Darlington in his room, and requested him
to go with them to the office of the Chief
of Police for the purpose OF being inter-
viewed on certain criminal charges.
Darlington offered no word of protest,
and made no sign of resistance. He
simply proceeded to make speedy end
ing OF all his impending troubles, real or
imagined. He told the officers he would
be ready to go with them in minute, and
said he wanted to get something out of his
valise. With that he walked to one
corner OF the room, picked up double
barreied derringer, stuck the muzzle of
the weapon into his mouth and fired. The
bullet passed clear through his brain, and
killed him instantly. 1t was all done so
quickly, and unceremonioasly that the
officers had not time to interfere with the
gruesome proceedings.
Miss Seyna Davis, a girl about 10 years
of age and of progressing appearance,
whose home is at 10 Rausch street, was in
the room at the time of the tragedy. She
tainted and it was several minutes before
she recovered sufficiently to speak. When
she did so all that she could be made to
utter was that she wanted to go home.
Darlington has been advertising for
handsome young women to come to him
and secure pleasant situations in the coun-
try, and also find handsome, rich and low
Ing HUSBANDS through his aid. 1t was on
a complaint connected with this practice
that, the detectives desired to lay the
hands of the law upon him. He has also
posed as labor agitator.
Papers, letters and printed documents,
found in Carrington's possession by the
Deputy Coroner, showed that he was an
anarchist of the reddest dye, and an infidel
who did not believe even in himself. He
had written and caused to be printed
pamphlets and dodgers in which he severely
criticized several prominent San Francis
cans. In well-worn pocket-boo was
found certificate of deposit for 500, is
sued by the Wells-Fargo Bank in this city.
On apiece of paper cut in the shape of a
woman's hand were written these words:
June 10.
Dear Willie: AS have nothing to do will
spend the afternoon thinking of you. Oh, how
love and hate you! Willie, keep this in re-
membrance of me. MATTE DUNLAP
There was also note, evidently written
by woman's hand, as follows:
Please meet me at corner Seventh and How
ard would like to see about place. 1 am
seventeen years old, brunette, fond of amuse-
ment, etc. l think will suit you. LIZ.
T. S.-Monday, at 8 p. NJ
The body of the deceased and his per-
sonal effects were taken in charge by the
Coroner.

Its Glory Gene

The town of Washington, KY, was once
lald out with the idea that it would some
day become the national capital. It was
IN 'front.' OF the old courthouse there that
family sold and separated. The Marshalls
and the Clays lived in and near the town.
There Clay, the ''millboy of the slashes -
debated with the orators of the land. The
old town that the famous Desha trial was
held, when Governor Desha pardoned his
son, who was sentenced to be hanged. and
Immediately resigned his office. Inside
the corporation Albert Sidney Johnson.
the Confederate general, was born. All its
former glory is gone. 1t was once the
pride of Northwestern Kentucky. Now
there are scarcely twenty white families in
the place, the population being almost ex-
clusively negroes.-New York Sun.

LADIES AT THE OLYMPIC.
A GYMNASTIC MUSICAL ENTER
TAINMENT THAT WAS LARGELY
PATRONIZED.
Miss COOKS CoRNET SOLO WAS A
SPECIAL FEATURE OF IN
TEREST.

The gymnasium of the Olympic Club
was captured by the ladies last evening.
1t was Ladies' Night" and the excellent
exhibition was witnessed by at least 5000
people, with the ladies in the majority.
Leader Hammersmith was congratulated
on all sides for the excellent programme
he had arranged for the occasion, which
consisted of all kinds of gymnastic perform
ances, with vocal and instrumental music
sandwiched in between the acts. The cor
net solo by Miss May Cook was a very in
terestlng feature, which received a well de.
served encore.
One of the most laughable and thor
whlstllng solo by O.. A. Cradle, who APP
peared on the stage dressed as fashiona-
bic young miss from school.
His lmpersonation was so perfect that a
large number of the ladies present did not
realize their mistake as to his sex until the
young whistler made his second appear
ance, then general laugh resulted era
lar ahead OF the California meadow lark,
which is ranked as the leader of Western
song birds.
So far as the gymnastic performances
were concerned the various feats of athletic
skill were splendidly executed, and the
only cause 1or complaint was the stretch
ing out of some of the events until they
became tiresome to the spectators. The
programme was as follows:
Overture; triple horizontal bars, H. Belau,

Dr. D. e. Plouf swore out warrants in Judge
Campbelps court yesterday for the arrest of J.
ID. l.. McCaughey and Charles c. Wilson on the
charge OF attempting by verbal threats to ex-
tort money from his patients. The doctor
stated mat When McCaughey was in his en-
ploy he was in the habit OF opening his private
letters ana OF picking the pieces of such letters
out OF the Wastebasket aud FASTING them to-
letters for the purpose of extorting money
from MS patients. Wilson was arrested yester-
day afternoon, but Attorney Delmas went to

The Scratching of Cloister.

LONDON, ENGLAND, March 26.-The
scratching of c. J. Duff's Cloister, big
favorite for the grand national steeplechase
to be run Friday at Liverpool, has caused
a sensation. While exercising Cloister
seemed to go stiffiy, then dropped to the
ground and lay with the tongue protrud-
ing. A veterinary surgeon reports that
the horse is lame and very sick but shows
no signs of poison. Duff ordered a COM
plete inquiry. Immense sums were
wageu on Cloister at Z to 1.

THE ELECTIoN.-If a large vote is
not polled to-day it will be no fault of
the clerk of the weather. The sky has
been clear aud the temperature mild,
in marked contrast to that prevailing
month ago, when the primary election
was held, the weather being clear but
uncomfortably warm on that occasion.
The affair, however, has dragged its
slow length along all day, and the
scenes around the voting precincts have
been generally devoid of animation.
The democratic committee, however,
have worked essiduously all day to
bring out a large vote. Chairman
Sweeney and his coadjutors began
their active work last night and have
been untiring throughout the day.
There has been no serious apprehension
as to the complete success of the demo
cratic ticket, although the champions
of the independent candidate for Mayor
mostly in the Fourth ward) pretend to
be hopeful. In that ward there are
also two white and one colored men in
dependent candidates for Council, but
it is generally believed that the regular
elected. In the Second ward there is
an animated contest for Alderman for
the short term between Messrs. Theo
philus Ballenger and Louis Kraft,
both democrats, and the friends of each
claim that their candidate will be elect
ed. The bar rooms have been closed
and the number of drunken men in con-
sequence was few. The following was
