ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Two Sisters Charged with the Death OF
Girl.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, November 2s.-The
trial OF Miss Sarah Stokes, aged seventeen
years, and her married sister, Elizabeth

On the day of the murder, Miss Stoves, hav-
ing heard remarks about here of an un-
complimentary character that had been
made by sister OF the murdered girl,
mounted her horse, and accompanied by
her sister, started out in search of
Miss Stevens. The sisters rode to the
Stevens residence, but the young lady
whom they sought was not there. They
pushed on to the town and made hurried
inspection of the stores They failed to
find the object OF their search and return
ing called again at the Stevens residence.
Their loud talking brought out Miss Me-
linda Stevens. They commenced quarrel
ing at once, and in reply to something Miss
Stokes said about her sister Melinda start
ed forward. Miss Stokes threw herself from
her horse, and the two girls met near the
gate. Miss Stokes drew a knife from her
bosom and plunged the blade into the neck
of her antagonist, who died in very short
time. At the coroner's inquest a stone
was found tightly clasped in the dead girls
hand.

A MARVEL OF SURGERY.
A Man Breathing for Five Years
Through an Opening in His Throat.


PHILADELPHIA, November 2S.-The stu
dents in the Hospital of Oral Surgery, at
Tenth and Arch streets, were shown pa
tient at yesterdays clinic whose throat had
been cut from ear to ear, and who had then
been hung by the neck, hut still survived
tube in the throat, and for six months uaS
nourished entirely by enemata. The
mans name is Simon Ladenski, native
of Roumania. In the winter OF 1871,
he then being % years old, LadensH
was one of party OF ten men
whose throats were cut by band of gypsy
robbers on the road from Narsloe. LadenS-
XII was not killed, and on regalnlng con-
sciousnesS and finding the robbers quarrel
ing over the division of the plunder he at
tempted to crawl into some bushes by the
wavside. Being detected he was strung up
TO a tree by the neck, and when again un-
conscious he was let down and thrown
among the bodies of his companions, but
not until he had been stabbed in the abdo-
men and cut in the cheek. Two days later
hebodieS were found by Prof. Russ, OF
Jassy. and Ladenski and a companion who
was still alive were removed to town. The
latter soon died, and then Professor
Russ removed MS patient W NLcu-
ma. Thee Ladenski was placed under
the care of the most eminent
Austrian surgeons. 1t was found that the
windpipe was closed, and for two years the
man was unable to utter word. He
breathed through an opening in the neck.
After many efforts large threaded needle
was passed up through the trachea and in
TO the mouth. Small beads were then
drawn through, being daily increased in
size in order to effect permanent enlarge,
ment Of the obstruction. The man is still
obliged to practice this device, and wears
the instrument in his windpipe during the
night, being able to breathe when in all
upright position without its aid. He has
been examined by the leading surgeons Of
Berlin, Paris and London, and il is expect
cd that some day it will be possible to close
up the opening in the throat.

WASHINGTON, November 2S.-Everybody
in Washington is talking about Gen. Sher-
man, who is said to have the Presidential
bee in his bonnet. The persons who talk
about nominating him are not joking.
They say be is the one man on whom all
the Republicans would unite. His friends
say that he would not have it, and has ex-
pressed himself so, but it has not been
offered to him yet.
Mr.. Keifer has returned to Ohio to mourn
in retirement until Congress meets. A re-
porter saw him at the depot the day he left
Washington, with cotton umbrella in one
hand, bandana handkerchief in the other
and fearful expression on his face that
was very affecting
The large room on the Senate side of the
Capitol, which is reserved for the President
upon the rare occasions when he visits the
Capitol, is very handsome. 1t is furnished
in crimson, very elegant crimson Axmin-
ster carpet covering the floor, and a fine
walnut table upholstered in crimson being
in the centre of the room. When the
President is there he is in good Democratic
company. On the walls are freScoed the
portraits of Thomas Jefferson, Edmund
Randolph, Samuel OSgOod, and General
Knox. Alexander Hamilton is also there,
but Democrats prCdominate among the
freScos.
The marble terrace now being constructed
for the west front Of the Capitol will add
very much TO its beauty and have the
effect of turning the Capitol around, for
the east front was meant for the real
front.
1t is singular that, year by year, the
Presidents have gone less and less to the
Capitol. The earlier Presidents transacted
Thomas Jefferson's horse was hitched to
the fence that then surrounded the Capitol
nearly every day during his admlnlstra-
ton; but if President Arthur were seen
there once a week, people would never
stop talking. The President is still at his
cottage at the Soldiers Home, which came
near burning down one day last week,
dangerous fire in the cellar being discovered
inst in time. The President drives IN
every dav TO the White House. He comes
at a slashing pace, and the horses have TO
do their level best. The President is a
lover ef fine horses.
Everybody predicts that the coming ses-
sion of Congress will be bowling and
rushing one in which every thief Will make
the best OF his opportunities, and the re-
publCans will be in the worst possible hu-
NOR with each other.
Mr.. Samuel J. Randalrs family have ar
rived for the season, and are at their home
on Capitol Hill. The daughter OF Gen. E.
O. c. ord is here with Lieut.. Marsteller' $
family. The wife and daughter of Chief
Justice Waite will remainin New York un-

Mcpherson, of New Jersey, will spend the

DETROIT, November ga robbery OF the
Wabash ticket Office at Adrian. on October
18th, has just come to light. Nearly 5000
worth of property was stolen by former
employe, young man named Z. p Rowell.
The guilty man was assigned to the office
in 1881, and became quite popular IN the
city, but about a year ago was discharged
for neglect OF duty. He subsequently, " COM
mitted an assault for which he was impris-
oned for three months. Last week the
ticket agent discovered five coupon tickets
for eastern points had been stolen from the
ticket case. He finally traced them to De-
troit, where four were found in scaipers
hands. Last Saturday Rowell was arrest.
ed on suspicion at Indianapolis disguised
as a tramp, while attempting to sell some
tickets for distant western points Shortly
after he confessed the crime and gave the
details Of the robbery, which his previous
familiarity with the ticket Office rendered
comparatively easy. He stole the tickets
on Sunday, when the office was not oscu-
pied so constantly as on other days Row
ell is in Jail at Adrain.

Has Fallen a Victim.
A Tale Of Love at First Sight, in Which

Leading Parts.
LATEST NEWS FROM ALL QUARTERS.

New YORK, November 2S.-A morning
paper publishes a story to the effect that
Gen. BENZ. F. Butler, Governor-elect OF
Massachusetts,, is engaged to be married to
Miss Kate Pattison, member OF Mrs,
Langtry's company, now performing at
Wallack's, and that the General during a
visit to New York within the past fort
night, visited Wallack's and became So in
fatuated with Miss Pattison on the stage
that he sought and obtained an introduc-
ton, which resulted in the manner stated.
My own opinion is that the whole thing is
sly advertisement for Langtry, who COM
mences an engagement next week ia Bos-
ton, and of course the story slHould aarsw
double crowds to see the Jersey Lily and
Buffers fiancee, it being the home of the
General.
The Wedding
will come off in time for the lady to do the
honors OF the Governors mansion in the
old Bay State this winter. Miss Pattison is.
tall and stately brunette Of commanding
appearance and graceful bearing. She has
dark, lustIous eyes, rosy cheeks, and teeth
that resemble pearls, and pleasing win
ming smile continually plays about her
ruby lips. Miss Pattison was in Wallacks
theatre last night speaking to Mrs. Lang
try and Mrs Labouchere when reporter
was presented to her. In answer to the
reporters questions as to whether she was
Really Engaged 10 the General
she laughingly replied there was no truth
in the report, which was simply ridiculous,
lnaSmuCh as she was not acquainted and
had never to her knowledge seen the Gov
ernor-elect OF the Old Bay State. Both
Mrs Langtry and Mrs Labouchere laughed
heartily at the idea. The morning papers
say thst notwithstanding this contradic-
tion there are a number of people who
firmly believe that a wedding looms up in
the near future. Gen. Butler was teie-
graphed asking if there was any truth in
the report, but he did not answer.
Mrs. Langtry's medical dil ectOr' was
interviewed upon the subject, and after he
had been assured that any information he
might impart would be
Regarded as Strictly Confidential,
told the reporter that the rumOr wac true.
He stated the General attended the perform
ance of las You Like 1t" and at once be-
came infatuated with Miss Pattison, and
the next day sought her acquaintance
through a mutual friend. The meeting
with the fair enslaver OF the Governor
elects heart settled the matter. and ac-
cOrding to the m. d." quoted above, the
preliminaries were at once arranged to the
complete satisfaction Of the lady and the
delight OF the Governor who insists he was
never half so we'll pleased with any former
triumph, his late election not excepted.

HOWGATE.
l. the Missing Captain Absent on
Leave:


WASHINGTON. November $50 often
and positively is it said that Captain How
gates escape and continued absence are the
result of official cSllusien and dereliction,
and that there are numerous persons in
Washington who have special reasons for
not wishing his return or a judicial inyestl-
cation into his rObberies of the public
money, and il is difficult TO conclude that
there is nothing in it at all. When How
gate made his escape there wassuch an EN-
phatiC, not to say general, good riddance
expressed that il was hard not TO believe
that peculiar reasons not uufrequent-
ly prompted the expression. The
fact that not even the STEPS ordinarily
taken TO capture fugitive were taken to
catch Howgate caused much comment at
the time. II is not known that anything
is being done to bring this distinguished
eulprit to justice. The opinion is expressed
by many that his presence is not desired,
even by officers of the law. 1t is hard to
resist the conviction that his return would
cause CONSERVATION in certain quarters.
The case is a great scandal. IL reflects Sc
verely on the administration of justice at
the seat OF government. II usually is the

consequences OF his criminal course,
