A SyRIS<;E STORY.
Terrible Death Of "a Noble AN"
Wealthy French Woman

ASSASSINATION by silence" is the Ia'ea' VA"

she was hopcIcs>ly psin, ugly OF feature and

her for her morey and AA,sd her for nSF ugh
ness.
A fortnight after her weliAng hsJ martyr

Beloved and My ro'~'-ic chang a
one was present; bS was in the seer
and only one o. VI jealous of her and so
fthgg gssn,o ,hel'o' He had the hinges Of ali
the doors so careiqfy Oile1 that they could be
opened without Icreak, the domes'ics were
trained to move about noiselessly, snares
were set in ,he vast gardens of their hotel sc
that never tine chirp Of the sparrow was heard
The poor woman was forced to live in the midst
of silence, and when they went together into
society he scowled so feartully a, every one who
! approached his wife to speak TO her that little
by little people ceased to make the effort
And then after they had returned, and she
had gone to bed, he would enter with list
shoes on his feet so rs not to announce his COM
ing, and would simulate scene of Jealousy
! That is to say he would pace up and down Ike
one in fury who IS ajou, to- burst into re-
p!oaches words Of anger would seem on the
point Of issuing from his mouth, then he would
stop by the bedside and raise his hand in
threat, but he never struck, he never spoke,
and, resuming his walk. would 20 through the
same scene over and over again, until, overs
come by fatigue and horror, the duchess
swooned. Every night for 10 years his victim
watched for menaces which he seemed about
To proifer, bu, to which he never gave vent.
| The doctors were summoned al last, bnt the
utmost hey could say was that they were in
the presence of some horrible mysery which
could not be fathomed without killing the hus'
band. And, when the poor woman died and
the old nurse told her story, they rendered
the verdict above recorded.

Cuie's Ideal Circus.

The show is gone. But it did big busi-
ness in st. Paul before it folded its tents At
the afternoon performance yesterday the
crowd was big enough. Wabashaw street and
the bridge were crowded all the evening and
away into the night by the people going and
coming from the show. 1t was universally
pronounced one of the best animal and circus
exhibitions that ever struck this town. AT
the night performance Mr.. A. L. Richards
sold all the tickets there was in the wagon,
after which betweeH three and four hundred
dollars were taken in at the door. There
would not have been such rush had not
both the circus and menagerie been OF sur
passing excellence. The aerial bicycle act by
the Australian trio; the roller skating by the
Fletcher family; the rival jockey riders; the
duplicate lady riding act; the double clown
and ring master varieties; the prize shooting
by Capt. Bogardus and his little sons Eugene
and Henry; the inimitable riding of Miss
Addie d. Attalie, the equestrlenne; the aero
batic feats of the Livingstones; the three
performing elephants, especially the one which
mounted a ball and rolled it entirely across
the ring, the baby dromedary and the mon
ster Sampson" largest Asiatic elephant on
this hemisphere, weie q few of the greatest
list of attractions that have been presented in
this region for many day, if ever. To
barely mention each separate wonder by name
would fill column, without dwelling upon
the particularly high merit of any. The
circus will show at Rochester, Fergus Falls,
and other neighboring places, and in about
week will start for the far south.

Republicans ia Doubt.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 24.-The Republican state
central committee met here this morning and
held an open session, at which there was
pretty general discussion of The question of
calling state convention. From the state
ments made by members of the committee
and by the general tenor of their remarks IT
would seem that large majority of the Re-
publican voters in the state oppose conven-
ton. The committee Will hold an executive
sassion this afternoon, at which definite action
on the question Will be taken.
The committee, at its session this afternoon,
decided, by vote of % to s, not to call a state
convention. The individual members of the
minority, who say the voters in their districts
are decidedly In favor of convention, will
rally themselves with the popular movement
usugurated at Jefferson City some days ago,
and through which call for a convention
will be made independent of the state COM
IDittee.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25.-The Globe Democrat,

WerricE Continues.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In the star route
trials Merrick resumed his argument for the
prosecution this morning. During his argu-
ment he had sharp discussion with Mr..
Hinkle, counsel for the defense, when the
court decided that Merrick's remarks were de-.
cidedly Objectionable. Merrick continued his
line OF argument, when Hinkle objected.
Mr.. Merrick said that Dorsey having stolen
money from the treasury kept it back from
the sub-coptractor, defrauding the treasury
on one hard and his employe on the other.
The proposition laid down by Secretary Tel
Ter, that the people of the West were as much
entitled 10 speedy mail facilities as the people
OF the East, ne regarded as the wild remark
OF man eeeking popularity among his own
constituents. Commercial transactions
needed rapidity of communication.
Wall street must communicate
with all parts OF the United States and the
world with great rapidtty. With due regard
to the men who operate there, l believe it
communicates with rapidity with the world
below. The Western farmer asked no special
rapldity of communication. He was not en-
titled to the same mail that the people of the
East required.
Court adjourned till Monday, when Mr..
Alerrick will conclude his address.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 25.-A statement of
the disposal of public lands during the fiscal
year ended June 80, has been prepared at the
general land Office and shows that the total
number of acres disposed of is 1858, ,s4S.
This Is an increase over last year of about five
million acres. The cash received for this land
aggregates about ss,S61 ,o9l, against s5,OOO,-
600 for the last fiscal year. The number of
acres entered for agricultural purposes
as cash sales during the year amounted
to 5,69a,e99 acres; for mineral pur.
poses, S7,06S,010 acres; desert lands,
166, 1855 acres; coal lands 1884 acres and ,S47,
729 acres were entered under the homestead
laws, while 2,2l6,244 acres were "proved up''
under the same laws, under the timber cul-
ture acts 2,600, ,792 acres were entered and
proved ups" under the various land warrants,
railroad grant, school and state election acts,
(including various kinds of scripl 6l5, ,sS6
acres were disposed Of.
The great increase in the disposition of
public lands during the past fiscal year is said
to be owing to the immense tide of immigra-
tion in the northwest, in Dakota more
noticeable than in any other state or territory.
A very large increase is also noticeable in
Louisiana and Florida. The area of state and
railway selections Is more complete than ever
before, and this adds greatly to the aggregate
disposed of during the past year. The area of
cash sales in Dakota alone amount to 69S. .O94
acres, and the homestead entries in the same
territory are over 100000 acres. The re-.
turns from several local offices are not in for
the month OF June, and the areas and
amounts in those instances have been esti-
mated.
