Much interest Is being taken in the choice
of a successor TO Senator Murphy. of New

New Way of Getting n Burglar Into
a House.
From the London Telegraph.
Two weIl-dressed men from Paris drove
up to the best hotel in country town in
the department of the Eure yesterday and
engaged a double-bedded room. They de-
posted a very heavy trunk in a corner, and
then went out to see the town, telling the
landlady, widow, that they would re-
turn at night. But night came and the two
men did not come back at the time speci-
fled. The landlady waited, much surprised,
and kept her establishment open after the
usual hour for closing. This was soon OBJ
served by the local gendarmes on duty,
who entered the hotel and reminded the
proprietress Of the place that the curfew,
or its modern substitute. had tolled the
knell or parting day, and that 1t was full
time to extinguish lights in all inns and
cafes. The widow said she was waiting for
two men who had left a big trunk behind
them This caused the gendarmes to re-
Meet little. One of them, Well-versed in
criminal annals, suddenly remembered the
GouHe case. He also thought of the young
stamp collector who was murdered in Par
is lew years since and whose body was
thrust into trunk. Anxious to secure all
the credit OF discovery which might lead
10 promotion and glory, the gendarme
learned in criminal lore asked the widow to
let him see the trunk and told his COM
panion to wait for him at the bar or bu-
vette of the hotel. The landlady accord
lngly led the man to the room, and he be-
gan TO gauge the weight of the big box,
when suddenly the lid flew up and out
Jumped wiry little man, who brandished a
zig revolver in his right hand. The widow
screamed, and the gendarme was temporar-
ny thrown off his guard, but he soon pulled
hlmseif together and grappled with the
person who had been acting jack-in-the-
pox- Inc other gendarme, hearing the land
lady's shrieks and the scuffiing overhead
