The Wandering nnelists.

RICHMOND, VA, June 29.-This is the
tenth day since the hostile correspondence
between Messrs. Beirne and Elan began.
1t is believed by many here that those gen.
tlemen have taken private conveyau ces
Deirne left Lewisburg, West Virginia, on
Monday last, aud the theory of many is that
he is driving across the country to meet Elan
somewhere, possibly in the Valley. The lat
t'r, 1t is believed, left here about the same
time in carriage. Nothing definite, how
ever, is known, and this theory is not based
upon any better evidence than the fact that
IL is known that the railroads are carefully
watched by the authorities. 1t is believed
here that the duel will take place. The
police, however, are exceeding active. Many
prominent citizens have urged upon the
authorities the propliety of taking steps 70
cause the arrest of Beirne and Elan.

The Situation in Ohio.

WASHINGTON, June ga reporter OF
the San asked Mr.. John G. Thompson for
his views on the political situation of Ohio.
Mr.. Thompson said he was not prepared at
this time to discuss the situation in Ohio.
He remarked, however, that the nomina
tion OF Judge Hoadly for Governor was cal
culated to united the Democratic party in
Ohio and bring out a full vote for the ticket.
He said the platform adopted by the con-
vention was strong and substantial
Its opposition to prohibition would
undoubtedly secure the Democrats
large number of votes which
otherwise they would not receive. They in
tend TO hold the Republicans up to the re-
cord they made on the liquor question at the
last election. Notwithstanding John Sher-
mans efforts in behalf Of the liquor men
during the discussion of the whisky bill at
the last session of Congress, it is hardly
probable that those who took issue with the
Republicans on that question at the last
election will change their votes in the coming
contest

A Detective After Hallett.
[Dover Sentinel.l

A person representing himself as one of
Pinkerton's detectives visited the Secretary
OF State early in the week and received from
him over the official signature, the
rest of Collingwood P. Hallett. This
person said that Hallett was then in
the State of New York, but that
the reward was not enough to take
him. A photograph of Hallett, said to
have been taken while he was walking the
streets, was shown to different parties in
Delaware and a great deal of talk has been
gotten up over the ability of these detectives
to deliver the prisoner. The methods and
the great amount of bluster cast no little
doubt over the probability Of Hallett's cap
ture through this instrumentality.

Ovposine tic Re-eleclion of Hickey.

There is a strong movement afoot to de-
feat the reelection of Clerk of the Market
Hickey whose term of office expires shortly.
Among the candidates thus far named are
ex- Clerk Phipps, Deputy United States
Marshal Ainscow, Edward j. White end ex.
Coroner Weldin. Various members OF
Council are being importuned personally
and by letter 20 elect someone in
Hickey's place. Mr.. Hickey on the
other hand is working hard for
reelection and has already secured a petit
tion by 237 farmers asking his reappolnt'
ment. His main opposition, he thinks, is
from a commission merchant with whom
the clerk has had a slight difficulty with
reference to short measure.

How a MiddIetown Man was Viotimized
to the Extent of $81.
dletown Transcript


A swindler calling himself Mumford and
representing himselfto be the advance agent
of circus, succeeded in victimizing Mid
dletown man to the extent of SS1, few
days ago. He came here with bundle OF
blank contracts and announced that the
circus he represented would exhibit at Mid
dletown on July 81. He engaged a lot and
made contracts for beef, hay, wagons and
carriages, and board for 80 persons,
After completing his arrangements
he induced one of the persons with
go to the Citizens National Bank
with him and identify him to the cashier,
saying that he had draft for S9065 which
he wanted the money for. The Middletown
man did not suspect anything crooked about
the advance agent until some time after he
had left by the southbound train, ostensibly
for Dover. A thought then came into the
Middletowns mans mind that perhaps all
was not right with the draft, so he sent
a telegram to the bank that had issued
it and received an answer that the draft
was for only S9.65. 1t had been raised to
S9065. The Middletown man is therefore
$S1 out of pocket. The draft was issued
by the First National Bank of Red Bank,
N. j., on the National Park Bank of New
York city, payable to Henry Mumford.
When the swindler produced his draft
and asked his victim to identify him he
said he never carried much money with
him. "This is the way l get it as I go
along" he remarked. And he probably
told the truth. The ra sing OF the draft had
been so cleverly done that the bank officers
could not detect it, The swindler is small
man with red hair and moustache. His
game was played very cleverly from begin
ming 10 end, and it is not at all strange that
the Middletown man was trapped into the
identification.

other things. No one was hurt and the
wagon was but slightly damaged.

An EstlmabIe Young Man Dead.

The Middletown Transcript of yesterday,
says: William Polk, Jr., youngest son of
the late Charles Tatman Polk, died at his
residence near Middletown yesterday after
noon, of congestion of the brain. He had
been ailing for several days but was not
confined to his house until Monday; and his
Illness did not take serious turn until
Thursday morning. His sudden death was
great shock to his relatives and
friends. Mr.. Polk was a most worthy
young man, and was much esteemed by
his associates for his amiable and genial
disposition and his many other excellent
traits of character. He was born and grew
up in Odessa, where, as a child and lad,
he was loved by all. He was educated at
Swarthmore College. About three years
ago he engaged in farming on the "Rum-
sey" farm, about one and half miles Yves t
of Middletown, where he has since resided.
His death is a sad blow to his mother aud
has cast a gloom over this community. The
funeral will take place on Monday, July 2,
at Q o'clock, from the residence of his
mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Polk, Odessa. In
terment at Drawyer's cemetery.
