A MAN appeared before Justice Mark
ham last week showing signs of an ag-
gravated assault. He informed the
justice that he worked at the asylum and
that he was thus beaten by the Assistant
Superintendent. A warrant was issued
but subsequently it was learned that the
complainant was one of the inmates of
the asylum. Mr. Wits, one of the asylum
truste es heard of the matter and at once
ordered an investigation. 1t is said there
was no adequate provocation for the
assault.
LATER.-On examination it appears
that the lunatic was not treated too
harshly. He has mania which makes
it unsafe to allow him to be near the fe-
male patients. Mr.. Melby interfercd to
prevent the fellow from entering the fe-
male ward and the lunatic caught Mel
by's thumb in his mouth and held on to
it until his jaws were pried open. 1t was
during this time he was struck.

ton and Franklin.
Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, October 12.-The campaign
work, SO far as the state committees are con-
cerned, is at an end. The candidates are hust
ling about the state with surprising nimbleness
and the time for fine work has arrived. During
the last day or two the democrats have been
very conf1dentove the probable poll of the pro
hibition vote In some of the strong republican
counties. It is now claimed that DR.. Leonard
will poll not less than 1900 votes in Clark
county, ex-Speaker Keifer's home. Should this
estimate hold good, and the estimates made by
the prohibition managers in other sections OF
the state be verified, the election of Hoadly
would follow. On the other hand, the republi-
cans claim that the prohibition vote has been
greatly overestimated. The result tomorrow
undoubtedly hinges on the result in Hamilton,
Cuyahoga, Lucas and Franklin counties. So
far as Franklin Is concerned, the democrats
will lose heavily because of the opposition to
Allen o. Myers. In Lucas a local contest and
party chickering's will undoubtedly injure the
ticket. Information from Cleveland and Gin
cinnati is decidedly mixed, and neither party
is fully satisfied with the outlook. The Cfncin-
natl Germans are very non-committal, and it is
judged by the republicans that this is calculated
to be in their favor. A year ago the democrats
denounced the Germans "for going back on
them" and 1t is said the Germans remembered
the scoring they received. The fact that the
republican legislative ticket in Hamilton
county is largely composed of Germans is re-
garded as sufficient reason to predict that the
republicans will be able to nearly hold their
own, but it is hardly probable that they will be
able to elect their full legislative ticket.
Early in the campaign there was considerable
on the Western Reserve, but
Senator Sherman has succeeded in awakening
the republicans in that stronghold, and should
fair weather prevail, very full vote is looked
for, which would, of course, be of great advan-
tage to the republicans. The uncertainty that
exists In regard to the strength of the third
party stands in the way of forming a correct
opinion Of the result. It may be said, however,
that the best informed democrats rely upon the
prOhibitfonists polling $4,000 to carry Hoadiy
through. Today 1t is not believed that Leonard
will poll to exceed Is 900.

SHOCKING TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
An Insult To q Girl which Cost the
Lives Of Three Men.

PITTsBURG, PA, October 12.-News has
reached here of triple tragedyin an unfrequente
ed portion of Franklin township. SATURDAY
nightValentineP ffefer, a youngGerman farmer,
and a man named Mcdonald went to the cabin
of Zacharias Wright, occupied by Wright and
his wife, daughter and two sons. The two began
beating on the door and calling Mrs. Wright
and her daughter vile names. Failing to break
down the door, Mcdonald went 10 the rear OF
the house and attempted to enter through d
window. When half way he was caught and
stabbed in the neck by one of the Wright BROTH
ers, the cut reaching from the right ear to tho
juguar vein. This was followed by q second
stab i'm the breast, when Mcdonald fell back
lifeless. When Pfiefer saw the bloody body Of
his comrade, he drew his revolver and began
firing into the house. The second shot struck
Adam Wright In the breast, and the third in
the face. The fourth shot struck his brother
solomon, who had sprung to catch Adam, In
the left breast. Pfeffer then disappeared, and
has not been seen since. The remainder Of the
Wright family quickly summoned doctors, who
pronounced both the brothers injuries fatal.
The tragedy grew out of a quarrel at q former
meeting, when Pfeffer had been roughly ham
died by the Wright boys after insulting their
sister.

no Hellenic kingdom to-day. The inference Is
obvious. TricOnyrics will have an interview
with Lord Salisbury this afternoon SO that his
next utterance will be more important
