ENJOINED BOND ISSUE.
One Million Dollars of Railroad
Bonds About to be Issued by the
CITY of Nashville Enioined on Ac-
count of Illegal Voting.

Nashville. Tenn, June Eth issu-
ance of $1,000, coo of bonds by the city
of Nashville in aid Of the Tennessee
Central railroad, has been temporarily
enjoined by Judge Clark of the United
States district court. The tax payers
voted to issue the subsi iy about two
years ago and the proposition carried
by eleven votes. The validity OF the
election was at nee attacked and the
litigation has been pending ever since
AT the last session of the legislature an
act was passed 10 obviate ony latent
and apparent defects in the voting Of
the subscription, and Judge Clark
holds that the law was curative. inso-
far as it applied to any clerical errors,
but that it was insufficient and power
less to validate an illegal ballot. Judge
Clark ordered that proof be taken or
the number Of illegal ballots cast, and
couns for the compliments insist that
they can show that 700 illegal votes
were polled, or more than enough TO
overthrow the subscription.

Those congressman who were making
such fine records in the establishment
of free rural delivery routes IN their
districts are likely to have n back-set. II
seems that Mr.. Machen. of the free de-
livery bureau had a great many close
friends among members of the house.
These got routes established all over
their districts. Mr.. Machen seems to
have gone it blind in the establish
ment OF such outes for his friends and
to have greatly exceeded the allowances
Uncle Sam made him for such purpose.
Consequently many of these routes Will
have to be discontinued. Then you will
hear a howl from the people and abuse
of those congressman who heretofore
were so Landed for their efficiency IN
securing more facilities for their con-
~StituentS.

Demand for Boilers.

Dawson. March l3.-The prediction is made that within the next several months the demand for big boilers ir the klondike will be as heavy if not heavier than ever before in the history of the camp. The small boilers are scarcely wanted in any part of the camp any longer.
 Two hundred boilers are said to have been in Dawson at the close of naviga- tion last fall. We'll informed dealers declare there are no more than twenty remaining here today. The others have been sold and taken out to the creeks.
 Two hundred thousand dollars worth of boilers. 1t is said by an authority, are being built on the outside for the klondike market.
 In addition to the boilers which will be brought to the camp, the heavy ma chinery will raise the aggregate value of mining equipment for the klondike the coming season to the neigh borhood of S500. 900 at leat.
