The result of the Deacon's theory, when re-

equally strong in all their parts. Disease at
tacks them; the feeble part gives way; others
follow, and the human vehicle is a wreck in

STAR ROUTE ARGUMENTS.
An Effort to Secure but One Summing
up for Each Defendant.

WASHINGTON, May n.-In the star
route trial to-day Mr.. Wilson concluded
his Introductory remarks and then began
the discussion of the different routes
named in the indictment, following the
example of the prosecuting counsel, When
the hour for adjournment was reached
Mr.. Wilson had disposed of three of the
nineteen routes. The court then said that
it was manifest that the argument under
the present arrangement would be pro-
tracted, and the counsel We're therefore
notified that one representative only would
be heard for each defendant,
the defense protesting against this
ruling, and asserting that time would be
saved by an adherence to the original
plan, as the counsel would not cover the
same ground in their arguments. The
only effect of their appeals, however, was
to induce Judge Wyllie to withhold
until Monday formal ruling in the matter.
The court adjourned until Monday.

RAIDING THE GAMBLERS.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Tools
Burned in Public.

NEW ORLEANS, May 1.-THE PicG-
guae'S Nashville (Tenn.) special says:
Give thousand dollars worth of gambling
apparatus were burned in the public
square yesterday by order of the Criminal
Court. At least 500 gamblers have left,
or will leave, ON account of the act of the
Legislature making gambling a felony.
Many of the sports have gone to Chicago.
ATLANTA. May 1.-THE raid by thepo
lice ON the Big Bonanza gambling saloon
last night, is a death blow to the last
prominent gambling hell on the main
street. The gamblers say to-day that it
was not in operation, but that is ''tOO
thin" as the police captured tables,
checks, money and other appliances. At
lanta's leading gamblers are rich and in
ffuential, and use poor fellows to run their
establishments, so that they themselves
escaped nOtOriety.

A MARSHAL INDICTED.
Alabama Exercised Over POIitica
Sensation.

Alabama Exercised Over "a Political
Sensation.
MONTGOMERY, May 1i.-Paul Strobach
was appointed Marshal of the Southern
and Middle districts of Alabama about
the time Congress adjourned, and has held
the o flee ever since. Before his appoint
ment special agents of the Department OF
Justice were sent to Alabama to investi-
gate the books and accounts of his
predecessor, NJ. c. Osborne. They
have been here off and on since
then extending their investigation
especially in the Irregularities of the
Deputy Marshals in rendering accounts.
Brewster Cameron, chief of the special
agents, has been here about a week. Mr.
StrObach was deputy under Marshal
Turner i'll January and February, 1880.
To-day the grand jury of the United States
District Court returned five indictments
against Mr.. StrObach, charging him with
fraud in his accounts as Deputy Marshal.
His accounts were for services rendered
in arresting parties charged with depre
dating public lands in COyingtOn county.
The counts are five in number and con-
tain certain items for millage alleged never
to have been travelled, meals never eaten,
guards never employed and arrests never
made, the whole amounting to $6,31S.
Mr.. StrObaeh is under bond of 81, 600 and
he demands an immediate trial. The case
will probably be tried tomorrow or Mon
day. The indictment causes great eX-
citement here where Mr.. StrObach is re-
garded as the leading man of his party.
He claims to have good defense and that
the whole thing is plot among rival fac
tions in his party Republican to ruin
him and get HIM out of office.

CLAIMING HALFOF NEW JERSEY
An English Family Looking Up the
Death of an Ancestor.


The inhabitants of New JERSEY will be
startled to learn that a family in London
claims half the State by right of inheri-
tance. Letters on the subject have passed
between the family and Deputy Register
Nagle, of the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
who has been asked to search the
records for important facts to establish
the claim. The latest communication was
received yesterday by DR.. Nagle from
Lavina Fem Vaissiere, of No. rs Dynevor
road, Stoke-NewingtOn, London, England.
After asking about the registry of the
death of Mr.. Bethel, who made a will
in 1923, when he was about 40 or 80 years
of age, the writer goes on thus:
Ellis nephew, John Fem Betheli-Who
is my uncle-was then living with him as
private secretary, and has since died. The
money is put into chancery, and all rela-
tlYes OF the Bethells are now wanted to
claim moneys and estates, and If you
could make inquiries you would be paid
handsomely for your trouble providing
your efforts enable us to obtain the prop
erty, otherwise we could not remunerate
you, as we are only small tradespeOple.
Doubtless the property is immense, as
one-half of New Jersey belonged to my
great uncle, besides other es-
tates in America. His name was
either William or James. He went
over to New York from Stowe
Market Suffolk widower with son
and daughter. The daughter married a
black man named Richardson and they
lived in Orange street. Richardson died
from SunstrOke. The son is also dead
John Fem Bethel had also a brother
James, who went to America from Bury
st. Edmunds, in Suffolk, between forty
and fifty years later, and as we have not
since heard from him, we are very anX-
iOus to obtain the evidence if he is dead.
We would then be able to begin proceed
ings.'
DR.. Nagle says he has not begun the
search yet, but will look over the records
very soon.
