next day was the defeat Of Blaine and
the nomination of Hayes. "And now"
continued Mr. Douglas, whenever Gin
cinnati puts in bid for the republican
convention. there is always a Joker
who hobs up and asks If there is any
danger of the lights going out at the
crucial moment, which always causes
a laugh that means defeat to Cincin-
natl"
The proposed new charter was de-
feated Tuesday at the polls, the vote
being 1923 for and s.174 against. In
order to adopt 1886 votes were neces-
sary. The total vote cast was slightly
over $4,000. only a few hundred over
third of the total registration OF the
city. This evidences the very small
interest taken in the project by the
vast majority of voters. The charter
also carried the Second and Fifth by
a narrow margin. The First ward was
overwhelmingly opposed to the mea-
sure as was also the Eleventh, Twelfth
and Seventh. Bogus dodgers were
scattered about the city in great pro-
fusion late Tuesday afternoon and un-
doubtedly materially influenced the
workingman's ballot. Who is respon-
sible for the issuing of these dodgers
cannot be ascertained. The result of
Tuesdays election undoubtedly means
the permanent overthrow of a new
charter movement. While there is
nothing in this decision which would
prevent new trial at the polls, it is
doubtful if the promulgators of the
movement will again put their mea-
sure before the citizens.
The wedding of Miss May Callahan
and Julius Rebholz took place at 10

Father TyrreII Back AGAIN,

The New York Sun of August SO
states that Father Geo. Tyrrel has
submitted to the Holy See and is again

This good news seems to be the
more reliable since a letter received

 The court has been thronged with relatives and friends of both the de- ceased and the defendant ever since the trial started and indications are that the case will hardly reach the jury in time for verdict before late Sat urday night.
 While the main cause of the killing has not yet been brought out, 1t has been intimated by several witnesses that bad feeling between Gray and young Shipp existed because of certain obscene letters Gray Is said to have written Virgie ShIpp, sister of the defendant.
 The Killing occurred near the corner schoolhouse just after a singing and Sunday School lesson.
