A Cincinnati telegram of April saws:
The Western Associated Press dispatch from
Washington tonight, contains denial of
the story of ex-Congressman Vance's elope-
ment with handsome music teacher. The
denial is made upon the authority of Vance's
personal friends IN Washington, who claimed
to be advised of the woman's movements.
However the case may look at Washington.
circumstances at Col. Vance's home point
very strongly to woman in the case. The
Portsmouth Tribune, published in Vance's
district, says this week: "Close inquiry and,
comparison of notes have dissipated
the theory of his murder, and left very little
indicating suicide. 1t was found that Vance
had been borrowing money right and left,
and had adroitly managed every movement
from the time he left home, SO as to cover
his tracks, when he took the final lump in.

Joe Aleshire, after a thorough investigation,
that Vance had gone West, that he followed
on his trail as far as Kansas City, as far as
he heard, and gave the chase up and. re-
turned to Gallipolis. The simultaneous dis
appearance OF q handsome and fascinating
young music-teacher from Galipolis, with
the colonel's departure, gave momentum to
Madame Rumor, and public opinion
there have settled down in the be-
lief that Vance had become so infatuated
with the music-teacher as to sacrifice
everything for her, and that the twain have
disappeared with the intention of meeting on
some foreign shore or in some remote and
hidden bower. difficulty occurred year
ago between Col. Vance and his wife about
this same woman, but suspicion was allayed,
and peace temporarily restored. We make
these announcements the Tribune says,
'swith regret, and still hope there may be
some explanation of the mystery-facts that
will relieve the colonel at once of all dis
honorable imputation, It is almost beyond
our comprehension how an intelligent man,
honored in public and respected in private
as he has been, with such brilliant career
before him, could be SO tempted as to sac

Brutal Sport in Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 6.-This section
has been somewhat excited during the past
few days over the proposed combat Of an Afri-
can ioness and a Texas bull. The first fight
happened to-day, just outside the city limits,
between the lioness and an immense Texas
bull. The loness had been starved to increase
her ferocity. 1t was overdone, and left her
weak, and entirely at the mercy of the bull,
which in about ten minutes had well nigh
gored her to death. The lioness had but one
hold on the bull at the beginning of the con-
test. Tomorrow a lion will be allowed oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself with the same
bull. He is said to be in prime condition, and
very ferocious.
