TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
County Offices in New York Put
Up at Auction.

New YORK, Jan. 11.-Police Commits
sioner Voorhis has been reported
as having said at recent meeting
of his political associates that county
offices in this city were practically
sold to the highest bidder, and thirty fifty
and even as high as $4,000. had been
paid for nominations. Mr.. VOOrhis said
to-day that he had been incorrectly re-
ported. What he had meant to say was
that candidates for the different offices
were assessed $4,000, SIS, 600 and SIC. 600.
and that the aggregate would be $50. 600
or $4,000. He did not say that the men
paid this amount to get the nomina-
tions. but he did say that if they were
not in a position to bear an assess
ment equal to the amount for
which the Office was considered
liable by the party managers they
could not receive the nomination. He
would give no names or details unless
assertions should be denied by those in
position to speak. in which case he
would tell story that would surprise
many people. Commissioner Voorhls is
a County Democrat. but of late has
shown some signs of non-factional Dem
ocratic proclivities.

soldier, living with his sister northeast
of Industry, Beaver county, Pa,
was nearly murdered last night
for his pension. He had been
making some purchases in the
nearest town, and had remarked
that he had his pension money. He
laid the money IN clock when he re-
tired. During the night two masked
men broke down the door of the house
with rail, beat the Old man uhmerici-
fully with the butts of their revolvers
and ransacked the house until they
found money. In the meantime they
tied Lampton's sister to bed and
threatened to kill her if she made any
fuss. She begged so piteously for the
robbers not to take all the mOney-all
they had in the world-that after the
robbers had left they returned and gave
half of the money back to the aged peo-
pie. The robbers then departed, taking
with them about $55. The old man is
reported dying.

passed yesterday designating Feb. Is as
the day of final adjournment. Stevens
introduced resolution in the house set
ting forth that in cases where members
do not think they are entitled to per
diem for the holiday recess they shall
be required to take it, and members
who do not consider their services
worth the per diem to the state shall be
excused from further attendance during
the session. The resolution was passed
with laughter at the expense of the
nervous economists and the house set
tied down to work. In the house the
bill providing for the prosecution of
criminal Offenses on information and
dispensing with the grand jury, unless
ordered by the court, was the chief bone
Of contention. There was bitter fight
against it, the Prohibitionists claiming
that it was intended to thwArt them in
their attempts to inforce the law by
placing the power to BRING action in the
hands of district attorneys. The bill
was made special order for Monday.

nounced that A. J. Clinton will be re-

Burlington & Northern Railway at this

ate good deal of surprise among the
business men of this city, as Mr.. Clin-

SHOE FACTORIES SHUT DOWN
Thousands of Operatives Locked
Out Without ProvOc alton.

HAvERHILL. Mass, Jan. n.-Nine
large shoe factories shut down to-
night pending the settlement of the
trouble at Winchell 6 Co.'S factory.
There is great dependency among the
towns people generally over their mis-
fortune. 1t is felt by nearly every class
that there was not sufficient provoca-
ton for lockout. AT least in five of
these factories the employees were salts
fed with their compensation, and had
not thought of striking. There were no
outward signs of trouble at the other
four. The lockout is solely a sympa-
thetic one among the manufacturers, in
support of Winchell & Co.'s position.
About 5000 persons, mostly first-cIass
workmen. are thus prevented from.
earning living for themselves and
their families, without having done
anything to warrant such blow.

these two women were in Michigan.
The crimes of which the Benders are

prove these facts by affidavits he would
