DR.. Caldwell.
Well Known Citizen Explains Assess.
mont on Hospital site.

DR.. S. B. Caldwell, who is selling
the city the greatest portion of the
property on which the new city hos
pital will be built, stated that the no.
tion Of the council in ordering the so.
licitor TO take steps TO collect taxes
on the property for greater figure
than assessed appeared to him to have
a serious bearing on him and his eli.
entg.
DR.. Caldwell does not consider II a
very nice compliment and took the
trouble to explain TO sun reporter
this morning what good proposition
he had made the city.
THE property sold the city for
this new hospital is divided into elev.
en- lots and is assessed at 81 $50, lesv.
ing the assessment Of the Grshsm lot
at $3.50, n the total assessment OF the
property amounts 20 1900 The
councilman who brought the matter
up in the council and thinks the city
has not been rightly treated should
have taken more pains TO investigate
the matter. a. did not sell an option
on this property, bu, gave tho city
the option, which means n loss Of 500
= month to me. Moreover, the lots in
the low portion Of the block contain
about $500 worth Of gravel which /
could have sold AID / have turned
down many offers for splitting up the
ground and selling It in lots, but did
not because thought some day the
property might sell for a factory site.
The hospital could not be better 10.

sell the city eleven lots for $4,000
while she has TO pay the Graham hoirs
81. 80 for one lot, just one twelfth Of

SMALL BLAZE
ALDEN KNITTING MILLS NOT
DAMAGED, HOWEVER.

A small blaze started in the oxidiz-
ing rooms of the Alden Knitting Mills
on South Eighth street last evening
about 1880 O'Clock, but was speedily
extinguished with little damage.
The blaze originated from hot box
and the employees Of the mill put it
out with water before the fire depart
ment arrived. The oxidizing rooms
are occupied by huge wicker cylinders
into which the hose and other articles
of manufacture are placed for color
ing and lint comes from the goods.
The lint is what caught fire and so
speedy was the work in extinguishipg
the blaze that no damage was done.

INDICTED in HASTE.
Unusual Action TakeH In The
Trial of L. W. Holland.
Grand Jury Offers True Bill Pre-
ViOusly PrepaTed---Case
Continued.

Benton, Ky, June pa sensa.-
ton has developed in the case of
Sheriff L. Walter Holl1na, for kill
ing Hardy Keys at Murray, and
which was sent on a change of
venue to this county and called in
the Circuit Court yesterday after
noon before Special Judge Eli H.
Brown, of 0wensboro. Unusual
Developments of last evening were.
followed by almost equally interest.
ing proceedings today.
In the court yesterday afternoon
the prosecution sprung a surprise!
by moving to dismiss the Galloway
Indictment, charging Holland with
manslaughter, ard to submit the
case to the Marshall county grand
jury then in session. The defense
objected but Special Judge Brown
sustained the prosecution motion
and the Cook indictment was dis
missed. The case was given to the
grand jury and after it retired the
defense moved to dismiss the pres
ent.grand jury and empanel a new
one. While the motion was being
made and within two or three min
utes after the grand jury retired,
that body returned with a new in
dictment charging Holland With
wilful murder.
Such quick action was a surprise
to the defending lawyers, but they
soon had information that the new
Indictment was practically found as
the result of hearing witnesses last
Thursday, before the trial began,
and was written and signed before
the manslaughter indictment was
dismissed.
The defense promptly objected to
the indictment and insisted on a
new grand jury. Judge Brown
overruled the defense and adjourned
court until this morning.
After court opened today he
asked the lawyers if they were
ready for trial. Tbs prosecution
ready, but the defense
moved to dismiss the new indict-
ment on the ground that the pro-
ceedings were irregular in the ex-
RENE. This motion was overruled
and Hollands lawyers then asked
or continuance and it was grant
ID until the fourth Monday in Sep.
ember.
The prosecution argued against
he motion for continuance, trying
o force the defendant into trial, but
trong and sufficient reasons were
ct up for a continuance.

PARKER'S CHANCES
Seem to Be- Very Bright For
Success.
Can Only Be Defeated by an Or
ganized Combination.

New York, June 29.--WIth the St.
Louis convention less than week
off, statisticians are busy, most Of
them giving Parker the best of it.
All agree that there are many
doubtful States and that the votes
from these States would be sufficient
TO determine the result, but the
Parker men fnd much comfort in
their figuring.
They claim SIS on the first ballot,
and were willing to concede Hearst
only 2O9. Not counting Puerto
Rico, the admission of whose dele
cation is uncertain, it takes 664 to
nominate.
There are 2SS delegates instruct
ed for Parker, but his strength is
by no means indicated by this fig
ure, as in many of the Southern
States where it is not customary to
instruct, there is strong Parker
sentiment. This is admitted even
by the Hearst forces.
The full vote for 994 delegates is
accounted for as follows:

CHERRIES CHRISTMAS EVE.
Miss Patterson's Condition Is Improved
Saws Physician.

New York, Dec. 24-Nan Patterson
passed a cheerless day before Christ.
mas in her cell in the Tombs prison.
The grips and suit case packed SO
carefully two days ago in anticipation
of acquittal of the charge of murder
of Caesar Young, were re-opened and
one by one the trinkets and knicx.
knaeks were returned to their former
places. She has given up all hope OF
the Christmas at home in Washington
with her aged parents and brother and
sisters. Even the possibility of OBJ
tanning bail which her attorneys have
suggested, brought no hope of the re.
union on Christmas day, as she be.
lieved that much time would be neces-
sary to complete the arrangements
and bring about her release even if
1t were ultimately successful.
Miss Patterson semed in much bet
ter condition tcSay both physically
and mentally than yesterday. 1t was
only with the greatest efforts that
the hysteria following her last appear
ance in court was controlled, but she
fell asleep about midnight and rested
well When she arose this morning
there was a sheaf of letters and tele-
grams awaiting her. One telegram
read
Your friends know you are limo

Christmas one can have behind prison
walls
