The discussion is confined’ not to talk alone. Money Is doing consld-j erable talking and both candidates have: plenty of backers. If the odds ure criterion. Hughes will have a walk over. Odds of; 4 to 1 were freely of fered and quickly snapped Up by the Hearst adherents. A member of an Insurance firm called up the office of The Oeorglan Monday, and stated’that he had 36A0 to bet'on Hughes at 3 to 1. Tlte name of the bettor will be given to anyone desiring to place a bet. White no-estimate of the money wa gered in this city on the Hughes-Hearst contest has been made, It will undoubt edly run Into'the thousands. The odds freely given by the. Hughes men look tempting to the sliort-end bettors and many a flyer has been taken on Hearst’s probable majority In Manhat tan. One enthusiastic follower of the "champion of the people" bet 1100 to 250 that Hearst will pull out of Alan- hattan with 76,000 majority.

The officer saw the move, however, and by quick action probably saved himself from serious injury. As the squaw waved the tomahawk In the air the officer pulled his pistol, and, level ing it at her, exclaimed: "Come another step toward me and I’ll shoot yotl down.” . , The dangerous looking weapon, backed by the-determined exp-.-es-lon on the officer’s face, balked tin- mi- raged red skin and she "droppe I the tomahawk to the ground, offering no further resistance.

Monday morning In compliance with the agree ment between tile officials of the road and the representatives of the union In Washington last week. The strike-breakers were discharged and paid off Sunduy, and left the shops. The machinists say that the yards ars full of work and that some time will be required to get things In good running order and relieve the congestion of accumulated repair work. Altogether one hundred and forty men w-alked out of the machine shops. Of this number one hundred and eight were Journeymen machinists and thir ty-two were apprentices. As a result the shops were closed down until labor was imported by the road from the East, but this action proved to be more of an expense than anything else. • No man Is more enthusiastic over the settlement of the strike than Alaster Mechanic Sheehan, who has been as happy and as garrulous as a clam since the strike was announced settled. While belleved to be in sympathy with the strikers. Mr. Sheehan has been loyal to the road and has cared for Its Interests as much ns possible under the circum stances since the machinists walked out. BILLBOARD LITHOGRAPHS DENOUNCED BY MINISTERS That the bill Introduced by Council mail Terrell, at a recent 'meeting of the council, for the doing away of bill board* carrying vulgar and obscene pictures Is a movement toward the up lifting of the morals of the citizens of the city, was the consensus opinion Monday at the meeting of the Ministers* Kvangellcal Association. When the bill Is presented to the council for consideration a representa tion of the ministers will be present to aid in the passage of the measure. According to one minister, this will be no easy mutter, ns the committee in charge of the bill Is said to be opposed to the measure. If the bill Is passed, It will mean the Hauling posters, visible at the present time on many streets, wilt be seen no more. Pictures of women Immodestly dressed and medicines advertising un clean diseases, will, according to the members of the evangelical associa tion, be conspicuous by their absence. According to one minister. Council man Terrell’s measure provides that all billboards in the future shall be of a width and lengtli much tens than at present. As all lithographs are of the same width, this, said .the minister, will mean there will be no more ca thartic advertisements, no more plc- IIthogrephs of women wearing naught but a seraphic smile. In their place will be such small advertisements as can be placed on the restricted bill boards as called for In the Terrell measure. Chinese Y. M. C. A.

Nov. 5.—Charles Cofleld, n spinner at the Massachusetts Cotton Mills, was shot qnd fatally wounded by Robert Tlppen, at Lindale, Saturday night at 12 o’clock, immediately after the performance given by Peter Maher, the pugilist. A dance was to have been given and while the hall was being cleared for the occasion Cofleld was walking fh»* floor cursing very profusely In the presence of four young ladles who were standing talking to Tlppen. The latter went to Cofleld and told him he must cease cursing. Tlppen then told the young ladles they had better leave there, as he anticipated trouble. As Tlppen was leaving the hall with them he was approached by Cofleld and four other men with open knives, who told him that he Was not going to leave the lutll. As Tlppen went to force his way out the men made an attack upon him, but at this Instance he drew his pistol and fired five shots at Cofleld, two balls taking effect in the abdomen. Cofleld’s condition Is serious and there is no chance for his recovery- Tlppen did not attempt to escape, but notified the officers that lie would be at his home In Rome if they wanted him.

I have had the confidence of the leaders and can say that they expect confidently a victory for Mr. Hearst on Tuesday. One great fear Is of rob bery In elections. The Republicans have control and It will be hard to as sure an honest count. it Is true that the betting Is against Hearst. But two weeks before the mayor's race the betting was 10 to 1 In favor of McClellan and a few days before It was 4 to I. Yet there Is not a man In New York who has no per sonal interest at stake, who will not tell you that Mr. Hearst was fairly elected. * 'ilr.
