Discharged Employees.

After several months of inaction, the Adams
Express Company has discharged John O'Hara,
James Canada and John Polk, three employees,
presumably because they have been suspected of
completely in the recent disappearance of the
$4,000 money package. It will be remembered
that O'Hara was dismissed at the time the pack
age disappeared, but was soon restored to his
position. On condition that he was to be given
permanent employment, OHara signed an agree
ment not to prosecute the company for damages
growing out of the discharge. The officers of
the company state that for several months they
have had detective at work upon the case, who
has learned a great deal concerning the theft
but no developments have been made public
At the time the money was lost, Canada was
the bill clerk, Polk was porter, and O'Hara was
the driver of the wagon.

A wronged Wife ON Her Muscle.

Harry Hamilton, living on Virginia avenue.
while in drunken rage, Tuesday night, brutally
assaulted his wife; and the woman, who has
suffered from his barbarous treatment for a
long time, took occasion to resent her husbands
treatment, turning upon him with poker and
knife. During the encounter Hamilton was
severely cut across the chin and neck. The
police authorities arrested both parties, but yes
terday the mayor released the wife and, very
justly. fined Hamilton 500 and costs, with
twenty days in Jail. The defendant offered no
excuse for his beastly treatment, and the court
was inclined to tender vote of thanks to the
woman for her heroic resistance.

was assistant foreman on the Ohio Statesman,
at Columbus, when he was one of the editors.
He was determined to go to Congress, and
started out to make himself popular with the
Germans. he could see German vote at a
greater distance than any man who ever lived,
and would rush across the street in mud waist
deep to shake hands with German. He drank
beer to make himself solid with them. though
he never liked it, and it didn't agree with him
But ne succeeded in capturing the German
vote. Cox was the most indefatigable worker
for his friends you ever saw, after he got into
Congress. I remember that the father of the
chairman Of the Republican committee, who op-
posed Cox in his first campaign, had been an ap-
plicant for pension for disabilities received in the
war Of 1872. Several congressman had tried
their best to get the claim through but were I'M
successful. The very first thing that Cox did
after his election was to 60 to the chairman, who
had opposed him so bitterly, get his fathers
papers, and make dead set for the pension.
which he got in thirty days. That is sample
of the way Cox did things. If he had been six
feet high, instead of midget, he would have
been the nominee of his party for President be-
fore now. But his size was sufficient to prevent
anything of that kind. Think of 100 pound
whiffet in the presidential chair! The Repubi-
cans had to redistrict the State to get Cox out
of Congress, and, determined to continue in
public life he went to New York, where he was
soon nominated and sent to Congress again.
Cox is what might be called a hustler, and is a
born politician

ing: The president, in conversation with

latter that he would esteem it great
favor if senators knowing anything objec-

Much OF the Latter.
MONTREAL, Nov. 19.-The English COM
munity here is at last fairly aroused over
the offensive demonstrations which are of
nightly occurrence. Last night Alderman
Mooney was burned in effigy, and it was
also the intention of the mob to similarly
honor Alderman Stevenson, who is the
commander of the Montreal field battery.
The latter part Of the programme was not
carried into effect, however, as about
two hundred of the gallant coloners
comrades had assembled and were
well prepared to give the mob warm re-
ception. The French swear they will
burn Alderman Stevenson in effigy before
his residence this evening. and if they
carry out their intentions, blood will Ger
tainly flow, as the English have organized
strong defensive association, composed Of
all the athletic associations, the snow shoe
clubs and militia regiments. The feeling
of exasperation on the part of the English
IS increasing, and if the French want to
fight they will probably have their wish
aCceded to.
