Jeffries entered the ring' with Jack Johnson, at Reno, July 4,! a drugged man and not a man suffer- j ing from nervous collapse, is the pith i of a signed article by Barney Old- J field, which will be published here; to-morrow and which has been au-j thorized by the defeated champion, i Jeffries, however, will not allow j . the details concerning the alleged; drugging to be published at this j time, Oldfield says. According to Oldfield, Jeffries took j him into his confidence during a re-j cent hunting trip in the Sierras. Oldfield's statement is in part as. follows: "Mental or nervous collapse, Jeff explained, would not have affected' ' him physically for weeks after the fight. The poison which was given him affected his stomach afterward, and for a month he could scarcely retain solid food. His favorite dish>/ es did not possess any charm of taste and his whole body seemed as if stricken with rheumatism. When he began to get over the effects of the 'dope' he felt like a convalescent. He was positive it was no tempo rary mental or nervous trouble. I begged him to let me give to the world all the information' he possessed, but he said he would rather have it come out from another source. He is firm in the belief that the details will all come out within a year or so. Pledged to Secrecy. "Jeffries pledged me to secrecy about the details of the treachery and what he had been able to learn. 'He told me I was the only man who knew as much as I told you. I promised to aid him in getting some information he cannot get himself. Jeffries's story to me absolved the members of his training camp of any blame?that much I must say in justice to the men who helped me with all their heart. "It was after Jeffries told me this story that I. began to marvel at his present physical condition. For the ten days we were in the mountains be performed stunts of endurance that I did not think possible for any man. Never once did bfe fail and refuse the opportunity to scale difficult peaks. To any man who has ever had a bit of experience in professional athletics, Jeffries's condition, as he proved it day after day, must come as a revelation." r.

Columbia, January 4.?Phillip H. 1 Gadsden, lawyer, president of the Charleston Consolidated Railways, president of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of the Equalization Board was allowed by the Supreme Court to-day to file a riotitirm nQkin? for a hearinsr by the court on his professional conduct in the famous Lawrence case, as he is reflected upon seriously in a decree by Judge Robert Aldrich. At his request the court refrained from acting on the motion presented by Gen James Simmons, that the appeal in the Lawrence case be dismissed and the case remitted to the court below for the taking of a consent verdict. The case involves $300,000 worth of Charleston trolley stock and has been compromised by a cash payment of $95*000. The court will later appoint a day for the hearing and designate some attorney to represent the State and prescribe the mode of procedure. i The appearance of Mr. Gadsden before the Supreme Court to-day was the outgrowth of the settlement of the suit of Lawrence vs. Lawrence, : wherebv the widow of the late Dr. J. S. Lawrence, of Charleston, agreed to pay over to the heirs of her husband's half sister, Miss Mary S. Law- : rence, the sum of $95,000 as the relatives' share of Dr. Lawrence's j holdings. Mr. Gadsden resisted this settlement and announced his inten-j tion of appearing before Supreme Court to secure vindication of his( conduct, criticism of which had been; made by the judge who heard the ' case. No case of similar nature has at-: tracted wider attention in years than ; the Lawrence case will. Mr. Gadsden had Miss Mary S. Lawrence, half ( sister to Dr. Lawrence, sign away her; x- - ? i. ootflto rtf U'hl'ph I enure luicicot ajj. v*. ? u.vu hid widow was administratrix, for the sum of $500. Relatives of Miss Lawrence, who lived in Georgia, invoked the court to set aside the document secured from Miss Lawrence by Mr. Gadsden, and Judge Aldrich, who heard the matter, severely scored the Charleston attorney and financier for his part in the affair. Mr. Gadsden is largely interested in the traction company of Charleston, and it was largely through his efforts that the property has been brought to a high efficiency. Dr. Lawrence owned 9,200 shares ?n this company.

West Union, Ohio, January 7.? | Footsore, ragged, half-starved and! weary, three middle-aged men, one; a cripple, appeared in Common Pleas Court to-day to acknowledeg their guilt of vote-selling. They had walked by the light of lanterns from Rockville, twenty-five miles distant, to tell Judge Blair they had soldj their votes last November in order; to get money to provide food for! their families. The story of the three, John Richter, Page Cook and Asbury Cooper, excited the pity of the court, who gave them a month to pay $5 fines imposed, and disfranchised them for five years. The grand jui^y to-day after reporting forty-five new indictments, recessed until Wednesday to enable the members to attend to private business affairs, neglected for several weeks. Judge Blair believes that certain workers are withholding some names from the grand jury. A leader in Monroe Township, who, on two previous visits, could give but a few names, to-day reappeared with a list of twenty-five new ones, ah or tnese j men, he said, had been bought by] him last fall, at a price ranging from j $ o to $ 15. Every male elector in Billtown township has been disfranchised, and only women are qualified to vote at the next election for school trustees, and none but women will be eligible to hold the office of trustee. For the* first time in the history of women's suffrage not a man will step to the ballot-box to compete with women voters. Three women have already announced themselves as candidates for trusteeships. The probe has finished its third week, and the results total 1,641 in- i dictments. Of this number 1,350 have been fined and disfranchised.: Ninety men to-day received fines and disfranchisements. . a. s Jus er of Horses and y rapidly that w< i 1 . . 3 bougnt two car ther a mixed loa< East St. Louis, tl y Mr. Bamberg ir their being a e Dii see for yourself.

Baptist Evangelist Put Off at Arden, ] N. C.?Taken to Hospital. Asheville, N. C., Jan. 6.?For failure to produce his ticket or pay his fare, the Rev. George Cates, a Bap- 4 tist evangelist, was forcibly ejected 1 from a Southern train at Arden, N. * C.. vesterday morning and was * brought into the Biltmore hospital to-day for the treatment of injuries which he claims to have thus received. Mr. Cates alleges that he came to Asheville from Canton yesterday, en route to Hendersonville, and that he did not have time to exchange his mileage for a ticket, as required by railroad regulations in this State. He claims he offered his mileage book to the conductor and alleges that on his refusal to pay cash he was put off the train and thereby sustained internal injuries. During the united revival services in Columbia Rev. George Cates conducted services in the First Baptist church and in the State house. He is well known in Columbia on account of his stay in that city. Ends Winter's Troubles. To many, winter is a season of trouble.

Munson usually i kept the pension' certificates of his j clients in the office, and executed < quarterly vouchers for the pension- . ers. One by one the pensioners i died. Munson continued to execute the vouchers, forging the name of the pensioner, and usually tnat or the identifying witness. He kept . up the practice until checks for six- ] teen dead pensioners were regularlj coming to him, besides cheeks for J three pensioners who had remarried ] and ceased to be entitled to them. 1 Among the beneficiaries was Mun- ( son's aunt. She had died in 1887, J but he continued to draw her pen- ] sion until 1897.
