Contrary to these opinions Mississip-
pi courts have held that when statute
declares that all ballots shall be print
ed without a mark by which one tick
ct may be distinguished, a ballot which
contains mere printers dashes between
the names should be rejected.-Oglesby

On the point, however, of the mark
ing more names than offices to be fill
ed, our statute is contrary to the Cali
fornia laws, and this accounts for the
difference in practice. The difference
in statutes, when compared, deprives
that practice of being of value here.

JUDGE WEAVER
DEFINES POSITION

Judge Weaver in the following COM
munication shows that, instead of hav-
ing given an opinion strongly against
the Attorney Generals regarding bal
lots marked with surplus crosses, his
position upon the question formed by
a comparison of the California and
Hawaiian laws is rather contrary to
what the evening papers represent:
Editor Advertiser: The evening
papers have quoted my off-hand state
ment with regard to the practice in
California elections when ballots for
any office are marked with more cross
es than there are officers to be chosen.
The Star enormously quotes me as say
ing that I know of decisions on this
point. I did say that the practice in
California was to reject only the votes
for the office and not the whole ballot.
This was based upon a section of the
political code, 1902, which expressly
provides that "all names designated for
such office shall be rejected" I know
of no decisions on the point there. 1t
was the practice based on the code.
Our statutes are different, however,
Section Il of the rules and regulations
provides % that IF more names are
voted for on a ballot than there are
offices to be filled: or,-etc.
(2) IF a ballot contains any mark or
symbol whereby it may be identified,
or any mark or symbol contrary to the
provisions hereof; or,
IF a ballot, in any other way be
contrary to the provisions hereof, then
such ballot and all it contains must
be rejected"
If the ballot and all it contains is to
be rejected, in case it be contrary to
the first clause q, it is clear that our
statute allows no such liberal practice
as used in California.
On the point of the mark or symbol
for identification, (2) it has been re-

Nearly a Political Tragedy.

What might have been a serious local
disturbance, with a sorrowful ending,
was averted this morning by the
prompt action of one of our prominent
citizens.
About 10 a. m. a handful of poll
ticians were standing near the corner
OF King and Fort streets, discussing
the merits of their several candidates,
painting their virtues in glowing coll
ors, until one of their number took
offense at a supposed insinuation rela-
tive to a family skeleton. The discus
sion waxed very warm, several blows
were exchanged, and the argument
gave promise of being a lively one,
until bystander proposed that the
subject under discussion be submitted
to arbitration, and be peaceably set
tied, the warlike aspirants for political
laurels agreed, and Bath the Plumber
was called, and decided that the Doug
lass Patent Closet was the best or

The Fire in West End.

The burning of two frame houses
No 26S1 and 1888 Duke street exlenu-
ed Yesterday afternoon, was stated IN 'ne t
Gazette. An entire row OF dwellings, VI
similar construction was saved only after
tbe most stubborn work. The houses were
1 1c nearly mile beyond the corpora
ION limits of the city. When telephone
, T'e was received here stating that
l lnoo, houses we're burning the fire
dsnartment repaired promptly to the
I'D Of Duke street and awaited the
orders of Chief Pettey, who went to the
Gene of the blaze. The chief soon
realized that the firemen's services were
needed. and the Relief truck and
Hydraulion engine were sent out
The nearest fire plug was about eigh-
teen hundred feet distant, but the
new engine forced a sufficient stream
to confne the flames to the two houses
in which they originated. The fire is
said to have been caused by defective
Aue. The houses were owned by James
F. Elliot. and were occupied by Messrs.
Herbert J. Rose and Thomas Lynn and
their families. The occupants and
neighbors succeeded in saving nearly all
the contents of the houses.

The Accident on the Southern.

The wrecking of the Washington and
Southwestern vestibule limited train
No. 80 of the Southern Railway by
crashing into the rear end of a freight
train near Lynchburg early yesterday
morning was announced in the Gazette.
No. 80 was going down heavy grade
at the time. On seeing the freight
ahead of him, Engineer Chas. r.
Kenney reversed his engine and jumped:
As he struck the ground the front mail
car turned over on him, killing him in
stantly. The colored fireman was
slightly injured, and Postal Clerk Will
liam S. Fealey, of Washington, was
painfully bruised in jumping. The
freight had been on siding, and while
the engineer was getting orders in the
office the front portion of the train, with
the fireman and front brakeman on the
engine; seems to have become detached
from the rest of the train and rolled out
on the main track. When short dis
lance below the siding it was struck by
No. 80. A greater portion OF the con-
tents of the mail cars was saved, only
1000 letters being lost. The wreck oc-
Cured in a deep cut. None OF the
passenger coaches left the track and not
a single passenger was hurt.

Catching Eels.

Old fishermen say eels are by no means
as numerous in the river now as they
were some years ago. This is accounted
for from the fact that more determined
efforts are made to catch them at present
than heretofore. About dozen vessels
are now used on the Potomac in the
catching of cells, and large numbers are
trapped in what are known as eel pots
There is said to be ready sale for them
in the northern markets where smoked
eels are regarded as delieacy. Foralong
time this species of fish gave gillers con-
siderable trouble. They would follow
the nets and when shad became gilled
eels would eat their way into them,
devouring the roe, and should the shad
be allowed to remain in the net any
time nothing but the sides and backbone
would be left. 1t was a common occur
renee for an eel TO run out OF shad into
a boat while giller was taking the latter
from his net

Fire Alarms Last Night.

An alarm of fire was sounded bet
ten and eleven o'clock last night, caused
by the burning of the SCOT in the smoke
stack of Smoot & Co.'S, mill, on north
Lee street. The department responded
quickly, but the SCOT burned out without
damaging the property. Another alarm
was sounded later, which was also caused
by burning chimney of the residence
of Mr.. Luther Carter, HOB Prince
street. No damage resulted. Consid-
cradle excitement attended the second
alarm by the rivalry manifested by some
members of the steam fire engine COM
panies in attempting to secure certain
plugs. 1t proved to be a war of words,
however, and soon subsidized.
