at Fort Benton tomorrow, before
Judge Leslie. who has been requested
by Judge Tattan to preside at the
trial, but the application for the
taking of the deposition will delay
the hearing. However, it is expected
that the deposition will be received
in such time that the contest may be
determined before the time for the
taking of Office by Mcdonald, if he
should be adjudged qualified.
It is alleged by Buckley that Nc
Donald was born on Prince Edwards
island (British) and that he has never
become a citizen of the United States.
1t appears that III 1893, while McDon-
aid was resident Of Fergus county,
he went before the clerk of the dis
trict court at LeWistONn, then be-
lieying that he was born on Prince
Edwards island, and he then declared
his intention to become a citizen of
the United States, renouncing alleg-
lance to every foreign power and
particularly renouncing his allegiance
to Queen Victoria. He never secured
final citizenship papers-in other
words, never took the action that is
required before an alien may become
a citizen Of the United States.
After Mcdonald had been nomi-
mated for sheriff, Buckley was advised
Of the showing made by the records
in Fergus county and also learned
that Mcdonald had never secured his
final papers. Believing that Melon
aid is not a citizen, Buckley shortly
after the election, contested his right
to hold the office. If Mcdonald should
be adjudged ineligible, Buckly would
hold over until after the next general
election, in 1906.
1t is understood that, Mcdonald |
claims that, after he had taken out |
his first papers at Lewistown, he
learned, for the first time, that he |
was not born on Prince Edwards |
island, but was born in the United
States, at CharlestOWn, Mass. Having |
learned this. he claims, he was advised |
that it was not necessary for him to
take out final papers, as the fact that
he was born in United States would
make him citizen, unless he had at
some time renowned allegiance to
the United States to reside when he
was boy; that he never renowned
allegiance to the United States. and
that he never attempted to claim or
exercise the rights of citizenship of H
my other country.
Tt is understood that Mcdonald
expects to show by his sister, who is
considerable older than he, that he
vas born in Cherlest own, Mass, while II
lis mother was on a visit there, the
sister being also there at the time
There is no record of his birth at
JharlestoWn, Massachusetts. at thatl 81
line not requiring the keeping of
7ital statistics; and if the sister
hould give the expected testimony,
t is difficult to see how Buckley could
efute it, for it is said there was no
ecOrd at that time of births that
occurred on Prince Edwards island.
The only question of fact that
eems to be involved in the case
bending is whether or not Mcdonald
vas born in Massachusetts; if he was

The Catholic Church Fair.

The ladies of st. Monica's Catholic
church congregation have made final
arrangements for fair which will
be held on the ground floor of the
Welch building on Front street on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, January 26th, 9th, and
28th.
The object of the fair is to raise
money for the church-money to
wipe out a portion of the debt which
has been on the church ever since
its completion, work which was fol-
lowed by the disastrous freeze which
brought ruin to so many.
Father Barrie the new pastor of
st. MOnicas has been greatly wor-
ried by this debt and he believes the
time is at hand when the church
can throw off heavy weight of it
and enter upon an era of greater
growth both spiritually and mate
rally. The fair is to be the culmi-
mating effort in the work of debt
unloading, and it is hoped that all
citizens will come out and assist
with the encouragement of their
presence so praiseworthy an object.
There will be fancy booths, cake
and cream tables, and supper will be
served each evening by the ladies
There will also be "chances" for
making even. The occasion should
prove a season of rare social enjoy
ment. Let everyone remember the
date, the worthy object in view, the
supper, the ''chances" to make good,
and go prepared to enjoy three
pleasant evenings.

Death Came Suddenly.


Cornelius Carman, ST. was stricken
with apopleXy and met instantaneous
death at an early hour on Tuesday
morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carman had just en-
tered their carriage at their home on
the Heights for the purpose of driving
to the 6:15 train of the &. S. & F..
Railway which they were to take for
Putnam Hall. When in the roadway
and not more than 20 feet from the
gate, Mr.. Carman fell forward to the
ground. He was dead when he
struck the ground. His physician
has pronounced the immediate cause
of death to be apopleXy.
Mr.. Carman was one of the best
known men in Palatka and was held
in universal esteem. He was mas
ter painter and up to three weeks
ago was employed in the shops of the
Florida East Coast Railway at st.
Augustine. He gave up his work on
account of a severe cold and came
home for rest. Only the evening
before his death lie had done some
lettering on launch. He had made
no complaint of feeling ill.
Cornelius Carman was u native of
Staten Island, but he came to Flori-
da early in life, making his home in
Jacksonville, and where his marriage
occurred with the lady who is now his
widow. At the breaking out OF the
civil war Mr.. Carman entered the
Confederate service as member of
the First Florida battery and he saw
active service through all the four
years of that bloody strife. He was
So years of age.
Mr.. Carman has resided in Palatka
since 1885. He owned a summer
home and orange grove at Putnam
Hall, which he sold last Monday to
Mr.. Maxwell, and at the time of his
death was on his way to that place to
superintend the removal of personal
property
The funeral was held at the family
home ON the Heights at 3 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon and was large
ly attended. Mr.. Carman was a
member of the Veteran Association
Blue and Gray and also of st. Johns
Lodge. X. of P. These organizations
attended the funeral in bodies and
three members from each Organiza-
ton were detailed as pail bearers.
Those from the Veteran association
were S. j. Kennerly, Joseph Price
and John E. Marshall. Those from
the X. of p. were L. A. Smith, H. A.
Davis and Eugene Gay.
Twenty-Five of Mr., Carman's ASSOC

A very satisfactory drill was held
by the local company of militia
at the Armory last Tuesday evening.
The time was devoted principally to
practicing the bayonet exercise, in
which the company is reaching the
top notch of perfection. At this
meeting Privates Ernest Neck, Will
son Boozer and Meyers Albro were
appointed Lance Corporals by the
commanding officer. The competi-
tive contest for the company medal
was announced for Tuesday next, on
which night an inspection was also
ordered.
The government steamer LeReve
which has been engaged in spraying
hyacinths in the st. Johns river dur
ing the past year left for Jackson
Vile early in the week. The gov
eminent appropriation of 100000 for
killing hyacinths had been exhaust
ed, and there was nothing for Capt.
Harllee and his gallant crew on the
LeReve to do but quit. During the
year that the spraying has been go
ing on Palatka has been headquar-
tiers for this boat, and during that
time our people have formed n warm
attachment fol- Capt. Harllee and
Lieut.. Guy Sackett, and their de-
parture is universally regretted.
In the United States District Court
at jacksonville last Monday Judge
Locke entered an order oyerruling
the demurrer of the city of Palatka
to the bill in chancery of the Palatka
Water Works company and gave the
city until the first Monday in Febru-
ary to file it's answer. This means
that the case will not be thrown out
on any technical point, and that the
case will finally be heard on its mer-
fits, unless the city should appeal
from the ruling on the demurrer tC
the U. S. Supreme Court, which its
attorneys announced at the argu-
ment of the demurrer they would do
in case the ruling was adverse.

ciates in the railway shops at st.
Augustine also came over to the fu-
neral and followed the body to its
final resting place.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. f. H. Richey of st. Marks
Episcopal church, of which deceased
was member. At the grave in West
View cemetery, after the service OF
the church, the X. of p. burial cere-
mony was also conducted by the otli-
GERS of st. Johns Lodge.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and five children, four sons and one
daughter. His eldest son is the well
known Lemon street dry goods mer-
chant.
Mr.. Carman was highly esteemed
in Palatka and his death is cause Tor
profound sorrow as well as universal
sympathy for the afflicted family, to
whom he was ever the loving nus
band and father.
