Rkpuhucan Committee Meets. A
meeting of the republican county cen
tral committee was held at Pope's hall
on Monday at which 27 precincts were
represented. . For the apportionment of
delegatus for the republican county con
vention, Hermann's vote in Jun", 1804,
was taken as tbe basis, and it was agreed
that there should be one delegate for
each precinct and one for each 30 votes
polled for Hermann and one for each
fractional part of 30 votes. This will
give the convention 133 delegates, a
gain of 12 orer the number two years
ago, and 21 more than four years ago.
Tbe gain comes principally from the
county precincts that have fractions of
30. Owing t the faci that the date for
the meeting of the state and congres
sional convention has not been set, the
committee could not name dates for the
primaries and the county convention.
It was resolved to leave that matter in
the bands of the chairman, Henry Mel
rum, with tbe instruction that the
county convention should not be less
than 10 days before the state and con
gressional, and that the primaries be
not less than five days before the county
convention. The committeeman for
each precinct was authorized to appoint
the judges and clerk for the primary
election in his precinct.

of the city council was held on Monday
evening and the following business

Road Decision. Judge McBride Tues
day rendered a decision of considerable
importance, bearing upon the consti
tutionality of the statute for roads of
public easement. Several months ago
R. J. Shoukley petitioned for a road ol
public easement across the premises of
Daniel Mayer, in Highland precinct.
The viewers appointed by the county
court awarded Mayer $1'5 damages, and
he appealed from that award to the
circuit court, where the cause was tried
last November, resulting in a verdict
for $150. Mayer moved for judgment,
notwithstanding tbe verdict, on the
ground that the statute authorizing
rotds of public easement was unconsti
tutional, and the motion was granted.
It was held that the taking of private
property for private roads of public
easement was taking it, for private uses,
and not for public, and that the consti
tution would not warrant such action.
