NEGROES Not Wanted.

A year ago white man was killed
by negro in Linton, Ind. Since
that time no negroes have been al
lowed in Linton. On Monday the
Wallace circus was billed in that
town and the management was warn
ed in advance that the 65 negroes
connected with the show should not
be brought to Linton, so the negroes
were taken to a town six miles south
of Clinton and left while the circus
went on. A crowd met the train
and several hundred men inspected
the outfit to see that there were no
negroes along. Special coaches we're
sent for the negroes left behind and
this train was run up to Linton at
night when the circus was ready to
leave, and as the train passed through
the town the negroes crouched down
behind the seats to avoid danger.

indianapolis, Oct. 12.-The most bit
ter local campaign ever conducted in
this city has closed with largely at
tended meetings in the interest of the
three leading candidates. The betting
is an unusual feature of the closing
days, and it is estimated that fully
100000 is wagered on tomorrow's
result. The smaller bets have been,
as Il rule, on basis of , to l in fa-
yor of Mayor Bookwalter. but the odds
on larger bets were TO D and in
few cases even bets have been made
that BO0kwalter will have 1000 ma
jOrity.
y peculiar condition of the campaign
is that many of the .hest-known Re
publicans i'll the city are opposed to
Mayor Bookwalter, the party nominee,
and many Democrats are opposed to
Hoffman, the Democratic candidate.
The indications point to a heavy Demo-
cratic vote for RoOkwalter, and heav-
ier Republican vote for Hoffman. Geo.

BALL PLAYER MAD.
ed Doheny, League Pitcher, Near
Iy Kills His Nurse with an
Iron Poker.
ORDERS THE DOCTOR TO LEAVE
Him by FOrce-Keeps Crowd
at Bay.

Andover, Mass, Oct. 12-After fell
ing his nurse with a terrific blow over
the head with a stove poker, Edward
Doheny, the Pittsburg National League
base ball pitcher. for more than an
hour, armed with the same weapon
held score of neighbOrs and sever
al policemen at bay. Finally he was
overpowered, and after an eXamina-
ton by two physicians was adjudSed
insane and committed to the asylum
at Danvers. The nurse, Oberlin How
arth, is seriously hurt, but it is be-
lieved he will recover. DOheny first
showed signs of insanity several weeks
ago when he suddenly deserted the
PittSburg club in an Ohio city while
Iaboring under the delusiOn that he
was being pursued by detectives.
He Elects His Physician.
After Il few weeks rest at his home
here he rejoined the team. but did not
regain his old form. When he returned
home at the end of the season Doheny
was a nervous wreck and since that
time has been constantly under the
care of a physician. When DIR. Con-
roy called at the house Saturday Do
heny informed him that he did not
need his attentions any longer. and
insisted that the daily calls be discon-
tinued. At first DR.. COnroy looked up
on the matter as joke, but Doheny
proved that he was in earnest by eject
ing the physician from the house by
force. and warning him not to return.
Howarth was then engaged to give
constant attention to the case, and dur
ing the evening the patient was quiet
ed and slept peacefully all night.
His Assault on His Nurse.
While HowarthS attention was mo-
mentarily attracted in another direc-
tion Doheny sprang from the bed, and
seizing Il stove poker struck right and
left. His wife hurried to the neighbors
for assistance. When they returned
Doheny, dressed only in his night
clothing. stood at the open door of the
house with the iron poker and defed
them to take him. threatening to kill
the first man who made the attempt.
For more than an hour the madman
held the crowd at bay, but finally
Chief of Police Frey and Policeman
Mills caught him off his guard and
oyerpOwered him.

BREAKS HOUSE
WHILE INSANE
f =tired New Jersey HoteIkeeper
Fatally Shot by a
NeighbOr.

Trenton, n. J., Oct. u. - Henry
Brown, retired hotelkeeper and man
of considerable means, was mistaken
for n burglar and shot by Peter Kotz,
into whose house Brown had forced
an entrance. Brown was shot twice
in the head, and his physicians have
no hope of his recovery. Browns act
in breaking into Kotz' house is unex-
plainable, except on the ground of in
sanity. Brown was acting strangely
in the early part of the evening aud
it is said to have been drinking quite
heavily. KOtz lives in a suburb re-
mote from Browns home, and the two
men and their families We're entirely
unacquainted.
About 3 Il. m. Kctz heard a noise
down stairs and getting mis- revolver
went down to the drawing room, fol-
lowed by his wife carrying a dim light.
Kotz demanded to know who Brown
was and what he wanted. Brown
made no answer, but instead walked
toward KOtZ. who, thinking Brown
was a burglar, and fearing for his
own life. fired two shots, Brown fell
with the second shot, and has re-
mained unconscious since. Kotz i'm
mediately gave himself up to the po-
lice, and is still under arrest. Brown
was taken to st. Frances hospital. His
unconscious condition permits of no
explanation of his conduct, but the sup
position is that in his bewildered con-
dition he thought ne was getting into
his own home. He made his entry
through Il window.

Easton. Pa, Oct. 12.-The Delaware
river began to recede about midnight
and continues to fall rapidly. The
Lehigh and the Bushkill are still
backed up for miles, and everything
along their banks is flooded. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the loss, or even
approximate it, but in Easton/ and
towns up and down the Delaware, it
will take millions to replace bridges
and repair the damage. Only one
bridge from the headwaters of the

that is an old covered structure at

merged. also the gas and electric light
and power plant The light station
is the only one in operation.
Trenton, y. j., Oct. 12.-The extent
of damages done by the flood in this
section is now beginning to be fully
realized. At least six and possibly all
nine of the wagon and foot bridges
across the Delaware river between this
city and Easton, Pa, have been car
ried away The railway tracks along
the river between this city and Bor-
dentown are submerged at points to
depth of three feet and it is not consid-
cred safe to run trains until the wat

discovered and repaired. The Delaware

er both are reported 10 have several
breaks in their banks at different
points.
