KILLING STAGE.
Has Been Reached in the Row over
Election Frauds in New York

New York, Nov. 23.-Election
frauds are believed by the police to
have caused the murder last night of
w. F. Harrington in the Little Naples
dance hall and also the probable fatal
injury of Abraham Juckerman, who
was found with a fractured skull some
distance away form the Little Naples.
The dance hall is at F'ifty-seventh
and Great Jones street and is con
Quoted by Paul Kelly, leader of an
east side gang From papers found on
the dead man and from information
obtained from nine prisoners, two of
whom were arrested after the murder,
the police learned that the quarrel
started over election matters. One of
the prisoners had a marked ballot for
the last election in his pocket.
Harrington was killed in the bar
room OF the Little Naples during a re-
volver battle which left the floors
| spotted with blood and riddled the
/ pictures on the wall. Bartender Ber-
nard EscOtte, one of those under ar
4 rest, said that the fight started VIII en-
-four members of the Liberty associa-
sion which is hostile to the Kelly
King, entered the room after midnight
a y e of these men, Escotte says, i'm
edlately ordered drinks for the
nOle crowd. When every one was
drinking, he insolently pounded with
his fist on the bar and exclaimed.
My best friend was shot here
Tuesday morning. Are there any OF
you here who know how to shoot? i
you do I'd like to have you to begin
The challenge was accepted and il
the battle which followed the police
say that fifty shots were fired. WheT
the officers arrived Harrington was
dead on the floor and all the others
including the wounded in the dance
hall, had fed after turning out the
lights. The dead mans dog was
found crouched over his masters body
and whining.
The police say that the friend of the
Liberty gang whose name was made
the pretext for the fight was JohT
Rata, who was wounded at the Little
Naples last Tuesday morning The
police also believe that a quarrel ovel
the division of election money was the
original cause of the fight.

From town near Erfurt in Germany
comes this tale of a wise woman" an
ignorant farmer and an imitation
Beelzebub. The wise woman" lives at
Langensalza and claims to have the
power to cast out evil spirits. A farmer
and his family who had for some time
been troubled by evil dreams and
harassed by various minor misfortunes
came. to the conclusion that satan had
his hand in their affairs, so they con-
suited the wise woman" She pre-
scribed that the family should go to a
certain spot among the neighboring
hills, where they were to bury a new
earthen pot containing several gold
coins. The devil, attracted by the
money, would empty the pot and leave
the family in peace.
A novelty was introduced by the
wise woman" into the program. This
was the letting off of fireworks from
the spot where the money was buried
as soon as the duped family had re-
tired on their way home. These satanic
pyrotechnics were managed by an ac-
complice, but the wise woman ex-
planned to the farmer that they were
caused by BeeIzebub's departure with
mammon.
But these offerings to the evil one
brought no relief, although the sums in
the earthen pot went on increasing.
Light at last daWned on the farmer.
He put the matter - the hands of the
police. His payments to procure re-
lease from satan's attentions amounted
to $1,000 marks (s1s,s00).

Mr. Choate was in his best mood, -
