The four men arrested in a wool car
a few days ago were released yesterday
at request of the railroad officials. They
were not the men they were supposed
to be, and, so far as is known, We're
guilty of nothing worse than stealing a
ride.

Accused by his wife Of Tapping the
Affections of n WashingtOn Widow.
From the yirginia Chronicle.


last, the inmates Of the hotel were
startled by series of piercing screams
issuing from the upper levels of the ho-
tel. "Murder - E" Help" and such
startling calls resounded through the
long drifts. Mr.. Hanak, springing into
the elevator, gave the signal for the
quick hoist. At the same time there
was general rush of guests up stairs.
Bell-boys, walters, cooks, ladies' and
loungers went pell- mp the winding
avenues Mr.. Storer, the clerk, who
had just come on to take charge of the
evening shift, attempted to quell the
excitement, but found it impossible to
do so.
THE SCENE OF THE TURMOIL
Proved to be in an ore-chamber on the
west crosscut running along the south
wall of the hotel, occupied by a pretty
brunette widow lately from Washing
ton.
The first person who reached the spot
found Mrs Sutro vigorously hammering
the widow on the head with cham
paign bottle. About dozen people
rushed into the apartment and found
Mrs. Sutro, who appeared to be bossing
the work at that time, in state of
frenzied excitement. She began to hurl
epithets upon the widow, and denounced
her to the crowd as "dirty trollop"
who had alienated the affections of her
husband The party thus alluded to.
was endeavoring to explain, but the
furious wife continued the denuncia-
tions of her husband until nearly every
person in the hotel was in the hallway.
ASSAYS FROM THE ORE CHAMBER.
During the fifteen minutes of this sin
gnlar scene Sutro stock sold at remark
ably low figures, and closed groggy at
the end OF the call Mrs. Sutro told
several of the crowd that she had caught
the widow in bed with her husband,
and called every one in to look at the
condition of the ROOM A number of
experts examined the indications, and
reported that the eap-rock of the bed
did not bear out the assertions of Mrs.
Sutro, as it had the appeasance of be-
ing undisturbed. Mrs. Sutro appeared
anxious to throw the whole mine open
to the fullest inspection, and wanted
stockholders, qualified and unqualified,
to come in and look at the stope. All
who availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity-and their names We're legion
said they could see nothing to warrant
an immediate deal.
SURPRISING INFORMATION.
Mrs. Sutro continued to deliver to an
enraptured audience a series of lectures
on the subject which were as exhaus-
tive and complete as the celebrated
calcium discourses delivered by her
husband some years ago on the tunnel.
Just as the discourse had reached the
climax of interest some friends of the
family came in and took the mother
away, putting their hands over the old
lady's mouth and cutting off her speech.
This attempt to suppress information
was denounced as an outrage by every
body. Mrs. Sutro was taken to the
cooling station on the level below and
there began to smash furniture at
lively rate.

OTHER RUM0RS.

There are numbers of people who just
as strenuously assert that the whole affair
was scene kicked up by Mrs. Sutro to
humiliate her husband, and done out of
revenge for refusing TO give her a $500, :
600 residence in Oakland. The widow
is claimed to be a person of unquestion-
ably respectable connections, and her
friends assert that she never met Mr..
Sutro until few weeks ago, when in
company with party of ladies and gem
tlemen visiting the tunnel

SUTR0 DRIFTING IN.

At this iuncture Mr.. Sutro came
down the hall appearing like a stock
holder in search of points, and dealing
with an uncertain market. He drfted
into his wife's room, but soon came out
as though he had encountered more hot
water than the biggest sub-drain ever
constructed could handle. Those who

the house is the wall papering. This IL of dead
gold. dashed with green and while under the tull
blaze of the chandeliers it eits glare but makes
pleasant field for the eye to rest upon.
The point par erceueace which Mr.. Daily has
achieved IN the reconstruction OF the theatre IS
rendering ii exempt from the possibility of life
being lost of cry of fire. He has had such
painful experience Of fires that he is keenly alive to
whatever suggests itself useful precaution.
There separate entrances to the separate parts of
the theatre and all are constructed with eye to
giving abundant room for escape to panic
stricken crowd. Even If a fire broke out
on the stage there is room in the lobbies
up stairs and down stairs for nearly the whole au-
dience to retire to and view the conhagration
spectacular display not entered in the programme.
There are four distinct lengths OF hose and be-
meath the stage as provision in of fire. The
stage is fitted with sinks traps. bridges and all the
paraphernalia required to enable the management to
produce at any time spectacular performance The
floors OF the scene room and carpenters room are
laid in Portland cement, an additional precaution
against the great horror present to Mr.. Days
mind. The theatre will open for the season on
Wednesday evening.

TRADE DEPRESSION AND ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE
IT-pRoposED REDUCTION OF DUTIES.
MoSTEvIDEo. August 49, 1879.
The President has sent message to the Assembly
General setting forth the depressed state of trade
and the unreasonable depreciation Of property. and
the of Legislative to assist the powers
of the country the difficulties OF the sit
uaCion He attributes those difficulties to the reck-
less expansion of trade and expenditure during
the period of great prosperity that attended the
progress of the Paraguayans and for some time
afterward, owing to the large expenditures OF
the Brazilians and to the importance acquired
by Montevdeo centre OF supplies.
In regard to the proposed reductions Of the import
tariff the chief provisions as follows:-The
duties imports paying over fifteen per cent Will
be reduced, from August l. $780, half per cent
month until the reductions amount to five per cent.
Besides this obligatory reduction the Executive will
have power to continue the reduction whenever the
state Of the finances permits but the reduction IL
when the highest rate OF the general duties.
excluding the special ones, falls to fifteen cent.
As exception the above rules the reductions on
articles now paying 80, 25 20 aud 1S per cent must
stop when the duties. exclusive OF the special
The measures proposed are indubitably wise ones
and will do good. but the great depression OF the
Montevdean trade has another chief cause than that
assigned by the President. 1t Is in great part due to
the fact that Montevideo is ceasing to be the
emporium of the Plate waters. as European steamers
now ascend regularly to Rosario and occasionally to
Asuncion, and the Parana towns arc now able to
order direct from Europe, and even via Bio from the
United States. In fact. Montevdeo has ceased per-
haps forever, to be the commercial capital OF the
River Plate. The almost general failure or the
pasturage. owing to the untmely drought ct tho

ST. THOMAS August n. 1879.
Under date of the Goth inst. comm unication from
Jacmel says:-'.The country is In full revolution.
The Peruvian government is weak. General Louis
Tanisane is the most formidable candidate for tho
Presidency. The national party st Jacmel is about
taking up arms to maintain his candidacy. The
Haytien steamers Arioro and Roviuone were cap

forces attacked Gonaves on the l7th. and
after bloody battle the town was set
on fire by both parties. On the 10Th
another fire broke out, occasioning loss
estimated ut $500 O00." Another correspondent
