on Thursday.
PROBABLE VOTE MARCH 10
IT Is LEARNED THAT THE DE-

NESS A POLITICIAN OF NATION
Al REPUTATION.

Albany, n. Y. Feb. 26.-The end of
the Aids -Conger bribery investigation
is in sight. The attorneys for Senator
lothian p. Aids declared today that
they expect to finish their case by
Thursday and the rebuttal examina-
tions by the lawyers for the accuser,
Senator Conger, will probably carry
the senate hearing through Friday,
leaving the summing up for the first
part of the following week. There is
little doubt felt today that the vote
viii be taken on March 10.
At the same time there is slight
probability that the remaining hear
ings as. to Conger's bribe taking
charge against Aids will follow an
even way. 1t was learned today that
the defense is prepared to summon to
the witness stand one of the foremost
politicians in the state-a man of ma
tional reputation.
Won't Divulge Plans.
Martin w. Littleton and Lewis B.
Carr, Aids counsel. refused to di-
vulge their plans and the fact that an
1nkling Of their intentions to call as a
witness for the defense political
chieftain appeared to cause them an
noyance.
The name Of this star witness has
not yet appeared in the case. howev-
er, it is admitted. This eliminates from
conjecture ex-senator Thomas c. Platt
and Col. w. G. Dunn. former chairmen
OF the republican state committee
1t was intimated today also that the
prosecution has a surprise up it's
sleeve. to be held till the last moment
but this rumor was not generally given
credence among the legislators re-
naming over the week end in the
state capital.
Two Handy Holidays.
The forces that are contending for
the position of senate majority leader
and the presidency pro TEN. vacated
by Aids. are taking advantage of the
Friday to Tuesday holiday to whip
their plans into chape, preparatory to
the conference of republican senators
called for Tuesday
Senator Davis of Buffalo, who pre-
sides at the Aids hearing, is still
generally regarded as the man most
likely to get the place, but the sup
porters of Senator Cobb are no less
confident.

Death Of a Former Resident.

Citizens of Columbia were surprised
and grieved last Tuesday when they
read in the Louisville morning papers
that DIR. Melvin Rhorer was dead. The
end came at his home in Lexington at
4 O'Clock Monday morning the 9Th inst.
For number of years he was resi-
dent of Columbia and had large ac-
quaintance and fine practice through
out the county. His first wife, who
was Miss Virginia Weatherford, a
daughter of a prominent physician of
Louisville, died in this place. Several
years after the death of his first wife
he was married to Miss Sue Ray, of
Edmonton. who. with two sons and one
daughter survive him.
The writer knew the deceased well
and occasionally received letter from
him, the last one about six months ago,
in which the Doctor stated ne expect
ed to visit Columbia tins summer. He
was a very companionable man, one
full of life, and he is often quoted here
by former associates who were fond of
his society.
The deceased was member of the
Maxwell street Presbyterian Church,
Lexington, but the funeral services
were conducted by Rev. 4. r. Kasey,
of Louisville, whose wife was a niece
of the deceased.
The two sons left are grown, in bust
ness, and it is our understanding are
doing well. The deceased age was re-
ported at 81 and that pulmonary trou-
bic caused his death.
