ports at His Conference.
Chairman Martin, of the Popocratic state
committee. held a conference yesterday
morning with about twenty-five more or
less prominent Democrats from various
parts of the State, all that came in answer
to his fifty odd kilograms sent out on Mon
day. The purpose was to get in touch with
the leaders in various sections and to get
a little definite Information upon the status
of the Bryan campaign throughout Indiana.
The reports were none too encourag fng.
The gentlemen from the out counties re-
ported that the resignation of Chairman
Holt and the revelation of the condition OF
Mr. Holt in his letter had caused a panicky
feeling among the workers in the ranks and
coming on top of many reSlgna tons
from the executive ana State committees
and the uncertainty as to where so many
Democrats stand in this campaign, had
created a good deal of Generalization all
around. Then they complain that In q
great many counties that had organized
early in the year the sound-money men
were in the saddle and the organization
was torn with suspicion of them. There
was no way to GUST them unless they re-
signed and yet if they should resign and be
succeeded by radical silver men the same
old question of raising the money to run
to local campaigns would arise. In almost
every city the men who have been con-
either outspoken against the Bryan ticket
or are rather lukewarm in their support
and declare that the times are SO hard that
they cannot afford to give anything for
campaign expenses The chairman and his
secretary took copies of what they learned
of the condition of affairs in various coun-
ties and will endeayor to straighten them
out as best they can.

Iowa is All Right.

Ernest Hart, of Council Bluffs, Ia, one of
the most conservative men IN the State,
giving a very encouraging view Of the sit

Il have been DESTROYS of getting some
definite information about Indiana, and
judge the campaign is sufficiently advanced
now SO that you have fair idea of the
situation l shall be very glad to have
your views. feel confident that you
will have correct information. AS to Iowa,
I can hardly say where the majority is
going to- Early in the campaign thought

said before, ] now cannot locate the num-
ber 1t may be 100, 600. This county gave
Boies for Governor 1900 majority. Last
year we carried it by 900. Hard-money
Democrats say we will have 800 this year,
but | think 1,400 will be about right. We
have the finest State and county organiza-
ton in history and have SO far re-
ceived no outside assistance. Any talk you
may hear about Iowa being doubtful is
nonsense Harrison's speech was magnif-
cent and did great deal of good here.

STRUNG HIM UP IN JAIL
TRIED TO MAKE JOHN KENNEDY, OF
HAUGHVILLE, CONFESS ARSON.
The Victim Claims He Was Also
Robbed While in the Suburban
Lookup that Night.

The story of the remarkable adventures
of John Kennedy, of Haughville, which he
experienced the same night that his house
on Concord street was destroyed by fire,
and which began shortly after the fire.
has just leaked out Until yesterday no
one but his wife and the participants were
acquainted with the story, and yesterday
he told the story to two people in the
suburb. A short time after the fire he was
arrested by deputy marshal Shaw for be-
ing drunk and locked UP in the Jail in the
suburb. About 2:30 O'Clock in the morning
he says he heard key turn in the lock
and he arose, expecting to see Shaw,
whom he thought was coming to release
him, but instead he was confronted by four
strange white men and a negro, who i'm
mediately seized him and, placing rope
around his neck, pulled him up to the cell
ing. When they lowered him they tried to
make him confess that he had burned his
own house and as he failed to make such
a confession, they again strung MIN up
and the operation was repeated third
time Kennedy says that they came near
finishing him the last time and that 1t took
them nearly an hour to restore him TO con-
seriousness. After they had succeeded in
reviving him they relieved him, he says, of
between $1.4o and $1.75, which he had in
The next day after he had been released,
he claims that he approached Shaw and
had been taken from him the night he was
in Jail and that deputy Shaw told him to
be quiet and he would get his money for
him The next night, hearing nothing
from Shaw, Kennedy went to the home of
Magistrate Martin and asked him If Shaw
had left any money there, for him, and re-
eeiving a negative reply, he began hunting
for Shaw. When he found the deputy and
demanded his money. he says that the dep
uty told him he knew nothing about it.
Since this last meeting with the deputy he
has told two citizens of the suburb the
story here related, and last night his wife
told the Journal the same story, saying
that he had told it to her the night after
he was arrested. She also said she did not
know whether he had any money on his
person when arrested. Kennedy says that
he would recognize the negro If he again

A Willimantic seiectman Tells Bigger
Snake Story.
The snake story recently told by Sc
lectman Mansfield, says the Danbury
News, is outdone by story related by
Mr.. Perkins, a Willimantic man, who
claims to have been visiting a farm
few miles from that place one day last
week and was attacked by three mon
strous black snakes, and barely escap-
ed with his life That he is alive to-day
to tell the tale is due to the fact that
he possesses an iron nerve, strong
arm and a stout, we'll tried knife. The
Shiny reptiles in their age twined them
selves about the body of Mr.. Perkins
and he, to save himself from horrible
death, was compelled to cut the body
of the snakes away piece by piece, I'M
til he was released from their awful
grasp. The snakes were in the road
summing themselves when Mr.. Perkins
attacked them with a stick, but the
stick broke and they sprang for him
trying to crush him. He noticed that
the three snakes were all adorned by a
white band about the throat, the dis
tinguishing mark of a specially danger
our species that kill by exerting a.
crushing pressure on their prey. But
they do not bite nor sting.
