A NOVEL ELECTION BET.

Chicago Doctor Presiding at a Bar
rel Organ Four Hours for a Good
Purpose.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-At the burning of
the Culver building, in North La Sale
street, last month, James Carr delib-
erately sacrificed his life in plotting 1S
girls in his charge to the fire-escapes. He
left an aged father dependent for bread.
In making an election bet, two old citi-
Zens recalled this incident of heroism,
and arranged a programme, which was
carried out to-day at the corner of State
and Randolph streets. At noon, as the
heavy mist of the morning had
thickened into a steady drizzle, a
man, with white hair reaching
to his shoulders and long gray
beard sweeping his broad chest, stepped
from 67 Randolph street and sat down on
a cheese box close to the doorway. He
was followed by a blind man carving a
barrel organ. This the blind man placed
on the iron grating between the old man's
knees, and stepped aside to make room
for heavy mOustached man in a blue
suit, VINO, after placing glass box about
Is inches square on the organ, took posi-
ti0n at the old mans side. The latter
then spit in his hands, seized the crank of
the organ, and produced the opening bars
VI budI petGH6JlC pIOuuCblOU, never miss
the water till the well runs dry" while
the mOustached man drew from beneath
his coat contribution plate, which he
held extended at arms length.
The old man was DIR. John Phillips, the
mOustached man Ed Gray, caterer at 67
Randolph street, and the blind man was
W. d. Webb, the eX-railroad conductor,
whose Duge form and tawny beard are fa-
miliar to every one. He furnished the
organ, the crank to which DIR. Phillips
had agreed to turn from noon until D.
m. in case Blaine was defeated. Had
Cleveland been defeated, Ed. Gray would
have furnished the motive power, and
DIR. Phillips held the plate.
In less than two minutes 100 persons
stood on the sidewalk around the musi-
clan, and 10 minutes later the crowd had
increased five-fold. Pennies, nickeIs.
dimes, quarters, halves, dollars and gold
pieces flowed into the box. In half an
hour it contained not less than $50 The
rain poured down. The doctor sent his
hat IN out Of the wet, and Ed Gray held
an umbrella over his gray head. The or
gan walled out its notes as though under
protest. The doctor never spoke. When
the strains of the organ ceased at 4o'clock
the party skipped into Gray's place and
sorted out and rolled up 1886 for the help

Then came round after round of some
thing to clear the fog from their throats.

NO CABINET YET SELECTED.
OUACKs SHOWN NO MERCY.

People Pretending to be Doctors Must
Take the Consequences if Prescrip-
tions Kill.
Boston, Nov. 26.-The Supreme Judi
cial Court for the commonwealth has
Overruled the exceptions of the defendant
in the case of Franklin Breace, who was
convicted at Worcester of manslaughter,
in causing the death of Mary A. Bemis.
The defendant represented himself as ply
sician, and his treatment of Mrs. Bemls,
which the jury found to have caused her
death. was in prescribing that kerosene oil
should be applied to her body in large quanti-
ties, The defense relied principally upon the
case of the Commonwealth VS.. Thompson, de-
cided In 1893, where it was held that, "It one,
assuming the character of physician. through
ignorance administers medicine to his patients
with an honest intention and an expectation
of a cure. but which causes the death OF pa
tient, he is not guilty of felOniOus homicide. y
The full court in sustaining the views of the
lower court have reversed the decision in the
Commonwealth vs.. Thompson case, which
they hold is not good law; and it
is also held that person
who pretends to be a physician, and admins
ters medicines the consequences of which he
has no knowledge and cannot foresee, is guilty
of criminal carelessness. This decision is of
especial interest to the District Attorney of
Suffolk county, who has delayed the trial of
Mrs. DIR. Helen Cumming to await the dis
position of the Worcester case. Mrs. DR..
Cumming gave prescription that caused the
death of a lady in South Boston.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga reporter met
Senator Voorhees, at the capitol to-day
and asked him about the story of disa-
greement between Gov. Cleveland and
Mr.. Hendricks. ooh, pshaw!" exclaimed
the Senator with impatience; "that story
was rot, hog-wash, of the very lowest and
meanest sort. 1t was so silly, absurd and
disgusting that l can't talk OF it with pa
tience. Why, to believe that man would
have to set both Cleveland and Hendricks
down as blackguards of the lowest type,

other as soon as they met. Gov. Hen

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 26.-The Courier
Journal recently sent a staff correspon-
dent to investigate the reported rayages
of the dread disease in Eastern Kentucky
and Western Virginia. The correspon-
dent sends the following from Williams,
burg, KY:
W. c. Lester. a prominent attorney of this
place. has just arrived from Mount Pleasant. 4.

for two weeks past at court as acting Prose-

On Browns creek which rises in Harlan and
empties into the Cumberland river in BeIl
county, the disease is raging with frightfnI
fatality, and there are no means of keeping n
record Oh ueaLnS.
PRIMEVAL MEDICINES.
All along the banks of the stream peopIe
are sick and physicians and medicines, out
side of herbs and roots with whose curative
properties the natives are ACQUAINTED, are
unknown and unObtanabie. The epidemic is
rapidly spreading in Harlan county. In n
district covering the southern portion of
Letcher and Perry, the whole of Leslie and
the northwest portion of Bell counties, the
plague has obtained a foothold but the re-
ports as to its violence are very conflicting.
MIR. Lester thinks that the deaths run up into
the hundreds, while the number
of those attacked cannot be esti-
mated. The disease does not prevail
at Mt. Pleasant. Mr.. Lester further saws that
no one seemed to know the exact nature of
the pestilence. Most of the people called it
"nuX," and 1t is probably a very aggravated
form OF that disease. 1t begins with gripping
pains In the stomach. followed by q debili-
tatlng d1arrhGa and swelling of the throat
and II not fatal in three or four days the pa.
tlent as rule RECEIVERS. All reports agree as
to the cause of the epidemic, it being at
tributed To the use of impure water by the
natives. The season has been unusually dry,
streams, as a rule, consisting only of narrow
threads of murky, foul-smelling and
foul-tastIng water. The corn crop in
all the counties named above is
good, and starvation and want only exist
because the people can spare no time from tho
sick to gather it. No mills are running on the
smaller streams. My informant had no news
except in general way of the prevalence OF
the plague in Virginia or West Virginia.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The Federal grand
jury resumed its investigation as to the
alleged frauds in the second precinct of
the Eighth ward of this city this morning.
According to the face of the returns Mr..
Brand, DEM, received a plurality
over Leman, Rep, for State Senate of
over 200 votes. The jury called before it
a large number of persons, all of whom
declared positively that they voted Re-

printed upon them. Nearly 300 persons
have been summoned who claim to have
voted the Republican ticket, while the
ballots show that Leman received less
than 200 votes.
After hearing further evidence. includ-
ing that of Hon. E. B. Washburne and
other wsll-knOwn citizens, the Jury this
evening adjourned until Monday. The

WHY LINCOLN WAS SHOT.
Man Who Thinks He Knows n

Gen. Agnus, publisher Of the Baltimore

nication few days ago from physician
residing few miles from that city:

army who was condemned TO be shot Booth
went to the President and importuned him to
pardon his friend. Lincoln Welded and prom =
ised to pardon the condemned soldier. Booth
fell on his knees and bathed Llncoln's
hanus with his tears and kissed them,
ana left with the assurance that his
friends life would be spared The next
evening word was brought to Booth
that his friend was shot to DEATH Booth

were merely social. Politics were not touched

when she said "Andrew jackson King
knows more than he will tell" To a re-
porter he said he would say nothing on
the subject. but afterwards partly ac-
knowledged the truth of the assertions
made in the letter, but said that it was
two weeks before the deed was committed
that he slept with Booth at Mrs. Bowers,
at Washington. OF what he spoke to
Booth, or what Booth said to him when
the pair were tucked under the bed-cover,
Mr.. A. j. King would say nanght. He
states that the soldier in question for
whom Booth had plead, and who was
killed, was named Beale. Mr.. King, who
was shown the letter by a reporter, asked
the loan of it, to show it to Mr.. Sid Adams,
who is at the post office. When he re-
turned MIR. King stated that Mr.. Adams
had said that ''Its lie."
a well known citizen having an office
on Calvert street stated that he bad
learned from a relative who was in the
army at the time that he knew from per-
sOnal knowledge that itlwas on account of
the execution of Beale that Booth killed
Lincoln. There are some persons who
are inclined to believe this story. But
