Kinsmen Didn't SeU It nnd Mow
There's n Lawsuit About It.
Lexington, Ky., November 2T.—A
suit has beon filed in the Anderson
county court in which Senator Darid B.
Hill, of New York, is prominenL The
suit is brought to have set aside a deed
to a tract of land in Andenon county
and divide it among certain heirs of
Morrison Osborne, who died years ago.
The defense will likely be that Osborne
had no title, and that the title of the
land in question and about nine hun
dred acres adjoining it is the property
of the Hill and Howling heirs, of New
York state, Senator Hill being the sole
heir of the Hill portion and jointly in
terested with the Bowlings in the own

The petition alleges that the constitu

shamelessly violated in the interest of
Jonh Gary Evans, depriving thousands
of voters of their right to select their

It is alleged that under the guise of

Washington, November *7.—Cabinet
officers talked mysteriously yesterday
about the possibility of disposing of
surplus American rflver when China
comes to pay the enonnout indemnity
which it seems certain she will soon
have to pay Japan. From the discus
sion by the members of the administra
tion yesterday it is likely that there is
some plan on foot to take advantage by
diplomatic negotiations of the situation
when the payment of the indemnity la
arranged and to obtain China as a cus
tomer for our surplus •liver. One of
the members of the administration,
j when pressed to talk on the matter last
night, said that he oould not discuss it
from a government standpoint, but

ing down a rope attached to the roof of
the big Manhattan building on the
New street side. The ropes supporting
a painter's ladder became twisted. A

sentence had not yet been carried into
effect yesterday morning when the
elder Wayne appeared at the court
house and asked to see the jndge. The
latter was conferring in the private
room with lay judges Hoffman and
Henry, but when Wayne made a Ma
sonic sign and asked for a private audi
ence, the other judges left the room.
Wayne then said to the jndge: "I am
a Mason. Jndge, and so are you. I
want yon to let np on my boy. If you
will suspend sentence upon him it will
be worth all the way from one to five

“Well.” answered Jndge Hndspeth,

other Judges on this question.”
He called in Judge Hoffman, and In

Then Judge Hudspeth became so angry
that he struck Wayne and immediately
ordered his arrest.
Prediction That the Next Year** Figure*
Will Greatly Increase.
Cleveland, O., November 23.—The
Iron Trade Review says: The proba
bility. amounting almost to a certainty,

fact that up to November 1st, stocks of
! gig iron had been increasing slightly in
the face of steadily decreasing output
that deaehed a yearly rate of nenrly 8,-
500.000 tons on that date; the further
fact that any noticeable increase of
Bessemer pig iron consumption will call
lethargy of the past week to the life
and brightness which is tha wonted
character of the gay winter season.
The Czar and his attendants arrived at
the winter palace at ten o'clock. All
who had been invited to witness the
marriage ceremony had been directed
toassemble in the rooms to which they
were respectfully assigned by 11:80
o'clock at the very latest. In SL
George's hall were assembled the coun
cil of the empire, the foreign ambassa
dors and the imperial ministers and
their wives. In the concert hall were
the attaches of the court, in full court
costume.
Emperor Nicholas, the King of Den
mark, the King of Greece, the Prince
of Wales, the grand dukes and royal
princes were grouped in Malachite hall,
where they awaited the arrival of the

New York, November 98.—American

Toledo; Toledo and Ohio Central; Co

Baltimore and Ohio railroads, has re
duced the tariff from points in Ohio
and West Virginia to the Mississippi
river to 82.26 per ton. They claim that
they were forced to do this by competi
tion from Kentucky and Virginia, but
it has caused commotion among the
operators of coal mines in Illinois and
Indiana, who regard it as a blow at
their trade. They are using their in
fluence with the western roads, with
which the members of the pool have
connections, to have them refuse to
carry coal at that price.

Shamokin, Pa., November 28.—The
fire that has been raging for sixty-two
hours in a breast of No. 10 vein of the
Nelson shaft is under control and will
be entirely extinguished in a few hours.
The breast contained 200 oars of ent
coal, and the interior became a verita
ble furnace of fire. It was found nec
essary to load this burning coal into
mine cars, the work being extremely
hazardous, as the men had to combat
the flames amid deadly mine gas and
intense heat and scalding steam.

Nashville. Tenn., November 24.—Up
to this time it is not known officially
whether Peter Turney, democrat, or H.
Clay Evans, republican, has been elect
ed governor of Tennessee. According
to footings made at party headquarters
and in newspaper offices the official re
turns show Evans to have earried the
state by about two thousand. It has
been understood thst the returns from
every county have been in the hands of
the Secretary of State Morgan for
several days Yesterday there was a
consultation of Secretary Morgan, At

that the election of Evans would never
be conceded until ths election frauds

After the bride and groom had taken
the marriage vows, the prelate took
two crowns, placing the first upon the
head of the Czar, saying: “The servant
of God, Nicholas, is crowned for the
handmaid of God, Alexandra, in the
name of the Father and of the Son and

Placing the other crown upon the
head of the bride, he said : “The hand

The prelate then blessed the eonple
three times, saying: “O, Lord, our
God, crown them with glory and
honor."

Sr. Paul, Minn., November 27.—A
snlt for 110,000 against Alexander 8al-

trict court yesterday. The complainant
was Miss Louise Starr, who says that
Salvini threw a tumbler right in her
face, catting a deep gash, knocking her
down and rendering her unconscious.
In his answer Salvini says the glass
struck a table, was shivered, and that
a fragment flew into and cut the young
lady's face, sending the blood down her
cheek in such a stream that she became
frightened and fainted. Judge Kelley
dismissed the case because Miss Starr is
under twenty-one. She will renew the
action in the name of a guardian.
