A CAMPAIGN STORY.
How Hill Beat Higginbotham for TIE

Collector in Ebert.
From the Elberton, (Ga.) Star.
Several candidates were on the street the
other day discussing the science of election
eering, when Matt Willis, our efficient
clerk OF court, remarked
"Well, boys. its mighty hard to tell
which is the best plan to tickle the fancy
of the average voter. Sometimes one
plan will work well and at another time it
won'S I don't know that too much talk
ing and pleading does any particular good,
We all remember the race between higgfn-
botham and Hill for tax collector. Higgin-
botham was gallant confederate soldier
who had lost both legs in the war. He
was a good officer aud known and
liked by every one IN the county. Hill,
bis opponent, vas total stranger 10 four
fifths Of our people He SIMPLY announced
himself as a candidate and then went home
and attended to his duties. don't think he
ever asked man to vote for him. On the
other hand, he publicly stated that he had
no hope Of being elected, but only made the
race that the people might know that such
a KAN as himself was in existence. When
election day came, Hill was in Elberton,
but don't think he approached a man.
He sat by the well all day, answered every
one that accosted him pleasantly, and
when urged to 60 to work, said it was no
use as he knew he had no chance for cleo
ton and refused to bulge an inch. When
the returns cameiu, to the surprise of every
one, it was found that Hill was elected by
over 200 majority Districts in the county.
where Hill did not know a single man, gave
him an overwhelming majority"
1t is said that HIPS election was due
principally to joke. No one had any idea
that be could beat Higginbotham, and when
they saw his ind fer CO at the result, would
go aud put IN vote for him as a matter of
jes-. So mary, however, played this joke
that he was elected.

The New Lien Llw Set Aside.

The decision of the Supreme Court of
the States given by Justice Williams in
Pittsburg on Monday last sets aside
the entire new lien law passed by the
last Legislature on the broad ground
that it is unconstitutional. The Legis-
lature strangely omitted to recite the
lien laws of 1886 and 1s45 which it in
tended to amend, and that is so clearly
in disregard of positive mandate of
the Constitution that the Supreme
Court could do no less than declare the
act null and void,
The effect of the decision of the Sup
RENE Court viii be to destroy all liens
entered against properties by individu-
al mechanics or material men dealing
with sub contractors. Many such have
been entered during the last year,
instead of claiming and entering them
only "on the basis of contract, ex.
pressed or implied, with the owner and
on the credit of the building as the
Supreme Court defines the rights; and
all such liens will be valueless and the
costs will tall upou those who entered
them.
This decision of the court OF last re-
sort does not comprise the mechanics
liens of the State, except IS they have
been entered by individuals or dealers
with sub contractors under the act Of
January II, 1887. The acts of 1886
and ls45, with the judicial decisions
made under them, remain in full force,
aud all liens entered by material men
or mechanics in accordarc with the old
laws, as njno-tenths of all haN been, are
valid liens and fully protect parties
| in their claims. - Times.

Another Woman Murdered.
THE wHITECHAPEL FIEND ADDS ONE MORE
TO THE LIST.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The murder fend
has added added another to his list of
victims. At IL o'clock this morning
the body of woman cut into pieces
was discovered in house on Dorset
street, Spitalfields. The police are en-
deavoriDg to track the murderer with
the aid of bloodhounds. The remains
were mutilated in the same horrible
manner as were those of the other
women murdered in Whitechapel.
The victim, like all the others, was a
disreputable woman. She was married
and her husband was a porter. They
had lived together at spasmodic inter-
walls. Her name is believed TO have
been Lizzie Fisher, but I'D most of the
habitues of the haunts she was known
as Mary Jane. She Tad a room in the
house where she was murdered. She
carried latch key, and no one knows
at what hour she entered the house last
night, and probably no one saw the
man who accompanied her. There
fore it is hardly likely that he will ever
be identified, He might easily have
left the house at any time between |
and 6 o'clock this morning without
attracting attention, The doctors who
have examined the remains refuse to
uake any statement until the inquest
is held.
The bloodhounds belonging to pri
vate citizens were taken to the place
where the body lies and placed on The
scent of the murderer, but they wer,
unable to keep it for any great distance
and all hopes of running the assassiJ
down with their assistance will bav,

A Hawk Attacks A Man.

RooKLAND, Pa, Nov. 10.--James =.
Schaeffer of this place had a remark.
able experience with q chicken hawk
few days ago. He was driving along
the road, and had seen the hawk sail
ing about high in the air for some
time. Finally he noticed that the biz d
was rapidly descending, and, supposing
that il was dropping down on prey of
some kind, stopped his team to watch
the result of the attack.
Whether the hawk concluded that
Schaeffer was there TO antagonize it in
its efforts to get dinner, and deter.
mined to resent interference, Schaeffer
is not able to explain, but he was not
long in discovering that he himself
was the object of the big birds attack.
1t swooped down upon him with ter
rible fierceness, struck at him savagely
with both beak and talons, and then
alighted on the ground at the roadside,
where it put itself in unmistakable
fighting position.
Schaeffer was greatly surprised at
this attack, but, supposing that it
wouldn't be much of trick to whip q
chicken hawk, he got out of his wagon.
He had scarcely placed his feet on the
ground when the hawk rushed at him,
half flying and half running. Schaef-
fer met the bird with vigorous kick
in the breast, but that only had the eff
feet of adding 10 its rage. The man
quickly made up his mind that he had
met an antagonist little tougher than
he had counted en-, and, grabbing a
stick from the roadside, went into the
fight in earnest.
Before Schaeffer could effectively
use his club on the fierce and active
hawk it had ripped his clothes with its
talons as if the rens had been made
with sharp knife, and laid the flesh
open IN great gashes on his face, legs
aud shoulders. AT last a lucky blow
with the club stunned the bird, and be-
fore it could recover Schaeffer des-
patched it.
He was so badly hurt that be had
to return home and get medical attend
ance. lie is still housed up. The
hawk measured nearly six feet from
tip to tip of its wings, and Schaeffer
says that he believes it would haye
got the best of him if he had not been
lucky enough to find the club within
his reach. Such q wild attack on a
man by hawk, bird naturally shy
of the human presence, is undoubtedly
without a nrecedent
