A ROYAL wedding in Prospect.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The current number of
Truth asserts that the recent conference at
Sziernievice between the Emperors of Germany
and Austria and the Czar of Russia had at least
one important result that has not hitherto been
reported 1t states that at that conference a
new alliance was arranged between the Romanoff
and Hoilenzolern houses, which is to be accom-
plished in due time by the marriage of the
Czarovitch Nicolas Alexandrovitch, of Russia,
to one of the younger daughters of the Crown
Prince, Frederick William, of Germany. The
prospective bridegroom is not yet seventeen
years old, and of the two princesses indicated
the elder Sophie Dorothe, is but fourteen, and
her sister Marguerite Beatrix. but twelve years
of age. 1t is not probable therefore. that the
marriage will take place for several years, but it
will be notable and significant event when it
does occur, as it will result in placing a German
CZarina.

The EnterprIsing Style in Which a Pill Man
Pushes His Business.
LONDON, Dec. PA leading manufacturer of
pills in London has conceived an advertising
scheme which is as novel and audacious as the
most brilliant fights of American genius in that
direction. He has forwarded to General Wolse
ley, who is now marching toward Khartoum,
1000 copies of bill, in which the virtues of
his pills are extolled in the highest terms Ac-
companying the hand bills is the manufacturers
check for f150, which he asks Lord Wolseley to
award the first soldier of his expedition who
shall reach General Gordon's palace at Khar-
toum, and shall paste on its door copy of the
hand bill In his letter the enterprsing pill
maker says his offer is made from patriotic mo-
tives, and with desire to stimulate the soldiers
to reach and rescue General Gordon at the earl-
est possible moment. He says that he has sent
a large number of the hand-bills so that each
soldier in the expedition can be furnished with
copy, and thus have even start in the race, as
far as he provide for it. His object in pre-
scribing that the bills shall be stuck on the pal
door is simply to show who is entitled TO the
prize, and he adds that the name of the winner
will be published in every paper in England

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 24.-Great excitement
has been caused at Bloomfield over the death
bed confession Of John Lowder to the murder OF
Peter Lozier Of Belleville, Ont, in December

over night. Shortly after they had retired
knock was heard at the front door, and on its
being opened two masked men rushed in, one
with shotgun, the other with revolver. They
demanded money. Lozier rushed out Of the
bedroom and closed with one of the burglars,
who managed to fire revolver, the ball passing
through Lozier's heart after which the assas-
Sins managed to escape. Joseph Tompsett ana
the two Lowders were arrested for the murder.
Tracks in the snow were traced from Jones s
house, where the murder had been committed.
across the fields to the homes of Tompsett and
Lowder Tompsett's boots fitted in the tracks.

tation, and had been suspected of being con-
neoted with some of the thieving that had been
going on for the past few years in that vicinity
Chief McKinnon, of Belleville worked up the
case against them and they were duly tried:
Tompsett and George Lowder were convicted
chiefly on the evidence of the footprints in the
snow and were hanged. Both protested their
innocence on the scaffod. John Lcwder, who
died on Friday, is said to have confessed to hav-
ing murdered Iozer and to the innocence OF the
two men hanged.

vision of the common property. Judge Sullivan's
decision is very prehensive. containing q, 600
words. After reviewing the testimony he con

and as such entitled to divorce on the ground
of wilfui desertion, and the division of the com
mon property. The latter is estimated to be
worth $4,000, 600. The verdict is a great sur
fSise to the public, it having been generally sup

testimony, that the plaintiff would have been

ing, as an east-bound passenger train on the
Southern Pacific, was nearing bridge crossing

the train. Six cowboys boarded the train, and,
with drawn revolvers compelled the conductor
to stop at Langtry, the next small station At
Langtry twenty more cowboys boarded and took
possession of the train. They were all more or
less under the influence of liquor, and amused
themselves by shooting out all the window lights
and lamps and terrorizing the passengers gen
orally. AS the train passed small stations the cow
boys would shove their heads out of the broken
windows and shoot and yell A passing freight
train was saluted in similar manner Several
hundred shots were fired, and the roof of the
cars rddled They robbed the train boy of his
stock of peanuts and candies, but so far as
