Sir Nicholas Bacon being once in the
capacity OF judge, about TO pass the sentence
Of death upon a culprit, the fellow impor-
tuned him to save his life, alleging, among
other things, that he had the honor of being
arelation of his lordship How do YOU prove
that" said Sir Nicholas. My lord, replied
the man, your name is Bacon and mine is
Hog, and Hog and Bacon have in all ages
been reckoned akin" THAT is true" answer
ed the judge, but hog is never bacon till it
is hung, and therefore, until you are hung,
YOU can be no relative Of mine.

a Doubtful Story.

WAsHNGToN, November w. 4.
Crohut tells in the Post a story which he
SAYS was told him at dinner by a member
of the Hilton family about A. T. Stew
arts body. 1t is that two years after the
stealing of the body Mrs. \. T. Stewart
paid 5000 for its return. The bones
were delivered to Mrs Stewards repre-
sentative at a secluded spot in Westches-
ter county, and the money paid over to
masked men. The representative had to
90 alone, and the whole affair was en-
yeloped in mystery, and every precaution
was taken to prevent the betrayal Of the
thieves. The remains were then taken
to Garden City on special train at night.

The Beef Boilers.

CHICAGO, November 1.-The threat
ened strike among the beef men at the
stock-yards was commenced this morn
ing, and nearly 5000 men are now out
from the slaughter-hOuses of c. f. Swift
& Co. and Nelson Morris The trouble
is over the adoption of the ten-hOur sys-
TEN, the men refusing to work two extra
hours without additional pay. In these
two houses there are no hogs killed, and
the employees say they cannot accept
the ten-hour system. Each of the firms
employ about 5000 men, and at present
many of these are cOngregated about the
streets and on corners near the big houses,
but there is as yet no indication of any
trouble. There is a great deal of excite
ment, but the men are orderly, and insist
that no act of theirs will precipitate any
trouble There is no indication that the
police will be called upon to protect the
two houses; but it is yea too early to de-
termine the intention of the two firms.
At o'clock everything is quiet.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
BAD FOR BULGARIA.

TRNovA, November NEARLY all Of
the $50 Deputies were present in the
Sobranje, including thirty adherents of
Zankoff, and the Turkish Deputies in ma
tiOnal costume The calling of the names
of the Deputies murdered at Dabnitza
were received with solemn expressions of
regret. Zankofiites appeared for the pur-
pose of protesting against the illegality
of the Assembly. The Sobranje opens
with a despondent feeling. In view of
Europe's apathy to the Bulgarian interests
it is believed to be useless to struggle
against Russia's ascendancy, and Bull
garia is willing to accept almost any terms
of compromise.

A BeaStly Murder.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, November l.
Last night the dead body of Catharine
Taswell, wife of John Taswell, a colored
coachman, was found in a spring house
on the farm of Howell Evans on the
county line between Haverford College
and Bryn Mawn, about ten miles west of
this city.
There was unmistakable evidence that
the woman had been outraged and then
murdered in the bushes near the spring
house, and the body afterwards placed
where it was found. A young colored
man who works in the neighbOrhood is
suspected of the crime.

Your Money or Your Life.

ROME, n Y, November 1.-The SEN
sation of the hour in this neighborhood
is the alleged attempt at highway robbery
by two lively young women. Hugh Dor
rety and Luther Jones aver that on a dark
night a month ago, as they were driving
along a lonely road between here and
Bonneville, they were halted by two per-
sons who presented reyolvers and de
manded their money and valuables. They
protested that they had nothing with
them, and Dorrety lighted a match, by the
aid Of which he recognized Mrs. Susan
Scoyille, a young widow, and Miss Dunn,
dashing girl Of twenty. They were
partly dressed in mems clothing. The
travellers were allowed to pass only on
promise to keep silent about the affair.
The women have just been arrested on
complaint Of Dorrety.

NEW YORK ST0CK MARKET.
REVIEW

New YORK, November l.-Such people
who have argued that whenever foreign
support was withdrawn from this market
it would recede from It's own weight, must
be sorely disappointed at the course of to-
days prices They have ruled very strong
throughout and the buying has been ex-
ceptionally good, though business has not
been on large scale and just before holiday
it could hardly have been expected 10 be so.
To us the prospects of higher prices seems to
be better assured than for some time past.
The buying has not been Of an excited
nature, but has been very substantial and
there are many evidences of fresh inclina-
ton on the part of the public TO come into
the market after the distracting influences
which have existed during the past few
weeks are removed, which may be expected
almost Immediately. In short, we are de-
cidedly bullish on the situation, and barring
any unforeseen circumstances, do not see
what can deter further advance. Market
closed strong. Money, 6.

meeting was one of the most successful of
the campaign.
Men Of Manchester, TO whom the Demo
cratic party have often appealed, and never
in vain, to-day do your whole duty. Never
let it be said that you weakened or were
false TO your traditions. Never iE a
National or State contest has your name
been sullied by Republican victory
Now, when so much depends upon it, we
know you will rise up in your might and
roll up a big majority for George d..
Wise.
WARD MEETINGS.
In every ward and in far-off Fulton the
Democratic clubs met and the spirit OF
Democracy was rife from HaryietOwn to
Bloody Run, and from Sheep Hill all
through the valley to Port Mayo. Much
work was cut out and every man was eX-
horted to be at his post to-day. \ full
vote must be polled. One long pull, one
strong pull, and a pull altogether, and
victory is secured.
THE DYING GAsPs.
The dying swan sings its sweetest notes
but last night dying Republicanism made,
if possible, more discordant sounds than
is its wont.
In addition to the many pest-hOuse
gatherings all over the city there were
two mass-meetings At the Broad-street
Skating Rink John 5. Wise held forth,
while at Mash Quarter Seventeenth
street near Broad, Waddill, Southwark,
and a lot of negro orators harangued
the colored troops.
At these meetings about the onl Y white
men present were the speakers. While
it is possible some intelligent cOlOred
men will vote for Wise, Waddill has so
strongly drawn the color line that the
bulk Of that vote will go for him. There
was nothing new in the speeches. All
ab0unded in the most violent abuse OF Mr..
Mullen and his leading friends. Allmanner
of reckless charges were made, and for a
time at least the discussion of George
Wise, President Cleveland, the tariff and
the Blair bill were stopped, and Mullen
made the only issue.
There was no enthusiasm. Whenever
the band played the boys and women
set up a veil, and it was at times with
great difficulty that the speakers could
be heard. Mash Quartz" " was fitting
spot in which Republicanism in this dis
trict should chant its death song. To-
day it is hoped the last vestige Will be
mashed out Of it, and Waddill, Wise, and
Southwark made tc waddle westward or
to some other more congenial cline.
The night fell and morning dawned in
united Democracy, cheered by the hope
of almost certain victory. Let not that
victory be lost by the apathy or indiffer-
ence of a single man.
To the polls and vote early and send

speaking is concerned, is closed
Yesterday was an exciting day, and it
wound up the warmest Congressional
canvass Richmond has known in many
years
The withdrawal of Mr.. w. II. Mullen
the Labor candidate, was bomb-shell to
the Republicans, and all day they did
everything in their power to counteract
All manner of stories were afloat, and all
kinds of slanderous circulars circulated.
Late in the evening bands of music
paraded. calling attention to the last mass
meeting of the campaign. Every Demo
cratic club in the city held meetings for
work and at most Of them Hon George
d. Wise was present for time. Ameet-
ing advertised for Mr. Mullen at Seven
teenth and Venable streets was not held
in order not to conflict with the mass
meeting of the Tammany Reform Club at

TAMMANY RATIFIEs.

One of the largest and most enthu-
siastic gatherings of the canvass was
that held by the Tammany Reform Club
at Old Market Hall. Mr.. Lewis \.
Booker presided and introduced the
speakers The Manchester amateur band
furnished music The large hall was
packed with workingmen, all of whom
came out to ratify the withdrawal Of
William H. Mullen to emphasize their
INDIGNATION at his treacherous treatment
at the hands of the Republican leaders,
and to express their determination of
supporting Hon. George d. Wise and
the Democratic ticket
Earnest speeches were made by CCun-
cilmen John II. Connor and John 5.
Bethel. Justice John ". Ryau, and Nr.
William II. Woody. All of the speakers
endorsed Mr. Wise, and eXhorted their
friends to rally and TO save the district
from the Waddill-Nise-Negro Coalition.
Every speaker was cheered to the echo
and the Tamnay Club will to-day poll its
fun strength for Wise.
Let il be hoped that now, that they are
in their fathers house, that they have
come to stay, and will fight inside the
ranks for their rights. If they do they ywill
have the support and sympathy OF every
true Democrat Let the workingmen of
Richmond prove to-day, as they have
ever proved that they are the keystone
of the arch, and with them we bid Re
publicanism, no matter by whom led,
defiance.
