\ SMOOTH MAN.
LIE Caron Regarded as a Confidence
Man by a Citizen of ST. Paul.
MYSTIC LEAGUE MARKS
A French Professor Badly Beaten by
Midnight Providers.
DESERTED AT DEATHS DOOR
A Dying Woman's Flesh Gnawed
Away by Hungry Rats.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 11.--John S.
Barnes of this city, who recently re-
turned from trip to England. where
he went to take possession of property
bequeathed him, says that DIR. LIE
Caron, or Beach, who is now testifying
in London. was a fellow passenger on
the outward trip in December. Dur
ing the voyage Barnes was thrown
much into LIE CarOn's company, and
soon came to regard him as conf
dence man. lie Carou had heard of
Barnes good fortune, and to use the
latter's words, Tried to work him for
a sucker" Barnes denounced him.
lie Caron did not take the affront as an
insult, but tried to laugh the matter
OF, treating Mr.. Barnes during the
rest Of the journey as a man who thor
oughly understood him. Barnes de-
scribes LIE Caron as an entertaining
conversationalist, and one of the
''smoothest" men of his class that he
ever met. This statement as to the
date Of LIE Caron's departure from
America for Europe December Sth is
a contradiction of Miss Beach, sister of
LIE Caron, who stated that her brother
arrived in England shortly before the
death of their father in November last.

President Canvassed.
HARRISON AND MORTON !
The Republican Nominees Declared
the Choice of the Electors.
BARB WIRE PATENTS VOID.
Royalty Paid to Americans Liable to
be Recovered.

WASHINGTON, D. C., February. Is.
The chamber of the house presented
lively scene this morning, although
nothing of a sensational character was
expected. The galleries were filed an
hour before noon by crowd of inter-
ested spectators who were eager to wit
ness the ceremonies attending the
counting of the electoral vote. The
ladies were in large majority and
with their handsome costumes formed
the pretty frame to the Kaleidoscope
picture presented on the floor below.
The corridors in the rear of the gal
leries were thronged with sight seers
who were contented if by rising on
their tiptoes they could glance over the
shoulders of the more fortunate per-
sons who had secured foothold in the
doorway.
Many ladies were upon the floor
pleading with members for passes to
the already overlooking galleries. Be-
side the speakers chair was placed one
for Senator Ingalls,, who as presiding
officer of the senate was to preside over
the joint assembly, and in the area in
front of the clerk s desk were placed q
number of richly upholstered chairs
and lounges for the accommodation Of
the senators. At noon the speakers
gavel hushed the hum Of conversation
an the chaplain made an appropriate
prayer.
at FIVE minutes onbefore the legis-
L. dnd an
a few moments afterwards the senate
was announced and the senators. head
ed by their officers, marched into the
chamber. Senator Ingalls, leaned~on
the arm of Secretary McCoOk and Cap
tain Bassett carried the box containing
the returns from the electoral college.
The representatives remained standing
until the senators had taken the seats
assigned them, and then Senator In
| gals took a seat on the right Of the
speaker and called the assembly to or
der. Mr.. Ingalls, said:
| ''This being the day and the hour
appointed for opening the certificates

resentatives have met together. pur-
|
the United States. If there be no OBJ
| lection to the electoral vote of the state
| of Alabama, the certificate VIII be read
by the tellers. who will make list OF
the votes thereof"
The presiding officer then broke the
seal of the certificate from Alabama
and handed it TO Senator Henderson,
one of the tellers, who read the docu-
ment in a clear voice. It was in due
form and showed that the ten electoral
votes of Alabama had been cast for
Cleveland and thurman. The certi1-
cate gave in minute detail the proceed
ings of the meeting of the electors in
Montgomery and contained the ballots
cast by each elector for president and
Vice president. 1t was accompanied
by statement from the governor of
Alabama certifying to the election OF
the electors therein named. Its read
ing consumed seventeen minutes.
The count has been completed and
Harrison and Morton declared elected
president and vice president.

Horrible Death.

PROVIDENCE, r. 1. Feb. lI.-Julia
Mahar, aged fifty six years, died this
morning in miserable hovel, in Web.
ster, of paralysis. The case is parTic-
ularlv horrible, as her husband had
given the woman no, care after she be-
came incapable of doing any more
work. The neighbors say she was left
alone and rats ran into the howell and
knawed away at the woman's eXtremi-
ties while she lay, yet alive, but unable
to drive them away. The flesh was
badly eaten from her thighs, and even
the face had been attacked. The po-
lice learned of the matter and induced
the neighbOrs to watch with the wo-
man while life yet remained. Death
came to her relief this morning.

Assaulted By the Mystic League"

ST. PAUL, MIMI, Feb. I1.-Several
weeks ago Professor Dhensel, French
professor who received a printed no
tice, headed with a skull and CROSS
bones, warning him to change his ways
and charging that he had made him
self obnoxious on several occasions
and was an habitual drinker. He
laughed at the notice. One week ago
he received a second warning, reading:
This is the second and last warning.
Beware of the mystic league" Again
the professor laughed, but not as
heartily as before. About IL o'clock
Friday night he left the Ryan hotel
and started up street. He became
aware that he was being followed and
kept a watch, but soon his pursuers
disappeared. When he reached the
next block and was passing an alley he
was suddenly attacked by three men,
thrown to the ground and beaten with
a heavy stick. Three teeth were
knocked down his throat. lis nose was
broken, his head severely bruised in
several places, and he WAS otherwise
injured. He will not fully recover for
several days.

street between Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth, in a section of the city
which is unpaved, a couple of police
men found this morning in the middle
of the road barrel that had evident
~ fell off of a wagon sometime during
the night. On examining it, they
found it contained the mutilated
remains of woman in an
advanced stage of decomposi-
ton. The feet had been sew
cred from the body. In an
old bloody apron or shawl were the
viscera. The ling hair of the woman
was matted with blood clots and lay in
confusion over the trunkless head.
The trunk was all chopped into pieces.
The fragments were taken to the
morgue. When the remains were re-
moved from the barrel at the morgue
card dropped out, upon which was
written: Lima Bucha, received in ward
n, county hospital, Nov. %, 'SS; died
January 10, 1885," At the hospital it
was learned that the body had been
given to one of the medical colleges.
The fragments after dissection doubt

being taken out of the city for burial
or were deposited there by the express
| man to save himself the trouble or cart

WAsuINeToN, Feb. 1.-THE cotton
returns or the department of agricul-
tnre make the average close of picking
six days later than last year, on &C
count of later maturity and frequent
rains. In many counties in the south
west the crop has not yet been fully
harvested. A careful consolidation of
the returns makes the proportion mar

shorter than last year and there is
more discolored and trashy fibre. The
caterpillar and boil worm have been
widely distributed, but their destruc-

SALOONS MUST BE CLOSED.
From Midnight Saturday, October .,
 Ilutil tho E allowing CuesdaY.

From Midnight Saturday, October 5,
 Until tho F ollowing Tuesday.
 It will be news to many liquor dealers to learn that under law passed at the last session of the legislature saloons must be closed from 12 o'clock Saturday night, October 5, until Tuesday morning, October 8. Section 3,093 of the general statutes as amended reads as follows:
 Every person who by himself, his servant or agent, between the hours of 12 o'clock of the night preceding the day of any state, town or city election and o'clock in the morning following any such election, shall keep open any room, place, enclosure, structure or building in which spirituous or intoxica- ting liquors are sold or offered and ex- posed for sale, to be drunk on the prem ises, shall be fined fifty dollars.
 The law is very explicit, and although | it is a hardship, the dealers can do noth ing better than to obey it's provisions.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-09-25
THE NEW BALLOT LAW

Opening Up q Difficulty That tho
 ssDemocrat'' Mentioned Long Ago.
 The selectmen, mayor, city and town attorneys and Representative O'Neill were to meet to-day for the purpose of considering the new ballot law 2nd it's application to the forthcoming city and town election The meeting, however, was postponed until tomorrow.
 The law apparently does not contem- plate that town, city and school cleo tions might take place the same day, nor does it apparently contemplate such state of things as exist in Waterbury, where the town and city lines are coter- minous. The law says electors shall re- ceive but one envelope and he shall place the ballot in the envelopes within the secret compartment. If any elector outside of the city limits enters this secret com partment what difficulty in his placing city ballot whicl, is not right in the en- velope and drop it in the box. Repre- sentative O'Neill is of the opinion that there is no way to remedy the matter ,ex- cept to have two envelopes, one for the city and the other for the town box. He says Suppose the city election was l by law held on different days, as Tn fact | it is in some cities of the state, one envelope surely would not be sufficient. Then aSa1n Une IdW pio'Aoeo that the selectmen designate places for the election of town officers The city charter provides that the common council designate pla- ces where the elector shall vote for city officers. Heretofore both bodies have designated the same place, but suppose the selectmen should choose one place
 in the second ward and the common council different place in the same
 ward, surely one envelope would not answer. He is of the opinion that the
 ballot law means, although it does not
 say so, that the electors shall have one
 envelope for town and another for the
 city box.
 The difficulty presented above was mo-
 ticed and commented on shortly after
 the passage of the law ill the editorial columns of the DEMOCRAT.
