CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. Lit is probable
that the opening chapter Of the gubernatorial
contest will be the order to-day, as Senators
Campbell and Snyder have announced their
intention to vote with the democrats on the
question. The vote for U. s. Senator yester-
day was, Kenna, Al; Goh, 40; J. W. Goshen, s;
Gov Wilson and A. b. Fleming, 1 each.
Kennas friends claim that Van Pelt will stay
till the finish, and that he will vote for Kenna
any time his election can be secured by his
vote. They are also quietly claiming that
when it is demonstrated that the democratic
opposition will defeat Kenna, as well as being
fully demonstrated that none of the democrats
will vote for a republican, then enough repub-
icans, in recognition of Kenna's ability, will
come to him to elect. This is ridiculed by the
republicans, who say it might be that the
union laborites will do this, but their party
never.

DIED BY HIS OWN HAND.
Crown Prince Rudolph Killed Himself
by a Revolver Shot.


VIENNA, Feb. LIT is officially announced
that Crown Prince Rudolph committed suicide
by shooting himself in the head The weapon
used was a revolver.
The Wiener Zeita1sg SAYS: "Prof wiederhofer
who performed the autopsy on the remains Of
Crown Prince Rudolph, found a large wound
in the side of the head, which must have caused
ber discharged, was found on the bedside close
to the right hand Of the dead prince. The po-
sition in which it was found proves beyopd
doubt that the crown prince committed suicide
The pericranium was torn and the skull bones
were partially shattered. The report of the
revolver was heard by no one, the crown
princes attendants having left the house 70
make preparations for q hunting excursion.
HAD BEEN MoRBIDLY EXCITED OF LATE
Several members of the crown princes en-
t0ura9e state that during the last few weeks the
crown prince had manifested signs of morbid
nervous excitement, and therefore the Wsener
Zeatumg says, the view that the shooting was
the result of temporary mental derangement
must be adhered TO. Some time previous 20
his death the crown prince complained Of head
aches which were attributed TO an injury to
the head which he sustained by fall from Q
horse last autumn.
INDICATIONS OF FERMENTATION.
The Budapester CovTespondsz says two years
ago and again recently Crown Prince Rudolph
entrusted derr Won SZogyenyl, an attache OF
the imperial household, with the duty of ar
ranging his papers. He subsequently wrote 70
Herr Won Szogyenyi, reminding him of his
trust.

DENVER. Feb. 1-Ah Loy obtained a judg-

tice Palmer's court last Tuesday. The defend
ant was not satisfied end brought the case
before the celestial court in Chinatown, which
is in session nearly every night. There JUS
tice Palmer's decision was overruled. Yester-
day the clerk of the latter court went to China
town to collect the e69 and found Chung in a
room with q number Of his countrymen. The
$69 was paid, when Chung, thinking the money
was still his and that handing it to the clerk
was mere formality to satisfy the ..Melican
court" grabbed the money and handed it to
his cousin. The door was locked at the same
time and the unfortunate clerk held prisoner
until reinforcements arrived and rescued him.
Shoe Hoo Chung and Foy Sing were taken to
the city Jail on the charge of larceny.

IT Worked Both WAYS.

Here is an incident which shows.how care
fully the principles Of acoustics should be ap-
piled to building. A church had been
erected in Sheffield in which the preacher was
altogether unheard, however great his exer-
ton Various unsuccessful expedients were
tried, until the incumbent, happily in this
case scientific man, had large parabolic
reflector of light wood constructed and so
suspended that the pulpit was in the focus Of
the parabola.
By such an arrangement the rays CT sound
issuing from the focus of the mirror would
be thrown forward as parallel beam The
consequence Of this was that every word ut
tered in the pulpit could be distinctly heard
throughout the church; indeed, the speaker
was more distinctly heard at the far end than
at the intermediate portions, because this
parallel beam of sound was directly cast upon
those in the distant gallery. Unfortunately,
however, the reflector acted In both direc-
tons If any one whispered in that distant
gallery the sound of the whisper was gath
cred into the focus of the reflector The
preacher placed in that focus thus heard all
the remarks that happended to be made by
the people sitting in the gallery, and as it
was anything but pleasant to preach and
listen 20 criticism on the sermon at the same
time the reflector after awhile had to be taken
down. n.-Chambers Journal

He Was Really Clever.

A sultan of Morocco. requiring an execu-
toner, one day a man arrived to offer his ser
vices
Are you really clever at itgr asked the
monarch Can you cut off a head at one
blows"
Try me-"
Very good Come into the court yard.
Take your sword. There happens to be a
| criminal waiting to be beheaded"
The headsman obeyed, went down into the
court yard, was confronted with his victim.
and swept out his sword across the mans
throat. The head did rot move
Clumsy wretchr' cried the sultan
'Sire, said the executioner, without winc-
ing, have you snuff boxr
YES what for2'
DO me the favor of holding the snuff
under the criminals nose"
The sultan did as he was asked The man
sneezed and the head fell off at the feet of the
astonished monarch. This was good stroke
OF work, or am very much mistaken
M. Richepin, the famous novelist, has q
rather quaint story still in the same dismal
vein, however. The hero of one of his ro
mances is the most luc,less being on the face
of the earth Nothing goes well with HIM
His wife betrays him, his friends rob him,
and at last he is condemned to death for q
crime he has not committed On the scaffold,
at least it might be hoped that he should die
In peace, but his i'll luck pursues him even
there. He turns to the executioner and tells
him that to him he has bequeathed his for
tune, and the executoner is so much moved
by this act of generosity that he only cuts off
his victims head at the sixth biow.-Paris

People Who Fret.

One OF the most striking examples of this
large class of unfortunate beings is the great
Carlyle--the man of noble heart and a strong
mind, capable of grasping great subjects and
giving wise words of admonition regarding
them, and yet so difficult to live with COM
fortably, because he was easily disturbed by
triies and gave free vent to an oral express
sion of the annoyarces he felt
There is a touch of the ridiculous, but much
more that Is pathetic, in the story Of Carlyle's
behavior on his return home after an absence,
during which his loved Jennie tMrs CarlyleD
worked with loving industry 20 make her
husbands homo coming an especially happy
one. The study was made Immediately neat,
the new furniture arranged in the most pleas
ing order, and dainty touch given here and
there to make all home like The task COM
pleted, Mrs Carlyle awaited in happy ex-
pectancy the return of the master Of the
house
What did Carlyle do to show his apprecia-
tion of this loving service so willingly rem
deredf Did he express his satisfaction in
words, or even by look of pleased surprised
Not he. Surveying the room with critical
eyes he walked to window, discovered that
the sash ratified, ard vented his displeasure in
unmistakable language. This one small aaw
blinded him to all the rest of the order and
pleasant arrangement of the room.--Evening

A MiIlionaire's Small Beripniny.

The visitor to Talbotton is pointed out the
store where Leondas Strauss, the millionaire
crockery dealer of New York, began his bus
iness career. Long before the war Strauss
drove into Talbotton in rickety two horse
wagon containing some goods and all his
worldly possessions. He applied to Barney
Curley to rent a little store, the only vacant
one in the place. And SO unprepossessing
was Strauss and his outfit that Barney only
relented by prepayment of one months rent
But Strauss prospered and sent his children
to school In 1851 he moved to Columbus.
He speculated in cotton and at the close of
the war he left for New York with nearly
SlC0,OO0 He engaged in the fancy crockery
business, dealing only in special importa-
tons He is now worth s., 600 900 and lives
IN prlncely style Mr. Cleveland appointed
his son Oscar, a lawer. minister to Turkey
Mr.. Strauss had some of his beautiful crock
cry ware on exhibition at Columbus. Barney
Cur'ey does business in the same little store
rented to L. Strauss lives modestly, nor has
he allowed time nor circumstances nor events
to Jostle him out of the even tenor of his way
