BA1LET's DEFAULT TO THE GOVERNMENT

MINISTER SEWARD IN A BAD WAY.
SAY FRANCISCO, September 24.--A Los
Angeles dispatch says: g. Wiley Wells
read letter from Colonel 1fosby, stating
before the name OF Bailey, late Consul at
Hong Kong, was sent to the Senate as Con-
sui-General at Shanghai, the Secretary OF
State was in possession OF Mosby's dispatch
charging Bailey with being defaulter to
the Government, with record evidence sus-
tanning the charge, and that not until Bal
ley's confirmation and part OF Mosby's dis
patch had been published did the Secretary
Of State take notice OF the charges. The De-
partment then sent General Stahl, OF the
consulate at Hiago, and friend OF Seward
and Bailey, TO investigate the truth OF the
charges made by Mosby. Stahl has con-
cIuded the investigation, and has been
obliged to report to the Department that
the charges are true: also that Stewards pri-
vate secretary. Holcomb, has written letters
to various officials in. China denouncing
Mosby; also that Seward was using bis in
fuence to shield Bailey and to prevent an
Investigation. There is also evidence to
show that Bailey was placed at Shanghai to
cover.Seward's tracks.

Shocking Tragedy i'm Connecticut.
AREcToR SHOT BY HIS WIFE.

BRIDGEPORT, CT, September PA shock
ing tragedy occurred in the quiet village OF
StratIord this morning. Rev. David l..
Lounsbury, rector Of Christ church, was
SHOT by his wife as he lay asleep and in
stantlv killed. A coroner's Jury was sum-
moned. and assembled at o'clock A. NJ.
Mary Cummings, 4 servant, testified that
she has lived in the family seven weeks;
the relations of the husband and wife were
exceptionally pleasant; she knew Mrs.
Lounsbury to be an invalid. Mrs. Louns-
bury bad remarked to witness the previous
night, saying Mr. Lounsbury desired her to
have an operation performed. but she had
refused. and asked II he could make her,
when he replied, "If you don't | will put
YOU out" | heard noise about $50
O'Clock went to the door and met Mrs.
Lounsbury, who said:
"1HAvE KILLED MY HUSBAND"
Annie May, Il bright girl Of eleven years,
the only child OF the deceased, was awaken
ed by the noise OF revolver. She went
down stairs and shook her father, then
dressed and went for a physician. Her
mother had been more i'll than usual tine
previous evening. DR.. y. 5. Allen probed
the wound and aSc"rtaincd that the ball had
entered the base OF the brain two inches be-
low the occipital protubcrance and an inch
TO the left OF the mcdial liue, passing
obliqucly upward. Tie pistol was cheap
thirty-two revolver. From lady II lend OF
the family and members OF the parish it was
learned that Mrs. LounSbury purchased the
revolver in New Haven Il year ago on ac.
count OF timidity consequent upon an at
tempt TO burglarlZe the house. She had con-
ccaled the KNOWLEDGE OF its purchase from
her husband. She is a lady Of very full
habit, and subject to rllshcs OF blood to the
head. She remembers having IN attack of
that kind in the night. The deceased arose
and got her d,ink OF water, after which
she recollects nothing until the decd was
done. She is = sufferer also from neu-
ralgia. Mr.. Lounsbrry was nearly thirty
six years OF age, and graduate OF Trinity
College. Mr.. and Mrs. LounSbury have
been located at Stratford for Il year and a
hail. during which time the rector made
many friends, but his wife not being in the
habit OF receiving callers is almost stran-
ger to the members Of the parish. She
is very much Frustrated by the shock,
and declines to converse, not knowing
what to say. There is said To have been in
sanity in her family. There seems to bc lit
tie ground for doubt that the deed was done
during fit OF temporary insanity caused by
bodily disease and excitement incident to
the proposed operation, to which she OBJ
iccted. The coroner's jury rendered 4 ver-
dict that the deceased came to his death by
a pistol-shot in the bands OF his wife, the act
being committed during a condition OF tenn
porary arrangement OF mind, occasioned by
disease.

THE WHEAT SQUEEZE IN CHICAGO CHI
cagO. September 23.-There was Il continued
upward movement of prices on 'Change to-.
day, wheat making the most decided adj
vance. November sold as high as 10Slc.
during the afternoon, and closed strong nj
Il shade less than the best prices. Although
prices have advanced daily for two weeks,
with no retrograde movement Of conse-
quencc, the result has not been disastrous
except in three cases on 'Change until to-
day. when several small operators sus-
pended: but the total amount Of their liza
bilities will barely reach $4,000. Prices are
also strong, with decidedly buoyant feel
ing, which is most marked in pork and
short-ribs. Farmers appear to be holding
back their supplies for better prices.

Miss Alice Oates will present in this
city on New Years night, the splendid
little opera "La petit due" The Nash
vile "Banner" says AT the an
nouucement of this play (La Petit Due,
rush began at once for reserved
seats, and Miss Alice Oates and troupe
were in consequence greeted by one Of
the largest and most select audiences
that have assembled at the Masonic
Theatre this season. The company is
large one, and comprises some most
excellent talent. The costumes are
rich, and appropriate in design, to the
chara cters to be represented. The
choruses are remarkably good, particu
larly' the male portion of them.
Whatever may be said of opera boutfe

musical rs we'll as moral taste, still it
never fails to attract and whether the
music be as seductive and easily caught
by the ear as is the case with much of
Offenbach's operas and Lecocq's
Madame Angot, or less melodious as the
Little Duke, for instance, there is a
snap of naivete about it, a complete
ness of purpose, and an expressive
ness which hold the audience in charm
ing suspense and delight all the while.
