When the big bulldog was introduced
to Kinkella's premises the Newfound-

truder, but the bull caught leg hold
and had all the best OF it for . while.
The leg was chewed and cruncaed and
while Smith and Norton stood by hiss

sure that kInkella would do
no talking about his long haired

was working, and after while shut
his big jaws across the back and loln

state headquarters Both SIDES declare
themselves satisfied with the outlook.
Chairman faggart Gays the democrats
vii win by 10000 plurality. Chair
man Gowdy SAYS the state Is republl-
can by 1000 10 10000. Both claim
their ability TO win on ths state ticket
and control the next legislature, which
has the selection OF a unity OF state
senators. and both claim that they viii
have q majority or thirteen congress
men.
In 1888 Harrison carried the state by
2,3ls plurality. The democrats say that
l. MAS = state pride that elected him,
and that nls absence from the state
during the present campaign will wipe
out bis plurality of four years ago and
give the state To Cleveland. As there
are 1909 election precincts In the state,
the change of one man In each would
overturn Harrlson's plurality and there
would be 600 10 spare. Tne democrats
say that Judge Gresham has changed
enough votes To give them the victory.
They claim that the conditions of
state issues are about the same as IN
1890. when they carried tho state by
l9, 900 for secretary of state. The CUB
eruatorisi contest between Ira j. Chase,
republican. and Claude Matthews, dem
ocrat. will bo close. The populIsts
claim that they have q fair chance of
electIng enough members of the state
legislature TO give them the balance OF
power snd enable them TO dictate who
shall succeed Senator Turpie.

WEST VIRGINIA In DOUBT,
But VIII Go Republican If an Honest
Count Is Had.

SOGll 10
CHARLESTON. W. Va, Nov. 6.-Both
sides claim the state and also the legIs-
lature, which will elect successor to
Senator Faulkner. Chairman Chiffon
of the democratic committee says that
West Virginia Will go democratic by
from 5000 TO 5000 majority; that the
legislature will be democratic, and
all four democratic congressman
will be elected. Chairman Dawson,
Of the republican committee, says
that fair vote means certain republl-
can success; the legislature, by a
small majority, and three republican
congressmen. If not four.
Deputy sherlifs have been appointed
IN Mercer and Mcdowell counties to be
at the polls, and the republicans charge
that they are TO be- used to intImldate
coiored voters. The democrats deny
this. There are fears of trouble In
these two counties. In other portions
of the state the election will be quiet.
The new Australian ballot law will be
tried for the tirst time, and no Que has
any idea which party will reap the ad-
vantage.

Mayor Zoliinger has offered $500 re-
ward for the arrest of the fire-bug and
tomorrow another reward of 81 900 adj
ditional will be offered. The ballots
for the county election were stored I'M
meciately under the court room, and
the door leading thereto was not locked
last night, the first time IN years. the
object being, IT IS thought. 10 burn tue
ballots and interfere with the coming
election. However 1t Is evident the
real object Was to destroy the county
records, which are IN evidence OF the
shortage of ex- x-Treasurer Mowener.
The story of the attempt to burn the
court house TO destroy evidence of the
shortage of Mr.. Mowser is untrue.
Mowser has been out of Office two
years, and the only controversy about
his office WAS road orders amounting
to $3.50. which he paid two years ago.
The fire was started during
the meeting of populists IN the
court house, and was An attempt to
destroy the ballots near by and which
could not be replaced in time for elec-
tion, thereby cheating Allen county
out OF l0, 900 democratic votes.

MARRIED A MURpERRsS.
Young Springfield Man Marries Fiendish
Poisoner.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Nov. 6.-There is q
big sensation here over the discovery
that Will Green, q well known young
man of this city. was recently
married to woman. formerly Of Co.
lumbus, who served six years in the
penitentiary for the murder of her
husband, and who was released on
parole three years ago. The story is
sensational. The girls name is
Laura Eddings. Six years ago
she was sent to the peniten-
tiary tor killing her husband IN Preble
county. The crime was peculiarly
atroclous. She first gave her husband
. dose Of morphine, and then walked
two miles and procured some rough on
rats, which she gave him 10 complete
the job. Sne killed him because she
WAS tired OF him. She served three
years of her sentence and was then
psroled bv Warden Coffin. She worked
Il good while AT Columbus, and last
summer came To Springfield, where
she was employed as q waitress at
Adams restaurant.
Mr.. Adams knew nothing of the
character OF his new employe until
finally Il leaked out and he was forced
to discharge the girl. In the mean
time. however, young waiter named
Will Green, VINO came here from Rich
mond, Ind, fell desperately in love
with the pretty, rOsy-cheeked girl and
prop sed to her. He was accepted and
tue couple became engaged. When
the story came out about her being
an ex-convict, the young man stuck
To her, and said he would marry
her anyhow. He went to ex-Wardcn
Coffin to ascertain whether the girl had
been pardoned or was only out on pa
role, saying that he intended to take
her out of the state If she had been
pardoned. Mr.. Coffin then told him
the true state of affairs. He finally
married the girl short time ago, and
they are now living together in this
city. The groom ls an excellent young
man. and the bride is saic to have be-
haved very we'll in the last few years.

SENATORIAL SITUATION.
All Parties Are Figuring on the Possible
Probabilities.

New YORK, Nov. 6-The Legislatures
of twenty-five states. whose members
will be chosen on Tuesday, will have
the selection of successors TO fourteen
republican snd eight democrat United
States senators, whose terms expire
March 8, 1898.
The republican senators who go out
are FELTON, of CALIFORNIA, Hawley of
Connecticut, Dawes OF Massachusetts,
Stockbridge of Michigan. Davis of Mn
nesota, Sanders of Montana, Paddock
of Nebraska. Stewart of Nevada, His
cock OF New York, Case of North Da-
kota, Quay of Pennsylvania, Alien of
Washington, Sawyer of Wisconsin. and
Warren OF Wyoming.
The democrats are Gray of Delaware,
Pasco of Florida, Turpie of Indiana,
Cockrell of Missouri, Blodgett OF New
Jersey, Bates of Tennessee. Faulk kner
of West Virginia and Mills of Texas.
OF the republican senators whose
terms expire Hawley, Stockbrldge, Pad
dock, Stewart, Hiscock, Allen and
Sawyer represent states which are
claimed by both sides. Of the demo-
Gratis Gray, Turpie and Faulkner are
from states similarly situated.
Ino expectations OF the Farmers
Alliance, If they are we'll founded,
place the seats of several other sena-
tors in jeopardy. and the complexion
of the next senate may undergo con-
siderable change, as q result OF Tues
days election. The republicans look
to retaining the senate, whatever the
presidential result may bs, as q bull
wark against tariff legislation. The
democrats are planning to increase
their representation In the upper house,
aud the Farmers Alliance are schem-
ing to secure the balance of power.
The republicans are confident of gain
ing a senatorship In Indiana. In New
York the re-cIstricting of the state by
the democrats has resulted IN an ad-
vantage which may give them the
choice of Senator Hiscock's successor,
even if the state IL carried for Harri-
son. the republicans admit that the
Farmers Alliance will gain the Nevada
senstorship, but say they are chasing
rainbows when they claim Nebraska,
Washington, Wyoming and Montana.
Taken all together there will be some
lively figuring on the status Of tho
three parties IN the senate when the
votes are counted on Tuesday.

Reglsteri Last chance today.

DETROIT, Nov. 6.-Some time last
spring there came from Chicago to De-
troit military gentleman who gave
his name as Mallory w. 0ridley. lie
hired an office IN the Hammond block
and put out the sign OF Financial
Correspondent"
Mallory Was young and handsome.
He had the erect and military bearing
OF West Point graduate; he dressed
we'll, lived high and made a good i'm
preston everywhere. In the same
office Joseph II. Brewer, steno-
grapher. had rooms. This 10 no evi-
dence that more than one person was
in the business of hnanciering, but the
firm name was "M. w. Gridley q Co. ("
1t sounds better.
Young Gridley's operations in De-
troit were peculiar. He proposed,
among other things. to erect an i'm
mense apartment house ut the corner
of Woodward and Adams avenues.
Charles Harrah. the real estate agent
who has an Office IN the Whitney
block, was associated with him In this
scheme. HArrah was to have charge
OF the new building and TO be one of
the principal stockholders. Gridiey
set Gu: To canvass for the stock. He
went to see General Alger and he
called upon Senator Thomas w. Pal
mer. He went, among others, to Dam
lei Scotch TO induce him TO subscribe
funds. Harrah says he doesn't believe
he got a single subscription.
In the meantime Mr.. Harrah assisted
him with little loans and accommo-
dated him with Endorsement of his
notes. AS consequence Mr.. Harrah
is now out of pocket some S400 or 5000,
it is said.
Ran Upa a Telegraph Bill.
In the course of his operations ae
financial correspondent. Mr.. Gridley
had occasion TO use the telegraph a
good deal. He ran up q bill at the
telegraph Office and finally gave a
check upon the Detroit National bank
for the amount. When the company
came to cash the check it was found to
be bogus. The company called MIR.
Gridley's attention to that fact and
went up to see Mr.. Harrah, to whom
haQ pCCH IcAriIcus
military Mr.. Grldley found that he
could not send any more telegrams
by the Western Union and the check
was paid.
A short time subsequent Mr.. Gridley
had occasion to cash check In the
office of Ii. ID. Smith, No. SO Wood
ward avenue. The check was after
ward discovered to be bogus and it has
not yet been paid.
About the same time Mr.. Gridley
cashed check for Sc at the drug store
of Stevens & Loud, on Woodward ave-
nue.. Fred Todd cashed the check.
Yesterday Mr.. Todd received letter
from Gridley's frien is in Chicago say
ing that If he said nothing about the
bogus check he would receive his
money.
1t is said that half q dozen other peo-
pie about town have been defrauded
IN the same way. The Russell house is
out small sum upon a bogus check.
At present young Gridley is confined
in hospital in Chicago, and it is said
that he Is insane. The warrant for his
arrest was sworn out by his mother,
and 1t is suspected that he is simply
confined there until his friends can
collect his little bills about the country
and put him out of danger of the law.
