ROU MANIAN NOBLEMAN
ARRESTED IN CHICAGO
Claims He Barely Escaped Becoming
the Victim of PorkvilIe
SharperS

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Count Leopold de
Bovitiz of Bucharest, Roumania, was ar
rested to-day on a charge of obtaining
IS 70 by false pretenses. The Count
claims that he is a victim of clever
confidence game in which it was intended
that he should be swindled out of s6000
AS a result of his suspicious he caused
the arrest of Marvin Victor Henshaw,
teacher of dramatic art, and L. E. Hen
shaw and D. J. Hallaman, lawyers.
The Count came to Chicago several days
ago upon the solicitation, he says, Of
Ernest Salvador, a playwright. He be-
came interested in a play written by Sal
vator, and was introduced to Martin Vic
tor Henshaw. Henshaw, according to the
Count, agreed to stage the play If BovitiZ
would furnish the money. The Count did
not have any ready money, but volun-
teered to send to Roumania for the nee
essary amount Henshaw gave him s. rs
with which to pay for the cablegram, and
when the money was not forthcoming a
warrant was obtained for the nobleman' 8
arrest. Bovitiz was arraigned in the
Criminal Court to-day, but the hearing
was continued until November. Mr.. Hen
shaw and the two lawyers deny that any
attempt was made to defraud the Count.

The schooner showed signs of dis

tug Cornelia started for the rescue, but
the great seas nearly swamped the boat
and the Cornelia was compelled to re-
turn to the harbor. Word was sent to
Charlotte that the distressed vessel had
been sighted near Pultneyville, and the
tug Proctor started with the life
saving crew. When within mile of

were Mortified to see the ship sink.
In ten minutes the tug was cruising

Two years ago the Republican legisla-
tive ticket was elected in this county
without a break. On that occasion one
Senator and six. Assemblymen were elect
ed. AT the coming election two Senators
and six Assemblymen are to be elected
and there is no doubt but that the Re
publican ticket will be entirely success
full.
One of the most active campaigners for
the legislative ticket is Frank A. Leav-
lit, who two years ago was elected to the
Assembly and made such good record
that when the late Eli Denison declared
his intention, long before his death, Of
quitting politics, 1t was regarded as fit
ting and proper that his Senatorial mantle
should fall on the shoulders of Assembly
man Leavitt. Mr.. Leavitt has recently
gone all over his district and his con-
fldence in the success of the Republican
ticket has been materially strengthened
by his experiences with the voters. He
has also canyassed the situation in re-
gard to the Assembly candidates and says
there is no room for doubt as to the re-
suit. AT the many meetings which he
attended Assemblyman Leavitt was very
enthusiastically received and assurances
are utterly disguised with the peculiar
antics of the so-called fusionists.
President Lukens. of the Republican AL
lance has issued the following orders:
Saturday, October 29LThe Alliance must turn

Strangled by Demo-
cratic Corruption.
EDITORIAL FROM INDUSTRY
A CURSE ON BRIBE TAKING
OFFICE SEEKERS.
Peoples Party Was Sold Out at Sac
ramento by Those Who Sought
for Personal Adj
vancement.

The following is an editorial from
Industry, the leading Populist paper
of California, published at Oakland
October q, 1898:
POPULISM DIES IN THE CESSPOOL
OF DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION.
After the fusion convention at Sacra--
mento, the chairman and secretary ana
tifty-seven members withdrew from the
San Francisco Peoples Party County
Committee, leaving it in possession of A.
B. Kline, George Silvey and other Demo
crauc office-holders. One OF the Cal
laShers openly boosted to a member OF
the committee that he owned the commit
tee and had paid for il. Money was Of
fered openly for votes III the interest OF a
fusion delegation at the election or the
delegates to Sacramento, and the fare
and expenses of most of the fusion dele
gates were paid with Democratic money.
After the Democratic ring got Magulre
nominated 1t completely ignored what re-
manned of the Populist County Commit
tee in San Francisco. The Phelan Demo-
cratic convention met and nominated a
full ticket of Democrats, never noticing
the existence of the Populist Piece Club
run by Kline, Silvey CO.; not Popu-
list was nominated by the Democrats.
Then the Populist fusion Piece Club re
solved itself into a convention and put up
its Endorsements for sale, indorsing both
Democrats and Republicans in dis
gusting, loathsome manner. Men were
taken into secret session before terms
were arranged. The price was small, but
more than the Endorsement of such a
piece club was worth. Not straight
Populist was nominated. Carroll, sore
head Democrat who failed Of Demo-
cratic nomination, was given nomina-
ton for Justice of the Peace, and II. w.
Philbrook, who ran in 1896 as candidate
of the A. P. A party, was nominated
and will get less votes than he got when
he ran as an A. P. A. alone. These, we be-
lieve, are the only ones not nominees OF
other parties.
On Thursday night they went through
the farce of ratification meeting. Inc
first speaker was Phelan, an open gold
bug, followed by several Democratic
nominees. Not a Populist speech was
made or Populist heard Of.
So expires in the cesspool of rotten poll
tics the party which once commanded
honor and respect. Yet bribe-taking can
didates on the fusion ticket-bribed by
office-and their organs have the gall to
denounce the men who have spen years
to build up the Peoples party, simply be-
cause they have tried to preserve 1t and
kee~ 1t from being strangied to death in
this loathsome manner. May an all-mer-
ciful God forgive them. If He does 1t will
not be because they know not what they
do They sold out at Sacramento for the
promise of office and salaries and went
back to their homes to receive the NOM
nations for local offices, which was the
price of their votes. Such fusion should
be defeated by voting directly against 1t.

No Parade Needed.

The Republican parade committee held
a meeting Wednesday evening in the
Union League Club rooms at the Palace,
H. c. Firebaugh presiding.
The report of the committee of five, APP
pointed at the last meeting to confer with
the State Central and County commit
tees, resulted in a decision not to have
a parade this campaign-it being the
sense of the meeting that the Republican
outlook was so favorable not to re-
quire any. It was thought best, how
ever, to preserve the organization, In the
hope that 1t might assist the State Cen
trail and County committees in watching
the polls. With this object in view, the
secretary was instructed to invite q rep
resentation from every Republican club
in this city to be present at the next
meeting, to be held at the same place. on
Tuesday evening next. at o'clock.
