Fenrfui Accident.
NEW YORK, March THE London
Times of the twenty-second of February
gives the particulars of a frightful acci-
dent at Smyrna. A cafe built upon
piles over the sea, broke down suddenly
during a performance given by COM
pany Of acrobats. There were two hum
dred persons Bresent. A loud cracking
was heard, and " ithin five minutes the
entire cafe had disappeared under the
water. A few of the persons near the
entrances eontrived to effect their es-
cape, and some persons saved them
selves by jumping through the windows
into the sea. Boatmen rowed up in
numbers, but their efforts to save
life were in vain. The search
after dead bodies was a sad spectacle.
The acrobats were withdrawn from the
water in their snowy costumes OF the
previous night. The limbs of all bodies
were contracted with pain. Two hearses
were engaged the whole of the day in
carving the remains discovered to the
hospitals. The total number of bodies
found up to the present time Is eighty,
and it Is supposed that there are still
| fifty more in the water. The company
of acrobats consisted of seven persons,
of whom three were women, and one OF
these latter only survives.
The government will institute pro-
ceedings against the proprietors OF the
cafe, who did not heed the warning OF
danger which was given him.
| Avresf of the Murderer and RObDeE,
| louis wagner.
BOsToN, March when Louis Wag-
ner, the supposed murderer OF a woman
at Isle Shoals, was arrested this eve
ming, he was disguised in a new suit OF
clothes-his old ones being spoiled with
blood. He stoutly denied the crime.
Wagner was formerly an employe OF
| Mr.. Huntress, at whose residence the
murder was committed. After his ar
rival at tine house on the evening OF the
murder, he killed Cornelia Chusterson
with one blow of an axe, and imme-
diateIy after struck another woman, Miss
| Lawson; he then asked for the money,
and subsequently crushed Miss Lawson's
head to Jelly. Mrs. Huntress narrow
ly escaped.
PORTSMOUTH, n. j., March Louis
Wagner is expected here at noon. An
excited crowd are waiting. The Mayor
has procured squad of marines to guard
him.
LATER.
PORTSMOUTH, n. H, March IA
large crowd of indignant citizens were
gathered on the arrival of Wagner, the
alleged murderer; but there was nc
breach of peace. A guard of marines
was placed in charge of the stationhouse
where he is temporarily confined. The
name of the family in which the TRACE
dy occurred is Hontvel, not Huntress.
| Mrs. HontvePs condition is considered
critical. The murdered women were OF
irreproachable character, and quiet, and
remarkable for personal beauty.

The Boston correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune vouches for the truth ofa love story Of real
life, which embOdics about as many improba-
bil6ies as are Often concentrated upon one anec.
dote. About ten years ago Boston merchant
sent his lovely daughter into Vermont for her
health. She stayed few months and fell deeply
in love with a poor but promising machnlst
there. Soon after her return the young man fol-
lowed her to Boston, and requested her fathers
consent to n wedding in the Indefinite future
That party, however, Indignantly rebuked his pro-
testations, and the young man went West
with wounded pride, bus vast ambitions In a
short time he amassed large fortune, rs usual
but did not as usual fall in love again. The lady
on the other hand, obeying her fathers wishes,
married and went 70 Europe to live In two
years she was widow but having no call to
America she continued to live abroad. Recently
the Western capitalist was called to Europe on
business. He took apassage last September in
a steamer bound from Marseilles TO Leghorn A
sudden storm arose, and as the vessel pitched
about, lady passenger was thrown overheard.
de leaped after her, the crew threw over chairs
and planks, but nothing was seen of the two
poor creatures In the water They were given
up for lost. 1t happened, however, that they
reached plank, drifted about until morning,
and then were rescued aud carried 70 Malta. IL

chapel, ana are now on their way home to Amerl-

Grow FOND OrJOking.

Bird nature is much like human nature in
love Of fun and fondness for teasing others.
We have seen young people good deal like
Ralph, the crow. A writer says:
Some years ago, being out shooting with a
friend, he slightly wounded a young raven.
Having heard oflhe ease with which these birds
may be tanned, we begged the life of the captive,
and, having tied his legs, brought him home in
the buggy. In few days he entirely recover.
ed from his wouRd, and became very familiar,
amusing and mischievous.
His usual perch was the top Of shed, which
stood on an alley much frequented by pigs, pOul-
try and stray dogs Ralph would watch his
chance, and when q pig came near his perch, he
would aligbt upon the back Of the astonished
grnnter, and ride him about, quickening his
pace by repeated digs of his beak, and shouting
his delight most vociierously.
If he saw dog lying in the alley gnaWing q
bone, he would steal softly behind him, and
giving him RdiEin the back, fly away 20 bis
perch, with mischieVous ehuckle, befoie the
dog could retaliate. The dogs would frequent
ly be 80 much disconnected by the attacks Of the
mysterious enemy az to abandon the field and
the bone together, and Ralph would epjoy the
spoils.

in 1882 it appeared in London and Paris. On
June 8, 1882, it first appeared on this side Of
the Atlantic al Quebec, and on June 2l in New
York, the intermediate districts escaping its
visitation. II reached Boston, Baltimore and
Warrington In August.
Ia October it spread from Cincinnati to New
Orleans. There it struck acrOe4 the country to
Texas, and travelled up the Mississippi to the
river towns. ltrsvisted this country in 1884,
1885, 1885, 1887. We had cholera epidemic
IN 1854. from which Baltimore escaped. There
have been subsequent local visllaIions. The
cholera, OF q disease much resembling Il, and

The Farmers and the Politicians.

The farmers oranges of the counties
of Audrain, Monroe and Boone, III Mis-
souri,, held sort of picnic in the woods
in Monroe county, near the intersection
of the three counties, a few days ago,
and INDUCED in a good deal OF speaking
and much sociability. Over the speak
er's stand was placed board bordered
with white muslin, trimmed with braid,
and bearing the legend Corn better
than gold" The letters were traced
with kernels of yellow corn, and along
either edge was extended a stalk Of
green corn. One of the speakers said
I" Politicians are disposed to hatter us,
especially about election time. For
their own convenience they call us to-
gether, designate us as the honestyeo-
manry,' and all that kind of stuff. One
party does this Just as much as an
other, merely for the purpose of obtain
ing our votes. After they have gotten
our votes and the offices they care very
little for the honest yeomanry. They
will then give more attention TO the
agents of monopolies, men whose pock-
cts are well filed with money, who want
special legislation to replenish their own
Golfers. We are fostering class of men
never contemplated by the constitution
of our country. The theory of our Gov
eminent is that the people should gov
ern, and that office-holders should be
their servants, and that the Offices
should seek the men. In these latter
days we are nourishing a set of Office
seekers and office-holders. When they
once get the offices they think that they
are the masters and that the people are
their servants. We propose to drop
these politicians, and to select men of
honesty and capability, without regard
to party men whom we can believe,
and whom we can trust. In the grange
We take no action; as an organization
we make no nominations. We don't
propose to build up any new party but
a man is none the less citizen because
he is a member of the grange. He can
act as he chooses, independent of the
