The late Mrs. Grote, as a girl was
so strong and high-spirited that she
was called "the empress" She rode
without Il saddle, and went to sea in
fisherman's boat alone with hersister.
She made a kind of 4 runaway match
with the historian. After being ell
gagged to him for two years she grew
tired of waiting for her fathers con-
sent, and one March morning she
slipped away to Il neighboring church,
got married without any one knowing,
and came back to breakfast as if
nothing had happened. Sydney Smith
once thus clcvcrly described Mrs.
Grote and her husband: II do like
them both so .mucl,. for he is so lady,
like, and she is such a perfect gentle
man."-Exchange. -.-~--,
And a happier match never has
been known in history. When the
history Of the Great Loves shall be
written, the story of Grote and his
wife, Of John Stuart Mill and his
wife, of Shelly and his Mary and of
Poe and his wife, will furnish reading
more intensely interesting than any
love stories in fiction.

PICKET

MALONE, n. V, January 30.-For
some time rumors have been freely
circulated that young lady named
Gertie Manning, residing with her
uncle, w. l., Manning, in this city,
was being systematically poisoned
by Mr.. Ms housekeeper, a young
lady named Emma Davis. Miss
Manning complained several times
of finding greenish substance re-
senbling Paris green in her coffee,
and several times has had all the
symptoms OF poisoning by arsenic
after partaking of food from Miss
Davis hands. At last the doctors
attending the sick lady unanimous
ly declared it was their belief that
poison was being administered. \
nurse was then employed who was
the only person allowed to prepare
food or handle medicine for Miss
Manning. Miss Davis was arrested,
and her preliminary examination
was concluded yesterday, resulting
in her commitment to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury for the alledg-
ed crime of administering poison to
Miss Manning with intent to kill.
Miss Manning's condition does not
improve. Her limbs and arms are
paralyzed, and it is thought that
she cannot possibly recover from
the effects of the poison.

Tragedy.

PIouA, O., January 30.-At half
past seven o'clock last night terri
bic tragedy occurred in this city.
DIR. w. +. Harbaugh killed his wife
and then committed suicide. just
previous to this horrible affair he
had dispute with his wife, taking
with him his two sons. Going to
his office a short distance away, he
locked the bows in and returned,
and approaching his wife he drew a
revolver and shot her through the
head. He then went up stairs, and
taking a gun, placed the muzzle be-
hind his ear and fired. the charge
blowing the whole of his head off,
scattering the fragments of his skull
and brains all over the room.
DR.. Harbaugh was aged about
36 years and dentist of great skill.
OF late years he has been addicted
to drink, and that habit has devolv-
ed in him quarrelsome disposition.
He married, fifteen years ago, in
Dayton, the victim of the tragedy,
ard though quarrels between the
couple had been frequent no suspi-
cion has ever attached to her justify
the assault. He has often been ar
rested for beating her, and often she
avoided his attacks by concealing
herself until he recovered from his
fits of drunkenness. The city is
greatly excited over the event.

Grave-!;obbery.

BUFFALO, January "a During
the past two month, u man, giving
the name OF Fred Gibson has been
STAYING at Clifton. Ontaria. His
strange action excited the attention
of the authorities who thought he
answered the description of DR..
Thomas Aust, grave-robber and
murderer. They communi Gated
with the city magistrate Of Peters
burg, Pike county, Ind, and receiv-
ed full description, To which Glib
son answered completely, even to a
scar on his lip. He had heavy
Picard when he first came, but this
he shaved off. He was arrested
Yesterday. On his person he had a
revolver fully charged, quantity of
strychnine, and some laudanum.
OF the double crime charged against
him the particulars to be had here
make the grave-robbery one of the
most shocking in criminal annals,
and the facts were revealedin sing
ular manner
Several years ago a beautiful
young lady named Eads, whose
home was between Winslow and
Augusta, Pike county, Ind, died
suddenly. She was buried near
Winslow. Not long ago her family
received an anonymous letter,
post marked Pikeville, Pike county,
which contained the horrible state
ment that the body of Miss Eads
was stolen by Drs. Thomas and
Joseph Aust, Of Winslow, aud tao
Others that the jewelry buried with
the body was thrown into the Po-
TAXA river, the grave clothes were
burned and the body was dissected
in barn near Winslow; that the
bones were set up in skelton form
and were then standing in the Office
of Dr. Thomas Aust, in Winslow.
The relatives of the dead girl went
to the cemetery, opened the grave,
and found only the coffin and pill
low upon which the dead girls head
had rested. They fastened to Win
slow, took the skeleton from the
office of DR.. Thomas Aust, where
they had often seen it without once
suspecting that it was that of their
lost one. Nothing had occurred in
that county for many years which
had caused so much excitement.
DR.. Joseph Aust is dead. DR.. Thom-
as Aust, now arrested, has been a
fugitive form Justice for the the cold
blooded murder of his brother,in-
law.

A Daring Burglar.

CHICAGO, January PA bold and
singularly successful robbery was
perpetrated last night in the office
Of the Union Iron and Steel Compa-
ny, on Island avenue, near Thirty
second street. The location is q
very desolate one, and except when
lighted up by the glare of the mills
in the neighborhood of the office
was in total darkness. 1t was in
this condition last night when three
men raped on the door and were
admitted by the watchman. They
Immediately oyerpowered, bound,
gagged and blindfolded him and
proceeded to blow open the safe.
This feat they accomplished in
about two hours time and abstract
ed ten thousand dollars cash. One
thousand was in s5 gold pieces,
about 80 in silver coin, and the re-
mainder of the ten thoueand was in
bills done up in envelopes ready to
be paid to the employees of the COM
pany to-day.

The Earthquake In Maine.


BATH. Me, Jan. q, 1881.
1 Last night at $40 an earthquake
shock was plainly felt by the major
ity of the people in the city. Many
were startled from sleep by the un-
usual and mystifying sound and
jer, the cause Of which they could
not satisfactorily explain other than
by attributing it to an earthquake
or explosion. To people who had
retired and and were sitting quietly
in their house the sound appeared
somewhat like thunder, faint at
first, but gradually increasing in
yolumne, accompanied by rattling
not just like anything else, but
somewhat such a noise as if chains
were being dragged over bare ground
The thunder-like roar increased in
intensity, houses were felt to yibrate
light ornaments on shelves were
seen to move, The climax was
reached in an explosive sound, the
whole not occupying more than
four or five seconds. Some describe
the sound like the rolling Of a table
or bed on castors, gathering strength
as it moved, and coming in COLI
sion with the wall with sudden
and loud concussion. Ii might also
have sounded like balls in the f.
nous game of ninepins witnessed
by Rip Van Wrinkle in the Adiron-
dack Mountains. People coming III
from the country report like expe-
rience. In the Ireland district o.
the town, MIR. George f. Wright, a
milkman, reports that his family
were startled from slumber by the
noise and vibration accompanying
it, which were quite plainly felt.
at Harding's Station the shock
manifested itself in like manner,
and from parties living well-nigh to
Brunswick we hear similar reports.
1t has been some years since in
earthquake shock has been felt in
this vicinity, and in intensity and

has equaled this. The disturbance
seems to be confined to a very small
area, however, as far as already
known, as neither in Portland nor
Augusta, on either side of Us, is men
ton made of the phenomenon, in
the local paper of this morning. The
shock was noticed in Woolwich,
Phipsburg, Topsham, Bowdoinhan,
and Richmond.

light, but perceptibIe, earthquake
shock shook Lewiston and Auburn
about 10 o'clock Thursday evening.
PORTLAND, Me-, January 22-A
slight shock OF an earthquake about
$50 o'clock Thursday evening was
felt by number of our citizens.

MiDDLEBCEG, Pa, January %
An accident occurred to-day on the
Sunbury and Lewistown railroad,
caused by broken rail. The mail
train left Lewistown at : p. m. 1t
consisted of two passenger cars and
the engine. When the rail broke
the hind car jumped the track, drag

ductor; W. II. Hans, OF Lewistown,
mail agent; Samuel Bowen, Of Mid
dleburg Mrs. Margaret Griener, of

Disastrous Couflagrasuon.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 2S.-A dis.
patch from South Bend, Ind, says
"a fire this morning, which started
in J. NJ. Calyert's dentistry, burned
seven large buildings and business
houses, including two large dry
goods stores, grocery, restaurant
shoe store, saloon, the city library
and city clerks Office. The hydrants
were frozen, and it was over three
hours before they could be thawed
out enough to be available. All the
telephone and telegraph wires, ex-
cept those of the American Union
Company, were broken in the effort
to save property. The loss is rough
ly estimated at 100000. The fire
originated from the explosion of an
oil stove"

to the earth, and, lastly, physicists
do not believe, as the article states,
that the falling of the meteors into
the sun is the principle source of its
heat. So far as is now known, the
only adequate source seems to be
the shrinking Of the suns diameter
produced by the action Of its own
gravity"

THAT is what | meant it should do.

he said, pointing to the extract,
''arc not worth moments consider
alton, except to expose their absur-
dity."
Professor Newconb who was found
at his residence, did not see why
people should get interested in such
unmitigated nonsense. "But they
will get interested" he said, 'for,
the other morning, ] found on my
desk a letter from a gentleman who
had read the prediction, and wanted
to know whether it was true. l
guess you might as well tell the
readers of your paper what told
him: That he ought to know better

Senator Conkling made a ten
strike" with the women folks last
week by his action in the Senate.
The woman Suifragists who were in
Convention here prevailed upon
Senator Mcdonald. of Indiana, who
is just now happy man, having
taken to himself his second "frow"
to introduce in the Senate PROPOSE
ton for the appointment Of u stand
ing committee on the rights of wo-
men. After Senator Mcdonald had
explained his scheme, the galleries
being filled to overliowing by the
gentler sex, Senator Conkling pro-
posed to amend it so as TO make the
committee a select one, which should
report on the matter this session,
in view of the fact that committee
would hardly have time to accom-
plish much more before the session
ends, when it would 90 out of exist
ance and of the utter impracticabili-
ty of securing action on the report,
if made. This brought forth bursts
of applause from the ladies gallery
which Vice President Wheeler had
to suppress with the gavel, whereat
the grave democratic Senators smiled
at each other, but soon became
frightened at the Hon. Roscoes' pop
,ilaritv with the ladies and knew
that the senior Senator from New
York meant business and was set
ting a trap for them to step in, Nc
Donald did not like the wind to be
taken out of him SO suddenly es-
pecially from Conklink. He main
tanned that his scheme was the wiser
one and after democratic pow-wow
for few minutes up popped Sena-
tor Davis, of West Virginia, who
made 4 cruel motion to refer the
proposition to the committee on
rules, which is not likely to vex the
Senate with any more business at
this session. Mr.. Davis motion
prevailed and the disappointed spec
tators retired muttering Il purpose
to make it hot for him if one of
these days he should want to be re-
elected.
