well to see in turn the leaders of the parties

committing the club to any hasty act or

after some opposition, and the head of the
club, transformed into STRIKER, en-
deavors to barter the support of his ASSOC
cistes for his own benefit He does not
succeed usually, but his failure is not at
tributable to any lack of trying, but is
caused by the fact that several of his as

gagged in the same task, and the labors Of
one so far Offset the opportunities of an

The method of establishing fake cam
paign club is very simple. Three or four
young mon, usually between the ages of 10
and 70, and well known in the neighbor-
hood where they live, arrange with the
proprietor of 8 bsrroom, who agrees to
give them the free use of his f st floor
under the condition that they and their
friends will patronize no other barroom
Then a chowder party, picnic, or
summer nights excursion is organized, wi h
the object of procuring money enough to
furnish the club room. Tickets are sold to
the politicians and tradesmen in lhe
neighborhood, and, after the expenses of
the chowder or excursion have been paid.
a sufficient surplus remains to equip the
room. Then transparency is ordered,
and on it are painted the names of the
candidates to be supported by msioritv
of the members, not all of whom are voters.
The club takes its name usually from lis
most active organizer, whose knowledge of
politics is derived from his labors on cleo
ton day as the employe, at the rate of IS
from sunrise to supdown of some candidate.

A FEMALE COON HUNTER,
Who Has Made a Reputation In the Dew

Raault in Death.

Who Has Made a Reputation In the Dew
h's Den, Has an Experience That May
Result in Death.
Upton, IND, January pa young
lady by the name OF Lucy Campbell, who
lives near here, in what is called "The
DEVILS Den," has great reputation as
q coon-hunter. The "Devil's Den" Is q
famous resort for coons, and Miss Camp
bell has hunted them successfully ever
since she was fourteen years old.
She has q dog no less famous
than his mistress. With her
dog and her gun the young woman fre-
quentlY goes out for night Of in the
woods and swamp. Last season she
shot and killed thirty-seven coons, and
this year, up to date, she has killed
| fifty-three Of these animals. Last
night she had an experience with one
of these sharp-nailed animals that was
lively, and promised at one time to be
serious for the young woman. She was
awakened about midnight by commo-
tion among the hens in the hen-house.
Concluding that coon had got with the
fowls, she took gun and went out. IL
was moonlight, but a haze in the air
mape it impossible to see distinctly.
She was within short distance Of the
hen house, when large coon ran out
and skurried up tall elm tree a short
distance away.
Miss Campbell could not get a good
view of the animal, but seeing portion
of it's body exposed, she took a shot at
it.. The lead took effect in the coon's
shoulder, and the animal jumped down
and struck the girl on the head. The
force OF the blow knocked her down,
and before she could recover herself the
enraged coon had sprung'at her, and
fastened its teeth in her shoulder.
The girl struggled to free herself
from the animal, but she could not
loosen its hold, and IL tore savagely at
her body with its claws, tearing her
clothes into ribbons and lacerating the
flesh fearfully. The plucky girl at
last screamed with pain, and her
father, who had been aroused by the
report OF the gun, ran out Of the house
and dispatched the coon by shooting II
through the head with a pistol. He
was obliged to pry the jaws Of the
animal open with iron bar. The
wounds that Miss Campbell received
are very dangerous, and 1t Is feared
that she will not recover from this ter
rible shock.

pLUNe1Ne AT MONTE CARLO.
A Polish jew With Fifty Pounds Capital
Wins Forty Thousand.

NICE, January 24.-Young Harry Ro-
senfeld, of Chicago, is furious over the
newspaper comments OF last night.
When ne came into one Of the bars at
Monte Carlo frequented by his set his
friends chaffed him about the account
given of his play, and Rosenfeld vowed
vengeance. He is generally spoken OF
here as "the young fool" He is doing
his best to get rid of the million dollars
lately left him, and always has big
gallary of spectators to play to. They
have a good deal Of fun, but he pays
very dearly for his and their amusement
as he is losing very heavily.
A fresh plunger has turned up In the
person of Mr.. Leoman, Of the Oxford
Club, London. He says: "Wells, Ro-
senfeld, Sam Lewis and the rest OF them
are all mere children in the science OF
gambling, and 1 alone have the infalli-
bic system" He is winning some thou
sands Of francs just now, but 'every-
thing comes TO him who waits" and no
doubt his fate will come to him
also. Wells has faded into insig-
nificance now that we have found
out who he Is and where
he comes from, indeed his whole his
tory. Wells is not his name at all. He
is Polish Jew who keeps toy shop
in the East End Of London. He came
to Monte Carlo last August with ESQ in
his pocket and managed to turn it into
10000. He came again in December
and, more wonderful still, won another
92O, ZOO, but now the tide has turned
and he is losing it all.

Stone the Cars.
PITTsBURG, Pa, January 24.-The
Electric street car strike caused lively
times again tonight in lower Allie
gheny. The cars were not molested
during the day, but toward evening the
crowd began to assemble and by dark
Beaver avenue, in the vicinity Of the
car sheds, was packed with bowling
mob of men, women and children.
Stones were hurled at the passing cars
and all sorts of distractions placed on
the track.
A stone thrown through window Of
a car struck lady passenger in the
face, painfully injuring her. Another
missile hit Officer Bushey on the back,
and still another struck him on the leg.
He was quite seriously hurt. Finally
the crowd became so great that traftic
on the road was suspended until the
police had dispersed the mob. At IL
o'clock everything was quiet and the
cars were running again.
Extra police continue to patrol the
district and two officers guard each car.
The strikers disclaim all responsibility
for the riotous conduct Of the mob,
which is made up Of women and chill
dren and workmen from the many mills
in that section of the city.
The impression is growing that there
will be serious trouble II the strike is
not soon settled.

ShlOOn
MOUNT VERNON, o., January 24.-At
Brinkhaven, twenty miles east OF here,
last night, a shooting ARRAY occurred
that will, in all probability, terminate
fatally for one Of the principals. A large
gang of men are at work near
that village constructing the Toledo, Ma
honing Valley and Ohio Railway. John
p. McDougall, General Superintendent
OF Timber Construction, had an alter
cation with some of the laborers In the
early part of the week, and last night
when he entered saloon In the VII
lage to get drink he was followed by
two colored men and white man, who
Immediately began an assault upon him.
He knocked two OF them down. when
they pulled their guns and lively fu-
silIade followed. McDougall received
four wounds, his right arm being shat
tered, two shots taking effect In his
back, near the kidneys, and flesh
wound in the shoulder. His assailants,
supposing they had killed their
victim, fed and concealed them
selves. One Of the colored men,
named Nathan Monroe, was cap
tured in a cellar, and brought to this
city and lodged In jail. William Alex
ander, the second colored man, was
found in a cabin four miles from Brink
haven and lacked up here this after
noon. A posse is In pursuit OF the white
man, Samuel Diel, and he will surely be
captured. McDougall resides at Port

SOMERSET, KY, January 24.-The
noted case CT Pritchett vs.. Harrison, ct
al, has been occupying the attention OF
Judge L. q. Morrow and jury in the
Circuit Court here for several days past,
and is not likely to reach termination
until next week. John @. Prftchett,
q locomotive engineer living here,
had been paying attention TO Miss Ella
Harrison, also Of this place, the daugh-
ter Of G. II. Harrison, prominent rail-
road man. Pritchett had been keeping
company with Miss Harrison for several
years, and had given her several valu-
able presents, among which were three
diamond rings, parlor set, etc. About
eight months ago Miss Harrison gave
Pritchett the cold shoulder aud her
mother forbade him the house, where
upon Pritchett demanded the return OF
the presents. The request being re-
fused, he brought suit in the Circuit
Court for the valuables, which
he claims to be worth $3.50.
Miss Harrison denies that she has at
any time been engaged to marry Pritch-
EFT. On the other hand, Pritchett de-
clares such was the case, and letters
were to-day introduced to substantiate
Pritchett's claim. On account OF the
prominence of the litigants, the case is
attracting much attention. Miss Har-
rison was educated at Sayre Institute,

New HAVEN, CONN, January "a
While Louis Cunningham, lawyer oi
Washington, and James Griswold, OF
Lyme, were searching the residence oi
Mrs. Jane Kingsbury, at Black Hill, IN
Lyme, yesterday, they found $50, 600
Mrs. Kingsbury, who was buried on Mon
day, was the widow Of Major Julius
Kingsbury. She lived in Lyme FOL
many years and always appeared to
have plenty of money. 1t was supposed
that she was worth at least one million,
but her relatives said that was aoso-
lutely false, as she was living on an
annuity. :,
When she died no property could be
found. Cunningham and Griswold, the
executors, finally found valuable docu
ments in an old chest in a spare bed
room. In other parts Of the house
more were found, maAy Of which had
not been opened for years. They re-
presented property worth $4,000. The
search was continued, and to-day 500,
600 in money was found. or thi:
$4,000 was in gold pieces from
one to fifty dollars in de-
nomination. 1t was found in the
bottom Of trunks, bureau drawers,
straw and feather beds. This was
great surprise to the executors, as no one
but her lawyers knew what her income
was. Years age she had big lawsuit
in the South. Ex-Governor Buckner, ,oi
Kentucky, her son-in-law, was on one
side, and Mrs. Henry Kingsbury, hel
daughter-in-law was on the other.
During the war Governor Bucknei
feared his property would be contiscal
ed, and he turned 1t over to Henry
Kinsburg, his brother-in-law. Soor
after the war broke out Kingsbury
married Miss Taylor, a Southern girl
A son was born, who is now travelling
in Egypt. His father was killed in the
war, and before he died he made a will
leaving the property to his wife.
A flaw was discovered in the will, anG
then began the litigation. 1t was al
ways supposed that young Mrs. Kings
bury got the greater portion OF the prop
erty. Mrs. Jane Kingsbury's only rela
tives are the young grandson in Egypt

Louis Cunningham, her nephew, who
with Mr.. GrIswold, found the none.
