The vote in Mississippi yesterday was I'M

vote. The light vote is to be accounted for from
the fact that there was no ticket in the field
except the regular democratic state ticket. In

may be elected to the legislature and to county

guments-The Decision Reserved.
The arguments were made in the Taber case
in Boston yesterday, and they were very saw
age. Counsel TOR Mrs. Taber took the ground
that she was an innocent, virtuOus woman, who
had been prosecuted by her husband, and had
gone to her pastor solely for advice and cOnsola-
ton. He denied Taber's statements that his
relations with his wife mad been pleasant before
Parson Downs came upon the scene, and in
support of the denial read some remarkable
letters from the husband to his wife, written
while the latter was away in the summer OF
1882.
Counsel for Taber claimed that these letters
We're written in fun though he acknowledged
that 1T was coarse fun. He was very severe on
Downs Among other things he said, speaking
of the kissing scene: 1.-Two years ago Mrs. Taber
felt such an intimacy for Mr. Downs that she
threw herself into his arms. How often had
she thrown herself into her husbands arms?
What would your honor think of a minister
who knew the disposition OF u parishiOner to
throw herself in his arms If he visited that
woman again unless accompanied by his wife?
No honest person would have submitted to such
an embrace and not told the husband Again,
speaking of the exposure in August he said:
Taber had gone into that room that night with
a pistol in his hand. 'If Mr.. Taber had gone
into that room that night with pistol in his
hand and had shot MIR. Downs there would
have been no jury in the country who would
have returned him guilty of manslaughter, and
If Mr.. Downs had shot Mr.. Taber any cOmnu-
nifty south of the Delaware would have called
upon Judge Lynch Judge Allen reserved his
decision.

Alleged Poisoning Case.

YOUNG LADY SECRETLY MARRIED, SAID TO
HAVE BEEN POISONED BY HER HUSBAND.
A most startling sensation was divulged Mon
day ut Spring City, Rhea county, Tenn. Miss
Sallie Newly, a beautiful young lady of that
place, died about two weeks ago very mystic
riously. The facts regarding her death
were suppressed, and not until Monday
did the truth become known. On her
dying bed she told her terrible secret
to her family physician under his promise to
guard her confession sacredly, but on Mon
day he was prevailed upon to disclose the truth
For some months past young man named 10
Hicks is said to have been paying devoted at
tentions to the young lady. He, it is alleged,
persuaded her into q secret marriage under pre-
tense that his mother would oppose the match,
and then he inveigled her into an adjoining
county, and with the assistance of cOnfederates
had mock ceremony performed. About a
month afterward he, according to the story, be-
gan administering medicine and the young
girl gradually wasted away. When 1t was too
late, it is said, she discovered she had been
murdered by slow poison and died i'll convui-
siOns. The man who is said to have accom-
plished her ruin has gone away.

THREATENED STRIKE OF OHIO MINERS-A BIG
TEXAS STRIKE.
President Hon. j. Mcbride presided at spe-
cial convention of the Ohio miners association,
held in Columbus yesterday. The object of the
convention was TO discuss the propriety OF
making an immediate demand for a general
advance in the rate of mining of ten cents per
ton, and also demanding sem-monthly pay
days The miners are unit on these questions,
and have for some time been holding secret
meetings throughout the Hooking valley to
prepare the way for an advance. The speeches
yesterday were well-tempered, but firm in the
opinion that another strike should be inaugur-
ated in case the demands are refused:
A strike of considerable magnitude was be-
gun in Galveston, Texas, yesterday by the
knights of Labor. The trouble arose from the
refusal of the agent of the Mallory line of
steamers to withdraw the colored longshore-
men from the Mallory wharf, where they have
been working for the past two weeks, having
been put on TO replace striking longshoremen.
Failing to carry their point with the Mallory
line the strikers joined the knights of Labor,
the white longshoremen. All the Knights of
Labor employed by the Gulf Colorado and
Santa Fe railroad and by the Missouri Pacific
line in Galveston have gone out under orders
from the state executive committee. The
Knights in the Associated Cotton Presses in
Galveston have also struck and four great cot
ton presses are idle. The handling OF freight
by the railroads is for the time being paraly

WHAT THEY THINK OF FREE TRADE, PROTEC-
TON AND THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATIONS.
A telegram to the New York Sun from Wilkes
barre, November /, says: A curious document
was found in the possession of James Bray, q
tramp who was killed at Plymouth yesterday.
He had a long roll Of paper, and on this paper
were the names of over 400 other tramps with
whom he had come in contact during his trav-
els. Bray made 1t a point to In terview all the
knights OF the road as to their present condi-
ton and what led them to take the road Oppo-
site each mans name was his answer. One
hundred and seventy-seven said that they were
out of work because there was no work to do
Three hundred and seven were in favor of free
trade and against high protective tariff
Thirty-seven said that a high tariff meant pro-
lection for American wOrkingmen and that
their poverty was due to over-indulgence in
strong drink. Over 100 voted Cleveland's adj
ministration q failure, so far as making the
times better, and 215 put the blame on Con-
gress, for not establishing free trade, and
thereby making markets for the productions Of
American labor and machinery. For the next
Presidency, sixteen tramp printers predicted
the election OF John sherman, and 1O4 New
York; tramps believed that Hill would be
elected.
