HaIfthe Passengers Carried Pistols

During . heated discussion as to the
non-enforcement OF the municipal regula-
tions against carrying deadly weapons
which took place IN q night car on the
Sixth Avenue surface road New York, one
OF the disputants offered to bet $40 that
over half the passengers carried pistols.
The bet was promptly taken. noses were
counted and showed IA male passenger,
and the conductor was to decide the bet. s
This he declined TO do, it being no part OF
bis regular duty. and the parties to the
wager went through the car, asking each
passenger to own up. Four men admitted
having pistols, three others exhibited
them, five shook their heads good natured-
ly, and two denied the mild impeachment
so hotly as to excite suspicion. The dead
lock seemed inevitable, but 3 woman sit
ting in the corner asked for the returns.
s'Ssven to seven," was the sad reply.
Count me in. Eight TO seven, l
guess" and throwing back her cloak. she
showed the pearl handle Of q revolver
The bet was settled, but the looser said
something about "a put up job" and
counted out"

There is also fifty dollars which can not
be accounted for by her friends, and which,
it is supposed, she took with her. 1t is not
believed for moment that there is an
elopement at the bottom of the mystery,
but either that she deliberately fed from
her home or that she wandered Off in a
half-demented condition. II that has
been the case, her fate must have been a
horrible one. The weather has been Bit
terly cold; she has not been seen at any
house or village in the county, and so
must have died from cold and want Of
food. Her nearest friends, however, be-
lieve in her death, and that the body now
lies beneath the frozen surface Of the
river.
Since her disappearance her papers and
writings have been examined, and among
them have been found numerous verses In
which self-destruction is mentioned.

A Parasitlcal wonder.
dublin Ca, Gazette.l

Certainly the most remarkable snake
story that we have ever heard comes from
old Pinetucky District, in this county. II
is no story, but 1t is vouched for by some
of the best men In the county, who saw the
wonderful monstrosity. Mrs. Bryant A.
Gray ordered beef killed, and pointed
out one which was small to its age, think.
ing that II would never be Of any size. The
COW was four years old, and its remarka
bly, small size had frequently been the sub
ject of comment. After the beef was
killed and the disemboweling process gone
through, Mr.. Cross Abbott noticed that
In one Of the larger intestines something
was seen to move and keep up constant
motion; curiosity led him to cut II open,
and as this was done a very large
snake, the coachwhip, ran on the
ground some distance, but was killed. By
this miraculous revelation, Mr.. Hover
Gray and Captain Abbot were almost con-
founded, but proceeded with the process
of butchering; but when the windpipe was
opened and the sack covering the "lights"
or lungs, they were doubly confounded 10
discover thhty-seven smaller snakes Of
the same species. Each one Of these was
holding on to the lungs, and thus, we pre-
sumo, securing life. After dressing the
beef IL only weighed eighty four pounds.
The story may seem impossible, but not
more so than Jonah and the whale. 1t may
have been q parasitical fungus, but the
gentlepen who saw 1t affirmed that the
parasites, II such you may term them,
were snakes, and the old.fashioned coach
whip, a variety in which the grass country
abounds,

A MAN WITH FOUR WIVES.
A Stop Put TO His Amatory Career by
Officers OF the Law.

lbhlllInOTo DptClhsl
s. L. Harry, man with four wives, was
arrested in Nottaway County, Va, yester-
day, charged with bigamy. He is held by
the Virginia authorities for requisition
from the Governor Of Maryland, as one Of
his wives, q former Miss Everist, Of this
city, and now living at her home here, has
preferred the charge against him. Harry
is fifty-ive years Of age. He was once a
merchant in New York, and there he had
but one wife. He went to Pennsylvania
and took unto himself another wife. After
living with her several years he crossed

be entered into natrimony, and, to cap the
climax. about eight months ago he made
the acquaintance Of Miss Everist and capt
ured another bride. With her he went 10
Virginia, purchased q small farm In Not
taway County, and started acountry store.
Two months after the marriage she re-
turned to Baltimore and declared sho lhad
TO leave him. She heard Of the New Jer.

A PATHETIC LOVE STORY.
About n Sweet Girl Who Wrote Poems

Boston Cor. Chicago Tribunal

hhu Stuuent VINO WAS Scoundrol.
Boston Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
There was put into my hands the other
day thin volume Of poems, beautifully
bound in fooled morocco and printed
for private circulation among the
friends Of the author, brilliant and
gifted woman who died last summer,
scarcely in her prime. Turning over its
leaves one who knew her sad story was
able TO read between the lines and under
stand the bitterness Of soul in which the
lyrics must have been written, although
the sorrow they breathe is too deep to find
relief In bitter words. Some years ago the
poet, Miss -, while a student IN Agas-
siz's school at Cambridge, became engaged
TO the son of one Of the professors at Har-
ward. Neither Harvard University, where
he was studying, nor Heidelberg, where
he was going for professional training,
would grant him diploma as a married
man, yet he was unwilling to go to Ger
many without having bound his hancee
TO him by legal ties. She consented at last
TO his urgency and the marriage was cell
ebrated privately, yet in an Episcopal
chapel and in the presence Of the fam
lilies OF the contracting parties. For the
first year or two after going abroad the
husband wrote to his young wife, who was
still known under her maiden name and
who was devotedly attached to him. Then
by degrees his letters became less frequent
and the dreary old story Of desertion was
repeated. The wife refused TO believe, for
woman's trust will outlive many hard
blows, until O friend returning from
Europe brought proof Of the recreant hus-
bands marriage with foreign singer.
She had meanwhile been as faithful In
thought as in deed. Her attractiveness
made her the recipient Of many attentions,
but she rejected them all, acting her hard
part with sweetness and a fortitude
which won her devoted friends Of those
she would not countenance as lovers.
When the proof Of her husbands baseness
could no longer be gainsaid she obtained q
legal separation, but she was wounded In
her very soul. She was brilliant and
finely-educated woman, with varied gifts,
and TO the cultivation Of these she devoted
herself with feverish energy which told
those who knew her story Of the flerceness
Of the unrest within. Her husband has
never revisited this country.

John II. Feldkamp's Presence Of Mind and
Nerve Save His Life.


[Clncinnat Enquircrl
The wholesale clothing house of Leon,
Marks & Co., corner Of Pearl and Vine
streets, was the scene, Saturday morning,
Of a remarkable exhibition Of self.pos.
session and nerve on the part of John H.
Feldkamp, cutter in the employ Of the
firm, by the exercise Of which he undoubt-
edly saved his life. 1t appears that
spring broke on the machine Mr.. Feldkamp
was operating, and in reaching to pick up
the detached piece his beard, fully fifteen
inches in length, became entangled in the
machinery and was rapidly wrapped up in
IL, threatening TO draw his head in and
crush 1t. As quick as thought he threw out
his arms and braced them against tho
frame Of the cutter. A moment later and
his beard was partially torn out by the roots,
the remainder, together with the flesh on
the chin, was torn from his face, exposing
the gum Of his lower jaw. Every atton.
tion was rendered him by the members of
the firm and his fellow.employes as soon
as the accident was discovered. A physl.
clan was summoned, and the laoerated
flesh placed back over tho wound and
sewed in position, after which Feldkamp
was conveyed to his home, southeast cor.
ner Of Cutter and David streets, in car.
riage. When an Enquirer reporter visited
Feldkamp's house last night he was sleep.

THE LATEST FRAUD.

4 Clothing House Salesman's Ingenious
Way of Increasing His Income.
New York, October 26.-Albert n. Nor
ris, who was arrested to-day for robbing his
employers-a large clothing house firm
had devised q new and ingenious system OF
fraud He operated in cases Of exchange.
If a customer came to return an overcoat
or a suit, or any other article, Albert would
give him something Of superior quality on
payment of the difference. For example,
he would arrange with the purchaser for
an exchange necessitatipg the payment Of
an additional margin of $40. He then
would 90 to the cashiers desk with an
overcoat or suit, as the case might be, rep
resenting q smaller difference, or none at
all. Then he would take this low priced
garment back to his counter and, By a little
legerdemain, quickly get it out Of the way,
and pack up the more expensive article, for
which the larger amount had been paid.
In this way ne received more money from
his customers than he handed in at the
cashiers desk. On Saturday last his manip-
ulations netted S32.
For some time he has been so liberal in
his expenditure as to excite the surprise and
the envy of his less favored colleagues. He
was in the habit of going to the theatres
and fashionable centres OF amusement and
was not stingy about taking friend with
him, and bearing all the expense. One OF
these friends, named James Crane, holds a
similar position in the establishment at
similar salary He made confident Of
Crane, who betrayed him to the principal
partner in the firm.

The Republicans stake All ON Carrying

New YORK, October 26.-It has come TO
be generally recognized that the outlook for
Mr. Blaine in New York State is by no
means bright. The Independent strength
is too great, and the other influences ar
raved against him make it extremely
probable that he will be defeated
there Mr.. Elkius and the gentle
men associated with him fully appreciate
this important fact, and desired the impress
sion 10 prevail that the fight is to be made
in New York. 1t is not. Perhaps this was
the original intention, but the plans have
changed. The real fight will be in Indiana,
New Jersey and Connecticut. 1t is in In
diana that the work Of the party will
be concentrated during the remain
ing days of the campaign. The
army of Federal ofiiceholders is already
on the ground and money is being poured
into the State as fast as ii finds its way into
the campaign treasury. The popularity OF
Hendricks in his native State, according to
Republican sources Of information, is the
chief thing the managers have to contend
against. If the sentiment esnnot De dist
pated in any other way, an ssort will be
made to dispel it with the greei.backs. In
diana has been carried by soap before.
and it can doubtless be done again. At all
events there is the intention to tryit

A DOUBTFUL STATE.

Colorado not Certain for the Republicans.
WASHINGTON, October 26.-Nr. Blsines
friends are worried about Colorado. They
have learned from themost authentic sources
that the election of the Republican ticket
in that State, both local and national, is in
crave doubt. Private letters from Re-
publicans in Colorado assert that
the fight between Secretary Teller
and Senator Hill for the latter seat in the
United States Senate has become so bitter
that the friends of each are likely to defeat
the other, and thus allow the Democrats to
capture the Legislature and the Electoral
votes. This would mean the loss of Re
publican Senator at time when he cannot
well be spared. and a deduction of three
votes from the Blaine Electoral column,
Just when the candidate will need all ne can
get. The contest is represented as turning
upon the vote Arapahoe county, in which
Denver is situated. Secretary Teller is re-
ported as willing to get out Of the fight for
the sake Of party harmony, and Senator Hill
is quoted as saying that he will retire if his
competitor will. But so much bad blood has
already been stirred up that the rank and
.iie ofthe two factions refuse to allow the
leaders to withdraw and insist upon running
separate legislative tickets in Denver. The
best informed Republicans believe that un-
less this trouble can be speedily healed the
State ticket will be lost, and with 1t the
electoral vote.
