Trouble in Guatemala.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-A dispatch
from New Orleans the steamer Prof.
Morse, Capt. Hardie, from Central
American ports, reports that the late
decree of the Guatemala government,
abolishing free zone at Livingston and
Sante Tomas, has created much con.
sternation in that vicinity, and large
delegation of the principal merchants
and foreign consuls left for the capital
July Goth, to endeavor to have the de-
cree annulled. The free port was Or
iginally decided to be for ten years,
but barely six have passed, and those
foreigners who were induced there
to invest large capital in merchandise
and planting will lose heavily if the
free zone is abolished so suddenly.

able affair. About thirty couples
were present, the ladies being attired
in very piquant calico dresses and the
gentlemen, for the most part, wearing
dress coats made of the same material.
This had very pretty. effect until
later on in the evening when perspi-
ration got in its work, the patterns on
the dresses and coats began to run and
ner, but this only added to the fun of
the evening, and it is safe to venture
the assertion that there never was a
merrier party than those who as
sembled there. This is not remark
able, for the members of the club
know how to enjoy themselves ra-
tionally and well.

Taylor, the infant daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ryder-Taylor, while crawl
ing on the floor, at her parents resi-
dence, 23S East Commerce street,
came across a kettle of hot water and
upset it. Her cries called prompt at
ten ton to her and it was then found
that the left arm and leg had been
scalded, but the injuries, though
painful, are not of a serious nature.
Today the child is resting quietly
and is doing well.

Did He Suicide?

There is slight doubt as to wheth-
er Malcolm Dodge, reported in
Saturdays LIGHT as having died
from morphine poisoning at the
Pacific house, really did suicide. Two
boxes tabled morphine, one contain
ing Is grains, the other empty, were
found on his person. His room was
in perfect order, valise packed, and
he had dressed himself in clean
suit of clothes. He was in very feeble
health and had no money, but he had
pass to admit him to the poorhouse.
He either was dispondent at having
to go on the county, or else took an
overdose of his favorite drug. Justice
Barnes is inclined to think the former,
though he has not yet rendered his
verdict.
