SO far as Great Britain is concerned,
that there is yet to be general and

An Atlanta dispatch to the New York
Times says: About two months ego
jennie Rose was shot and killed by .
burglar. The family consisted of Char
lie Rose, his wife Jennie, who was an
invalid, and Miss Nancy Frazier, .
cousin of Mrs. Rose, who was IN tha
house - help. Miss Frazier stated that
she was awakened by the sharp report
Of pistol, and that - she opened her

jumping out of window, he escaped
Arising from her bed she went to the bed

upon that lady's head, she was shocked
to feel the clammy touch of human
blood. Mrs. Rose said only ooh! OH!
and expired. The bullet had entered
her eye, and, passing through her brain,
had lodged in her head. The husband,
who was an employe Of the Air Line
road, was sent for, but manifested nc
surprise when shown the dead body OF
his wife. There were many reasons
rendering the burglary theory improb-
able and suspicion fell upon the hus-
band and Miss Frazier. The couple
were arrested, as was also Miss Suggs,
with whom it was claimed that Rose
had been intimate. Both girls denied
that they knew anything Of the affair
After series of Explanations, continu-
ing for three weeks, Rose was discharged.
The character of Miss Frazier had not
been successfully attacked, nor was
any improper intimacy with Rose setah-
lished.
Late last night DR.. Carter was hur-
riedly called to attend Miss Frazier,
who was suffering fearful convulsioos
in child birth. When the child was
born it was found to have but one eye.

be having only the appearance of a
deep bullet wound. The child lived
but few moments, and at eight o'clock
this morning Miss Frazier died also,
and this evening the mother and
child were both buried in the same rude
coffin.

LATEST BUT STILL UNCERTAIN.

NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov g.
The Republican state committee, at mid
night, still claim this state by from &, 600 to
5000 for Blaine. Their estimates are
based upon the Democratic claims
of gains. which they believe are
not up to the increase of the
vote over 1880. TN which case they will
count for nothing The only way in which
they believe the state can be carried for
Cleveland is by fraud The Tribune
ut this hour claims that Blaine has
carried the state and il therefore elected
president Its belief is founded upon the
following figures: Returns from 1,742
election districts outside Of New York and
Kings counties give Blaine 3s9, 4O4, Geve-
land 332, 119. This leaues Blaines plurality
1925. In New York and Kings counties
the Democratic plurality will not exceed
68,b57-leaving C,eveland's plurality 1882,
with 1854 election distsicts to hear from.
Those districts in 1850 gave . net
Republican plurality Of 4,243. Tho same
proportion this year would give Blaine 2, 08l
plurality In tho stata The Tribune
now claims tho state BY 1900 plurality.
There il nothing, says the Tribune Sin the
returns from the remainder Of the state to
indicate . probability Of tho Democrats

house being three to one IN his favor.

Eating Lemons.

"A good deal has been said
through the papers about the
healthfulness Of lemons. The
latest advice is low to use them
SO they will do the most good,
as follows:
Nest people know the bene-
ut of lemonade before break
fast, but few know that it is
more than doubled by taking
another at night also. The way
to get the better Of the bilious
system without blue pills or
quinine is to take the juice of
one, two or three lemons, as ap-
petite Graves, in as much ice
water as makes it pleasant to
drink without sugar, before GO
ing to bed. In the morning, on
rising, at least a half hour be-
fore breakfast, take the juice of
one lemon in a goblet of water.
This will clear the system of
humor and bile with efficiency,
without any of the weakening
effects of calomel or Congress
water. People should not irri-
tate the stomach by eating LEM
ons clear the powerful acid of
the juice, which is always most
corrosive, invariably produces
inflammation after awhile; but
properly diluted, SO that it does
not burn or draw the throat, it
does its medicinal work without
harm, and, when the stomach is
clear Of food, has abundant OPP
portunity to work over the sys-
tenn thoroughly So says a
