Evarts to Senator Joseph Arkell:
SIN response to many inquiries and requests
made me from all parts of the State, l take the
liberty. in this form, of making public my readi-
ness and desire to be considered among the can
aidates for election by the Legislature as sena-
Tor from this State. In asking this favor and
the support of the Republican senators and
nssenblymen for this distinguished and respon-
sible representation of this great State in the
Senate of the United States have no occasion
to qualify or restate the principles OF the
Republican party, or my own hearty
Acceptance and undoubting maintenance
of those principles. The Republican
party in its declaration of its opinions and its
purposes, has never used language obscure, I'M
certain or framed in q double sense. In the
last appeal of the great political parties to popu-
and cardinal objects of the Republican party
have been presented to the country without con
cealment or dissInuation In this last as in
every earlier struggle to maintain the supremacy
of Republican policy in the government OF the
of the country, ] have given every aid in my

FULL OF PINS AND NEEDLES.
Singular Explanation of Strange Attempt
TO Take Away Woman's Life.


Buffalo Special to Chicago News
A woman whose body is full of broken pins,
hair-pins, needles, and knitting-needles was
saken to the Erie county almshouse for treat
Hent on the 2lst.of October She is thirty-fve
years old, and was accompanied by her husband
Levi Seely, who claims to be in his eighty fifth
year. The couple came to Sardinia in this
county At various times since the 18th of last
July nearly one hundred of the fragments have
been removed from the womans back and arms,
the last, headess pin, being taken out last
Friday Fortunately none has as yet touched
o vital point, but such accident is
liable to happen at any moment. The husband
has until recently professed ignorance as 10 the
manner in which pins and needles were placed
iii the body of his wife. She, too at first said
she had no idea how they came there. A short
time since, however, she gave it as her belief
that her husband and a woman of Sardinia,
named Mrs, George Robinson. guilty of the
crime of placing these pins in her body. This
woman, she said, had been strawberrying with
her Levi, had fshed with him, and spent much
of her time at their house Mrs. Robinson was
also the cause, so the indignant wife asserted, of
infideity on the part of old man Seely. Mrs.
Seely also AYERS that Mrs. Robinson placed
her under the influence of morphine,
and she believes that while in that condition
the needles and pins were placed in her body.
The wfes story has led to the examination of
the old man. He alleges that certain occa-
sion, while he sick abed and his wife lay
beside him, the Robinson woman, who was stop
ping at his house to nurse them, poured a liquid
of a whitish color down the throat of his wife
A few minutes previously he had seen her
pounding up something on a stone at the door
which glistened and looked like needles. He
further stated that in speaking to Mrs Robin
son afterward of. what he had seen she threat
ened to deal with him In the same manner if he
ever whispered a word of it to any one, and that
previous to the commission of the act she had
agreed to take the place OF his wife if the latter
could be got out Of the way. The case will be
presented to the next grand Jury.

A TEXAS SENATOR'S ESCAPADE.
A Son of Sam Houston Threatens q Police
man, and Passes Night in Jail.

GALVESTON, Tex, Dec, 22.-Last night Hon.
Temple Houston, son of the illustrious Sam
Houston, and senator-elect from the Panhandle
district, while in state of intoxication, at
tempted to take the life of Policeman John
Smith, who had placed him on a street-car with
the intention of seeing him home After Smith
had got Mr. Houston aboard of the car, paid his
fare and instructed the driver where to let him
off he excused himself to Houston and left the
car Houston followed him, and insisted that
Smith should go into the grocery store OF Z:
Jordan and drink with him. Smith demurred
to this, when Houston seized him, drew him up
into the doorway, and, as quick as a flash,
whipped out his navy revolver and presented it
full in the officers face, saying: Il will show
you the kind of q man am" Smith
lodged and as he did so seized Hous-
which caused him to drop his revolver, when
a struggle ensued resulting in Officer Smith tax
ing Houston to the police station, where Hous-
ton became so violent and abusive that the chief
Of police ordered him to jail to sober up. On
the way to Jail he resisted so violently that
force had to be used, and he was landed in that
institution all covered with mud hatless, and
almost shoeless where he remained the greater
part of the night until he sobered up, when he
was released on bond to appear before the re-
cOrder in the morning to answer to the charge
of assault with intent to commit murder, ard an
other for carrying concealed deadly weapons.
Houston had arrived here but recently with the
intention of spending the Christmas holidays
with his wife and friends in this city, prior to
his departure for Austin, to take his seat in the
forthcoming Legislature. His escapade is deeply
lamented by his host of friends in this city,
where he is much admired for his ability and
social Qualities.
