Inquiry at the office of the Acetylene Gas Company elicits the information that a very considerable amount of the capital stcck of the company has already been subscribed for and that the balance of the amount to be sold will be offered rext week at an advanced price. The officers of the company state that a large plant is under contract and in course of construction at Niagara Falls for the manufacture of carbide. It is thought that the carbide will soon be ready for shipment in large quantities. All indica- tions point to the speedy introduction of this light into Washington. THE EVENING STAR, ‘THURSDAY, OCTOBER 381, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES, — CLAIMS IN KENTUCKY]. — Both Sides Profess Confidence in the - Result. S ARE UNITED AND SOLID Democrats Are Split and Bolting Has Been Announced. COMPARING WITH LAST YEAR Special From a Staff Correspondent. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 31.—Next Tuesday’s balloting will determine whether Kentucky is to be wrested from the dem- ceratic column of states. The republicans are bending every effort, and are favored by apparently fortuitous circumstances. Old politicians here say that Kentucky was never nearer slipping away from the democrats than it is now. The campaign hinges upon the selection of a governor, state ticket and a portion of the legislature, the latter to elect the United States Senator to succeed Senator Blackburn. The democratic candidate, Mr. Hardin, is running a free silver campaign on a sound money platform, while the re- publican candidate, Mr. Bradley, is a hard money man, with no entangling alliances. ‘The republicans are united and solid, and the democrats are split ‘up. Just how bad the division is no one can estimate. Some Prominent democrats like Mr. Atherton of Louisville and Cassius M. Clay have openly avowed their spposition to the democratic candidate. Their prominence renders con- epicuous the division in the party, but it does not follow that their views are shared by any considerable number of the rank and file of the party. Conservative democrats believe they will carry the state by five or eight thousand. The republicans claim that they will have @ majority of at least ten thousand, and are raising their figures as election day draws near. = : Comparing With Last Year. ‘Taking the vote of last year in the elec- tion of Congressmen for a basis and mak- ing calculations thereupon, the chances seem to favor the republicans. Last year’s vote was an unusually heavy one, showing the two parties to be almost equally bal- anced in power, and there was a difference of but between two and three thousand in tke vote of the whole state. In the eleven congressional districts of the state, five were carried by republican candidates and two were lost by the,small pluralities of 101 and 223. The republicans claimed at that time if there had been fair elections, and if the full republican vote had been counted, they would have carried more of the districts. The clty of Louis- ville overturned a democratic majority of 6,500 and gave the republican candidate a majority of 4,130. The republicans claim they will carry Louisville by at least 5,000 next Tuesday. Democrats de not seem to have much hope of carrying the city. su3p,,himrgob( shrd cmfw vbgkq cmfw rad There are two districts of which the re- publicans are absolutely certain—the elev- enth district—the mountain country—which has been a republican stronghold from time immemorial, and the fifth, or Louisville dis- trict. They expect to get a majority of 10,000 in the eleventh district to help them out in sections where their vote will fall short. Encouraging reports have been received by the republicans from the district which includes the cities of Newport and Coving- ton. It is said that this district is the } ot- bed of the revolt of the sound money men against Mr. Hardin's free silver candidacy. The reports are likely to prove somewhat exaggerated, for the district gave a demo- cratic majority of 2,040 last year. In the seventh, or Ashland, district the democratic candidate for Congress pulled through last year by 101 votes. The demo- crats expect to do better, however, next Tuesday in that district, because there are no dissensions among the people, such as Were caused last year by Mr. Breckin- ridge’s canvass for renomination. The democrats hore to get about 2,500 majority out of this district. A Warm Campaign. The campaign is very warm about this time, and both parties are putting in their best licks. The republican candidate goes over the state in a special train, and stops at every town to make a speech. The democratic candidate is equally as industrious, and has literally talked him- self to a standstill, for he had to take a day off yesterday and rest his throat. The democrats are harping upon the race ques- tion and talk about negro domination, en- deavoring to work up sentiment upon this point among democratic followers who mzy be lukewarm toward Mr. Hardin on ac- count of his free silver attitude. Strenu- ous efforts are being made to bring back into the democratic camp some of the vote which has strayed to the populists. These people are urged to come back with the party now that free silver is being indorsed ‘by the democracy. It is impossible to esti- mate the amount of the vote that may thus be saved to the democrats, but the repubii- cans are very much worried about it. They fear the democrats will he able to make some converts among the backsliders. The republicans are trying to counteract these efforts by explaining to the pecple that the silver men need not put any faith in the democracy, but had better stick to the populists, because they will never get anything through democrats. The popu- lists are told that the democrats are fool- ing them about silver. In the Silver Counties. Mr. Hardin finds his greatest strength in the free silver counties of western Ken- tucky. In the first and second congression- al districts the democrats have a combined majority of about 8,000. Mr. Hardin is try- ing hard to swell the aggregate to 10,000 with the aid of populists’ votes. The third and fourth districts are consid- ered to be doubtful. They lie near the cen- ter of the state, and although they were carried last year by the republicans, it Is thought that the conditions at this time favor democratic gains. Few Personalities. ‘The campaign thus far has been a remark- ably clean one, and personalities have tig- ured to a small degree only. The {issues are well understood by all classes and are so plain that it is impossible for demagogues to obscure them or to fool the people. Some- tires the honest democrat gets tangled up a little when he tries to explain Mr. ®ardin’s free s'lver canvass on the sound money plat- form, but when he finds himself getting into difficulties he switches off on to the race question and finds smooth running. oO.

The Drought at an End. ‘Prof. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, said this morning that rain was falling throughout the drought region from New Mexico to New England, and he gave the welcome :ntellgence that the drought was broken. This one storm may not be suffi- cient, he says, but from past experience it is safe to predict that this one will be fol- lowed by a succession of storms ranging toward the northeast from tne southwest at about three day intervals. Experience has shown that the healing up of a general protracted dreught originates in a low ba- rometrical area in the barren region of the soutnwest. Such low area now exists In New Mexico, and Prof. Moore, therefore, feels warranted in making the announce- ment that the drought is at an end. Range of the Thermometer. The following were the readings of the thermom ter at the weather bureau today: S a.m., 42; 2 p.m., 46; maximum, 47; min- THE moopy cif in. A Socinl Anniversary Gathering at Calvary Baptist Charch. The secord anniversary of the orginiza- tion of the Mcody choir was celebrated last evening at the Calvary Baptist Church. There was a delightful musical entertain- ment, which was followed by a collation, of which all present partook, and there was a very general attendance of the members cf the choir. This organization, as is well known, had its origin at the time of the great Moody and Sankey meetings at Con- vention Hall, and the music rendered by the mammoth chorus was one of the most memorable features of the meetings. Un- der the leadership of Mr. Percy S. Foster the choir has continued ever since and has ‘developed into quite a social institution. The musical features of the entertainment last evening consisted of a baritone solo by Dr. Frank B. Woodman, the “Creole Love Song,” rendered by Miss Gertrade Dunn, end several violin solos by Miss Ella Knight, accompanied by Miss Dora Knight. Miss Anita Cluss also gave a number of de- lightful selections on the harp. During the evening Dr. Peck, on behalf of the choir, presented to Mr. Foster a handsome ice cream set of Dresden china, which Mr. Foster accepted in a neat speech of thanks. Miss Alice Kimball and Mrs. A. J. Brown, the accompanists of the choir, were made the recipients of a silver pen- holder and a silver hat brush, respectively. The committee in charge of the exercises of the evening consisted of Miss Mollie S. Lord, chairman; Miss Bates, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. F.- B. Woodman, Mrs. M. D. Peck, Mrs. P. M. Hough, Mrs. F. A. Wilson, Mrs. W. J. Palmer, Mrs.°P. S. Fos- ter, Miss Gary, Miss Golden, Miss North, Miss Manchester, Miss Horner, Miss Sle- man, Miss A. Kimball, Miss Edith Carri- gan, Mrs. Zimmerman, Miss Ella Knight, Miss Dora Knight, Miss Moses, Miss F. Mullican, Miss McElfresh, Miss Shiels, Miss Enderle, Miss Dana, Mrs. Brown. The general committee consisted of Mr. Foster, Dr. Peck, Dr. F. B. Woodman, Mr. F. A. Wilson, Mr. P..M. Hough and Mr. W. J. Palmer. —————— WILL NOT VOTE THIS YEAR. Republicans in Prince George's County Ruled Out by the Court. Correspondence of The Evening Star. UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., Oct. 30, 1895. At a special sitting of the circuit couft held here for the purpose of hearing ap- peals from the decisions of the registra- tion officers of the 14th election district of this county, with Chief Judge Briscoe and Associate Judges Brooke and Crain, com- prising a full bench, about fifty appeal cases were disposed of. Nearly all of these appeals were from the republicans en- deavoring to get some republican reinstated or to get the court to order the registra- tion officer to take from the list some democratic voter not, according to their interpretation of the registration law, en- titled to vote in this state or county. There were few cases where a democrat had not taken all the requirements of the law into consideration before vacating the place he had been voting, but a good many republicans scem to have neglected the re- quirements of the law on that point. Prominent among these were the cases of Wm. E. Meloy and Mr. Jos. N. Ryan. Mr. Meloy is a lawyer, and has Lea for a num- ber of years a prominent figtfre in the poli- ties of Prince George's county. He has represented his party in the legislature of Maryland on several occasiors. He lives part of the year in the county and part in Washington, and he failed to take the oath required by law by parties temporarily leaving the state, and the court decided that he could not vote. The case of Mr. Ryan is similar. He had failed to make the cath and cannot vote this fall. —_——._——_. THE RAILROAD CROSSINGS. Metropolitan Company Will Enforce the Law. The Metropolitan Railroad Company re- ceived this morning from the District Com- missioners an official communication noti- fying it of the issuance of the recent order directing that all trains and engines on steam railroads within the city limits of Washington should come to a full stop be- fore crossing the tracks of any street rail- road using rapid-transit facilities. Im- mediately after the receipt of this letter the Metropolitan Company, through Sec- retary Coleman, announced that if the Bal- timore and Potomac Railroad Company vio- lated the order the matter would be taken into the courts, and a final decision on the question reached. The regulation, under the law, cannot be enforced for thirty days after its first publication. ee She Left Her Card. From the Spectator. Some time ago, in passing through a churchyard in Lancashire, I saw a number of flower wreaths on a newly made grave. One among others had a card attached, on with was written, “With Mrs. “3 deep sympathy,” and printed in the corner, “At home on Fridays.” PROOF AS_/TO INSANITY. The Young Will Cast Continues Be- fore Judge Cole. The contest at law brought by Thomas E. Young to break the Will of his brother, the late James E: Young, begun terday, as stated in The Star, was continued to- day before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1. The death of the’ testator occurred October 19, 1892, and be Jeft an estate val- ued at about $59,000 to William A. Young and John Young, brothers, and Margaret L. Gaddes, a sister. It is the claim of the caveator that his brother was of unsound thind and eccentric, and, that undue influ- ence was exercised,upem him, as a result of which he made the provisions in the will now contested. In¢thided in the made was one to the First Testes Church of this city.” Messrs. A. S. Worth- ington and A. A. Lipscomb represent the cavetator, while Messrs. Edwards and Bar- nard and Henry Wise Garnett appear for the beneficiaries. The first witness today was Leo O'Dowd, who was a near neighbor of the deceased for years. He declared that in his opinion James E. Young was insane and related a number of incidents, many of an amusing character, to substantiate the view ex- pressed. Louisa Curtis, an old colored woman, for- merly in the employ of the deceased, de- scribed several queer-actions on the part of Mr. Young, to the effect that he would sit in his pigpen for a long period and grunt and groan; that he would remove all cloth- ing and leave the house, and that he was in the habit of discharging firearms at per- sons in a promiscuous manner. No man in his right mind, according to the witness, would act as did Mr. Youngs. Fairfax H. Taylor, employed at the Ar- lington cemetery, who knew the deceased during his entire lifetime, expressed the belief, when called to the stand, that Mr. Young was of unsound mind. This opinion was based on continued queer actions and unseemly conduct on the part of the dead man. Septimus Brown, who was an intimate friend of Mr. Young, testified that on one occasion the latter fired a gun at him from a window without the slightest provoca- tion for so doing. Mary Cffutt, John Offutt and George Ransom, all cclored, who re- side near Mr, Young’s place at Arlington, Va., declared that the deceased was in the habit of discharging weapons at persons and acting in other manners that pointed to insanity. —_~.>—__ SCUTTLED TO SAVE HER. Burning of an American Ship at Hong Kong. The American ship Wandering Jew, Capt. Nichols, which arrived at Hong Kong, China, from New York on Septembes 17 in order to load for that port, and which was ready to sail for home, caught fire through some unknown cause, and was _subse- qvently scuttled in order to prevent her entire destruction. The Wandering Jew left New York May 10 for Hong Kong and arrived there on September 17. She was built in Camden, Me., in 1887.

There will be a great rally of the soldiers, auxiliaries and friends of the Salvation Army at the Salvation Army Hall, $30 Pennsylvania avenue, tonight at 8 o'clock, to welcome back Adjutant Isabel Wood, the commander of the Washington forces, who has been visiting her old home in England Guring the past six weeks. The incessant work and nightly meetings in the hall and open air during the long summer, the first she had ever passed in such southern lati- tudes, wore upon Adjutant Wood's health so thai she had to take what was an un- rsually long rest, and took advantage of it to visit her family, whom she had only seen once since she came to this country to live. The ocean trip has done her much good, and she returned today well prepared to face the winter campaign. Adjutant Wood, by the charm of her character and manner, and the power of her speaking and singing, has made a great number of per- sonal friends since she came to Washington last spring, and they will make her very welcome at the meeting. tonight. At to- right’s meeting a new flag will be pre- sented to the local corps by Washington friends of the army. Capt.

The Atlanta exposition receipts Tuesday were the largest since the opeaing, not ex- cepting Liberty Bell and Cleveland days. There was no special feature yesterday. A war has opened between the stret rail- ways and the Southern railway on fares to the exposition. Both the electric and the steam roads started off charging 10 cents. ‘Then the electric cut to 5 cents for school children. The Southern cut to 5 cents for all children. Next the electric lines carried all children free for a day. Now both sys- tems announce a 5-cent fare for every @ne Thursday. There is a prospect of even cheaper fares.
