A Trunk Mystery.

A day or two ago large trunk was
sent from New York to Orange via the
Southern Railway and was duly delivered
at that point. No one, it is said. called
for it and it remained at the station
until early last night when stencil
emanated from the receptacle which be-
came unbearable. The trunk was lariat-
ed with ropes, and no one in the depot
was disposed to open it. 1t was there
fore suggested that the county coroner
be summoned. People who brought
this much of the story to this city boarded
north bound train which stopped at
Orange before the coroner arrived; hence
they are ignorant OF the contents OF the
trunk. The railroad officials at the
depot in this city we're unable to give
any information concerning the matter
when interviewed this morning.

TO SUE SENATOR PLATT.

Miss Mae c. Wood, formerly Of
Washington. has retained o. Flaherty &
Fulton. of Richmond aud Front Royal,
To represent her in suit which she in
tends to bring against Hon. Thomas @.
Platt, senior Senator from New York,
ior alleged breach of promise of marriage.
1t is further stated that Miss Wood
expects to institute suit against certain
New York lawyers, and possibly against
some government officials, names not
given, alleging conspiracy when threats
of suit against Mr.. Plat were made by
her some time ago on the occasion of the
announcement of his engagement to
lady other than herself.
Messrs. Flaherty & Fulton have in
their possession number Of documents
bearing on the case in the shape OF let
tiers to Miss Wood, alleged to have been
written by Senator Plat and signed st.
C. Platt." ct. G. p" or simply "P. 7"
They are said to be full OF terms of the
most endeariug kind. They are also
said to have evidence of many gifts from
Senator Ptatt to Mics Wood.
While the local firm of lawyers Is not
in position 10 discuss the case, il is
known that they have been ia COM
municatien with counsel for Mr.. Plat
and that they have also received letter
from him.
The contemplated suit for conspiracy
against New York lawyers and govern
ment officials is said to be the most ZEN
sational feature OF the affair. This
will probably not be instituted if the
contemplated suit against Mr. Platt
is not brought, and it is said that there
is likelihood Of its being settled out OF
court.
Discussing the matter yesterday, Mr..
O'Faherty said
"When the trouble between Miss
Wood and Senator Plat was first patched
up, it was with the understanding that
/ Miss Wood was to return to her position
in the Postofice Department, but fol
lowing close upon the settlement she was
dismissed.
'I became acquainted with Miss Woo
| 10 Washington many ysarsago. She wal
received into the best of society. At tina
time it was known that Mr.. Plat wa
paving her attention. She is an intelll'
gent woman, is a graduate of law ant
has travelled extensively"

YU JITSU USED
TO ROB STRANGER
Norman Davenport, Recent Arrival
Has Peculiar Mixup With Jap
aneSe Hold

from in the evening, after arriving bs
fore noon, are few of the questions
that help puzzle the officers. They are
all pertinent to the facts, and had Dav-
enport taken any Of the plans sug'
gested, he would have some chance to
recover his money, or at least have the
guilty parties brought to justice. But
he was certainly very slack and care
less in dealing with strangers in a
strange town, and, as the case rests,
there will be a divergence of opinion as
to the cause of the trouble
1t is limited that a wrestling match
took place somewhere in town, and
that Davenport was one Of the partici-
pants. He is a physical director, and
has quite reputation, according to
is own story, of being able to handle
an opponent in almost any old way.
He himself is an instructor and firm
believer in jiu iitsu. boxing and body
development. The queer coincidence is
that he should fall a victim to one of
these methods in town not particular
ly noted for science physical.
1t is said that Davenport rented
room at local lodging house yester-
day afternoon. and had his valise in the
room, but careful inquiry at the various
rooming places did not bear out the
statement. A report that he was ac-
companied by a woman also seems to
have little foundation, as he spent most
Of the afternoon with Mr.. Conner at
the hotel, talking over the proposed
bath parlOrs.
From confidential source it isl
learned that Davenport recently was
in Coos bay, and at different times had
been with travelling troupes. 1t is
stated that he was with the Fischer
company recently with a moving-pic-
.ure outfit. Ue was a student of H. NJ
director of the San Francisco
7. NJ. c.. A., and had quite an acquaint-
'nce on the California coast, arriving
rom the south on recent steamer to
Portland.
