The proprietor Of a drug store near
Thirty-eighth street, South Side, had a
thrilling experience early yesterday
morning, one that he win not coon for
get. About o'clock he was awakened
by a knocking ct the door, and upon
asking who was there, could set no sat-
isfactory reply. The visitor continued
b knock, and calling out, let me in,
Billy," succeeded in inducing the drug
glst 70 let HIM in, as the latter thought
he might know him on account Of his
being called Billy" though It proved
later that that name was merely called
out at pandom.
As soon as the door was opened, big
burly man walked boldly in. and began
warming himself by the FIRE. He sat
down In chair and asked for q glass
of whisky in a manner that showed he
intended getting It, but the proprietor
of the store intimated that he didn't
know his caller, nor cared to have any
thing to do with him, and, though he
had no revolver, threatened to shoot
him Il he did not get out The threat
was futile, and the Intruder merely sadd,
II can shoot, too"
The man was too big to attempt eject
ing him from the store, and 70 telephone
would be dangerous while he stood by.
Realizing he was the master Of the sit
uation, che man demanded o glass OF
whisky, and becoming violently abusive
that the whisky was not Forthcoming,
cursed In q terrible manner. The drug
dispenser saw he was In for 1t. There
was no one on the streets at that hour
Of the night, and he was afraid % sound
an alarm. He knew he was In a tight
place, and must become the unwilling
servant Of o willing guest But his
presence OF mind did not desert him.
His knowledge Of pharmacy did as
much as O hickory club would have
done, for in pouring out the whisky he
deftly poured in O strong dose OF NOR
phine. The drink knocked the stranger,
and as he fell into a stupor, the young
druggist, In order to further settle him,
held q bottle Of chloroform to his nos
trlls.
Searching his pockets he found large
navy revolver, which Justified the i'm
pressions he had formed Of MIN as
dangerous character. But the odor OF
the chloroforn was too much for him
also, and sinking under the strain he
fell beside his strange visitor.
Shortly after four O'Clock, the man
jumped up, talking wildly about a
wound in his head, and seeing the pros
trate form OF the young man beside him,
shook him roughly, and after bringing
him to his feet, demanded more whls-
ky. But none o that cheap stun you
give me before"
"Well, that's the only kind we have"
was the shrewd reply.
some air then"
He was let out with the greatest OF
pleasure" and the relief OF the druggist
as he locked the door can be easily Inn
agined. Who the man was Is hard to
determine, q tramp, probably, though
he was well dressed He was about
forty years OF age and unprepossessin6
in appearance. It Is not likely that he
will be caught.

THE EFFECTS OF FUSION LEGIS
LATION.
(Franklin Press.)

A States witness was subpOenaed to
attend court here last week to testify
before the grand jury against two de-
fendents. He had to come eighteen
miles and be absent from his home three
days and two nights and board himself.
In proving his attendance he had to pay
10 cents cash for his ticket. His ticket
amounted to $500. There was no true
bill found. The ticket was presented to
the board of county commissioners to
be audited. The board refused to audit
it. Their excuse was that the last legis-
lature passed an act that does not al
low witnesses anything in cases where
no bills are found. We have not seen
the law, but have the commissioners
word for it. Is it fair to compel witness
es to come long distances at much eX-
pense to attend court, and then get
nothing whatever for it? What legisla-
ture except such as North Carolina has
had the last two terms could enact such
a law? How do witnesses who have at
tended court and can get nothing for
their services like fusion laws? VIII
they vote for that gang again?

Incidents of the Last Campaign and
This Bearing on the Union Pacific
Sale-A 100000 Fund.
Mr. Mckinley was nominated, Mark
Hanna was made chairman of the Ma
tiOnal committee and plans were laid 10
collect money for the campaign. Mr..
Hanna came to New York to tap Wall
street. The air was frosty, though it
was midsummer. Bankers hesitated and
Hanna was perplexed. Why should the
gold bugs pause? What could he do?
An intimation was given to him that
many of these bankers were interested
in the reorganization of the Union Pa.
cifc. Mr.. Hanna was willing to ex-
anime into the Union Pacific problem,
and declared his willingness to consider
it with "an open mind"
Many meetings were held, the first at
the office of Kuhn, Leob & Co., about
August 10, 1896, others at the Mercantile
Trust Company, and prominent members
Of the bankers pool attended and dis
cussed with Mr.. Hanna ways and means
to raise colossal campaign fund.
AT the first meeting of the pool, after
the nomination and before Mr. Hanna
was taken into anybody's confidence, it
was gravely considered whether it would
not be well to enter into negotiations
both with the Bryan and Mckinley ma
tional committees, so that whichever
won the election the bankers pool
would be ON confidential terms with the
new administration.
After the first meeting the bankers
pool decided that it would be unneces-
sary to deal with the Bryan managers,
| though one of them, a United States
| Senator, was called upon to appear be-
fore it and did so. After deciding to
| confine its contributions to the Hanna
campaign fund the committee delicately
| approached the chairman to know what
| his views were in respect to selling out
| the governments interest in the Union
| Pacific.
| Mr.. Hanna had been a government
| Director of the road and was familiar
with its operations. Mr. Hanna was in
vited to meet conspicuous member of
the bankers pool at Ophir Farm, as
the guest of Whitelaw Reid There a
| confidential conversation occurred, and
within less than a week thereafter, the
bankers pool set out to raise a colossal
sum of money. Over 100000 was the
| amount mentioned.
The most prominent single interest in
the reorganization scheme then request
ed that it should have the privilege of
appointing personal representative who
should deal with the Republican cam
paign committee. This privilege was
Immediately accorded by the other mem
bers of the committee.
When the election was passed the one
member Of the Cabinet in whom the
bankers pool was most interested was
the Attorney General-the law officer OF
the Government whose duty it is to de
termine the terms of the sale of the
Union Pacific. A prominent member OF
the pool is the Mercantile Trust Com
pany, which, as is well known, is con
trolled by the Equitable Assurance So
ciety. Col. John ]. McCook, of the firm

IL is but little iesB than two years
since the people Of Maryland rose in
their might, and by defeating the en-
tire Democratic ticket dethroned one OF
the greatest political liossss Of the day,
Senator Arthur r. German. Mr.. Cor.

methods became so obnoxious and his

peuple went into revolt and be was d.
feated.
The result. however. was the en-
thronement of u new boss, Senator
Wellington, who was the head and front
of the Republican organization during
the campaign that resulted in the sig
nal Democratic defeat. Wellington bad

and was regarded as an able political
leader, and 80 be was selected TO lead
the Republican forces in that memora.

But victory turned the head Of We'll

ally in the direction of his ambition,

the State. lie had himself elected to

the Senaturship then about 10 become
vecant to the Eastern Shore. of which
section he was not resident. He
bussed the Legislature completely. This
year he also attempted to dictate to
Mckinley, in the most absolute manner,
the distribution OF Federal patronage
in Maryland, claiming that it was his
right as Senator, to do so. But Me-
Kinley refused to accede to his wishes.
and thus he met with this first rebuff.
Still he continued TO exercise his bees,
ship Of the party in Maryland, TO a
most offensive degree, until the revolt
against his methods became SO great aa
to get beyond his control. He had even
insisted upon debating who should be
nominated for mayor by the Republi.
csns OF Baltimore.
The State Convention Of tho Repub-
lican party was held at OCEAN City, last
week, and Wellington was summary
dethroned. His action in forcing the
primaries that resulted in the nomina
tion of his man for mayor of Daltimor,
was reversed, and new primaries or
dered. He was also deposed from th,
leadership Of the party. Even the dele
gates from the district that formerly
sent MIN to Congress voted for his re
