reduced to so cents; biographies by Carlyle,
Lamartine and Maeaulay reduced from 81 25 to
three cents-these remarkable contrasts caused
thousands who wished it might all be true to
think with the lady who frankly wrote to the
publishers: 81 read your advertisement, and
immediately set you down as grand swindle -
Of course such claims could not long be pre-.
sented without the real truth being discovered

Suicide apd lfob lar.

CGNCINEATI, Dec. 17.-It has been discovered
that Mrs. Ewald, who was burned in her
husbands barn this forenoon, committed sui
eide. She had revolver with her, and is
supposed she shot herself and set fire to the
straw. \ note was found from her saying she
was tired Of her troubles. She had been mar
ried but two months, had domestic trouble,
and her mind was unsettled.
A crowd of $50 to 200 men gathered i'll a
barn tonight TO lynch the negro Hicks, now
in Covington Jail, charged with the murder of
Henry Williams. Marshal Goodsen placed the
prisoner in the most secure cell in the Jail,
brought in his police force, fifteen men, and
aiming thsn heavily with revolvers, stationed
them so as to command the only entrance to
the Jail. Besides these he organized force of
fifteen citizens, armed with guns to patrol out
side the jail all night.
There has been a crowd Of people about the
Jail, gathered by curiosity to zee what might
happen. At midnight force from Ludlow,
armed in all conceivable ways, appeared at the
Jail and demanded the release of Hicks. The
marshal refused. No organized attack was
made, but few shots were fired and great eX-
citement aroused for time. The marshal, al
12:45, thought the Ludlow force would peace.
ably withdraw.
Reports from Covington at lis say the
crowd is dispensing and there is every indica.
ton that there will be no further trouble TO-
night.

FRIGHTFUL CASUALTY.
= Frantic Team and Fatal Results Narrow
ly Escaued

Gen. John A. Gibbon, colonel of
the Seventh United States infantry, sta
toned at Fort Smelling, the old COM
mander of the "Iron Brigade" in the first
years of the "late unpleasantness, met
with an exciting, and what came near be-
ing tragical occurrence, yesterday even.
ing: At a little after o'clock, the gen
eral driving his favorite team of bays
attached to a haf-open double-seated
carriage, with his man seated beside him,
and his wife and daughter on the
Third street, on his way home to the
Fort: Nearing the intersection of Market
and Third streets, the general turned his
horses to the right to pass an approach
ing street car. AS he did so the driver of
an unloaded hay wagon drove his team
into collision with the generals, starting
them into run. What occurred after
ward IS not exactly clear to the general or
the other occupants of the carriage,
though it apears that the frightened
horses broke diagonally across the
street, where they collided with a
stationary sleigh, overturning the car
riage and throwing all the occupants out.
Gen Gibbon, as was natural, retained his
hold Of the relns and was dragged some
distance, when he was obliged to lose his
hold, the horses about the same time
breaking loose from the carriage. Thus
released the horses ran up Third street to
in front of the Metropolitan, where they
were stopped, when it was discovered
that the horse on the off side, favorite
animal named s'Minnie," had suffered
a broken leg, the right fore arm from the
knee to the ankle joint being fractured
in several places.
In the meantime number of people
attracted to the spot had hastened to the
assistance of the occupants of the over
turned carriage. Mrs Gibbon, it seems,
was thrown forward on her face and right
side, cutting slight cash on her lower
lip, bruising her right shoulder, and CIV
ing her a general physical shock. She
was promptly conveyed to the Office of
DR.. sBrisbine, where the proper restora-
tives were applied, under the
effect Of which the lady soon
recovered sufficiently to allow of her
removal to the residence of Hon. Charles
d. Flandrau, for the night, it not being
thought advisable to attempt the journey
to the Fort in the shattered condition of
her nerves. The daughter, very singular
y, escaped without any injury, and the
General, though dragged several rods, had
only few slight bruises to show as the
result of the accident. The horse with
the broken leg was found so severely in
jured as to necessitate his being shot.

EXCITED CANuCKs.
They Are Protesting Against st. Paul
Building Then. q Railroad.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Dec. 1.-THE oppo.
sition members of the dominion parlia.
ment have issued manifesto to the peo-
pie of Canada, protesting against the salts
faction OF the governments proposed Pa
cific railway policy 1t sets forth that the
ministers withheld vital information pre-
venting discussion in the constituencies
and denied the right of the people to be
consulted on the scheme. The manifesto
comedies that the private construction of
the road, aided by grants of money and
land under certain restrictions, is in the
public interest, but present subsidies are
not in proportion to the work performed
The restrictions imposed are detrimental
to the country and future settlers. 1t
claims that the country is now face TO
face with great danger and with the last
opportunity of averting it. 1t recites the
terms of the syndicate and contract, and
maintains that the prairie section to Kam-
loops will cost double the governments
estimate of last session and that the COM
pany will monopolize the entire trade of
the Northwest until the year 1900. 1t
refers to the great corporations of. the
Northwestern States now contending for
this traffic, the proprietors of
one of which are interested in the present
contract. Itdeprecates the exemption of
the company'slan and rolling stock from
taxation for twenty years as giving an
unfair advantage and enabling the COM
pany to hold their lands until the value
is enhanced by settlement of other points.
That the government virtually gave the
contractors 7o6 miles already completed
by Canada, besides bonus of over fifty
millions in excess Of the estimated cost
1t considers the eastern or Lake Superior
section as unnecessary at present, and
favors the construction of the
Sault Ste Marie branch, as giving the
country two competing lines to draw the
product of the Northwestern States
through the Dominion, and urges parlia-
ment not to sanction the measure, en-
failing forty million increase Of the pub
lie debt. The finishing pretext is excess
i've taxation.

House.

The House morning hour was dispensed
with and the house went into committee of
the whole on the private calendar.
Some time was consumed in consideration
and discussion of the bill granting pension
to Wm. G. Parker, of West Virginia, who
though an employe of the Baltimore 6 Ohio
Railroad company, had been Injured while
acting under peremptory orders of the mill
tary commander. It was opposed on the
ground that it would be setting dangerous
precedent to grant pension to men who had
been on either army or navy rolls, but it was
finally laid aside for favorable report to House.
At $40 the committee rose, and the House
passed several bills granting pensions. On
motion of Mr.. Ainsley the bill passed amend

lSpeCidl IeleSTaHl 10 lne UlODe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Cables steady. Our
wheat market was to-day of just the very same
kind as yesterday, acting rather nervous, with
frequent fluctuations, firm especially at the top
and weak especially at the bottom. To cut q
long story short it was a splendid day for COW
ards to get whipsawed. With all the 1uctu-
ations the tendency was upward, as also the
closing was one cent higher than Yesterdays
closing. Most of the trading is local, and eul.
siders seem to be waiting for a more decided
tone before they pitch in. The spiders parlor,
however, is kept continually open with stand
ing irritation to the flies, and the spider can
well afford TO wait a little. The game will
como and get caught, well enough.
Corn and oats, more trading at prices Il
shade higher.
Provisions stronger and higher, the receipts
of hogs being unexpectedly small, only $4,000.
The stocks Of meats are very heavy according
to the inspector report to-day, but the smaller
receipts Of hogs to-day was more sufficient to
counterbalance this, showing that we have
very likely seen the lowest prices, for while.

The main cause of nervousness is indi-
