SPRINGFIELD'S BIG SURPRISE
CHICAGO ALDERMAN PULLS OUT
or SENATORIAL CONTEST.

Springfield, H., Jan, l5.-Martin b.
Madden, the Chicago alderman who
has been one Of the leading candidates.
in tho senatorial contest, Withdrew
from the race last night. throwing his
support to X-Congressman w. E.
Mnson Of Chicago, his most prominent
rival. The withdrawal was immed-
lately followed by that of David 7.
Httler Mr.. Madden's candidacy has
been bitterly fought by the anti
machine element of the state. His
letter Of withdrawal was ms follows:
AT tho solicitation of my friends
entered the contest for senator.

and have received much encourage
ment | feed greatly indebted for the
treatment accorded me by the republi-
cams of every section of the state.
ann convinced that public sentiment
fnvors the election of w. E. Mason. /
believe that he should receive the sup
port Of tho representatives of the
general asse nbly and withdraw from
the race, M. b. Madden"
MIR. Mason's friends are nIblant,
claiming that his selection by the
caucus Is sure.
1t is asserted that Madden's with
drdwal was largely the result of the
belief Of President elect Mckinley's
influence against his candidacy. a
week ago the Chicago Times Herald,
whose editor, H. II. Kohlsaat, is he
lievcd to be in tho confidence Of Me
kInley, published an editorial leader
severely arraigning Madden and end
ing with this significant phrase: mo
Trend of President elect MCKINLEY
can vote for Martin Il. Madden Tho
implication that the coming admins
tlntton was opposed b. Madden has not
been authoritatiycly denied. Although
Mason's forces have been greatly
strengthened by Maddens withdrawal,
The othT candidates do not admit his
election and will enter the caucus Mon
| day, The Cook county members last
night sprung Congressman William
Lorimer as a candidate, but several
of their members boltcd their caucus.
" has been decided to postpone the
i"int caucus till Monday. Al a late
hour last night Madden resigned as

MINNEAPOLIS NEW JAIL EASY.
lhree Prisoners Escape Right
Through the Building.

Minneapolis, Jan. S.-There was a
surprising Jail delivery from Hennepin
county's new Jail, located on the top
floor of the recently completed court
house building. Owing to the fact
that the Jail is 100 feet above the
and the only possible exit is down
through the building, escapes were
supposed to be impossible and conse-
quently the cage was built of soft
steel. Three prisoners sawed their
way out. They were John Quinn, a
19-year-old highwayman; Frank Frost,
charged with holding up a street car.
and Mickey Ryder, accused of forgery.
They took out a pane of the skylight,
crawled into the attic loft and made
their way down through the building
unobserved.

ON AN ICE FLOE.
NINE FISH ERMEN CARRIED OUT
INTO LAKE MICHIGAN.
1t Is Thought That They Cannot Es-
cape from Their Perilous Position
and viii Succumb to Cold.

Menomnee, Mich, Jan. 16.-La5t
night nine fishermen were clinging to a
block OF ice a few rods square ha
was being driven out of Green bay
into Lake Michigan by fierce sou h
crIy gale. The wind was Blowing
thirty miles an hour with an occasion
al snow squall and zero temperature.
Unless the ice foe has blown against
Chambers Island or Green Island
there Is little possibility that they will
live. The doomed men are residents
of the little fishing village OF Meme
kaunee. They are: Nels Madison,
Otto Christianson, Ed. Hoffman, Lars
Larson, Matt. paIgren, Seth JeitsoI,
John Johnson, Thomas Knutson and
Tom Lund. When the strip of ice
broke from the west shore there were
twelve or fourteen fishermen on the
Ice tending to their nets. Signals Of
distress were displayed but it was
some time before they were dis 'overed.
Meantime the Ice had swept well to-
ward the middle OF the bay. Two
ynwls were quickly manned and four
men were brought to shore, but the
others, fearing help could not reach
them from Manistec or Menominee,
rushed to the eastern side OF the Ice,
evidently intending to attempt to es-
cape to Green Island and thus reach
Chambers Island or Door buff on the
eastern shore OF Green Bay. AS
dark ness settled down, however the
Ice could be seen being carried well
into the lake. and II Is Thought es-
cape Is impossible. Estma'es OF the
number Of men on the Ice foe vary.
Some say fully 40 were carried out in
to the lake, but careful inquiry re-
vcals but nine missing.

Court Restraining Electric Rail

lying "Trip Was made over the

and Milwaukee Monday by coupe vi

3. M. DIXON, attclLeys for the road
left Madison at 1920 p. m. ana reached
Milwaukee at 1850, covering the dis
lance OF 81 miles in one nCur and a
half. Seven stops were made. mis-
is unusually fast going. The trip was
made on special tram With Thomas
Dolan as engineer and William Haven
as conductor. The object of this
rather remarkably fast trip was to
serve an order secured from the
supreme court against the laying OF
tracks by the Milwaukee, Racine anu
kenoSha Electric Runway company
over those of the Northwestern at
South Milwaukee. Notwiths ,andlng
the decision of Judge Johnson, holding
that the electric railway company has
the right to lay it's tracks across the
south milwaukee, crossing, the North
western people violently opposed Ire
construction OF the tracks. trouble
began shortly after i a. NJ. and con-
Llnued in various forms until the at
ternoon. Inc elecLrlc road company
appeared upon the scene al an early
hour with d gang OF about forty men,
who immediately set to work to lay
the crossing. Toe Northwestern COM
pany was prepared for the move anu
had a force of about eighty men ON
the scene. AS fast as the electric roau
workmen would throw out dirt
preparatory to laying the track, Jne
steam road workmen, would shovel it
back. When the electric line laborers
began work at the crossing the steam
railroad men ran big engine back
and forth over the point of the pro-
posed crossing and turned on the
steam. The rush OF the scaldlng va"
por caught some of the electric road
workmen and burned them quite Sc
verely. The electric road Worknen
got very much excited then and began
TO hurl stones and clubs at the en8ln-
eer and the steam railway men.
A number of the men were injured
by the flying missiles. The village
officials took sizes with the electric
road and proceeded TO arrest the men
who were interfering with the laying
of tracks. About fifteen OF the men
we're apprehended, but were immedl-
ateIy released upon bonds signed by
representatives OF the Northwestern
road. Assistant superintendent Can
tlllon was among those arrested by
the thirty special officers sworn in by
the village officials. Excitement
ran high and all sorts of threats were
heard on both sides.
AT about 10 o'clock Engineer w. f.
Goodhue of Milwaukee, under whose
direction the electric road is being
constructed, and Attorney f. Nj. Kear-
ney, for the same road, appeared with
an order from Judge Johnson to pre-
vent the Northwestern road employees
and officials from further interfering
with the construction OF the crossing.
AS a final resort the Northwestern peo-
pie decided to secure an order for
stay of proceedings from the supreme
court which they did.

ROMANTIC SCRAP.
Eau Claire Agog Over a Social Knock
out.

Eau Claire, Wis, Jan. 16.-Eau
Claire is agog over the thrashing ad-
ministered to John McRea, head book
keeper for the T. A. Johnson Dry
Goods company, by Edward Sommer-
meyer to whose sister McRea was en-
gagged. The fight took place in the
store in the presence of a number of
the clerks at the close of business
hours Thursday and McRea was badly
pounded. The wedding of McRea and
Miss Sommermeyer was to have taken
place within two weeks and her entire
trousseau had been prepared, but quite
recently McRea is said to have trans
ferred his affections to another girl.
To add to the sensational details the
second young lady in the case is en-
ployed in the same store and tainted
when she saw tho blood fly from Nc
Reas face.
