Lancashire undoubtedly contains some excel
lent lacrosse players, and all Manchester was
confident Yesterday that the prcsumptuous
Americans who ventured to engage the Lanca-
shire Association, representing six of the county
Clubs. would meet with inglorious defeat.
Long odds were wagered on the English play
ers. The Americans were little nervous, put
they nevertheless prevented their friends from
scoring a single goal while they put down no
less than four to their own credit. 1t is becom-
ing evident that though England may have
great many things to teach this country con-
corning some sorts of sport, in lacrosse the
American PLAYERS must be considered COM
petent to give rather than receive lessons.

Yesterday of the Democratic State Committee.

Mr.. Cleveland's boom is expected to show won

MIR. Blaine Treasures No Hard Feeling.

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-The following, from the Kenne-
bee Journal which is supposed to reflect the views of
Mr.. Blaine, is published here:
"The forthcoming municipal election in Boston
creates interest far beyond the limits of the city.
The Democrats whose strength largely increased
during the autumn by the offcious zeal of the mug
wumps, are disposed to seize the government of
the city for purposes with which their late associates
do not sympathiae. At first blush many Republic
might feel tempted to let the proper punishment
follow the evil course of the mugwumps. But no
such temptation will, in the end. influence single
Republican vote. Republicans for shorthved and
petty revenge cannot afford to let the metropolis of
New England pass under the yoke of Democratic
Tweed ring. Honest municipal government is one Of
the great ends for which the Republican party is
striving throughout the Union. We know reflect
the views of the Republicans of Maine without ex
cepton when We urge a generous and enthusiastic
support of General Martin for reelection.

The Truth About a Sensational Story.

SPRINGFIELD Mass. Dec. 1.-The sensational story
of sprituast taking Paris green at her home
in Montgomery and her husband sitting by her side
during the long night Watching her dying struggles
takes different aspect with the later positive state
ment of the man, Isaac E. Bronson. He squarely de-
MES all the peculiar features of the story and gives
straightforward natural version of the affair. He
says that his wife has been for some time subject

might attempt to take herlie. On the night in ques-
ton she awoke him from his sleep at about midnight
and calmly asked him; 'Ant you sorry for mel
have been taking PARIS green" He Immediately rose
and known to him to the fatal consequences of
the drug, and when he she was growing worse in
spite of his efforts he summoned the family, the
neighhors and physician, but the poison had worked
too long to be checked. Mr.. Bronson denies all the
expressions attributed to him. except the words used
when it was limited that he might be accused of murder
and declares that though he is spirtualst he is far
from sanGtoning Redistribution. In the light of his
story the affair resolves itself into of ordinary
suicide, unwarrantably magnified.

UNHAPPY NEW BRUNSWICK.
A Spirited Discussion of the Annexation
Question by the St. John Board of Trade.

ST.. JOHN, n. B., Dec. 1.-The annual meeting
of the Board of Trade was largely attended and
the proceedings were spirited. The president
brought up the subject of the treaty between the
United States and the West India islands, and
showed how St.John and the maratime provinces
generally would be injuriously affected He sug-
gested a convention of business men or boards
of trade of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
Prince Edward Island and Newfound-
land. Mr.. Fairweather presented reso-
lutons setting forth that as certain express
slons in regard to the subject of annexation
to the United States were used at the late board
anda misl eadlng impression thereof had gone
forth, and the threat of that board to seek an
neXatlon unless certain trade arraug ements were
obtained would tend to thwart such trade nego-
tlatlons being brought about-movements favor
able to such arrangements being now in progress
and as such annexation would be dam
aging to our prospects, and asthe depression here
is due to unremunerative trade in lumber and
ships, which depression extends to the United
States and Europe, any unusual or extreme
proposal of remedial measures is not called for,
and, therefore,
Resolved, That the board is opposed to the idea of
Acknowledgement of the Dominion by annexation to any
other country"
Mr.. Fairweather said he was opposed to an
nexatlon on POLITICAL patriotic and commercial
grounds, and claimed that New Brunswick was
advancing more rapidly than Maine.
W. Henry Thorne seconded the motion, and
said if we expect to progress we must not decry
our country
Mr. Robertson complained that the govern
ment had not taken cognizance of the existing
treaty, which njuriously affects Canadian vessels
trading with the Spanish West Indies. He
would not retract a word he uttered last week
The Spanish American treaty is prima faoie evil
dence that Canada is not cared for by the impe-
rial govern ment. treaty with the United
States and reciprocity is what we want In
stead of paying attention to maritime provinces,
the Dominion government is devoting its ener-
gies to the Northwest and the Pacific railroad.
MIR. Henry Thorne moved that it was not ex-
pedient to call for vote of this board on any
political question.
Mayor Jones said the people had been living
on promises and they are now threatened with
loss of West India trade, and will be shut out
of the American markets. New Brunswick had
been going down for ten years, and he wanted to
keep itfrom going any lower.
John N. Ellis, NJ p, objected to any attempt
to muzzle free speech in free country. Colo
NAL relation is not favorable to the development
of the country. Canada requires treaty making
power, and we want fair trade with the United
States.
George Stewart condemned the confederation,
and opposed annexation. The meeting adjourned
until TO morrow.

FURNISHING A DUDE.
A Whole Opera Company Winking Their
Right Eyes at Him.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Last evening" despite
the watchful care of the stage door-keeper, at
Haverly's Theater, note was delivered to Miss
Lilly Post, who was singing the title role in
"Desiree." 1t read as follows:
My Dear Miss Post: have seen your charming i'm
personaton of Desiree, and am DESTROYS of becom-
ing acquainted with you and for that purpose invite
you to sup with mo after the performance. am
aware that have more cheek than brains but have
plenty of money, and am New Yorker. shall be
seated in sixth left third seat from the center
aisle. II You accept my invitation, when you come
forward for your solo in the second act please wink
with your right eye. 1 will have a carriage at the
stage-door
Miss Post exhibited the letter to various mem
bers of the company. 1t was resolved that the
conceited New Yorker should be punished. So
when the curtain rose on the second act and the
whole company was on the STAGE De Wolf Hop
per, who, as Pommeret, should be the first to
speak, walked deliberately to the footlights with
the letter in his hand, and, putting on his eye
glasses, began to count, in a manner which at
tracted the attention of the entire audience,
until he singled out the New Yorker, who was
beginning to squirm under such close scrutiny.
Mr. Hopper then removed his glasses, and,
after once more glancipg at the letter,
slowly and solemnly winked his right
eye, and pointed over his shoulder towards the
back door The audience by this time began to
suspect the position of affairs and all eyes were
fixed upon the sixth row. Then Mark Smith
stepped to the front, and, in the same manner as
Mr. Hopper, winked and pointed over his Shout
der, while the unlucky dude seemed trying to
shrink out of sight behind his neighbors. But
the end was not yet, for, as though at q concert
ed signal, the entire company-principals and
ehorus--faSteped their gaze upon the now thor
oughly uncomfortable young man, and each delib-
eratey winked the right eye. This was too much
for his dudeship and rising in his seat, he beat
a hasty and inglorious retreat amid shouts of
lauphter
