PARIs, July 97.-The reports sent to
America OF the suicide Of Mrs. Annie Wet
more, the divorced wife Of a citizen Of
New York, at the. residence of the divorced
English wife Of Lord Albert Pelham Clin-
ton, in this city, are likely to become the
subject OF serious judicial investigation.
There appears to be no reason whatever
TO suppose the unfortunate Mrs. We'more
committed suicide at sll, her death being
officially reported a. caused bv congestion
OF the brain. The story Of the suicide is
now believed to have been eonCocted by q
CLIQUE Of persons here Of various national-
ties, hut OF one social class, in the hope of
extorting hush money from the conspiCu-
ous foreigner formerly acquainted win
Mrs. Wetmore. The painful story and de-
tails probably throw very unpleasant
light on certain aspects Of the PRESS i'll the

THE DEMoCRArIc LYRE.
The Game Now NBeing Played by DEM
ocrntIe NeMspapers.


NRw YoRx, July 27.-The Tribune says
of the Worlds fabrication in regard to JUS
tice Swayue:
at is not by any means certain that the
game Of lying for jack-kniie will be won
BY the Western Democratic press after all.
The competition is very brisk, and the
prospect now Is that before the campaign
IL over some Of the biggest lying on record
will be registered. But II the game is to
tell the lie most easy to dad out, there Is 4
most uncommonly good chance for the
knife's adorning the desk in New York
Democratic newspaper office.
After recapitulation OF the World 'Sstoty,
the article continues:
"Now, no newspaper not engrossed in
the fascination OF lying for q jack-knite,
would ever have published story so ab-
surd upon its face, without making some
effort TO ascertain the truth about it. And
any newspaper that was not reaching out
desperately for the knife would, upon be.
ing convinced Of its falsity, hasten to make
the correction. 1t would do this, not only
from regard for the appearance OF COM
mon honesty, but, as matter OF policy,
from the common sense view that q party
discovered resorting to such desperate and
baretaced falsehoods would be injured by
it, The World, however continues the i'm
plication that Judge Swayne did use the
language falsely asCribed to him, and
treats it as though the only question were
in what particular case itoCCurred. Let
us endeavor to get the run Of the game.
The credit OF inventing this tale belongs
to the World newspaper. So far it Is ahead.
But it weAkens so far as to say there is a
question as to time and place. 1t is not
impossible that other Democratic news
papers, which have copiedit, will stick toit
through thick and thin as it stands, That
will raise the question whether the in
ventor OF the lie or the one who sticks to
it the hardest wins the knife. Meantime
the game goes on, and the newspaper that
wins should be the party's official organ,
or, il not organ, at least its recognized
Tyre"
PHILADELPHIA. July 27.-The BlAistiH
says: "If the Ananias who has been en-
gagged for the campaign by the Democratic
party wishes to be really serviceable, he
should confne hia efforts solely to the
production OF humorous falsehoods about
Garfield. That story Of his, for example
about Garfield burning Bibles and Metho-
dist hymn books was ingenious and anus.
ing, and nobody took the trouble to con-
tradictit. But when the Ananias begins
to construct malignant falsehoods like that
in which he attributes an assertion OF Jim
Doolittle's to Judge Swayne Of the Su-
preme Court, he is always sure to be CON-
bounded by contradictory evidence, and he
hurts bis employers more than hG helps
them. The comic line is certainly the best
for him.

ication. The Sheriff refused him admit
tanee while the crowd remained. They
fell back few feet and another formal de-
mand being made, slight demurr was
made by the deputy sheriff. This was the
signal for assault, and the door was broken
In, despite the resistance OF the Sheriff.
While the door was being forced quite a
melee occurred with the officers, and even
after Diggs had been brought out in open
air, the Sheriff made another attempt to
rescue his prisoner, but he was caught and
held. In his struggles he received cut
on the arm.
The crowd then hurried Diggs on, his
ankle irons clanking as he was forced
down the road at quick trot. He seemed
quite calm, and said he was willing to die.

" ORDER NO. io.-
To be Used nv n Campaign Document by
the Republicans.


WAsHINaToN, July 27.-The National
Committee are soon TO issue document
containing Gen. Hancock's "Order No.
49," with full history OF the condition Of
affairs in Louisiana at the time Of Sheri-
dams removal and subsequent to Han
cocks assuming command. The history
will be almost entirely official, embracing
not only reports from Gen. Sheridan, but
ether well known military authorities. 1t
will show that Sheridan acted vigorously,
and had well nigh asserted the power Of
the nation over the rebels who were stri-
wing to regain political power. 1t is then
shown clearly that when Hancock took
command all the good work OF Sheridan
was at once undone, aud the old rebels
were conciliated and placed in power.
The construction which the old rebel
element placed on bis order is shown TO
have been that its purpose was to place
them more at the political head OF affairs
in Louisiana.
