Trial of Smith and Dennis.

Much interest is being manifested
in the trial of Smith and Dennis in
the Florence court for arson, alleged
to have been committed at Timmons-
vile on October 80 last. A motion by
Radsdale and Rhame, defendants at
torneys, to quash the Indictment, was
overruled by Judge Purdy, and the
work of empanelling jury proceeded
slowly, and had not been concluded
at a late hour Friday afteronon. The
case will doubtless go over into next
week. There are about fifty witnesses
to be examined.
A strong array of counsel is pre-
sent, and there will be an interest
ing legal fight. Many prominent citi-
zens of Timmonsville are present.

Will Stand Together.

The Workingmen' Protective Asso-
citation, of Charleston, has formu-
lated a platform of principles and
demands, and will cast its vote solidly.
A primary will be held within the as
sociation, and the ticket receiving the
majority vote will be supported by the
entire organization. The following is
the platform adopted:
l. We believe in fewer hours and
larger rewards for labor and favor such
laws as will harmonic the interest OF
capital and labor and attend to tighten
the burden of toll.
2. We ask that tsall State, county and
municipal work be given to contractors
and other Workingnen who are citl-
zen of the localities in which 1T is
done and that qualified voters should
be given the work on such contract.
8. Nine hours per day shall constl--
tute days work for mechanics ano
.laborers employed on State, county or
city work.
4. Payment of wages weekly and
equal pay for women for equal work
performed with men.
5. The payment of wages in lawful
money.
s. The abolition of contract prison
labor.
Z. The prohibition of child labor
under IA years of age in factories.
5. The sanitary inspection Of mines,
work shops, factories and dwellings.
9. We demand that all State, coun-
ty and city officers receiving a salary
of nine hundred dollars or over per
year shall go into the primary.
10. The adoption of laws for the
protection of the labels of the various
trades unions. These labels guarantee
that the product on which they ap-
pear is produced under fair conditions.
We demand that ali State, county
and city printing be done in printing
houses using the union label and that
all books used in our public schools
shall bear the union label. s@@
IL. We demand the adoption of
proper laws regulating the hours con-
stituting days work in manufacto-

UEOsebud,, Hopkins. in Butte.

James Rosebud" Hopkins came in
rom Forsyth the other day and is
stopping at the Finlen, says the Butte
Miner.
In speaking of affairs of that town
he said that the people there are
greatly mystilied about the strange
disappearance Of Paul Scholkoph,
who has been missing since last month.
No one knows where he is and there
are runors of foul play atloat. Ee
had considerable money on him when
last seen, and it is presumed that he
was killed for this if he has been made
away with at all.
Scholkoph was employed as a freight
conductor running between Forsyth
and Billings. He was in good tnan-
Cial condition, having just returned
from Nebraska, where had disposed of
some property and had, when last
seen, about 5000.
It was about six weeks ago that
Scholl"ph disappeared, and as yet
no trace of him has been found. He
was engaged to marry an estmable
young woman who lives near Billings,
and that was the last place in which
he was seen. He was on a grievance
committee of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Conductors and disappeared soon
after his return from Saint Paul,
where lie had been on business con-
nected with the brotherhood.
The thought that the young man
was made away with for mere enmity
is tabooed, as he was very popular
and was we'll known all over that
part of the state. Every effort has
been made to get some track of him,
but to no avail. The case, Mr.. Hop
kins says is pulling everyone and the
only thought now is that the young
mans body may be found where it
might have been left by his murderers
There is absolutely no motive why
SCholkoph should have left the country
without informing some of his friends
He was i'll good financial circum-
stances, and stood well with his en-
ployers. He had ordered his wedding
suit and 1t is now in the express Office
awaiting a claimant.

BIG GRAY II OFF, WINS,
"BATHHOUSE JOHN" TRIUMrHS OVER
REFORM IN CHICAGO.

GBy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRGBt NE.l
Chicago. April 1.-One OF the most hotly con-
tested municipal elections in the history Of Chi
cago came to a close this evening after siren
,lous campaign of six weeks. 1t a struggle
between The so-called reform element, as per
sonifed by the Municipal Voters League, and
the Gray Wolves" as the alleged corrupt alder
men are designated by the purity in politics
people. 1t resulted In an almost complete VIC
tory for the Gray Wolves" for nearly every
one of the pack returned by a plurality
sufficient to insure him clear title TO his
seat in the City Council
- In the fierce struggle that was waged the
power. influence and finances Of the reformers
were mainly directed to defeating John ] Cough
lin better known as "Bathhouse John To
beat him the Municipal Voters League ex-
hausted every effort, feeling that if he alone Of
the whole pack of Gray Wolves was defeated
II would mean the downfall Of the gang
But the ''Bathhouse" that picturesque in
dividual who dominates politically the richest
ward in any of the big American cities, came
forth from the hardest battle ever fought by a
candidate in the First Ward with 1900 votes
TO spare 'Bathhouse John" Coughlin is now
the winner of the greatest victory OF his life
David L. Frank, his opponent. the candidate of
the Municipal Voters League, failed to develop
the strength that was expected In the lodging
house precincts the highly respectable candldale
in it at all IN the cnlel SlIh Sto'
ing precincts, where it was predicted tlat
'Rathhouse" would go down in inglorious de-
feat the Big Gray Wolf" got more votes than
his most sangune friends counted on
The strife was fierce all day Strange police
men from other districts Were sent into the
TTirst Ward TO replace the bluecOats regularly
stationed there and who are supposed 10 be
friendly 10 Coughlin's interests. Besides, sixty
or more strapping athletes from the University
of Cbica 90 were stationed at the various polls
in the ward 10 overawe by muscular display lhe
.'toughs' Of the Tenderloin district. Yet IN
splte of all the former bathhouse rubber, VINO
noses as statesman, banker, song composer ana
heau in dress won notable victory, after a
campaign in which some Of the most eloquent
and effective speakers OF the city, hired by the
reformers had denounced him in the open as
"a daylight rohber and buffoon"
The "Bathhouse' appreciated the full erect o.
his victory by disappearing from his usu'I
haunts after the count was over, thus escaping
the touches and importunities Of his loyal
adherents in the levee district , -,
with Coughlin also returned to the oonhc ,
such other leaders of the Gray wolves as
.T3lind Billy" Kent Novak Stanley kuhZ,
tommy Powers and Tom" Carey
Election interest was in the questions OF the
referendum abolition of town organizations ana
nublic ownership of street railways and gas ana
electric light utilities, which were carried bE an
overw heIming vote being simply an expression
of sentiment by the voters.
