A REMINDER OF BY.GONE DAYS

A lottery wheel has been resting
a a INST the Pitt street side of the Opera
House for several days. This wheel is a
relic of the past, 1t having been used IN
drawing "prizss," 10 the Montpelier lot
tery 10 sarep'a Hall in 1875. Many
Alexaudr ans purchased tickets, but, 80
far as is known, no one who held
ticket In this city or anywhere else drew
& prizs. 1t would require all the spa ;e
in this page to describe the many laugh
able scenes incident to that drawing.
Snow let the band play |" has long been
a common expression in Alexandra
During the drawing in the lottery occa-
sionplly those engaged in the procedure
would cal out, "ticket so-snd'so, one
thousand dollars" when some person
In the audience would cry out, "And
now let the band play p Bat no one
waI ever able to ascertain who held the
lucky numbers. Many Alexandriaus
who had purchased tickets In the Mont.
peier lottery never told their closest
friends of their investment, aud those
who we're known TO have invested were
easily ruled when reminded Of the fact.

BRADLEY WILL FIGHT
Charge Of Neglect Of Duty as Sheriff
At Saratoga Race Track.

Saratoga, n. y, Aug. 11.-Sherif
John Bradley Jr., against whom
charges of neglect of duty in connection
with alleged gambling on the Sarato-
ga race track have been filed. had a
conference today with Ex-State Sen
atnr Edgar r. Bracket, who he has
retained as his counsel. After the
conference Senator Bracket gave out
the following statement:
II know nothing of the facts, nothing
that has occurred on the track. because
have not been there. But if the sheriff
has honestly done his duty, on the lines
laid down in the written opinion l gave
him for his guidance, he cannot properly
he removed, nor have l any idea that he
will be, for the opinion simly stated the
law as it is, and as the courts have held
it to be. l do not believe that the gov
ernor will try to make a MARTYR of the
sheriff in order to show his own Z2al
against race track gambling. In the first
place I do not think that is either the
conception or measure of duty OF the gov.
ernor. In the next place such course is
entirely unnecessary; his zeal is pretty
we'll known already, 1 guess. l assume
that the hearing will be conducted with
the same fairness as proceeding in court
and I shall prepare for it in the same
way"

WARSHiPs BOUND EAST.
Six Of Them Now at Portsmouth, En-

Portsmouth, n H.. Aug. 1.-THE five

THAW'S BANKRUPTCY.
Proceedings May Cut OF Evelyn's
$1,000 a Month Allowance.

New York, Aug. 1l.-I.awyer Daniel
ORellly, who was one IF Harry h.
Thaws counsel during both murder trials
and who is now contemplating legal ac-
ton to prevent Thaw from continuing the
bankruptcy proceedings instituted in
Pittsburg, gave out statement today
in which he said that Thaw would be
compelled to cut off the allowance of
$1,000 a month to his wife, Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw, if he is permitted to go on with
the bankruptcy proceedings.
1T looks very much as though MIS-.
Thaw will not receive the customary al
lcwance of $1,000 the first Of the month";
he said. With Thaw's affairs tied up in
the bankruptcy court l don't see how he
can make any provision for her, unless
he received money from some outside
source. There is no chance of any help
of that kind from Mrs. William Thaw,"
he added.
Two of Thaw's former counsel tele-
phoned M. O'Reilly today stating that
they would like to join him in the con.
templated move in the United States
court to sidetrack the bankruptcy pro-
ceedngs. Mr.. OReilly told them that he
proposed acting tomorrow for an injunc-
ton restraining Thaw from any further
attempt to be adjudged bankrupt and
that he preferred to enter the action
alone. Such an injunction proceeding is
most unusual. Mr.. O'Reilly declared that
it was probably the first move of the kind
to he made in the state. Its grounds for
asking for the injunction is that Thaw is
lunatic and not entitled to bankruptcy
proceedings.

MANILA ELECTION.
Villa and Lukban Elected to Assembly
Villa May Not Be Seated.

Manila, Aug. 11.-Returns from the
elections show that Simon Villa car
ried the southern district of the city
being elected alderman by large plu-
rality, while Ramona Dickno was elect
cd alderman in the northern district
defeating Dominator Gomez. Justo
Lukban was elected to the Assembly
from the northern district.
Simon Villa is former officer of the
insurgent army and only escaped tria,
for the murder of a Spanish officer by
the general amnesty proclamation.
Dickmo is lawyer and a labor of the
labor party of the city.
Americans doubt that the govern
ment will allow Villa to be seated, OBJ
jections to his holding office being made
on the ground that he is morally unfit
for position such as that to which
he has been elected.
The American residents of the for
eign population of Manila are opposed
to the rapid extension of ballot to
the Fiipinos declaring that the election
of Villa and Diokno clearly demon
strates the incapacity of the natives for
self government at present.

WITHOUT A CLUE.
Murder of Methuen Policemen Still
Remains a Mystery.

Mathuen. Mass, Aug. 11.-A sys
tematic canvass of every house within
three-quarters of a mile of the spot
where Policemen Charles II. Emerson
and Frank McDermott We're killed Sat
urday night was made today by the 10
cal and state police in an effor- to cast
some light upon the crime, and arrests
were made and frutless clues followed
day and night without any tangible re
suit. The inquiries at houses near the
fatal peat meadow brought out no new
facts. Some of the people claim that
they heard pistol shots Saturday night
but they made no investigation. No
facts could be found to place suspicion
upon anyone. Although the day was
negative in it's results nothing occurred
to shake the theory that is steadily
gaining ground that the shooting was
done by the same band that terrorized
the Jamaica Plain district of Boston in
July.
1t has been learned that the officers
were killed by bullets from automatic
revolvers. AS in the case of the Jamaica
Plain shooting the police are at
Standstill.
