BRlSTOW IS SLUGGED
While Acting as Peacemaker
He is Knocked Over a Desk.

Washington, Dec. 24.-There were one
or two discrepancies in the story sent
out Of the scrap" between Senator
John L. Wilson of Washington and an
unknown"
thorough investigation has brought
out all the facts heretofore SO care
fully suppressed. The fight took place
in the office of Fourth Assistant Post
master General Joe BristOW Of Kansas
1t was between Senator Wilson and
John A. Richardson of Baltimore. and
in the contest Bristow got a blow near
the collar button, which knocked him
headlOng over a desk and robbed the
proceedings of any further interest to
him.
Senator Wilson is one of the smallest
men in the senate, and he is the most
pugnaciOus. During the extra session
he had a row with a senator in the
cloak room and came out on top. Once.
while member of the house, he inVad-
ed the senate restaurant and was led
out by two walters; again he tried to
enter the bureau of printing and en-
craving against the rules, and mar
rowly escaped a clubbing. But his
pugilistic Waterloo was not reached
until he met Richardson in the postof-
flee department.
Richardson is the attorney for the
postmaster general. He is as small
as Senator Wilson, but is a trained at h
lete. The two had always been friend
ly, but when Richardson met the SEN
ator at the door leading to Bristow's
office, and was told brusquely to Go
to -" when he greeted him. he let
loose a series of jabs. left hooks and
uppercuts which speedily f1oOred the
senator from Washington. When the
senator got up he dashed wildly into
Bristow's office with the irate athlete
from Baltimore in hot pursuit.
The lanky Kansan tried to head off
Richardson and shield the senator but
received a blow in the jaw which sent
him tum bling over a desk.

PRESIDENT Runs THE CAR.
Relieves the Motorman Who is IN
nrovided With Warm Clothing.

New York, Dec. 24--Albert Johnson
president of the Nassau Electric rali-
road of Brooklyn, is not above operat-
ing his own private car with the regu-
lar motorman as an only passenger
He proved it today when he stood at
the motor box lever of the car from
Ninth street to the bridge.
The democratic railroad official had
occasion to go to New York. His pri-
vate car was run out from the shed at
Twenty-third street and started bridge
ward The mOtorman had failed to
provide himself with good warm cloth
ing and as a result he shivered and
shook on the front platform of the car
until Ninth street was reached. MIR.
johnson jumped up from his richly up
holstered chair in the cosy car ana
dashed out on the platform.
Go inside and get warm, he said
to the motorman, who attempted to eX-
postulate But inside he had to go.
There, seated in the big chair, just va
Gated by his employer, he remained un-
til the bridge was reached, where Mr..
johnson deserted his post at the motor
box and went on his way to New York.

DIVORCED AFTER DEATH.
Unusual Case Decided by the Illinois
Supreme Court

Chicago, Dec. 24-The Illinois supreme
court has handed down a decision in the
Orcha rdson-M -Merrick marriage annullment
case, affirming the decree of, notification
granted by the lower court and giving
the property to the relatives of Mrs. Mer-
rick. The case is unique in that the
marriage is set aside after one of the
contracting parties has been dead almost
four years.
In 1898 Charles OrchardsOn, an artist
and at one time socialistic candidate for
mayor against the late Carter Harrison,
was married to Mrs. Merrick of Quincy,
III. Mrs. Merrick. who was over 50 years
old. was the possessor of property worth
something like 100000 Orchardson, who
was 30 years old, met Mrs. Merrick at a
spiritualistic seance in Quincy conducted
by Vera Ava, known better as Odelia Dis
Debar. and with her help, it is alleged,
prevailed upon the aged Mrs. Merrick
to marry him and make a will leaving
her property to him. Mrs. Merrick died
within a year. Shortly after her death.
Mrs Merrick's relatives brought suit to
have the marriage set aside. The case
has been in the courts for over three
years Among the ntigants were George
Turner of Michigan and J. Cofheld of
Denver, Col.
