HoNG KONG, December 20.-The French
have captured the principal outposts of
Sontay, embracing five strongly fortified
villages. The enemy made a stubborn re-
sistance. The French loss was two hundred
men and fifteen officers killed and wounded.
even while the Chinese loss is put at 1 1,O00
men killed and wounded, Admiral Cour-
bet, commanding, had seven thousand
men, four thousand engaged in the action,
the remainder In reserve. The Chinese
still hold the fortress at Sontay. The prin-
cipal fighting occurred on the river bank.
Several villages were captured at the point
of the bayonet. The French marched
within a mile of the citadel, but there will
probably be very heavy fighting before
they. reach the place. The Chinese lost
heavily from the shells of the fleet.

was made at 8 in the evening with bravery

Jerusalem Will Arise Again.

What man can reason himself into
the belief that the fond dream of the
Jew shall not be realized? Eighteen
hundred years of drifting, hither and
thither, over the earth would seem to
settle forever the question of return.
But who knows the plans of the Abso-
lutte? And who has ever thought ad-
versely to the union of the tribes in the
fatherland? presentiments all tend
toward rehabilitation of the name and
nation under the sun of Palestine The
sea can not give up her dead, for there
is no appeal or relief from the great
law that dooms us to dust. Genera
tions of men appear and vanish as the
grass. and the countless multitude that
throngs the world to-day, will to-mor-
row disappear as the footsteps on the
shore. Foreign lands can not give back
the senseless clay, but the millions of
descendants will be restored and the
banners of her ancient hosts will be
born in. the wave of re-establishment
and the van of new evangel. The
city will rise up and the land which
was silent so long shall be robed and
made ready for the coming OF might
ier destiny and a grander coronation.-

Misery. 9
Travel Tmpeded and Destruction OF Con
siderable Property. c. rsz.. !.

CINCINNATI, December M.-The great fall
of snow yesterday resulted in the distruc-
tion Of numerous buildings of various di-
mensions, including portions Of several
large factories and mercantile establish
ments. The immense weight was too much
for some of the roofs covering extensive
buildings, and throughout the day crash
after crash was reported. Last
night the trouble continued. and at
that time, owing to the impossible condi-
tion of the streets and the dense fog, it
was impossible TO determine the extent of
the after dark destruction. 1t is almost
impossible to place a rough guess on the
loss, but it will probably not reach much
beyond S25 600, SO far as reported.
PTTTsBuRe, December 23.-Pittsburg was
visited to-day by one of the worst storms
in years. It commenced showing this
morning at daylight and continued till

The streets are in a terrible condition, and
many cellars are flooded and goods dam
aged. Trains are all delayed, and tele-
graph wires prostrated in every direction.
Owing to the heavy snow in the Mononga-
hela Valley and the headwaters of the Al
leghany, a disastrous flood is expected.

delivering himself up there to the United

have changed his mind about this, how

the pleasure of meeting Frank, he and his

Throat Cut. .sz9z-
The Villain Captured and Jailed. Amid
Threats OF LynchinE.

JOLIET, ILL.,, December 19.-This morn
ing, about two O'Clock, cries of "helpw
"murder!" were heard on the second floor
of the Auburn House, of this city. The
boarders were aroused, and the night clerk
rushed upstairs just in time to see the head
cook Mrs. Jane Hsycock, fall to the floor with
blood streaming down over the front of her
night-dress. Investigation developed the
fact that George Freestune,a a young man
twenty three years of age who was one of the
boarders, had entered Mrs. Haycock's room,
and bound her head to prevent her screams,
and then outraged her person. When he
had finished his fendish work he started to
leave the room, when Mrs. Haycock, re-
covering her senses, gave vent to
ceal what he had done, and prevent ex-
posure, Freestune rushed back, drew q
large knife, and deliberately cut the out
ragged woman's throat and fed, supposing
he had-killed her. Officers were summoned,
and in a few minutes the culprit
was under arrest. His hands were
covered with the blood of his victim,
yet he still protested his innocence,
declaring that the blood on his person was
from mnose-bleeding. He was given pre-
lminary examination this morning, and
held to answer to the January term of the
Circuit Court. His victim is now lowering
between life and death, but every effort is
being made to save her life. The
affair has aroused the most in
tense excitement, and talk of
iynching the Ttend is freely expressed.

In France, November 2, is 1.-The
Day of Death Everybody visits the
graves of dead relatives or friends, and
the crowds at the cemeteries are SO
large that gendarmes are stationed to
keep the people in line. Friends leave
cards at the tombs of their friends, so
the families may know who has visited
the last resting-place of their loved ones.
The custom of leaving cards is observed
through the entire year. Most of the
graves are as vaults, with little room
or house over them. The door is an
iron grating. Cards left there are pro-
tected from the weather, and when the
family visits the place they take them
and send return cards by mail, thus ac-
knowledging the kind rememberances.
