GILLEITE'S EXPERIENCE.
Went Hunting and Got Lost in tha
 1l5 Wolcott Woods.

William M. Gillette, assistant clerb of the district court, left on his mid- winter vacation yesterday and re- turned this morning, having undergone more excitement in that period than will keep in food for stories for the rest of the winter. He was driving to New Haven and having plenty of time he chose a roundabout way by Wolcott. There he was induced to join in fox hunt with few friends. As usual the hunters were on a warm trail. MT Gillette accepted the invi- tation; he is always ready for fun. He is not aware that the hunt is over yet. but he had enough of it when he found himself evidently lost in the woods about o'clock this morning with no sound or sign within hearing or sight with which to guide him to some place of shelter. For hours he rambled the bleak, wind-swept wastes of snow covered fields until about o'clock the sound of q wagon guided him to a barn miles away from Wolcott. He was in Brooksdale, little place be- yond Prospect. He came home in his own wagon and for the present he has given up all thoughts of taking the rest of his mid-winter vacation,

srAGB BLOW FLOORS ACTRESS.
"villain" With Indian War Club h.
 inres Miss Oyerton's Spine.

II
 Mount Vernon, N. Y., Jan 3.-Miss Bessie Overton, who is playing the part of Paul in ssThe Octoroon" at the opera house in this city, was badly hurt Wednesday night while on the stage. In the second act the villain is supposed to kill Paul by striking him on the head with an Indian war club. Eugene Ordway, who plays the part of the villain, struck a blow which he gauged to fall just behind Miss Over toms head, but he miscalculated, and the club hit Miss Overton with a thud that was heard all over the theater.
 The girl fell and the audience broke into applause at what they supposed was her realistic acting. For several minutes Miss Overton lay on the stage before anyone realized that she was hurt Then the curtain was rung down. At the close of the perform ance Miss Overton was taken to the home of Dr George c. Weiss in car riage. where it was found that the blow had injured her spine and that she might be permanently incapaci- tated. The actor who struck Miss Oy- erton is overcome with grief.

OHIO POLITICS VERY WARM
The Friends of Hanna and
 Foraker Are Active To-day.

Caucuses Will be Held Tomorrow
 Both Factions Are Working With
 Might and Main to Get Control of
 the Legislative Offices-Lines Not
 Closely Drawn as to the Candidates
 of Hanna and Foraker.
 Columbus, O., Jan 3.-The members of the Ohio legislature, as we'll as the candidates for executive positions, are all here to-day, participating in the contest previous to the caucuses to- morrow evening, when nominations are to be made for the organization of the legislature on Monday. But the wires are still kept busy between re publican leaders and Senators ForakeI in Cincinnati and Hanna i'll Wash ington. While both Ohio senators have become directly involved in the contest through the direct interest of their re spective followers, it developed to-day that the lines are not strictly drawn between their friends. Many members concur with George B. Cox of Cincin- nati in stating that this fight is not one for the supremacy of either For aker or Hanna in Ohio, and that they are on equally cordial relations with both senator's Some of Hanna's clos est friends are for Brice and some of Foraker's for McKinnon for speaker for personal, local or other than fac tional reasons.
 The lines are much more distinctly drawn between what are known as the Cox men and the Daugherty men. Two years ago ex-Representatiye Har- ry NJ. Daugherty was defeated for the gubernatorial nomination by Governor Nash. In that contest Cox threw his whole strength to Nash, as he is now doing for Price McKinnon was a Daugherty man then and leader in the last legislature, which was con- trolled in it's organization by the Daugherty men.
 { Cox, is now supporting Price for speaker, says he was pledged to him before the present complication arose. While Cox is freindly with both sena- tofs, Daugherty is an ayowed oppo- nent of both, and the local feature of the contest is the fact that Hanna and Daugherty are for the same man for speaker. The entanglement goes still further with some in talking about Foraxer and Cox being for the same man for speaker And the crossing of wires extends to ex-Governor Foster, ex- Governor Bushnell, ex-State Chair man Kurtz and others who are now cooperating with those from whom they are said to have been estranged in late years.
 Ignoring the Daugherty element en- tirely Cox endeavored originally to have an agreement among the leaders and found no opposition to Price for speaker. After Cox had committed himself he says the Hanna men said Price would not do. Referring to his original canvassing and the present complications, Cox says he found Sen ator Foraker at first friendly to Me Kinnon. although not pledged and Sen ator Hanna favorable to Price, and at the time that he committed himseli both of the senators approved of Price for speaker. MT Cox insists that the present entanglements are temporary only and will have no bearning on fu- tUre politics of the state.

NEW EMBALM|NG FLUID.
It Will Preserve the Subject
 For All Time

Memphis Medical College Now Experi- menting With It-Tried It on a Dog
 and It Seems to Work to Perfection
 The Fluid Petriffes the Body-No
 Strychnine or Arsenic Used.
 Memphis, Tenn, Jan 3.-The Mem phis Medicala college has for several weeks been experimenting with an embalming fluid for which great pos abilities are predicted. It is asserted this discovery is superior to the enI- balming preparations used by the Egyptians, for while the infusion will preserve the subject for all time, hu- namely speaking, as did that of the alcients, it prevents the shriveling up that was inseparable from the Egyp- tian embalming, and it does not call for the swaths and bandages in which all Egyptian mummies were encased
 The principal experiment up to this tine has been the body of q dog, which was treated 30 days ago. To- day it looks as natural as ever. 1t Is rigid, but in perfectly natural pose There is no trace of odor about it, nor is there any visible symptom of decay.
 Tests of the fluid have been made by the demonstrator of anatomy at the Memphis college, and he is so well convinced of its practical utility that he will use it for the preservation of all the cadavers used ill the college.
 The fluid petrifies the body. Neither arsenic nor strychnine is used in the preparation.

 self.
 New York, Jan 3.-Nothing could be more interesting or instructive as an indication of the attitude of the Ma tionafist party at the next session of parliament than John Redmond'S s speech at Sligo, cables the London representative of the Tribune. The Irish leader devoted some of the choicest flowers of his rhetoric to de- scribe those liberals who, like Lord Rosebery, are a little tired of the Irish alliance. The nationaliStS have re- ceived an intimation that the alliance is to be thrown over with scarcely yelled contempt, and Redmond advises Lord Rosebery to rally round him ''all those rotten members of the liberal party who called themselves liberal imperialists.' Apparently the mean ing of all this is that the Irish party will again carry. out policy adopted by Parnell when Gladstone was CO., ercing Ireland, and will fight for home rule without the slightest regard for the feelings of their former English allies.
