Pickpockets in the Crowd.

NEW HAVEN, Oct Ex-Governor Hill spoke to great audience at the Hyperion here Saturday night. A gang of pickpockets had evidently followed him up from New York, and probably worked the crowd in Bridgeport and Waterbury. At ali events they reaped a harvest here The officials on duty at police headquarters were over whelmed with complaints by those who had lost watches, chains and pocketbooks.

THE HEBREW BUTCHER.

His Methods Not So Humane as Those of the Gentile-DetaiIs.
 The method of butchering employed by Hebrews, while perhaps not so humane as that of the Christian butcher, has it's advant- ages Bullocks are not hit on the head with heavy hammer to stun them.

The knife used for the purpose is twenty inches long and sharp as a razor In the operation the animals head is, by one long, quick stroke, nearly severed rom its body.

The Hebrew religion requires that cattle shall be butch cred Ill this way, so that every drop of blood IS allowed to run from the body.

The scene was not one to tighten the heart of a man in sympathy with the work or the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The artist who did all the damage assured me that the sheep suffered no pain. The knife, he said, was so sharp that death was instantaneous, and if the animals did struggle it was due purely to muscular contraction.

of the Canadian Pacific
 WINNIPEG, Man, Oct 22-The local gov- ernment here recently granted to local rail- road company rights of way The proposed route ot this new road crosses the line of the canadian Pacific six miles west of Winnipeg. The Canadian Pacific company disputed the right to cross their tracks, and blocked the proposed intersection by side tracking loco motlve at the disputed point. The Canadian taclhc also secured an injunction restraining the new company from prosecuting it's work pending an appeal to the primary council. Public feeling ill the matter is very bitter against the Canadian Pacific, and some four hundred citizens proceeded to the disputed point with the intention of forcing a crossing, notwithstanding the order of the court. The Canadian Pacific was notified, and by the use ot special train managed to get two or three hundred armed workmen to the scene, pre- pared to defend their property The citizens were overawed by this display of force, and withdrew before any collision took place. It IS reared that another demonstration against the Canadian Pacific will be made and that serious results will follow,

FOUR MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.

 Frightened.

Frightened.
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 22.-The people of Tuscaloosa, a small town fifty-six miles south west of this city. are excited by the myster- lous murder of four negroes within ten days. The first victim was John Hill, respected negro mechanic, who was supposed to have been murdered for his money. His dead body was found on the street one morning with the throat cut and fifteen knife wounds in the body. Last Monday the body of an un- known negro was found in the woods a few miles from town, and Friday the body of the third victim was found in the river near by, the throats of both having been cut from ear to ear Yesterday morning the body of the fourth victim was found in the woods near town. The officers have so far been unable to obtain any clew to the perpetrators ot the crimes. The body found yesterday has not yet been identified. All the victims had their throats cut. With the exception of the first one the bodies showed no other marks of violence. The colored people of the town have been frightened out of their wits by these crimes.

CHICAGO, Oct 22.-Miss Maud Harrison, the soubrette actress, who will join A. M. Palmer's company at the Chicago Opera house tonight, will be married to James A. Carson, tine proprietor of the Columbia thea Ire, Thursday night Miss Harrison will play in "Our Society" the first three nights of the week and will then leave the stage perma- nently. The wedding will take place in New York, whither Miss Harrison will go imme- dlately after the close of the performance Wednesday night. Mir. Carson recently figured in a rather sensational divorce suit, brought by his first wife, in which the name5 of several well known actresses were freely used. The last that was heard of the suit was a compromise and agreement to separate without a decree of divorce, but it appears that Mrs Carson has since pressed her suit and secretly secured her decree. MT. Carson is rich and the son of man who is still richer

 LONDON, Oct. 22.-An of the Parnellites implicated in the charges of The Times and all the witnesses summoned by both sides for the opening day of tue IA7lell commission are in London, i'll readiness to attend the first sitting of the commission, which began to- day. Among the witnesses is Chief Police Superintendent Mallon, of Dublin, whose evidence promises to be of Ssstartling charac- ter. Mallon has watched the inner workings of Fenianism since 1867, having been assisted in his work by informers, who have abun- dantly supplied him with details otherwise unobtainable. James Carey, the informer, who was killed at the Cape of Good Hope, was commissioned to assassinate Mallon at the time of the Phoenix park murders, but being then ill the pay of the enemy, as we'll as in the confidence of the of his own organization, he failed to carry out the work assigned to him. Much of the information in the possession Of Mallop was furnished by Carey, and there is great curiosity to observe to what extent if at all, the commission will admit the hearsay evidence thus obtained.
