CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 13.-Mayor Bah
cock gave to the press a letter received
by him from Thomas Axworthy, written
prior to the formers hasty departure for
Montreal, where the mayor was unsuc-
cessful in an attempt to gain an inter
view with the defaulting city treasurer.
The letter bears the date of Oct. %,
and In 1t the writer says that his down
fall vas caused by loaning on call, at
the suggestion of prominent Cleveland
parties, large sums of money on which
he received the interest regularly. Great
ly to his surprise, however, when
the principal was demanded it
was not forthcoming and In
vestigation proved that the men whom
he supposed to be worth millions could
not have paid the loans within four
months after they were made. There
was q combination to ruin him, the
| writer says, and it succeeded admirably.
Mr.. Axworthy then gives q list of his
entire belongings, estimated by him to
be worth 1878, 600, and authorizes the
mayor to act as his attorney in the trans
fer of his property to the city to make
good, as far as possible, the loss sus-
tanned. His wife, he says, will give a
quit claim to the same for anominal con-
sideration. The list of his assets includes
stocks, bonds. notes, ETC., many of which,
are pronounced by bankers to be worth
less or of trifiing value. Mayor Bah.
cock will probably make another trip tc
| Montreal in the hope of having a per.
| sonal interview with the defaulter.

credited with. 1t is Mr.. Quay's determi-
nation tina victory, shall be as complete
as possible, and that no party interest
shall be neglected. Close congressional
districts, as we'll as the national ticket,
are to be looked after. A majority of
votes is claimed by the Democrats for
Compton of Maryland, and he will doubt
less receive his certificate of election.
The Republican committee are APP
prised Of thirteen votes that should, it
is said, be thrown out, and this alone
would give Mudd the seat in contest
before the house. The Republicans are
also very confident of being able to show
the defeat of Wise In Virginia.
The indications point to q Republican
majority of from five to seven in the
next house. There is still doubt about
West Virginia and California. The
Democrats may have elected Thompson
in the First district Of California. This
would reduce the majority from seven
to five. The Democrats claim from three
| TO four in West Virginia. Mr. Brecken-
| ridge of Kentucky figures out a Repub-
Ican majority Of n to three. There
seems to be no room for doubt that the
Republicans will organize the house.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. B.-William
Brown, the keeper of u grocery at Gala
mer Village, a suburb of this city, at
tempted suicide in a desperate manner.
He was in the postoflice, which is next
t. his store, and remarked hat he in
tended to blow some OF the glass out OF
the building. This morning about Z
o'clock the people living in the vicinity
were awakened by a loud explosion.
AS they rushed from their houses
they discovered that Browns store
was ON fire. Several men attempted to
enter 1t, when q second explosion oc-
Cured, blowing the front across the
street and badly wrecking the inside of
the store. The men entered The building
and found Brown lying on the floor with
his throat cut. The fire was extin-
guished, when a keg of powder was
found in the rear of the store, q few feet
from where the fire had been burning.
1t seems that Brown placed at least
three kegs of powder In the store, where
they would be exploded by the fire, then
touched a match to some infiammable
material, and afterward cut his throat.
Two kegs of powder exploded, but in
spite of this and the knife wound Brown
will RECOVER.

scarcely any abatement in the number of
cases of typhoid fever in the country
around Dundee and Camden, and there
are several new cases in the southeast.
and several bad cases in this city and
adjacent country. The cold weather we
now have seems to increase rather than
diminish the spread of the malady. The
fatality from typhoid fever in this sec
tion is unprecedented. Yet, notwith.
standing this fact, physicians are sl5w
to admit thai 1t is the real typhoid fever,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-An investiga-
ton, begun by the police of this city,
into tie career of a man travelling under
the name of Marion ID. Newman, has
brought to light some interesting things.
They have already found that he was or
dained as a Methodist minister in Maine
about a dozen years ago, and that subse-
quently he was transferred to New Jer-
sey. 1t has also been ascertafned that,
under the names of De Hughes, Mobiles,
and st. Clair, he has been married to
women in Philadelphia, Jackson, Ten
%nessee, indianapolis and Wisconsin.
The .olice found IN Newman's room a
number of letters from respectable, but
foolish young girls and women of this
city, filled with expressions of the most
passionate admiration for Newman.
They hope to get some of his former
wives to testify against him and have
him convicted of bigamy.
