Owens' plurality, 410. llrccklnrldgo Talks of Fraud. Breckinridge leaders claim that in Scott county Owens received many fraudulent votes, as 600 more democrats voted in this county Saturday than at the last election. Desha Breckinridge said he was confident of his father's election. Said he: "I cannot give out a statemeut by eouuties, but our latest reports reduce Owens' plurality to 141. 1 am sure that the count will be given us b}r the district committee when It meets. If it does not I am not prepared to say what will follow} may bo a contest." There was a report Saturday afternoon that Owens, Settle and Breckinridge would each issue a card to the public. This was on the theory that Breckinridge was about to contest the election. Breckinridge absolutely refuses to talk. The most thorough investigation failed to find ground for the rumor. Everybody is thoroughly tired of the fierce eoutest that terminated in Saturday's primaries. To contest the election would be to prolong the struggle. The probabilities, therefore seem to be against the contest.

Will Support the Nominee.

A notable indication here is the dotting of Breckinride badges and the donning of Owens badges by the most ardent young men who supported Breckinridge throughout the campaign with their money and their personal services. These men say that they wont to the election Saturday, believing that every voter at the primaries was morally bound to support the nominee. Now that their favorite for whom they fought so valiantly seeius to have suffered defeat they feel in honor bound to support his opponent. ol. Breckenridge expressed himself ns being willing to submit to the decision of his party. He sayB if defeated he will support the nominee and will advise all his friends to do the same. He says he has always been a democrat and he intends to remain one. He declares he will stay here in Kentucky and make this place his home if defeated. A close friend of Col. Breckinridge said that if defeated lie would take a trip to Europo.

Planning to Help the Colonel. FKASKFOIIT, Ky., Sept. 17.—Breckinridge men l.-ere are reluctant to acknowledge their defeat. Some of them are still claiming the nomination of Col. Breckinridge by a small majority. They base their hopes of contesting the election on the fact that the Owens county vote fell off 500 from last fall. Chairman Gains, of the Breckinridge committee here went to Lexingtou to consult with party leaders there. Owens men claim the nomination by 4241 votes. The official count will bo held here to-day and as a majority of the election committee favors Breckinridge it is expected that advantage will be taken of every contested vote to seat the colonel. Bishop Duncan, in a prayer before the Methodist conference here Sunday, thanked God thnt the right had been upheld in putting down bad men who aspired to public otilce.

Killori at the Primaries.

FRANKFURT, Ky Sept. 17.—News has been received here of a double killing in Lockport, 12 miles from Eminence, in Henry county. Jim lloskins, an Owens man, and Wailaek, a Breckinridge man, had a light at the polls. IloskinB shot Wallaco, after which Wallace drew a knife and stabbed his opponent repeatedly. Wallace is dead and Hoskins cannot recover.

PARIS, Ky., Sept. 17. At Riddles Mills, this county, at 7 o'clock Sunday morning Bon Duval shot and fatally wounded Ed Faulkner, aged 22. The trouble originated over the former challenging the latter's vote at the election Saturday.

Versailles, Ky., Sept. 17.—Out in the Maywood neighborhood, miles northeast of here, Saturday there was a pitched battle between eighteen or twenty Breckinridge and Owen men, the result of discussion on the outlook during which 0. \V. Gillosvie, a Breckinridge man, was stsbbed twice with a dirk knife just above the heart and in the back, dangerously wounding him. It was impossible to fiud out who did the cutting.

A Memorable Content.

jTbe most eventful primary In the history Of Kentucky, If not the entire country, was the one of Saturday when democratic candidate for congress WUH chosen for the Ash luml dUtriot. It has been a re mnrkable campaign, and has attracted attention by reason of the fact that the principal candidate had been a repreroKeutatlvo of this district for ten years, was oonsUiored one of the most polished orators of the land, and that be had fallen. When the scusational charges were brought against him by Madeline I'ollanl hundreds of hi* best friends believed he would not invke the race and when the trial was decided against him they were surprised and shocked when he announced his determination to ask the pooplo to return him to congress, Then followed the uprising of the people In May ajad June, when they held ludlgnutlon meetings. .. Illwomen took up the fight and pushed it ttutll the last hour. They have made the tight

They have allowed no opportunity to escu^j thorn and (ought Urecklnridge with that sama determination and heroism that marked the pioneer women of Kentucky, wheu they helped their fathers aud sons to fight the Indlaus.

The Brecklnridges have talked of them in every way called them brazen female politicians. referred to them as short-haired ^oinon, have 6aid they would better be at hoiae attending to their children and household duties. but nothing deterred ther.o noble women, "they braved all oensure and even faced the tongue of slander to carry out the work of retiring from congress the present representative.

They fcave gone out among the people and} have collected many hundreds of dollars to pld Mr. Owens in his campaign. They regarded li as a ftght for the honofr of their homes, for the purity of their eons and ijaughters. It was a woman's war and nothing but a woman's wai 6ould have awakened Such widespread and self-sacrificing opposition to the former Idol of Kentucky.

REVENUES FALLING OFF. J^

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Therevenues of the government have fallen off almost £18.000,000 in round figures for the first, fourteen days of this month, coinpared with the last half of August. The receipts from customs for the first, fourteen days of this month amounted to Sy/227,000 (in round numbers). against $0,780,000 for the last half of August, while the receipts from internal revenue were but S'-V-i'j'i.OrtO. compared with 520,08-1,-000 for the latter half of August.

The receipts from internal revenue for the first fourteen days of the month dwindled to S'J,072,000, about 84,600,000 below the normal, and were not counterbalanced by the increase in the receipts from customs, due to heavy importations under the reduced rates immediately following the enactment of the new law.
