A Brooklyn girl recovered five thousand
dollars from bagging manufacturer, by
whom she was employed. for the loss Of
the first joint Of the fore-hnger Of her
right kand, which was crushed in a
weaving machine She would hardly
have received more in a breach OF promise
case. Brooklyn fingers appear to be
about as valuable as Brooklyn husbands.
Miss Susan b. Anthony's brother IN
Leavenw0rth. Kansas, has been slapped
over again. He was abusing the SOUTH
ern people. when Judge Green, Demo-
crat. reminded him of some of his own
buId0zmg and villainy when be was
Mayor Of LeavenwOrth. He then insulted
Green. who knocked him out Of his
chair. II looks like Miss Susan might
spare her brother a little Of her good,
strOug-rainded horse sense.
The reports circulated last week that
pleurO-pneumonia was spreading rapidly
amOug the cattle in West Tennessee was
a great exaggeration. There has been
some kind Of disease, probably pleurO-
pneumonia, in one herd near Jackson. but
il is not believed that a single case now
exists. aud the special state Veterinary
Surgeon. with able assistants, has estab-
Iished a strict quarantine and is taking
every precsutiou possible.
The report Is renewed. apparently on
the authority Of Hon. Beverly Tucker, of
Virginia. that Gov. Cleveland actually
snubbed Jno. r. Mclean. when he visited
Albany. Notwithstanding the latter's de
mails. Probably the strongest reason for
believing the report is the fact that It
ought to be true. President Cleveland

The Pennsylvania state Democratic
Committee has been holding a post NOR
TEN examination over the remains Of the
party In that State. Chairman Hensen
was severely criticised and charged with
responsibility for Blaine's $1,000 majority,
and vet he was reelected. lt would
probably be best for the genuine Demo
Gratis Of Pennsylvania to move 70 Ohio
and New York. where their votes would
amount to something. With Democratic
treachery and Republican fraud. they
can never do much where they are.
Since thsEecent asylum fires i'm Brook
lyn and hGnbakee. H., the authorities Of
several cities are looking after the fire
escapes OF their public institutions. In
Pittsburg several hospitals were found
without fire escapes of any kind. The
Importance of city and state authorities
compelling trustees of such institutions
and owners bt hotels to provide fire
escapes can not be too frequently or too
strongly urged. The country i fun Of
death traps. and fatal fires may be looked
for at any time IN almost any section.
Under Gen. Fitz John Porter's orders
the detectives OF New Yerk are playing
havoc with the gamblers and are break
ing up their dens wherever they can be
found. over a dozen large gaming houses
were raided Tuesday night, and the pro-
prietO-s arrested and their tables, cards.

Gotham would De glad to see Gen. Porter
relieved Of his office Of Police Commits
siOner, whether he is restored To the army
or not. 1t is stated that he paid the de-
tectyes who worked up the cases out Of
his own pockets.
One rumOr from Chicago Il to the effect |
that the performance Of the Morosini- |
schelling company was adjourned. |
Wednesday night, because only two adj |
mission tickets were sold, while another /
report says that the very next day Mrs.
Schelling refused an offer OF $500 per |
week for three months tour. 1t seems |
to be doubtful whether clipping with a |
cOachman Is a good and permanent invest |
ment from an advertising point of view. |
Stage struck girls would do well to await |
further developments before following the |
example of Mrs. Notwithstanding.
The talk about John sherman as the
next Republican candidate for Governor /
Of Ohio does not appear to create much of |
a sensation. 1t is asserted that his name |
is only used i'm order to kill of eX-G0y. /
Foster and to secure the denomination of
Foraker, who is anxious to regain the
prestige he lost by his defeat in 1883. The
convention Will meet about June 1, and it
is thought that deal has already been
made that will insure FOTaker's nominal
ton and also Sherman's return to the |
Senate. unless the next Legislature should |
happen to have Democratic majority.
Cincinnati is fast acquiring the reputa-
ton OF being the leading city Of America
so far as gambling is concerned. 1t is
said that faro banks and poker dens line
every street, and that there is scarcely
saloon or cigar shop that has not game
OF some kind attached. The interest in
stock and grain speculation has greatly 1
decreased. and the inference seems to be
that many Of the operators have decided
to devote their attention exclusively TO
cards. The favOrite game with the rich
is poker: faro comes next in favor, while
workingmen are feeced by the keno
sharps.
GOV. Robe, of Maine, appears TO have
gone back on the PrOhibitionists, and has
announced his opposition TO any further
legislation on the liquor question. The
consequence is that the notorious Gen.
Neal Dow and his crowd have denounced |
the Governor and charged that the whole |
Republican party in Maine is run by |
ring which is doing its best to perpetuate |
private grOg shops. The late harmony in |
the happy family in Maine may be ended |
forever. The Republicans will hardly find |
it so easy to deceive the PrOhibitiOnists |
in the next campaign. and the wicked |
