SENATORIAL FALLS
ONJTGORMAN
Long Fight Ended In New York
Assembly.
THE INSURGENTS CAPITULATED.
Choice of O’Gorman Brings to a Close
Fight Which Lasted Over Two
Months—Resigns Supreme Court
Judgeship.
Supreme Court Justice James Aloy-
sius O’Gorman, democrat, of New
York city, was elected United States
senator Saturday night by the legisla
ture, after the most protracted strug
gle over this position ever held in the
Empire State.
On the final ballot, the sixty-fourth,
he received 112 votes to 80 cast for
Chauncey M. Depew, whose term ex
pired March 4. r
The result was in doubt almost to
the minute of recording the votes,
owing to the uncertainty as to how
many of the democratic Insurgents,
who, for over two months, had pre
vented an election because of their
opposition to William H. Sheehan,
would enter the second caucus, which
had been adjourned from day to day
since Monday.
At the close of a day of almost con
tinuous negotiations, the insurgents
capitulated, and Justice O’GoTman was
elected. A few minutes before the
ballot was cast Justice O’Gorman’s
resignation from the bench was filed
at the office of the secretary of state,
as a constitutional provision would
have prohibited hlB election while
holding the office of justice of the su
preme court.
BANKER DEAD IN OFFICE.
Julies DeBrovsky, Private Banker
Found With Bullet Wound in
Abdomen.
When business opened at the pri
vate bank of Julius de Brovsky at
New York city, Monday, the first cus
tomer was annoyed that she could get
no answer to her questions from the
banker, who sat leaning over a table,
seemingly buried in thought.
He had god reason for his silence.
In the banker’s abdomen was a bullet
wound from which he died shortly af
terward without recovering conscious
ness. Investigation showed $1,000
misslng-from his safe.
The police are undecided whether
the- case is one of murder or suicide.
A LONG LITIGATION.
Case Goes to Supreme Court After
Twenty Years.
Twenty years on the way, the suit
of Mary Scott Woods and others
against A. M. Chesborough and others
in Marion county, Miss., has at last
reached the supreme court of the
United States at Washington.
In 1891 a suit was brought in Ma
rion county courts to determine the
title to several parcels of land. The
litigation was continued from term to
term and finally a decree was issued
in the case in 1896. The imediate ob
ject now sought is to have this de
cree reviewed. It will be two or three
years yet before the supreme court
will reach the case on its docket.

A good cigar is a luxury that every man can
enjoy and what a worker of miracles it is. Into what strange
shapes do the curling clouds of smoke wreathe themselves. The
poor man sees his ship come in. The rich man thinks comfortably
of his early straggles. And the lover sees his fair ladyfin a thous
and varying and graceful poses.
There is as much difference in cigars as there is men, but we
have the kind that all men like, the kind that make all men \
brothers.

months for an opportunity to steal the
little fellow. She complied.

BUCKETSHOP LOW.
8ald to Have Been Declared Uncon
stitutional.
The antl-bucketshop law was de
clared unconstitutional in a decision
rendered by the supreme court of the
District of Columbia at Washington.
The decision was handed down .by
Justice Wright and was sweeping in
character, holding that it was uncon
stitutional because of ambiguity In its
provisions.
Justice Wright ordered the dismis
sal of indictments against thirteen
alleged bucketshop promoters of
Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis and
Chicago.
Three men were arrested last May
by agents of the department of justice
in raids conducted simultaneously in
the various cities. Unless the higher
courts overrule the decision of the dis
trict court, the government’s cam
paign against bucketshops has been
effectually stopped.
The department of justice will carry
the case to the supreme court of the
United States.
It was said at the department of
justice that the cases will be Imme
diately carried up.
The decision of Justice Wright ap
plies only to indictments in the Dis
trict of Columbia, according to the de
partment of justice.

8 PERSONS KILLED
IN RAILROAD WRECK
Worst Disaster In Years Occurs
on Atlantic Coast Line,
TRESTLE FALLS WITH TRAIN.
Going at High Speed, “Dixie Flyer’’
Plunges Into the Waters of the Ala-
paha River Near the Town of Tif-
ton, Ga.
In one of the worst railroad disas
ters ever known in the south Atlantic
states, eight persons were killed and
more than a dozen injured when train
No. 95, known as the “Dixie Flyer," sn
the Atlantic Coast Line, and running
between Chicago and Jacksonville,
Fla., went through a trestle over the
Alapaha river eighteen miles east of
Tifton, Ga.
The cars plunged into the river
without a moment’s warning to the
sleeping passengers, when an axle on
the engine suddenly snapped when
midway of the trestle. The locomo
tive never left the track, hut the ten
der was derailed and the tank tum
bled to the bank of the stream.
The trestle is about a half mile
long, but the river was low, and at the
point of the accident was not more
than fifty yards acrdss. The express
and baggage cars, two day coaches
and one Pullman were plied in an In
describable mass in the center of the
stream, but, fortunately, few of the
passengers were carried beneath the
water.

A GREAT writer has said that many people with
good incomes are more unhappy than beggars because they
live beyond their means.
On the other hand the person with a bank account has a feeling of
independence and contentment that cannot be enjoyed in any other
way.
Of all the troubles and worries you have had in the past, think how
many would have been avoided had you possessed a bank account.
When yon realize that you can thus avoid them in the future, won’t
it pay you to start one? It is easy at our bank for you can begin
with a dollar.
