back and in carriages eager for the sport.
With dogs barking, trllmpcts blowing,
men and boys yelling the start was made
and many people awaken from their
slumber at this early hour. Before the
dogs were half mile from town they had
struck sly Reynolds trail 1t was then
seven o'clock and the chase had begun,
For seven hours it continued, with but
fifteen minutes intermission, when the
fox eluded the dogs. From seven O'Clock
to eleven there was not one minute that
the barking of the dogs could not be
heard. All that time they were close
after the fox and many times did those
on horseback and in carriages have an
unobs,ructed view of the chase. For
nearly half mile OF the chase many saw
the fox only ten yards ahead Of the pack
of hounds. The run covered many
miles.
From near town the fox went to Mid
dleford, thence to Fishers mill. Then
nearly to Georgetown and at ten O'Clock
was at the edge of Bridgeville again.
This circuit was repeated and the fox
started in the direction Of Middleford,
when the dogs drove it to earth on the
Messick farm, four miles from town.
Some of those who enjoyed the chase
and reached the den shortly after the fox
was down into it, were: George Willin,

SPECIAL to The SuN.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb ll.-lt leaked out
tonight that the Democratic party OF
this city is in II very bad way financially
and that he workers who are expected
to look after the party's interests here on
next Tuesday will have to do SO for love
as there is no money in the treasury OF
the city committee to pay campaign rx-
penSeS.
Ever since William +. IIarlity has been
running things here the party has gone
from bad to worse till now with its num-
bers reduced to ridiculous figures and its
treasury bankrupt no one can be found
so poor as to do it honor.
For sometime past the managers OF the
party have been up against it, to use a
sporting phrase. There was no money in
sight and the heelers were clamoring for
Doodle louder and louder every day.
Today a last desperate round up was
made in the hope that some gold might
be dug up from some quarter to pull the
party ont Of the deep dark hole it was in.
Charley Donnelly, who is up for receiver
OF taxes, has not chance in million,
and he refused to come up for cent.
James W. Gorman, candidate for magis-
tratc was asked for 1900. but as his
chances for election are not rosy, he de-
clined to give up more than five hun
drd
This is only drop in the bucket of
three hundred candidates for assessors
who were asked to chip in fifty dollars
each. only eleven responded.
After Il consultation today the Demo.
cratic city committee decided to throw
up its hands. declare itself bankrupt and
tell the heelers and workers that the

Clara Whitcrait, Of no. 4l5 Tatnal

nervous attack and dcSirons of u,lieting
them took an overdose Of morphine,
which came very near ending in suicide.
She was in Il prcariols condition for
quite while, and it took strong efforts
to save her life. She claimed, as pre-
vious y stated, to have taken the poison
for her nerves, but it is thought she took
it with suicidal intent. Her physical
condition is thought to have been the
cause of her alleged attempt at suicide.
After drinking for several DAYS she
had returned home and was again be-
coming sober and as her mind was in an
eXcltable state, some one made some
slurring remarks, she procured the said
morphine and took an over dose acci-
