taking OF an ordinary dinner, and dur

supposed TO be in dying condition.
DR.. William 5. Fleming, who first
treated Reilley, said that his patient
was attacked on Wednesday with
cholera mOrbus symptoms, violent
cramps, purging and vomiting. DR..
Fleming called about 10 O'Clock on
the morning of Thursday, and found
the patient very much exhausted from
frequent purging and vomiting. An
examination of the excreta showed
that 1t was OF the peculiar rice color

Aslatic cholera.

of experts will be held at Reilley's bed

ence OF opinion amongphysicians as to
whether diagnosis, or even an
autopsy, can disclose positively that
the disease is AsiatiC cholera, but the
probabilities are that, should this
prove to be genuine case, a post
mOrtem will show that fact almost
certainly. The remedies administered
were capsicum tinCture of opium and

Bridgeport, Conn, was considerably
excited on the 10th over reported
death from cholera, which occurred
the previous day, after an illness OF
thirteen hours. The deceased, Miss
Josephine Morcelins, aged 42, during
her sickness had some symptoms of
sporadic cholera. Medical Examiner
Downs, who attended her, gave the
certificate OF death as resulting from
cholera nOstria, which is an aggravated
form of cholera mOrbus.

Il STRANGE TRAGEDY.
An Iowa Man Kills His Sister-in-Law and
Cuts His Owa Throat.


Buckeye township, Hardin County,
Ia, is all agog with excitement in con
sequence of a unique and horrible
tragedy enacted on the night of the
10th, at farmhouse four miles from
Eldora. Miss Grace Rand, a beautiful
girl OF l9 years, was a member of the
family OF George Johnson, a farmer.
whose wife was her sister. The ladies
customarily occupied one bed in the
second story of the house, while John
son and hired man slept together
down stairs. On the night of the trag-
edy the family retired as usual. Miss
Rand fell asleep quickly and Just as
Mrs. johnson had nearly lost con
sclousness she was aroused by some
one approaching the bed. 1t was her
husband. He leaned over the bed,
kissed her ratfectionately, bade hergood
night and left the room. Immediately
her husband had gone, Mrs Johnson's s
attention was attracted by the strange
movements made by her sister. Put
ting her hand on the girls face she was
terror-stricken to feel blood gushing
from her sisters throat A moment
later the girl, writhing in the agony Of
death, rolled from the bed to the floor.
Mrs. Johnson struck light and found
the girl lying dead, her throat cut
rom ear to ear. The hired man came
in answer to her screams, and instant
ly started to alarm the neighbors.
When the neighbors arrived, Johnson,
too. was found dying near the door
With a broad cash in his throat and a
bloody razor lying beside him. The
theory OF the crime is that Johnson,
who had violently opposed her APP
preaching marriage to a young man of
the neighborhood, loved his sister-in-
law, and in a fit of insane jealousy
murdered her and took his own life.

UNDER MS ROBE.
A Church Row-Preaching With an Ar
senal Under His yestments.

senaI under His Sestments.
Rev. Henry d. Jardine, pastor of
st. Mary's Episcopal Church, Kansas
City, Mo-, has been getting himself dis
liked, and the trouble eliminated on
the 18th IN a tirst-class row. Jardine
has been publicly charged with all
sorts OF immortality, and a few weeks
ago sued John c. Shea, one of his de-
tanners, for criminal libel. After a red
hot trial Shea was acquitted. Public
sentiment has been immensely wrought
up against Jardine, and but for the
presence of policemen in large num-
bers IN the church on Sunday he
would have undoubtedly been dragged
from the pulpit and tarred and
feathered. When Jardine appeared at
the altar the congregation became q
bowling mob. Jardine, it is said, had
been addicted to beer drinking and
every window in the sanctuary was
filled with empty beer bottles. When
the communion service was reached
the mob shouted: Good beer, drink
it down, Jardine." The female mem
bers OF the church talked back to the
mob, and perfect pandemonium pre-
vailed. Scenes of the widest confusion
were kept up until the close of the serv-
ices. A serious outbreak was immi-
nent, but was averted by the police.
Jardine, it is charged, had a brace of
revolvers strapped under his priestly
robes. Most of the crowd were also
prepared for trouble. At the evening
service the same riotous conduct was
repeated. Indignation is widespread
and ugly trouble is feared vet.

COiOred Poker.

FROM tHe Enlddelpiid News.
My tale concerns the descendants OF
Ham, probably members OF the
Thompson Street Poker Club. After
a titful argument over the pastebOards,
two OF them determined to have it
out, and so bet heavily, IS that adverb
was construed by them. 4 call was
the inevitable result, as was also the
query:
"Watcha got ?"
"Two par," was the proudly-uttered
response.
1.-Two par heah, said Hannibal.
"Jacks up" uttered Scipio in reply.
"Jacks heah," said Hannibal with a
tantalizing smile.
Trays next" was Scipio's blunt
declaration.
Trays heah," mumbled Hannibal,
as his face opened in grin.
"Ace!" shouted Scipio, as ne thumped
the table conclusively.
"Ace next heah !" and Hannibal was
in danger of falling from his chair III an
ecstasy of delight.

he turned up the whites of his eyes.

Ninety-three Miles an Hour.

From the Chicago Herald,
4 locomotive can easily travel at
the rate of a mile q minute on
straight, level track if not overloaded
and if a good steamer. ] myself have
driven an engine as fast as 81 miles
an hour for five or ten minutes, and
there is q well-authenticated case of
locomotive moving at the rate of 90
miles an hour for a short time, the
fastest record ever made with a loco
motive. That was 8, S4feet a minute,
or 460 revolutions q minute for 81
foot driver That is faster than you
can count and faster than any steam
engine OF that type should run. The
English are ahead OF us on fast loco
motives. They build their engines with
but one driver on a side, and thus
avoid the danger of the parallel rods
connecting gear drivers. Set a loco
motive going as fast as she can hum,
and there is the great danger of accl-
dent-that the parallelrods will break.
Think of those four wheels on two
axles, all geared tight and moving at
that pace. A slight Jump, spring or
tilt to one side is likely to alter the
adjustment, bring on an unequal
strain and snap one OF the rods as II
! they were plpe-stems.

LOST ~ THE FIIHES.
Six Little Children Perish in a Fire Nel
Grahampton, Pa.


On the night of the 10th the resi-
dence of Josiah NJ. Evans, a small
two-story log hut, three miles from
Grahampton, Clearfeld County, Pa,
was destroyed by fire, and six of his
children, ranging in age from 6 to Is
years, were cremated. Evans was
awakened by strange noises, and un-
der the impression that burglars were
about, took his gun and went outside
to investigate. To his horror he dis
covered his humble dwelling in flames.
He quickly gave the alarm, but before
he could reach his six children, who
were sleeping on the second floor, the
roof fell in, and in a few minutes the
building was all ablaze. His wife and
three younger children, sleeping on the
lower floor, were taken out safely, but
the parents were forced to see the 9TH
ers perish in the flames.

POTSONOTS BEEF.
Investigation Into the Fatal Affair at
Momence, III.

Drutley, of the Illinois State Board
OF Health, completed an investigation
at Momence of the dried beef poison
ing case, on the 14th. He says: "The
poisoning was simply caused by the
beef. After a careful examination it
seems impossible that the persons
putting up that meat did not know it
was poisonous. The exact nature of
the poison, because of the inferior
microscopic facilities here, | am yet
unable to determine. The investiga-
tIon Is necessarily incomplete, because
no post mortem was held. Were the
powers of the state board of health
enlarged, the guilty in such cases could
be more quickly found and punished -
DR.. Ellis, OF Kankakee, says marked
characteristic of the beef was its I'M
pleasant odor. He thinks the beef
was taken from an animal diseased or
partially decomposed before submit
ted to the process of canning No
more deaths have occurred, but sew
eral persons are in a critical condition.

Contractors and County Officials ut Ei

There is trouble among thepeople at
FL Paso, Tex, caused by the discov-
cry of frauds in connection with the
erection of the new county courthouse
at that place. 1t appears that the en-
tire matter was left in the hands OF
two men, named Britton and Long.
These gentlemen awarded the contract
for the building to the lowest bidder,
and then changed the plans so as to
make a saving OF $4,000 for the con-
tractor, OF which sum they received a
share. Both committee and contract
or have been placed in jail, work on
the new building has stopped, and
there is much excitement.

4 Market For Stale Bread.

From the New York Sun.l
"Nothing is now wasted, said the
Brooklyn grocer. 81 used to return
my stale bread to the baker, who held
II for a day or two, selling it to poor
persons in the meantime at reduced
price II he could, but if no call was
made he had to throw it away. In
Paris it is dried, and then ground up,
sugar and shortening being afterward
mixed with it, and then baked up into
a cake. But such cake could not be
sold here. Now the bakers have no
difficulty. The Italians buy up nearly
all the old bread, for which they pay
5 a barrel. There may be seventy
five pounds in each. 1t doesn't seem
to make any difference to them how
old it is, providing it is not moldy,
and their taking it in this way has
been "A great relief to the bakers"

tates Her With Fatal Result.

tates Her With Fatal Result.
Augustus Erwin, a dry-goods sales
man shot his wife Adele on the 18th,
in East Tenth Street, New York, and
put bullet into his own abdomen.
He will probably die, while the wife is
believed TO be in fair way of recov-
cry. Erwin is a Hebrew, twice the age
of his wife, who is a Roman Catholic
and married him without her father
knowledge. The marriage was the di.
rect outcome OF the Victoria Morosini
elopement. The girl Adele, whose
father, Patrick O 'Hoyne, is wealthy
laundryman, was a classmate of Vic.
tOria and the sensation caused by her
escapade, apparently suggested a SINH
lar exploit to Adele's romantic mind.
Her own marriage occurred immedi-
ately after, and was unexpected by
everybody. The brides father has
supported them since. Erwin spent
what money he made on betting on
horse races. Lately Mr.. O'Hoyne has
made a persistent effort to wean his
daughter away from him, and all but
succeeded in carrying her off to Europe.
The husband upset his plans in the
eleventh hour by a trick, and the
steamer sailed without his wife, but
with her father on board. Immedi-
ately after Mrs. Erwin left him and
went to reside with her step-mother.
She called at the hotel at his request
for an interview, and it was then that
he tried to kill her and himself.

Missouri Tarantulas.


Tarantulas, those large, ungainly
looking spiders that have long ham on
their back and a bite that is said to be
deadly, are not very numerous in this
country, but there seems to be a colo
ny OF them at or near the Ontario
Company's pumphOuse. bless than
eighteen of them have been killed there
In the past two months.
Mr.. Reed, one of the engineers, took
his coat down from a nail on the wall
the other day where it hung during his
twelve-hour watch. He put the coat
on and Immediately felt something
strange on his neck. Putting up his
hand to see what it was, he took hold
of what proved to be a big tarantula
and the way he scratched and danced
to get away from the fright-provOking
insect could only be equaled by the
antics of Il boy with humble bee up

Porter, one OF the company who was
present had occasion tOreach his hand
into a dark corner behind the water
barrel and the next instant the hand
was withdrawn with a jerk which was
that the owner OF the hand was con-
siderably startled. "Don't be fright
ened, . said Mr. Burchill, the engineer
who had relieved Mr.. Reed, that is
only my pet toad" And sure enough,
a large well-fed toad came out from be
hind and looked around, apparently
angry at having been disturbed. Il

Mr. Burchill. II was sitting in my
chair, when suddenly l noticed my

GRANT DREAMS OF HIS BATTLES.


He dreams of his battles the soldier of glory
Who marshaled the Blue in the greatest of
wars;
Again he doth stand in the Wilderness of glory.
And follows III slumber the stripes and the
stars.
With victory laureled. he stands by the river,
United by Fame to his mem ry for aye:
Again falls the flag of Fort Henry forever,
And Buckner surreuders his legion in gray
He leads in his slumbers to Vicksburg's grim
trenches
The heroes who sprung to the breach at his
call,
And, dreaming his hand in the battle smoke
Yrenches
Rebellion's dark flag from the shot-shatte1ed
wall.
Or maybe he rides thro' the carnage OF battle
Beside the Potomac that sings to the sea,
Or listens again TO rebellion ; death rattle,
And forces al last the surrender of Leel
In peace let him dream Of his country's saliva
ton.
Unsued he kept its fair banner Of stars;
The love, and the heart, and the prayrs of the
Nation
Are with the old hero who dreams of his wars
