Caldwell, O., Oct 9.---Caldwell was
alive with oil men today, attracted by
the case Of the State of Ohio against
Longfellow Bros. and Chris. Mckee,
for drilling wells without raying the
S. license and not plugging wells as
required by recent act of the Legis-
lature.
The case of Longfellow Bros. was
called by Mayor Dye at 10 a. m. At
torney Price, for the State, said that
there was not satisfactory evidence
against the defendants, and the case
was dismissed
MCKEE CASE.
The case against Mckee was then
called As there were no witnesses on
either side, the attorneys for the de-
fense attacked the law, declaring it
unconstitutional and UNI easonable.
They contended that its provisions
could not be complied with.
The law applies only to districts
where coal is minable, but until man
has drilled he does not know whether
there is,,such vein of coal or not. He
must pay the S. just the same, and If
it proves that there is no such vein,
there is nosproyision whereby he can
recover his money.
The attorney for the State answered
that the law was passed to protect the
miners from accidents caused by the
escape of gas from abandoned wells
into the coal veins and that the law
came under the police power of the
State. The defense contended that ii
did not come under the police power.
Mayor Dye took the case under con-
sideration, and reserved his decision.

THE FORGED NAMES.
The Electoral Board Will Leave Them
Off the Ballots.

On behalf Of q number of those whose
names were illegally turned in to Clerk
Walter Christian as candidates Tor Com
mon Council, Board of Aldermen and
Justice Of the Peace from Jackson Ward,
Mr.. William L. Royal appeared before
Judge Wexford in chambers yesterday
morning and secured an injunction re-
straining the Electoral Board from in
sorting certain names on the official bal
lot to be voted for on May oath, at the
general election.
The names stricken off under the in,
junction were those of people who had
presented affidaTits to the effect that
they had authorized no one TO place their
names upon the list OF candidates. There
were other names handed Clerk Chris
tan, believed to be fraudulent. but as
no one could be found answering to the
names, no action could be taken.
The names stricken off by the injunc-
ton are: Henry Moore, John G. Smith,
Thomas Smith, E. ]. Crane, VIM. 3.
Smith, a. Hayes, Bernard Brown, r. H.
Glover, Is. Adams and Benjamin Jack
son.
Mr.. e. y. sRoscher, on behalf Of Alder
man James l. Smith, appeared before
Judge Wexford, in order to have the
name of Games Y. Smith stricken off.
But as no one came forward to represent
James Y. Smith,, nothing could be
done, and, accordingly, the name will be
retained on the official ballot.
The law provides that the ballots must
be printed within ten days of the cleo
ton. Yesterday, therefore, was the last
day, as the election takes place on the
oath instant.
The Electoral Board will make no con-
test, but will obey the mandate of the.
court, and strike off the names indicated
in the restraining order.
They have. all along, declared that
they had no power to act III the premises,
and desired the court TO pass upon the
matter This the court has done, and
the Electoral Board will act accordingly.

CONsTITU TIONAL CONVENTION.
Interest in 1t Growing III Counties OF
Nelson aud Amherst.


! GRAPE LAWN, VA, May 14--Special-
Since the meeting of the Democratic Dis
trict Committee, to fix the time and place
for holding the Congressional Convention
of the Tenth District. renewed activity
seems to have been injected into the con-
test for the nomination.
Messrs. Loving and Gordon, the aspiranes
from Nelson, are making house-to-house
canvass Of the county, and each seems TO
believe he will come out the winner
The friends OF the former, however
stoutly insist that their favorite VIII carry
Amherst and Nelson. which will have to-
gether thirty-three delegates.
Judge Loving made a trip TO Botetourt
recently, to look after his fences, and
came back much encouraged az the out
look.
The sentiment in favor Of holding a con-
stitutional convention has steadily grown
IN this county since the declaration OF the
