 Runasvay wife's Treacherous Act.
 MONTICELLO, March 11.-A few weeks ago Mrs. Dewitt Bube, of Strongtown, Sul- ivan county, eloped with MT. Loomis, an itinerant music teacher, taking with her one child and $2,Ooo belonging to her husband. Another child was left with MT. Bube A day or two ago MT. R. H. Hausee and wife, of this village, were at Bube's house. They brought home with them some canned peach es. MT. Hausee, after reaching home, mo- ticed a can top was loose. Thinking the fruit might be Spoiled, he asked his wife to taste it. which she did. She remarked that it was very bitter. A can of boiled cider from Bube's also had very bitter taste. MT. Hausee swallowed several mouthfuls of the cider, and soon his hands and the muscles of his body began to contract. Suspecting poi son, MT. Hausee drank copiously of hot wa ter, salt and mustard. Dr. Quinlan, who was called, said that Hausee's action in taking the emetic probably saved his life. The doctor thinks MT. Hausee was poisoned with strych- nine When Mrs Bube eloped with Loomis her husband decided not to take any meas ures for her return, but instead has made ap- plication for dfEorce. It is supposed that the runaway pair have gone to a Western State.

 NEW YORK, March 11.-A complimentary banquet to Postmaster General James to- night was sadly marred by the non-arrival of the recipient of the honoTs. The banquet was given by his old time friend, Joseph F. Knapp, Esq. A telegram from Washington announced that Mir. James had missed the early train and would not reach Jersey City until Il D. m.. The banquet proceeded. Among those present were General Grant, Edward Pierrepont, Stewart L. Woodford, Governor Cornell, Senator H. Platt, B. w. Houghton and Acting Postmaster Pearson. It was entirely informal and no toasts were prepared. MT. James reached the banquet hall after midnight and was cordially received.

The Fiasco at Madison Square Garden.
 NEW YORK, March 11.-Although the four
 cornered pedestrian contest has been reduced
 to slow walk between o 'Leary and Vaughan,
 the interest has but slightly abated, and this
 evening another large audience was present
 to witness the two tired out pedestrians
 tramp slowly around the track to the music
 of played out German band. O'Leary, who
 claims to have been suffering from an unruly
 stomach during the whole week, made several
 desperate efforts during the evening to over
 take the tall Engishman, but the Ia tier an-
 swered spurt for spurt, and kept from seven
 to eight miles ahead of O'Leary. The book
 makers increased the odds against O'Leary
 winning from to 4 to 1, but few takers could be found at those odds. Vaughan's winning is now looked upon as certainty. Powell came on the track at $40 and gave another exhibition of
 his running powers much to the delight of his
 admirers, who applauded him as he sped around the track at ten miles an hour gait.
 At o'clock about four thousand persons were in the garden and the management an nounced that the receipts for the week amounted at that hour to nearly $20, GOO. O'Leary left the track again at 9:15 and his Celtic admirers denounced his efforts in strong | terms. Even money is bet that Vaughan will not cover 475 miles and that O'Leary will not cover 45O. Vaughan left the track at 9:2O and returned at 9:35 looking as fresh as at any time during the contest. The score at 10 | o'clock was Vaughan 398; O'Leary 3S7. At II p. m. the score was Vaughan 400, | O'Leary 3S7.
 At 12 D. m. the score was Vaughan 405, O'Leary 39O.
 O'Leary walked to-day 65 miles and lap, Vaughan 62 miles and laps. Both men re- l tired at midnight
 FrightfuI Explosion i'm n Boiler Shop. BUFFALO, March 11.-A frightful explosion | occurred at the boiler shop of Donaldson & Patterson on Indiana street about 4:30 p. m. Some workmen were testing repaired boiler
 belonging to the steamtug Mary E. Pierce, | when the boiler exploded with a terrific crash, demolishing the building and scatter | ing the workmen about dead and dying in all directions. Five men and boy were killed | and three injured. The names of the dead are Robert Patterson, 8 member of the firm. | His body was flung across Indiana street and 1 horribly mangled. John Langerfeld was cut about the face, and his legs were broken. | He died half an hour after the explosion in Decks machine shop, to which he and most I of the other wounded were removed Chad | wick, the engineer, was also fatally injured, and died about p. m. John Butz and Will | liam Gibson and an unidentified boy. The
 latter's body was horribly mangled and cut up. The injured are Erie Rupert, leg bro.
 ken; Henry Mackay, both legs broken Carl | Woolff, both feet blown of. It was the gen. | eral belief that he would not live till he
 reached the general hospital, where he and | all the wounded were taken. The machine
 shop is total loss, and all the shops in the
 neighborhood have broken windows and are l otherwise damaged The shop was not an expensive building, and the loss will probably not be very heavy.

HOW THE SECRET WAS TOLD.

Fair Zamora, gypsy giri,
One evening roaIned with her true lover
Thick grass was waving round their feet,
Green arches were the trees above;
Said Branda, Dear, before 90,
One little kiss, pray, bestow.
The very grass had eyes and ears,
And saw and heard the secret deep
Next morning every babbling blade
Revealed it to the foolish sheep;
The sheep ba.a.aes out for very joy,
And told it to the herdsman' $ boy.
Next hour stranger came along
a rover from far cOuntrie;
The shepherd boy told him the tale,
And he to one who sailed the sea
1t made the sailor almost daft,
And so he told il to his craft.
Just then the ship came near the land,
And told river all the news;
The river bore it back again,
And told it to the solemn yews
That waved their solemn limbs before
Fair Zamoras low cottage door.
And So what with the babbling grass,
The bleating sheep, the shepherd boy
The stranger from no matter where
The sailor in his hour of Joy,
The ship that could not hold her peace,
The stream whose talk doth never cease.
1t came to all the world to know
That secret Q, so sweet aud dear
That even the two might blush to own,
Was told to all who chose to hear;
How in the dark and in the grass
The lover silly kissed the lass.
Poor Zamora the river blamed.
The river blamed the Drawing sea
The sea replied: 'The ship one day
Let out the tale: so blame not me-
out spoke the ship; "Oh, that won't do; ;
The sailor said the tale was true.
The sailor charged the traveller.
Himself declaring free Of blame
The traveller blamed the shepherd boy,
And wished he could recall his name;
The boy accused the foolish sheep
Who could not. such tritle keep.
Maidens, by Zamora be warned.
And have no secret to conceal;
For honest secrets no one cares,
Only the crooked they reveal;
But then, at dark. and in the grass,
zone harmless little kiss might pass.

rs a THOROUGH REMEDY

Meschacebee: This week, on We'd
nesday, the extraordinary weather that
seems to have this year disorganized our
genial Louisiana climate, after warm
spell, suddenly changed into a brisk
norther, which eliminated into bliz
zard in our neighboring parish. On the
Lone Star plantation, about six miles
below the st. Charles ourt-house, on the
right bank, great improvements had
been made under the management of
Nh DugazOn, the enterprsing partner of
the well known New Orleans firm of A.
Rocherean 4 Co.; wire fences surround
ed the plantation on both sides of the
railroad and the front, sides and rear;
the object being to have stock farm as
we'll as q plantation. An old shed, serv-
ing to warehouse the farming utensils,
had been provided with brick walls and
shingled over the blizzard struck the
building whilst several employees were
therein occupied and the shock was suf-
fCient to cause the roof and rafters to
fall in, killing one colored man and Sc
verely gripping several others. We for
got to mention also that last week Mr..
Max Becne's purgery on the right bank
in this parish was blown down by the
hail storm already mentioned in our
last issue. Fortunately, there were no
casualties, no loss of life, then. +
We learn that certain eX sheriff Of
st. Charles, predecessor of our popular
ex-parishioner, Mr.. B. S. Labranche, is
accused to have been, together with a
certain self-con stituted member of the
medical fraternity of African descent
the perpetrator of deed of mutilation
on one of the colored denizens of the
parish offs st. Charles. 1t seems that a
groggery fuss led to a fight, which re-
suited in the abstracting of the digit of
the last mentioned benizen hence an
affidavit before justice Freedman, of the
4th ward. The matter being under ju-
dicial investigation, we refrain from
making any comments

any back counties in that State, and the
settlers had located their cabins Just six
miles apart to a rod. When set out to

sound of fiddle reuched me between

"Come in old hoss," sang out voice
and fell against the door.
When opened it was in room about
sixteen feet square-the only one in the
house. The big fireplace gave light, and
the furniture was homemade. A quaint,
long haired pioneer sat on shake down
bed, playing the fiddle; a gaunt, slim
woman was dancing in the centre Of the
floor, and several children were scatter.

The story that Miss Minnie Rail, "a
charming young lady Of Keokuk, Iowa,
was Rugged to death by her lover in his
ecstasy at her having consented to
marry him, is denied by the doctors,
who say she died Of heart disease,
which was stimulated into fatal action
by. the intense happiness of the moment.
The doctors are probably right, but even
were it otherwise, there is no use in CT
ting the case IS a warning to other
girls. Most of them are physically
sound about the heart, and will take the
