A DOOM STARTED FOR HIM FOR THAT OFFICE.

TELEGRAPHS PALLADIUM In Which He Does Not Deny His Candidacy Let the "Boom" . Go On. The announcement was made in the Morning papers that the latest candidate to shy his castor into the ring as a successor to Senator Fairbanks was Daniel G. Reid, of New York. Of course, the announcement came as a surprise, especially to the friends of Mr. Reid here in Richmond where he was born and raised to manhood. Until his name was sprung Mr. Reid probably never gave the matter serious thought. He had his plans made to spend the summer abroad with the members of his family, and we are not quite sure that politics bothered him much. However, if Mr. Reid is a candidate there is little doubt but that he could be elected. And the Palladium feels that Mr. Reid will likely be a candidate and like the late Marcus A. Hanna, will be elected. There is only one drawback that we can see at this time, and that is that Harry Starr is pledged to manage Congressman Hemenway's campaign for the same office. With Dan Reid a candidate and Harry Starr as his campaign manager success would be sure. In a message from Mr. D. G. Reid tothe'Talladium he does not say he 7 would not be a candidate, but rather leaves it to us to read between the lines, and we have read and believe that Mr. Reid can be induced to be a candidate. Some may claim he is not a resident of Richmond, but that claim will have no foundation in fact. His home in New York is not any more his home than his Richmond home. Only two years ago he contemplated erecting a mansion at the corner of Tenth ajid North B streets, but a stumbling block as placed in his way. Since that time he has given Richmond a magnificent memorial church, and also a hospital, besides numerous other gifts. Thousands, of dollars are spent here every year by Mr. Reid that the majority of the people know nothing about. Mr. Reid is a thoroughbred Indiana man, and a Hoosier who is proud of his birthplace. Senator Reid would sound well and the Palladium will today start a boom for him for that high office, which he would fill with credit. He would be the first United States senator ever furnished by Richmond. HEALTH OFFICE. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. William Parshall, 1210 North F street, a girl, first child. RUSSINANS WILL RETREAT.

A CASE CHARGING MALPRAO

TICE AGAINST PHYSICIANS DR. OGRANVILLE RANARD Of Union City, a Railroad Surgeon, The Principal Defendant. This was the day set apart by the Wayne circuit court to hear a case venued from Randolph county. The case is one of alleged malpractice and is brought by one Davis of Randolph county against Drs. Ruby, Reynard and Reynard. On account of the illness of Judge Fox, the case was not called. This case involves a feature not unon a plaster cast. The plaintiff soon tired of the cast and had one made of tin and replaced the plaster cast with it. This was all unknown to the surgeons. As a consequence the bones of his leg did not unite properly and hence the suit. Those familiar with the science of surgery say that the plaintiff has no case whatever because he entirely ignored the instructions of his physicians. A Palladium reporter asked a leading surgeon of Richmond if the plaintiff had a case and he replied in the negative. The above mentioned surgeon said that when a patient ignored the advice of , a surgeon and Wnt about his daily avocations to his own injury, he could not place the responsibility on the profession. He concluded by saying that, in his opinion, the plaintiff had no cose. Congressman Watson Invited to Speak at St. Louis. Rushville, Ind., June 23. Representative James E.

E. & W. were barely kept , from beginning a fray in which blood would have been shed, by the influence of the bosses, who labored hard to prevent blows between the conflicting parties.'; Throughout the entire day the Irishers and Dagoes were ready to spring at each others' throats, and were , armed with shovels and handspikes, ready and eager for any fray in which there might be a chance to deal blows. The several hundred spectators grew excited as the situation became threatening in the extreme and as the anger of the contestants rose tcj fever heat each spectator be gan to look about for an arenue of escape in; time, of; trouble. The hotheadednes oji both sides begged the bosses o be allowed to go at it, out were restrained. Mr. Ferriday said that the situation was one of the most (Continued on Page Five.) TEH DOLLARS In Gold Won by Former Richmond Boy. Mr. John W. Crandfield, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. II Grandfield, formerly of 72 south seventeenth street, Richmond, and now in Clarksboro, New Jersey, won the prize of .10 in gold in the Junior Declamation Contest held in April at Bucknell University, Lewisbui:?, Pa. The announcement of the winner was made at the close of the cummer cement exercises of Bucknell Academy on June 21. Mr Grandfield recited "O'e Mistus" a pathetic and thrilling storv of the race-track. Mrs. Beck Doesn't Wish it All for Herself. To the Editor of the Palladium: In last evening's issue of your paper, in speaking of the childrens' day services at Trinity Lutheran church, the credit of success is given to the undersigned. The fact is, that Miss Grace Knollenberg, the efficient superintendent of the primary department, deserves the credit and praise. Her untiring efforts supported by her assistants, Edna Deuker, Emma Hasecoster, and Mary Stauber, made the exercises a success. Respectfully, MRS. J. BECK. Lihe above is all right from Mrs. Beck's standpoint, but as the Palladium knows Mrs. Beck to be a hard worker in the church, and the efficient organist, we still insist that she share the credit. Miss Eunice Tracey will come this evening to be the guest of H. Miljton Elrode and wife for a short time. A large number of picnics on the Fourth of July have been ' arranged.

OF UNKNOWN SPECIES NEAR LIBERTY.

COILED AROUND NECK At One Time hut the Farmer Cut it With a Pocket-Knife Snake a Terror. Liberty, Ind., June 28. In an encounter with a huge snake, of an un known species, near the mouth of a L cave in the hills in the southwestern part of the county, Norman Jones, a young farmer of athletic build, almost lost his life. Jones, who had heard that a cave was the haunt of a snake, saw the reptile sunning itself as he approached the cave last Saturday. Seizing a club he attacked the snake, believing he could kill it with little trouble. But the snake proved a formidable adversary and the desperate encounter which ensued was continued for almost an hour. At one time Jones says the snake coiled about his neck and was slowly strangling him when he managed to cut it almost in two with his pocketknife. The snake released its hold and dropped to the ground, and, believing tlie reptile dead, Jones made his way to a nearby farm house. He returned with two men who were to assist him in skinning his prize. But the snake had disappeared in the cave leaving a bloody trail behind it. MASONS.

TAX FERRET WINS SUIT IN THE INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS HEARD YESTERDAY BEFORE JUDGE FOX Who Decides in Favor of Tax Ferret Charters and Auditor Hanes. r The arguments in the tax ferret injunction case came to an end last evening, Judge Fox rendering his decision. It is not necessary to go into details about the decision, suffice it to say it was in favor of the tax ferret and against the reguar asses sor A. G. Compon. The decision of Judge Fox gives the tax ferret, Mr. Charters, the right to place upon the tax duplicate the Kinsey property and have it assessed. Mr. Charters is naturally jubilant over the decision, and says people will be surprised at the amount of sequestered property he will put on the tax duplicate, and increased amount of money in the county treasury.

ST. LOUIS TRAVEL CAUSES INCREASE IN THEIR WORK.

CONNECTIONS HERE Causes Much Handling of Baggage, Etc. Many Curious Baggage & Express Shipments. Our people have a very inadequate idea of the amount of work done by he bagcraire master and his assist ants at the local station here or of the amount of baggage and number of pieces of various description-! that pass through their hands. Just at i this time Mr August Pa list, the local baggage master, and his corps of helpers are especially rushed, this bi:ig caused by the sudden increase in the amount of travel to the world's fair. Richmond is a center for a 'arve section of territory around here, all roads; leading to this city, and all the people in this section come to Richmond to board the St. Louis trains. The Pennsvlvania through flyers pass through here and every day a large number make conceptions with theso This causes a great deal of extra work for the bajaire men, as it entails a deal of recheckinir, etc., and sorting of the baggage, and since the fast drains only stop here five minutes, all this work must be done in this short time. Recently the getting of the baggage of people who come in ?ate or make close c nn:ctions on ihe trains has caused :he latter to lose time. . , , The baggage room is one feature of the railroad service and it is not merely one of accommodation, but a money raking one. Large sums arc taken in each momh as excess baggape chaiges, and some months this excess baggage nione yamour.ts vip in the hundreds. This yr;r so far has been quite rich one, 'his being caused by St.. Louis travel, and the travel yet to. come will ereatlv increase the total. r Many r:-luable and unique piecespass through the baggage room and the express office. Odd mementoes f'om foreign lai-ds belonging to lately returned travelers valuable arimals, mysterious looking and odd shaped boxes and parcels. containing machine models, or other compleex ihings. Animals, pets that, arc travcl:r.-g with the family, are often found. There is a donkey which strikes Richmond about once every two months and whose comirg isknown. Just lately the G R. & I. bargage and express connections have many animals among them, chiefly dogs and ponies. These are going to the northern summer resorts in Michigan, etc., and about this time every year the shipment of them increases, reaching its height about the first of August. Crates of birds, small animals, and some times a calf, etc., are handled. Probably ihe most grewsome things are the boxes containing dead bodies, which are being transferred from one line to another. These ar viewed only as part of the day's work by the men but are .-hvays handled in 'a careful manner. Of course trunks form the largest r-art of the assortment of baggage, and boxes the largest part of the express. Qften over fifty trunks can be counted in the baggage room at the same time. Mr. Paust and his four assistants at the local station are never at a loss for something to do, and he work is rapidly growing !eavier with the increase in St. Louis travel.
