District Attorney Gardiner Finds
Radger's Real Wife.

New York, Dec 10-Dstrict Attorney

made a statement tonight TO the effect
that Mrs F. E johnson, who keeps n
boarding house at No. 1863 West Fifty
seventh Street, where Fayne Moore, the
alleged wife of W. A, Z. Moore, who was
recently tried on a charge of blackmail,
formerly lived, had confessed to him that
three of the jurors in the case had called
at her home recently to see one of the
boarders, a Mrs Watson, VINO is friend
of Mrs. Moore.
The district attorneys representative
also made statement to the effect that
a woman who has indisputable evidence
that she is Moore's wife had been found
and that she had put the authorities in
possession of important information
about Moore.
Mrs Johnson said that the call OF Ju-
ror AIdrich and his companions had been
made on Thursday last, two days after
| the Jury disagreed. The fact that the
| Jurors went there and drank wine with
| a friend Of Mrs. Moore is highly suspi-
| cious and the matter will be thoroughly
| investigated. The attorney said that Jul
| ror Aldrich said to Mrs. Watson on the
| night he called:
..It is a good thing Mrs. Moore was in
| court during the trial. could not keep
my eyes of her."
Juror Aldrich was one of those who
voted to acquit Moore"
| District Attorney Gardiner had a wo-
| man in his Office today who he declares
| is Moore's wife. He refused to tell the
| woman's full name or where she lives.
| She never knew that he had really mar
ried Fayne Strahan until Col. Gardiner
showed her the marriage certificate today.
| When she saw it she broke down and
| wept He said he abandoned her in Lon
| don and in June, 1897, he returned to
| London with Fayne Strahan.
/ Mrs. Moore also said: Moore never
worked at anything that 1 know of. He
| always had plenty of money, but l never
| knew how he got 1t. He always played
cards He met me in Cleveland first
eight or ten years ago. He denied to me
that he was married to Fayne Strahan.
and never knew it until 1 saw the mar
riage certificate. His uncle is John Moore,
millionaire In Cleveland. who owns
| transports on the lakes. His uncle is
very prominent and a near friend of
| Mark Hanna, and it was through the
latter's influence that Moore secured his
appointment as consular agent at Dur
ban. While in Johannesburg Moore got
into serious trouble, which / will not
| mention"
Col. Gardiner said tonight that 1t had
not been decided YET whether Moore would
be prosecuted for bigamy.

OF the season took place last night in the Wash

chances to score one. The game was exciting

state Politics.

Five counties held their primaries
last Saturday which resulted in
Crawford county, in nominating two
Anti-Quay candidates for the Legis-
lature and one Quay. In the contest
for delegates to the State convention
w. A. Stone was successful.
In Erie county, a like result was
obtained. In Juniata county G. w.
Stone secured the delegate. Brad
ford county gave w. A. Stone her
delegates, and Lycoming supported
Wanamaker. Up to the present
247 delegates have been chosen,
these, the Philadelphia Press says,
stand as follows about eighty-four
probably for Wanamaker, G. w.
Stone nine, Leisenring twelve,
Connell four, Judge Clayton seven,
Arnold four, and Brumm eight. BY
the above summary 1873 appear to be
in opposition to w. A. Stone, or at
least are not yet committed to him.
OF the remaining 1879, Senator Quay
will control two thirds and Stone
the balance. In order to make the
nomination therefore he must have

a Company in Pike.

The suggestion was recently made
that it would be an excellent thing
to have a military company in this
county. Not that there might be
occasion to take up arms, we hope
that day has forever passed in this
country, but for the reason that there
is something in the military training
which is ennobling to younger men.
1t brings them together socially
and engenders friendly rivalry to
improve their carriage and bearing,
and general manliness in appearance.
There is in it exercise and a training
to neatness and precision, besides
the higher lessons of patriotism and
loyalty to the country, which are
naturally engendered. There is
soul stirring harmony in the fife
and drum, and the recollection that
our forefathers marched fo Bunker
Hill and Yorktown under their in
spring strains, would be vividly re-
called and the fires of patriotism
would brighten and glow as our
young men marshalled to their
music. The PRESS suggests that
some one feels the pulse of those in
the county who might be desirous
of aiding the formation of a company
and will cheerfully publish such
suggestions as may be made.

OUR RIGHT TO INTER
NENE

Four grounds are given by Presi-
dent Mckinley, in his message sent
TO Congress last Monday, upon
which to base our right to intervene
TO end the terrible state of affairs in
Cuba by peaceable means if possible
but by force if necessary.
First for the sake of Civil zatlon
and humlnitv. Second for the
protection of the lives and property
of American citizens in Cuba. Third
because of the serions injury to our
commerce trade and business.
Fourth, Because this condition OF
affairs at our very door isa constant
menace to the peace uf the nation,
and entails upon the government an
enormous expense, compelling us to
keep on a semi war footing with a
war nation with which we are at
peace. 1t is a self-defensive right
which has always been claimed by
our government In negotiating
with us, Spain has concealed it, in
offering their mediatory offices, the
great foreign powers have recog'
nized it.
1t is supported by precedent, and
sanctioned by authorities on the law
of nations.

Governor Black, of New York,
signed last week a bill which will
prevent the sale of any game out of
season. Under the former law game
could be sold out of season if it had
been obtained in places 300 miles
distant from the State lines, and
this opened the way for game to be
unlawfully killed in the State and
sold as having been killed else
where.
