NEW PLATFORM
At THE |. & {.
Company Getting Ready Fer the
Erection of New Depot
In Spring.

The Lexington and Eastern Rail-
road company have just completed
the erection of new platform to be
used for loading and unloading
freight at their DEPOT on North Main
street. The new platform is the
first steps taken towards building the
long looked for new depot. The lat
ter will not be built. however, until
spring. But the fact that the pre-
liminary Improvements are being
made, is gratifying news to the pat
rons of the company here.
The new platform is only built up
to within twenty-five feet of the pres
depot. This was done on account
of the new building going to extend
twenty-five feet farther east than
the present one. The new platform
was built so that it would join the
new building.
The plans and specifications for
the new building have not been COM
pleted yet; but it is settled fact
that it will be built next spring.

GREAT BRITAIN
CHANGES FRONT
Secretary Grey Agrees tq| Conference
on Bulgaria With Other
Powers.

London, Oct. I'm. Iswolsky, the
Russian foreign minister, has sue
ceeded in impressing upon Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British secretary Of
foreign affairs. the necessity that not
only should conference Of the pow
ers be held to settle the crisis in the
near east, but that this conference
should take under advisement other
questions besides those involved in
the annexation by Austria of Bosnia
and Herzegovina and the declaration
of Bulgarian independence.
This change Of front on the part Of
Great Britain, which has caused
great surprise, was announced by the
foreign Office at the conclusion of a
long conference between Sir Edward
Grey and NJ. Iswolsky, after a meet
ing Of the cabinet in the morning, at
which Sir Edward set forth the posi-
ton he had taken and explained the
views Of the Russian foreign minis
ter. Sir Edwards secretary in max
ing the announcement said:
1T may be affirmed with certainty
that both ministers concur in the ne
cessity for a conference, and that the
pourparlers at the foreign Office, fol
lowing as they do on the Franco-Rus-
sian negotiations on the same sub
5ect, have smoothed away some Of
the difficulties which were in the way.
1t is now regarded as probable that
the latest events in the near east also
necessitate the charging OF the scope
Of the questions to be discussed at the
conference"
Further than this nothing could be
ascertained officially as to the ques-
tions M. Iswolsky desires TO include.
In fact, it is doubtful if it has been
decided what shall be taken up in adj
ditiOn to the two actions which
brought about the crisis, for it was
intimated that the pourparlers at the
British foreign office have net yet
been concluded, and may continue for
several days. NJ Iswolsky intended
to leave for Paris on Wednesday, but
he said that his departure would not
be possible until Thursday, and that
he might remain in London even
longer than that.
1t is doubted whether Russia is anx-
fous to reopen the Dardane,les for the
present, for If this is done it must be
for all nations, and Russia is not like
Iy to desire that while her fleet is so
weak. Besides, other treaties in adj
dition to the treaty of Berlin would
be involved.
The only point in her previous
stand Great Britain is continuing to
insist upon apparently Is that no mod
ification of a treaty can be permitted
without the consent of all parties to
that treaty, and at her proposal the
powers have Instructed their ambassa-
doris at Constantinople to reafirm
this principle What end can be
served by this is not stated by the
foreign office, but it can hardly be ex-
pected that either Bulgaria or Aus
tria-Hungary will consent to restore
the legal status in Bulgaria and Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina before the ques-
tons of independence and annexation
are considered, as the powers have
decided must be done with respect to
the island of Crete.

Newton Graham, an old man who

to answer a charge of assault and bat

a few remarks to this effect:
Henry Hull, the prosecuting witness.
came into Graham's place while drunk,
and used indecent language-the vilest
sort of indecent language-in the pres
ence of Graham's little daughter. Ora
ham elected him. The prosecution re-
marks that it was not necessary for
Graham to knock the man down and
then kick the stuffing out of him. Per-
haps not, BUT, when a man enters a
home or place of business, and deports
himself in the manner here testified to,
the proprietor, in the opinion of this
court is not required to handle the dis
turber with gloves. Graham is dis
charged-and I really ought to assess
the costs Of this case against the prose-
cutting witness"
over 60 years of age and in poor health,
landed on Henry Hull, a young man of
sound physical condition, and left him
a total wreck. Hull had used vile Ian
guage in the presence of Graham's 49,
year-old daughter, and the old man re-
scented it. The police arrested Graham,
who entered a plea of guilty in police
court and received a fine of So Hull,
who soon recovered from his beating,
then took his sore face before the coun-
ty attorneys assistant, and got a war
rant against Graham for assault and

for routine work. the first being to

business other than that embraced In
the call Of the governor should be
transacted during the extraordinary
session
Senator Getty, of Wyandotte, who is
correctly reported to have 81 bills to
introduce as a starter, objected to the
resolution, which he said should not be
acted upon until consultation could
be had with the governor. He cited
the fact that at the last session many
bills of local nature were sldetrackeo
to make way for more important meas
ures and left it to be understood that
some of these would be brought up for
consideration. He trusted no action Of
the kind proposed would be taken Sen
ator Dolley objected to the considera-
ton of the resolution. as did also Sen
ator Noftzger, the latter on the ground
that it's adoption might interfere with
the per diem, and it went over.
