Congressman Finley's Escape.
HIS CARRIAGE CARRIED DOWN A STREAM AND HIS
COMPANION JUDGE TARTAR, DROWNED.
Louisville, Ky,. special to the Philadelphia
Press October q, says: Congressman Finley,
one of Kentucky's republican members Of the
House, had a narrow escape from drowning yes
terday by the upsetting Of buggy in Pittman
Creek, Pulaski County, and a companion, Judge
Tartar, lost his life. They were returning from
a trip to Wayne County on campaign business,
and attempted to ford the stream when it had
been swollen by heavy rains. Congressman
Finley gives the following account of the mis-
1--WE arrived at the creek safely, and I saw
that it was past fording and advised Judge Tar
tar not to try to cross He said there was no
till he began to founder, and then the Judge
tried to rein him in, but the hill was 30 steep
that the buggy kept pushing the horse further
into the stream, and in Q few moments he
was over his head. The buggy and
horse were carried rapidly down stream,
and I jumped out and swan to the shore. When
reached land Tartar was still holding to the
horse and buggy, but was up to his shoulders
in water. I hallooed to the judge to wait one
moment and would save him. ran about
800 yards up the bank, wrenched a plank of
the fence and, hurrying back, plunged into the
stream again and started to him. swan to
within few feet of him and cried out to him
to grab the plank, but he seemed to have lost
all presence of mind and made no attempt to
save himself. Knowing that both would drown
if swan to him and tried to pull him ashore, I
did not attempt to do SO, but pushed the plank
against his head, thinking. he would grasp it
and could then swim ashore with him. He
sank without struggle and never reappeared"

Emma Abbott's Fortune.

Five years ago Emma Abbott bought piece
OF real estate in Denver and put up 1.-THE Alb

three-quarters of million Of dollars, and it is
invested SO that it brings her in over 10 per

HIs SARCASTIC RxnA1Ks ABOUT uxIsrK1 wEsr's
LETrHR
Several thousand men and women assembled
in the Bellsville-Avenue Rink at Newark, N. j.,
Saturday evening to hear James @. Blaine
speak under the auspices of 1000 young repub-
licans. In the course Of his speech, after Q
few words ON the tariff question, Mr.. Blaine
said:
.'Now, this discussion of the tariff has been
interrupted by question that is very serious
on one side and little bit humorous on the
other, and that Is the recent letter Of the Brit
ish minister. From the beginning Of the cam
paign il has been obvious that England was
taking an extraordinary interest in the election
Of Mr.. Cleveland. The London papers at first
spoke out with extraordinary frankness. AZ
free-trade friends on this side of the ocean,
they subdued their tone, and the democratic
papers had begun to assert that the British
aristocracy were, in fact, backing the republic
can party, when, at this stage of the game, out
comes the letter of the British minister advis-
ing friend in California, who writes him, TO
vote for Mr.. Cleveland; that England would
find that Cleveland and the democratic party
were-in plain language don't quote him
literally-were the best friends England ever
had. What do the democrats do? AT first
they wanted to deny the letter, but Mr.. West is
a grand and honorable man and came out and
said he had really written the letter. And now
they turn all kinds of imprecations, and, may
say, curses, upon the man in California who
evoked the letter. They say he is a fraud, a
villain and a forger, and republican--in dis
guise; and in fact there never was any such
man. But in the name Of common sense, what
has that man to do with the British minister 8
letters? Suppose they prove him republican;
suppose they prove the letter was gotten up to
entrap, as they say that does not alter the

Mr.. Blaine also spoke in Sawyer Hall, New
ark, Saturday night to q large audience, but
only made a short speech. MIR. Blaine will rest
in New York until tomorrow in preparation for

English Indifference to Canada.

New York Times London Cable
The progress of the Manitoban revolt against
the monopoly Of the Canadian Pacific is watched
here with good deal of interest, and, despite
the fact that all the reports come from Toronto
and are strongly biased in favor of the Domin.
ion, such English opinion as I gather
is rather in favor Of Manitoba. Doubtless this
arises less from a knowledge of the circum.
stances than from the historic tendency of the
English to sympathize with the smaller antag.
onist whenever they themselves are not en-
gagged in thrashing somebody of less than their
size, but it is also indicative of q general in
difference to Canada. as q whole, which have
80 often commented on. Indifference is too
mild q word, for ever since the dominion
erected . hostile tariff against English trade
the feeling toward Canada over here has been
steadily growing into one of dislike, almost to
disgust On every side you hear the express
sion that Canada only remains in the empire
for what she can make out Of it.

Halloween Fancies.

Halloween Fancfes.
YOUNG PEOPLES ADJUSTMENTS ON THE NIGHT OF
THE WITCHES HOLIDAY.
Halloween (next Wednesday EVENING" is the
time when witches, sprites, and fairies hold
high carnival, and the old superstition has led
to the playing of games of fate by some young
people and the playing of mad pranks by
others. 1t is the night Of all the year for low
ers to try their fortunes, the old tradition going
that whatever is foretold that night in game
decided by chance will be sure to happen. Fol-
lowing are some Of the amusements peculiar to
the season, noted by the Philadelphia Times:
Not word must be spoken while three or
four girls beat eggs, weigh sugar and other
ingredients, mix and bake the Dumb Cake.
Before it is iced the mother of one of the max
ers or some elderly friend secretes ring, a
half-dime, and pearl button in the loaf, still
the same silence. On Halloween it is divided
into as many slices as there are unmarried peo-
pie present. Each slice is crumbed or eaten
in silence, which remains unbroken until the
The ring shows which of the party will be mar
ried first the coin promises wealth, the holder
of the button, II man, will have to sew on his
own buttons and tapes without the help of q
wife. II girl draws it, she will never, accord
ing to the dumb oracle, become a matron.
On stand in the middle Of the room are
arranged three tumblers or goblets. One con-
tains vinegar, another milk, q third clear
water. Each person il led blindfolded to the
table and dips his finger in the first vessel he
touches. II it contains water, he will die q
bachelor; II vinegar, he win marry shrew; If
milk, his wife win be sweet-tempered. These
rules hold good with women who put their fate
to the test, with, Of course, change in the sex
Of the partners for life. The position of the
tumblers must be shifted after each trial to
confuse the next candidate for luck or discom-
future.
This may be done on the hearth Of an open
shovel held over the CRATE. Two chestnuts
are named and laid together ON the heated
surface. II, in burning, they rest contentedly
side by side the omen Is favorable to harmo-
NOUS association. II one hops away or re-
