AGAINST CONSOLIDATION.
Adjt. Cole Opposes it--End of Wo-
 mans COnvention--Visitor
Especial to Democrat.l !

,, .A H\op~SA0a lO DS1uOSEdI.B
 < Washington, Feb 2O.-Adiutant General Cole of Connecticut has, sent to the members of the Connecticut delegation a protest against tha bill to consolidate the officers of the ad. Jutant generals department except the adjutant general. and the officers of the record and pension office, into one bureau to be known as the mli- tafy secretary's department. The Dill aims to promote General Aims worth, of the record and pension of- hce. to the head of this bureau, and the principal objection to the bill comes from the fact that General AlnsWorth is not trained soldieri The regular army officers as well as the heads of the militia service in the various states object to having anyone but a trained soldier at the head of the adjutant generals office
 The ladies who for the past week have been in the city attending the meetings of the Women's Suffrage association. left for home last night and to-day. The Connecticut dele gates expressed themselves as much pleased with the work of the conven- tion. Mrs Bacon. who acted as the proxy of Mrs Isabella Beecher Hook CT of Hartford, was the most promin- ent delegate from Connecticut and had considerable to do with the work Of the convention. The ladies had d hearing before the Judiciary com mittee of tho house and stated their claims fully to the committee There was tendency on the part of the committee, however, to belittle these claims and the case of Con- gressman ,Shafroth. who resigned from the. house. formed the basis of claims. that the women were not competent to use the ballot. It Is reported here that most of the fraud uient ballots in the Shafroth case were cast by women, and this was brought out in the hearing. The la dies denied this, but the committee seemed to be impressed with the fact that Colorado being the only state in the union where tANomen are given the full use of the ballot had been shown to, be tainted ,, with great election frauds

SIXTEEN WERE SHOT
Fatal Poolroom Raid at Mad
 ison. Ill.
FIFTY CITIZENS USE SHOTCUNS
After Grand Jury Failed to Indict People Took the Law Into Their Own Hands In am Endeav0 to
 Close Out Gamblers.

1AuSU ~W& ~&&MAWGCEBs
 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.--It ts just re- ported that in raid on poolroom at Madison, H., sixteen persons have been shot, two fatally. Fifty or more citizens of Madison, armed with shot guns, left the main part of the town few minutes before o'clock for the Madison pooiroom.
 The raid was an effort to close up a poolroom that has for 8 long time op- erated in the outskirts of Madison, H., across the river from St Louis. Three constables, augmented by a posse of citizens and bearing warrants for the arrest of six men connected with the poolroom. precipitated the riot, which resulted in the shooting of seven men. Two may die.
 Lee Harlan. druggist, and Patrick ed probably mortally.
 After the failure of the Madison county grand jury, which recently tn- vestigated the poolroom, to return in dictments citizens took the matter in hand, with the intention of having the poolroom closed. Several days ago warrants were issued for State Sena- tor David Nelson of Missouri, charging him with being pool seller, and Vic tor Schuler, charging him with con ducting the poolroom and being GUS todian of the funds. Schuler was ar rested and gave bond of $500 pending hearing.
 The additional warrants were sworn out and three constables appeared at the poolroom to serve them. Two po- licemen were within and declared they had arrested the operators of the pool room and were guarding them. Bet ting was going on as usual at the time. The constables were ordered to leave the premises, which they did after ar gument. Proceeding through the neigh borhood for the next half hour, the constables organized a posse of armed citizens numbering about fifty persons. The constables and posse then return ed to the poolroom and entered. They were at once ordered out, and the doors were ordered locked. The posse de- murred, and words followed. One pos seman, 1t is stated, pointed a shotgun at Policeman McCambridge, who fired a revolver into the ceiling. Firing then became general. The policeman was shot through the body. Al '
 The crowd in the poolroom scattered hurriedly, many fleeing into waiting Illinois Central train until it became packed. When the fusillade was over. the constables and posse had posses sion. The bookmakers, however, as- sert that the poolroom will be open as usual today. Although the poolroom men are now constructively under ar rest, the police say they will not per- init the citizens to interfere.
 Warrants were sworn out before Jus tice of the Peace Isenmeyer of Granite City. adjoining Madison, for the arrest of Whitfield Brooks and Eugene Wall of Granite City and Thomas Riley. Charles Greenfield, Thomas Manley and Martin Johns of St. Louis, charg- ing them with being connected with the trouble.

Bathing In 1ce-cold Water.

Prof. sugarman. of Little Falls. who began taking daily winter baths in the Mohawk river several years ago, is still at it. He has not missed day
 this winter, despite the fact that the temperature the last week ranged from IS to 30 degrees below zero. Whether or not he has been benefited, the fact remains that Prof. Sugarman Is a fne- looking specimen of the healthy man. Since he began taking these arctic plunges he says that he is no longer troubled by colds in the head or by catarrh. At times he has been obliged to cut the ice to get into the water. All winter he wears summer clothing. disdaining muflers and overcoats, and seems. to thrive on exposure to cold that would immediately kill an average man-r~Ns \, Commercial.

Bad wreck In Enmara Yards.

c' ELMIRA, N. Y.,Feb. 20.--With fast eastbound freight train standing on the track just north of the Erie depot in this city the tower man gave another eastbound freight a clear block. A binding snowstorm and steam from other engines in the yard prevented the engineer of the incoming freight from seeing the other train standing on the track, and a rear end collision resulted. Seven cars were hurled from the track, the engineer of the moving train, Jacob Elston of this city, being badly injured. He was removed to the hospital and will probably recover. Fireman Jones went under his engine, and the body was crushed into an un- recognizable mass. The caboose of the standing train was entirely demolish- ed, but no one was in 1t.

WHY GIRLS LEAVE HoMB."

This hovel melodrama will have two performances at Polls Monday after moon and evening, and should prove Ia splendid holiday attraction. The play Is by Bred Summerfeld, and the story Is just simple representation of the happenings of almost every l household fortunate enough to pos sess daughter whose future is to be considered above all else. 1t is noth- ling in common with the fgments of the imaginative mind and is handled with the utmost reverence and deli cacy, dealing as 1t does with the events of the life of young girl and {. a subject so interesting to all human. 3ty. And Mir Summerfeld has haan daring in his playwriting, too. He has done something which at first blush might seem to border close to the bor- der line, but which by reason of the great delicacy with which one cer, tain scene Is handled and the deep reverence which is displayed in it's en- actment becomes most impressive situation. The play is well supplied with scenic and mechanical effects, and the cast is large and adequate sOne. Prices are popular.
