Decision i'm Official Contest Case.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, Nov. 2.-Judge Henry
G. Fox, of the Wayne Circuit Court, to-
day rendered a decision in the case of
III. II. Hoover against Levi M. Jones. This
case is one of considerable Importance,
involving the right of County Commission
ers to fill vacancy in a constitutional Of
fee, the appointee to serve past general
election. Hoover was elected a justice Of
the peace on Nov. 6, to succeed Jones.
Jones was appointed by the Commissioners
in 1899 to fill out the term of John s.
Lyle, deceased. AS Lyle was elected in
1898 TO serve four years, Jones claims the
right to serve until that time. Hoover
secured his commission and demanded the
Office. On JoneS'S refusal to surrender it
Hoover brought quo warranto proceedings
to which Jones demurred. The court holds
that the law makes no provision for the
election of successor until the term for
which Lyle was elected shall expire, which
will not be until the general election in
1902, and that cases have been decided by
the Supreme Court nearly in point as
to leave but little doubt is to what the
law of this case is. The court holds that
when Hoover was elected there was no
vacancy in the Justices office. The de-
murrer to the complaint is sustained.

LONDON, Nov. H-An extraordinary and
novel form of amusement recently brought
from Iceland was described for the first
time before the Board of Trade of Hull
when the skipper of a Grimsby steam
trawler charged the skipper of another
Grimsby trawler with wiIlfuily ramming the
formers boat while off the coast of Ice
land. 1t appears that the captain of the
trawler Balmoral Castle became facetious
at the expense of the captain of the traw-
Ter st. Paul, who Immediately put on
full head of steam and charged on the
Balmoral Castle. By skillful maneuvering
collision was averted. But again the
furious skipper of the st. Paul charged
at his enemy. Again the Balmoral Castle
skipped away. Enraged at his failures the
captain of the St. Paul once more made
straight at his enemy's trawler. This time
he crashed into her starboard quarter. The
shock threw down the ramming skipper
from his whelehouse, but, picking himself
up, he backed away. shouting songs of VIC
tory. The Balmoral Castle was almost
sunk. and the captain Of the st. Paul will
probably have to pay high for his exhibit
ton of naval tactics
