ing the argument of Crippen's attor-
ney and the crown representatives
this afternoon decided that there was
no ground for a new trial.
Crippen's attorneys announced to-
day that their next step would be to
ask the home Office either to COM
mute the sentence to life imprison-
ment or to grant a pardon to the
prisoner.
1t is, however, considered most
unlikely that any power will inter-
vene to save Crippen.
Crippen had evidently expected
the dismissal of his appeal, and had
steeled himself to receive the YER
dict. When it was annoupnced that
no new trial would be granted, Grip
pen stood up, silent, but the express
sion of abject despair on his face
showed that he had resigned himself
to his fate.
London, Nov. THE date for the
execution of DR.. H. H. Crippen, the
convicted murderer of his wife, Belle
Gilmore Crippen, to-day was post
poned from tomorrow until Novem-
Der 23, by the home Office.

Up to Green River Growers
to Speak.
DID NOT GET PRICE WANTED
But Samples Will be Easier to
Fill, Says Association
Secretary.
TO DECIDE NEXT SATURDAY

The president of the Green River
Tobacco Growers Association, in an
nouncing the sale of the tobacco
pooled with US, also issued a call for
the poolers to meet and pass upon
the sale made by the board of con-
troll.
Meetings will be held at the court
house in Daviess county, at Calhoon,
Mclean county, and at Narrows, in
Ohio county, on Saturday, November
/ 2 at 1 o'clock.
We wish To say, furthermore, this
is not a sale until confirmed by the
people, and if not satisfactory, come
together on the above date and OK
press yourselves.
What the Board of Control of the
Green River Tobacco Growers AS
ISOLATION is trying to do is to serve
the tobacco growers who pool their
tobacco with this organization.
AS we said before, in an article
that was published in the papers, We
had no fight to make with any other
organization and we still say the
same, and we believe the farmers Of
the Green River district who pool
their tobacco with the Green River
Tobacco Growers Association are
M h.
pies and hear the proposition ex-
planned to them, to pass upon the sale
submitted by the board without be-
ing instructed by any other Organi-
cation.
While we did not get $40, the
price we wanted, we feel we have
samples this year that will be a great
deal easier to fill than they were last
and any one that knows anything
about selling tobacco knows the
price can be raised by lowering the
sample just the same as by raising
the price and having a better quail
ty of tobacco this year than last,
and with samples that are not as
hard to fill, we are sure of a much
better average than last year.
Furthermore, it is no trouble to
say what we ought to have or what
we would like to do, but the best we
could do has been done, and it is a
plain business proposition. If you
are not satisfied with it, turn it down
and If you are, come out and say so
and go to stripping and delivering
your tobacco the next season. Don't
forget the date and speak for your
selves. Very respectfully,
WALTER ATHERTON, Sec'y.

THESE TWO CANDIDATES.
WORKED FOR EACH OTHER

Muneic, Ind, Nov. 5.-"Any gol-
derned party that didn't have any
more sense than to nominate me for
the position of Justice ought to see
elected a man like Joseph Zehner,
even though he is a Democrat"
That is the kind of a stump
speech Isaiah Duddleston, Republic
an candidate for Justice of the
Peace in Delaware Township, this
county, has been making. He has
been working hard for the election
of his opponent, Joseph Zehner, and
Mr.. Zehner has been working just
as hard to try to elect the Republic
an candidate.
The campaign has become so
warm that both have been indulglng
in personalities-each decrying his
own abilities and lauding his oppo-
nent. The campaign is no joke with
the two candidates, although it af-
fords humor for the entire county,
as the Office pays little and would
interfere with the business interests
of either of the candidates.

BURNED TO DEATH
IN A LIVERY STABLE
Before He Could be Rescued -
Loss Included Building
- and Horses.

Shelbyville, KY, Nov. 6.-Fire,
which was discovered at 2 o'clock
this morning, believed to have been
Of incendiary origin, destroyed the
large frame livery and boarding sta
BILE conducted by Allen & Hughes,
on Clay street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets, besides laying several
adjoining cottages in ashes. Robert
Townsend, the white nightwatchman,
was burned to death in the Office of
the stable, and William Allen, one of
the proprietors, escaped only after
being badly burned. Twenty-siX
head of horses were burned to death,
besides a hearse belonging to the
Shannon Undertaking Company, and
a large number of other vehicles.
Almost the entire structure was
$blaze when the fire was discovered
by a negro. He gave the alarm and
succeeded in awakening two white
men who were asleep In the ONCE.
Mr.. Allen and Townsend, the night
Waterman, were sleeping in the Of
fee on, the left side of the entrance.
Allen was finally, awakened and ia
ken from a window of the Office. He
was badly burned about the face,
neck and hands. Before the rescu-
ers could get to Townsend, lot of
corn, which was in a crib immediate
ly over the office, fell through into
the Office and the flames burst out
the door and window and drove the
rescuers back.
Townsend's badly charred body
was taken from the ruins shortly af-
ter daylight, and removed to the un'
dertaking establishment of Shannon
& Co., where it was placed in a cask-
ct.
The stable and several adjacent
cottages, which were occupied by ne
groes, were all of frame, and the
flames quickly licked them up.
The stable was owned by James F.
Middleton and the burned cottages
adjoining were the property of his
sister, Mrs. Robert A. Campbell. The
property loss is between $4,000 and
$4,000. The Allen & Hughes loss on
horses, vehicles and livery outfit,
$4,000 to $4,000, partly insured.
The Shannon Undertaking Compa-
ny's loss is $3.50 to $1,000; insur-
ance $500. Numerous citizens, who
kept their horses and rigs at the
stable, suffered total loss, with no
insurance.

New York elects Dix (Dem.) by
10000; Harmon, (Dem.) of Ohio,
goes in by $4,000; New Jersey, Con-

States of the East go Democratic by
whooping majorities. Indiana is re-
ported to be safely Democratic. Mil
Ter (Dem.) defeats Bingham (Rep.-
fusion candldate) for Appellate
Judge in the Louisville district by
safe majority.
The two precincts of Hartford
give a Democratic majority of ten,
whereas last year they gave a ma
jority of "a for the Republicans.
Rosine, the banner Republican pre-
cinct of Ohio county, this year gave
only ten majority for the G. o. p, a
striking contrast from the Republic
an majority Of 80 last year. IN re-
cent elections it has gone as high
as $50 Republican. Centertown
gives the largest Democratic major
ity (57) of any precinct in the
county.

At a late hour of going to press
last night, everything looked exceed
ingly rosy for the Democratic party
Throughout the country. Every fresh
report brought in good news for
Democrats. It seems to be virtual
ly a Democratic landslide, especial
ly in the East.
One of the most remarkable oc-
currences of election day was that
our own Ohio county, after a num-
Der of years of large Republican ma
jorities, goes Democratic by at least
200. This is all the more surpris-
ing and gratifying from the fact that
at the last few elections the county
has gone Republican by from four to
six hundred. Johnson and Settle
ran almost NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
son slightly in the lead. Johnson
carried Nelson-his home county
by 1888. and his district by 5000.
Judge Settle carried his home coun-
ty of Warren by about 700 and his
district by 5000.
Ollie James in the First, Stanley
in the Second, Thomas in the Third,
Sherley in the Fifth, Rouse in the
Sixth, Cantrill in the Seventh, Helm
in the Eighth, Fields in the Ninth,
all Democrats, carry their districts
by handsome majorities. The race

OPEN BIRD SEASON
Is NEARLY AT HAND

The bird law will be out on Tues
day, November Is, and the lovers of
this kind of sport will be out in
large numbers this season. The
quail crop is reported to be very
short, which is due to the heavy
rains early in the summer, when
most of the old birds were drowned.
The rains came just about Matching
time, and the young birds were also
caught during the heavy floods. In
some parts of the county, where the
floods were more severe. very few
quail have been seen this season,
and what few are left will probably
be given their death sentence as
soon as the law expires.
It is known to every bird hunter
that the quail crop is unusually
short, and for that reason there will
be no delay in getting into the fields
as soon as the law is out. There
will be a general slaughter of the
game, and for the first few days the
sport will be fine, but later on it will
be on the drag, for the reason that
the remaining birds will be badly
scattered. The open season expires
January 1, 1911, and after that time
there is a heavy penalty for killing
quail in Kentucky.

Lucey Believes Oil Will
Soon Receive Bad Setback

undermining it and is doing wrong
where there should be nothing put
good.
"As the outlook becomes less glowing
investors will become frightened and
money will tighten. When depression
arrives those who have legitimate Oil
properties and are competent to handle
them must suffer along with the rest
for want of capital. The moneyed man
will have lost confidence and the indus
trv as a whole must suffer In the low
tide of the oil business several years
ago there was no legitimate cause for
conditions as they existed at that time.
Capital was timid from its experience
during the previous times and instead
of coming to the rescue and placing the
industry on a sane and substantial
basis, as would have been easily per-
mitted for years capital could not be
interested in oil, even though it were
a perfectly legitimate business. lr-
reparable hardship was worked by
overzealousnesss and I fear that much
the same state Of affairs is slowly
coming around at the present time.
"Flaring advertising of wildcat com
panies and sensational accounts of
explorations are arousing public inter
est in the oil industry to a fever heat
which the industry at the presnt time
cannot endure and still maintain its
equilibrium"
