THE WEED.
Heavy Receipts Both Loose and
in HOgsheads.

r. NJ. Woodbridge 81 Co., had an
other heavy sale OF the weed this
week and prices were fully up to
those of last week. Tobacco from
all over this and adjoining counties
made up the sales. Much of the
weed disposed of was very common
goods, but some medium to good
leaf was sold. Hogshead receipts
during the past week have been
heavy and continue to improve with
each day. About one hundred
hogsheads were sold on the breaks.
Reflections small. Prices remain
about the same as those reported
last week.

LOST BOTH LEGS.
Feet Frosted and AmputatiOn of
Limbs Necessary.

During the last severe spell Of
weather Lula Mccoy, a 15-year-old
colored girl living few miles south
of town, got her feet badly frost
bitten. She was removed to the
poorhouse shortly afterward, where
she has been cared for by the coun-
ty physician. Her injuries re-
fused to yield TO treatment, howev-
err. and fearing blood poisoning, it
was decided to perform an opera
ton. On Wednesday Drs. Jackson,
Sargent and Mcdaniel amputated
both of her limbs just below the
knee. She stood the operation well
and the chances for her recovery
are now considered good.

NEW TRIAL
Wanted by Men Convicted Of
COffey Murder.
Four Affidavits Filed in Support
of Claim That Juror Was
Disabled.

The attorneys for the defense on
Wednesday made motion and fled
their reasons for a new trial in the
case of John Woodruff and Francis
Drake, the men under life sentences
for the murder of officer Robt. H.
Coffey at Empire during the mining
troubles in October, 1901.
Four afidavits were filed in sup
port of the claim that Mr.. Geo. w.
Embry, one of the jurors in the case,
was disabled by reason Of illness.
1t is alleged that some of the wit
nesses remained in the court room
and heard a portion of the testi-
mony although rule had been es-
tabIished barring them from listen
ing to the evidence of other wit
nesses.
1t is further claimed that the
Commonwealth was allowed to in
troduce testimony of an improper
character, aud that the verdict
was contrary to the law and evil
dence in the case. The case will
be argued this morning.
The cases of Guy Reynolds, Jim
Merica and John Black, COL, under
indictment for the same offense,
will be continued until the June
term of court, as court will adjourn
tomorrow.

SURE WINNER.
Bottom Dropped Out of the
Opposition to Bush.
Will Carry Every County In
the District and Win
BY 1000 Votes.

1t is all over but the voting, the
counting and the shouting.
That Charlie Bush will be the
next nominee for Circuit Judge is as
sure as any future event can be.
The only possible danger is in
the over confidence of his friends
who regard his race already won.
There is not the shadow of a
doubt but that Christian county
will give him 1900 majority, and it
may go to 1900.
The canvass in South Christian
this week has demonstrated that in
no district in the county, excepting
Pembroke, is the opposition form
liable.
Polls are coming in from South
ern precincts and in the entire
Southern half Of the county there
are only 90 votes known to be
against Bush, and the most liber al
estimate possible will not give more
than $50 anti-Bush votes.
At Beverly Monday there were
about IS voters present and only
two were against Bush. At Howell
that night large crowd was pres
ent and it was six to one for Bush.
At Longview Tuesday the crowd
present was three to one for Bush
and not a dozen men in the district
are known to be against him. At
lGordon6eld that night out of "a
voters present all but four were for
Bush, and only eight voters are
against him in the entire district.
At Pembroke there were about
90 voters present and at least two
thirds of them were for Bush. AT
Fairview Wednesday night if there
was man in the crowd against
him, he did not make himself known
The speaking yesterday and last
night was at Casky and Perry
School House, from which no re,
, ports have been received, except
: that the crowd at Casky was small
The future speaking appoint
ments are in another column.
= There will be night speech al
t the Court House Monday night, as
the city people are anxious to hear
the Joint discussion,
In Other Counties.
Hon. J H. Coleman, of Murray,
was in town a few hours yesterday
on his way home from Louisville.
He reports Bush constantly gaining
strength in Galloway county and
| his friends are now claiming that
that county will give him 300 major
ity. A bet of SIS that both of the
Murray precincts Will go for Bush,
offered by a Bush man, has found
no takers.
--latest advices from Lyon county
are of the most encouraging charac-
ter. Bush made the county sure
for him by his recent canvass and
it is now only question of majority
He will spend several more days
there the third week in April and
his friends promise him at least 20C
majority.
Trigg county has not been thor.
oughly canvassed yet, but Bush is
making constant inroads on his op,
ponent. The canvass will be re-
sumed there on the 9th for a week
or more. and the county is conf
IDENTIFY expected to give Bush ma
ority,
Bush will come to Christian coun.
ty with a majority and his majority
in the district will be landslide.
1t is the most one-sided race ever
seen in Christian county. Nothing
but a political revolution can keep
Bush from winning by a majority
that will not fall short of 1000 votes
in the district.

Great Steel Tube with Automatic Doors
and Spiral Slide.

and Spiral Slide.
New York Commercial.
After years of agita ton, the govern
ment, by means of special congressional
appropriation. has installed fire escape
in the big federal appraisers warehouse
at Washington and Christopher streets
Those who expect to see the usual style
of outside fixtures such as adorn most
buildings In the city have been disap-
pointed, for in their place a great steel
tube, in shape like an ordinary smoke
stack, has been constructed within the
building, running from the ground floor
to the tenth story Of the structure.
Ansentrance I'M the form ora steel door
is provided to the tube on each floor.
while in the interior of the escape is
a spiral slide inclosed in a sheer steel
! cylinder six feet in diameter, with a
heavy angle iron ring at the bottom which
rests ON brick foundation six feet eight
inches in diameter and two feet deep. The
spiral slide Is made of soft box-annealed
steel securely and smoothly riveted to the
cylinders and supported in the center by
an iron stand pipe three inches inside
diameter. The stand pipe extends the
entire length of the escape, and has brass
hose connections at the bottom and top.
The escape is connected with the build
ing by iron runways, which are protected
with heavy wire ratings. All doors are

with half-oval iron. The entrance doors
have projecting frames, so that they can
open inward and not interfere with the
slide. These doors close automatically to
prevent the entrance Of smoke and heat
The exit doors open outward. A very
light pressure Of any object sliding against
it opens an automatic latch on these
doors. The slide comes within. eighteen
inches Of the ground. Escaping persons
get up as If rising from chair on reach
| ing the exit. 5z
A sheet steel roof covers the escape,
which keeps it nice and dry and free from
snow and ice, which are such menace to
life on all step escapes. The entire work
is mechanically and substantially con-
structed and painted with two coats of
best mineral paint. The escape is set be-
tween the windows SO as not to- obstruct
| ventilation and light.
