The attendance OF delegates from l70 local

has increased 60 rapidly that Inst week six
carloads, OF 10000 pounds cach, were aoll,

butchers engaged IN buying and selling
this meat in order 10 compel Them 10 take

New York, Oct, l2.-Therc were the

headquarters today. Among them were

who had remained over from Tuesdays
meeting. d. platt Carpenter, Howard Car.
penter, Howard Carroll, Stephen 3.
French, John 7. Slnyth, and others, talked
over the situation in tho committee. rooms.
Mr.. Carroll said he did not feel altogeth.

the machine members did not feel pleased
either with Mr.. Carro!l's speech accepting
the nomination. II n,s "a il

the committee, "and that he really intend.
ed 10 rcpudiate us aud his associate can.
didates on the ticket, we would have re.
gcinded his nomination in less than two
minutes and half" -. Gf@' y
The general opinion, however, was that
the independent attitude Mr.. Carroll took
in his speech and his open condemnation
Of the fraud and forgery business at Sara.
toga would greatly MD him in the canvass,
md cause him to run ahead OF his ticket.
lie intends to make an active canvass in
his own behalf. and deliver speeches in

by number Of friends, whose interest in
the canvass lies in Mr.. Carroll's success.
The principal Ionic OF cons ersa.ion about
the committee rooms was the effect in this
State OF the election OF Ohio. Chairmun
Smyth and others thought the result
would be beneficial, rs it would serve to
awaken greater interest in the cunvass on
the part Of the Republicans. "The Demo.
Gratis won in Ohio on the platform OF free
whisky and no Sunday" said Mr.. .Smyth.
"No, that is one OF The fruits OF Democratic
success. The repeal Of the tarin laws is
another danger, and still another greater
danger will be the removal Of all the safe.
guards placed about the ballot box, Then
in this State there will be a gerrymunder

y llrotlicr md Her Husband, D1E
MlLwAuHEE, October l2.-One Of the
most peculiar and outrageous cases Of al.
legged persecution which have ever been
recorded in this city has Just come to light.
The victim, Mrs. Lucy King, escaped from
the Insane Asylum at Wanwantosa on Sun.
day morning and is now concealed in this
city. She says that she came to this city
from Buffalo several years ago on IN invi.
tation given bv her brother, Charles A.
Steele, formerly II merchant here. After
having been bereavcd In tho death Of her
husband, whose name was J. Baker, she
brought with her to Milwaukee considera.
BILE money and securities left by. her hus-
band, including note against an eastern
man for $4,000, for money loaned. She
had been here but short time when her
brother induced her 10 turn this note and
all the spare money she had over to him.
A lew days after getting her property in
this way he had her examined by physi.
clan, declared Insane, and sent 10 the Osh.
kosh insane asylum. Here she was kept
nearly a year, when she got out
and managed to reach her home in New
York. She at once took measures to regain
her property which VAS in the possession
OF Steele, and while litigation in the case
was pending, started west again and stop
ped at jackson, Michigan, where she had
another brother. Here she became ac-
quainted with Il widower, DR.. King bv
name, whom she subsequently married.
She lived happily with King for more than
ayear when, through her brothers. intlu.
encc, rs she alleges, her SECOND husband
pretended to believe her insane and at
tempted 10 get her incarcerated in the Kal.
amazoo insane asylum. Fearing he would
succeed in. his purpose, Mrs King left
home suddenly and came TO Milwaukee,
her brother having in the meantime left
here. She had been here but few DAYS
when she was seized on the street one day
and taken to the Wanwatosa asylum,
where she was kept until last Sunday,
when she made her escape. Mrs. King
has engaged the best legal talent to push
her case, for she will not only endeavor to
get from her brother what he has already
secured from her, but will prosecute him
and her husband for having her iucar.
