DURING the past year wild beasts
and snakes have been unusually de-
structive to human life in the central
provinces of India, there having been
an increase of 262 in the number of
persons killed, as compared with the
preceding year OF wild beasts, tigers,
of course, were the most destructive,
their victims numbering 10, against
9S in 1884, while the number of tigers
killed was only 221, against 260. The
deaths from snake-bite last year
amounted to 1.066, against 797 in 1884,
while only 1897 snakes were killed, as
compared with 2.S7S. In an official
note on the subject it is observed that
there has been satisfactory increase"
in the number of wild animals de-
stroyed; but this increase is due to the
larger number of bears, wolves and
hyenas killed.

a man of his ability and experience
should know better than to attempt
deception on a subject which was as
we'll known to every man in the audi
ence as to him. The revival of bust
ness was looked for too long not to be
felt in every part of the country when
it arrived. Senator Sherman should
remember that predictions which did
service before the election of Demo-
cratic President, of disasters and OUT
RACES as the result of such an election,
are calculated to do more injury than
benefit to the Republican party at the
present time.
The people of the country have be-
fore them the record of eighteen
months of Democratic Administration
at Washington. 1t is a record OF the
most unasSailable kind. Every pledge
has been scrupulously kept, every
promise fulfilled. The Government is:
conducted with less expense, leaks are
stopped, honesty and economy en-
forced and the business community en-
Outraged. The efforts of the Admins
tration were directed towards the re-
vival of business confidence. How

depression which hung so long over
the land, paralyzing its industries and
enterprise, has been removed and the
sun of prosperity is shining in an I'M
clouded sky. What folly, then, for
Senator Sherman to insist on the old,
exploded falSehood that q Democratic
Administration is fatal to business
There was q time when, ike Virgins.
he might have found persons foolish
enough to believe in his wild predic-
tons. That time has passed and the
American people can never be fooled
again by Republican lies. Senator
Sherman'S inventive powers n political
harangues are Door. indeed. when he
has to resort to such ridiculous state
ments as that Democratic Government
is injurious to business.-Al5any argus.

SAD ACCIDENT.

The Wife of Minister Pendleton Killed ip
Central Park, New YOrk-OIlss Pendleton
Seriously Injured.
New YORK, May 21.-Mrs. Alice Pendle-
ton, wife Of the United States Minister 10
Berlin, the Hon. George II. Pendleton, was
thrown from her carriage in Central Park
yesterday afternoon, and almost instantly
killed. Mrs. PendletOn was sixty-one years
old, and came from Berlin less than two
months ago with her daughter, Miss Jane
Frances Pendleton, to attend the funeral OF
her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Frank PerdletOny
who lived at 1OS East Twenty-tfth street.
Since the funeral of young Mrs. Pendleton
the old lady and Miss Jane had remained
with Mrs. Pendletons son, who is we'll
known lawyer of this city. 1t had been
their practice since coming to New York to
take livery on pleasant days and go for
drive. Following this custom, they engaged
a victoria and driver yesterday afternoon.
AS they were proceeding through the Central
park the horses became unmanagea6le and
ran away, dragging their driver from his
seat The park police affirm that when
the horses bolted the two ladies leaped from
the carriage, one from each side, the elder
lady striking on her head and causing COM
pound fracture of the skull and conclusion
of the brain. The park officers who first
reached her found her dead. The daugh.
ter, little distance away, lay unconscious
upon the ground. She was taken up and
carried to the Presbyterian hospital. The
body of Mrs. Pendleton was borne to the
arsenal station in the park and thence after
an inquest to the home OF her son. The
verdict of the cOroner's jury was in accord
ance with the facts stated and exOnerated
the driver, who had been arrested. The
young lady's condition at twelve o'clock
last night was still that of uncOnsciOusness,
with doubts as to her recovery.
