Shaved by a Convict.
They were speaking of shaving.

They were speaking of shaving.
1T was up at Folsom, and Judge Muir
ply had gone up there at Gen. McComb's
invitation to see how the prison was run,
said newspaper man. He arrived on
Saturday night, and the next morning after
breakfast the warden asked him if he didn't
want to be shaved, adding that there was
an excellent barber connected with the es-
Enlistment. The Judge said that was just
exactly what he did want, and he was
shown the way to the shop. A very quiet
young negro was there, with a white coat
over his convict shirt. and the Judge knew

that he was in the hands of an expert

Judge came out of nice little doze and lay
watching the fellow. Pretty soon the Judge

is that so? What-what was it
about?'
"'Well, Judge. I'll tell you.' said the
fellow. He was then coming down over
the Judges chin and was sweeping down
toward his throat. My name is Williams,
and you sent me up here for life for killing
my woman On Bush street.
LAS he SAID this the fellow laid the cold
edge of the razor against the Judges
Adams apple and the Judge closed his
eyes. He knew there wasn't another per-
son but themselves in the room. and for an
instant he had wild inclination to jump
up and yell out for help. Then he thought
better of it. and said as placidly as he
could:
"'Ah. yes, L remember; very sad case
Well hope you're rolling up your credits,

"'Pretty good replied the convict bar

Judges throat and was put back in its case.

IA large, rude, wooden uilding is erected near

outlet could be discovered
I'm some manner some of the prisoners obtain
cocoanut shells and knife, and, in total dark
ness. carve and decorate the shells in curious
patterns. One of these shells is in my posses
sion. The officials of the prison were quite reti-
cent, and no information could be cleaned from
for heinous crimes against life and property or
for political crimes.
LAS our party, each bearing his candle to light
the way hurried along the dark pathways, through
the gloomy corridors, their footsteps echoing
dsmally through the reeking vaults, the wretched
inmates sprang frantically to the grating, and
pressed their pallid, CHASTITY faces against the
bars with wild looks.
''Some stared vacantly. blinking as the unusual
light fell upon their eyes. Others cried aloud and
called on the party to stop.

run cold. We did not long delay. A brief stay
in that vault sufficient to last lifetime, and
we gladly sought the light and freedom of the
upper world again.

ACuriOus Clock.

Something new and unique in the way of a clock
has just been patented by an electrician.
Aside from being regular timepiece and daily
calendar it is also provided with a system of keys
making double circuit around the outside of the
clock, the first one to denote the hour and minute
and the other the day of the month. The object
is to furnish thereby regulator for business APP
pointments. For instance, if man had on ap-
pointment at 9:10 O'Clock in the morning he would
turn the indicator to that time as well as another
to the desired day. At the minute exactly in the
morning an alarm would be turned in and would
continue to ring until stopped. The clock is the
first of its kind in America, and has been viewed
with considerable interest by the jewelry trade

Advocates of the Mckinley Tariff Bill
Dumfounded by the Result of Tuesdays
Elections.
Philadelphia Record.
The results Of Tuesdays election have
completely dumfounded the supporters of
the Republican leaders who forced the
Mckinley Tariff bill upon the country,
and show that even the strong Republican
state of Pennsylvania will not submit to
such issues in politics as were forced upon
it in the nomination Of a man for governor
against the manly sentiment of the people,
The gain of at least four congressman in
Pennsylvania is, however, national
triumph which cannot be mistaken. 1t
goes hand in hand with the defeat of
Mckinley, despite the most lavish use OF
money ever witnessed in Congressional
fight in the United States. Delaware has
given small hut safe majority, which will
end the Republican contests in that State
| for many years. as they never had such an
opportunity offered them to elect theil
ticket before.
There seems to be no doubt about the
| complexion of the New York Legislature
as the Democrats have carried it on joint
ballot by not less than eight majority The
| Democrats almost surely gain four UnlteC
States senators-one in Wisconsin, one il
Connecticut, one in New Hampshire ant
one in New York, and probably one il
| Illinois. Indiana and Wisconsin have un
donbtedly been carried by the Democrats
as well as the three New England States
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and Con
necticut,
The confirmation of McKinleys defea
is followed by the news that Breckinridg
is elected in Arkansas, Cannon defeated
and Ex-Governor Foster. who was running
for Congress in his district in Ohio i

The ordinary cough medicines all fail to hit

the cough is to solve the mystery: Many
cases of consumption can be traced back to
the neglect of some such slight affection as

Bergen avenue, Jersey City Heights, was
comnlainant to-day in Police Justice Wan

years, whom he charged with attempting
to kill him. Miss Jones is well-dresseu,
attractive appearing girl of considerable re-
tinement. DIR. Pyle was married SIX
months ago to Miss Apgar of the Heights.
He stated that about O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, as he was leaving his office 10
make a professional call he was met at the
door by Miss Jones, who asked for All in
terview with him. After returning to the
office she charged him with betrayal.
.'She wanted 500, y said the doctor, ana
afterwards demanded $500 to settle with
me. got her to go out, but about O'Clock
she came back again, and, drawing a re-
yolver from under her cloak attempted to
shoot me, saving that she would hang for

br Pyle stated to the court that he had
never lived in Chester county, Pa, but

Philadelphia and came from that city four
years ago. When told that she would be

grimly asked, well, what are you going

been committed came under the jurisdic-
ton of the laws of Pennsylvania and not
in the state of New Jersey. The young
woman said that she had no friends here
to become her bondsmen, but would uotify
her father and brother in Coatesville OF

New YORK, Nov. ION September 18th
The Sun stated in its New York letter that
David b. Hill was not candidate Tor the
United States Senate, but that smith NJ;
Weed WINS. The information, then printed
for the first time, came direct from the ex-
ccutiye mansion through well known
Democrat of national repute, who has con-
tributed not a little to the present Demo-
cratic tidal wave. He is not New Yorker,
and he is a close friend of Mr.. Cleveland. s.
whom he has publicly Endorsed as the
best and most Democratic President we
have had since Andrew Jackson AT that
time Democratic success in winning the
New York legislature was very problem
atical, and perhaps Mr.. Hill thought he
could easily afford to give away very
doubtful possession.
Now that the successor to Mr.. Evarts, is
sure TO he II Democrat the drawback to the
offer comes in view. Mr.. Hill may take
the senatorship if it comes to him without
any contest, lnsought by himself, and II rs
acceptance does not interfere with ms

like the way in which the Republican
administration has been admstrtiug.
The dissipation of the surplus in eXtrav-

of legislation by which the minority in
Congress was deprived Of its rights; thr
expulsion u duly elected representative
