billions on BoZeman street and proceeded

thority for him to take him before the

indications were that the couple had
been asphyxia ed. In Ahlstrom's peck
cts several kinds of poison, such as 8

poison had been used. The woman, &
tall, handsome brunette, extensively
DIRE sed and with numerous costly
Jewels on her fingers, was recognized

but no one knew her name. Ahlstr0m's

CATION. The investigators found that

suicide. Rudolph Noel, o waiter at the

that DIR. Ahlstrom almost had to carry

THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. 10. 1900.

WE HAVE not received yet all the
figures of The lsst Presidential election,
but some interesting facts may be safely
stated. Mr.. McKinley's majority in
the electoral college is increased over
1895. but his popular majority over
Bryan, which was 613,7 1852 In that year,
has been largely reduced in many
States, and, in spite of the enormou
frauds by the republicans in Pennsyl-
vania, it may be found to have disap-
peared entirely. Apparently there will
be no great difference in the popular
vote between the two parties. Ii, how
ever. We omit the negroes Bryan will
be found to have a large sjority OF The
white race OF the country-peHhaps
considerably over half million OF
votes Even this does not fully dis
close the democratic party strength.
In New York, Virginia, Nebraska and
other States the vote cast for demc-
cratic governors and congressman
greatly exceeded the vote cast for MI
Bryan. Tue republican party owes lie
triumph to the forces of corruption and
to false preteSses by which they ar
rayed the wealth of the country against
the democracy. They were aided also
by set of renegsdes who in two sue
cessive elections have betrayed the
party that bad heaped honors and bene-
fits upon them. We are sorry 10
say that some of these were Souih ern
men. They were we say, Southern
men. Ifit id my comfort to them, they
may know that they are also marked
men. They may not absolutely en-
counter social ostrscism. Gentlemen
may speak to them, but they will
speak of them also, and in terms the
reverse OF f4ttery. L they want to
arm how they stand, let one tf
them Offer himself for public oficT.
Their best show for their mess OF poi

AN INTERESTING DECISION.

An interesting case bearing upon the
responsibility of sureties in cases Of de-
faulting OF bank officials was yesterday
decided in the United States Circuit
Court in Richmond. This decision is
likely to establish an important prece-
dent 10 this class of cases. The case
yesterday was that of the Fidelity and
Casually Company of New York
against the St. Matthew Savings Bank
OF Charleston, s. G. The opinion wa
written by Judge John Paul, of this
STATE. ]. w. Zlmmer Was cashier OF
the bank and several years ago became
q defaulter. The Fidelity and Casualty
Comp my was surety on his bond for
the sum OF $4,000. The company re-
fused to pay on the ground that the
president and directors of the bank had
not exercised proper diligence in su-
pervising the work of the cashier. Suii
was brought and special master was
appointed 10 investigate the case and
report. He recommended that iudg-
ment be given 10 favor of the bank for
the sum OF $7,047 ,S5 and interest from
September, 1896. Judge Simonton.
who heard the case in the United
States Circuit Court, gave judgment for
this SUN. The Fidelity and Casualty
Company appealed and the opinion OF
the lower court was unanimously
affirmed, with costs to the plaintiff.
