About half-past o'clock Thursday morn
ing DR.. Francisco Ribot, an old resident of
the Third District, committed suicide bv
shooting himself through the head, at his
residence, 4l4 Bagatelle street. The doctor

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
A Young Married Woman Missing
From Her Home.

Ophelia Ebinger, aged eighteen years, re-
siding at No. 26a Toledano street, disap-
peared some time during Wednesday night
and has not been seen or heard of since.
A dispatch was sent to all the stations, notify
ing the police Of the fact, by her husband,
yesterday morning, but at last accounts no
news of her whereabouts could be ascer-
tanned.
Mrs. Ebinger has for about a week past
been suffering from a severe attack of fever,
and had taken great deal of quinine to check
il, and was somewhat out of her mind from
the effects of strong medicine. The young
woman left her bed unnoticed by her hus-
band, who woke up about o'clock Thursday
morning and found her missing. He imme-
diately got up, thinking that she had, while
suffering under temporary Fl. of insanity,
gone out into the yard. diligent search
was instituted about the premises, but the
young wife was not to be found.
A closer examination disclosed that she had
left home in her wrapper, as her clothes re-
manned untouhed on chair in the room where
she had left them before she was taken. sick,
and it is supposed that she must have jumped
into the river and was drowned.
MIR. Ebinger has instituteda diligent search
for her himself throughout the entire city
since the time of her sudden and we may say
mysterious disappearance, but has failed to
find any clue as to her whereabouts.
The young woman has been married now
six months, and has lived happily, and always
been in the highest kind of spirits up to the
date of her late severe illness.

The Southern Republican Club.
Strange Rumors.

A short time ago we noticed at some length
the formation and rapid increase of an or
ganization called the Southern Republican
Club of this city. The start it had was at
first not deemed of sufficient importance to
attract public attention, but of late its large
accessions have given rise to considerable
surmise in political circles as to its aim and
purposes. The sessions are held in secret,
the members are obligated not to divulge it's
end, and eveu the number of members has
not yet been made known.
1t is rumored that many of those who had
previously affiliated with the Conservatives
have joined, and that now the roll is very
long. Whispers have been going about for a
few days past that there was something of Pc
culiar significance in this new organization.
1t is darkly limited that outside the ostensible
objects of the club already made public, the
club was already on military basis. Whether
this be true or not, of course we cannot say,
but such is the report abroad. The reason
of all this preparation it is said ia to be better
ready in the approaching political campaign,
and to more thoroughly push in this State
the third term doctrine.
They say that behind all the public mani
festations of an ordinary political nature the
club is firmly planted on the platform of
Grants reelection to the Presidency II
this be SO it is important to know whether
ramification of such clubs extend throughout
the United States, for, if this be the case, the
public would naturally become somewhat
alarmed. Let the members of the club dis
abuse the general mind as to this.
The organization. it is generally reported,
is disguised branch of the American Union
of Soldiers and Sailors, and that though they
have different name, they are branch Of
the Union.

A cat belono;pe to TT. D. Van Leuven

A cat belonging to II. ID. Van Leuven
entered the drug store Of c. i. Van Deuser
on Monday morning, and climbing up on a
shelf where there was lot of different
kinds of herbs in packages-nosed them
over until she came to package of catnip
when she tumbled it down on the floor
and jumped right down after it, scrathine
it with her paws and tearing it with hel
teeth until she had opened it, when she
scattered the catnip around on the floor and
rolled over in it, apparently enjoying the
sport very much. Several gentlemen were
present during the entire affair, which last
ed probably half an hour; all say it was one
of the strangest occurrences they ever wit
nessed.-Rondom Freeman
