POLITICAL PERSONALS.

Alden J. Blethen is resident of the
Fifth ward, and consequently he thinks
the ward should send delegates TO the
city convention instructed TO vote FOR
him for mayor. Thomas Downs, the
Fifth ward alderman, however, claims
II would be political suicide to nominate
Blethen for mayor, and has taken it
upon himself to see that Blethen does
not get a single delegate from the ward.
In consequence of this opposition on the
part OF Downs, Blethen has come to the
determination that Downs shall not be
renominated for alderman, but that
Jacob \. WOlvertOn shall succeed him.
~
DR.. Brazie is on a still hunt after the
seat in the city council, now occupied
by Calvin Clark.
Frank J. Mead, formerly the Demo-
cratic city clerk and who was turned
out to make q place for Republican,
when the city administration changed,
is now said to be supporting Capt. BaoD
for mayor with the expectation that IN
case Babb is elected, that he may again
occupy his old berth as city clerk.
Can't. Darius A. Macarthur, of the
the Fourth ward, who was compelled
two years ago by his employer, Alden
J. Biethen. to withdraw from the race
for alderman after he had succeeded in
carrying a majority of the precincts in
the Fourth ward, says that he expects
10 get even with Blethen during the
coming campaign.
At the meeting held yesterday after
noon at GeTmania hall by the German
residents OF the First ward, Frederick
Brueshaber was chosen as the candl-
date Of the German Democrats OF the
ward for alderman. When the meeting
was first called to order quite spirited
discussion enSued as to the merits of
quite a number of persons who were
named for the position, but on the first
ballot taken, at which 243 votes were
cast, Mr.. BrueShaber was chosen by a
good majority. His nomination was
then made unanimous.

A GREAT SALVATION.
That Which the Lord Offers Us
Is Simple, Divine.

AT Westminster church yesterday
evening Rev. d. j. Burrell preached
from Heb. H., 8. 1t is great
salvation, said he, which the
gospel offers us; great because of its
divine Author because of the mighty
deliverance it effects, because of the
glorious heaven which it opens wide;
great because of what it has already ac-
complshed in the glorification of a
countless multitude who once went sor-
rowing in darkness and the shadow of
death, and because of the still greater
achievement which it promises in the
final emancipation of this world from
the bondage of SIN; great, also, because
it is the divine ultimatum to sinners, as
it is written there is none other name
under heaven or given among men
whereby we must be saved than that of
Jesus Christ.
First-This great salvation is repre-

A Rennllfnl Girl,s sod Fate.

CRrcAGo, March lG.-A dispatch from
Springfield, Missouri, says: Ettie Ellis,
who was assaulted with vitriol by DR..
Cox, Wednesday, is slightly better.
While delirious she rehearsed the ter
rible scene in the hack, and her piteous
appeals and screams Of agony were heart
rending. The girls left eye will be
saved, but her right eye is entirely gone.
Her face is horribly disfgured and the
handsome, fasCinatinggirl is changed to a
iearfully Scared woman whose counte-
nance will be forever repulsive. Later
developments prove beyond . doubt
that shO was decoyed here by the father
for the sole purpose of destroying her
beauty, and thus to loosen the only
hold, as hc thought, she could possibly
have upon his son. DR.. Cox left the
town ut a late hour Wednesday night 70
escape possible attack by mob, and
his son Fenton was run off TO Memphis
and tho South early in the afternoon.
The assailaHt OF the girl, who Is . man
proud OF his family name, was undoubt.
edy driven insane by the disgrace forced
upon him. This is the only explanation
given for his act, The girl was his sons
mistress.

CONGRESSMAN W. L. WfLsoS, West
virginia's representative on the Ways
and Means Committee, is quoted in the
Cincinnati Enquirer as saying that it is
proposed to put wool on the free list "to
help the American wooi,grower and to
save the American manufacturer" But
the wOol-grower and the manufacturer
have united in a protest against being
helped and saved in the way so well
thought Of by Mr.. Wilson. 1t is a sad
reflection that the wool-grower and the
manufacturer do not know what is best
for them.
In the same interview Mr.. Wilson is
quoted as saying in a fearful way that
"there is u tax of 81 05 on yard OF COM
mon cheviot that costs 81 25." 1t was
tho pleasant privilege Of the writer, u
few days ago, to order from Wheeling
merchant tailor Sunday suit Of che
viot Of quality equal to the best import
cd. The cheviOt was made in Pennsyl-
yania, let us hope Of American wool,
the clothes will be made in Wheeling,
the merchant tailor Aforesaid will make
comfortable profit, and a manly form
will bc clothed dccently and satisfac-
toriy for the sum of$25. In the course
Of these few remarks that alleged tax Of
81 O5 per yard has somehow eIuded our
vigilance. Since it doesn't seem to be
included in the cost OF the Sunday sui" "
We shall not waste time in looking for it,

Snow Fast Disappearing.
New YORK, March 16.-As New York,
with its outlying suburban districts,
slowly emerges from the ice and snow,
further reports from the loss of life from
the late blizzard are coming in.
Just how many people have met their
fate in the icy blast OF last Monday, will
not be known for some time. Nearly
thirty deaths are, however, known TO
have occurred. The victims included
alike the warmly clad merchant and the
thinly clad tramp, who gave up his life
while wandering IN outcast in the
storm.
A gentleman who has reached this city
from Providence reports that the tr1dn
which left Providence on the Short Line
ut IL o'clock Monday morning, stuck fast
in the snow at Saybrook. The passeng-
ens on board suffered terribly, being
without food, water or fire.
The crew OF the oyster steamer Jcre-
miah Smith, OF Oyster Point, had a ter
rible experience on Long Island Sound
during the storm. The steamer went
aground on n bar near Oyster Point.
They had nothing to eat, were fourmilcs
from land, and the storm made IL impOs-
sible for their distress signals TO he seen
from other Cratt. The men were ALTER
ribly frozen, and it is thought that two
OF them will die. '''tf

Pupils In High School Go ON a Strike, but
tho Parents settieIt.
Dies MoINEs, IA, March lG.-The strike
fever seized the high school pupils Mt
Pella, Marion county, yesterday.
There was much dissatisfaction last
week when it was announced that the
Board OF Directors had decided against
giving the usual weeks vacation, the
custom for the last fifteen years. A pc
tition was circulated and unanimously
signed by the pupils, but in vain, and us
a last resort strike measures were taken.
At $3.50 u. m. sixty pupils, ranging
from to l6 years Of age, babe defiance
to the powers that be, and marched out
OF the building in a body, with banners
and the stars and stripes Haunting over
the tyrants' heads. On the banners were
notices such as 1--WE claim our rights" /"
and similar expressions. They tramped
like miniature army from the play
groundup the railroad track and into the
suburbs, where they held regular pic
mic.
The strike continued att day, the chill
dren going home for dinner at noon as II
nothing had happened, and promptly re-
turning as II going to school, but instead
going TO the general rendezvous.
Late in the evening tho parents got
wind of the matter and informed the
youthful strikers that "if they refused
to return they would Join the strike too.
They did, and the youthful strikers re.
turned to school this morning, with their
spirits more subdued than before the
trouble occurred,

ASCHOOI HOUSE BADLY DAMAGED
by Fire ofsupposed Incondiary Origin Mt
BeIIaIre.

BeIlaire.
About eleven o'clock last night per-
sons who CHANGED to be on the street at
Bellaire observed flames in the tower Of
the large Fourth ward school building.
An alarm was ut once rung in aad tho
department responded promptly and did
good work, but so great start had tho
fire gotten that before it Eas exiting
uished the tower was gutte3 from ground
to roof, and the roof OF the central por-
ton OF the building waS weakened by
the burning OF the tipbers so that tho
roof fell in.
II was ascertained that the fire started
on the stage OF the hall in tho fourth
story, and it is believed that it was Of
incendiary origin, as there was no posi-.
Bile way for fire to originate there, and
a half hour or so before the fire two men
were seen to come out OF the school
building and run up an alley.
The injury to the house will necessi-
tate the suspension OF school work until
the damage is repaired. The loss is esti-
mated at $1,000. A new piano recently
pdrchased by the high school, and tho
township school library were burned.
Z The house WIS insured in the agencies
of Messrs. Crafty & Co., Husbands Il
Inskecp, and A. Roeder. The amount
in the latter two companies could not bo
learned last night. Crafty & Co. havo

SHE IS A NHHTIGO!
More About that Genuine Case
Of cannibaIism.
SHE FEAsTED ON HER CHILDREN.
Tho Indian Woman Who Butchers
and Eats Her Own omprins-A
Strange Custom that Prevail,
Among Canadian Natives.

WINNIPEG, MAN, March lG.-But few
particulars OF the recent cases Of canni-
balism in the Peace River district arc
obtainable. They occurred in the fer
northwestern portion Of the Territories,
200 or 800 miles beyond Edmonto.
"The Peace Rivercountry is inhabited
by Cree Indians and half-breeds. Most
OF them are Pagans and still clingclosely
to the traditions OF the Cree nation.
They believe that at times evil spirits
enter the bodies OF members Of the tribe,
turning them into wehitigos, who kill
and devour their families. It is usual
when any member Of the tribe shows
signs Of becoming u wehitigo for tho
members OF his or her family to kill the
person so afflicted.
Last fall half.breed named Conte-
raille, assisted by his son, killed his
wife because 1t was believed she was
turning wehitigo. The Dominion Gov
ernment sent Il detachment OF police in
to the Peace River district and arrested
them, and they are now serving q term
for manslaughter in the Stony Mountain
penitentiary. Their punishment caused
much disaiIection among members of
the tribe, who contended that II they
had not put the woman to death shc
would have killed her children and eat
en- them.
The woman who is the cause of the
present cases of Cannibafism turned
wehitigo some years ago and killed and
ate one OF her children before she was
suspected. Having once tasted human
blood, she issppposed blythe Indianstobe
endowed with superhuman powers, and
they are in such terror OF her that no at
tempts have been made to kill her. At
intervals OF four or five months her era
wing for human blood returns, and while
in these fits it is reported she assails the
first person she meets. Most OF her
children have fallen victims, having
been slain with ap axe. The half-breeds
and Indians are in terror, and it is pro-
bable police force will be sent to Peace
River to arrest the man-eater.

DECATUR, ILL, March 16.-A number
Of the local members OF the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers had a confer
ence last evening with Jason Rodgers,
the railroad and warehouse commission
er, with reference to the power OF the
State Board to compel the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy Company to employ
competent engineers and fireman in rum
ming trains. The conference listed an
hour, the engineers leaving the presence
OF the Commissioner, impressed with the
fact that under the law the State Board
had no power to give the people or the
strikers relief. Should the shippers and
people along the line OF the road enter
into formal complaint against the Bur-
lington company, and file it, then the
Board would be authorized to make an
Investigation.

A Different Account.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-The diabolical
action OF DR.. Geo. NJ. Cox, Of Springfield,
No., in pouring acid on Efic Ellis still
continues to be subject OF comment,
and owing to the. grossly exaggerated re-
ports sent abroad, the woman has come
in for good deal Of sympathy, and the
doctor has been vigorously cried down.
The facts Of the matter are that the wo-
man is but slightly INJURED and willnot be
disfgured to any extent or lose the sight
Of either eye, though she may quit fool
ing with frenzied physician and father.
The acid used was carbolic and caused q
good deal OF smarting and weakness in
the eyes. The doctor intimates now
that II was not he that was in tho car
riagc, and Hatly denies the assertion that
he lured the girl to Springfield.

Chairman Carroll that the men on the
Kansas CITY, IT. Scott & Gulf would
leave their engines Mt o'clock this af-
ternoon, and that furthermore the men
would go out at the rate OF a road day
until the matter was settled. The men
on the Missouri Pacific are very uneasy,
and this morning delegation OF them
visited the rooms OF the committee and
asked for orders to strike. This was not
granted, but the inference drawn from
the conversation with the committee
was that the men on the Missouri Pacific
would go out tomorrow and the Union
Pacific would so out on Sunday. The
committee says positively that there can
be no compromise in this matter, but
not road will be run until the men are
reinstated on the Quincy.
The woman who went out on No. to-
day as fireman, was Hattie Reed, for
merly of Kcwaunee, Ill. During the strike
Of ~ she acted us fireman for her hus-
band, from Gafesburg to Burlington.
The engineers say that Wharton is o
frst-class engineer and had promised
them that he would not go out. II is
that he was compelled to
take this action by his wife.
