Further Investigation of the Story of Lady
Florence Dixie.
London Cable Special.
Those likely to be best informed to-day re-
gard the statement of Lady Florence Dixie
as to the attack made upon her near Windsor
as pure fabrication. Not trace of any
struggle could be found on the damp mould
on which the struggle is alleged to have
taken place. Two large men dressed in
women's clothes could not possibly have
reached her house without having been SEEN
Three men-a soldier, a publican and a
gardener-who were all within few yards of
the scene of the alleged struggle at the time
alleged have been examined, and neither
saw or heard anything of it. Lady Florence
herself is now bewildered about it, and it is
unnecessary to say that she has the reputa-
ton OF being half mad 1t is now known that
she wrote Parnell on his release, avowing
herself to be strong Nationalist, and urg-
ing him to act with her.
New York Special.
Irishmen in New York of every stamp,
Fenians, Land-leaguers and Nationalists,
were tolerably unanimous in their views OF
the attack on Lady Florence Dixie The
general opinion was that Lady Florence was
sufficiently respected and liked in Ireland to
make it highly improbable that Irishmen
had any hand in it; also that the assault had
been greatly exaggerated by the English
press and by Lady Florence herself; and that
if it had any political significance it was the
attempt of party opposed to Ireland. The
remarks made are in brief, as follows
ODonovan Rosa: cts easy to see through
the whole business. If the men meant MUIR
dor sure there was her bare throat to stab.
1t wasn't an Irishman that did it, anyway;
she has spent too much money in behalf of
Ireland to have enemies there"

Brotherhood; "She's always been friend to

late Dr. David o. Farrand took place this
afternoon, from the First Presbyterian
church, of which he was member. The
ceremonies were attended by vast throngs of
people, and hundreds were turned away
from the spacious church, unable TO gain
even standing room. A detail of police Of
ficers acted as pail bearers. There were hun
dreds of floral contributions OF elegant and
costly designs. A special train from Ann
Arbor brought 500, headed by President An
gell, OF the faculty and the students of the
medical department of the university. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. George D.
Baker, the pastor of the deceased, and Rev.
A. T. Pierson, formerly of this city, now Of
indianapolis No death here for years has
carried sorrow into so many homes.

THE VISIT OF DIAZ.
4, Outline of the Great Political and CONNER
cial Scheme Involved.

ST. LOUIS March 21.-The Globe-Democrat
to-day says that there is significance in the
present tour of General Diaz through the
United States which has not hitherto been
made public. International courtesies and
Improvement of commercial relations are
we'll enough, but it is believed the hospitality
and enthusiasm have an influence prompting
it all. Diaz is in the hands of a syndicate of
Americans interested in Mexican railroad de-
gelopment. His present position in Mexico
makes him extremely valuable and their
plans contemplate that he will be still more
available in the future. After his return to
Mexico he is expected to be still more widely
recognized than ever as the leading man of
that republic. His reelection to the presi-
dency is the object the syndicate have in
view, and then their hopes of controlling the
valuable concessions Mexico has bestowed on
railroad companies will be fulfilled. How
far Diaz is a passive instrument of this party,
and how far he enters actively into the grand
plan OF controlling the politics and railroads
OF Mexico, it is impossible to tell but enough
has developed during the stay of the General
and companions in ST. Louis to show some
f.hing OF the organization. As the matter
, now stands, the alliance is powerful one,
and il the plan of re-electing Diaz to the
presidency succeeds, the syndicate will be
one of immense strength in the railroad in
terests of Mexico. 1t HIS representatives
and influences in Denver, New Orleans, ST.
Louis. Kansas City, the City of Mexico, and

Eowns Submerged, Bridges Swept Away.
and Travel Much Impeded.

QUEBEC, March 21.-The North Shore train
from Montreal, due early Monday afternoon,
arrived this morning. The snow was packed
on the track five feet deep.
A Halifax dispatch says the thaw of the
past few days has been followed by a severe
rain storm. The rivers have overflowed their
banks, bridges swept away, and the low lands
flooded Much property has been destroyed,
and railway communication is interrupted
There is the greatest freshet on CORVALLIS
; river known for years. The Windsor g.
Annapolis railway is submerged and badly
washed for two miles; half mile of track
at Wiswell is three and a half feet under
water. At Munro Murch, for mile and a
half the track is nearly as much under
water, and in some places is flooding. All
trains between Windsor and Annapolis have
been cancelled
Medway is soverfowed. The ice has carried
away the main bridge, also the booms and
piers. Other rivers are overfowed, aud great
damage isapprehended.
The Oxford and Cumberland companies re-
port the greatest freshet ever known. Three
bridges across the river Philip, one at the
head OF tide-water on the Oxford, and an
other on the road to the station, have been
carried away. The ice-jam caused backwater,
HoosfnR houses from six inches to three feat
deep Some families were removed in canoes
and RATS. A number of small bridges are
gone, and communication completely cut off
in every direction The damage done to
mills and bridges up the river must be very
great, as large amount of debris is floating
down the river.
A Truro telegram says the ice in the Sal
mon river and the Lepper broke last night,
and tremendous freshet followed. Salmon
river bridge is in danger of being swept

end of ward Three. The town of Truro is

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Opposed to Internal Revenue De-

PITTsBURG, March 21.-Judge Atchison, in
the United States District Court, to-day filed
an opinion in the case of the United States
VS.. VIM. Jenkinson, of great importance to
the tobacco trade. The defendant was in
dicted for selling tobacco contrary to section
3,369, Revised Statutes His offense con-
sisted in having sold five pounds of plug
tobacco from broken package to smaller
dealer. Judge Atchison says the govern
ment has no right to inquire whether Jeukin-
son sold the tobacco to be sold again, and
consequently discharged the defendant

known for the suppression of Indian raids.
He stated the result of the cutting off of Sit
ting Bulls communication with the re-
mainder of his tribe, and said that from be-
ing a terrible warrior her had been reduced
to a harmless old man. Any man who drove
a stage over the route from Tres Almos to
Clifton, in 1878, for less than $50 day was,
in his judgment, a fool, for although the
Apaches were as we'll known out there as the
grizzlies, cinnamon bears, or other war
minis, they were the worst savages we had.
To Mr.. Bliss, he stated, that he had been
shown places where two or three carriers had
been killed on that route.
Representative Horace F. Page of Cali
fornia, was called, but did not respcnd and

New Departures in City Government.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 21.-A bill passed
the Legislature this afternoon amending the
charter OF incorporation of this city, limit
ing the municipal legislature to ten council
men, elected from the city at large, and no
two from the same ward. The city has four
teen wards. 1t is believed this will eftectually
break up the old system of ward rings and
cliques, and will result economically and to
the great relief of taxpayers. 1t abolishes
the two-boards system. The council of ten
exercises merely legislative powers, and Gre
ates all executive board of three called the
