Chicago, October 31.-A. Bridewell, pris- oner of many aliases and who two wo- men claim as their husband has been identified as the original of picture for warded from Wheeling, w. Va, as the likeness of Jacob Adolph Huff, who is sus- pected of complicity in causing the death of Mrs. Jacob Huff, to whom he was mar
 ried in 1895 and whose death occurred two months later. The day after her burial, Huff disappeared. His clothing and watch were found on the bank of the Ohio river, and 1t was thought grief caused him to commit suicide. The discovery that he had drawn $900 from the bank and pawned his wife's jewelry caused a suspicion that she had not died a natural death. A week ago Rev. Mir Haase, after reading of a poygamist in Chicago, one of whose aliases was Huff, sent the picture. fluff denied ever having been in Wheeling. Nearly month ago it is discovered that he was wanted in Milwaukee for bigamy. An investigation developed that at least ten women claimed him as their husband.

 Other wheels by the leading makers will be put on the market for $40. $35 and s25 but the prices for the best grades, tho manufacturers say, will not be cut during the season of '99.
 With chainless wheels at s125 the sale was very limited this season. but the cut In price is expected by the manufacturers to result in a heavy demand for them next year.

SOLDIER SHOT
 ACCIDENTALLY
Emmett Young Fired a Pistol He
 Didn't Know Was Loaded.
JAMES HOLDEN WAS HIT
The Young Men Were in a Pawnshop Purchasing the Weapon-Young Was Shot Through
 the Hand

James W. Holden, soldier of Company B, First Alabama volunteers, was ac- cidentally shot in the pawn shop of Abe Rich in Twentieth street last night about U o'clock.
 5 The bullet entered the young mans body and may prove fatal. He stood the shock well, and was resting easy last night, but the wound is one of the kind that cannot be judged on first examination.
 Holden was in the pawn shop buying . pistol, w nnessmate by the name of Emmet Young was with him. Holden selected a 3S-calibre Smith & Wesson weapon and loaded 1t without the knowledge of his friend. Young picked the pistol up, and, not knowing it was loaded, placed the bar rel against k.s left hand and pulled the trigger.
 The ball pierced Young's hand and en- tered Holden's body, who was standing just opposite him. Holden did not fall, but in company with his friend left the pawn shop. They walked across the street to the drug store of Majors, Morrow Sin nige. They next walked all the way to the Metropolitan hotel and up the steps to the first floor.
 On the way Holden stated to gentleman who was passing that the shooting was ac- cidental. His wound was dressed by pr. Berry who pronounced it not necessarily fatal.
 Both young men were from Florence, and intended returning home last night.

An Accomplished Fact

Long distance telephoning for B!rming- ham Is fact and business men are be- ginning to appreciate it. An important special order was received by Ben M. Jacobs & Bros. the furniture dealers, and with their usual push and enterprise ob- tained connection and telephoned them di- rect to the factories at Cincinnati O., and Sheboygan, Wis, completing their deal and leaving no doubt as to detail. The satisfaction derived from the use of the telephone was far greater to Jacobs in this instance than the expense. With the long distance and the new local sys- tenn, Birmingham can now say that she takes her place among the metropolitan cities.

Line of Steamships

Washington, October 31.-Ambassador J. Hitchcock, at St. Petersburg, has been in communication with the state department regarding the establishment of steamship communication between the United States and Russia, in view of the increase of trade between the two countries. Through United States Consul Bornholdt, at Riga. arrangements have been made with the United Steamship company, of Copenhagen which possesses large fleet of steamships, to establish line direct between Russia and the United States. The vessels will make experimental runs between St. Pet ersburg, Riga and New York The advan- tage to the importers in the United States of this line, according to Consul Bornholdt will be in cheaper freights and avoidance of trans-shipments. He is confident it will increase the trade between the two coun- tries and bespeaks patronage for it as es- sential to it's continuance.

The fire department was kept busy Sum lay afternoon. The first alarm came in from Seventh avenue and Nineteenth street where a servants house in the rear of M. aWertheimer's residence was burning. The fire was soon under control and little dam- age resulted.

The Northside department responded promptly and found the house of Lovinia Burt, negro woman, in flames. There was no water near at hand and before the depart ment could get to work the house burned to the ground.

 Pekin Is Proposed.

Pekin, October 31.-Baron Won Heyking. the German minister to China, has pro- posed to the representatives of the powers to Pekin joint occupation of the railway from Han Kiah Kwang to Pekin, thus securing communication with the coast, un- less the Chinese government promptly withdraws its troops to a safe distance from the line.

HUNG IN EFFIGY.
A Dummy Placarded Owen P. Fitz-
 simmons.

It was nothing but plain suit of clothes of the fashion worn by Uncle Sam's soldiers stuffed with straw. It was hanging to the portico in front of the in Twenty-irst street.
 The men or set of men who fixed it did not have an eye to the artistic. but rather to the grotesque. Their work was suf- ficient to attract the attention of several hundred passers by. It was hanging di- rectly over the side walk in full view of every pedestrian.
 It was the subject of curiosity for an hour before the police arrived and cut the dummy loose from it's moorings. It was almost covered with placards which read as follows:

SENATOR HANNA.
Says the Republican Vote in Ohio Will
 Be Decreased.

Cleveland, O., October s1.-Senator Mark A. Hanna, discussing the probable result of the coming state election, said today: "I am of the opinion that the republican majority in Ohio will not be as large as in 1896 and believe there will be a slight falling off from last years figures. The reports from the state committee are very favorable, however, and I am sure the re- publicans will be victorious in this state.''
 Senator Hanna said there was very little truth in the report to the effect that the national campaign would be opened in- mediately after the fall campaign.
