MORE ARRESTS
Made of Persons Indicted for Violations
of the Election Laws.

Made of Persons Indicted for Violations
of the Election Laws.
During the past two or three days the
Federal authorities have been busy with
the cases of Wheeling citizens indicted by
the late Federal Grand Jury for violations
of the election or postal laws. Two or
three of these arrests grow out of the
Lewis case, on the Island, with the de-
tails of which the public is familiar. All
the persons takea into custody gave bail
for their appearance, and the causes will
be tried at the next term of Court. The
list is as follows: For violations of the
election laws, Hugh Hawkins, NJ L. Etz-
Ter, Joseph Porter, George B. Hale, Ed
ward Higgs and George Trainer; viola
tons of the postal laws, George Wysend
and Annie Balzsr. Bail was fixed at $500
in most of the cases.

A KETTLE Or FISH.
A Good Deal Of Fun Imminent in Political
Circles.
THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE POSTOFFICE
Who IS After II, and Who VIII Likely
Get Il.
WHAT WILL THEY Do ABOUT IT ?

There will be lots Of fun in this neck OF
the woods before many moons. Aud all
because of the hot and furious wrangle
going on between the big chiefs as towho Is
entitled to the s. 500 plum known as the
Wheeling pcstofica. The wrangle within
the camp of the big heads, or to be ex-
plicit. the fellows who think they own
the party and demand all the usuffuct
that belongs to it, is becoming quite COM
plicated. This complication is inten-
sided By the powerful flank movement
Of the Grand Army people, who have
put forth as their leader and choice for the
P. O. Col. Wilkinson. Here is an element
that had not been considered by the Pooh
Bahs Of the party, and yet it is 50 powerful
when united and organized as TO command
respect. What is to be done about it?
Aye, that's the question.
It was supposed that Doc Moffatt, was
ahead, with Mr.. Spaulding Wal
lace as a good second. Mr.. Mof-
fats host Of friends had thought
his splendid race for the sheIitfAlty ought
to entitle him 20 the rich legacy now in the
hands of the Democracy, but to be relin-
ouished ct some date in the hereafter, not
vet determined. Likewise Mr.. Wallace's
many supporters for that position had
Thought his long and continued services
were entitled to substantial recognition.
But it now looks as if they were both
to be turned down. The power
behind the throne, so to speak,
says they must give way to some
one else who must be placated. why is
this thus?" the reader asks. Wait and
we shall tell you. A little bird who tells
the story straight has whispered in our
ear that there is another Richmond in the
field: in fact, this Richmond is dual
Richmond fom one standpoint. and yet
from another standpoint he is simply an
ordinary Richmond. The story is then,
plainly, that Mr. John Frew, OF the Intel.
hqsRcer wants the p o. and all there is in
it, and so does Archie W. Campbell. They
both want il bad. Albeit, there is this
difference: Mr.. Frew is willing to turn
the proceeds of the Office over
to the credit of the LateRigencer
bank account; or if there is any exception
to him (Frew) assuming the role of P. NJ.
be is willing to relirquish whatever honor
there be in the title and let Mr.. Campbell
assume the pressure, providing he Camp
bell be as generous with the proceeds as
himself To this proposition, so the story
goes, Mr.. Campbell will not be party. He
wants all or none. If ne cannot enjoy the
usufruct Of the office in its entirety he does
not want the title. And there at last
accounts the matter rests, and likewise
thereby hangs a tale. How it will be set
tied, if settled at all, cannot be foretold at
this writing. The public will wonder
why Col. Hart, who is a member
of the firm, is not mentioned in the pro-
posed deal The weight of his influence,
no doubt, will be with Mr.. Frew, for then
there would be a substantial gain.

SLIGHT Fire at the Mcclure.

About halfpast eight o'clock last night
a slight fire was noticed behind the shelv-
ing in the linen room of the McLnre, and
a still alarm was sent to the Atlantic which
brought Chief Dunning and the engine
company in doublequ time. The Hope
was also on hand in moment or two, and
the fremen made their way to the third
floor with as little trouble as possible,
where an examination showed the danger
came from a defective flue leading from
the hot water boiler. No damage was
done, beyond the tearing out OF some
shelving.

An Owl and a steel Trap.

About two months sgo John S. Truesx,
who lives near Jacobsburg, Belmont coun-
ty, Ohio, saw an owl in tie woods with a
steel trap and piece Of chain attached to
its leg. He failed TO catch it at the time,
but about a week ago succeeded in capiur-
ing the bird of wisdom. On one leg, an
inch above the foot, the trap had closed,
causing the foot below the trap Jaws to de-
cay and fall off. The tendOns were lying
out bare and exposed below the trap jaws,
and the lower joint Of the leg still re-
manned. How long the bird had been fly
ing about with the trsp could not b' sur
missed.

Fritz, Big Dog.

A
Fritz" Emmet's appearance on the
Academy stage tonight will doubtless
attract a large audience, and the ever
popular actor will geta rousing reception.
So will his big dog Plinlimmon. Mr..
Emmett will not be jealous, however
loudly the audience applauds Plinlimmon,
for he thinks the world of his handsome
dog. And Plinlimmon deserves it all.
He is a remarkable animal. | well re-
member the first time | ever saw him OFT
the stage. 1t was when Mr.. Emmett was
playing at the Fourteenth street Theatre.
New York. One afternoon the mai who
takes care of Plinlimmon had him u for
lust round the corner of Fifteenth street,
off Sixth avenue. l was walking
up the avenue in a great
hurry, and turned into Fifteenth
street at a lively pace. Plinlimmon was
standing about ten feet from the corner
facing the avenue, and l nearly ran
squarely against him. At the instant
when my eyes rested on him he was in
the act of yawning, and the effect OF sud
denly confronting snch a gigantic open
mouth as his was startling in the exs
IRENE. 1t was some minutes before |
could overcome the impression that | had
narrowly escaped falling down his throat.
Plinlimmon is good natured, however,
and never swallows anybody except at
regular meal times.
The public will get a chance to see him
tonight, and also to see e. good play in
which MIR. Emmett is supported by a
strong company.

AT THE BIG

For many days past the Boston One
Price Clothing House has been an object
of attraction to all who passed along
Newark avenue. In the windows were
pretty scenes of winter. One was a re-
presentation of Santa Claus, who. after
filling his pack at the Boston, is about to
enter s. house to distribute his gifts. AT
night there is a pretty moonlight effect
over all. Within the immense store looks
very fine and the goods are displayed in
an attractive manner In the shoe de-
partment are all sorts of shoes, and fancy
slippers-always acceptable Christmas
gifts; rubber goods of every description,
pretty fancy articles, manicure sets,
Clocks, many fine articles of silverware,
toilet sets and perfume cases, all band
some and selling at wonderfully low
rates.
All sorts Of pretty and useful articles
are found in the gentlemen's furnishing
department and many novelties in neck
wear are displayed. Fine mufflers and
handsome umbrellas, gloves and full
dress shirts, silk and linen handkerchiefs
and embroidered suspenders are all
found here. All styles of headgear for
men, and many novelties in this line for
children are attracting mush attention.
In the department devoted to mems and
children's clothing are seen many new
designs and styles. Bath robes and dress
ing gowns. Smoking jackets are very
fine Christmas gifts for gentlemen, and
for more substantial articles everything
in the line Of clothing may be obtained
here. This store is large and an immense
stock is always on hand. and q purchaser

A Natural Refrigerator.

A young friend of mine, who has for
several years each summer gone with his
father on a camping trip on the south
shore of Lake Superior. tells me of a
novel experiment they often employed
for preserving their yension in warm
weather. In that country some of the
streams are tianked by long rows of sand
hills, whose composition is SO loose that
they shift about continually under q wind
of any force. In the winter time the high
winds often blow the sand over the great
snow banks which lie upon the north side
of the sand dunes. covering up the snow
TO a depth of several feet. The snow is
thus kept unmelted, and even in the
middle Of summer one can dig down
through the sand to it and find the best
imaginable sort of q natural refrigerator.
In this way. said my young friend, they
buried their deer and trout, and found
them kept entirely fresh so long as they
cared to leave them. This Is certainly y
new instance of natures bountifplness
with the sportsman.-Forest and Stream.
