Disastrous Hand shaking.

Hopkinsville, KY. Oct. l1.-G. l..
Campbell, Republican nominee for
county court clerk in this county. is
suffering greatly from very sore
hand, which was caused in very un-
usual manner. Several days ago Mr..
Campbell scratched his hand on some
barber wire. the wound being made
on the back of the hand. Since that
time he has been vigorously prose-
cutting his campaign, and the many
hand-shakes which he has given his
constituents irritated the wound, as
it was located just right for the
thumb of the person with whom he
was shaking hands to press upon IT,
For few days it was thought that
serious consequences would result
from the inflammation, but 1t is now
beginning to give way to the rene
dies which have been applied.

MAYOR Of
DEATHH0USE

New York. Sept. .12.-Lawyer Albert t.
Patrick. who is under sentence OF death
for the murder of william Marsh Rice.
the Texas multimillionaire, is once more
the official ruler of the death house In
Sing Sing. His election as mayor OF the
Death House was held last week and the
vote cast was a solid one for the con-
lemned attorney. 4,
This is Patrick's third term as mayor
of the Death House Two months ago,
when the Court OF Appeals fixed his
day OF execution for the week
ing Aug. 7. Patrick's term as mayor OF
the Death House had expired.
There was talk about re-electing him
then. but Patrick said he was too busy
preparing his own case for a further hear
Ing before the Court OF Appeals. The
other inmates OF the gloomy place insist
Cd, however. that there should be no cleo
ton held and that Patrick should be con
sidered a holdover. Patrick agreed 10
this.
Patrick's application for a rehearing be-
fore the Court OF Appeals has acted as
q stay OF execution and his fellow con-
victs have reelected him for another
year.
There are five men under sentence or
death. Patrick has been there three
years and five months. The others are
Raffaele Gascone. sentenced 20 death
Oct. Is, 1903; Jacob Huter, sentenced May
%, 1904: Frank Furlong. upon whom SEN
tence of death was pronounced Feb. 0
OF this year. and Edward Pekraz. who
went TO Sing Sing June 2S.
AS mayor OF the Death House Patrick
must settle all disputes. All matters OF
death-house etiquette are referred 10 him.
His word is law. If, for instance. one
OF the inmates wants 10 play checkers, II
requires the unanimous consent OF all the
other inmates for the game TO proceed.
For the only way that the condemned
men can play the game is by calling off
the figures and moves on the board which
each man has in his cell.
Patrick is positive that he will be
granted a new trial, which will acquit
him.

GRIEF when
TINY BOY

Atlantic City. Sept. 12.-Joseph Egan,
Jr., a golden-haired lad of six years. who
has been one Of the wonders OF the season
because OF his skilful swimming. met a
tragic death Sunday while exploiting
baby tricks In deep water in sight of
thousands who had stopped to watch the
youngster dive and gambol In the heavy
swell.
A chorus OF screams went up when the
little fellow suddenly disappeared. Halt
q dozen ~Iife-guards manned boats and
buoys and made their way TO the spot
where the boy had last been seen. but the
ocean currents had carried the little body
away and IL was not recovered until half
an hour later, when It came up several
hundred yards below the place OF the
tragedy.
The child was the son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Egan, Philadelphians. here for the
summer He almost lived in the water
during the summer, becoming so skilful
In the sur as TO attract the wonder OF
the visitors and even the ~life-guards.
The latter, however. had for a long time
feared that the childish strength OF the
lad would not stand a sudden test. and
he had been repeatedly warned TO stay
close TO the shore both by the life-guards
and by his father. The latter was on his
way after the boy this afternoon when
news OF the drowning was carried 10 him.
He fell unconscious on the walk and was
taken TO the hospital.
The ~life-guards said hat the child had
slipped through their lines. and they had
not noticed that he was beyond the dan
Ger line until they heard the warning
screams that told OF his sinking. When
the body was recovered the crowd on the
broad walk was greatly affected. Men
wept, women became hysterical and sew

A three-year-old sister OF the boy was
burned to death a few months ago.
