Alcohol externally applied) will
knock the chiggers. Tt is a dead shot
if the applica ton is made before you
scratch. Strong canaphor answers the
same purpose, but the smell of camphor
is not 50 agreeable to most people. The
main point in fighting chiggers is to get
after them before you scratch. Scratch
ing causes the flesh to swell over them
and that is a protection. The time to
get the drop on chigger is when you
first feel his boring machine. Give that
whole section of your anatomy a bath
of alcohol or some other strong solu-
ton, and that will be the last of the
chsgger. 1t is better to spend two min

HANNA THE ISSUE.
Prospects of a Democratic Legfsla-
lature In Ohio.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. l. 1S97.-Usually
the speaking campaign closes in this
State on Saturday night preceding the
election. There will be meetings tonight,
however, In many of the counties. The
fight is being waged up to the eve of the
balloting, with ward meetings in this city
and in other cities. The contest in Ohio
ed to be in doubt.
The efforts of both the Republicans and
also of the Democrats on the last day of
for their Legislative tickets indicate that
the battle of ballots will be centred on
candidates for the Legislature The State
in any manner ignored. Conservative
Democrats say they have no such chance
for the election of their State ticket as
for the Legislative tickets The more san
guine Democrats expect tidal wave that
secure Democratic majority in the Legis-
lature, but it is evident that the Demo-
cratic managers are expecting more for
their Legislative than for their State
ticket.
This is especially true Of the situation
in Cincinpati. The Republicans say their
State ticket will be elected by a large
plurality and that the Legislature is the
only thing in doubt. The Republicans
claim they will make a majority of the
Legislature without Hamilton county and
they are today claiming they will elect
the fourteen members of the LEGISLATURE
from this county by reduced majorities.
Hamilton county by from 10000 to IL 900
plurality.

are to be elected. OF the latter, nine Of
the holdover are Republicans and put
three are Democrats, the death of Senator
Bond, Democrat having created a vacan-
cy in his district. The Republicans claim
that a thorough canvass of the State
shows clear majority for their side on
joint ballot, and insures the election OF
a Republican to succeed Senator German;
The Democratic leaders claim with equal
confidence, that exactly the reverse Is
true, and both sides produce figures IN
support of their assertions. The same
may be said concerning the race for the
mayoralty in Baltimore city, in which
William L. Malster Republican, and Hen
~ Williams, Democrat. are the contend
ing candidates. The polls open at six
A. M. in the city and seven A. M. in the
counties, closing at five p. M. in the city
and an hour later in the counties. II the
contest Is as close as 1t promises to be,
the result will probably not be known un-
til Wednesday, because of the remoteness
from telegraphic communication of some
of the more important points
Two years ago the Republicans elected
Lowndes Governor by nearly 10000 and
last year Mckinley carried the State by
s., 1000, but for many years prior to that the
Democrats were uniformly successful.

STEP CHILDREN THE ISSUE.
Husbands Demand for Board Ends
Up In Proceedings for AIimOny.


'@This is the first time this question has
been raised in this State, gentlemen" said
Vice Chancellor Stevens this morning, in
Chancery Chambers, land I will want
time to consider it,
The question raised was whether the
Court could compelNa man to support his
step children. Senator DAILY applied for
counsel fee and alimony in behalf of Ell
len Gillespie of West Hoboken, who has
begun suit against her husband James
Gillespie sets forth that she married
James February 49, 1887 She was then a
widow with two children, Edward, then
seven years old, and Maud, then l5is. iiye {.
with her husband until July, 1885, when he
told her two children that they would
have to pay board or leave the house:
She protested against such treatment of
her children, and her husband told her
that If she did not like it she could go,
too. She did SO, and left his house with
her children. Since then she has been
living in West Hoboken.
In asking for the alimony, Mr.. DAILY
wanted an amount granted large enough
to pay for the support of the two chill
dren. He claimed that as the defendant
had occupied the place of parent to these
two children for SO many years he should
be compelled to still support them.
William S. Stuhr, on behalf of A. Gil
claimed that Mrs. Gillespie's leaving her
husband amounted to practical deser-
ton and she was not entitled to any ali
mony. Her husband, however. was ready
of an age to support themselves they
should do so or at least contribute some
thing. to their support. The boy. he said,
had been working. and receiving fair
him to pay board.
The Vice Chancellor took the papers.

FAKE DETECTIVE CAUGHT.
RufHan Undertook to Stop a Hobo
ken Danee-VigOrOus Ladies.

Harry Van Cleft tWenty-four years old,
of No. 129 New York avenue. this city,
was fined $40 by Recorder McDonough.
Of Hoboken. yesterday morning, for try
ing to personate a policeman.
Van Cleft went to Hoboken on Saturday
night in company with three young men
about his own age. They visited number
of concert halls and by. midnight they
began to act as though they owned the
city. About two o'clock Sunday morning
they strolled into Holsten's Hall, at First
and Bloomfield street, where the members
of Columbia Stamm, a ladies' branch of
the Ancient Order of Red Men were hold
ing a reception.
The dancing was just at its height when
Van Cleft, who appeared to be the leader
of the gang, pushed his way through the
crowd and ordered the dance stopped.
Don't you know it's Sunday morning?"
he shouted. IF you go on with this
racket I'll arrest every one of you
The ladies and their friends were
startled at the interruption. The music
stopped and everybody was confused.
Some of the woman thought that the
place had been raided by the police and
they began to rush from the hall.
Mrs. Johanna Lynn, of No. ,230 Wash
ington street and Mrs. Martha Krieta, of
No. 1876 Garden street, who were on the
Committee of Arrangements stepped up to
the intruder and asked him to show his
authority.
I'm a detective exclaimed Van Cleft,
opening his coat and displaying tin
shield "If you don't want to get into
trouble you had better stop this dance
at once or I'll pull the house,
Who sent you here?" asked Mrs. Lynn
excitedly.
Van Cleft hesitated awhile and then re-
piled, Never mind about that; you just
do as I tell you
Mrs. Lynn Immediately jumped to the
conclusion that the young man was play
ing the part of a detective without au-
thority and she ordered him from the
hall. He refused to go and she called
to a number of her friends to assist in
ejeeting him. Van Cleft strenuously re-
sisted, but when three staunch women
got "a hold of him it took only a few
minutes to land him on the sidewalk.
Policeman Beatty was then summoned
and he took the would-be detective to Po-
lice Headquarters, where it was discov-
cred that the shield he carried was only
a blank piece of tin. Van Cleft's three
friends escaped in the scuffle
1t was said that they had made several
attempts to enter the hall early in the
evening, but had been elected by the pro-
priafor

IN 4 DYING CONDITION.
Strenuous Efforts to Be Made
to Keep the Y. M. c. A.
from Going to Pieces.

The Young Mems Christian Association
affairs are in a very bad condition, and
unless something can be done to increase
the interest in the movement In this city,
and secure tlfe additional financial aid
which is needed the organization will
probably be disbanded. A last effort to
keep the association going is being made
by Secretary Brown, who was recently
put in charge of the work here. He has
hopes of succeeding in the accomplish
ment of the herculean task he has under
taken. One great drawback to the success
of the Y. NJ. c. A, in the opinion OF Sec
retary Brown, is the location of its rooms.
Whether the association continues or
not, it will probably leave Hasbrouck In
stitute. It's lease of the rooms on the
third floor and the gymnasium expires on
January l next. 1t is not likely that it
will be renewed The matter is now in
the hands of committee, of which Presi-
dent Elijah Cowles is chairman, for con-
sideration. There are many disadvan-
tages in the present location of the as
sociation's rooms. In the first place it IS
necessary to climb two tiresome flights OF
stairs to reach the rooms, which prevents
many persons from availing themselves
of the privileges offered
Another drawback is the restriction as
to hours The faculty of Hasbrouck In
stitute will not permit the rooms to be
opened before four o'clock in the after
noon and compels the secretary to close
them promptly at 10 o'clock. Then, too,
the location is not central enough. 1t is
too far removed from the class of young
men the association desires to reach. Sec
retary Brown has begun this. week to
make a systematic canvass of the city.
Portions of the city will be worked for
recruits for the association, while in
other sections financial aid will be solicit
ed.
At present the total membership Of the
association is not above $50. If Secretary
Brown succeeds in increasing the mem
bership and securing subscriptions suffi-
cient to place the association on q pay
ing basis it will not be disbanded.
If the money is forthcoming and 1t is
decided to continue the work, Hasbrouck
Institute will be abandoned and a suit
able house in location which is more
central will be secured. The rooms In
Hasbrouck Institute will probably be
rented to the University Club. which has
the matter of suitable quarters under ad-
visement at the present time.

VIRGINIA's DULL FIGHT.

RICHMOND. Va, Nov 1, 1ssZ-Indiea-
tions point to the lightest vote ever polled
in Virginia tomorrow. The respective
State chairmenz will make no predictions,
but say they anticipate no heavy vote,
except in legislative districts where hot
contests have been waged. The Demo-
cratic State ticket undoubtedly will win
by safe majority though some fears are
expressed for Edward Echols, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
Captain Cooke, the Populist candidate,
having made vigorous campaign.
The prohibition vote will be small. The
Legislature will be largely Democratic un-
now thought. There is likelihood of one
negro law maker being elected in the
Southwest, the first in years. Weather

DAMAGES FOR HEB TEMPER.
Odd Plea in a Suit Against the Trac
ten fl0pnpmpv


A suit Of Mary A. Gallagher and her
husband, James H., to recover $4,000 from
the Consolidated Traction Company for
injuries received by Mrs. Gallagher, is
being held today for the second time in
the Circuit Court before Judge Nevius.
At the previous trial the jury awarded
Mrs. Gallagher 81 800 and her husband
$500 for the loss of her services.
The Gallaghers live at No. So Willow
court, Bayonne. On June II. 1885, Mrs.
Gallagher visited some friends in Lafay-
cite. While on her way home in an open
car she signalled the conductor tc gtop
at Thirty-third street. The condI eors, 1t
is alleged, failed to give the nIotorman
any signal until the car was almost at
the corner.
Mrs. Gallagher was standing up, hold
ing the back of the seat in front of her.
When the conductor rang the bell the mo-
torman stopped the sar SO suddenly that
Mrs. Gallagher was thrown from the car
and severely injured. The PLAINTIFFS law
yer claims that Mrs. Gallagher is still
suffering from the nervous shock to her
system. Before the accident she was a
kind, and loving mother, and now she is
ill-tempered and cross.
The defence will be contributory negli-

Colonel smiths Wife Wants Him At

Counsellor Warren Dixon obtained from
Chancellor McGill this morning an order
compelling Colonel Robert Smith, Com
mander of the Fourth Regiment, to show
cause why he should not be attached for
contempt of court in not obeying the or
der of the Chancellor made August g. re-
questing him to pay his wife S5 a week ali
mony pending his suit against her for di-
vorce. He has not paid her a cent on the
order.
The case is considered a sensational one
and when it comes UP on final hearing
some interesting developments are expect
ed. Previous to filing his bill Colonel
Smith and his wife had not lived to-
gether for five years. He charges that
he separated from his wife on account of
her Incorporate habits, and since their
separation she has been guilty of un-
faithfulness. He names as correspondents
Michael Keegan and John Wedin. Colonel
Smith and his wife have had five chill
dren.
City Attorney William p. Douglass, who
represents Colonel Smith, was not pres
ent at the proceedings this morning, and
when seen later said that he knew moth

Lawyer a. NJ Ward of Paterson OBJ
tanned from Vice Chancellor Stevens this
morning an order directing Edward Nor
gan, of Paterson, to pay his wife Leila Sc
week alimony pending his suit against
her for divorce. According to the plead
ings, the parties were married in Pater-
son February %, 1893. Morgan charges
his wife with unfaithfulness and names
as correspondents James Bertholf, of Pat
erson; James Rogers, of Newark, and
Samuel B. Paterson, of Brooklyn.
Mrs. Morgan, in her answer, denies these
allegations, and in retaliation brings the
same charges against her husband, nam
ing for correspondent a young woman
named Lizzie Bonn, who, with her sister,
kept a road house near Paterson. 1t was
stated that Morgan's picture and that of
another man, friend of Miss Bonns sis
ter, hung on the wall of the road house.
Morgan and Miss Bonn quarrelled and
Miss Bonn literally turned his picture to
the wall
Mr. Munson Force, who appeared for
Morgan, told the court that Mrs. Morgan
was living out of the State. Mr.. Ward
explained that when Morgan and his wife
separated he promised to pay her $50 a
week This he had not done, and his wife
was obliged to live upon the charity of
some friends in Brooklyn. After a short
argument the Vice Chancellor made the
order.

FLAMES IN a TENEMENT.

A fire broke out about six o'clock last
evening in the cellar under Benjamin
Levin's grocery store, at No. ITO Madison
street, Hoboken. The building is three
story frame and the apartment over the
store are occupied by two families. Be-
fore the flames were discovered they had
gained considerable headway, and by the
time the firenen arrived they had burned
through to the second floor. The stock
destroyed.
All the tenants escaped in safety but
their effects were badly damaged by wa
ter The firemen succeeded in extinguish-
ing the blaze, however, before the build
ing was gutted. 1t is expected that the
damage will exceed $500. The cause of
the fire is unknown.
