sWINDLED BY HEATHEN CHINEE.
His Name Vas Two Low, and His ways,
Although Not Vain. We're Peculiar.

PoUoHK EEPsIE, Nov. Is.-Jacob Dietz,
a property owner In this city, has just had
an experience with a Heather Chinee,
whose tricks certainly were not vain. al
though his ways were exceedingly peculiar.
Several weeks ago a smiling Monaghan,
who identified himself as Two Low
rented a store on lower Main street from
Jacob Dietz for a laundry. Before rent
day came around 1.-TWO Low" was con-
WINGED that business did not pay in that
particular location and he called his land
lord into the laundry and told him that
he was about TO leave town md, pointing
TO q large assortment of bundles. apparently
of laundry done up and ready. for de-.
livery, he informed him that If he would
collect the money due on IL the sum re-
allied would square ~ for the rent. After
the Chinaman had gone Mr.. Dietz went
into the laundry to see who owned he
linen and removed the coverings from some
of the packages. To his grest surprise
Mr.. Two Low" had substituted excelsior
and paper for the laundry. Detectives
are searching for the Oriental swindler.

Of Yale University was visited on last
Thursday by Manager Van Buren, of the
Grand Opera House in this city who saidthat
he feared Yale students would raise mis-
chief in the theatre On Saturday night
after the Yale-Princcton football game.
Mr.. Van Buren, asked President Hadley
II he would not say something to the boys
by way Of caution and request them TO
behave themselves during the perform
ance. Mr.. Van Buren, did not desire that
the Yale men should remain as quiet as
mice at the show and he gave President
Hadley 10 understand that a fair amount
of enthusiasm would be- tolerated.
II was said tonight that President Hadley
told the theatrical manager that he would
take the matter under consideration. What
action President Hadley took j. not known.
Several hundred students, however, had
n good-sized riot in the theatre Just a.
Manager Van Buren, feared. Eight students
were arrested on saturday night Tor

Boston Ties Up Travel.

BosroN, Nov. ia couple Of brass
curtain rods, accidentally dropped to-day
across the third rail In the Sullivan's Square
terminal Of the elevated railroad, short
circuited the whole system. burned out a
lot Of insulation along the road and brought
traffic TO a standstill just as the late
afternoon rush Of travel was beginning
The brass ODDS had been purchased by a
woman and she was evidently carrying
them home when they fell across the tracks,
forming a conductor between the power
carrying rail and the next one TO It,. There
was a binding fash of light where the rods
struck and In an instant the station was
full Of smoke from the burning OF the IN
sulated connections between the rails.
In the Haymarket Square. Scollay Square
and Park street stations there were similar
flashes and the trains came to a standstil.
The passengers hurried out of the cars In
fear. After a delay Of fifteen minutes,
the power came on again N the trains
started. Later traffic came TO a complete
stop twice. apparently as the result OF the
fall Of the brass roods. The railroad people
say considerable damage has been done.

HAMILTON COUNTY,S SHERIFF.
He Wasn't Nominated for the once, but
Was Elected All the same.

GLENs FALLS, Nov. 1s.-The ~canvassing
board of Hamilton county has just finished
an exciting session by declaring James
n. Locke elected Sheriff by a majority OF
40. Locke "a not nominated for the
Office and his candidacy was not known
t%wenty-four hours before election day
To begin with. the Republican and Demo-
cratic county conventions were held IN
the same hall on the same day. one being
called TO order on the adjournment OF the
other. The party leaders divided the
Offices. b. Frank Kathon was nominated
for Sheriff by the Republicans and a blank
was left on the Democratic ticket opposite.
This was not pleasing to the Democratic
incumbent Of that Office. 80 on Monday
morning before election he and some OF
his deputies started on a ride through the
county, giving the faithful instructions
to write Locke's name for Sheriff in the blank
column. SO thoroughly did they do the
work and 30 Careful were their ~instruc-
tions followed that Of about $50 ballots
cast in the county, Locke had about $40. n
his opponent the remainder.
This is probably the first instance In the
State OF a candidate whose name was not

SENATOR d. n. PLATTS VIEWS
Says Congress should Proceed with De
liberation In Regard 10 Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Ex-senator Platt
of Connecticut, chairman Of the senate
Committee on Relations with Cuba and the
third ranking Republican member OF the
Finance Committee, arrived in Washington
tonight and will meet the President to-
morrow. Senator Plat said tonight that
II was absurd for any one Senator or Repre-
sentative to map out a plan OF legislation,
for such matters invariably take shape
after Congress has assembled. He ex-
poets, however. that revenue reduction,
reciprocity, ship subsidies and the other
matters which have been generally dis
cussed will come up for consideration.
Mr.. Plat believes that Congress should
proceed with great deliberation in regard
TO reciprocity conventions, for II Is very
difhcult to estimate the results of these
He cited a al example the
pending French treaty, which was opposed
by Sen ators from New England. New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, California and other States
during the last Congress. No estimate
of results which would follow the ratih-
cation OF this treaty has ever been pre-
sented, and IL has not been clearly shown
that the benefits 20 be derived by the two
countries would be anywhere near equal.

the United States Marshals for several days,
growing out OF raids. A great deal OF
moonshining and some counterfeiting is
carried on in Leshorungs and llawamba
counties. A force OF men were sent out
TO break up the illicit business.
The moonshiners are especially strong
around Delay. and when a force Of Mar
shals, headed by Hamlin and Long, raidcd

moonshiners and made to march in other
directions at the point of the pistol, and

returned. Nevertheless a party returned
under Jasper +. Butler on Nov. 10. They
ran across several Illicit stills, which they
destroyed, near Ped Bay. They came
across five moonshiners at work in their
distilling and called upon them to throw
up their hands.
The moonshincrs grabbed their guns
returned the fire, killing one OF the moon
sinners, who was not identified. The other
moonshiners escaped and the stills were
DESTROYED. Since the death of the noon
sinner his comrades have threatened ven-
geance. The Mont gomerys left Oxford on
Saturday TO arrest one Of the moonshiners
named Will Mathis. They did not return.

house burnt to the ground and the burned
bodies of the two dead men in the ruins.

counterfeit money and was out on bail.
The principal witness against him was
