for damages caused by his false arrest and i'm
prisonment. says an Asbury Park dispatch.
Mr.. Conley came here last evening to pass a
few hours on the beach. He took stage and
landed at Ocean Grove. Before he had a chance
to look at the rolling surf Policeman Pridham
caught him by the arm and said: II want
you" Mr.. Conley is an Odd Fellow and sup
posed his arrest was a bogus one put upon him
by the members Of the order. He asked Prid-
ham what charge had been made against him,
but the officer refused to tell him. Mr. Conley
was marched to police headquarters. where
Chief OF Police Patterson met him. Pridham
charged Mr.. Conley with begging on the beach.
As soon as Chief Patterson found out who the
prisoner was he ordered his instant release
from custody and Mr.. Conley got his liberty.

mittee of the New Jersey state house OF assem-
bly, and is one Of the best known democratic
politicians of the lower portion of Monmouth
county. Chief of Police Patterson has known

says that he was told by Chief Patterson that
two men had been begging on the beach and
that he was arrested on suspicion of being one
of the two beggars. Assemblyman Johnston
will act as his lawyer in the suit.

THE MISSISSIPPI CAMPAIGN,
Barksdale Still Fighting George without
Seeming Hope of Success.

Barksdale Still Fighting George without
Seeming Hope of Success.
The senatorial fight in Mississippi between
Senator George and Z. Barksdale, the sub
treasury fac tiohs candidate, wages hotter daily.
The action of the state democratic convention
on July 10 in declaring the subtreasury scheme
undemocratic has been generally accepted by
conservative alliance men. The ultra wing Of
the order is protesting vigorously against the
conventions action. 1t is believed that the
subtreasury faction leaders have sent out orders
to have such resolutions passed whenever pos
sible.
One Of the new features OF this campaign is
that In almost every county the democratic
voters are expressing their choice at the ballot
box directly LOT United States senators. This
was done in Pennsylvania some years ago.
when Messrs. Quay and Grow were candidates.
Ot the sixty members of the legislature nomi-
mated to date tifty-one are for George and nine
for Barksdale.
Senator Walthall, who declined at first to
stand for reelection, also has incurred the OPP
position of the subtreasury people, and there
Is about the same opposition TO him that there
Is to George. He VIII receive practically the
same vote as George. and the return of both of
them now appears certain.
The subtreasury people assert that their
fight will cease after the democratic primaries
and that if they lose they will abide by the re-
suit. In two counties. however, they have set
up subtreasury tickets in opposition to the
regular democracy.

A Wife's Attempt TO Shield Her Husband;
Who Killed u Man Over Five Cents.
Frederick H. Buchner, cigarmaker, died at
the City Hospital in Baltimore yesterday from
pistol shot wound, and Cannatella Cormela,
an Italian fruit vender, is held in the police
station charged with having fired the shot
which caused Buchners death. Josepha Cor
mela, wife of the accused, also is held on the
charge of being an accessory.
The shooting occurred in front of Cormela's
fruit store, southeast corner of Pratt and How
ard streets, yesterday morning. Buchner,
with two companions, went into the store
shortly before the shooting and Buchner
bought glass of lemonade and glass of soda
water for himself and one of his friends while
the third man bought cigar. Buchner gave
the Italian 20 cents to pay for the Lemonade
and the soda. which amounted to 10 cents
Cormela only gave him 10 cents in change
Buchner called his attention to the mistake
and asked for 5 cents more. Cormela said that
as the third man had not paid for the cigar he
would not give BucLner the cents until the
cigar had been settled for.
Two of the customers left the store, but
Buchner remained inside still disputing with
Cormeis. He, too. came out soon, followed by
Cormela- The quarrel was kept up, and at last
Cormela became enraged. and seizing q re-
volver from inside the door fired two shots
one of the bullets striking Buchner.
CormelG's wife found in the store with
the pistol in her hand. She said that she, not
her husband, had done the shooting To the
patrolman who arrested him Cormela said that
the men had come into HIS store and after
making some purchases had made improper
proposals to his wife, and for that reason he
fired the shots at the men.

Tacoma Couple Comply With the Require
ments Of . District License.
The good citizens Of Takoma yesterday had
an opportunity to attend rather novel we'd
ding ceremony. The contracting parties were
a Mr.. Devalt and Miss Annie Morse, and they
lived In Montgomery county, midway between
Takoma and Silver Springs. The groom, in
anticipation Of the happy event, had procured
a marriage license in this District. He engaged
the serviceo of a minister, and yesterday after
noon the ceremony was to be per-
formed. The parties interested were
all on hand promptly, and SO was
quite large contingent of friends
When the minister looked at the marriage
license he announced that he could not per-
form the ceremony in Maryland. The license
he said, was only good for a marriage in the
District. This unexpected hitch in the ar
rangements seemed likely to prevent the we'd
ding until the happy thought occurred to some
one that they might cross over the District
line and then the ceremony could be per-
formed. 1t was no sooner suggested than acted
upon, and procession Of the wedding
party pa 80, was $50. soon filing along the road to
lister. When the District line was
passed and the legal authority Of the license
was conferred on the minister, a halt was
called, and there in the middle of the dusty
road the bridal couple stood up before the
The ceremony was witnessed by large crowd,
which was increased by the people driving out,
who stopped along the road attracted by tine
novel sight. After the ceremony the groom
manfully stepped up to the minister, and ask
ing him his fee paid him at once thus starting
out on his married career on cash basis. The
wedding party returned to the house, where
the reception was held.

HE SWALLOWS LIVE FROGS.
John Stowe of Shelton. Conn, Says They A
rs Nutritious aa Clams.

John Stowe of Shelton, Conn, says They Are
as Nutritious n Clams.
A man with one of the most curious propen-
stiles lives in shelton, Conn.,, according 10 the
New York Herald.
He has acquired an appetite for live bull
frogs, and swallows them with the same ease he
would swallow the most dainty morsel that ever
was cooked.
The mans name 10 John Stowe. Stowe has
been resident Of Shelton only few years. but
1t was not until recently that his appetite for live
bulifrogs became known. One day within the
week he laid q wager that he could swallow q
frog alive, and was at once taken up. On
Wednesday Of last week the test was made on o
bet OF 81, five parties being present
The fret one that was brought TO him was
too large to work down his throat and he Sc
lected one from creek on the Harris farm
small enough TO go down. He placed the frog
head nrst In his mouth, showed the remainder
In with his fingers and in an instant the am
phlbious animal was out OF sight and probably
jumping around his stomach.
The story of the feat at once spread, and
within few days there were a number of
doubling Thomases who. notwithstanding the
undoubted integrity OF the witnesses, did not
believe that Stowe could swallow live frog of
their selection.
winking, SO to speak, to his friend, TOOK another
bet and appointed the day.
DOWN WENT ANOTHER.
On Monday the second frog was swallowed
and the witnesses present were again astounded.
Stowe is ready any time to swallow frog on a
bet, and as the frogs are numerous at present
ne scoops In lots OF dollars from workmen with
whom he comes in contact He says he does
not feel any bad effects, as they are dead
shortly after landing in the stomach.
The food, he says, is excellent and people
eat much worse things every day. They are
just as good as live oysters or live CLANS or
even live scallops. To physicians Stowe is a
puzzle. They cannot understand how
the stomach will retain the foreign
matter and are skeptical. They know
that similar things have been taken
into the stomach, but usually it is followed by
violent pains and cramps. which continue until
1t is removed, but Stoves stomach apparently
retains these frogs and digests them. too, which
Is stlll more than astonishing. Stowe is mar
ried, and is about forty years old. His health
is very good.

Exhibited-Mementoeso of Columbus.
Lieut.. W. E. Stafford, q. s. n, special COM
missioner of the worlds fair to Peru and
Bolivia, has secured for the Latin-American de-
partment of the exposition five examples Of
the ceremonial dresses Of the Jibaros and
Zaparros Indians. One of the Jibaros cos
tunes is reported to surpass any Of the dresses
OF savage tribes yet discovered, in gorgeous
beauty and lovely contrasts Of colors. 1t con-
sists of a feather skirt, beautiful crown Of
feathers. with feather ornaments. and a
singular back ornament of polished bird bones
arranged in bands monkeys teeth and metallic
beetles wings, with armlets and leg ornaments
formed of reticulated bands of black seed and
monkeys teeth. q necklace of tigers teeth and
three long strings of beautiful beetles wings
suspended from the back of the head
dress. The feathers are derived from
three birds. The toucan, from which the
greater part of the feathers Of the skirt are OBJ
tanned, has but two small spots of brightly
colored feathers, SO that each tuft of yellow
feathers represents the life of the bird, Just as
each tuft of feathers on the royal cloaks of the
Hawaiian Islands represent the life of tine
sacred 100" The most interesting ornament
OF all, however, Is a desccated human head
worn suspended as a trophy from the neck and
hanging down in 'front.' which illustrates the
wonderful skill of the Indians in intracting the
skull and reducing the head in size while pre-
serving the form of the ears, nose and lips.
The two Zaparros costumes are woven If
human hair and are ornamented with geometri-
cal designs in discs OF pearly bivalve shell,
bird bones and monkeys teeth. All the gar
ments are in absolutely perfect condition.
Lieut.. Stafford has also unearthed in an aborigi-
nal cemetery at Ancon seventeen mummies and
many specimens of pottery, spindles, weaving
utensils and a few pieces of wooden and cotton
CLOTH subterranean chamber was discov-
cred In this cemetery containing three num-
mics, one evidently that of woman, one of an
infant and one of child about ten years old.
Inc female mummy was on a raised seat of
reeds, cushioned with a moss plant. In front
lay several weaving utensils, and on each side
leaning against her shoulders were bundles Of
reeds wrapped with brightly dyed thread of
various colors. There were also several jars
near by containing articles of food, and others
which had evidently held liquids.
HIS excellency, Gen. Aycardi, governor of
Panama, has given permission to the Latin
American department of the worlds Column
ban exposition to remove from the old fortress
at Puerto ..Belo, on the Isthmus of Panama,
some old Spanish cannon which date back very
nearly to the time of Columbus.
Gov Aycardi has also agreed to loan for ex-
hibition at Chicago marble slab bearing in
bas rehefl most beautiful representation of
the landing OF Columbus. This piece of mar
bic was presented to the city of Panama by the
Empress Josephine nearly hundred years ago.

not have an adequate force and means for its
prosecution to a rapid completion the Com

finished in time for use this season. A number
Of deep holes have been met with in the prose-
cution OF the work, which will necessitate an
inspection by the engineer department of the
