LATE NEWS ITEMS.


THE Senate was not in session on the
18th. The day session of the House was
almost entirely taken up with the discus
sion of a resolution introduced by Mr..
Warner (of Ohio), who claims that his
colleague, J. d. Taylor, during the recess
had printed In the Record a speech that
was not delivered on the floor, and which
reflected on commit ees of the Senate and
the House, on members, and on the House
itself. He wanted that speech expunged
from the Record. 1t seems that the speech
referred to was a thrust at pension legis-
lation, and Mr.. Warner was chairman OF
the House Committee having in charge
some special pension matters. Mr.. w Warner
animadverted on the prevailing custom of
printing speeches in the Record that are
never delivered on the floor. On this lat
ter point Mr.. Cox (of New York; was
called to his feet and the debate was both
spicy and fiery at times Mr.. Warmers
resolution was adopted. The House also

CRIME I'M GOTHAM.


Ladies' Assaulted and Robbed On Public
oroughfares-PIuclSy Resistance by
millionaire widow to an Assault by Three
ERobbers-No Police Where Police Ought
TO BE.
NEW YORK, Deeemb'r Il.
Mrs. William Humphrey, the California
widow whose husband was connected with
the Big Bonanza and who estimates
her wealth at millions, was attacked and
almost garrotcd in West Thirteenth street
to-day. Her reticule, containing $500 in
checks and as much more cash, was
snatched from her hand and ripped
apart, but owing to the lady's heroism
and the ready assistance of several
other ladies' and gentlemen passing hy,
she lost only $40. At noon Mrs HUM
phrey left her residence to cash checks
and do some shopping, placing her cash
and checks in her reticule. She first went
to Macy's aud purchased several small
presents for Christmas, and cashed 5000
of checks. 1t was then her intention to
60 to Tiffany's, but noticing
THREE YOUNG MEN
keeping close to her and suspecting that
they had seen her cash her check, she re-
turned to Macy's, but when she again
came out the men were at her heels.
Mrs. Humphrey then hurried across
town. When she crossed Seventh ave-
nue. the first man came nearer to her
and touched her on the shoulder, say
ing in an inquiring tone of voice; 81
believe this is Thirteenth streetT"
cit isl Mrs. Humphrey replied, calm
ly, "and you and your friends behind
had better pass along" Without an
other word the desperate threw the lady
against the iron railing of one of the
houses and said: "Let go that bag or
Pn
BEAT YOUR DRAINS OUT
on the railing" Mrs. Humphrey shot
out her right arm and caught the villain
by the collar while she clung TO her rett-
cule with the other. The other two men
then spTang forward and bent the lady
backward over the railing, while she
screamed for assistance and clung TO
the reticule. The side from which the
ladys handkerchief protruded was to
wards the men, the reticue was torn In
half, and one of the men snatched the
handkerchief side and fed. The other
two men fought, and the lady held the
other side of the bag. Several gentle
men who had noticed the garroting
rushed up Thirteenth street. A coach
also stopped and two ladies sprang out,
just as
THE MEN FLED.
The assault had not lasted more than ten
seconds. The ladies from the coach
went to Mrs. Humphrey and revived her.
The gentlemen, accompanied by a crowd
followed the desperadoes, but all es-
capped. An employe Of Macy & Co, said
that only three days ago a lady was pass
ing west along Thirteenth street when
she was attacked and $50 stolen from her.
and the day previous to that two ladies
were attacked on Seventh avenue and
Thirteenth street at six O'Clock and rob
bed. Captain Brogan of the Fifteenth
Precinct in which the crime occurred,
said he had heard nothing Of 10, and was
quite indignant when the character Of the
street was painted for him.

CROPS AND PRICES.

Report of the Bureau of Agriculture for
December-The General Decline In Prices
of Farm PrOducts-The General Averages.
WAsHINGToN, d. c., December II.
The Department of Agriculture reports a
general decline in prices of farm products
in home markets. This decline appears
to have depressed values somewhat aside
from an abundant supply. The average
price of corn is 36 1-2 cents, which is one
cent lower than the average for 1879,
when the supply in pro portion to popula-
tiOn was quite as large. 1t has been
lower but twice in ten years-in 1879 and
1873, after two previous years of abund-
ance. 1t is the highest in Florida, 80
cents bushel; and the lowest is Is cents,
in Nebraska. The average of value in
the South Atlantic States is from SO in
Delaware, to 70 in South Carolina, and so
In Florida. The increase is in the order of
movement, except Georgia, where it is 66
cents. In the more Western States it is
45 cents.
The average farm price of wheat is 65
cents per bushel, against 81 cents last De-
cember. The December price in thirteen
years has previously been below 81 cents
per bushel but five times, in 1874, '78, 80,
'82 and '83.
The average value of oats is % cents,
against SO cents last December. The
present value is the lowest ever reported
by the Department.
The plantation price of cotton as re-
ported ranges from 9 to I-3 cents per
pound. 1t is cents in Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Florida; lilo in Louisiana;
8 2-10 in Georgia; 8 $40 ia the Carolinas
Virginia.
The average price of potatoes is 40
cents per bushel, which is two cents
lower than last year.

Secretary Frelinghuysen and the Spanish
American Treaty.

American Treaty.
WAsHiNGToNsD. G., December u.
Secretary Frelinghuysen yesterday adj
dressed a long communication to the
President, in support of the proposed
new Spanish-American commercial
treaty. After detailing the advantages
to be secured TO our shipping, by the
reciprocal abolition of tonnage dues,
the abolition of consular fees, and the
important concessions for our agricul-
tural products and manufacturing
goods, the Secretary says he can not
doubt that the treaty viii work
immediate benefit to our citizens, our
trade and our vessels. The loss of rev.
enue which a reduction of the sugar and
tobacco duties involves harmonizes with
the policy which placed coffee and other
like products on the free list. With the
enlarged demand i'm Cuba and Porto Rico
for the articles which we are, by this
treaty, enabled to supply under favorable
conditions, a commercial movement to-
ward the Antilles from our shores must
spring up, which will tend to equalize
the present inequality Of trade between
them.
The passage of laws necessary to carry
the treaty into effect, the Secretary says,
rests wholly with Congress, and Gin
order that Congress may not suffer in the
meantime through stagnation, while
awaiting the result of their deliberations,
it is most desirable that no delay should
ensue in giving effect TO the convention,

A STRANGE STORY.


a Romance Of the DIssootlnR Tnble--A
Young Lady, Buried In a Trance and Resur-
rected by Medical Students. Comes To
the Dissecting Table, and Now Said 60
BE an Inmate of an Insane Asylum.
GREAT BARRNGToS, MASS, Dec. II.
A startling romance has just come to
light in Egremont township, and is caus-
ing much excitement. In 1879 Miss
Estelle Newman, daughter of an infu-
entail and wealthy family, apparently
died after long illness from spinal
complaint. There was an elaborate fu-
neral ceremony, and the body was buried
In due form. At the time OF Estelle's
supposed death and burial young
medical student, named Worth H. Wright,
was home from the Albany Medical Col
lege. This DIR. Wright graduated In
year or two and began practicing medi-
cine, but he was addicted 10 intemper-
ance, and one night at Newtown, Conn,
fell into the hands Of roughs
AND WAS MURDERED.
1t is now the report, which causes Glte
excitement, that Wallace Wright, brother
Of DR.. Wright, says that ON the night Miss
Newman was buried, in company with his
brother and two other medical students,
he proceeded to the cemetery an cxhumed
Miss Ncwman's body, filling the grave as
carefully as before The remains were
placed I'm a sack with good care and con-
veyed to the Albany dissecting rooms,
where, to the horror and surprise Of all,
the lady, with whom DR.. WriQht had for
several years been we'll acquainted, was
found to be alive and IN a brief period
came out of her trance She was insane
before the trance and so she continued
Being tenderly nursed she so far recovered
that she was taken to some insane asylum
in Schoharie County, New York, where
she
rs STILL ALIVE.
She frequently speaks of DR. Wright, now
deceased. In support Of this strange
story q cousin of Miss Newman learned
that a gentleman, of Hinsdale, Of good
standing In the community stated no
longer ago than Monday that the brother
Of the doctor informed him that the state
Inent II true, and that Worth Wright so
informed him. The relatives OF Miss
Newman appear loath 20 investigate, for
what reason Is unknown, unless It be the
expense Of supporting Miss Newman i'm
her insane condition, they hardly being
able at this time 70 assume so great a re-
aponsibility The informaut further
states that unless her relatives take ac-
tion soon the authorities will be applied
70 for permission TO open the grave,
which will settle the question whether
