delegates, will meet in the halls of the
national congress and cast their ballots
as directed by their constituents for pres

The general elections will fall on Sun

The seven days between these two

Ollie party, considered the most powerful
political faction in Mexico, which held
its convention August 16, refused to make
nominations, but pledged itself to support

Get Ballots Early.

The governors of the states have
named recorders, one for each precinct
of 500 persons, whose duty it shall be
to distribute the ballots to each voter
eight days before election. How many
ballots will be lost by this
method is another problem which will
be brought to the attention or congress
when Gen. Reyes contests the eiectloh

1t should be added in passing that OF

complete charge of the polls in his

resort for all questions arising cleo

No challenges will be allowed at the
polls and there will be no redress for
the man who loses his ballot at that
time. All such protests must be made
before the chamber of deputies at the
time of the announcement Of the re-

Clay Beattie, jr, occupied prior to his
trial at Chesterfield Courthouse. Samuel
is charged with the murder OF his son

seriousness the wounded man said the

Election to Be Different.

These coming elections will be different
from any ever held in any republic in
the world, and the methods to be fol-
lowed have aroused scores of protests
from all parts of Mexico. In the first
place the names of the candidates for
seats in the electoral college from each
district will not be printed on the ballots.
Each ballot will be a small square of
white paper containing the name Of
the voter Above his name will be
printed line, in Spanish, Il vote
the voter will write, either with pen
ell or pen, the name of the elector, for
whom he wishes to vote. Only one bal
lot will be printed for each voter, and
the voters names will be taken from
the rolls Of the first and last census
of Mexico, that of 1910.
If the voter makes a mistake in
writing In the names Of his candidate
for the electoral college, he must
erase it with his own hand, and write

WITCH CAT CAPTURED
BY PATIENT WATCHER
Animal Which Is Said to Have
Provided Thrills for En-
tire County.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BETTSvILLE, Pa, September 80. -
Ever since the exploitation OF the weird
and uncanny tale Of the visits or evil
spirtts to the hex haunted Thomas
farmhouse, in the Tumbling Run valley,
thousands of people from all parts OF
SchuylkiIl county have visited the scene
of the alleged supernatural visitations.
The witch cat a feline as dark as mid
night, which Miss Mary Isabella Thomas
said was distorted at times into MD
eous monstrosity. four feet in height, has
been eagerly sought by an organized
party of courageous youths and men OF
this place. Owing to the fact that false
counsel was given by witch" doctor,
who recommended the use of a golden
bullet to Kill the uncanny cat, when
common bullet alone could break the
she'll and kill the awesome animal, said
to be inhabited by the evil one, the cat
has failed to appear, and no opportunity
has been afforded to get shot at it.
Watcher Is Rewarded.
In the gray of last Wednesday morning
the vigil was started, but the cat seemed
to be aware that its Vaccinations We're
at an end, and kept itself scarce. To-
day, however, Charles Lawless, armed
with an old blunderbuss, said to have
been blessed by saint, and with web
taken from the intestines of pure white
lamb, a book of counteraction against
witches spells and many other talismens,
was rewarded in his watch.
Too much excited to use his gun, he
threw a Testament at the cat and
then seized it. The capture has caused
great excitement throughout the county
and tonight it is exhibited at marAet
street business house, where it has been
visited by curious thousands.
The cat is confined in a strong cage,
thick steel bars being set an eighth OF
an inch apart to keep 1t secure the
feline is OF ordinary size, but is coal
black, with baleful green eyes.
Miss Thomas in Doubt.
Miss Thomas has failed as yet to identi-
fv il as the author of the family stmis-
fortunes. and there is wide speculation
as TO whether Lawless has the demon
cat in captivity.
The fact remains, though, that he
caught the feline on the Thomas premises
and was badly scratched and clawed in
doing so. Lawless had been advised by
several witch doctors from various parts
of the county to guard the cat closely,
some mystic word being supplied to keep
II a close prisoner, until they can care
fully inspect il and ascertain positively
whether or not il is really "hexameter"

Named by Minor Parties.

Then there are the ever-present Vaz-
quez-GomeZ brothers, who succeeded in
getting themselves nominated by minor
parties, but who are now obviously out
of the running. Emilio Vazquez-Gomez,
former agent of the Madero revolution in
Washington and later minister of the in
terror In the cabinet of President de la
Barra, has been nominated for the preSi-
dency by the. old anti-re-eIectionist party,
now called the Vazquistas. This was the
original new thought party organized
by Madero in Monterey in 1910, and was
one of the causes of his imprisonment by
Diaz. When Emilio Vazquez-Go was
forced to resign from the de la Barra
cabi net, however, the central committee
of this party deserted Madero, taking
ton over to Vazquez-Gomez. Now, how
ever, most of these insurgents have re-
turned to the Madero fold
francisco NaZqueZ-Gomez, minister Of
public instruction in the de la Barra cab
met at the present time, has been nomI-
mated by a number of minor clubs, owing
allegiance to no party, for the presidency
1t is doubtful, however, If his name will
appear on the lists on election day. as it
is generally understood that he has made
an agreement with Madero to withdraw
from the race provided he be retained in
the new Madero cabinet next term.
President de la Barra, though nomi-
mated by some hundred and fifty clubs
for the presidency, has positively refused
to be candidate, and, finally, most Of
his former supporters have thrown their
influence to Bernardo Reyes who repre-
sents the hope Of the remaining Glen
tifices, the foreigners interested in this
country and the upper tenth Of the ma
tons population.
