FRANKFORT , Ky. , Jan. 12. The contest
committee In the light for governor met thla
morning and by a majority vote overruled
the objections filed by Governor Taylor yes
terdny to the democratic members ot the
committee sitting la the case. Kach mem
ber made a short statement denying the al
legations la the governor's alllilavlt. All of
the democratic members present voted to
overrule the objections and Representative
Yarberry , the only republican member
present , voted to sustain them.
Thii republican leaders Insist on their
claim that the contestants for state olllces
must receive a majority In each branch
of the legislature , Instead of a majority In
tliii aggregate , ns claimed by the demo ,
crats , nnd this la another ot the questions
which may have to go to the courts.
If the republican contention la sustained
it IM admitted Oochel would bo in exceed
ingly close lines In the senate- , with the
chances against him in that branch for
the governorship. The latest poll of that
"body " by the republicans IB that It contains
ot lenst five nntl-Gocbcl democrats nml
Senator Hill , democrat , Is 111 at home , with
little prospect of getting hero during thu
session. With Hill nnd Ooehel not voting
the Ooobel senators under these clrcum-
Btnncrs could not muster a majority.
The Coubel senators Into tonight claim
telegraphic advlccH from countlea In the
CBBtern part of the state that military
companies In that section are lining cijulppiia
to coino to Frankfort next week ,

The Qoebel-Taylor and lleckham-Marshall
Boniest committees will hold meetings to
morrow , nt which they will arrange for the
trial of the contests. The hearing of cvl-
dcnco begins Monday and It IB n foregone
conclusion that the titnto capital will bo
overrun with visitors , at least during the
early part of the proceedings. Doth sides
are HUbpoenaoing large numbers of wit
nesses. About 0,000 wltacities are ex.
pccted.
The arrival of about llfly men from east
ern Kentucky tonight created a big stir in
Cocticl circles , when It was charged that
the new arrivals were militiamen In cltl-
tcnt ; ' clothes. In republican circles thin
wns laughed at and It was claimed they ,
are only , a few of'tho hundreds of Taylor
witnesses who have been summoned here
to give testimony In behalf ut the ton- '
tctitces.
Ilpth brntichca ot the legislature held
quiet sessions and tllo liotiuo adjourned
until Monday. The only.s Ih.liiK dune In
either branch , wlik-h had any bearing on
the contents , Was In the senate , 'where the

NEW YORK , Jan. 12. Kid "McCoy " got
the decision over Joe Choynski in a bout
which lasted three rounds at the Broadway
Athletic club tonight. Choynski would have
had the fight in the second round were It
not for an accident as to timekeeping. He
had floored the Kid four times , but the
timekeeper pulled the bell as McCoy was
j counted for the limit of ten secon/ls and
this saved the Kid from nbsolute defeat.
Choynskl'a seconds protested vigorously ,
but Referee Johnny White , while knowing
that the round was short by many seconds ,
Btcod by the official timekeeper nnd or
dered the men to continue when the gong
rang again , for the opening of the third
round.
Cboynskl'B clevorneos outpointed and out-
shadowed all of McCoy's clever ring work.
fltoCoy having- escaped defeat in the second
round was again lucky In the third , as the
blew with which he sent Choynski down
and out was delivered almost two seconds
after the bull had rang for the completion
of the round. There was a great deal of
noise In 'the ' building nt the time the gong
sounded and undoubtedly neither man
board the clang of the bell.
SiM'i'lnlor lro | > H Ucuil.
In the northeastern portion of the build
ing there was a tumult ! caused by one of
the spectators dropping dead. The man
was very much excited during the bout and
expressed himself freely as to .McCoy's .
being out before the bell rang. Ho slid
from his heat dead ns the bull sounded for
the beginning of the third round.
Colonel 'Mike Paddon , timekeeper for Jlc-
Coy , said afterward that ho roallzed that
the round was clipped by forty seconds ,
that McCoy was groggy and practically out
when the gong rung.
Choynskl , whllo feeling rather sore , said
ho had no fault to find with the rcferco
nml In a conversation with the latter ex
onerated White * from all blnmo.
"I had him licked goad nnd sure , " aaid
Choyaskl , "and hail tbo timekeeper acted
right I had McCoy out. However , I am
satisfied that nothing was done by either
the referee or olllclnl timekeeper with nn
livtentlon of doing me a wrong. It was nn
unfortunate thing that the time should have
boon miscalculated , ns I hud on nnd won
cleverly.
After Iho bout Choynski and McCoy
HlKneil articles to meet again under the
same conditions , the bout to taku place at
the Ilroadwny Athletic club February 20.
McCoy WOH a positive favorite in iho bet
ting. A few wagers wore * mailo at oddH of
100 to 30 , but there were many offers re
fused at 100 to 15. Kvon money that
Chnyiifklould last ten rounds waa plenti
ful. McCoy's backers made n number of
bets nt 100 lo 90 that McCoy would knock
his man out Insldo of ten rounds.
Danny Duan nnd George Jpnfcen , both of
this city , mot in the preliminary and Duun
stopped Jniifien In leas than two minutes In
the tlrot round. Duan was then pitted
against Jim McKcevcr for a six-round go

for the third 'round Sabln leaned heavily
against him , and at the conclusion of the
fight , whoa he aroseto leave the buildIng -
Ing , Sabln fell to the lloor.
The Flulit li.v HoillidM.
Round 1 'McCoy was first to land with
n left hook on the jaw. Joe broke away
and McCoy forced him to his corner , where
Choynski slipped to the lloor. The Califor-
nlun jumped up quickly und placed a left
t-wlng on McCoy's jaw , but the Kid sent
back a couple of lefts on the face and a
stiff right over the heart. JlcCoy had all
the better of the round.
Hound S Choynski sent the Kid to
Hie lloor with n rlgrht on ihe jaw. McCoy
took nine seconds of the count and when he
got up Choynski sent him down again with
a left on the murk. Twice more McCoy
\vns floored nnd he went to his corner
bleeding badly from the nee nnd mouth.
Hound 3 McCoy fought Hl " a crazy man
when he rushed out of his corner , and
Choynski was equally erratic , lliey set nil
ring rules at dellnnce , but ( McCoy got the
better of the western man ai close quar
ters. Choynski rushed McCoy , but the
Kid was too spry on his feet nnd Joe
slipped to the lloor In a vain attempt to
land a swing. When Joe got up ho ran
Into n clinch , from which Iho referee had
to separate the men. Then Cnoynskl
landed a right pwlng on the jaw nnd Mc
Coy went down , taking nearly seven seconds
ends of the count. When McCoy got up
Choynski rushed at him , but his legs gave
way nnd he fell to the lloor , but regained
his feet in nn Instant. McCoy was quotr
In hla leg movement , but went In and
mixed It up. In a hot rally McCoy hooked
his right to the jaw , Choynski landing his
left at the same moment nnd both went
down. Just nsi they got up the men rushed
at each other and the bell rane while
they were mixing things up In lively fnah-
lon. Neither man evidently heard the gong
nnd McCoy whipped his right over on the
jaw and Choynsitl fell. Them were wild
trios of "Foul ! " " " '
"Foul ! us C'hoynskl W.IH
carried to his corner nnd the I'allforniun
wus unublu to respond when the bell called
him for the fourih.
Choynskl's seconds threw up the ppongo
as McCoy rushed from his corner for the
opening of the fourth round and McCoy
was declared the winner.

Jluslc-iovlng Omaha , irrespective of na-

well repaid for its trouble.
The entertainment was described ns a
"Song lecture recital. " Each number wni
preceded by a 'brief ' explanatory introduc
tion. These talks went into the legend *
nnd traditions of ancient Ireland. Many
of those presunt were surprised to learn j
that there is such a thing as n Hibernian
mythology , but it seems that quite a nurns
i ber of the old ballads of Erin are based
upon myths of the Tenth century and even
earlier.

as she has her minstrels , " Queen Elizabeth
both is reported to have said.
"Oh , hang the minstrels ! " exclaimed bes-
prime minister.
