In Part One of the Circuit Court yes
terday morning, Judge H. c. Hervey
denied the petition for writ of man
damus to compel the ballot commits
sioners to place the names of short
term Council nominees upon the Of
fetal ticket. The commissioners and
members of the executive committees
of both parties, as well as counsel in
the case, were present.
Judge 'Hervey did not submit his
opinion in writing, but stated it brief
ly. He said he had carefully examin-
ed the authorities submitted by the
attorneys on both sides, as well as
others which he had found, bearing
upon the same subject. He was OF
opinion that where a vacancy occur
red, and it was filled in a manner
prescribed by law, there could be no
question or room for discussion, be-
cause the vacancy then ceased to ex-
ist unless the law expressly provid-
ed otherwise
JuuSe HerFey referred 10 the law
pertaining to municipal elections in
West Virginia, and said that it ex-
pressly excerpts Wheeling. The gen
eral law governs elections in towns
and villages incorporated after its
passage. The determination of this
matter leaves the ballot commissioners
free to proceed with the arrangement
of the ticket and the names of can
didates, and they will probably assem-
bic for that purpose before the close
of the week.

A few days ago the announcement
was made from Sistersville that
Jack" Ritz, chief of police of that
town, had resigned. Certain oppon-
ents of Mr. John S. Ritz, candidate for
City Sergeant on the Democratic tick
ct in this city, began the circulation
of the report that he had withdrawn
and showed the Sistersville report to
prove it. This is certainly playing
things pretty low donw.
1t is current report that the Com
mittee of One Hundred is up to some
thing new, and there has been a good
deal of guessing in political circles as
to just what it is. Gentlemen reputed
to be agents and members of the COM
mittee are going about the smaller ho-
tells of the city, working, in at least
one instance as late as half-past three
O'Clock In the morning, examining
registers, comparing names, signatures
and places of residence, and taking
the results down in writing. Yester-
day morning one very prominent citi-
zen spent over an hour on one hotel
register alone, to the certain knowI-
edge Of the reporter. What some peO-
pie would like to know is, what's in

MONSTERS TO RACE.
Exciting Time on Burlington and
Northwestern Roads Soon.

The Chicago & Northwestern is pre-
pairing for series Of tests ofspeed and
endurance between Chicago and Council
Bluffs to wrest from the Burlington if
possible the carr lying of the transconti.
mental mails between these points.
AS preliminary step S. A. Morrison,
trainmaster of the Sioux City division of
the road. has just completed tour of
investigation over the Burlington's line
to inspect the new facilities for carrying
the mail inaugurated by that company.
The Burlington is said to have the most
profitable methods of handling mail
contracts Of any road in Iowa, and holds
the most important contracts.
Since March IL, 1884, the Burlington
has run fast mail train between Chi
cago and Council Bluffs, and has carried
all the transcontinental mails. Then
the schedule time was IL hours and 80
minutes. Now it is 10 hours and 25
minutes, which has been beaten many
times. The second day this schedule
was inaugurated, January2, 1899, the
fast mail made the run between Council
Bluffs and Chicago in 8 hours and 23
minutes. On February II, of the same
year, the time was cut to hours and IA
minutes in the opposite direction, and
| it is the record today.
To beat the Burlington and secure the
carrying of the transcontinental mails
between Chicago and Council Bluffs that
will cut the Burlington's regular sched.
ule time of 10 hours and 25 minutes by
at least 20 minutes each day for seven
consecutive days. This is the regula-
ton of the postoffice department on the
subject.
That is to say, the Northwestern must
cover the 4S9 miles between Chicago
and Council Bluffs in 8 hours and IS
minutes for seven consecutive days.
Then the carrying Of the mails will be
awarded to it.
| Perhaps the Northwestern can come
up to this speed and endurance require
ments now, but it has Eever been able
to do SO in the past Its line is IL miles
shorter than the Burlington but the lat.
ter road has advantages that more than
Offset this difference. The Burlington's
fast mail is pulled by young men, most
of them between % and 80 years Of age
and capable of great endurance, while
on the Northwestern the fast mail run
is considered to belong to older men
A fast mail engineer on the Northwest
ern under fifty is rarity. The Burling
ton is now running the fastest and larg
est passenger engines in the world OF
, its fast mail run. The Northwestern
has fine locomotive equipment, but of
different class. Its engines stand higl
above the tracks, making the center O
gravity SO high that full speed canno
be maintained on curves.
: The eyes of the railroad world will b
upon the Northwestern when it inaug
urates its tests, as it will spare nelthe
money nor effort to come up to the re
quiremepts. The dates have not bee
made public, but the trials will occu
some time between now and coll
