A SAD Enthusiastically morning there land
ed from the Boston steamer respectable look
ing French woman, about 81 years of age, VIII
was ompanied by.a boy of eight years oil
and an infant OF nine months. Later in the
day she related at the police station a sad tale
of abuse and sorrow the gist of which is as
follows: The boy was the result of first mar
riage. The infant belongs to her second hus
band William jackson. whom she left in Bos-
ton the preceding day, and to whom she had
been married two years. Some three or four
months since jackson, who is about 40 years
old, and possesses some property, conceived the
the idea of studying for the ministry, ard en-
tered class at Bates College, Lewiston. Up
to that period they had lived pleasantly togeth-
er, but with the change in his views of a pur-
suit came a change in his feelings towards her
He began to abus, her. He told her she was
hardly good looking or stylish enough to be the
wife of clergyman. He even went so far as
to threaten to kill her. The Faculty of the in
stitution receiving knowledge of his conduct
towards her dismissed him from the college.
About a week ago he took her and the chill
dren to Boston with the design of entering a
seminary there They took board ct South
Boston and the boarding mistress drew him at
once into her meshes. He began again to treat
the wife badly, and wanted to dispose of the
children by giving them away. He advised
her to leave him as he didn't care to live any
longer with her. Fearing he might take the
children from her she left him and determined
to go back to lewiston Having no money she
was begging her way.
During the forenoon Jackson appeared at the
station and claimed his wife, charging that she
was insane, and wanted her to return to Boston
with him. This she refused to do
Marshal Parker decided that before he would
allow the man to assume control of his wife,
he must go to Lewiston and bring authenticat-
ed statements disproving the wife's story
jackson concluded to follow that advice and
left on the noon train for Lewiston yesterday.
Recently an advertisement appeared in one OF
the dailies, in which an old lady wanted board
in private family Yesterday lady called at
the office of the paper and stated that she
would like take the old lady to board, as she
had taken care of good many old ladies, sew
seral of whom had died on her hands.
The campmeeting property at Old Orchard
Reach. which recently bonded for $4,000, was

Took THE WRONG TRAIN.-A well-known
conpositor of this city, who had occasion to
visit Saco Monday, and wishing to add the
cost of his ticket to the treasury of the Boston
and Maine Railroad Company, took his seat
complacently in one of the cars standing at the
Walker House depot, and leaning back, rumI-
mated with inward satisfaction over the good
deed he had just accomplished. The train
presently moved slowly out from the depot and
he began to enjoy viewing the geological for
nations as seen in the bank through which the
Sscut'' was made. When, howeAer, the train
left the city proper and began to glide rapidly
along towards Stroudwater, he felt that some
tbing m, ust be wrong, either the train, the
scenery, or H. nseif. Then it was he began a
tour of inquiry, nd found he was on board an
Ogdensburg train. .,~aat young man footed it

Large Republican Loss.

DETROIT, Nov, 1.-The. municipal election in
this city passed off quietly. Twelve precincts
heard from give Moffat (rep) for Mayor, 6S ma
jority. His entire majority will probably reach
1000. The Republicans elect the City Clerk,
Attorney, and Director of the Poor, and the
Democrats elect the Police Judge and probably
the Treasurer and Justice of the Peace.
The Republicans will have a majority of one
or two in the City Council and majority OF the
Board of Estimates. The meagre returns from
the special election in the fifth Congressional
distritt leave the result in doubt Grand Haven,
Inia and Holland and fifteen towns, give Will
liams (Rep) 200 majority. This is large Re-
publican loss compared with the vote of 1872.
Later.-The indications are that Williams
(Rep) is elected by majority of 200 or 3OO

La,ge Farmers, Vote.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The returns from the city
elections come in slowly, but enough is known
to insure the election of the entire peoples
ticket over the citizens or law and order ticket,
by u ajority of from 5000 to 1000, and II out
OF the 20 Aldermen on the same ticket. The
former ticket was headed by III. ID. Calvin for
Mayor, and the latter by L. L. Bond, the pres
ent acting Mayor. One of the principal points
at issue was the Sunday liquor law, which will
doubtless be repealed. There are very few re-
ports in from the country elections in the State,
but those received show a large farmers vote.

State Probably Democratic.

MILWAUKEE, Nov six wards in this city
Democratic candidates for the Assembly were
elected 1t is estimated that the Democratic
majority in this city is over 5000. In Madison
Taylor received 125 majority. In GAINESVILLE
Washbnrn's majority is al. The scattering
largely over the vote of two years ago.
The city of Milwaukee complete gives Iaylor,
dem. $500 majority, and the Democratic ma,
Jority in this county is estimated 5000. All
the Democratic Assemblymen in the county are
elected.
The sentinel, Washington organ, estimates
from the way returns are coming, that Taylor
will carry the State by 5000 majority: Promi-
nent Republicans now concede Washburn's
defeat.
On towns representing total vote of $4,000,
Taylor's gain is 3400 exclusive of the vote of
Milwaukee, in which city he gains 5000.

Tom scots,- Pacific Railroad i'm Trouble

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4-Three hundred thou
sand dollars of the paper of the California and
Texas Construction Company, which is build
ing the Texas Pacific Railroad, went to protest
to-day The liabilities of the Construction Com
pany are reported at 81, 500 900 in notes various
ly endorsed, all maturing within ninety days,
ST 100000 of loans on collaterals and individual
security, 100000 of unsecured obligations in
the shape of drafts, and $3.50, 900 of the float
ing debt, amounting in all to nearly 81 ,000, 000
This amount with the other 50, 900 900 cash paid
on the stock of the Construction Company, has
been expended dnder careful management in
the construction of the Texas Pacific Railroad
and there are 300 miles of the road completed
equipped and in operation, and about 100 miles
additional graded, bridged and ready for the
iron.
The resources of the Construction Company
consist of $4,000 per mile of the completed
road of the first mortgage bonds of the railroad
company, secured by lien ON the railroad its
equipment, franchises and a thousand acres of
land per mile, granted by the State of Texas
Over 81, 100000 of unpaid construction stock,
most of which will be promptly paid, and the
private property of the undivided endorsers,
which is very large, is held. 1t is believed the
creditors, most of whom hold large amounts,
will speedily arrange for an extension of the
liabilities of the company, so as to give time to
realize money without the ruinous sacrifice re-
aured by the present stringency of the tunes.
