ANOTHER FAITH CURE.
The Cure of n Helpless Cripple by n
Miracle OF Faith.

Miracle Of Faith.
HUNTINGTON, Pa, January S.-A remarka-
bic faith cure has occurred near Alexandria
in this county, seven miles from this place.
The subject OF this restoration is John A.
Eefr, who for fourteen years has, been
incurabIy and hopelessly afflicted with
rheumatism. He may be described as
having been utterly helpless, not being
able to walk more than few yards with
crutches. His mother, hearing Of faith
cures, wrote to lady in Rochester, New
York, through whose instrumentality they
had been effected, and after brief cores
pondence an hour was fixed at which relief
was to come. In this case nothing was
required to be done by the invalid but to
have faith. The neighbors learning what
was expected to occur gathered ut the house
to the number Of sixty at the appointed
time, for the purpose Of witnessing the
cure. When the hour arrived the young
man arose from his seat, handed his
crutches to his mother, saying he no longer
needed them, and walked around the room
unaided, shaking hands with al present.
He then went to another apartment in
which it was necessary to ascend by steps,
and when assistance was rendered him he
waved those away-who offered it and de-
scended alone. He is continuing to improve.
He says that he can feel his health return
ing and the strength coming back into his
limbs and that the flesh will soon be
restored to his emaciated body.

SENATOR HoAR Is not coarse man,
and only such one could have charged
premeditatedly upon a brother Sena-
tor as he did upon Senator Edmunds
yesterday, tearing open a wound which
time has not yet healed. Hoar is
given 10 saying sharp things in debate
with no intention OF inhicting the pain
which often follows the sting Of his sharp
tongue. Edmunds Is o sturdy old oak
which the storms Of partisan controversy
eau not bend, but no man Of finer feelings
or more Consilerate demeanor sits in the
Senate chamber. Mr.. Hoar's thoughtless
Gliding Of the Vermont Senator, whom all
New England looks upon with special

uttered yesterday will be used against
him in the Senatorial conflict which is
now at white heat in Massachusetts,. 1t

WASHINGTON, January s.-Mr. Hoars
fatal faculty for laundering led to painful
episode to-day. Mr.. Edmunds was notwell
and Mr.. Anthony, who sits next him and
knows his moods and desires, wanted the
Senate to go into executive session shortly
before 4 o'clock, 80 as 10 give the venerable
Vermonter an opportunity to state his OBJ
jections to the Presidential succession bill
tomorrow. Mr.. Hoar opposed this plan,
and Mr.. Anthony refusing to withdraw his
motion, even at the earnest plea Of Mr..
Edmunds who, sick as he was, was too
proud 10 ask favor, the Senate voted 1t
down.
MIR. Edmunds made an able speech
against the bill. Mr.. Hoar replied to his
criticisms at some length, and with more
than becoming warmth, he insinuated
that Mr.. :Edmunds did not fully compre-
hend the measure, as he was absent last
session while 1t was being discussed in the
committee.
This touched the yermonter on tender
spot, His absence last session was owing
to the illness OF his favorite daughter, who
died. Edmund's face flushed at this rough
remark. He rose and said Hoar did him
great injustice by casting upon him
this personal reflection. This was as
far rs he could get. He broke
completely down and left the chamber.
Mr.. Hoar tried to explain that he meant
no personal reflection. The Senate felt
keenly the blow that had been given Ed
munds and hurriedly adjourned on motion

CoaI Miners ReductIon.

PITTSBURGH, January s.-The river coal
operators have decided to reduce the wa
ges OF boat caulkers from s. 80 to s. per
day and other workmen in the same pro.
portion. None Of the pits in which re-
ductlon was offered were at work to-day.
There are 500 caulkers employed at the
private and other coalboat building yards,
and the reduction does not apply to caulk-
ing on steamboat hulls. AS to the labor at
the pits affected by the reduction in the
price Of mining, at least three thousand
men are concerned, when these pits are
running full, which is not now the case.
There are drivers, checkmen, tipple men,
leaders, &C., who at four cents, get s. per
day, at 81 cents, S2 so per day. Each coal
tipple will employ 80 Of these men, whose
labor is known as dead work." or "out-

A Double Suicide at DetroIt-The Details
Of the Affair.


DETROIT, MIcH., January s.-A double
suicide was committed in this city Saturday
night and Sunday, evidently with the
coolest premeditation. A man named
J. Edward Monick and wife were the par
ties to the shocking transaction. He had
been connected with the Custom depart
ment at Chatham, Ont, but was discharged
q few weeks since and came with his wife
10 this city, where they took board at the
Franklinl house. On Saturday evening
their one month old child was given into
the temporary charge Of lady connect
ed with the hotel to take care Of
Monick then locked his wife In
her room and went away. The lady finally
getting tired OF her charge sought about
midnight to return the child to its mother,
but, was unable to getin the room. Entrance
was finally secured by means OF pass keys,
when Mrs. Monick was found dead on the
bed, with every evidence that she had
died from morphine, administered by her
own hand, or that Of her husband. The
same evening Monick went to the Bruins
wick House and registered under an as.
sumed name, and telling the clerk he would
not want his breakfast he went to room
assigned him.. Here he was found yesterday
afternoon in an unconscious condition
from the effects Of dose OF morphine, and
died later in the evening, all efforts to re.
store him to consciousness proving un-
availing. Both parties were under thirty
and have parents and other relatives living
at Chatham. It is supposed that despond-
ency over the discharge from his position
and failure OF all efforts Of restoration
drove the pair to tho commission Of the
crime. Next to nothing is known Of their
previous history or any other cause to
which the shocking event can be attributed.
Relatives have already taken the bodies
back to Chatham.

CincAoo, January S.-A Springfield
special says that the Senatorial candidates
