The publication of an interview with Walter
Phelps anent the nomination of Keifer by the Re-
pubcans as their candidate for Speaker, has caused
considerable talk about the disposition OF this
empty honor. If Robinson had not been elected
Governor of Massachusetts, he would have been
unanimously the nominee OF the Republican cancus
In the case of Keifer, his nomination would mean
more than mere cOmplimei t; it would mean an
Endorsement of his course Speaker, and an in-
dorsement that many Republicans would be 10th to
give and to choose Hiscock, who was defeated in the
nomination by trickery, might seem invdiOus
There appears to be, however, objections to the
nomination OF Kelly.
Acts of Mndman
CHICAGO, November 22d.-The Tyibune's Pits
burg special OF the 21st says: For some time the
citizens of the southern part If Ohio county, W. Va,
about twenty miles from Wheeling have been try
ing to capture strange man who occasionally made
his appearance at isolated homesteads generally in
the absence OF the Of the house. and by bran.
dishing large club terrorzed the folks into
giving him food He always appeared dressed in
SKINS and was never known to speak. He was of
gigantic stature and ferocous aspect and has been
| terror to the community. Several attempts have
been made to capture him, but without success. Ii
is supposed he lives in ore OF the hume rous caves
in the vicinity. This morning he went to the house
of George Powell, soon after that gentleman had
! gone to his work Howling like wild beast and
frothirg at the mouth, he attacked Mrs Powell with
his club fracturing her skull and otherwise injurng
her. He then picked up her only child, boy about

the house shortly afterward found Mrs. Powell in a

and organized party to pursue the strange
ture and rescue the child. They soon struck trail
and after following it for about five miles, care
upon the body of the boy, whose brains had been
dashed out against tree. Two of the patty re-
turned to Powels with the child and the rest con-
tinued the search for the man, but at last accounts
they had not succeeded in oyertakipg him. There

he IS one Of the murderers who escaped from the
Moundsville PenitentiaTy some months ago Others

Woman Suffrage.
NEW YORK, November 22I - Lille Devereux
Blake writes the Times on its letter concerning
woman suffrage in Wyoming, saying " During my
trip in Nebraska last fall constantly met persons
who resided in Wyoming, and from them inva-
riaby heard testimony in fsy2r Of the effects OF
enfranchising women. Many of those with whom
talked had been opposed to the measure before
moving to that Territory, but had become converts
to it by ther own observations of Its workings,
while the overwhelming testimony of high officials
is that impartial suffrage is complete success. The
writer Of the letter seems to attribute to ex
traordinary and abnormal powers, as he thinks that
small minority of them in Wyoming might by
their efforts rectifY any social and political abuse
to be found there. The advocates of woman suf-
frage have claimed it OF justice they have
never held that it would bring about millennium
Women are not really angels they are liable both
to weakness and errors. Surely they were made to
match the men,"
