Curious Scene In British Y. NJ. @. A.
Meeting.

Rev. Stuart Ross formerly rector OF
Christ church, ut Belfast, Ireland, was ad-
dressing the Plymouth, Eng.) Young Mems
Christian society recently, when Charles
Joy, the Canadian immigration commits
sioner burst into the room and shouted,
you hypocritc. you eloped with my
wife!' Ross turned pale and fled
from theroom. isnudicncc was surprised
and grea tly cxitcd. The moment that many
oftliem realized what was the matter they
became bowling mob and pursued their
lecturer for a mile, yelling all the time. At
driven to bay, turned suddenly and stabbed
two OF his most active pursuers. Others
coming up at the same moment seized and
disarlncd the murderous rector. The p0-
lice then put in an appearance and arrest
ed Ross. He was taken before % magis.
tratc when charges were made agninst him
and he was rcnanded for IL week without
bail. Ross disappeared from Belfast
two years ago, leaving IL wife and
two children. Mrs. Joy, who was
a teacher in his Sunday school,
also disappeared at the same time, which
led to q report that the couple had eloped.
This rumorwas confirmed when Mr. Joy re-
ceived a letter from Ross, in which the latter
said: "Your wife has undergone malpractice
and you had better arrange for obtaininga
divorce from her." Mrs. Joy was found in
the prisoners lodgings, and when informed
OF her paramOur's arrest, gloried in her
connection with the Lords Amounted"
as she called her illicit lover. She attended
court, and sat in u brazen manner through
out the whole proceedings.

Acquittal of Mrs. walkup.

Emporia, Kansas, Special: The jury in
the case OF Mrs. Walkup, on trial for killing
her husband, returned verdict OF not
guilty. The verdict, while not giving univcr-
sal satisfaction, was received with delight
by Mrs. Walkup's friends. When the jury
first went out they were evenly divided,
and remained 80 for several hours, when
stood seven for acquittal against
five for conviction, when the five
gave way and u verdict OF not guilty was
rendered. When they informed Mrs. Wal.
kup that the jury had returned a verdict
Of not guilty she exclaimed, MY God! is
that so?" and her eyes filled with tears;
but when the sheriff told her she could af-
ford to brace up, she wiped her tears away
and went with him into the court room,
where she was congratulated. She says
she will not take any OF her husbands q
property. The estate will not amount to
more than $4,000, and her share OF it
will but slightly more than pay the ex-
penses of the trial.

At various times during the last fiI

At various times during the last fif-
teen years the city of Evansville, Ind,
issued bonds to aid in the building of
railroads, wharves and other improve
ments, and also redemption bonds,
the total amount of which is about
81, 500, 900, which, in addition to the
accrued interest, now amounts to
81, 100000. The interest was paid
regularly for ten years, up to 1883,
when further payment was refused,
and suit brought to enforce it. The
decision of the federal court is, that
Evansville must pay both interest and
principal. Reputation does not
meet with the least countenance in the
federal courts.

DIR. Abbott, of the state health

DIR. Abbott, of the state health
board of Massachusetts,, reports the
death rate from consumption in that
commonwealth as thirty-one in ten
thousand for the ten years ending
1888; and he gives it as his opinion
that statistics will show it to be not
over twenty-nine for ten thousand for
1884. In the decade from 1857 to
1867 the death rate from this disease
was thirty-five in every ten thousand.
There can be no question but that
consumption is growing less fatal in
its character and many medical men
now place it among the curable dis
eases. The decrease is easily ac-
counted for. 1t is owing in q great
measure to more comfortable living
and surroundings, and less exposure
to inelement weather.

Meade remained in nominal command
