CLEVELAND, November 23.-To.day tho
will OF the late Mrs. Susan b. Whitman
was admitted TO probate. She was the
widow Of once prominent banker, and
her character was that Of an exceedingly
peculiar and independent person. For
the last ten years she had lived Mt the
Forest City House, and was known as the
Diamond Widow" from the fact that she
never appeared without large diamond ear
rings, big pin, and n number Of rings up
on her hands. About year ago she be-
came posed OF the idea that within II year
she would die. Last spring she went TO
Europe with lady friend, and six weeks
ago they were in Paris and had purchased
tickets for Rome. Suddenly she conceived
that she was near her end, and without
further ado she started back home alone.
She arrived three weeks ago, and was
taken i'll and died last Monday OF COM
plication OF diseases. She was sixty years
OF age. When she was first taken i'll she
said she would die in few days. Remov-
ing her diamonds, she gave them TO II
friend, saying they were not the proper
things to be buried in. A costly Camel's
hair shawl which with other elegant
goods she had brought back with her, was
similarly bestowed. She then left direc-
tions Ms to the disposition OF her body, re-
questing modest funeral. Shelcft all her
property, except u portion that went TO
her husbands surviving brother to her
agent and old friend, Miller Spangler, who
gets about $50. 600,

QUEBEC, CANADA, November 23.-The
storm early this morning was attended
with disastrous results in the region OF
Quebec and tho lower st. Lawrence.
From an hour before midnight till four
o. clock the wind blew perfect hurricane,
throwing down old out.hOuses in the city,
unroOting buildings, aud throwing chin
ncv.pots and windOw.shuttcrs madly
through the streets
On the river limo battcaus filed with
cor,l-woOd were broken to pciccs against
the city Wharvcs. The furious waves tore
the huge pontoOn OF the st. Lawrence
Steam Navigation Company from its moor
ings, and droveit up the stream, an in
strllmcnt Of destruction to whatever cnne
in its way. II dashed into the market
steamers Dixie, from st. Nicholas, and the
Lot Bincerc, which lay, with several 9TH
or markct.stcamers ut Champlain Market
Wharf, filed with valuable freight OF farm
and dairy produce for the city markets,
and belonging to the French. Canadian
country farmers. Tho steamer was broken
to fragments, the Captain and crew saving
their lives, with extreme difficulty. AZ
daylight nothing but the overturned hull
Of the Dsxie anda number Of splinters rc-
mained TO bc seen. The freight, consist
ing OF potatoes, butter, eggs, meat, &C., is
ali ut tho bottom, and being grappled for.
Tho Dixie is said TO be the property ofMr
l.abelc, and is uninsured.
The beams OF tho steamer Express arc
badly injured, and other steamers moorcd
at the same place suffered moro or less.
The pontoon sunk half mile further NJ

Co., narrowly escaping running into The
mail steamship Sardinia, which sailed
for Europe today.

CIScISSArI, November 23.-The local
money market is running along without
friction and little acCcleration in speed.
Borrowers who go TO bank with the right
kind OF security are freely met, and sup
Piled with their full requirements at Ga7
per cent, which are low rates OF interest
Tor this season OF the year, rs compared
with previous years. There is rather more
currency being sent to tho interior, osten-
sibly to move the hog crop, but the aggrc-
gate amount is not large and will not ex-
Ceed the influx from the country, and il
there is any difference it is in favor Of tho
city rather than the country. The calls
for pork packing have hardly commenced,
hut are looked for soon, and bankers hav-
ing line OF such accounts are in readi-
ness 10 supply the required sums when
ample security is given. In the open mar
ket the offerings OF business paper in
considerable, though ready sale can be had
at 6a7 per cent for Al double names, and
single names, backed by iirst.clRss mixed
securities sell at 5a6 per cent. Call loans
arc negotiated at 8 per cent, with Governs
ments or equally good securities rs collat-
cnl, and sometimes n guarantee given
against call within tlrty days.

PlrrsBuRGm, November 23.--It was sup
posed several days ago that perhaps an
amicable settlement could bearrived at be-
tween the glass manufacturers and their
men by means OF arbitration. A promi-
ncnt manufacturer said this morning that
there had been no possible chance given
by the men for an arbitration. Last Sun
day the strikers passed resolution for
bidding the men from visiting their en-
ploycrs, or even being seen about the fac
tories. The men held meeting which
was in session on Wednesday afternoon,
all OF Thursday, and on Friday morning;
but they, did not send any message to the
manufacturers, who held their meeting on
Friday afternoon, and who waited until
four o'clock in hope Of hearing from the
strikers. To-day the matter was definitely
settled for tho present. Eleven factories
put out their fires this morning, and their
owners will wait until tho strikers come to
terms. There is some talk OF introducing
Chinese laborcrs into the factories, but
nothing positive has been concluded rs
yet. The following rccapitulation will
give some idea Of tho magnitude OF the
strike, so far rs dollars and cents are con-
ccrned: Wages per month, SOS, $50; pAck.
ages, $4,000; coal and coke, 5000; sand,
81, $50; soda ash, $1,000; pots, $4,000
Total, $l00,090. The strike embraces
every flint glass house in the city with two
exceptions. These two arc Bakewcll,
Pears & Co., and the 0'lIara Glass Works.

ZASEsTILLE, November 23.-Geo. John
son called at Dicks Hotel at o'clock Fri
day afternoon and engaged room, with
fire, saying he and the lady who accom-
panied him, whom he represented as his
wife, would remain until next day. They
remained in their room most OF the after
noon, when they went out, and told Mr..
Dick that they would be back soon. About
0 o'clock they returned, and ordered q
pitcher OF cider sent to their room. They
seemed to be very comfortably situated,
and taking matters Gasy, soon retired, per
haps, Mr.. johnson TO dream OF his wife
and children, whom he has so cruelty de-
serted, and the woman, Mrs. Maple, pro-
bably trembling with fear to think OF the
devoted husband she was SO greatly de.
cciying at their once happy home in our
neighboring town OF Cambridge.
They had retired but n few moments
when loud rap ut their door, by an in
iuriated husband, demanding admittancc,
was heard, who had suspected that some
thing more than visit TO her relatives had
brought his wife TO this city. Mr.. Maple,
the partner OF the said johnson in the
grocery business at Cambridge, arrived in
town on the evening from Cambridge,
and Immediately called ut the residence Of
the friends wife, and was informed that
Mr.. johnson and she had gone up town.
He (Maple,) smelling q mice, at once
skirmished around, and found Mr.. john
son was stopping at Dicks Hotel. lie
went there, telling Mr.. Dick that he had
urgent business with Mr.. johnson, and
to bc shown 10 his room. Mr..
Dick informed Maple that johnson and
his wife had retired, but il it was really
necessary he would go and tell him that a
gentleman wanted to see him; but Maple
insisted on being shown TO Johnson's
room, Mr.. Dick showing him the way TO
No. 4. Maple burstcd the door open, found
the partner of his ten, coffee, sugar &c.,
putting on his pants, while the partner OF
Ills (Maple's) household joys and sorrows
was lying in bed, having on the clothing
usually worn by ladies' i'll retirement.
Mr.. Maple ut once created sensation by
TO borrow n revolver, &c. The
noise brought Mr.. Dick and others about
the house to the scene. and with difficulty
prevented the outraged husband from
an act OF violence upon either
his wife or ller vile seducer. Mrs. Maple, in
n very feeling manner, declared it was the
first time that she had dishonored her
VOWS, and begged to be taken
back home. Mr.. Dick at once ordered all
The parties to leave his house. Mr.. Maple
procured the names OF the witnesses pres
ent, saying he would Immediately sue for
l divorce. All the parties connected with
this disgraceful affair stand high in social
circles ut Cambridge.

The Hon. John A. bingham, Minister
to Japan, arrived in the city at noon yes.
terday, and is stopping at the residence OF
the Rev. S. r. Frazier, his son-in.law. It
will be remembered that Mrs Frazier died
suddenly few months ago, and this visit
cannot be else than painful to her dis
tinguished father. 1t Is presumed that he
will remain in the city several days
Mr., Bingham expresses himself well sat
isfcd with his residence in Toxic, the
Capital Of Japan, although he prefers
America to any other country under the
sun. He says that there is IN English
speaking population OF about three hun
dred persons ut the Capital, and thnt these
people constitute pleasant little society.
lie declined to offer any criticisms upon
the Japanese people. Having been asked
about the report that he would be q can
dlntc for Governor OF Ohio next year,
Mr. Bingham said: "lhayenot been con;
suited in reference TO this matter, and
while have no doubt that the announce;
ment was made in friendly spirit, l
have no desire or purpose TO enter into
