The n ews.

| Negro suffrage has received q quietus in
Connecticut, every county hut one casting
heavy maiorities against the amendment mt
to the Constitution.
Consular letters received at the State
Department state that the cholera il abat-
| ing in the island of Maiorca, but has re-
appeared i'm Siberia, attended with frigt-
full mortality.
The shoe business Of Lynn, Massachu-
sets, for August, exceeded that of any
previous months on record. Twelve humid
red thousand dollars worth OF shoes were
made.
Tthe following account of a fatal aflray in
that place:
"Our usually quiet village was, We'd
nesday last, thrown into excitement by
the violent death of James NJ. Chaddrick
-proprietor of the I.aClede Hotel-shot by
one Charles Monger stage driver.
The facts in the case, as far as we can
learn them from those who were present
at the time, are as follows: The stage
driver in putting up his team found oats
7
other horse. and threw them out on the
floor, about which a quarrel arose between
him and Mr.. Chaddrick, in which the lat
ter is said to have called the driver d--n
thieving son of a b--h:' At this the
driver pulled off his coat remarking that
he would not stand that" and went TO
his satchel which was hanging against the
no rfi tor tanf
down, unlocked it, took therefrom navy
revolver, cooked and pointed it at Mr.. c.
commanding him to put down fork
which the latter had picked up when the
former threw of his coat and started for
his satchel. Some of the boys say that the
command was given three times before the
shot.
At the time when the driver started for
the revolver Craddick was sitting on box
in the passage leading from the main part
OF the stable to an addition, and in which
was the driver. a bar some two and a
half feet high was between them, over
which man can readily step. AS the
driver started for the satchel, Mr.. G.. took
up the fork before spoken of-which was
on the box on which he was sitting-and
advancing n step which took him to the
bar, and within about six feet of the driver.
Here he remained in An attitude Of defense
remarking "come at me with what you
please" but making no attempt to cross
the bar during the time the driver was
getting his satchel, unlocking it, taking
the revolver from its sheath and cooking
it. When the revolver was pointed at him
he reached over the bar with his fork and
hit it knocking it up, just as the fins cap
snapped. The driver then stepped back n
pace or two and Craddick did the same,
exclaiming, us some say: Don't shoot"
On the discharge of the revolver he ex-
claimed, "Boys, am dead mani" He
fell to the floor, and died without uttering
another word. The ball entered the right
side near the arm, and passing through the
body, and probably the heart, lodged
against the skin on the opposite side"

A Missouri man went to the war, leaving
a wife and two children. He was given up
for dead, and his supposed widow became
a wife and mother again. The first hus-
band lately returned safe and sound the
two husbands and the double wife calmly
talked the matter over, and it was left for
the woman to decide whose wi she would

bye, and started for the south.

was added as an epidemic. 1T is said
to have been unusually yirulent, and as
many as twenty thousand deaths are
reported to have occurred from this dis
ease within twenty days Doubtless

of May the cholera appeared at Alex

clean quarter of the town For two or
three days the deaths were from four to
eight persons, but suddenly they rose
to twenty and forty per day-and on
the 18th there were sixty-one fatal
cases.
On the 25th it was declared that one
hundred and eighty-three persons died
from the disease. On the 26th it was
announced by telegraph that the whole
number of deaths in Aexandria, in six
teen days, from this pestilence, were
1884 1t was also stated that the ehol-
era had made its appearance at Cairo.
AS q consequence, vessels coming from
Alexandria were suspected, and upon a
rumor that steamer, which arrived at |
Marseille.i from Alexandria, had the
disease on board, she was put in quar-
antine The alarm in this case was
thought to be without cause, and upon
investigation it was not discovered thst
there had been any cholera on board of
the ship. Nevertheless, all the Boards
of Health st Mediterranean ports were
preparing for the scourge, and sanitary
preeautions were advocated even in /
England.
The cholera has hitherto moved in
accordance with certain laws, from east
to west, its progress being steady but
not rapid. Having had two visitations
of the epidemic in this country, its pc
culiarities are tolerably well under
stood, and the best methods of meeting
the disease by proper sanitary regula-
tions have also been adopted. In 1882
it was much more severe than in 1850
and the alarm was not as great at the
latter period as upon the previous visit,
when the Ehole country was in state
Of trepidation, and fears were indulged
which very much assisted the destrpc-
tiveness Of the malady. According to
appearances we may expect another
visitation from this epidemic, but from
the lateness of the season and the dis
tancs at which it is at present raging,
it is probable that it will not cross the
water until nextyear We may expect
it next summer, unless its course is
more erratic than formerly, but mean
while it is the part of prudence to pre-
pare for it by the institution of such
sanitary precautions as science and eX-
perience will dictate.

that Napoleon only was punished, and
the battle decided nothing. for the
ideas as wen as the dynasty of that ex
