A Plague OF Frogs.

Myriads OF frogs invest Eagle Pass Tex, and
vicinity. They made their appearance some
days ago, and have multiplied so rapidly that
the earth is covered with them. They are
moving in southeasterly direction. There
are none on the Mexican side OF the Rio Grande.
This unusual phenomenon in country where
frogs are rarity is regarded by the supersti-
tious Aexicans as the forerunner of some
calamity.

At Corvallis, Ore, E. RosenthaI. prosperous
young Jewish merchant, recently lost his wife.
His father-in-laE and mother-in-law, named
Kline, insisted that he should marry his wife's

frequent quarrels. One night last week Mr.. and
Airs. Kline went to his store, where the quarrel
was renewed, and ended in the old folks cow
hiding Rosenthal. He thereupon wrote note
saying that they had driven him to death, and
blew out his brains with revolver

from, the southern part of Comanche County,
Tex, with the wife Of James Secrist, reputa-

alone to the Secrist place to get the clothing
and personal effects of Mrs. Secrist Mr. Secrist
met Matthews at the house, and when re-
qnested to get the articles desired Secrist en-
tered the house, apparently to comply. He
soon appeared at the door with Winchester

Two ACTORS LIvEs.-The most extrav-
agant among the star actors is undoubtedly
Boucicault. He is sumptuous liver, put
ting up at the swelest hotels and engaging
the most expensive rooms en- suite in such
hotels. One of his pecularities is that he
has, night and day, a table in his parlor set
with fruits, wines, liquors, and cigars. He
has many friends who know of this little
popularity. Boucicaut is also good di-
ner out-in fact good fellow all round.
He is known in the profession as mar
velous man." For though over seventy, he
is as clipper and lusty as most strong men
are when in their prime, and gets keen Gu
joyment out of life. He recently married
again, and since that even the profession
regards him more than ever as marvellous
man. Boucicault was, however, surpassed
in extravaganza by Fechter, who lived like
o genuine Monte Cristo, and was sumptu-
GUS to ruination, for he died in poverty and
neglect, q broken-down, ken.hearted,
miserable man. Fechter not only had q
table set with fruits, wines, liquors and
cigars in his parlor like Boucicault, but he
went so far as to have the contents OF the
board changed every three hours, even if
nothing had been touched. He claimed
that the spread offended his sight after that
length of time. He was an ocular as well
as o gastronomic gourmet, so that while
Boucicault spends $3.50 or $500 a week,
Fechter spent OO.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

PLAYING THE DEAF AND DUMB GAME
In the Circuit Court at Woods6eld, Guern-
sey county, Ohio, David Conger, who was
convicted of murder in the second degree
for the killing of his wife in June last was
sentenced Friday to the penitentiary for
life. The murder was most brutal one, he
killing his young wife with an axe because
she interfered in behalf of their year old
son whom he was beating cruelty. Conger
made no great effort to escape and was ar
rested soon after. From the moment of his
incarceration until the last words that drop
ped from the Judges lips which sealed his
doom the miserable wretch had not spoken
a word or made an audible noise with his
tongue. FeigniDg insanity he played the
deaf and dumb act successfully for more
than four months. ALI efforts of the officers
TO make him speak were without effect,
even severe shock from an electric bat
terry was applied in hope of loosing his
tongue but which only caused him to squirm
with pain Throughout the trial he has
been immovable and when sentenced was
about to pronounced the officers had to lift
him to his feet The last words Of the SO
years sentence had hardly echoed through
the court room, however, when the mysteri-
Gus criminal, who had so long remained ap.
parently dumb, yelled out an avalanche of
oaths at the Court, and turning to the crowd
said: "I have got more sand and backbone
than any of you, and if you can stand it
can too" He was quickly hurried from the
court room and landed in his cell, but con-
tinued to shower curses and abuses in a
screaming voice on all mankind.

November Meteors.

| November holds the exclusive right to
one unfailing source ofinterest. when, on the
18th, and the day before and after, the earth
plunges through the November meteor zone.
Those who watch on the nights mentioned
will find proof of the passage in few stray
meteors, radiating from the constellation
Leo, and set on fire by concussion with
the earth's atmosphere. These meteoric
showers are caused by the earth encounter
ing swarm of particles following Tempel's
comet in its orbit. The swarm of meteor
oids is not yet equally scattered, and the
earth meets the densest portion once in
thirty-three and one fourth years. Agrand
display marks the passage. The heavens
seem to be on fire. and the grandeur of the
scene is indescribable. Chinese, Arabian
and other records give accounts of these
grand meteoric showers. Humboldt wit
messed a wonderful shower in 1899. A
great shower was seen in 1888, another
occurred in 1S66-'67, and one is con-
fdently expected in 1899. Leverrier
thus accounts for the presence of the
~eteor zone in the system. AS far back
~Year 1875 of our era, Uranus captured
me,- '"comet and imprisoned it, by his
attractive power, within the solar domain.
1t has period of thirty three and one.
fourth years. The orbit crosses the earth's
orbit at point passed by our planet on the
18th of November, and extends beyond the
orbit of Uranus. The comet is disintegrat-
ing and the meteoroids are slowly extend.
ing over the whole zone. When this occurs
ages hence the grand displays will cease
and the falling stars each year will increase
A. ;, fo;p
than the behavior of comets and meteors
it is we'll to be on the watch, for the earth
may encounter more populous portion of
the zone, and the shower of falling stars be
more abundant than is expected. The best
time for observing the Leonids, as they are
called, is about o'clock in the morning,
when the constellation Leo is nearly half
way between the eastern horizon and the
zenith.

Brief Review OF the Fluctuations Of
Last Week and Their Causes.

Brief Review Of the Fluctuations Of
Last Week and Their Causes.
New YORK, Jan. 2i.--The past week
has been q tame one on the stock OK
change, and transactions have, as rule,
been on q limited scale.
There has been no animation In the
speculation, except for few stocks, and
the market generally has been irregular,
with a slight tendency toward lower
prices Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern has been the most active, and this
stock, with the other coalers, has been
weak, touching tho lowest point recorded
during the recent decline.
An unfavorable feature was tho dis
agreement of the trunk limo pool Jau. i6,
and their failure to mako satisfactory
arrangement about oast-bound freights;
also tho action of the Pennsylvania in
making lower rates on immigrant bust
ness to tho west. This did not affect tho
trunk line stocks, however, very seriously,
rs they wero already so low, and both
these and ttho Rrangcrs showed much
resistance to the decline.
The cotton market has been worry dull
during the past week, and the huctua-
lions in prices quite unimportant.
