Won Behren in the head. She
died in fifteen minutes. Frayne

and the play was stopped. The audience
supposed the victim was only slightly
hurt. FTayne used Stevens rifle, only %
calibre, and was executing . backward
shot. The catch snap of the rifle was i'm
perfect and slipped Just as the hammer
fell, and blew the cartridge ont backward.
When the. curtain went down after the
fatal shot the excitenaeRt behind the scenes
was so great as to cause an alarm
lest q panic might ensue among the audi
enee which numbered 300. FrayDe's cries
and lamentations were so violent that he
waSheard before the curtain.
Frayne's mental Condition was such that
one Of his friends Kept close watch over
him at his betel. The theatre is closed for
tonight and probably will not be opened
this week.

A DESOlAIE SCENE.
The Rum q of the Centennial Exhibit tion
GP0un n<ls.

GROUNDS.
PHILADELPHIA, November 30.-The Gen.
tennial Grounds now present scene OF
dreary desolation. Where the Main and
Machinery building once reared their i'm
posing structures, an empty waste tires the
eye with desert Of mud, bitches, decayed
lumber, twisted pipes, rusty iron and bro
ken rubbish of every kind. The destruc-
ton of the two great buildings has left the
acres they covered looking like an old bat
tle-field of arts. In the rear of this sea OF
confusion CLEANS the massive front Of
Memorial Hall, the two bronze figures in
front stading out in strange contrast TO the
ruins over which they look. To the left
and rear the bright hues of Horticultural
Hall give the scene patch Of color.
To walk over the space where the two
great buildings once housed the worlds
sample products is almost impossible, but
a bold plunge through mud and over heaps
of nondescript rubbish shows the detail Of
desolatiOn. Here and there are patches OF
Touring, black and decaying, once pressed
by feet of every nationality. lntersecting
the open waste are bitches running in every
direction, half-full of muddy water, which
have been dug TO remove the net work of
gas snd waterlpipes underlying the ground.
Occasional piles of brick diversity the land
scape, while one will now and then stumble
over a stone foundation which once sup
ported some pOnderous exhibit.
b. C. Mitchell, who made such a good
speculation in buying the main building,
owns great pile of lumber and sash lying
on the Pennsylvania Railroad ground south
of the exhibition space, which will soon be
removed. Next spring the grounds will be
improved by the park commission, provided
councils make them an appropriation OF
from $4,000 to $4,000, into a concourse
which will contain drives, bride and bicycle
paths, lawns and flower beds.

WASHINGTON, November 30.-The ap,
proaching contest for the Speakership be,
tween Messrs. Carlisle and Randall, suggests
the fact that Kentucky has held that Office
longer than any other State-seyenteen
years. Henry Clay was Speaker during the
twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth
and eighteenth Congresses; also the first
session of the sixteenth, total of eleven
years. This period exceeds that of any
other Speaker seven years, and MeSsrs.
Macon of North Carolina, Colfax OF
Indiana, and Blaine Of Maine, each
held the place six years. Besides Clay,
Kentucky furnished John White for the
Twenty-seventh Congress, and Linn Boyd
for the Thirty-second and Thirty third.

thirteen years. These were Philip Bar.

FAYYTrE CITY, Pa, November 3o.-A
young man nomed Ellsworth Southland, a
glass blower by occupation, committed
suicide last night by taking arsenic. The
deceased was originally from Bridgeton, N.
j.. and came here few days ago, and was
engaged at the glass house. He was mar
ried three weeks ago to a young lady OF
Monongahela City, after an acquaintance
of two weeks. The story of the young
widow is as follows:
Ellsworth told me previous 10 our mar
riage that he had been married TO wo-
man, who owing TO natural causes, he was
farced to marry, but that he had paid
SQUIRE $l20 for a divorce. which he oh
tanned. never mentioned about his
former marriage to my mother until yes
terday morning, when SHE informed me
that we would have TO separate until he
would produce his divorce papers. When
my husband came home in the evening.
told him of my mothers decision, where
upon he threw his arms around my neck
and said: If am TO be separated from
YOU it will be in death" That evening he
told his wife he was going TO poison
himself and she finally persuaded him
to accompany her to her mother in order
10 effect compromise. When they ar.
rived at the he left her at the gate, and told
her he was going to the glass.house To get
some arsenic (which they use in the manu-
facture OF glass; and would DO back soon.
He proceeded to the glass-house aud called
one one of the blowers aside, produced q
bottle of whisky and invited bin to take a
drink. He then turned and went into the
sned, 70 grtt, ss he said, some arsenic 10 kill
rats with. On his return he produced the
bottle again and said: Take your last
drink with the rat (intimsting sthat he
was the rat TO be killed.. Just as he was
leaving he bid all the boys goodbye, and
added that il was the last time they weuld
see him alive. he then joined his wife,
who was still waiting at the gate, and re.
turned home without visiting his mother
in-law,
After they arrived home, he went up
stairs, and soon after requested his vile To
bring him q couple OF tin cups full OF
water. She then accused him OF having
taken arsenic, but he would not ackrowl:
edge the fact. and told her that he had
thrown 1t away on his way home. Shortly
after he began 20 suffer great pain, and his
wife called in her mother and sent for DR..

DR.. HOLMES RESIGNATION.
The Close OF a Long and Srccessful
Career I'm SSSaryard'

BosroN, November 30.-The most inter
esting event that has recently occurred in
the Harvard Medical school was the fare
we'll of DR.. Oliver Wendell Homes which
took place Tuesday evening. For thirty
FIVE years he has given instructions in
anatomy in that institution. The entrance
of the Doctor was marked by the rising of
the students, and as their applause ceased
one of them presented him, on behalf of
his last class, with beautiful loving cup,
inscribed with a quotation from one OF his
poems.
There was three times in 8 mans life, he
said, when he might properly consider
himself the center of attraction, at his
marriage and at his own funeral. This,
the beginning of his thirty-sixth course Of
lectures of anatomy was the end of his con-
nection with the school. For about half
Of this time he had also taught physiology,
but with the growth of the science he had
gladly given 1t over to form a new depart
ment 1t was good thing for college to
get rid of their old men. Their ideas were
antiquated, and the college had better let
them go. He had held this Office so long
because he had taught subject which
could never become antiquated.
The Doctor finished with some practical
remarks on the way in which the science
was tending. DR.. Holmes is TO made
Professor Emeritus of the school. The
Doctor, il is understood. resigned the
professorship not because OF ill.health or
old sge, but because he wishes to devote
more time to the field of literature.

acted during the last election, and said the
country had entered upon an era Of honest
government.

"Oh Page He would aot remain in
California after the election. He was the
worst beat man in the country. Just
think OF il On all the Republican COM
mittees, State and National, plenty of the
Hubbell tund at his command and the
President granting him all the patronage
he required, and then to be beaten like all
outdoors; its too much, it's terrible-for
Page and the Republican party. Why he
had no idea he would be defeated until the
returns declared it in black and white"
"What in your opinion, caused the
downfall of RepubliCanism in Califor'
niS?"
"Intellect asserted itself to put down
thievery and corruption. 1t was victory
of the intellectual masses over the corrupt
tools who live by patronage"
"Then the administration interferred
with Pacific slope politics. :,
THAT it did, wherever the opportunity
offered. Offices were filled by those who
could WELD the most political influence
and command the most votes. Arthur and

minds for some time"

Are you going to abolish the internal

Not altogether, but we will strike of

New York, November 30.-The contest OF
the will of the late Sarah Burr, who dis
tributed an estate amounting to nearly
S3. COO 600 in charity, was resumed yester-
day before Surrogate Rollins. Frederick
X. Kimmel. called for the contestants,
testified that he had lived directly opposite
Miss Burr, in University Place, for
four years and more; he said
that the house always seemed to
be closed and for long while he imagined
il to be q gaming place; groceries were
never sent to the house, but milkman
called once in a while. There were but
few callers, and Mr.. Titus was the only
person who was promptly admitted to the
house, The less welcome visitors would
frequently amuse themselves by parading
up and down the sidewalk in front of the
house for hours at time and then not
gain admission, The proceeding would oc-
casionally be varied by "taps" at the base.
ment windows. This device when resorted
to was frequently successful and the visitor
would be admitted.
John II. Mueller, who has lived in Uni
yersity Place since 1860, testified that he
was in the grocery business immediately
below Miss Burr's house for eight years;
Miss Burr went to the store one day and
astonished him by buying a lot of old pota-
toes, old turnipS and rotten apples and
some other things, which he thought might
have been worth fifty cents; witness was
bewildered, and said: "Can't you afford to
bny better things?" mo; am very poo" "
said Miss Burr; the same popularity was
displaved in her other purchases at his
store; her bill every month would average
about Sc, because she would buy second

during a gale and sank an hour later, in
ten fathoms of water. Three boats were
launched after the boat struck, two Of
which, containing thirteen people,
managed to reach the shore
safely. The remaing boat has not been
heard from, and it is feared she has been
lost in the breakers. Among the missing
are the captain, the chief officers and Miss
Farrell, a passenger. There was SO much
confusion Just before the vessel went down
that it is not known whether the persons
named are in the missing boat or went
down with the steamer The following is

Special Dispatch to the Register.
srEUBEYvILE, November S0.-The death
of DR.. Updegraff, member of Congress from
the Seventeenth district of this State, re-
opens some very interesting questions
among politicians. 1t will be remembered
that the contest'whi resulted in his nom-
iuation for the third time was long and
exciting one. After $40 ballots had been
taken, the convention at st. Clairsyille ad-
iourned without making a nomination, and
the five candidates each had the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the others were not
successful.
At the Convention in GAINESVILLE the
fight was narrowed down to two can didates,
Mr.. Uddegraf and J. D..Taylo1sof Guernsey
county. This Convention nominated DR..
Updegraff and he was electod by small
majority.
Now that death has removed our Repre-
sentative, the place-seeSers will renew
their clamOr, and what the result will be is
beyond our knowledge, but it is probable
that the people of the District may unite
upon sorDe one who will be more accepta-
bic than DR.. Updegrah
Although his services We're undoubtedly
rendered in the interests of his consttu-
ency, a strong feeling was wrought up
against him in the last campaign, by his
enemies, and many of his former support
ers deserted him, probably without just
cause.
