How q Shrewd Chicago g. Alton
Conductor Got the Better
Of Best,
The Old Man Who Tried to GET
Rid of His Handsome
Daughter-in-Law,
Love, Which Laughs at Locksmiths, Also
Puts to Shame the Machina-
tons Of Stern Parent.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May l2.-Geo. II Z,
Best, Geo. IL. Best, Jr., and the young
ana charming wife Of the latter, attracted
attention at the Union Depot last night.
Si1 months ago the young couple, who
were then at the home of Mr.. Best, ST.,
at Sheridan, Ia, became infatuated
with each other, and eloped to Texas.
After a brief period of happiness, Best,
DR., got to the bottom of his funds
ana telegraphed to his father for
more. The old gentleman forthwith went
down into Texas and found the
foolish couple on the verge of starvation.
Young Mrs. Best had pawned her gold
watch and chain to feed her George. The
three then embarked on the Iron Noun.
tain Tor Iowa, but arriving in st. Louis
Best, ST., swore that he would discard
MS daughtcr-in-law. He bought her "A
ticket for Vandalia, Mo-, where her par
ents reside, and tickets for himself and
son for Sheridan, la. Mrs. Best thereupon
gave vent to her feelings in tears. Her sor-
row, however, was aSsuaged by Officer
Barney Burke, who said he would fix
the matter with Conductor O'Brien, of
the Chicago & Alton train. 1t was az
ranged with O'Brien to take up the tickets
OF Mr.. Best aud his son and insist that
they were for the young man and his
wife, at the same time kindly informing
Best, ST., that if he did not like the way
the "Company' did business he could
get off the train or pay his fare anew. On
arriving at East st. Louis, the fury of the
old gentleman knew no bounds, but there
was no help for it and he was forced to
take the new daughter-in-law back to his
home.

Another Big Strike to be Inaugurated

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May PA meeting
of the tribunal has been called. 1t was
supposed that the action taken before
settled all difficulties between the railroad
and miners. But the operators have Just
discovered that only five of the board
signed the agreement, although imme-
diately after the award the price ut all
pits was fixed at three cents. There are
tifty-siX pits in the railroad district, en-
ploying 5000 men. 1t has Just been
learned that preparations are going on
for big strike If the iron makers strike,
however, the miners will remain at work,
unless the scales are not satisfactorily
adjusted, in which event a miners strike
will be inaugurated.

FOREIGN NEWS.
Germany.

LEIPSIG, May l2.-Considerable inter.
est attaches to the case of NJ KrasZewski,
the Polish author, who, with number Of
others, were arrested two years ago,
charged with being connected with the
conspiracy for betraying secrets relative
to the German military organization. At
! the trial Of Kraszewski to-day the pro-
| ceedings were secret, nobody being ad-
! mitted but the officers for the prosecution
and the prisoners counsel and those in
timately connected with the case. The
prisoner is being tried OH charge OF
high treason, the Government processing
to be able to prove that he furnished
France, Russia and Austria with German
military secrets of great Importance, also
plans of the fortifications at Metz A Polish
journalist named Adder, who at the time
OF kraszewski's arrest gave the German
Ambassador at Vienna papers bearing on
the case, will be valuable witness for
the prosecution. A number of COM
promising documents alleged to have
been found in Kraszewski's handsome
residence at Dresden will be used in evil
dence against the prisoner. Able counsel
has been retained by the prisoner, who is
very wealthy. His friends claim that the
accusation is preposterous, as he is too
old to take an active personal interest in
such matters. They say the denuncia-
ton received by the German Embassy
at Vienna was actuated by malice, and
was private method of revenge taken
by a spy who was defeated in an attempt
at blackmail. The writings, however,
show intense bitterness toward Germany,
especially Prussia.

Days of suffering and nights of pain are
the unhappy lot of the victim of those
dreadful diseases, rheumatism and neural
sia. How readily relief may be gained is
testified by w. G. Field, pharmacist, of
1882 Cedar Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. For
fifteen years he had been an almost constant
sufferer at times being unable to lie down.
Four doses OF the new specific, Athlopho-
ros, drove the disease from his system, and
he writes that the remedy cannot be recon-
mended too highly.

According to the Lyon Medicale, SUI
cides by drowning are more frequent
during the Summer, while hanging ard
poisoning are preferred in Winter.
Poisoning was once the favorite mode
of suicide, but hanging has gradually
become more popular. In France ma
ture men generally hang themselves,
and young men shoot themselves in the
head. Women throughout Europe, ex-
cept Russia, prefer death by drowning.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Negotiations for It's Construction b,
Private SubscrIption.

Negotiations for It's Construction by
Private Subscription.
Some time ago, says Washington spe-
cial of the 18th inst. to the philadelphia
Press, a report was sent through the
country by telegraph that the Nicaragua
canal enterprise had been abandoned.
This statement is denied by gentlemen
who are interested in the Nicaragua COM
pany. In the last Congress an effort was
made to secure a national charter for the
company. but it failed. The company
was then incorporated under the laws of
Colorado, and. since that time, negotia-
tiOns with prominent capitalists have
been in progress looking to the cOnstruc-
ton of the canal by private subscription.
1t Is said there is good prospect for
the successful termination Of these necO-
tiations, and if the hopes of the promoters
are realized preliminary work on the
isthmus viii be begun soon. The con-
cesslon made the company by the Mica
raguan Government requires certain
work to be done by the 1st OF October. 1t
is expected that this work will be duly
performed. insuring the concession to the
company for the future.
At the beginning Of the present session
! Gen. R0secrans introduced bill i'm the
House to incorporate the company and
guarantee , per cent. interest upon its
capital stock for a period of 20 years.
/ This bill is slumbering in committee, and
there is no prospect of its passage by the
House.
\ gentleman interested in the enter
prise said to-day, the company even now
would much prefer that the United States
should secure, by direct negotiations with
the holders of the concession, the great
national interests that are at stake. The
! eOncessiOnists, he says, have always been
