Especial Telegram to the Globe.
EAST ST.. Louis, ILL.,, April 12.-East st.
Louis furnishes its periodical sensation. A
boot and shoe maker named Harrison
Cornwall, who lived with his wife on the
corner of Main and Railroad streets, died
very suddenly about three weeks ago. The
death became the subject of gossip among
the women of the neighborhood in which
the mau lived. One of them finally asked
Mrs. Cornwall how it was her husband died
so very suddenly, and without the neighbors
knowing anything about it. Mrs. @. replied
that she didn't know what the cause of his
death was, but remarked casually that her
husband became quite sick few hours be-
fore he died, soon after he had drank some
tea that she made for him. She thought,
however, that his sudden illness was oc-
casioned by tobacco leaves that had got
mixed up with dry tea, but she had no idea
that his death occurred through any such
cause. Cornwall had shoe maker en-
ploye named Jno. N. Dethloff, who, after
the death of his employer, lived with Mrs.
Cornwall as her only companion, to the
scandal of the people. A few days ago they
we're married, and yesterday Mrs. G. was
arrested on the charge of poisoning her
former husband, and Dethloff was arrested
as an accessory.

Gambetta.
M. Gambette keeps growing fat. Som
five or six months ago Sir Phillip Cunlih
, Owen gave him the friendly advice to live O
shilling day and earn it by walk of fou
miles, and the then president of the fnanc
committee set to work heartily, walkin
every day from the Chausec d'Antin to Viii
d'Avray on his way to Versailles. Unfortu
nately the fact was soon ventilated and
, perfect host of applicants began to walk i
: the track of the coming man, so that b
7 seemed to lead an army against til
legislature. AS he was looking for
: more genial chance of exercising h
u muscular powers he was elected I
: the presidency of the chamber and took b
8 abode at the Palais Bourbon. This above
J, him to walk his four miles on footpath
u bitumen-round the uninapeachable lawn
. the presidential garden-one of the prettie
u of the rice gauche. Here a new objectie
|, arose, however-monotony. 1t is all ve
q well for Weston to walk five hundred mil
10 around the Agricultural hall; but when OF
is not professional and has not the enth
siastic applause of an enlightened audien
to keep up his feelings the game is rath
tame after while. Thus it is that M. Gar
d BETA was induced to join the Alpine club.
