A WESTERN GIRL

New YORK, Nov. "a.
The Sun says: Leona Dare, the acrobat
who caused panic in Princess theatre, Val

ping the trspeze performer, M. George is
well known here. She is very little, a
brunette and always wears her hair piled up
on the top of her head, in order to increase
her apparent height. She originally came
from the West where she learned the traDeze
business in a woodshed. She made her first
appearance in public at the Old Olympic
theatre, on Broadway. She there performed
the double trapeze act with John Hall in a
pantomine. She Immediately came into
public favor, partly on account Of her beauty
of figure, but principally because she was
born acrobat. John Hall fell in love with
her shortly after and they were married. She
engaled with a Humpty Dumpty troupe with
John Dutiand, but there Leona met with
Halls brother, George. He also was an
acrobat and took her husbands place in per
forming the double trapeze act. 1t broke her
husbands heart when she deserted him and

NEw YoRK. Nov. -.

NEW YORK, Nov. ~.
The Mail and Express says il is reported
that Mr.. Thomas A Hendricks returned to
the city from ALBANY in a decided huff yester-
day The meeting between the president and
vice president elect said to have resulted
if not in an open rupture AZ least, in a very
decided coldness. There are several stories
current concerning the trouble. The first is
that the president elect asked Gov Hendricks
for his views on the question of the cabinet
and party policy, and that Hendricks assumed d
such an air of dietation that Gov. Cleveland
at once informed him that he was overstepping
his bounds. Another story is to the effect
that without being asked at all, Hendricks
proceeded TO say what the party expected of
the new president, repeated in substance the
views recently expressed in his Brooklyn
speech, and that Cleveland at once informed
him that such policy did not at all meet his
appreciation; that he must be let alone to
make his cabinet and settle his own policy.
At this Hendricks is said to have taken
umbrage and limited that as between Cleve-
lands idea and Hendricks idea the demo-
cratic party would be found TO be with the
Indiana plan rather than the New York one.
This ended the interview. and Hendricks is
said to have Withdrawn, leaving matters in
this somewhat shaky cordition. Hendricks
Is said, by democrat acquainted with the
facts, To have entertained some of his callers
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Yesterday, with a
good deal of sarcasm concerning the head of
the ticket.
As the Indiana statesman thought OF the
matter the more incensed he seemed TO be"
said democratic POLITICAL today. "He
seemed 20 consider Cl,velands election more
of disgrace than anything that had happened
10 the democracy since Lincoln's first call for
troops, nor was his anger diminished by the
announcement that Cleveland had telegraphed
10 Senator Voorhees, of his own State asking
him TO come directly to Albany, request
that was Immediately complied with. Some
people think that the president elect has come
to the conclusion that the live democratic
senator, who has power to pass upon his
appointments, is of good deal more value
to him than is We, d. tcidet.
HeLurlcNs has an engagement to speak in
Newark, n, j., tonight. That done, he will
at once return to Indiana.

GREAT FAILURE.
Sugar Refining Company OF st. Louis EN-.
barrassed, Owing to Various
Causes.

ST. Louis, Nov. "a.
The Belcher Sugar Refining Co. is tempo
rarily embarrassed. The company is one of
the best known In America and was consider
ed one of the weslthest. The cause of the
suspension is said to be the immense beet
crop raised in Germany this year, the same
cause which brought about the failure of
Spreckles & Co. in California. Besides this
cause it is said that the enormous new build
ings put up by the company cost about half a
million dollars more than estimated.
The building covers square of ground and
is thirteen stories in height. Its heavy cost is
said to have destroyed the company's operat-
ing margin. There has been steady and
rapid decline in the sugar market Tor a year
or more, and all these things have combined
to bear down this great commercial enter
prise. The company was founded thirty years
ago by Belcher Bros, who. in a modest little
refinery in the southern part of the city near
the river, achieved great reputation for
their production and sowed the seeds for the
tremendous commercial growth which has
since attended the concern. Their works
were drowned out by the Mississippi flood.
and they moved to the north end of the city
and established works where the present re-
finery stands.

A DisAPPOiNTED CROWD.
The Fight Between Mitchell a"d Burke
First Class FiZLle.

New YORK, Nov. "a.
The much talked of boxing match between
Charles Mitchell and Jack Burke, who were
to have fought eight rounds. Marquis of
Queensbury rules, at Madison Square Gar
den, tonight, turned out to be a fizzle of irst
class. About 800 spectators and 90 reporters
went to see the great exhibition at "sparring
for points" Among the few we're police
captains OF various precints OF the city, VINO
had been specially orderd to be present The
necessary papers had been prepared and tine
stars OF the evening would have been prompt
ly arrested had they engaged in any slugging.
After some preliminary "set-tos" the master
of ceremonies announced: "In consequence
of the interest taken in the match bv the
district attorney and the police, Messrs.
Mitchell and Burke would give quaker ex-
hibition of sparring in three rounds according
to the latest rules of the peace society" The
men shook hands and went through farcical
exhibition which excited groans from the
few spectators. One Burke's glove chanced
to touch Mitchell's cheek; he bowed and
gravely apologized, more disgusted crow
than that which left the garden has rarely
been seen in this city. There was no decision
as to who was the winner.

EDINBURGH, Pa, Nov. "a,
This quiet little town is terribly excited
over double tragedy which occurred at the
Exchange Hotel here yesterday. The mur-
derer and his victim are Mr.. and Mrs Chss
Williams of Cambridge. They were married
about year ago but have lived unhappily
owing to the morbid and unwarranted jealousy
of Williams.
His wife was Miss Maggie Parshse of Ed

personal attractions, of which she was quite
conscious. She had many admirers, one of
them being clergyman. She preferred
Chss. Williams, who was an idle aud dissolute
fellow, with no visible means of support. who
during his courtship frequently showed his
insane jealousy. Her friends, foreseeing a
miserable life if she married him, earnestly
desired her TO break of the connection, but
she turned a deaf ear to all eulreaties. But
after marrying him she realized the full force
of the warnings which she had received. The
slightest attentions of ordinary politeness
shown her by her gentlemen friends were
regarded as frsught with concealed meaning
by her husband, and the life led by her at last
become so miserable that last week she packed
her valuables and left his house. going to

intention of occupying the room in the hotel
which his wife occupied, and the pair retired
to rest about midnight
An hour later Redmond was aroused BY
hearing Mrs. Williams exclaim; my God /!
Charlie, am innocent" ''You false devil,
you lie :" he heard Williams reply. Then a
shot was heard, followed by a terrible shrek
and a heavy fall. Redmond rushed up stairs
and was met on the landing by Williams, who
stood with revolver in his hand. He fired
twice at Redmond, but missed him. Then
putting the instrument to his own head he
fired, putting bullet through his brains and
fell dead on the landing. .His wife is still

A Saloon MObbed and the Proprietor
Killed.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. "a
Tie details OF "a startling tragedy occurring
in Bladensburg, about twelve miles south of
Mt. Vernon, the county seat, reached here
this morning. For many years there was no
saloon in town. In February man named
John Chaplin moved with his family from Mt
Vernon to Blsjensburg and opened saloon.
Chaplin took up his residence in house in
the rear of the saloon. Between midnight
and daybreak, Sunday morning, mob of
men, comprised of the leading prohibitonists
bearing axes, picks and shovels, made
furious assault Upon the saloon and the resi-
dence. Chaplin refused them admittance and
they petted the house with stones, one of
which passing through window struck Chaplin
on the head fracturing his skull The mob
then forced an entrance and proceeded to
completely destroy with axes the bar fixtures
and furniture of the place. They took the
stock of liquors aud piled it IN the street
Barrels of whiskey were then rolled from the
cellar and the whole stock was made a huge
bonfire in the street. In the meantime Chaplin
was found to be fatally injured and died
before medical aid could be obtained There
is intense excitement over the outrage and
Mt. Vernon roughs swear they will avenge
Chapins death. More trouble is feared.
