Montreal Special to the New York World, Nov g.
There is rumor Of the contemplated removal
OF many places of business to Toronto or other
Canadian cities. The loss TO the trade of Mon

are already evidence OF curtailed employment
and suffering among the poor. The health
authorities contine in their easy going course.
No later than yesterday they dismissed INV
sanitary policemen on the ground of expense
This morning the ambulance corps, under DIR.
Hill, and accompanied by a large staff of SAM.
tary police, proceeded TO No. 529 Albert street
from which two cases were removed, one being
q mother and the other a babe. Quite a crowd
of roughs collected and set up a howl on the de-
parture of the van. No missiles were thrown
however. At No. 1918 st. James street a row
nearly took place. The tenant refused 10 allow
his children to be taken 10 the hospital A
crowd of about 400 person assembled around the
building and by their actions and mutteriDes
clearly showed they were ready for mischief
Some Of the rowdies got around to the back OF
the house and the handful of sanitary police
were almost powerless I'm keeping the crowd
back. IL the police had attempted forcible re-
moval OF the children the results would have
been disastrous, but as It was the crowd con-
tented themselves with throwing mud and
stones.

MATRIMONIAL MISERY.
A Young Wife Marries WidOwer and

Gesine Gettleson has filed bill for separate
maintenance in the circuit court, in Chicago,
making charges against her husband, John
Gettleson, of No.29 Lincoln avenue. The latter,
who is over fifty years of age, is said to be worth
$4,000, with an annual income Of SO, 600. The
bill states that Gesine was induced to marry
the defendant October 10, 1882, on the distinct
understanding that his eldest son, Frank, was
not to live in the house, and that the other chill
dren were to be satisfied with their new step
mother. Mr.. Gettleson was then widower
with four children-Frank, aged twenty-six
years, salesman, and three daughters, Carrie
Annie and Jennie, aged respectively nineteen,

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
RICHMOND, Nov. Ain the election returns
~ mana Inc remarkable result Is shown that
not In one acknowledgement close county or
one legislative district have the democratic
management failed to score q victory. Even
In the county of Prince Edward, where the &C
knowedged republican majority is eight or nine
nunoreo, ex-Congressman Hooper, an anti-Mar
none candidate, so evenly divided the
republican vote with his competitor that q
democrat has slipped into the legislature for
the nrst time in twenty years. Rockingham,
however, Is quite close and an official count
may be needed there to determine the result.
II y also shown from the returns that Lees
large majority is chiefly due to the falling
away OF the colored republican vote. Leading
democrats assert that the administration OF
Cleveland receives from this state q new and
powerful endorsement in the results of yester-
DAY. The republican convention, when it NOM

shortcomings of the administration in the mat

along with the assaults Of Sherman and For

too, that Secretary Manning, while giving no
direct Official aid, was in frequent conference
with Chairman Barbour as to the general
policy of the campaign. His suggestions, it is
also known, were valuable to the democratic

A Young WOmaan's Dilemma.
SHE TAKES POISON WHEN ABOUT TO BE Al
RESTED AS AN IMPoSToR.

A telegram from Pittsburg, Pa, November
Sd, says: A young and well dressed woman
attempted suicide at the Monongahela house
about nine o'clock this evening by taking laud-
anum. She came to the hotel several days ago
and represented that she was q daughter of
Judge Curtis, of New York, and that she was
in search of her sister, fifteen years of age, who
ran away from home three weeks ago, and had
been traced to Pittsburg. She also said she
had q brother living in Harrisburg who would
be in the city In q few days.
The hotel people were satisfied with her story
but as she positively refused to send for detec-
tive to assist her in her search they finally not-
fled the police, and, after an Investigation, the
police decided she was an impostor. Tonight
Detective O'Mara went to the hotel to arrest
her, and, divining his object, she made pre-
tence that she wanted a drink of weter. Step
ping into another room she swallowed half an
ounce of laudanum.
The detective, suspecting her intention, fol-
lowed into the room, but was too late to pre-
vent her taking the poison. Medical aid was
quickly summoned. and with prompt measures
she was soon out Of danger. 1t is not yet ascer-
tanned what her right name is or where she
came from.
