ccrned, though there is a marked falling off
in the demand for -four, grain, etc, and in
fact almost all articles for which our MGR
chants find a market in the South The
prevalence of the yellow fever at New Or
leans and Memphis and at several points in
Mississippi has had a bad effect upon the
market here, and IN some respects trade is
practically at stand still.
So far we have had no fever here and
with thorough quarantine and liberal
use Of disinicctants, our people feel conf
dent that we will not have any. Reports
that the fever has made its appearance here
are untoundcd and without even the shadow
of truth in them The weather is warm,
though not oppressive, and cool and re-
freshing breeze has prevailed for the last
week.

New York Cor. of the Chicago Times.l
The Vanderbilts do not often figure
in the society of New York. They
have their own society set, but it is
mostly made up of their business as
sociates and personal cronies, and
their little family parties are not Of
the sort that get into the papers as the
events Of the social season, They are
seldom or never seen in the brilliant
affairs where the Astors, Lorillards,
the Stevenses and others of their set
are the conspicuous attractions. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, the son of William
H., is the only member of the family
whose nameis often seenin connection
with any social, literary or art enter
prise. lie took an active part in get;

of Design, Hehas imported a number
of expensive paintings, and has a num-
Der of literary friends, among them
Augusta Evans, the well-known nov
elist Of the South, who was recently
his guest here for several weeks. Be
sides railroads, William II. is mostly
addicted to fast horses and the opera
The recent addition to his stable cost
him $4,000, and his trotting
stock now rivals the famous string Of
Robert Bonner, whose stable he has
long envied, and which he determined
to equal or surpass when the death of
the old commodore gave his sporting
proclivities opportunity for a full
swing. He and Bonner often meet on
the boulevards, but, although Wander
bilt is forever challenging his friends
to trial of speed, he has never yet
thrown down the guantlet for Bonner
to pick up. Possibly he thinks it
would make too much newspaper talk.
1t ism very generally known that the
grand jury of New York county were
asked a few days ago to indict Mr..
Vanderbilt for murder in the first de-
gree. One morning last summer Mr..
Vanderbilt was spinning over the
Bloomingdale road behind Small
Hopes and his mate, when drunken
lahoring man stepped in the way, and
before Mr.. Vanderbilt could rein ur
his team, the man was Knocked down,
and sustained injuries of which he
finally died. His family refused Mr,
Vanderbilts offer to pay for the medi.
cal attendance and funeral expenses
and, although the coroner's jury ac-
quilted the blame, they procured coun.
sci and did their utmost to have the
fast driver indicted for murder. Last
week the grand jury took the matter
up, and after looking over the coro-
ner's evidence, threw out the com.
plant.

Thompson and Evarts to be the guest
Of Rear Admiral Patterson during the

he may desire. The invitation was

Presidency may have weakened them
selves, and his friends can then tell

AN OHIO TRAGEDY.
A Young Man Shoots the Father Of His
FianCe.

CINCINNATI, December 6. - The
unusually quiet little village of Ger
mantown, thirty-fve miles north of
Cincinnati, is greatly excited over the
killing, by George Leichty, clerk of
the Germantown Hotel, Of George U.
Shaeffer, a citizen of the place, though
employed as salesman in dry goods
house in this city. Shaeffer's wife and
daughter, the latter an attractive young
lady, had been to Cincinnati few days
since, and going home fell into conyer-
sation with two CincinnatiyOung men,
who had been in the neighborhood
hunting. After taking supper at the
hotel these young men went out into
the town ION lark, as they said
and soon found the residence of the
ladies. The house is modest struc-
ture, fronting on the street, and the
young men attempted for some time to
attract the attention of the inmates by
tapping on the windows. Not succeed
ing in that attempt they went to the
front door, demanding sdmittance,
when Liechty, who is affianced to the
daughter, apperred and drove them
away, giving them both some pretty
severe blows. ha
AN EXCITED FATHER.
The circumstance was published in
the Cincinnati papers yesterday, when
Shaeffer read it and at once began to
suspect the virtue of his wife anC
daughter, Last night he went home
and, becoming drunk, sought Liechty
charging that he had east suspicion
upon his family Leiohty denied i
Indignantly and the lie was passed
but they were parted before coming
to blows, A nephew of Shasffer wa
present, however, and persuaded
| Leichty to go around with him to tn,
house to protect Shaeffers family if h
should come home and abuse them.
A FATAL MEETING.
| An hour or so later Shaeffer cam
home and finding Leiehty there tn
quarrel was renewed, when Shaeffe
attempted to strike him with chai
and Leichty drew a revolver and fired
killing him almost instantly Leicht,
gave himself up to the officers AM

fined, for the murder of the man VIII

MIR. Lamar's Purpose for the Win
ter

ter.
WASHINGTON, December 6.-"Oh,
| am preparing no speech on the
Southern question" said Senator La
mar this afternoon, when asked how
he intended to treat the subject. " l
see that such report has been pub
lished and was noticed in the Tribune
of to-day, but it is a mistake. ! shall
give my attention almost exclusively
this winter to a subject that is of the
most vital importance to our people,
the protection of our country from
the terrible scourge of yellow fever.
That disease during the last summer
and fall has caused greater loss to
my State than war continuing the
same length of time would have done.
Not only have more lives been lost,
but the loss of property by the sus-
pension Of business and the derange-
ment of the machinery of production
has been greater You have no idea
of the suffering and something must
be done to prevent a repetition or the
white people will leave the country,
One disastrous effect of the fever, l
fear, will be to stop the tide of immi-
grafton into our State, especially from
the North, which had begun to be
very great.
" Do you favor National quaran-
tine law?" the senator was asked.
" | do, most assuredly, and not only
one that shall prevent the importation
of the disease from abroad, but one
which shall reach all through the in
terror, and prevent the spread of the
fever after it is here.
HDo you think that the introduc-
ton and spread of the disease can be
absolutely prevented by quarantine ?"
That isa difficult question to an
swer, was the reply. This year
complete non-intercourse protected
many places. There is no doubt that
the disease is transmissible by persons
and clothing, and it is not easy to pre-
vent it by local laws. There may be
some constitutional question involved
in the legislation VIC need, but our
people must have protection of some
kind. Our experience this last sum
mer shown that no condition of clean
illness or location viii insure com
munity from the fever if it is once in
troduced" "
Senator Lamar repeated that he
should devote his time and labor to
this subject, and that he has no pres
ent intention to speak on politics.
