He ovea morphine, and revels in the use of the drug, although on more occasions than one it has come near cooking his goose. Within, the past few months Nelson has been found a number of times so much exhausted from the use of the narcotic that It almost defied the efforts of the physician to save his life. Nelson would have ended his existence last night but for the fact that Officer Eagan placed him under arrest "Where did you get him, officer?" In quired his honor "At 11:30 last night I was sent for to take him out of a restaurant on Grant street, opposite the cathedral. He had room detected the filmes. and going in, they dragged the, sheet off him.

Dick Radcllft was broug-ht up by Officer Sullivan to explain to his honor why he got into a fight with a man on Forbes street yesterday afternoon. "They were fighting wickedly," said the officer, "but before I arrived on the scene the other man ran away." i "Is that all you knefcv about the case?" "Yes, sir."

"I'll fine you $5 and costs or 30 days." Officer William Kennev ran In Peter Dennlston and John Doyle, whom he charged with robbing James Phillips in Miller's restaurant on Wylie avenue last nlyht.

Phillips was also charged with drunkenness. "I was called to the restaurant by the cook, who informed me a man had been robbed," the officer stated. "On looking around I saw Dennlston trying to escape over the roofs, end I climbed out of the attio window and pursued him. I chased him over the roofs of four or five buildings end threatened to shoot before I could make him give up the race. Doyle and Phillips were too drunk to run, and I had no trouble with them." John F.

Franklin and John McNulty corroborated the officer's statement, said they had witnessed, the exciting chase and capture of Dennlston on the roofs. During the testimony Dennlston made many efforts to speak, but was finally silenced when his honor threatened to send him to the workhouse without a hearing. "Phillips, do you know these men?" inquired his honor. Pick vs. Crosstie.

"He went to sleep, your hoW," said Dennlston, "and at the time I had to go I took It out of his pocket and nothing more. The cook called for an officer and when I saw him talking to her at the door I got on the roof." "The man took nothing but what I intended to give him, your honor," said "Weill I suppose you were all drunk and I'll fins you $1 and coats each."

Keenan for vice consul of the L. A. Mr, Gideon was away from his office and could not deny the malicious statement at once. He got home on Saturday, however, and this morning the following telegram was received rrom mm: T. J.

Keenan, Jr- Pittsburg: I heartily endorse your candidacy. One guou mm ueservea anotner. George D. Gideon. Mr.

Gideon is openly opposed to fraud of any sort that the publication of the Dogus interview Dy tne uisgruntiea four naturany stirred up tils indignation to a very considerable extent. He will not onlv vote for Mr. Keenan, but will use his ln- nuence ror mm. As an indication of the feeling in this city over the contest for the vice consulship, it may be stated, that one well Known wneeiman maae a Det tms morn ing that Mr. Keenan would win out 10 to 1.

And the indications are that he will win it, too. The Germantown Independent Gazette, in sneaking of the election, says: "The ottlclal ballot of the League of American Wheelmen is out and every member should take time and cast his vote Do. npt simply nil it in. and send alortir. "but" "secure information concerning the numerous candidates for office and vote-accordingly.

In the contest ror the vice consulship or the Pennsylvania division it is a peculiar fact that the cnier mover in tne enort to aeteat Mr, Keenan for that, office, less than a month ago, as chairman of the state nominating committee, recommended him as the only candidate ror tne omee. just why tms change should have occurred is not generally known, but the methods which have ben used to defeat Mr. Keenan are unfair. A bogus ballot accompanied by a circular, was sent about a week ago to the members of the league by the supporters of Mr. Keenan's opponent The ballot wis not legitimate, as it did not contain the names of all the candidates, according to the by laws.

Unsuspecting members of the L. W. have naturally filled up the ballot and sent it in, but all votes sent before Monday laBt will not be counted. Thev now have the official ballot and should vote for the best interests of the league. Mr.

Keenan should be re-elected vice consul, as he Is a hard worker and has filled the office very creditably. With the assistance of a strong corps of local consuls, who were recommended by him, he has, during the past year, increased the A. W. membership In Allegheny county alone over 1,000, sending in himself over 600 membership applications to Sec retary Bassett. In Philadelphia county, which contains more members than any other district in tne state, representatives are to be elected.

There ars 27 names on the list, three of whom are members of the Wlssahickon Wheelmen, and at the fresent time are very much interested the welfare of every wheelman of Germantown. They are John J. Gessleman, O. S. Bunnell and Wm.

H. Hart Put a cross back of their names and have this suburb well represented. It anyone is a loss how to vote call at any of the cyclu stores and the proprietors will be pleased to give you all the information desired. Don't forget to vote for Mr. "He's all right." The South Philadelphia says: There is a so-called indenendent move ment in connection with the coming election of officers of the Pennsylvania divi sion of the League of American Wheelmen whereby the name of Dr.

W. H. Mercur has been Placed in nomination for vice consul In opposition to Thomas J. Keenan, the present incumbent Mr. Keenan Is a prominent wheelman of Pittsburg, and also editor and proprietor of the Pittsburg Press, a very highly esteemed and valued citizen of that city.

He is progressive and public spirited, and has served the league with untiring efforts and with unprecedented ability and efficiency. His methods and views of affairs generally are progressive, a very essential qualification for the office of vice consul. The opposition Is not reasonably founded, and is due prin-clpally to a petty inimical feeling and Jealousy of a few whom it seems impossible to please, an element that always exists in all organized bodies. One can readllv lmarlne what the feelina- is when Mr. antagonists through strenuous efforts secured but 137 names to Dr.

Mercur's nomination papers out or a total membership or nearly 1,000 in Allegheny county, the real set of oppo sition, if anywhere. This fact alone clear demonstrates the sentiment there, and could not be a Detter recommendation ror his re-election. All the unfair statements made by Mr. Keenan's opponents have been refuted, and it can bo safely assumed that when the votes are counted there will be but little to show taat there was ever any opposition. Following is from the Ridgeway Personal enemies of Vive Consul T.

J. Keenan, of Pittsburg, have resorted to unfair means to accomplish their purpose of turning down a worthy laborer in the cause of L. A. W. work.

League Inembers have until November 13 to vote and thev should, not cast their votes upon any of the fraudulent ballots sent to them by Keenan's enemies. The official ballot will contain the names of all nominees and not only the name of the ambitious Mer cur as was done on the aforsaid fraudur (BUI Local members of the L.

The deer season Is already open In Wis consin and deer are being slaughtered by the hundreds by the scores of sportsmen now In the woods. On November l'the sea son w)ll be open In Minnesota. Owing to the introduction of the modern small-cail-ber, long-range firearms old-time hunters look forward with apprenenslon to the accidents that are likely to occur. In the wlndowof a Minneapolis gun store hangs a harmless-looking little rifle, to which Is attached the significant placard: "Range, four and a halt miles." That simple little announcement means that many men who have heretofore spent most of the month of November In the woods of northern Minnesota will remain at home this year and scan the newspapers for accounts of the deaths of unhappy hunters who have been killed by theee terrible weapons. A number of these rifles have been sold and It Is apparent that no man within a radius of several miles of a hunter armed with one of them has any certain tenure of life.

In Minneapolis alone at least a dozen men who have not missed their annual deer hunts for several years have given it out that thiBt year thev prefer the quiet of business to the hazards of deer hunting with such dangerous weapons in' use in Jl 0 woo This is the first year that these rifles have been used generally In the United States for hunting purposes and with those who have not reflected on the possibilities of their long range they are extremely popular.

There Is no need for adjustable sights with such a powerful rifle, and for that reason, as well as for their comparative cheapness, they are proving popular, i A Minneapolis man who used one bf these rifles, last year says he would like t4 see 'law passed forbidding the use of such weapons. His change of heart was brought about by a little experience he had while in the woods last winter. He was sittinlg on a log smoking, waiting for his wagon to come up with the supplies, when there came the peculiar mnn.ninff sound of the small-caliber bullet.

It struck a tree scarcely four feet from Mr. Johnson. He had hardly recovered from his surprise when another bullet passed near his head. The next moment Vfr Jnhnann was crouching behind a log. After he had recovered his equanimity he dug the ball out of the tree and found that It belonged to one of his own men.

He learned from them afterward that the man was three miles away at the time the two snots were nrea. "Vnn imv think It is a laughing mat ter," said W. W. Leonard, another well-known hunter, "but let me point out a few facts. The rifles now being sold in Minneapolis and throughout the northwest have the territble carrying power cf the formidable, small caliber rifles now In use in the armies of Europe and In the regular army of the Unltefl Btates.

"I contend that there Is no excuse for the use of such deadly weapons. In ordinary deer-hunting a man is a poor hunter who does not stalk his game within 150 yards. Of" course, in hunting mountain sheep and goats the range is much longer. But of what use is sueh an extreme range? man cannot see his game at two or three miles, and even if he could he couldl not aim within 60 feet of it There is no use for such weapons except in warfare, and they should be forbidden in hunting.

Notwithstanding the poop work of U. of P. had much to do with the final result, the Lafayette players put up a great game and proved conclusively that it was not by mere luck that they held Princeton down to a 0-0 game a few weeks ago.

Another surprise party was the Yale-Carlisle training school game. The fact that the Indians scored on Yale, and In the opinion of many, even succeeded In tlelng the score, shows them to be playing the proper kind of ball. Yale seems to be weak. There Is not the same amount of enthusiastic spirit that has heretofore characterised the players of that university. It is probable now, however, since the discouraging results of Saturday's contests, that birth Yale and Penn sylvania will take a brace, and in a short thne be able to nut ud their usually stood game.

Princeton was about the only big university team that was not scored on. The til-urn nuehed the State collose eleven over the gridiron at will, and had but little dimcuity in running up a score 01 to u. Harvard was scored by' the Cornelllans, but won out 18 to 4.

C. team and the team of the University of West Virginia. It was generally conceded by those well ac quainted witn tne local teams man j. A. C.

would defeat the university team. but it was not thought such a big score would be made.

teams. A great many brilliant Individual plays were made, witnout wnicn tne score would have been much lanrer. but If these had been followed by team work things would not nave Deen so gloomy at the clubhouse after the game. "Doggy" Trenchard made his first ap pearance on a local gridiron In the A. C.

game Saturday. He Is certainly a great player and on several occasions forced himself through P. A. line by main strength. Trenchard was captain of the champion Princeton team of 18113.

With his orarute and black striped sweater and stockings he reminded one very much of a tiger as he got into ine scrimmages on oaiuraay. Quite a number of Greensburr A. A. football players were on the side lines watehlng the game at Exposition park Saturday. Geneva college had cancelled its game with G.

A. C. Greensburg will nlav the Latrobe team next Saturday at La-trobe. The dlsnute over the rame between the Pittsburg- college and the Emeralds In Saturday's game Is one of the unfortunate reatures or modern root ball. The Emeralds got the ball from a punt made by their own fullback and made a touch down.

They were clearly offside and the umpire so decided at. once. The referee, who had nothing whatever to do with the matter decided that the Quarter-back of the college team had touched the ball with hia fingers while it was passing through the air, and that consequently, the um- Slre was wrong. Outsiders, who were on le side lines, uphold the umpire, and as he is the only one who has any right to make a decision in the case, what he says will have to go, whether It suits the other side or not In the P. Y.

The second half ended In 15 minutes, but F. A. C. got the ball going, and made two touch-downs In 10 mnutes. This is the second time this season those two teams have come together, the first game ending in a tie score at WUklnsburg of 0 to 0.
