Justice Into His Own Hands.
 ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 6.-At Webster Groves, suburb of St Louis. three negroes Grant Boyd, Will Stringer and Coon Rhodes-tried to assault Alice and Emma, daughters of Greenville Baker. They threw a cloth over Alice's face and bore her to the ground. Emma, the younger sister, was treated ill like manner, but she struggled with her assailants until she freed herself sufficiently to cry out for help. Her piercing screams brought aid and the negroes fed When carried into the house Emma went into convulsions and her life was despaired of. Alice soon recovered and gavea descrip tion of the negroes.
 Grant Boyd and Coon Rhodes were cap tured. They were taken before Judge Cotfey for preliminary hearing, before an immense crowd. Alice Baker was there, seated by her father, but Emma was unable to appear Alice was called on by the judge to identify her asSaiants. Pointing at Rhodes, she said: There is the man who threw me down."
 She had scarcely ceased speaking when her father sprang to his feet and, drawing revolver. fired point blank at Rhodes, the bullet grazing his head. The father was seized and prevented from doing further harm. The negroes fell on their knees and began to pray piteously for mercy. Two re volvers were found on MT. Baker, and he evidently intended to kill both of the negroes Rhodes and Boyd were w8uhd over and taken to the county jail at Clayton.

IT MAY END PEACEFULLY
Trying to Effect a Compromise
 Between the RawsonS.
CHICAGO's CELEBRATED CASE
It Has Thus Far Led to Two Nearly Sue cessful Attempts at Murder and Endles Effort

Legal Complications-Judge Jamiesonx
 Effort.
 CHICAGO, Nov. Ct is announced that the notorious Rawson divorce case, which has had so many strange and startling phases during the two years it has been 1n the courts, is almost at an end. It is under stood among the lawyers that compromise has been made between the banker and his wife, and Judge Jamieson, before whom some of the issues of this extraordinary suit have been tried, is the reported mediator. The terms of settlement are these MT. Rawson agrees to give his wife S40,000, and her divorce suit on the ground of assertion will be allowed to go by default. All other suits-which are legion-will be dropped. MT. Rawson retracts his charges against his wife's character, and the criminal prosecu; tion against her for shooting Col Whitney will be discontinued.
 The history of the troubles of the Rawsons would fill book. Stephen ". Rawson is one of the wealthiest men in Chicago, and is about 64 years old. Four years ago he mar, ried Miss America L. Lee, remarkably handsome woman, more than twenty years his junior. She had been twice divorced, was once treasury clerk at Washington, and before that something of a watering place belle MT. Rawson lived with his bride in a magnificent marble front resi- dence on the west side, but in few months it was common talk that the couple did not get on we'll together, and in the fall of 1886 MT. Rawson began suit for divorce on the ground of unfaithfulness.
 The only witness he had was sleeping car porter, and this man afterward confessed that he had sworn falsely, and the case was thrown out of court. Since then MT. Raw son has filed amended bills his wife has filed cross bills, there have been rejoinders and ur-rejoinders, afffdavits, dispositions and traverseS, until the accumulation is far be- yond any precedent ill even Chicago divorce case Both parties to the suit have had de- tectives watching each other, and whenever detective saw a chance for an affidavit one was immediately added to the pile.
 Mrs. Rawson had son, Ralph Lee, and he was the cause of good deal of the trouble between the banker and his wife. On Sun- day, Oct. 15 of last year, young Lee crept up behind MT. Rawson as he was leaving church and shot him ill the back. The wound was supposed to be fatal, but Mr. Rawson got well and young Rawson was sent to prison for a year. His mother was indicted for compicity, but the trial was postponed sev- eral times and finally the case was dropped. June 1 Mrs. Rawsons lawyers went before Judge Jamieson to urge speedy hearing of the suit. Col. A. R. Whitney was arguing against them when Mrs. Rawson dashed into the room and shot him twice. His wounds were also supposed to be mortal, but he is alive, though were feeble. Mrs. Rawson was indicted, but has not yet been tried. Last week she filed new bill of divorce for deser-

He said that when the alarming reports were circulated to the effect that thirteen whalers had been locked in the ice in September he gave them no credence whatever, and that the statement with respect to expeditions being fitted out at the Fox Islands and at San Francisco for their relief were purely imaginative.

GOSSIP OF ALL EUROPE.
England's Cabinet Discussing
 the Sackville Affair.
WHAT WILL THEY DO ABOUT IT?

Rumor Says the Post May Be Left to a
 Charge dAfTaires for a Year-Bad Re
 suits Anticipated from MT. Gladstone's
 Allusion to It-Salisbury Disguised.
 LONDON, Nov. 6-It is undeniably fact that the cabinet devoted the most of the time consumed by its meeting to discussion of the Sackville incident, despite the per sistent denials of the attaches of the foreign office that the affair was even mentioned. Previous to the meeting, it is learned, Lord Salisbury conferred with prominent officials and experts in the various departments with view of obtaining data of the most i'm portant precedents touching the case of the dismissed minister, and he also received dis patches Ly special messenger from the minister in attendance upon the queen at Balmoral with reference to the matter, Later in the afternoon there were persistent rumors in the neighborhood of the foreign office that the cabinet had decided to leave the Washington legation in the hands of charge d affaires for at least year, but none of the reports could be traced to any reliable authority, It is more than likely, however, that q new minister will be ap- pointed shortly after the reassembling of parliament
 MT. Gladstone's references to the Sackville affair, in his speech at Birmingham yester- day, were wholly unexpected, and although they were noticeably colorless his friends would have preferred that he should not have made them. His remarks will possibly be misrepresented or misinterpreted in America and will certainly enable the Tories to complain that the ex-premier has en- deavored to embarrass the government in foreign negotiations of the most delicate nature.
 Mir. Buckle, the editor of The Times, had a protracted interview with Lord Salisbury, presumably with reference to the proceed lngs before the Parnel commission, and it is whispered that the premier expressed his dis gust at the weakness of The Times case as presented by the attorney general and as re- vealed by the subsequent testimony.
