' Judge Uray of Visalia, sitting for
Jndge Harris at Fresno, has given a de
cision in the Bnit of Joseph Spinuey
against the supervisors of Fresno county.
Last July the supervisors transferred
the most populous portion of the First
district to the Third. At the time this
was done Spinney was a candidate for
the First district in tho interests of tho
Populists. As his strength lay wholly
in the portion transferred, his election
would be an impossibility, he therefore
ought a writ of certiorari to compel the
supervisors to reverse their decision.
Judge Gray held that the step taken by
the supervisors was an exercise of the
legislative power vested in them and
dismissed the suit. .

CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.
Work of Preparation by tho Demoeratle
and Itcpubllcan Committees.
With the close of congress the man
agers of the congressional national cam
paign committees are preparing for the
full campaign with much enercry. Sen
ator Fauikuer, nt the head of the Demo
cratic committe, is directing his efforts
toward holding a Democratic majority
in tne nouse or representatives. Ex
tensive headquarters are in operation.

I The work thus far has Ixjen in prepar-
; ing full statistics of the districts, writ-
j ing the campaign book and in circu
i lating documents. The campaign book
is aixrat bull completed. It will be a
volume of about 800 pages, showing the
Work of congress and the reforms claimed
to have been made in the departmental
service. It will be furnished to speakers
as a text ror their work on the stump.
The statistics gathered are the most
elaborate ever undertaken by the com
mittee. They show not only the votes
oy counties for tne last four congres
sional elections, but in close districts the
figures are carried out to the townships,
wards and other precincti In addition
to the numerical vote a system of per
centages has been adopted by which the
percentage or gain necessary to success.
or loss threatening defeat, can be ex
actly determined.
Another plan of ready reference is bv
shaded maps of the districts in various
colors showing the strength of the Re
publicans, Democrats, Populists, Pro
hibitionists, etc, with the figures as to
the vote of each party. Campaign speak
ers wilt not be sent out by the commit
too, as each congressional nominee will
be left to secure his own speakers. If,
however, a weak spot is developed where
speakers are few the national committee
will undertake to supply the orators.
Documents are being shipped in large
quantities, but the main supply, par
ticularly on the tariff, will not go out
until congress has adjourned and all
uncertainty on the question has been re
moved. The Republican congressional cam
paign, in the absence of Secretary Olds,
is in charge of Assistant Secretary
Thomas H. McKee. By the decision of
the Republican national committee the
congressional campaign is left entirely
in the bands of the congressional com
mittee. Chairman Manley acting in an
advisory capacity.
The headquarters force is just now en
gaged in getting together the campaign
textbook, which Captain McKee expects
to hare issued by Sept. 1. The commit
tee has had its headquarters open con
tinuously from Nov. 1 last, and since
that time has circulated 3,000,000 pieces
of campaign literature. This work will
be pushed with even greater diligence
from this time forward.
A complete canvass has been made of
every congressional district in the coun
try and the work to be done. In states
where a campaign is on the work will be
left in the hands of the state committee
entirely. Where , there is no state cam
paign the congressional district organ
ization will be co-operated with directly.
There will be no speakers because con
gressmen and candidates are found to
prefer arranging for themselves.

Miss Mary Brown of Princess Anne,
Md., died from the effects of an opera
tion for appendicitis. It was found that
a small piece of chewing gum which the
young woman had swallowed had found
its way into the appendix and caused
death.
The jury in the case of Mayor Calla

member of the city council, brought in
a verdict of guilty. The most important
count whs a demand made on Leman L.
"Wideneney, a coal dealer, for wharf
privileges. Widen eney paid $300.
The other night two masked men
boarded a northbound freight on the St.
Paul road at Deerfield. and in an en
counter with the trainmen shot and
killed Detective Patrick Owens.- They
secured little plunder, and a few hoars
later fatally wounded Officer McGrath,
who essayed to capture them at Mayfair.
They were finally captured by the police
in the Elk Grove woods, near the Des
plaines river, after the exchange of fully
one hundred shots. Gordon, the arch
culprit, has led a Jekyll and Hyde career.
He is known on this coast as Billy Wil

has been identified as H. F. Griswold,
an inspector of the Manchester Assur

A man's death occurred at Atlantic
City in view of many thousands of peo
ple who lined the beach, and who were
panic-stricken by the awful surround
ings of the event. It was S p. in., when
the snrf was black with bathers. Sixty
thousand people had arrived during the
morning. There were not bathing suits
sufficient to supply the demand and the
board walk was crowded. In a few
minutes the sky was overcast, a cloud of
inky blackness rolled in from the sea,
but the bathers remained in the surf.
Suddenly from the very zenith a bolt of
blinding brilliancy descended. Thou
sands of spectators were horrified as
straight down 'it flew, striking a young
man who was standing- in-the surf,
where he was holding the hand of a
woman. He was seen to stagger back
ward, partly raising his left hand to his
forehead. Then he fell into the water
lifeless. His companion reeled and fell
and was washed insensible upon the
beach. The young man, who had been
killed was William Carr, twenty years
old, living at 103. South Mississippi
avenue, Atlantic city. While his body
was still warm it was brought to the
shore and examined by Dr. Thompson.
It was round tnat his left side from head
to foot was burned and blackened. The
bolt had struck the .young man on the
left temple and his death was instanta
neous. A Quarter Century Test.
