NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-At u o'clock this
morning, orders went into effect along the
lines of the New York Central and of the
New y York, West Shore Il Buffalo railroads
directing rise at once of a cent per mile
schedule on passenger rates. The advance
applies to all traffic between terminal
and intermediate points, and be-
tween local stations. The
rate TO Buffalo will be raised slightly. but
not much, as there is still competition to
that point via the Erie and the Lackawanna
roads. The greatest care was taken in
Issuing the new schedule in order TO
prevent scalpers from laying i'm a
stock of the lOw-Iate tickets over
the West Shore. 1t is understood that
the order of the New York Central issued
last week limiting tickets at the l cent per
mile rate was made with the view of con.
Neying the expression that restoration of
rates would be gradual and thus disarm
ticket spectators. In order that new
orders might be carefully guarded
they were not distributed i'm ordinary
way; but trusted messengers starting from
the headquarters of each division began at
o'clock last evening to serve the order
personally on each station agent. and these
last were told that if they divulged the
nature of instructions before midnight
immediate dismissal would be the penaltv.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The govern
ment Interpreters are at their wits ends
over a thirteen-page letter which recently
arrived in the presidents mail at the White
House. The envelope bears the name of
the president written in fair hand. and
the Endorsement: ''If not delivered in ten
days please return to A. Struat, Vosevilie,
Wis" The letter is written i'll a different
hand, English script, but the language is
not known to any one of the Interpreters.
Thirteen pages of fOolscap are closely writ
ten with this mysterious language, and no
one seems able TO discover the subject of
the letter. The people at the White House
sent 1t over to the department of state, but
they sent it back with the explanation that
no one there could make it out 1t will be
sent down to the poStOffice department next
week to let the people in the dead letter
office take turn at it. Some of those
who have seen it think it may be written
IN Bohemian, but none of the interpreters
seem to have any knowledge of that Ian
guage.

DIR. Cody,s Diyorce Case.

JUNEAU, Wis, Aug 16.-Papers have
been filed in a suit for divorce by DR.. James
f. Cody of Watertown, against his wife,
Theresa Cody. The complaint charges too
much affection for Clarence Brown. The
couple were married in 1850, and have one
child years old. The suit is likely To Gre
ate a sensation througho ut the state, where
DR.. Cody is well known. About six weeks
ago it is alleged DIR. Cody attempted suicide
by taking ten grains of morphine. Only
the most active eXertiOn on the part of his
brother physicians saved his life. 1t was
then alleged that DR.. Cody'S action was
the result of discovery made
by him short time previous TO
his attempt on his life. the
nature of which is revealed in the COM
plant for divorce. Careful attention and
good nursing restored the doctor sufficiently
to enable him week or two ago to start
for Hot Springs, Ark, whittier he was
accompanied by young Brown, who is men,
toned in the complaint. He is a son of
Peter Brown, a banker and well-known
citizen of Watertown. Brown was ell
gagged in business in Watertown at the
time of the above incident. but shortly
afterward sold out and went West He re-
turned week ago and was quietly married

PALATKA, Fla, Aug. 16.-Lydia Brown
and Laura LOvelace, two bright mulatto
women of Silver Spring, have for some time
past loved Justin Marks, a negro barber
To-day the trio met at picnic and quar-
rel between the women resulted in prize
fight. Friends Of the rivals formed a circle
in the woods, and the women stripped to
the waist, stepped into the ring and fought
seven rounds with bare knuckles. Each
was terribly bruised and some blood had
been drawn, when a dispute arose between
two male friends of the belligerents. This
stopped the fight of the females and the
men took their places in the ring to settle
their differences with raZorS. One was al
most disemboweled and will die. The
other was covered with knife wounds. but
is not in danger of death. A duel with
raZ0rs between the women has now been
arranged.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 16.-"YeS," said
a prominent member of the national DEM
ocratic committee, who happened to be
here shortly after the nomination of Gen.
FitZhUgh Lee, 1.-THE campaign should open
at once with a dash. What is needed is a
canvass like some of those i'm South Caro-
lima. Gen. Lee starts out in the canvass
tomorrow, but it is not at all probable that
the red shirt and wonted system will be
adopted. The campaign will be interesting
enough without any such adjuncts. Gen. Lee
will make the first speech in the southwest
ern part of the state. That section will
be the real battle ground of this contest.
Approaching this fact both parties will mass
all of their best speakers there and do their
best to strengthen themselves among the
mountaineerS. Gen. Lee is not an able de-
batter. but he is fearless and does not hesitate
to call things by their proper names. He
IS exceedingly popular with the people and
Will make a fine impression. He is not as
effective on the stump as John 5. Wise, his
Republican opponent, but will no doubt
make more discreet and safer canvass. 1t
Is believed that Malone and Mr.. Wise will
make an effort TO get Mr.. Blaine
Senators Logan and Sherman and other
prominent Northern Republicans to come
down here to assist them in this campaign.
If they are invited to do so it will be for
effect. The speeches they would be apt TO
make in Virginia would not aid in Wise's
election, Mr.. Blaine's letter to that gentle
man, congratulating him upon his nominal
ton, contains some illusions which Mr..
Wise is not certain will not be used against
him in this campaign. If Malone invites
these gentlemen to come they will probably
be sent where there are few or no cOlored
voters, and they would no doubt be eau
toned to address themselves TO business is
sues rather than sectional questions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The civil-seryice
controversy at the custom house is taking
wide range. Jasper 7. Kane of the col
lector's Office added TO the existing compli-

Washington his resignation as a member of
the board of local examiners. As clerk i'm
the liquidation room of the first division of

$1,000 year salary. and is subject 10 the
collectors orders. As examiner he received
no compensation. and was legally indie
pendent OF the collector, so far as the duties

His retirement as examiner leaves only

Did She Murder the Child.

Special to the Globe.
ERIE, Pa. Aug. 16.-A narrowing death
bed scene occurred last night, which will
probably result i'll a charge of murder or
manslaughter against Mrs. II. S. Schell.
who some weeks ago, it is said, struck Ed
die Cook, fOurteen-year-old boy. on the
back with a broOmstick for tresSpassing on
her premises. A hideous cancer-like growth
appeared on the spot, and soon involved the
entire trunk, death being declared inevi-
table. The district attorney took the lads
ante-mortem statement, first directing the
physician to tell Eddie that i'll a few hours
he would be dead The announcement
caused the little fellow to tremble for
moment, and tears glistened in
his eyes. The mother, who had
cherished hopes until now, threw herself
across the bed and passiOnately forbade the
Almighty to take her child. In the hope
of comforting her, Eddie said: 1T wont be
very hard to die, mother. Pray for God to
make it easy" The officers led the poor
woman out, and the child, raising his
wasted hand, was sworn by the magistrate.
The oath was taken Opportunely. for
shortly a heavenly calm succeeded, and
death came easily. Mrs. Schell has been
placed under arrest, pending investigation.
1t Is by no means certain that her alleged
blow originated the fatal growth.

SMALLPOX Epidemic.


MONTREAL, Aug. 16.-This city is suf-

The number of cases is estimated at l, 600.
and the disease is spreading rapidly. Ii
was imported here nearly five months ago
from Chicago by two conductors, who were
treated in religious hospital. AS soon as
the disease became pronounced the hospital
was shut up and the patients removed.
The malady spread slowly at first. The
number of deaths recorded is 12O. This
month there were as many as forty-fve.
The great obstacle to its stoppage is the op-
position of large majority of French Can
adian doctors to vaccination. They do not
even vaccinate their own children. The
health authorities are doing all in their
power TO arrest the epidemic. The clergy
are beginning to speak from their pulpitS to
their flocks in favor of vaccination. The
civic hospital is over full and new exten-
SionS are in progress
