Lucy H. Hooper in Philadelphia Telegram
Spectation is now rife as to whether
Nine. NicOlini and the MARQUIS de

law to release themselves from their
respective partners. [ am told that

laws, so potent hold over the fortune

Gently reported that negotiations were
on foot between the Marquis and his
truant Marquise to induce the latter
to return to her matrimonial allegi-
ance, but the rumOr has lately been
denied by NJ. de Caux himself. What
change from the days when
the lady fair IN question
was held in as high estimation by the
best society of Paris as any Duchess
Of the Faubourg ST. German! There
never before was an instance known
of a prima donna married to a noble
man to whom such thorough social
recognition had ever been accorded.
| remember how, some ten years ago,
a charming American lady with
passion for music, when on visit to
Paris, purposed calling to see Madame
Patti without any form of introduc-
ton and impaired her intention to a
French gentleman of her acquaint-
ance. "You might as well pay a
visit without an introduction to the
Duchess de Luynes or the Princess de
Broglie," he responded. You for
get, Madame, that the lady belongs
by marriage to our very best society"
And nowadays it is said IN Paris that

profoundly the wide-reaching harm it
would do to have the democratic party

be to all the best interests of the south
not less than of the north.
Personally, as to the southern mem

most representative city of the north,
has given them most cordial welcome;
and it now bids them the kindest God
speed as they return to their homes.
And il is hoped that by another four

Convention will have learned so far to
respect the equal rights of the colored
millions of the south as to allow them
some fair degree of representation in

motion. What Dick says is just as feel.
Blaine is my choice, as he is of nearly
every wOrkingman that | have spoken
to. Living in the house with me are
twelve mechanics, and eleven of us will
vote for Blaine, and the other is not de-
cided. All of us, too. are Democrats.
Blaine's policy is good enough for u.
He has been tried q long time and is l
right. Cleveland has had but few year
trial, but in that time his record is bad.
I think that Blaine will get a big major
ity of the votes of the bricklayers, and
for that matter, OF all labor organiza-
tions, for the boys generally go together
in body. We don't want any man of
Cleyeland's stripe"
MORRIS AZURE
Morris Azure, Knight of Labor and
the Secretary of the Seaman'S UniGn,
says: :" [ am not satisfied with Cleveland.
[ was Democrat, but [ will not support
such a man, for as far as can find his
record is bad. Quite a number of sailors
whom [ have seen and others make
strong protests against him. His veto of
the elevated railroad bill and the street
car employees bill beats him. have no
objection to Clevelands sudden jump
from sheriff to a candidate for Presi-
dent, or to any other position if he is
competent, but the record is against him.
Laboring men should support those who
have protected their interests, and not
those who have worked against him.
There is very little interest taken in the
Democratic nomination compared with
that manifested at the time of the Repub-
Ican convention.

The Double Homicide.

New York, February 13.-The police
have obtained some further facts re-
garding the mysterious shooting yester-
day at the 59th street station. on the
line Of the elevated railroad. The
woman who fred at and wounded the
man, was Jennie II. Olney. aged "a
years, who taught in a kindergarten
school. She lived at Ill west 25th
street. A large package of letters in
the room Of Victor Grafton Andre, her
victim, which she had written him,
showed that he had promised to marry
her and afterwards refused. But
whether he had betrayed her or not,
could moi be ascertained. II was said
at Miss Almey's boarding house that
she went away every morning early and
did not return until night, and it is
supposed she passed the day watching
Andres house. The police find that
the two became acquainted last fall at
a house where they boarded. Andre
cannot possibly recover. In his ante
norton statement he admitted he was
engaged to marry Miss Almey, but
broke his promise on discovering that
she was n divorced wife. He would not
! give any further particulars.

more Railway Facilities.

ment is published here hat indications
nov are that the Atlantic & Pacific
railroad will after all be extended to

ager of the Grand Trudk, to Sir John
Mcdonald, in which the former states
that his cable advlces from London.
Intimated In all the daily papers pub
lished there that they we're protesting
against all further aid being given by
the government to the Canada Pacific
railway SO long as that company con
tinues to go out of it's legitimate sphere
to compete with and injure the Grand
Trunk company. The proposal to grant
additional government assistance to the
Canadian Pacific to the extent Of $780,
100000, without any adequate protec-
ton being taken, 30 that these funds
may not be used, and inadequately, too,
as has been the case in the past upon
works wholly apart from the objects
sought to be attained by the construc-
tion of the Canadian Pacific, and q still
further demand for assistance will not
follow, as more aid has already been
given, than warrants, by those who
