ELOPEMENT FROM ST. LOUIS.
LisIson Of an HditOr with u Theatre
Managers wife.

A startling social sensation occurred in
st. Louis few days ago, Henry Moore,
managing editor of the Dispatch, and
the wife of John W. Norton, the manager of
The Grand Opera house and the Olympic the
atre, left the city together in clandestine
and scandalous manner. From developments
it appears that the couple have been unduly
Intimate for over n year, but their liatson
was not known TO MIR. Norton until Thurs!
Jay last, when the fact was carried to him
thl ough an anonymous letter. On Thursday
evening Norton met Moore and Mrs Norton
at the corner of Locust and Jefferson ave-
nues, in the western part Of the city, and at
tempted to shoot Moore but he was disarmed
by friend who was passing at the time.
Mrs. Norton removed her money and other
valuables from the Safe Deposit company,
amounting to about 1900, and
she and Moore left the city
in carriage. Mrs. Norton before her mar
riage was named Emma Stickmar and was q
very handsome woman and an actress of
high repute, She was born in Baltimore
and is well known throughout the east. Mr.
Norton is known the country over as a sue
cessful theatrical manager and cultivated
gentleman and a man Of high character,
both in and out Of his profession. Mr..
Moore has been managing editor of the Post
Dispatch for several years, and has most
estimable wife, who is now at Maniton
Springs, COL, with her only child, boy of
six years.

MT. HOOD ILLUMINATION.
The Recent Experiment Pronounced
~ Grand success.

A dispatch from Portland, Or, says: The
Mt Hood Illuminating party has just re-
turned from its trip. Tney report having
experienced terribly rough time, When
more than half way up the mountain they
were overtaken by fearful wind and snow
storm. They descended the mountain as
rapidly as possible to camp near the timber
line. Cold, bitter weather prevailed, ac-
companied by a furious gale and binding
snow storm. The party succeeded in max
ing the very dangerous descent, but
two narrowly escaped losing their lives by
siding down fathomless crevice. Lieut..
O'Neill reports having distinctly seen on the
night of the Fourth of July flashes Of calcium
light from the heliograph made by United
States Signal Officer GLASS in this city. He
was unable to read the signals, owing to the
great distance and murky condition of the
atmosphere, but the flashes We're distinctly
visible These flashes were answered by
Lieut. O'Neill by turning small quantities Of
red light, and these iluminations were plain
ly seen in Portland under favorable condi-
tions. O'Neill and Glass express the opinion
that photographic signals can be easily read
for distance of 65 miles. The illumination
expel iment proved grand success.

MOUNTED SWORD CONTEST,
Lisut, Mckinney Defeats Mr. Dun.
Can g, NSSsa.

Can G, B6sa.
The tournament Of the Scranton (Pa.)
Caledonisn club at the Driving Park on the
4th, was witnessed by 6OO0 persons and fur
nished programme as thrilling as any sup
posed to be enjoyed in the ancient Roman
arena. A mounted sword combat of a des-
perate nature took place between Duncan G,
Ross and Lieut.. Mckinney of Ohio, in which
Mckinney was the victor by score of q
to points. In the sword fight Ross and
Mckinney fought all over the field and
rushed among the crowd, striking at each
other viciously and sndangering the lives of
the spectators. Just before the combat Nc
Kinney addressed the multitude and said he
would rather defeat Ross than be president
of the United States. At the close
OF the contest he was hailed the victor with
wild enthusiasm and he is now the lion of
the day. Lieut.. Mckinney, the winner of
the mounted sword combat against Duncan
Ross and the present champion in that par
tlcular branch OF sport, is son of Judge
Mckinney of Ohio, a student of West Point
and member of the bar, While in Brazil
9 few years ago, as h member of Prof
Hartts staff on the geological survey, he was
compelled to fight duel, and he vanQuished
his man, Carlos de Santes. Since then he
has met and conquered in mounted sword
contests Sergt Walsh and Maj. Mcguire,
ana now Ine gfeaU duncan y. RoSS. Inc
killing of Sergt. Walsh's horse on the field of
sport was a shocking spectacle this after
noon. Walsh was first to start off on the
Indian pegging contest, and, in striking at
the peg, his steel pointed spear stuck fast in
the ground, His horse was on gallop,
struck the spear, dashed it forward, and
then the animal impaled itself on the weapon,
which entered near the right shoulder, and,
passing through, came out through the back,
Just behind the saddle. The riders clothing
was caught and torn by the spear, and he
had narrow escape from being pinned to
the horse. Twenty men struggled for
several minutes to pull the spear through
the horses body, and finally succeeded by
some pushing on the handle OF the weapon,
while others pulled on the point. Several
ladies were so impressed by the sickening
sight that they tainted.

LITERARY NOTICES.
New Books

delightful little volume of poems from
the pen of Mrs. II. n. jenkins of kenduskcag
Maine has just been issued from the press of
o. +. Knowles K Co. of Bangor. The work
is model of typographical beauty and taste
and beautiful medium for the presentation
of the clear strong thought of the author. 1t
is impossible to read these poems
without feeling the influence
of the earnest and christian spirit that
breathes through every one of them. The
diction of these poems is clear the metre
musical and correct. the rythm flowing
The verses will stand the test of the most
rigid rules by which the captious critic could
measure them, but it is not this quality tina;
lends them the irresistible charm which they
possess. 1t is the sweetness of spirit that per
vaties them, and which shows beyond doubt
that the author wrote from full heart and
out of the realm of experiences which
touched her own life and left their impress
on her own soul. There is genial warmth
in these verses that smiles up through even
the saddest lines to whisper faith and patience
We predict for this volume IA warm place in
the hearts of our people. 1t deserves to be
IN every home 1t can BE- fou at or ordered
of any book seller. 1t deserves a wide sale.

the insolence of the saloon the Republic

The Republicans of-Augusta will do
we'll not to be caught mapping in the near
approaching city election. The Repabli-
cans of the Maine cities which gave such
signal proofs Of their vigor and determine
ton last Monday, not only have given
this strong encouragement to the Republi-
cans of other cities and towns of the
State, but they have furnished inspiring
reasons why the capital Of Maine should
surpass them in the emphasis of Repub-
iean victory. Never before has Augusta
had such strong reasons to make the most
emphatic protest against the principles
and measures of Free Trade as now.
Never before have our citizens so many
reasons to stand in defense Of the Ameri-
can system of Protection as now. Her
immense water power is rapidly coming
into use under the fostering stimulus of
Protective tariff, and the increasing
hum of spindles and other varied indus
tries promises to make Augusta pros
porous and populous city. just now the
reported the Mills tariff bill, and has
seduced Grover Cleveland into crusade
against that policy on which the future
of this city depends. Next Monday let
the Republicans and all others who wish
TO -peak against this attack on our hopes
of growth and prosperity, and against the
shameful surrender Of the fishing inter
ests in the Bayard treaty, go to the polls
and roll up splendid anti-Free Trade
majority. Work, organization, and
genuine enthusiasm will accomplish the
desired result.
