Symunthy for Mime. Hughes,

PARIS, Nov. 2S.-M. Hugues, member
of the chamber of deputies, whose wifo
shot NJ. NORM yesterday, and who was
arrested along with her, has been set at
liberty. He states that Norm had been
continually sending insulting letters and
post to his wife. NJ. Hughes has
spoken in public praise of his
wife for avenging the calumnies
which were heaped upon her.
Nine. Hughes AYERS that she would have
killed NORM long ago if it had not been
for her husband, lie kept dissuading
her from an such act. The slander circu-
lated by NORM was that previously to her
marriage TO NJ. Ilugues the lady had been
the mistress of NJ. Lenormant, whose
wife was trying to obtain separation,
After he was wounded yesterday, NORM
wrote declaration, in which he said, IL
am innocent,' Tho public is enthusias-
tito in admiration of Nine. Hughes, 1t
is generally expected that she will be
acquitted.

PORT CHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 2s.-Mr.
Charles Il. Goodwin, of the firm of Charles
T. Goodwin Il Co., cracker manufacturers
of Front street, New York, left his house
about 2;30 this morning in distracted
state of mind and uttering horrible cries.
He was pursued unsuccessfully by his
wife and some neighbors. His mangled
body was found about 9 a, M, near the
railroad track, with tho head and right
arm cut oil, tho side of one hand severed,
and the heart and entrsils torn out. Mr..
Goodwin, who was about 62 years old,
leaves widow and three adult and two
young children. The recent failure of
his firm is supposed to have afflicted hls
mind. He was an active member of tho
West Chester Praying band and of the
church of Rev. DIR. Armitage in New
York. His homo was in Brooklyn, and
he was spending Thanksgiving day here
with some relatives.

Attempt to Blow Up Land Agents
House.

DUBLIN, Nov. 2s.-An attempt was
made at Tralee last night which nearly
proved successful, to destroy with dyna-
mite the residence of Mr.. Samuel Hussey,
known as Edinburn house. Many of the
windows and portion of the eastern wall
of the house were badly shattered. All
the members of the family were in tho
house at the time but nobody WAS in
jured. This was an exceedingly bold
outrage, as the house was under police
protection, and at the time of the ex-
plosion policemen were occupying huts
only short distance from the house.
No clew to the perpetrators has been dis
covered, aud no arrests have been made.
1t is believed that the explosive was
placed in the sewer under the back part
of tho house. After the explosion the
house looked as though it had been
bombarded. A split several inches wide
WAS made in the main wall and reached
from the ground to the roof. Great ex-
element prevails in Cork, where Mr..
Hussey is exceedingly unpopular. Mr..
Hussey is one of the largest land agents
in Ireland, and it has been known that "a
plot existed against his life.

Current Noteg,

With great truth remarks a contem-
porary: "Home extravaganza and fash
ionable follies are largely responsible
for wild speculations, defalcations,
failures and suicides in business circles.
The cost of living is not necessarily
great, but the cost of living as too many
American families seem determined to
live is fearful"
There are twenty -four savings banks
in the city of New York. During the
last six months the aggregate of deposits
has increased over four million of dol
lars. Assuming that these deposits are
made by the class ordinarily depositing
in savings banks, the showing is a good
one, inasmuch as it proves that the la
boring and middle class of people have
saved SO much out of their wages and
income.

How Edwin Forrest Frightened ,
SupernumerarY.

One of the best known American &C.
tors, who is now living in modest re-
tirement in Philadelphia, sat down the
other day and told stories of the stage
to party of friends. Here is one:
II began my professional career as a
supernumerary at one of the New York
theatres" said he, "and never shall
forget my first speaking part. Forrest
was playing Macbeth and I was sup
porting him by carrying a spear. At
the last moment the utility M an who
was to announce that Birnam Wood
seemed approaching Dunsinane was no.
where to be found. was very ambi-
tious and had often besought tie stage
manager to let me essay a speak
ing part. The golden opportunity
had come. I was selected to go
on in the utility mans place. A
few moments suf1iced to make me per.
feet in the one line I had to speak.
When heard my cue marched on the
stage and boldly announced to Mr.. For
rest: AS I stood looking toward Biz.
nam, anon me thought the wood began
to move Quick as flash Forrest had
seized me by the throat, forced me down
upon my knees and roared out in his
most terrible voice: Liar and slave!'
Being taken wholly unawares, really
thought my last hour had come and that
Macbeth was going to kill me. My face
was blanched with fear, my knees
knocked together ana had just strength
enough to articulate, Forgive me Mr..
Forrest, 1 didnSsmean to tell lie and
/ only said what the stage manager told
me- Like the difficult passages in novels
the shout that went up from the au-
dience may be better imagined than de-
scribed. The situation was too much
for even Forrest himself and for once
even old Metamora's stern features re-
laxed.

A dispatch from Oberlin, O., says: Last
Thursday night, after receiving report that
Blaine was elected, college students and citi.
zens built bonfire, discharged guns, fred an
wills and had jubilee, winding up by serenad-
ing prominent Prohibitionists, including one
professor, with tin pans, horns and other un-
musical implements. They paid visit
to the residence of Rev. Mr.: Mills, q
senior i'll the college and an ordained
minister, who had been q conspic-
nous advocate of the cause Of the Prohibi-
ton party. The moment the charivari began
in front of his house he fred four shots from
revolver into the crowd, one of which slight
ly wounded a student named Mitchell, piercing
the edge of his ear and grazing the side of his
bail for trial The feeling against him is re-
ported strong.
