It is stated that no elevator in North Dakota will store grain this year, owing to the new law taxing the amount stored. This pats farmers face to face with ruin. There was talk about General Gros- renorand Judge Thompson "getting together," but it is evident now that they are to fight to a finish at the Galli- polifl Ohio State Jimmal. The Supreme Court of Indiana has affirmed the judgment of the lower Court giving 65,000 damages to Marion Kendall, a married man, who was whipped by white Caps, who accused him of criminally assaulting a young girl. General J.

Hale Sypher, formerly a Republican Congressman from Louisiana, sajs that the proposed federal election law is certain to be a farce. He thinks the Northern love for the Southern dollar will prevent the rigid enforcement of the measure. All Bides Bapiejentsd By Able The Damages to Be Claimed May Jaot Up $250,000. The inquest in the recent horror at King's powder mill began yesterday morning at King's Summit, a new and pretty village on the heights overlooking the scene of the catastrophe. As a great amount of litigation is likely to grow out of the terrible holocaust there was a liberal attendance of attorneys, representing the different interests involved, and their stenographers.

The Coroner's investigation is, of course, merely preliminary, but affords an excellent opportunity to get the evidence in proper shape for USE IN THE COURTS. The Little Miami Road was represented by Charles Darlington, of Xenia who is their regular attorney for this division of the line. The powder company's interests ware taken care of by Messrs. Eunyan Dilatush and W. L.

Dechant, of Lebanon, appeared for some of the sufferers. The attorneys arrived early and spent some time going over the scene of the explosion and getting the bearings of the ground and the various objects that figured in the affair. The inquest was held in tbe handsome new school-house at King's Summit. There was gathered quite a crowd of people who lived in the vicinity. Some of them had relatives injured or killed in the sad disaster.

Others were attracted by curiosity, and several to give their testimony. The great important task of the Coroner is to fix the responsibility for the destructive explosion, as bis verdict will have considerable weight in future There are some Democrats who don't know enough to know that differences of opinion, such as exist between Blaina and other members of the party on the tariff, are evidences of an intelligent effort to do the wise thing, instead of signs of an impending rupture. So there are some Democrats and a few Bepublicans who don't know enough to know that you can't kill a man like J. B. Forafcer with a popgun.

litigation. It is held by the powder company that the explosion was due to careless handling of the cars by the railroad employes in making the running switch, the powder igniting from the awful force of the concussion. If this claim is sustained in the Courts, the railroad campany will be liable for heavy damages to the powder company, and also to the numerous sufferers through the catastrophe. These amounts, which, no doubt, will be sued for, will aggregate or more. The inquest is consequently the most important ever held in Warren county.

FKOM THE LINE PURSUED In yesterday's inquiry it is evident that the railroad company will take the ground that it was not at fault. While the cars came in faster than usual, still the force of the collision and partial smash-up did not cause the explosioa. It will insist that the powder could not have been exploded by concussion, but some other substance must have furnished the spark or blaze. In other woras, it will no doubt claim that there was some other and more explosive material than gun-powder in the car first struck, possibly the substance used in the rim or center of cartridges, which flashes when sharply struck.

M. Massie Withdraws From the Congressional Contest. CHiLtrcoraa, July D. M. Massie, General 8.

H. Hurst's competitor for the Koss county delegation to the Congressional Convention, having failed to secure a majority of the delegates has, in accordance with his determination before entering into the fight, withdrawn his name, and requested his delegates to cast their votes for General Hurst. The following is his letter to the Chillicothe Leader, announcing his determination CniLUCOTms, To the- Editor of the Cblllicothe Leader: The primaries held on Saturday clearly showed that General Hurst is the candidate fur the Congressional nomination, preferred by majority of the Republicans of Boas county. In obedience to their wishes, and iu pursuance of my long fixed intention of not going before the convention unless supported by a majority of the Boss county dele- gatioa, I hereby withdraw from the contest, and request all of my delegates who would vote me to vote for General Hurst. Tours, very truly, D.

M. MASSIE. This was a magnanimous and patriotic thing to do, but it is but characteristic of Massie, who Had declared hia intention to his friends when first entering into the contest. The struggle threatened to breed trouble for tha county ticket, and Massie can always be counted for self sacrifice whenever a question of tbat kind comes up. DISTINGUISHED VKITOES.

A Large Party of Mexicans are Inspetoing the United States. WILL BOT WED ANYBODY, Mrs. Leslia Denies the Existence of th Slightest Matrimonial Intentions. CHICAGO, July arrived in this city a distinguished body of men, representing several Mexican iaduatries, who are in this country for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with its business methods and furthering mercantile interests of Mexico. One of these, E.

P. Serrano, of Altar, represents the fruit-growers of Sonora. Mr. Serrano is the most prominent man engaged in that industry in the State, his groves being said to out-rival any in California or Florida. He hopes to establish a house in Chicago, and claims the exhibit of Sonora oranges at the World's Fair will be a revelation to the United States.

All Of the party are young men representing the wealthiest and most enterprising class of Mexico's northwestern coast. It is the intention to devote the entire week to a thorough study of these industries to be found here, after which the trip may be continued to New York. St. Louis will be visited on the return. YOKK, July Mrs.

Fran Leslie, who arrived by the City Borne to-day, sat in her apartments a the Gerlach to-night, and told the re porters tbat there was absolutely truth in the stories which have bee printed alleging tbat she had engage herself to marry the Marquis De Leu ville. Mrs. Leslie made the denial a strong and sweeping as possible, an concluded it by the statement that sb bad not the slightest intention marrying anybody. "1 went to Europe about seven week ago," she said, "because Dr. Thompson my physician, that I really mub go away or die.

The success of the girl students has been remarkable. The highest educational honor yet won by woman has been won by MiaaPhiJippa Fawcett, aged twenty-two.

In this examination no woman failed to pass, but six men failed completely. Miss Fawcett is a daughter of the late Prof. Henry Fawcett, the blind Postmaster General of England, and of Mrs. Millicant Garrett Fawcett, a leading advocate of woman suffrage, and the author of a text book on Political Economy, which is used in several American colleges. There is a special census agent in town obtaining the indebtedness of Xenia for the past ten years.

He is devoting considerable time, and doing his thoroughly, we judge. We have not seen the figures, but have a suspicion that when they come to be shown in cold type that they will not look very creditable to the city. At least if a business man would keep piling the city paying any of it, or making any motion in that direction, he would not be regarded as one who is pursuing business methods. It would be only right for those who are enjoying the benefits derived from debts incured to-day to bear tlieir of the burden, and not saddle it all on future generations. this reason it endeavored to show yesterday that the blaze was first seen in the middle of the car.

It also brought out the fact that one of the cars, unknown to the railroad agent, contained four or five LAKOE BOXES OF CARTRIDGES Thrown in on top ol the powder, which is understood, to be contrary to the regulations. The man who packed both cars swore the cartridges were not in the car which first exploded, but in the one on the main siding, which did not blow up until reached by the flames. Some half dozen witnesses were examined, mostly employees of the powder company, except Mr. Hunt, the Eon. John A.

I'ABIS, TEXAS, July twenty miles southeast of here, in Bed Kiver County, about 2 o'clock in the morning a party, supposed to contain six or seven men, went to the house of Andy Young, a hard-working negro living on the farm of Grant, and called him up. When he came to the door a volley from Winchesters, shotguns antl pistols was fired at him.

It is thought about twenty-five shots were fired in all, and every one took effect. Two Winchester balls went through his head in front of his ears, one cu ting his tongue in two. 'His body, leg and arms were filled with bullets, ye strange to say, he was alive last nigl and conscious, but it was net regards as possible tbat he could live.
