EXTRA SESSION MOBS
It is Sail tlie President fill Con
yene Congress,
NOVEMBER ELEVENTH THE DAY.
Doubt Oast tn the Beliability of the
Beports Politics at the Bot-
' torn of It.
fpocial by Tub Usitxd Pkess.
New Yobk, Oct. 9. The Mail and
Express Las a .Washington special
saying:
"It is stated on good authority (hat
President Harrison will call an extra
session of Congress for November
lltb, to consider and pass- upon tho
Federal election bill."
Washington, Oct. 9. Tho extra
session rumor has again been set
afoot and is circulated widely despite
an array of facta that ought to con
vince any one of its emptiness. -
The date for the assembly of this
suppositious session i3 given a3 Tues
day. November 11th. It is hardly pro
bable that tho president will call an
extra session while he is away, yut
that is what lie must do if Uengress is
to assemble on tho 11th prox for it
must convene within thirty days nftcr
the call.
Another phase of tho story is that
an extra session will be called if tho
Democrats should chance to bo vic
torious in tho November elections.
These elections will take place Novem
ber dth, so that if an extra session was
called on the day following it would
bo several days later in assembling
than tho regular session. Thero are
no senators in tho city at this time
and the existence of auy responsible
person, who knows there will be an
extra session is to be doubted.

THK LOTTERY I,A"iV.
ft Interferes With tlie Publica
tion of a Newspaper.
Special to The AnouiAN.l
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9. Tho postal
authorities to-day seized tho -weekly
edition of tbo Atlanta Constitution,
which contained a prize distribution
offer to subscribers to be settled by a
Christmas drawing. About 10,000 pa
pers got out before the seizure, and
tho northern editiou was detained.
The paper offered to ijive a bond in
any amount to cover any verdict
which might bo rendered, but the au
thorities were obdurate and refused to
let the paper through the mails.
Tho objectionable feature consisted
of an amendment that there would be
a distribution of prizes to its Christ
mas box. This feature tho Constitu
tion, like many other papers, has been
running in connection with tho Weekly
Constitution for years.
Tho postal authorities claim that
this violates the law recently passed.
The Constitution announced that
the newspapers ought to assist
the government in filling the
provisions of this law and stopped
the publication pf its lottery
advertisement Thinking that the
law was intended to cover just such
features, to-day's edition was seized.
The forms have been revised and the
edition is now being printed. Other
publications with similar announce
ments were also stopped.

Hon the Relic of an Assassinated Dictator
LItcs In "evr York.
Conna Francisca Apaucia vel Ye3
enciadiayo do Quesaltenango Barrios
is very possibly tho most interesting
female creature of New York society
at the present moment. Yery few who
know that Mme. Barrios is the mother
of seven handsome children can real
ize that she is only 29 years of age,
has the freshness and slenderness of a
girl, and adores dancing abovo all
other forms of recreation. This i3 so,
nevertheless, and when she appears in
her thin black gowns of her choice,
wearing $300,000 worth of diamonds,
her southern skin riohlv tinted with
health and youth, the president's fair
relic very generally outshines all other
women present.
Sho lives in a palatial homo on
Fifth avenue and divides her time very
equally between caring for her small
sons and daughters and practicing the
classical music of which she is pas
sionately fond. Mme. Barrios has an
endless tram of admirers, but remains
absolutely indifferent to the most bril
liant men in New York. Sho ac
knowledges her fondness for society.
but avows her intention of remaining
faithful to tho memory of her Koldier
husband.
The story of how the ceneral won
her hand is well known, but only her
closest friends are aware of his devo
tion that sealed her love as a wife. It
is both interesting and pathetic to
hear her tell the story of how sho
arrayed .herself in all her Jewels, and,
surrounded by tho leading women of
Guatemala, sat in a box at the theater
waiting for Barrios to be proclaimed
uiuicuur. ouu never once uouDteu ms
success, but when the curtain fell pre
maturely, showing the martial picture
of the president rent in twain, sho
knew the temper of the people too
well to question tho result She was
hurried out of a side entrance, her life
in jeopardy,Iearned of the assassination
of Barrios, and the next morning fled
from her native land.
Mme Barrois has two sisters un
married and both living in New York

"JACK, THE HAIR-CUTTER"
A Man flio Desjoils Maidens of
Their Tresses.
HE CAUSES A EEIGN" OF TEEfiOE.
Young Ladies in Detroit Afraid to
"Venture Out of Their Houses
. After Dark.
Special By TnE Uxitkd Tbess.
Detroit, Mich., Oct 9. Kesidents
of the western part of this city are
wildly excited over the actions of a
professional hair thief, who by his
cunning methods has gained the name
of "Jack, the Hair-Cutter.''
About feS: weeks ago a young
woman with beautiful black hair
was on her way home in the early
part of the evening, when a man sud
denly threw his arm around her neck
so that she could not make any outcry.
In an instant he had loosened her
hair from its fastenings, and almost as
quicKiy severea ic ciose to ner neaa,
and escaped before she could call for
help. Since then two other girls have
been robbed of their tresses near the
same spot
Tho man reached the climaxof his
boldness last night Fanny C'Leary,
a 17-year-old girl, was going home,
when a tall, slim man jumped out
from an alley and caught her by the
throat in such a way that she could
not scream. In the twinkling of an
eye she felt something glide over her
head, and then sho was pushed, into
the gutter, and the man escaped be
fore she could call for help. He tried
to hold her in such a manner that sho
could not see him, but sho managed
to get a look at him and has furnished
a good description to the police, who
are on lookout for him, aided by Miss
O'Leary's description. This will not
bo needed if the people get him first
Astorians 3Iuch Interested.
Much interest i3 manifested in the
coming session of the Grand Lodge,
K of P., at Tho Dalles. The home
members will make a big showing,
especially the dramatic company
which will produce the play -of
"Damon and Pythias." A change has
been made in tho cast and Tom
Loughery will take the part of
Dionysius, instead of Postmaster Hare
who cannot get away. The delegation
will leave next Sunday night for Port
land and will leave tho latter city
Tuesday morning.
"JUMP FOR TOUE LIVES."
A Runaway Street-Car Planes Into tks
Chicago Rljcr.
"Jump for your lives! We're going
into the river!"
The driver of tho Lincoln avenue
car 178, of tho North Chicago Street
Bailroad company threw open the
front door of his car at l!i:io o'clock,
a few days since, and, with a face as
white as snow, shouted these ap
palling words to his passengers,
a dozen or more in number.
The passengers made a wild
rush for the doors. Just as the last
man sprang from the step the car and
horses went over the bank and
plunged into tho river. The Clark-
street bridge had been turned to allow
tho passing of the barge Howard J, as
the car came into sight on the viaduct
north of tho bridge. Tho grade from the
viaduct of the bridge is steep. As the
car reached the edge of the viaduct
the driver applied the brake. It re
fused to work and the car. began to
slide down the grade, gaining velocity
with every foot toward the river.
When within fifty feet of the brink
the driver threw himself bodily
against the brake. The chain
snapped. The car could not be
stopped. Then it was that he threw op
en the front door and yelled to his pas
sengers. Quick to realize the situa
tion, the conductor joined in the cry
and sprang into tho car shouting to
the passengers to jump and shaking
tho sleeping ones. As the car tot
tered on the brink it was seen that
still one man remained inside. He
had been asleep and awoke as the ve
hicle rocked on the verge. A cry of
horror went up from the people who
had gathered around, and his escape
from death appeared improbable. As
the car began to slide into the stream
he made a desperate leap and gained
tho rear platform just in time to jump
to the street as the car toppled over.
The last man was John T. McAdee.
He was very much excited, but man
aged to say:
"I was asleep in the car when.
I felt a strange motion, and
woke suddenly to find myself sliding
towards the end of tho car. I can't
tell how I ever managed to escape a
dreadful death. 1 just jumped and
found myself in a big crowd without
hardly knowing how I got there."
An exciting episode of the accident
was the summoning of a brigade of
fire engines and hook and ladder
trucks. The fire-fighters did every
thing they could to save the horses,
but being without proper alliance they
were forced to reluctantly abandon
the task. Tho car had turned end
over end as it went off the approach,
and stands on end in the river, only
about four feet of the front end pro
jecting above the water. St. Louis
