SUFFOLK, Va, October IA some

withdrawal OF Joseph N. Musgrave and

and the final election of DR.. w. B. Bar

thirteen for DR.. Benjamin r. Bryant,
former Assembly delegate.
Z On September 18th. Musgrave and
Moyler received thirteen votes each for
the chairmanshp, and retiring Chairman
j. Peter Holland voted for Musgrave,. A
storm Of protest was raised by those who
questioned the legality of Hollands voto.
State Chairman Ellyson temporarily re-
cognized Musgrave as chairman. but de-
cided that MI. Holland had no right to
cast the deciding vote.
Settled BY Friends.
To day three friends of each candidate
after consu tation, recommended that
both be Withdrawn, and that Reuben n.
Musgrave, brother of Joe, call the
meeting 10 order.
Joe Nlusgrave referred the recommended
tion to the thirteen who recently sup
ported him, and two other of his friends
who We're not present, September 29th
These had long caucus and advised the
substitution of a new candidate. They
agreed to support DR.. 3arham, Mus

the committee, Mr., Musgrave claimed
that he was chairman defacto. and could
hold the position In spite Of everybody,
unless impcached or ousted by the State
Committee but through advice of friends
he would yield for harmony's sake.
DR.. Barham was elected by Musgrave's

GHOST OF SLIPPERY
DICK JUGGLES HEAD
This Wrath Appears With His. Top
Piece In His Hands

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE ghost of
Connolly's leap is abroad again, and ev-
cry other night of late it has been walk
ing the floors and slamming the shutters
OF the mansion in North avenue, over
looking the Hudson, where slippery
Dick Connolly, controller in TWeed's
time, entertained with the layishness of
the Oriental princes of childhood stories.
The ghost first made its appearance short
ly after Slippery Dick and his brother,
who built the house on the leap, died in
France, where they had fled to escape
punishment for their part In the Tweed
orgy of loot. 1t has come back again at
intervals of two or three years ever since
then.
There are some in the neighborhood
who say that it is the wrath of Slip
perry Dick" but there are others full of
the lore of the region where Washington
met the British and Hessians-old Fort
Washington is just back of the leap-who
say that it is the ghost of a Hessian off,
Ger, who rides in dark hours, with his
head in his hands like the pateless knight
of the 'Ingoldsby legends
But why a Hessian with his head off
should be galloping up and down from the
Hudson, and why, if he has to gallop, he
should take delight at dead of night in
slamming the shutters of the Connolly
house, where Howard B. Moore, an artist,
and his family are now living, is some
thing that the story teller and the Moores
are unable to explain. And again, it is
not just clear why Slippery Dick"
should go stamping through the great
rooms where he once set his bountiful
board.
Sure, he had an elegant time while 1t
lasted, said policeman, who pointed out
the way to the leap today. Slippery
Dick ought to stay where the Frenchman
laid him. I'd be willin' to stay down for
ever for the times he had

MAN FRENZIED WITH
LOVE RUNS AMUCK
Tilted by His Sweetheart He Slabs Three
Of His Friends

NE WYORK. jan, 9. = Because his
sweetheart in italy had grown tired of
waiting for him, and had fitted him, Sal
vatore Borono ran amuck early today,
stabbing three compatriots who lived with
him at 226 East Twenty-ninth street
Il Borono left Naples ten months ago. with
the understanding that his sweetheart
was to wait until ne could save money
enough to send for her.
Three days ago he received letter
telling him that the girl had married an,
other man. First he was melancholy, and
then his mood changed, until he flew into
rage with any Of his friends at the
slightest trifie.
Last night Borono was apparently seized
with murderous fury. He aroused Ben
edic Beieno, who was sleeping beside him,
and after some furious reproaches, which
Beleno could not comprehend, Borono at
tackled him with q dagger.
Beleno was stabbed three times In the
back, and his cries awoke his companions,
Filipo Ribano and Joseph Sabine The
four men struggled in the dark Borono
cut his friends whenever he could get his
dagger free. Before the friends could
take the weapon from Borono Sabine was
stabbed in the cheek and Beleno's hand
was severely cut.
Z At last Sabine got possession of the
dagger and one of the others ran out for a
policeman. He returned with Policeman
Shea of the East Thirty-fifth street sta
ton. but Borono had escaped from the
other two men and disappeared In the
darkness.
