REMINDED HIM OF
OLDEN TIMES.

DR.. S. B. Addison, who conducts a
livery stable in this town and who, by tue
way, is a handsome old bachelor, had an
occasion last week to 20 to Louisville.
AS it is an uncommon thing for people
to take a steamer, this idea struck him
forcibly. He made the trip via boat
and said: 81 never in my whole life en-.
joyed such a change, the cooking, the
berths and the ringing Of that melodious
bell had fascination to for me inthe ex-
treme. Years and years ago could relate
something about every point where
boats would land, but this being my first
trip in ten years, there have taken place
many changes"

The case OF contest arising from the
local option election held here Deem
Der the 10th to be tried before Circuit
Judge McBeath. was called at seven
o'clock Wednesday evening, Feb. l4tb.
There was large number Of Cloverport
people present including some Of the
most ardent women workers. Hardins-
burg was also well represented by the
good women and men from all over the
county eagerly awaited the decision Of
the Judge.
The contestants were represented by
Col. David r, Murray, as formerly.
Ex-senator ]. s. Workman who was
employed by the contestees made clear
and exhaustive exposition OF the law,
and his speech had a telling effect on
both audience and court. His tribute
to woman and her work In the temper
ance cause was appreciated.
Senator Workman is one Of the ablest
lawyers in the state and is heart and
soul in favor Of the best interests Of the
people.
When the speeches had been made
and short time had elapsed, Judge Nc.
Bsath handed in the following decision
In the contest case Of Thomas G. Tou-
sey &c. aganst F. N. D'Huy &c, from
Cloverport, the court being sufficiently

opinion:

citizens claiming that the names Of
many OF the persons signed TO the petit
ton we're forged to said petition, and in
order to investigate such a charge, the
County Judge should conclude, as he
ought to do, that it would be proper to
continue the case until the next term OF

End. l hold that the pr, ceedipgs set on
foot by the petitioners in its inception is
in the nature OF an exparte proceeding
and is largely under their control prior
to the taking of the vote. At any rate
they had the right if the object sought
to be obtained by them had been mis-
conceived by the court in making the
first order to come in person or by their
representatives and have the order cor
rected.
3rd. hold tnat the proper construction
OF the petitions filed shows their inten-
ton to be to have the vote taken in the
entire district as whole and not by the
precincts separately.
Upon the whole case hold that the
requirements Of the Local Option law
have been substantially complied with,
and that the law has been legally adopt
ed in the Cloverport Magisterial district.
The demur Of the contestants to the an
swer Of contestees is overruled and the
petition OF contestants is dismissed with
costs, to which contestants except and
pray an appeal to the Court of Appeals,
which is granted.
1 desire to add to this opinion that the
questions raised by the contestants in
this issue are purely technical and with
out any real merit. The order OF the
County Court submitting the vote to the
people is clear and explicit. The voters
all understood, at the time the vote was
taken, that the law, II adopted, would
apply to the Cloveyport Magisterial dis.
trict, and with this understanding, a ma
jority OF the votes cast was in favor Of
the law. No COMPLAINT is made that
any unfair means were used, or any acts
done to deceive or intimidate voters or
to prevent fair expression Of the will
of the people who had the right to de-
termine this question. In such case all
doubtful points in the mind of the court
should be resolved in favor OF upholding
the will of the people.

The death of V. b Burton occurred at
the Hardinsburg hotel last Tuesday
night, after an illness OF about three

his return from a trip to Frankfort some
weeks ago, and was probably brought on
by undue exposure. When he came
home he complained of severe cold,
but not much was thought of it by his
friends; they thought he would be out in
few days. Several complications set
up, however, which terminated in his
death.
Mr.. Burton was a prominent citizen OF
the county, and took an active interest in
public matters. He was a Republican,
and held several important positions.
At the time OF his death he was sheriff
of the county, having been elected on
the Republican ticket at the last general
election.
His burial took place at the old family
burying ground, near Balltown, last
Thursday evening Mr.. Burton was
member OF the Masonic lodge here and
| the last rites in his honor were perform
ed by the members of that body. Mr..
Burton leaves an estate valued at about
500 1000, all of which will go to his mother.
