CHAPTER xxx.
Wang a. a Witness.

This tragic occurrence occasioned
tremendous excitement on the train
luxus, which was stopped at the next
station and surrounded by a band of
Cossacks. Here 1t was kept for three
days until squad of police and de-
tectives could be hurried to the scene
from Moscow. Numerous arrests
were made and many of the passen-
gers were questioned separately.
Wang was one Of these examined.
He was taken into a small. bare room
on the second floor OF the station.
where sat shrewd old man at a pine
table. He was fianked by two younger
officers. while stenographer. stylo-

THESE TWO CANDIDATES
WORKED FOR EACH OTHER

Muneic, Ind, Nov. 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 INDUCING
in personalities-eac 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.

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
Elmore Crippen, to-day was post
poned from tomorrow until Novem-
Der 90, by the home Office.

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
large number of other vehicles.
Almost the entire structure was
ablaze when the fire Was discovered
by a negro. He gave the alarm and
succeeded in awakening two white
men who were asleep in the office.
Mr.. Allen and Townsend, the night
Waterman, were sleeping in the Of
flee 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, a 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 a total loss, with no
insurance.

At 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. 1t seems to be virtual
ly a Democratic landslide, especial
ly in the East.
One of the most remarkable &C.
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 INSTRUMENTATION
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

by handsome majorities. The race
between Bird (Dem.) and Langley

their old standby Butler by a great
ly reduced majority. Bob Thomas
carried his district by 1900.
New York elects Dix (Dem.) by
10000; Harmon, (Dem.) of Ohio,
goes in by $4,000; New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts and other
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

as $50 Republican. Centertown

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
% at / o'clock ......... .-..-... .-...........
We wish to say, furthermore, this
is not 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
competent, when they see tho sam
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
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.

OpFN 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.
1t 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 /, 1911, and after that time
there is a heavy penalty for killing
quail in Kentucky.

that the fault could not have been

Superintendent Eggleston said few

He showed that the State would contri-

from the national government and the
other $4,000 from other sources for

Y. P. |. ARRANGES
SIEVE RAL MEETS
Track Events With Carolina,
Washington and Lee
and A. & M.

Blacksburg. Va, March 2.-There is
every indication that track athletics
Will boom this season. The dates With
the University of North Carolina and
Washington and Lee are fixed, the for
mer to be held in Blacksburg and the
latter in Lexington. Manager Skinner
announces that he has completed ar
engagements with A. and NJ. our old
time rivals, for an outdoor meet to be
held here. This should be the hardest
event OF the season. for it is a Welt
known fact that a. and NJ. puts out
track teams which are winners. They
VIII send at least dozen athletes
here. and V. P. I. will have to strain
every. effort to capture the points.
Medals for each event will be struck,
and everything is going to be carried
off In proper style. With three meets
this season, Miles Field should see
some collegiate records smashed. There
is a woeful lack of sprinting material
on hand, says Manager Skinner, but
other branches look good. The A. and
NJ. meet, however promises some fine
features to lovers of track athletics
