SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Citizens Rallies Held At Battles, Cor.
coran's and CaIlery's Halls 10 the
Interest Of ths Candidates.

Three rallies were held in the Twen-
tieth ward last night, one at Battles
hail. the second at Corcoran's hall, and
the third at Callery's hall. 1t was the
desire of a large number of citizens,
principally Democrats, to have the
honor Of personally meeting William
Connell and he was invited to come
over and mingle with them. There be-
ing no one hall large enough to hold the
throngs. and in order to make 1t con-
venient for the older voters, the idea
was conceived to hold three meetings
in different parts of the ward.
The Forest band marched through
the streets with a large following and
brought the crowds to the halls. James
p. Touhil was chosen chairman of the
meeting at Battles and he introduced
in turn Mr.. Connell. Colonel +. II.
Ripple, Hon. Alex. Connell, and DR..
William Haggerty. 1t was more the
purpose of meeting Mr.. Connell, the
two Connells in fact, and Colonel
Ripple, who has always q warm cor
ner in their hearts, than to hear the
ISSUES TO the campaign discussed, that
the rallies were held: but at the same
time the speakers gave interesting ad-
dresses. After leaving Battles they
went to Corcorans, where Alderman
John ]. Ruddy presided. Here they
made short addresses. At Callery's
hall Councilman Thomas McGrail was
chairman, and here was the largest
crowd. about $50. At Corcoran's there
were nearly 800, and at Battles about
200. Mr.. Connell was assured in most
enthusiastic manner that the Twen-
tieth ward will roll up one of the hand
soonest majorities of the campaign for
him,

THE ANDRUS MYSTERY,
Attempts of Coroner Miles to Clear Up
the Case Have Been Made in vaiu.


Yonkers, N. Y. Oct. 2S.-The at
tempt Of Coroner Miles to solve the
mystery of the Arlington chemical
works bomb explosion, which resulted
in the killing of Hamlin j. Andrus, now
seems to have entirely fallen fiat Even
the PinkertOn men who have been
working on the case, confess they are
all at sea, and it is believed Will drop
the whole matter. For several days
Coroner Miles has had detained at po-
lice headquarters Louis Mcleod, the
16-year-old boy who worked in the Of
flee of the chemical works up to OctO-
Der 3, when he was discharged. This
morning the coroner notified the police
that he no longer desired young Nc
Leod held and accordingly he was per-
mitted to go free.
1t is generally understood that the
boy was detained because of certain
knowledge he had concerning the
building Of wires in the Arlington
works. For some mysterious reason.
the line of investigation followed to
ascertain who constructed these wires
has been suddenly dropped. and It now
appears that an effort is being made to
drop the whole murder investigation
and establish the theory of Chief of
Police Mangin. who believes the explo-

New Form Of Disgraceful Amusement
In the ll.famed Kelley's

"Kelley's block" is on Scranton street

the dancers. Two colored people, man
and wife manage the ball. a glimpse
of il during a dance last Monday nlSht
showed a scene of much depreciation.
Three negroes, one with q hduie
and two with banjos furnished music
for q dozen dancers, some white anu
some black. About the room were little
heaps Of black spotted oranges
bananas from the garbage dump, dirty
candy, cigarettes, etc. These were on
sale. Every dancer was supposed 10
purchase at the end of each dance ana
this was the only fee charged for the
fun. Besides the fruit stuff there were
many places about for the reception
Of tin cans of the rushed sort.
The dance continued until early
morning and as the hours Went on the
dancers became more and more dis-
graceful In their actions. The most as
tonishing scene of all was the presence
of young white girls. some of them
under 16 years of age and dancing with
the lowest specimens of the opposite
race. Such is the condition of things
in the dance hall of kelley's block.
The police cannot act as care Is taken
by the proprietors of the place that
the sounds of disorder shall not reach
!he street. There is no immediate law
Tor any arrests-mingling of white
and black Is not crime but the iniiu-
ence is certainly not for the best. The
respectable colored residents of the
city are only too anxious to blot out the
"kelley" nuisance.
