Clough over Lind. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 6,0H
There is a wide discrepancy between
the figures claimed at the Democratic
and Republican state central committee.
At both places the politicians are con-
fident Of the election of their guberna-
torial candidate. According to Chair
man Warner Gov. Clough has surely
been reelected, and If Chairman Ros-
ing is correct, then Lind will be the
next occupant of the executive chair
Chairman Rosing hints at crooked
work on the part of the Republicans,
and is so confident that some politi-
cal skulduggery is afoot, that he has
sent men into the northern part of the
state to check any such attempts

as governor by at least 5,000," said Mr.
Rosing last night. This claim is based
upon full reports from SO counties that

years ago. If the balance Of the vote

PArTERsoN's QUEER CAREER.
Buried Mt Last Where His Wife
Thought She Had Buried Him.
From the Baltimore American.


Wilmington, Del, Dec. Thomas L.
Patterson. who many years ago was well
known in Baltimore. and who was for
mer resident of this city, was found dead
in his apartments in Philadelphia last
Saturday. His death was the result Of as
phyxiation, caused by Illuminating gas.
which he had left turned on.
Patterson was a member of prominent
Delaware family. He began his career in
the hardware business in this city, and
married Katherine Rice. A few years
after his marriage Patterson suddenly dis
appeared Mrs. Patterson knew that he
had gone to Baltimore, as he frequently
did. on business. Efforts to locate him
in that city, however, proved IrullIess.
The fact of his disappearance was given
to a detective agency, which Instituted
vigorous search for him. The theory was
advanced that perhaps he had peen the
victim of foul play, and the detectives Kept
themselves posted regarding tragedies IN
various cities and towns in the country, IN
order to be able to catch up with hlm' dead
or alive. r..
After eight years had elapsed Mrs. Pat
terson was notified that in railroad sta
ton in Baltimore a man, whose appear
ance corresponded precisely with the de-
scription of her missing HUSBAND hau otop-

identified the body as that of her missing
husband. Accordingly the corpse was
bro,ght 10 this city and inferred In the
family lot. For four or five years AFTER

Of her husband, and his mysterious dlsap-
nearance and death had about ceased TO

the campus, money cuts no ice'' in get

display and putting up a front that the
little side eXtravagances come in. Not
all Of the students find their way to the
pawnbrokers, but in a big college town
like New Haven, for instances, where
Yale is located, one finds only too many
evidences of the students at the sign of
the three golden balls.
One pawnbroker in that town has made
specially Of buying or lending money on
pipes. He says he has more secondhand
pipes of value in his store than he could
dispose Of in fifty years. But still, his
fad it is, and when college boy offers
meerscaum or a unique briarwood, worth
$40 or $l2, this particular Solomon Levi
gladly hands over 81 or 50 for it, and
places it away in his wonderful collection,
which will probably be handed down after
him from generation to generation. A

of old Solomon may proudly boast that

such desertions, for the gold fever was
at It's hight. Soon afterwards the Success
was sold to the Victorian government,
whose goal accommodations under the
stimulus of the gold rush had quite given
out and by whom she was now converted
into prison hulk with seventy-two cells.
The carpenters, who carried out this piece
of work, were payed we are told, at the
rate of 80 shillings day. SO magnetic was
the influence of the gold helds and so
great the difficulty Of retaining skilled
workmen in Melbourne. 1t is In it's prison
form that the Success Is now making

The vessel remains apparently In much
the same condition as when her decks
Witnessed the scenes of horror which
led, although not till 1857, to the aboli-

can quite understand, after an inspection
of the penal appliances of the ship, the
anxiety of the people Of Melbourne to
have all traces of that odious system de-
stroyed. The Success, indeed is ahoat
to-day, thanks simply to a blunder on
the part of the authorities, by which she
was permitted to escape the destruction
that finally overlook the other members
of the prison fleet.
An effort to remedy this blunder was
made in 1892 when some Of the colonists
Of Sydney succeeded in scuttling the
vessel and sending her to the bottom of
Port Jackson. Six months later, how
ever, the Success was raised to the sur
face, and last year she set out, after
an interval of forty Years, on another
voyage across the seas, arriving at Lon

her departure Fl ON Adelaide with not a

THE BLACK LETTER.
This Method of COercing Debtors Is
Now Declared Unlawful.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The sign of the black letter is to pass
away and many man will be delighted
to know it. This is no, mystical sign of a
secret order as one might surmise. 1t is
merely an envelope of solid black, with a
name written across it In white ink. In
one seeing an envelope of this sort for the
first time there is aroused a feeling Of GU
riosity; but there are those who have seen
them so often that they came to be a
source of deep dispieasure and dismay; for
it was the fatal and never to be forgotten
sign that money was owing which must be
paid at once or there would be trouble.
But now the United States government
has decided that the black letter is a mark
of ignominy that can no longer be count
enanced. The postoffice authorities
throughout the country have been notified
from Washington that no more black let
ters can go through the mails, and all are
warned that a heavy penalty awaits the
person who tries to use the mail in this
manner as collecting agency.
The sign of the black letter was the
latest idea of the people who make a
business of collecting bad debts. In form
er years there were many CHER devices.
One enterprising man started it by send
ing to people who owed bills postal cards,
on the back of which was printed skull
and crossbones. These postals with their
gruesome symbol came to be so numerous
that congress decided to make it unlawful
to send through the mail any postal card
bearing dun" in any such way that it
might be read by others than those for
whom it was intended. After that the
"dun" man used an envelope, but put
various fantastic devices on the outside,
which were assumed to be understood
onlv by the guilty conscience of the per-
son who owed bills and refused to pay
them. But In course of time the postofhce
oficials discovered the intent of these
new envelopes, and the letter carriers
couId recognize a dunning letter at a
glance Congress then took further &C
tion and made it unlawful for any en-
velone "a bear words or designs which
suggested that the person to whom 1t
was addressed was regarded as a pro-
fessonal beat.
The doom of the black letter was sound
ed by Judge John L. Thomas, assistant
attorney general for the postoffice depart
ment. who ordered that all matter OF this
description be excluded from the mail.
He got his authority from decision rem
dered bv a United States district judge,
i'm which II was held that all persons con-
neetad with the postal service understood
that the meaning and object of such pro-
cedure is to coerce payment of money by
Tins exposing the person addressed. And
now that the order has gone out that all
black letters shall be thrown out as I'M
mailable matter, 1t only remains TO be
seen what will be the next method adopt
ed by the professional collector.

From the Ashton Reporter
The most remarkable vessel that has yet
passed up the Ship canal may now be seen
AT Pomona docks. In some respects, IN
deed. the Success must be the most re-
markable vessel anoat. Constructed al
most entirely of Indian teak. with the
square-cut stern and quarter galleries Of
a century ago, she was launched In 1870 at
Moulmein, a rice settlement near Ran
COON. in Burmah, and traded for many
years between England and the indies as
a first-class merchantmen. Subsequently
she made occasional trips TO Australia

FIre i'm sky-scrapers.
From the New York Press

A retired fire chief has been busy these
two years with the problem Of extlnguish-
ing fires in lofty buildings. and his prog
ress has been so encouraging that he has
no fears of flames al the very top OF the
highest structures, forty, fifty or sixty
stories. His invention Is simplicity Itself.
He makes balloons of a cheap material,
each of which will carry upward 1000 gall
Ions of water. If flames were seen leap
ing skyward from the American Surety
Company's building he would send up from
Broadway a number of these balloons.
The, heated air, creating strong suction,
would draw them into the flames, directly
over the TOP of the building, where they
would instantly collapse. sending down
such a flood as would quickly drown any
fire. II Is estimated that each of these
aerial sprinklers viii cost $120 and that
forty of them will put out the hottest fire.

made in few days.
