AN ELECTION
INNOVATION
Local Politicians Worked Over
the Prospect Of Two
Ballots.
A Great Deal Of Confusion is Expected to
Result From the Plan, If
Carried Out.
SEEMS TO BE DEFINITELY SETTLED

There has been considerable dis
cussion on legal row and in other
places throughout the city today over
the prospect of having to have two
ballot boxes, two ballots and two
counts, to say nothing Of the neces-
sity Of every man voting twice, at
the November election.
Secretary of State Hill and Attorr-
ey General Breckenridge have an
nounced that the two ballot plan will
have to be adopted on account of the
law, in counties where there are to
be both county and municipal cleo
tions in November. This is because
the state cannot under the law, tech
nioally speaking pay for any paper on
which ballots are printed except the
county ballots.
The chairmen Of the Republican
and Democratic campaign committees
at Louisville have been notified but
after a conference decided to do moth
ing until they can confer with attorn-
eys.
The double ballot and voting sys-
tom would doubtless be as convenient
or as inconvenient for one side as the
other, but would require a great
deal more time, and cause more or

Mysterious Manner.

He challenged the man to halt, but
this was not needed and the fellow
approached nearer.
Deprend leveled his gun and aimed
TO shoot for effect, but just at that in
slant another man, who came towards
him from the opposite side, caught
the gun, threw it up and the bullet
was spent in the air. This same man
struck Deprend on the right eide Of
the abdomen with a knife or other
sharp weapon, cutting an L cash in
his overooat an inch and a half long
each way, and smaller one in his
blouse. The flesh was not broken,
but was bruised under the cuts in the
clothing. Deprend in the struggle fell
and rolled down the side Of the vault.
Lieut.. Ashbridge, officer of the day,
was in front Of the vault and rushed
to the top on hearing the shot but
the men made good their escape. All
members of the company on hearing
the shot hurried to the vault and, be.
sides searching the cemetery the guard
was increased.

credit the report that the attack on
the guards was for the purpose OF des-
ecrating the grave. 20.

Canton, o., Sept. 30.-A strange
story comes from westlawn cemetery
last night, where a company Of regu-
lar from Fort Wayne, Mich, are
guarding the vault in which the body
Of Mckinley lies. IL is to the effect
that the guard on duty ON top of the
vault fred a shot at one man who re-
fused to heed his challenge, that the
shot was diverted by another man who
appeared from another direction and
that an effort was made to stab the
guard.
Military regulation prevented eth
er the officers or the men Of the post
from being quoted on any matter con.
nected with their service, and for this
reason Captain Biddell, who is IN
command, was obliged 20 decline to
be quoted. He will maize a full report
to his superiors at once. Reliable
authorities made the following state.
ment:
Private Deprend was on guard duty
on top Of the vault, at a point com.
manding the entrance below and the
approach from the rear. Shortly be-
fore 80 he saw what he took to be
the face Of a man peering from behind
a tree. He watched IL for twenty
minutes, he says, and at 7:45 saw the

Connell, First Lieut.. Edward A.
Bumpus and Dr. r. S. Griswold,
surgeon.
Captain Edwin V. Bookmiller Of
the Ninth infantry, reports that Gen.
Hughes is assembling force to at.
tack the insurgents.
The insurgents captured all the
stores and ammunition of the company
aud all the rifles except twenty-six.
Il is now certain that not only over
forty of the American soldiers were
surprised by insurgents and killed, but
that Capt Cornell, LIEUT.. Bumps

THE PARK PLAN.
Attorney LightfOOt Says the Park
Cannot Be Bought
The City Can Take An Option
on the Properly,
However,

City Attorney r. II. Lightfoot,
as intimAted in the sun last week, has
decided that the city cannot legally
purchase the proposed park site offered
the city for $4,000 under the terms
offered, which were on six years
time. The city cannot contract be-
yond the present fiscal year, and no
appropriation was made for the park.
Attorney Lightfoot suggests the
plan Of securing an option on the
property, which would enable the
city to pay so much a year to secure
the option, renewing it every year
until paid for, or until the next levy
is made, when the succeeding council,
Il it sees ft, may appropriate enough
money to pay the entire amount.
Should the next council oppose the
purchase, however, the money already
paid on the option would be lost. II
is probable the matter will be dropped
by the council, after hearing the at
torney's report.

Ill, superintendent of the terminals
Of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
was in the city today and stated that
the publication in yesterdays News

arranging to come into Psducah was a
pipe dream" The road is not even
contemplating it. 1t is not trying to
get right Of way at any point on this
side Of the river and will not abandon
its transfers Of carRoes at the N, q.
and ST. L. incline" for as Captain
Browinski stated, If his road has ever
unloaded a car at the N, q. and St.
L. incline here he didn't know it, and
consequently would hardly abandon
the "plsn." The road, according to
reports, is trying to get a dirt road
built through the lower part Of the
county to the river in order. to pro-
vide means Of reaching the river
with wheat and other products and
transfer them across to Joppa.
