Suicide at Notra mama

The suicide Of young lady, who threw her
herself off the upper exterior gallery of Notre
Dame, caused it is stated, immense sensation
in that quarter of Paris The Standard cores
pondent says: "rhe young lady, who is de-
scribed as elegantly dressed and about twenty
years of age. showed great determination and
sangfrod in the accomplishment Of her design.
At 8 o'clock in the morning she re CRESTED to be
allowed to visit The tower, but was refused, as
no lady is permitted to make tho ascent alone.
Though disappointed, she did not give up her
fatal project, but, wandering about the cathe-
dral, succeeded in scraping acquaintance with
an elderly woman, whom she invited to break
last with her at restaurant, and there pre-
vailed on hrr TO accompany her up the tower.
1t v as at two O'Clock that they presented them
selves at the foot OF the stairs and were per-
mitted TO ascend. When they had reached the
upper gallery it was raining in torrents. The
old woman ran TO take shelter in the bellring-
er's room, which, however, she had scarcely
reached before her young companion had with
a piercing cry, preciptated herself from a
nelgnt OF sixty metres into the street below

Mr.. Merrttt's Reply to Ingersoll's Afada-
Wits.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-When asked this
forenoon whether he had anything to say in
reference to the affidavits published this morn
ing IN connection with the Star Route Jury
bribery. affair, Mr.. Merrick said that in his
own opinion 1t was beneath the dignity of the
government counsel to engage in a newspaper
discussion OF the matter at this time The
whole subject was undel investigation, and in
two or three days he expected the special coup-
sci would make a report Meanwhile any at
tempt to forestall public opinion would be un-
successful. Without doubt attempts had been
made with more or less success to foiss upon
the government the services of corrupt men.
with the object OF damaging their case. 1t
was circumstance worthy of remark that
every one OF the jurors whom it is alleged were
corruptly approached, voted for the acauittal
OF some OF the defendants. Some time ago
when Falls disloyalty was first discovered the
district attorney was advised by letter of the
circumstances by the government counsel and
ms prosecution recommended. After Fall's
dismissal, he wrote several letters to the Attor-
ney General, who refused, in the most emphat-
ic language, to have anything further to do
with him, and referred him to Merrick. He
had not, however, availed himself of this ad-
vice. Merrick added that he already had three
or four cases ready to bring to the attention of
the grand jury, and would also be ready to pre-
coed with the trial of the Stor Route cases as
soon as they are reached on the court docket.
Gov ii. H. Wells, special counsel for the
government, who is conducting the investiga
tion into the jury bribery charges, said the
character of some of the persons making the
affidavits was so notoriously bad their state
ments would not be likely to obtain much
credence anywhere. He said it would appear
from the records of the department. that Fall
was discharged July l7ths for processing to con-
troi the verdict of some members of the Star
Route jury in favor Of the United States pro-
vlding clerkships could be obtained or guarar-
teed by their relations or friends.

Regarding the Sites of the Proposed
Quarantine Stations.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 16.-Mr j. FL.
Saunders OF Chicago, president of the cattle
commission, is in this city for the purpose of
consulting with Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury French with reference to the pro-
posed quarantine stations along the Atlantic
seaboard. He says they have experienced diff
fculty IN procuring proper sites within the
limit OF appropriations made for the purpose.
The com mission proposes to erect sheds at
Portland, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore. At the latter place Mr.. Saunders
says there is no urgent need for them this fall.
The importations OF cattle are suspended for
the most part at the other ports during the
winter. 1t is all the more necessary that a
quarantine station which is kept disinfeeted
should be erected to receive stock cattle arriv-
ing. because. il tree from- iseasa-nnon-- land.

around it are pronounced by the commission to
be hotbed of pleuro-pneumonia. Western
breeders are warned to shun all cattle passing
through this section, and, above all, calves
from farms in this region. A single animal
might carry the disease West Once there,
every beast must be slaughtered or inoculated,
as is done in Australia, whore no attempt is
made nowadays to stamp out the plague. Mr..
Saunders regards it as little short of miracu-
lous that western cattle are still free from it,
considering the laxity Of the health authorities
OF some Eastern States.

LABOR TROUBLES AGAIN.
The Fight between Biddeford Shoe
makers and Their Employers Con

BIDDEFoRD, Oct. I6.--The labor trouble in
this city between the shoe manufacturers and
employees does not seem to be settled as MANY
had begun to think and hoped. This morning
man named Carver, presumably from Au-
burn, was sent to the firm of Dearborn & Shaw
to apply for work. The man was given en-
ployment by the firm named, and Immediately
set to work, He had not been long in the
work-room before the proprietors had word
that ne was trying to induce the men TO strike
work and adjourn TO the Lasters Union Rooms
and discuss matters. Mr.. Dearborn went into
the work room and asked the man to leave the
place. This the man refused to do, and show
ed fight and swore there was no man in thu
place could put him out. A special police
man was called into requisition, and the re-
fractory workman was removed to the station.
This morning the gang of men working for
L. Il. Day, on Elm street, went out on fresh
strike and matters are again assuming the ap-
pearance of brewing new troubles.

A Family Quarrel over the Division Of
an Estate

A Family Quarrel over the Division Of
an Estate.
Boston, Oct. 16.--The late Joseph Nicker-
son of this city left an estate amounting to sew
eral millions Of dollars, which was divided be-
tween his wife and two sons and two daugh-
ters. The youngest daughter, Josephine, who
was one OF the trustees under the will, few
months ago came to the conclusion that the
property was not being managed properly. and
she has given trust deed of her proportion to
two prominent lawyers, who attem pted to get
possession of about $1,000 worth of securities
10 the vaults of the Boston Safe Deposit Com
pany, which had been placed there bv Miss
Nickerson and her brother George Jointly. 1t
was found that she had either lost her kew or
that it was in possession of George, and the
managers of the deposit vaults refused to allow
the trustees to obtain access to the securities on
the ground that Miss Josephine and George
Nickerson were tenants in common. A bill in
equity was therefore brought against George
NIckerson and the Boston Safety Deposit Com
paDy, and to-day an interlocutory inotion was
made to allow Miss Nickerson to have the ss-
curities, during the tendency of the bill, aleg-
ing that she has no other means of support.
but no decision was reached. An effort has
been made by the other members of the family
to commit Miss Nckerson to an insane asylum
but this was abandoned.
