the Times is completely an
initiated. 1t is the governors echo, you
know, and it is expected to sneeze every
time His Majesty takes snuff. We do not
know whether the governor has ever heard
of 1t or not, but there is an impression all
over the state that he has used his ap-
pointive power to advance his own political
ambitions, and that his examiners of ac-
counts have been handled in similar man
ner. The governor would not have to go
very far to find good many men who are
of this opinion.
sit was very kind of the governor to In
form the Times that the accounts of all
the officials of Mobile had been examined
and were on file In his office. He also says
that they were filed on December II, 1896.
Now, the Times would like to ask the gov
ernor few questions:
.'Were you inaugurated governor in No
vember, 1896?
'Did you send the examiners to Mobile
to make report on the accounts Of the
Mobile officials, or did Governor Oates send
them there?
"Have any grand juries in Mobile county
asked you to send your examiners to Mo-
bile and If so how many times has that
request been made?
Have you ever sent your examiners to
Mobile to examine any other accounts be-
sides Tax Collector Lofts?
"These are all respectful questions, gov
ernor, and are asked In perfectly good
faith We want information. and go to
you, dear governor, the source of light, on
this subject"

reinforced, or, at any rate, before the re-
iEforeements create "a diversion of the Boer
forces.
The general accepted feeling toward
General White in his command at Lady
smith is not so gloomy as during prior
weeks.
This applies equally to Mafeking, Kimber-
ley and other points. The popular and ex
pert impression now is that these places
and Ladysmith will not fall into the hands
of the Beers, though, some people add, 1t
is hard to see any grounds for making
definite prognostication to that effect, for
to the impartial observer 1t seems to be
toss UP.
Remarkable Invention
1t is learned by the Associated Press that
one of the most remarkable inventions in
warfare will shortly be tested in South
Africa. Lieutenant Foulkes, a young Off
Ger of the Royal Engineers, sailed Tor
Capetown October IL to put photographs to
uses hitherto considered impracticable, and
which, if successful, will revolutionize the
methods of military reconnaissance. Brief
ly summed up Foulkes proposition is to
indicate the exact position and formation
of the Beers by means of tele-2hoto pic
lures. He takes out an equipment OF MS
own invention and is attached to General
Buffers staff. Heretofore, accommodating
parties have returned from that hazard
Gus duty with only roughly sketched map
showing the general distribution of the Boer
lines. 1t is hoped here that these will now
be supported by photographs more accur-
rate and secured at less danger, the tele-
photo lense not necessitating such near ap-
proach to the enemy.
The main objection to the plan Is the
time occupied in developing the photo
graphs, and this is said to have been over
come by Foulkes' method, as during the
trials he has prints ready seven minutes al
ter focusing. 1t is said that photographs
thus secured will be of great value in VERT
flying routes and preventing columns from
losing their way, also rendering them prac-
tically Independent of guides when ad-
vancing on unknown ground. Foulkes car
rdes his entire equipment on his own ana
orderly's bicycles. The camera is simple
looking affair for handiwork, but 1t is fitted
with the most expensive scientific devices.
The few military experts who know the
object of Foulkes' mission are looking for
ward with keen interest to the spectacle OF
battle plans being formed on photographs
taken, developed and printed at the furth-
crest outpost, probably within easy range
of the Beers. Foulkes carries Mauser, a
revolver and a carbine. He previously ex-
perimented with this class of photography
while serving in Sierra Leone, in the Hut
tax expedition, securing results upon which

the State M . pends on
Alleged Irregularities

Louisville. KY. November 1.-THE second
day of the official count has disclosed no
startling changes from the unofficial fig
ires. Both sides still claim the state,
though the democratic estimate was some-
what reduced today. Reports from over 90
of the 119 counties give Goebel plurality
of little over 1000 votes on the official
count. The democratic unofficial reports
from the remaining counties show enough
Taylor puranties to wipe this out and
leave a margin for the republican cam
didate Much depends, however, upon con-
tests being made in several counties on the
ground of alleged irregularities. The doani.
nation of these points may cause change
from present estimates of the results.
The official count has shown that the
two candidates for governor ran far ahead
of their ticket all over the state. Goebel
is leading it by an average of over 25 votes
to the county. In Grayson county, where
the democratic bolt was strong. he leads
the ticket by so votes.
Taylor appears to be leading his ticket
by an even greater average than Goebel.
In Grayson county Taylor leads over
Marshall, the candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor by 1874 votes.
In Tayro county Goebel leads his ticket
by So and Taylor by 81.
In this city good progress was made with
the count today with very slight changes.
1t will require several days to finish 1t,
however, as bitter disputes have arisen in
several wards.
Commercials Reports
Reports have been received by the Com
mercdal Crepublican) up to midnight from
Ill of the 119 counties giving the official
count. These give Goebel pluralities of H.
1863 and Taylor pluralities of 1885, Goebel's
net plurality, 3,734. The unreported coun-
ties are Rowan, jefferson, Knox and Har-
rison, in which the canvassdng boards have
adjourned until Monday; and Johnson,
Menefee Cumberland and Letcher, which
have not yet sent In the official count.
These eight counties, according to the un-
official figures heretofore received by the
Commercial, give Taylor pluralities of 6,656,
and Goebel pluralities of 1,032; Taylors net
plurality, 5,624 Deducting from this Goe-
bells plurality of 1874 in Ill counties leaves
Taylor plurality in the whole state of
1880.
The democratic unofficial returns from
lhe eight unreported counties show a net
