on Champlain street was halted by woman
living around the corner, who informed him
that a burglar was trying to effect an entrance
by the back door The officer summoned help
and proceeded to the spot. Sure enough a
man was at work at the rear of the house, and
while he was prying up a window the officers
made a dash and collared him.
Il amt no burglar, he vigorously protested
as he was dragged along.
Don't let him get away!" shouted the woman
from a chamber window. and the officers took
good care that he didn't
Next morning the woman appeared at police
headquarters and said:

Won the Wager and Died.
YOUNG NEW YORKER DRINKS TWO BOTTLES c
CHAMPAGNE ON BET

A YOUNG NEW YORKER DRINKS TWO BOTTLES OF
CHAMPAGNE ON BET.
From the New York Star
Saturday night party of young men were
drinking heavily in saloon in New York Max
Schillak. who had imbibed a large quantity of
beer, offered to bet anyone that he could drink
two bottles of champagne without stopping.
The wager was quickly taken up. The wine
was ordered. and the young fellow set out on
his race TO death. He drank the first bottle
with difficulty, amid the plaudits of the
drunken crowd Then he started to drink the
second. Ii was slow work. but he managed to
finish the bottle even TO the last dregs. Then
he reached for the SIS he had won. Having OBJ
tanned 1t he sank exhausted to the floor.
A doctor was called in and the stomach pump
was used, but had no effect. All the known
remedies were administered. but the man never
regained consciousness, and died after the doc
tor had worked on him for nearly two hours.
During the time the physician was there the
now thoroughly sober crowd gazed speechlessly
at their dying comrade. Some of them offered
the physician II, 900 to save him. Schillac alb
sorbed the champagne so rapidly that the car
bonnie acid which it contained poisoned his
blood

where the blinds were ready for occupancy
After shutdown, when they had secured consid-
cradle game, they hOisted sail and endeavored
to make the landing from which they en-
parked. The night was very dark and they
were on the eastern side of the Chesapeake
when they started. The wind was northeast.
They did not discover that it had changed to
several points to the south, and lost their reck-

night was bitter cold, and the gale high. but

them to the shore. where, at midnight after be-

and soon had a cracking fire; but it was long
time before the half-frozen ladies recovered
Finding four hunks in the cabin, they. with
much persuasion, were induced to get a little
sleep. Suddenly piercing scream came from
Miss Nina. who sprang to the center of the
cabin holding her skirts high towards heaven.
The other young lady. frightened almost to
death, sprang from her berth, receiving sew

adding her soprano to the music. The trouble
was explained when the younger one exclaimed
Rats" Investigation proved that horde of
marsh rats had entered the cabin and sought
refuge under the blankets and the pillows. At
daybreak SUNDAY sail was hoisted, and, after
securing the bay shore for hours, they finally
discovered their landing, arriving home late
that evening. The girls were received with
open arms by their parents, who had given
them up for lost.

THE STRIKE IN THE PocAHoNTAs REGION LEADS
TO A BLOODY FIGHT.
A Roanoke special to the Baltimore American
last night says: Reports Of a riot on Elkhorn,
in the West Virginia coal regions, have reached
the city, causing much excitement, especially
among the colored people, who have many
kins-people working in the mines. Railroad
men who arrived to-day from that section re-
port that fight occurred about o'clock this
morning between the Pocahontss, Va, and Elk
horn miners, in which five white men and two
negroes we're killed, and several wounded.
The conflict was brought about by the Poca-
hontas miners again suspending work and go
ing to Elkhorn to induce a number of miners
who returned to work yesterday to again strike.
refusal to comply precipitated the fight. The
Pocahontas miners have been furnishing sup
plies to the strikers. There are 500 cars here
in the yard awaiting transportation to the Elk
horn region, but in consequence of the trouble
there the Norfolk and Western Railroad COM
pany has issued orders to hold them. The Roa-
noke Daily Herald has sent a special correspon-
dent to Elkhorn, who reports that the governor
of West Virginia was asked for troops but de-
clined to furnish them until the civil authori-
ties demonstrated their inability to preserve
order. 1t is believed the soldiers wifi now be
ordered out

A Sample of Lakeview Justice.

LAWYERS SUPPLIED WITH ALL SORTS OF LEGAL
DOCUMENTS SIGNED IN BLANK
Sensational disclosures prevailing an extra
ordinary state of affairs as regards the admin
istration of justices justice in Lakeview, near
Chicago, were made by II. 1. Anderson, city
attorney of Lakeview, in the county court
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Anderson laid be-
fore the court a pocket-book which had been
found by the police. 1t belonged to a lawyer
whose business is the collection of doubtful
claims. and it contained a large bundle of aff-
dayits In attachment garnishees, writs of resti-
tuition, summOnses and the like signed in blank
by justice OF the peace VIM. II. Young, of
Lakeview. With these documents in hand to
fill the blanks as he desired the lawyer had the
power to perpetrate almost any sort of outrage
in the name of the law.
Judge Prendergast rebuked the Justice
sternly and called on him to resign. Young
declined to do SO, and the Judge entered an
order directing him to file bond in 100000 to-
morrow morning for the faithful performance
of his duties. This is ten times the amount
usually required. The judge warned the justice
that in case the bond should not be forthcom-
ing at the time mentioned his office would be
declared vacant

KNOCKING OFF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE
SOLID SOUTH.
A Dover, Del, special to the Baltimore
American last night says: The reception given
Senator-eleet Anthony Higgins. by the State
republican club tonight was not only very
brilliant affair, but one of great moment to
the republican party of the state of Delaware.
for II made the occasion of the reunion of all
the leaders Of the different factions who fought
so stubbornly for the senatorial prize. Senator
Higgins IN his remarks congratulated Kent and
Sussex county republicans on the fact that they
had knocked of the northeast corner of the
solid south and done great deal toward solv-
ing the great race problem. They had made il
possible for a presidential candidate Of the
republican party TO be elected without waiting
to hear from the ciF Of New York. He saw a
bright future for the republicans Of Delaware.
He knew nothing but a united republican party

The Mudd-C Compton Contest.

HEARING OF TESTIMONY IN BALTIMORE YEsrER-
DAY-REJEcTED REPUBLICAN VOTES
The hearing Of testimony in the election con-
test between Barnes Compton, democrat. whose
plurality was only IS, and Sydney E. Mudd, re-
publican, candidates for Congress from the
fifth congressional district of Maryland, was
begun in Baltimore yesterday. Witnesses for
Mr.. Mudd, from Baltimore county and several
precincts OF Baltimore city, testified that they
were legally registered in their precincts, and
that when they presented at their polls repub-
hcan ballots these were rejected, because of
slight discrepancies between their names as
written upon the registration books and as
given by them at the polls. The boxes of re-
Jected ballots were in evidence and when
opened showed votes for Mudd. and that the
names upon the envelopes were the same as
given at the polls by the witnesses. The testi-
mony shows among the reasons for ballots be-
ing rejected: Attempting to vote using full
name when initials only had been given at reg
istration, moving residence in same precinct
ON election day, some one else having already
voted IN same name. Some TWENTY-FIVE re-
jeeted republican votes were thus accounted
for in yesterdays meeting.

count Of an organization of moonlighters in
Kerry. Mr.. Russell smiled while he listened,
and with reason, for Tobin's evidence on these
points pulverized the mass of the testimony
previously given by a score of policemen,
landlords and land agents, who secuted the
idea of there being any secret societies in Ire
land except the Fenians, and placed all out

ness of members of the league. Tobin fell to
pieces in the cross-examination.

A party of five revenue officers were fred on
while destroying blockade still in Panther

severely wounding Deputy Marshal Hightower.
The remaining revenue men returned the fire
and charged, putting the moonshiners to fight,
and capturing one of them, man named How
ard, after long chase over the mountains.
