The total number of votes east was 19,423, Of this number Kroger received 13,764, Schalkburger 3,716 and General Jourbert 1,945, The result means practicaliy anoth. er defeat for Englend, for that coun- dry has been most anxious to bring about the retirement of the plucky executive. Kruger has frustrated the plans of England's shrewdest colonial states- men, During the last decade be and his small bot valiant army of Boers three times prevented the queen's redcoats from seizing his county, and from his enemies he has re- ceived the title of “The Grand Old Man of South Africa.”” Two years ago all America ap- plauded when Jameson's invasion of this country was so heroically resist- ed by the Boers, and all civilization denounced the outrageous conduct of England in trying to add to her ter- ritory by boldly stealing the country of an inoffensive and liberty-loving people. "That Kruger holds the key to the South African situation is acknowl- edged; that England will within a year or two make another attempt to take it from him, even if war is neces- eaFy, is undoubted, MARKEts, Reported by the"Lkey Crain Co Chicago, Feb. 11,—The markets today ranged as follows: May wheat opened at 98 and closed at 9744.

In an editorial headed “Once a Man, Twice a Child,’ Capt. Moore is unmercifully ridiculed, ‘We re- gret that this venerable Poo Bah should set so bad sn exajple to the rising youth of Kentucky as to pub- licly challenge men to mortal combat’’ is one of the most striking of the many sarcastic remarks of the writer. “Life is too short to waste its fleeting hours in associations from which no improvement can arise, but | if our indignant candidate for office feels that he cannot succeed without meeting somebody, and will go about seeking that meeting with some de- gree of energy and alacrity, if it is not impossible that he might sue- ceed,’ the writer also remarks.

Wm. Bowman three brutal assailants of motorman George Alex- ander, of the Third street division of the Paducah Street railway, were in Paducah last night. Their visit was though brief, but the a failure of the at. tempted capture. It was no fault of theirs, however, but of the agents of the railroad company, that the three raffians are not now languishing be- hind the bars of the McCracken county jail, The men were on board the special train which passed through Paducah at 2:30 this morning, en ronte from Jeffersonville, Ind.,to Seattle, Wash. The local authorities learned shortly after the men assaulted the motor- man because he wanted them to pay their fare, that they had signed a contract to go with the party of ship builders to Seattle, and awaited the arrival of the train with everything in readiness, Last night the special was due, Officers Fred Hoyer and J. R. Gray were detailed to make th st, and remained at the depot until it arrived and boarded her, a companied by motorman Geo. A ander, who was to identify his as- sailants. They started to search the train, Conductor Conners met them and objected. They had gone through the first car when he in- formed them that Mr. Fowle: de- sired to see them. Mr, Fowier proved to be the railroad agent in charge of the train, He was intro- duced to Otlicer Hoyer and Mr, Alexander by the conductor. In a few words he explained their mission. “By what authority do you search the trai “By the authority of the Com- monwealth of Kentucky,’’ was the reply. Mr. Fowler contended that he was in charge of the men, under contract to deliver them to Seattle, and did not want the train searched. The officers concluded to search it any- how, but upon searching the second coach were confronted by an unex- pected circumstance. The door had been locked, Besides there was no light, The officers finally borrowed a lantern from a switchman, and found the porter who unlocked the door. This was the car the men were in, But during the interim when the officers were attempting to gain en- trance to the coach, they had escaped to some other part of the train, The breeches of one of the men were found suspended above one of the bunks, indicating that the man had precipitately left them, The searched in vain, The men had van- ished, one not even taking time to dress, They either went into the baggage car or else into the c that had already been searched, train had by this time reached May- field, and the officers, after being made to pay their fare, were put off. ‘They rushed up to the engine to as- certain if the fugitives were on the locomotive pilot or blind baggage. and found no one there. They were forced to abaudon the search, and over at Mayfield for the seven train. They returned at eight o'clock today, very indignant at the treatment they received at the hands of the hands of the railroad company’s agents. When they got aboard at Mayfield, the train porter demanded their tickets before they had found a seat. Marshal Collins, when seen |: Sen reporter this morning, was very indignant, The failure of bis plans had not had a very salutary effect on lis generally genial disposition, “We would have gotten the me had it not been for the agents of the ‘ailroad company. 1 am through with the railroad, We have always treated them with consideration and courtesy, and this is all the thanks we get.

The marshal says he intends to get Hartley, the principal one of the offenders, if he has to send to Seattle for him, The offense with which the three men are wanted 1s well known, On Jan. 26th, about 10 o'clock p. m. near Third and Norton street, they assaulted Motorman George Alex- ander, who was in charge of his car, who demanded that they pay their fare or get off. They beat him up with the switch key end then took possession of his car, running it cn up the street.
