 When Lucky learned that his chances of winning the hand of Miss Welsh had vanished he demanded back the money he had paid a surgeon to repair the damage he had inflicted upon her foot. Not only did he obtain judgment. but the marshal attempted to levy up- on the piano at Mrs. Welsh's home. No. 56 West Thirty-sixth Street, and was prevented from carrying out his plan only by the afrival of Mrs. Welsh's at- torney.
 Yesterday the case was re-opened. and after judgment was set aside, Mrs. Welsh paid the doctors bill, which Lucky had paid originally, she says. over her objections. and the incident is considered closed.
 Mrs. Welsh. who Is an artist of some repute, comes from Williamstown, near Lexington, where her family has long been famed for the beauty of its girls. She is tall, statuesque. of the blonde type, and her daughters-she has two resemble her greatly. The two girls for several years had been attending school in Kentucky. Last summer Ad- cline was visiting relatives in Will liamstown and was ardently courted by Lucky. who 's a poet when not run ming the general store.
 One night while at a party Lucky brought the heel of his shoe down on

Miss welshs toe. Now. this toe had long been a tender point with the young woman and at the moment of contact she promptly tainted. She was ta ken home and Dr. Menefee, the vile lage surgeon. feared that blood poison- ing would set in. Lucky was distract- ed and outdid himself in providing for the patients comfort. When she was able to walk he sent her the incest pair of soft slippers he could find. but at her next dance she found greater pleas- ure in the partnership of other men.
 This hurt Lucky, particularly as he had insisted on meeting the doctors charges for the amputation of the toe, although Mrs. Welsh had written to have the bill sent to her. When she returned to New York he began suit before Judge Tierney in the Bronx, for ths physicians bill, plus the cost of the slippers.
 Mrs. Welsh failed to answer the suns- mons, and the case went by default, When she learned the real meaning of the action, however. she hastened to employ the services of James E. Graybill. Yesterday she laid before the court letter from Dr. Menefee, show ing that his charges had been only sae. Instead of the $50 specified by Lucky. It Is thought that the plaiutinf had cone stdered the additional $50 as being ln a nature of compensating damagea

 The prisoner fought his guards and finally gained his liberty and was not molested afterwards, although he always kept watch. These men, assert W. J. Andrews appeared to be after his fathers money and property and he says he heard of threats they had made against him. MT. Andrews further says he received several tele- grams from his brothers before and sftar the tragedy informing him of his fathers danger. He said he had inc ssurance of his brothers that they would protect him.
 MT. Andrews says he has not been well informed about his fathers private affairs otherwise, but he knows that he was at peace with his brothers. He denied the reports that his father had been married more than twice, but ad- mitted that he had had difnculty with his second wife and with other men about her. He scouts the theory that family troubles led to the double mur- der and declares 1t is his belief that his fathers enemies killed him and his wife that they might have access to his property and money and at the same time shift the suspicion on the sons.
 Mir. Andrews is in Camden today and he intends to exert every effort to lib- crate his brothers. He declares he will do all in his power to get at the truth of the mystery.

 Big toes are usually small factors in most love affairs. but the one that be- loneed to Miss Adeline Welsh had a large part in shattering the romance of Robert Lucky. who lives in Ken lucky, for his clumsiness, which cost the young woman her toe, cost him her heart And 1t cost her mother about $50 yesterday in settlement of court case. to which this tangled tale of woe about a heart and a toe, led.

 Selma. Dec. 24.
 Sensational developments are prom ised when the Andrews murder case is tried in Camden, Wilcox County. W. J. Andrews. a son of James Andrews, the murdered man and brother of the two men who are in the Camden jail accused of the murder, will probably try to prove that a conspiracy against the life of his father was formed by residents of the vicinity of McWilliams including one or two officers of the law. T am almost convinced" said An drews, that the murder was commit tod by men who are in good standing in that community and if I can secure the evidence l expect will cause the release of my brothers"
 MT. Andrews who passed through Selma en route to Camden Is a citizen of Laurel, Miss. He hasn't lived in Alabama in a number of years, but he says he knows his father had numer- ous enemies in McWilliams, and that the old IT an was fearful that his life would be taken.
 According to MT. Andrews his father recently made a trip to Selma in com pany with a daughter who went from Selma to Laurel. To protect him. John Andrews, the eldest of the sons. and who Is now In the Camden 1ail came with his father. On the verge of his daughters departure from Selma the deceased is said to have made the statement to her that he knew of a conspiracy against his life and that he expected to be killed any time, probably before he arrived at his home
 He intimated, said the daughter, that he feared men in McWilliams with whom he had had trouble. Miss An drews said her father wasn't greatly excited, but appeared to be laboring under an intense nervous strain.
 The son and brother who accom- panied the two to Selma was placed in the confidence of his father at this time, says MT. Andrews, and he solemn ly promised the old man that he would stay with him and defend him.
 To his daughter and son the senior Andrews mentioned the names of George Wright and one Hunter, of Mo- williams. What connection W. J. An- drews believes these men have with the double crime he does not say, but he declares 1t is belief that these and other citizens of Mcwflliams are im- plicated.
 1t appears from the conversation of MT. Andrews. of Laurel. that his father was arrested sometime ago by Wright Hunter and others for nrinR his pistol,

It appears that Singer has a mania

It appears that Singer has mania for stealing. His employers suspected him long ago and once or twice caught him in the ect of taking small things, until the other day when he suddenly took his leave and later showed up at the city jail in company with officers and a big load of perfumes. knives. razors and medicines in his possession.
 He admitted his guilt and failed to impress the court sufficiently to get mercy.
 Alex Ross, a negro, must serve the same term of punishment for picking pockets and misrepresenting himself to the court. He took advantage of the crowds on the streets Thursday. ac- cording to evidence. and took $S from the pocket of a negress from the coun- try.
 The police suspect that in John Hem ry they have a fugitive from justice. He is being held pending an investiga- tion into his character. Henry was found sleeping in a freight car. There are numerous blood stains on his cloth Ing. and 1t Is probable that he will have to explain to the satisfaction of the po- lice how they got there.

 ropes of smilax while from the center of the ceiling was suspended an enor- nous Christmas bell with a clapper of mistletoe, and streamers of red and white gracefully fell from the bell to the columns and were fastened there with red bows.

Stole Christmas Cakes.


 A number of Selma housekeepers had to get busy baking cakes today. Those who had placed orders with the John- son bakery were disappointed at the eleventh hour. A thief stole away in the night with the biggest and best cakes the baker had. Some he had pre- pared especially for pretentious tables.
 The thief or thieves were the boldest known to the police in this city in a long Rme. After breaking the side glass door on one of the most promi- nent corners of the city they went so far as to turn on the lights and worked in full view of Broad Street and the Albert Hotel They were very particu- lar says MT Johnson. The very cakes that he had baked and sold that day were the ones the intruders took. One would have retailed today at nearly S5, while the total extent of the theft was $25.
 This morning the crumbs and frag- ments of the feast were found in a yard not distant from the bakery. The po- lice were notified but so far no arrests have been made.
 The establishment belongs to J. H. Johnson, who several years ago con- ducted a bakery in Montgomery.
 Altogether nearly 100 pounds of cakes were taken.

Last Attack on Port Arthur Runaored
 Capture of Torpedo Boats.

London, Feb. 23.-The Nagasaki cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph cabling under date of February 9. re- norts that the Japanese squadron has captured four Russian torpedo boats at Port Arthur by using Russian signals This dispatch appears to confirm re. ports from various quarters of a fresh attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese The report reached Nagasaki from Che Foo and adds that the Russian crews of the four torpedo boats have been transferred.
 No ether news of this attack has been received in London. but the Che Foo correspondent of the Morning Post, in a dispatch dated February 22, says the statement is current there that the JaY- anese torpedo boat destroyers in the attack on Port Arthur on February 14 sank or damag ged two Russian battle ships in addition to the torpedo boat already reported. It is possible. there fore, that the report of the Telegraph s Nagasaki correspondent also refers to the earlier attack
 Viceroy Alexieffs retirement to Hfr- bin is now an accomplished fact. and a correspondent of the Associated Press cables that Port Arthur is now strictly a naval stronghold and the forts are being manned by naval gunners Only twenty foreigners are now at Port Ar
