TURN AGAINST PROHIBITION.

MANSFIELD, Nov. 2O.-The effect of
the decision of the supreme court on
the Scott law is being severely felt
throughout this section of Ohio. It is
said by persons who have made a
special investigation of the matter that
no less than forty-five new saloons have
been opened in Richland County since
that decision, and the prospect for a
large additional increase is very fatter-
ing. In the city of Mansfield there
have been four new ones opened, while
a number who had been selling call on
the quiet for the past year and half,
during the existence of the Scott law,
opened up in full blast. Parties are
also talking about starting a new brew
cry, and from present Indications the
impetus given the whisky business by
the Democratic supreme court has been
all that could be desired by any dealer
in the ardent. Previous to CHS out
rageous decision Mohicsnville, in
Ashland County, village of
perhaps hundred inhabitants,
had not single saloon, but
within ten days afterwards the town
had two, and both of them are doing
land office business. The fact is becom-
ing more apparent every day that when
the Prohibitionists put up third can
didate for the presidency they defeated
the only party from whom they might
ever expect to receive assistance Re-
publicans who have always been known
to be advocates of the cause of temper
ance now openly avow that as long as
that element persists in meddling in
national affairs it shall receive no coun-
tenance. Since the November election
the question of the liquor traffic has
been largely discussed, an interest has
been taken in it by persons that are u.s.
ually wont to stand aloof whenever it is
discussed. The sentiment against pro-
hibition now is such that it would be
defeated by an overwhelming vote be-
cause of the fanaticism of it's advocates,
while an amendment TO the constitution
granting license would sweep the
whole of this part of the state. The
nonsensical candidacy of st. John for
the presidency has put back the cause
of temperance more than the combined
efforts of all the whisky element could
have done i'll twice the time.

TO PUT THE HOUSE IN ORDER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. co.
The white house is to be put
in splendid repair this winter for
the reception of the new president.
One could scarcely suggest an improve
ment. were he to go through it, but
Tiffany's artists will be sent down
here from New York, and what they
can't think of is beyond the ken of an
artist. New carpets and decorations
and much painting will be INDUCED.
Then everything will be rejuvenated,
SO that the old building will have a new
atmosphere. This will be mostly done
before the New Year reception. It has
been suggested that President Arthur
give reception to his successor on the
Sd of March, as has been done by few
past presidents, but it is not likely that
that will be done now.

FORCED OUT.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Nov. 1.-THE
bank commissioners have obtained an
injunction from the supreme court
restraining the Portsmouth Trust and
Guarantee Company of this city from
a further continuance of business. The
institution was incorporated in 1871
with capital of 100000 and a guararn-
tee fund of the same amount for the
protection of depositors. The directors
issue statement showing that the
guarantee fund has been impaired
through the depreciation of real estate.
The amount of the impairment is stated
to be about $4,000. The directors
state all the depositors will eventually
be paid in full. The deposits amount
10 SAT-, 900 with $50 depositors, mostly
poor people. The loss will fall upon
the stockholders.

GOLDEN HAIR.

New YORK, Nov. IA general alarm
was sent out from police headquarters
yesterday afternoon for Arthur G. Bis
bee, young man who has been missing
since Saturday afternoon. He was en-
ployed in his fathers shoe-store. Later
dispatch was received from the High
Bridge police station stating that the
body of man supposed to be Arthur G.
Bisbee had been found in the woods
near One Hundred and Seventy fifth
Street and Central Avenue. The body
was lying in clump of bushes about
300 feet west of the avenue. In the
right temple was a bullet-wound, and
close beside the body lay small revol-
yer. Some scattered pieces of paper at
tracted the attention of the officers, and
they picked them up, and on piecing
them together made the discovery that
they formed rude target, traced with
a lead pencil. Two bullets had perfor-
ated the bull's-eye. Without doubt the
unhappy man had set up a mark and
deliberately practiced at it until he felt
sure that his aim was sufficiently steady,
and had reloaded the weapon and fired
the shot that put an end to his exist
ence. A long tress of beautiful golden
hair, carefully tied with piece of bright
red ribbon, was clenched in the dead
man hand.

AFTER MANY TRIALS.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 21.-John
Bush (colored) was hung here at Il 80
P. M, to-day, for the murder of Miss
Annie Van Meter five years and eleven
months ago. Bush was in the employ
of James Van Meter, father of the girl,
when the killing occurred. Bush and
the girls father were engaged in Gift
Guilty, when Miss Van Meter, coming in
the range of Bush's pistol, was shot in
the thigh and afterwards died of the
wound. Bush was taken to the scat
told at II M, and after religious
services he was allowed to speak. He
spoke ten minutes, giving an account of
the way the killing occurred and main
tanning his innocence to the last. He
claimed that Van Meter shot his own
child while attempting to shoot him.
Miss Van Meter was about II years old.
Bush has had four trials in the circuit
court, four in the state superior court,
one IN the United States circuit court
and one in the United States supreme
court. He was firm to the last, going
on the trap with a smile on his face.
He was pronounced dead in seven min
utag.

BURNING OF A HOTEL.

HAvERHILL, Mass, Nov. 20.-The
Brickett building, comprising several
stores in the basement, the Creighton
House, Mrs. Clark proprietress, and
several boarding-houses in the rooms
above, was burned this morning. The
fire originated in the hotel and quickly
spread to the roof, four stories above.
The hotel had twenty mine inmates, who
barely escaped with their lives. Several
tied their bed-clothes together and
came down cdtside the building. One
man was badly cut by sliding down a
telephone wire. A baby was tied up in
a s. eet and thrown to fireman. Kate
Gilmartin and JOSIE Branahan jumped
from the fourth story window. The for
mer received fatal injuries and the lat
ter was seriously hurt. The losses are
as follows: rockingham & Underhill,
druggists, $4,000; insurance, $1,000.
Frank Page, $4,000. Mrs. Clark, 49,
900; insurance, $1,000. On building,
$4,000. Individual loss, $4,000. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

THAT STRANGE DISEASE.

LYNCHBURG, Va, Nov. 21.-Local
papers in the counties visited by the
fatal scourge make only one brief men
ton of its ravages, but further informa-
ton shows that former reports were not
exaggerated. The Gaysville Times, in
Wise County, says $50 deaths occurred
in that county. The disease spreads
over considerable section, but is worse
in Wise, Lee, Buchanan and Dickinson
counties. Rains have fallen there in
the last two days, and the foul water
supply which was supposed to have
caused the trouble is replenished by
fresh water, and the disease is abating
rapidly. Physicians describe it as acute
typhoid dysentery.

AN INDIANA FAILURE.

Indianapolis, Nov. 19.-The suspen-
sion of the banking house of Hyatt,
Levings & Co., of Washington, Davies
County, created much alarm through
out that section, as the establishment
was considered in frst-class condition
and it's stockholders thought to be gilt
edged. The institution was private
house and large part of the business of
Washington was deposited with it. Mr..
j. @. Billhiemer, one of the assignees,
states that the liabilities will proba-
bly, reach $122,0OO, and estimated
assets are about $100,000-if the
figures of Mr., Hyatt, one of the mem
bers of the firm, are correct. The
individual members of the firm
are Mr.. Elisha Hyatt and Jared
Levings. Others are also interested.
The firm has good backing, inasmuch as
Mr.. Elisha Hyatt is estimated to be
worth over half million; although this
wealth is all in real estate and cannot be
Immediately realized upon. The bank
was organized in 1865. and met with
several reverses in 1873, during the

JERSEY H0oDLUMs.

JERSEY CITY. Nov ia horrible
outrage by Jersey City hoodlums came
to light this morning. The victim was
Mrs. BridgetLyrch, aged As, who resides
with her aged husband in dilapidated
shanty on the meadows near the Hack
ensaok River. The couple were awak-
ened Sunday night by loud rapping at
the door. Mrs. Lynch, from the win
dow, recognized Felix Woods, aged Is,
Anton Dickinson, aged Is, and Michael
Nash, aged 18--all three beng known
to her as desperate characters-ands she
refused to open the door. As they
persisted, the woman called her husband
who came forward with an axe handle
just as the door gave way. The old
man was overpowered and brutally
beaten. In the meantime his wife ran
for assistance, but the rufians pursued
and overlook her, and disregarding her
appeals Tor mercy, dragged her into the
bushes and repeatedly outraged her.
They only departed after threatening
the pair with death if they reported the
facts to the police. The terror stricken
and injured pair kept silence except
that the husband told the tale to an ac-
quaintance who repeated it to the police.
The guilty trio have been captured and
identified.

CAUSE OF THE RIOT.

MADRID, Nov. 21.-Following is the
official account of yesterdays disturb
ance on the part of students. The
provincial bishop communicated Prof.
Morayta on the ground that he had de-
livered irreligious addresses. Then
Senior Necedeles, son of a native chief
of the Carlists and editor of the Ell
Segle Future, asked the students
to sign declaration approving
the bishops conduct. The Lib
eral students. protested against
this and out of this the disorder rose
among the students. The rector of the
university, who is partisan of Senior
Sagasta, the Liberal leader, didn't sup
press the disturbance, but resigned.
The disorder thereupon spread to the
streets and Republican partisans joined
the students in uttering seditious cries.
Revolvers were fred by some of the ex-
cited persons in the throng and several
of the police and the rioters were
wounded. Sixty eight persons were ar
rested.

ANOTHER LONDON SCANDAL.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-A noteworthy libel
case was begun to-day. Frank Mantell
Adams, London barrister, sues Bern
ard Coleridge, son of Lord Chief JUS
tice Coleridge. Adams conducted his
own case. In his opening speech he
stated that he was engaged to daugh-
ter of Judge Coleridge. The Judge OBJ
jected to him for a son-in- law, and in
duced his son Bernard to write letter
to his daughter hbeling him (Adams).
The young lady turned the letter over
to her betrothed. This led to her ex-
pulsion from her fathers house and ex-
punging her name from her fathers
will. The defendant entered a plea
that letter was privileged communi-
cation. The letter written by Bernard
Coleridge to his sister warned her
against Adams as. a man utterly desti-
tute of character and moral principle.
His own family, it said, summed him
and he had failed throughout life.
Furthermore Adams had eloped with a
girl under age and had treated her
badly after their marriage. A daughter
of Adams was boarded by her relatives
in order to rescue her from her father.
The letter also declared that Adams, in
seeking to marry Miss Coleridge, was
prompted only by a desire to gain
money and position. He had admitted
that he considered Miss Coleridge de-
void of personal charms. The brother
concludes his letter by reproaching his
sister for ingratitude toward her father
for his great kindness
