murder Of her husband. laet April. This will

them that two men were In the house. for the
purpose of robbery,a she feared they would
murder her husband; and that upon the
neighbor going to the house with her, Weisher
was found dead with two bullet wounds upon
bis body. investigation led to the
arrest and indictment Of the wife
and sbe Is now on trial. The case
promises to be quite an interesting one, rs
all evidence Is circumstaptial. The other is
the case of Thomas O'Connor, charged with
the murder Of Lawrence Vaughan at that
time, by stabblng him in the abdomen, In the
night, after calling him out of his house, and
who after committing the deed, fed. and was
within day or two arrested near the village
Of Waterville. The case of Mrs. Weis,er is
now before the court. The regular panels o
Jurors has been exhausted and only three iu.
rors secured. The sheriff is now out with q
special venire for atty persons. from which it
is expected to secure the other nine jurors to

Chicago Short On Feel,


A Chicago telegram Of Nov. "a. has
the following: Interviews by the Tribune
With coal dealers, shows that there 10 great
and somewhat alarming scarcity of coal In
the city. The difficulty lies in the f,ct that
the early closing Of navigation on the lake
has stopped many vessels bound for this port
coal laden, and that the railroads are utterly
unable to furnish cars to transport fuel.
When coal men ask for l0u cars they receive
one or two, perhaps none. The heaviest deal.
cts say unprecedented orders are coming In
from city and country, and they could clear
out their stock in thirty days if they all.d
all orders. The price Of sofs coal rose one.
haf dollar per ton to-day, and hard coal will
follow unless arrivals by land or water come
soon. The frost blockade which extends n.
most the entire distance from here to the sea.
board on all 'iDes. Is unprecedented, and DIES
not give much hope OF speedy relief fro m tn
present dilemma.

Suicide Of Pascal Smith.


A cable dispatch Of Nov. cath from
Paris, France, reads as follows: "rhe body of
Pascal Smith, a millionaire merchant, of st.
Paul, Minn., has been found of Marseiles'
coast. He arrived at Marseilles with his wife
and son, the 10Th inst, and next evening he
was missed, and is supposed to have drowned
himself" The sad death Of Mr.. Smith will not
greatly surprise those who were aware of his
mental and physical condition. From having
been an active selfreliant, ,enterprising man of
business, such ae he was through most of bis
life, he had within 4 few years become broken

The symptoms Of mental weakness and de-
preston shown in his case before he left home
rendered It probable that acute melancholy
was developed, leading to his suicide. Mrs.
Smith and their married son are the only sur
viving members Of the family. Two daugh-
ters, grown to womanhood. have died since
the family removed to St PsuI. Mr.. Smith

Gen. Hancocks letter to Gen. Sherm an, writ
ten In December 1876, on the subject OF the
then pending presidential controversy, Is made
public. This letter was forced from its place
among Gen. Sherman'5 private papers by the
allegation that the democratic candidate under
the seal OF confidential correspondence, had
uttered reasonable sentiments; that he had
avowed his purpose TO recognize Tilden as the
lawfully elected President, in the event that
Inc democratic House OF Representatives should
declare him such. The assertion OF Gen. Sher-
man that Hancock had never written him let

something in IL damaging to the opposition
candidate, and the result has been the publ
cation OF the entire letter. In this communi-
cation Gen. Hancock discussed the then presi-
Dental situation from democratic standpoint,
but there is nething whatever In 1t that Is not
consistent with loyalty and devotion to the
country. Whatever else may be said about
Hancock, ii cannot be doubted that he Is as
loyal to the union as any patriot who shed his
blood In It's cause.

AT the annual meeting OF the New jersey
State Dental Society. recently, 1t was agreed
that the use OF an;eSthetic5 has become en-
tirely too general In the profession. Dentists In
their anxiety TO acquire practice advertise to
extract teeth without pain, which means that
the patient is to be placed under the influence
of anesthetics Progressive dentists are be.
ginning to condemn this practice and to insist
that an@sthetics shall only be used in perform
Ing exceedingly painful operations. The lead
Ing surgeons OF the land are also taking de-
eided stand against the frequent use of chloro-
form and ether. The fnd1scriminate use Of
these drugs has caused death In numerous
cases and shattered systems In others. The
opinion that anRsthet1cs should only be used In
cases where the operation is so painful and pro-
traeted that the patient might otherwise die
under it, is becoming popular among surgeons,
Physicians and dentists.

The attempt to get up a compromise cleo

Roadway week or two ago, but on the whole

leaders OF the two factions detest and distrust
each other in about equal proportions, and that
IL any compromise is effected it will be because
OF an imperative demand to that effect by the
Democratic masses. The Teadjuster leaders
doubtless fear. and rightly, that If they aban-
don their distinct and aggressive organization
they will never be able again to rally their
party. The funders, or their leaders. appear to
