LouisviIIs Leaf Tobaceo Market,


The action Of the market has been decsA-
edly more favorable to sellers, but not
equally SO on all grades, though all have
been firm. Dark and heavy lugs and me-
dium leaf have been strong, and crop offer
ings in that category have been especially
brisk and higher, advancing 75c@ @l50 per 100
lbs, with considerable sales at a still
greater advance. A spirited competition
between large New York holder and the
buyer for the Spanish Reggie is the source
Of the exceptional strength in the style de-
scribed, and there is considerable conject-
ure as to the probable duration Of the con
test. The point appears to be to prevent
the Spaniard from obtaining his needed
supplies at cheaper prices in Louisville than
in New York, and the principal fight is on
new crop tobacco. Burley tobaecos OF all
grades have been more uniformly firm,
with low and high relatively strong, and
intermediate grades steady. Smoking luss
are still In active demand. We quote as
follows for 1885 tobaccos of fair to good
body and substance. Thin, green. end un-

A FAMrLYs FATE.
Father. Mother and Two Little Ones Perish
In Their BarnIng Home.


DETROIT, December 16.--About . o'clock
this morning parties returning from a lodge
by way OF the Dix Road, just beyond the
city limits, discovered the house Of Frank
Knoch, a German Lutheran, who kept a
farm and market garden, in flames. The
home was small frame shanty, and as
there were no facilities for extinguishing
the fire the place was wholly consumed
When the ruins had cooled sufficiently TO
permit OF investigation a searching party
was formed. An hours presistent search
revealed the chHrred body OF Knoch and
wife, A little distance from both was
found the charred body Of child. Knoch's
two children, George aged three years,
and Frank Albeit, aged nine months, were
IN tue house mt TIE time, but which Of these
tho body represented could not be ascer-
tnincd owing to lie condition. The fire is
believed 10 have originated from an oil
stove which had been used 10 heat food for
the baby, who had been sick.
LATRg.-F Frank Knoch was known 10 have
money In the house, which he had been
saving 20 make some payments. The
searchers In the ruins found a revolver,
aud Il Is known that Knoch never owned
one These two facts lead 10 the suspicion
that murder was committed for the sake OF
robbery, and the building then fired to
cover up the crime. ihe position In which
the ashes OF the family we're lying
would seem 10 oppose this suspicion, How
thing about the house having been com
pletely consumed. The body of the baby
was not at first found, aud II was thought
the flames had entirely devonred IL. Later
the searcherH found the efumbling ashes OF
what had once been the youngest child.

ALL HOPE ABANDONED
OF Saving the Miners Imprisoned
in the Slope at Nanticoke.
rwenty-four Lives Almost Certainly Como
Out In the Coal Mine.

WILKEsBaRKE, Pa, December 20.-To-day
was the gloomiest day ever witnessed in
Naaticoke. Thousands of people poured
into the town, in vehicles, on horseback
and on foot. Hundreds OF them gathered
in groups around the various working,
where they discussed the situation Of q 9
imprisoned men, A message was brought
here from Nanticoke this morning TO the
effect that William EllIe had been found in
the gangwny and evidently bad been
dead several hours. At the COM
peny's office this was denied. They
state that the situation remains
unchanged from that of yesterday, though
they hourly expect to reach the fatal spot
where the entombed are supposed TO be.
The rescuing parties are continuously ut
work, under direction of Superintendent
Morgan. There is no hope Of rescuing any
OF the victims alive. At s o'clock this
evening the rescuing party struck mass OF
wet sand, and forty-five additional men
were sent in 10 remove IL. At - O'Clock an
official report was received at the COM
pany's office here TO the effect that the
rescuing party were then within twenty
feet of the fatal chamber, and were hoping
to reach the imprisoned men by eleven
o'clock. II: 80 o'clock q message was
brought from the pit in which the RELIEF
party are at work. The messenger reported
q
ously. but that they had not yet reached
the Imprisoned miners. From the present
outlook il is doubtful II they gain entrance
to the fatal slope chamber before to-mor-
row. Almost as fast as the sand is re-
moved IL fillsin again. and the men are
now laboring under great difficulties. No.

A ROMANCE IN POLITICS.
The Mexican Revolution Brought About
by Love for the Most Beautiful
of SenoritnG.

New YoRK, December l6.--'The brother OF
Governor Sepulyeda, who is now here, says
the eutire difficulty In Neuvo Leon, Mexico,
originated In the personal rupture between
Diaz and Gonzales. Everyone in Mexico
says Sepulveda knows that while Diay
was serving his first term as President,
he entered into a solemn compact to
so shape matters that Gonzales
would succeed him. Diaz faith
fully fulfilled that compact apd so ar.
ranged matters in the seven greatnortherI
States that they all went To Gonzales when
the election occurred. When Gonzales as
sumed the presidency he, in turn, made a
similar compact with Diaz that the latter
should again be President. This compact
also was faithfully observed, and the
two Caesars thus divided Mexico
Shortly after Diaz was inaugurated
last year, Gonzales approached
him for renewal OF their former compacts
The promise WAS given, so Ganzales
friends declare, that she latter should again
be President In order 10 fulfill this last
compact Diaz bad but TO leave the North
ern States as he found them, viz. in the
hands Of Gonzales adherents. At this
point, says Senior Sepulvedn, the hand OF q
designing woman came between the two

senorita in Mexico, ths only daughter
Of Don Manuel Romero Robio. Un-
fortunately, her noble father is ambitious
TO be President, and therein lies the hidden
secret. Robio Is now Cabinet officer, and
with the powerful influence OF his daughter
he has caused Diaz TO violate his last com
pact with Gonzales, and the unmistakabie
signal of their success is the accomplished
fact that Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, two
powerful Gonzales States, have been over
turned and seized by Diaz since his inaug-
uration. The heir apparent is now Robio,
and not Gonzales

WHY HE Dw1NDLED.
A Farmer Carries Frog In His stomach
Three Years.


PARKKRsBuRG, W. VA, December 20.-A
strange story, well authenticated, comes
from Lost Creek, Calhoun County. There
live in that neighborhood respectable
farmer named Joseph Donntain, who should
now be in the prime of vigorous manhood.
About three years since Mr.. Doun-
tain began to complain of pains
in the stomach, accompanied at times
with peculiar twitchings and jerk
ings Of that organ. These pangs were not
constant, hut were worse at times when
Dountain happened TO go longer than usual
without drinking water, Of which he swal-
lowed 4mense quantities. When he hap
pened TO have boon at a distance from
springs or streams at work, and was not
the pains and twitchngs Of his stomach
almost threw him into convul-
sons. His physical condition be-
came almost wreck. From an un.
usually powerful man of two hundred
pounds Dountain dwindled TO mere wreck
OF l05 pounds, whose only qualification
and pleasure seemed to consist in supply
ing himself with plenty of drinking gwater
A few days ago he came to the conclusion
that there was some living reptile or some
thing in his stomach. Having arrived at
tho conclusion, he consulted a physician,
VINO gave MIN a pOWeriui eueucf "meh
caused Dountain to throw up. After reich
ing ahd groaning till he WIS black
in the face, he succeeded In
throwing up an immense frog.
which weighed thirteen ounces. The rep
tile was still living after getting outside of
its habitation, but died in few minutes.
Dounta;n's intense relief after the success
of the ejectment proceedings can better be
imagined than described He is rapidly
regalning his lost manhood, but doesn't
drink such immoderate quantities Of water:
He keeps the frog in a Jar of alcohol, and
takes great pleasure in showing his strange
tenant to his many curious visitors
