Beatrice Greenholtz Practices Gunnefs
with Lamps and Dishes.
Beatrice Greenholz, sometimes known
as Beatrice Ward, was arrested by Con-
stable Woodbury.. last evening,
on a warrant issued by jus
tice Ward, charging her with atrocious
assault. Some time ago she left her home
at No. 167 Railroad avenue, and when she
returned on January 2 she found that her
husband had sold the furniture and moved
away.
She then went to the rooms of Mrs.
Catherine Backus, called that lady vile
names and threw an expensive parlor
lamp, valued at Sl4, at her, and bonn
barded her with the costly glass dishes
that Mrs Backrls had set out on her table
preparatory to receiving New Years calls.
Beatrice then fled and was not arrested
until last evening.
She was held for examination.

by cable to the United Press.l

LONDON, March 2, 1885, The re-
port of Pigott's suicide at Madrid
causes a profound sensation here.
Witnesses have been sent to formally
identify the body supposed to be that
of the forger. The police intend to
hold Pigott's effects pending an order
from the Court.
IT WAS PIGGoTT.
Dispatches from Madrid confirm the
report that the suicide of yesterday
was Pigott, and there is no longer any
doubt as to his identity. The English
embassy's officials have identified the
body as that Of Pigott. On Thursday
the forger sent telegram to Mr..
Soames' Office in London. The
message gave his address in Madrid,
and probably from this telegram the
government learned that Pigott was
in Madrid.
A notebook containing the addresses
of number of people in Ireland was
found on the body of the suicide.
The interim report of the Special
Commission on the Parnell forgeries
will reach Parliament next week.
GLADsToNE's TRIUMPH.
The Telegraph says the speech de-
livered by Mr.. Gladstone in the House
of Commons last night was historical.
He is seen on the war path at his best,
and his attack upon the Liberal Union
lists was made with the tremendous
force of invective and sarcasm of a
great master.
Mr.. Chamberlain smiled nervously
as the House roared at the great bib
erals sarcastic aliusions, and glanced
curiously at Mr.. Gladstone at other
times. The ex-Premier's peroration
was spoken in the character of a
prophet of the wrath to come, with
resonant voice and flashing eyes. The
aged statesman looked like another
Isaiah, crying, "Woe unto them in
high places in Jerusalen"l His last
words We're signs of coming doom, and
he finished amid a tempest of cheers.

By Gable to the United PfeSs.I
LONDON. March 2, 1SS9:-By COM
parison of notes the foreign contingent
at the Queens drawingroom were of
the opinion that the few American
ladies there bore off the palm for
beauty. There were few of the lately
authorized high dresses to be seen,
although they would have been an
improvement to the looks of many of
the aristocratic ladies there, but
those displayed were not only much
commented upon, but highly admired.
To repeat what it is to be hoped is
untrue of the American ladies now in
London, they are credited with feeling
a secret pleasure at the absence of the
Duchess of Marlborough from the
levees. 1t is true that her grace an
nounced that she did not care to be
there and would be introduced to Her
Majesty at some future drawingroom,
but the general opinion is that the
pleasure of the Queens acquaintance
is one that she will never know. 1t is
certainly humiliating to the lady in
question to meet with nothing but
cold looks in the land of her adoption,
but she is not likely to receive much
comlniseration, particularly from her
compatriots.
There is not an empty room in a
hotel, nor a villa to be rented in
Biarritz, where the English Queen
will be the attraction for while. Her
physical health is good, although she
is hypochondriacal at times, but it is
as necessary as ever for her to be care
fully watched by her devoted attend
ants, who assuredly have no sinecure.
If they should survive her, the British
notion should not grudge them fat
pensions, but the fate of the stalwart
gillie of her deceased spouse gives
those of middle age little encourage
ment that they will outlast the tough
old lady
Somewhat different from a royal
drawing room will be the competitive
assemblage of types of the beauty, not
only of the civilized but also of the
savage world, to take place at Paris
next April. The two ''beauty shows
which have been held in Europe dur
ing the last year were successes, bar
ring the fact that the ladies who Sc
cured no prizes and their friends and
admirers We're perfectly satisfied
that the judges were bribed and per-
jured monsters. Types of Asiatic and
African beauty win be represented at
the entrancing Paris display, and if
the widely diveEging ideas OF lovehness
should chancet& concentrate upon one
fortunate exemAlar, the experience Of

Queer Kentucky Lingo.

The Kentucky mountain vernacular
has peculiarities which Charles Egbert
Craddock did not find or notice in her
Tennessee mountaineers. Here a man
who wants to say he fired two shots
says he shot two shots. The Western
expression of getting the drop is never
used, mountaineer saying instead that
he "throwed his gun furst." The pre-
fixes in and i'm are not known, un being
used instead, as impossible" for in
stance. To "mislist" a man is to de-
ceive and ill-treat him, and when man
says "his word is his jint, he wants TO
convey the impression that he is speak
ing as truthfully as if under oath. The
queer expressions are SO numerous that
it is hard to understand all that is said.
A dialogue that was gem in its way
was indulged in by two young noun
tain gallants, one asking: "Be it mohe
fur you to see Nance this AFTERNOON 2"
The answer was "No; / don't have
bound to, but aim to-" The man who
has knocked on door, when asked what
he wants, says "I want in" and in the
same style he would ask stranger,
"How might you call you?" They have
no difficulty in understanding each 9th.

WANT SWITZERLAND.
Russia and Germany CoYes the Little Re
public.
London cable

Considerable discussion has been
aroused in the various European capitals
lately by the belligerent tone assumed by
the Russian and German press toward
Switzerland on account of the liberty al
lowed by that ancient confederation to
the Socialist and Nihilist refugees within
its borders. Doubtless tho diatribes al
most daily hurled against the Swiss Gov
ernment are intended chiefly 10 intimi-
date the Swiss into taking steps toward
tie expulsion of the hordes of plotters
against royalty and society who
have letaken themselves to Switzer-
land 10 escape long terms of
Imprisonment or to save their necks, but
there is still less doubt that both the
Car and the Kaiser have more than once
cast covetous eyes upon the territory COM
prisirg the little republic, and would glad
ly, if they dared, add its acres to their nj
ready enormous domains. In this view
the current OF discussion runs toward
careful calculation of the chances of nm
attack upon Switzerland by one or even
both of the powers named. England
wolld certainly not permit such move
vi hout formidableprotest, and Frances
interests under her present form of gov
ernmsnt lie in the direction of preserving
the integrity of the only really success
full European government by the people,
to say nothing of the other considerations
which would influence her action in matter
in which Germany was deeply concerned.
Even Austria and Italy, subservient as
they are to Germany, would hardly coun-
tenance an invasion of Switzerland. aud
many Europeans bel eve that the United
States though in no way interested in the
internal affairs Of Europe, would, fiom
sentimental motives, interpose her veto on
an act which would cause the overthrow of
the Swiss confederation and the annexa-
ton of its territory. Then, too, the peo-
pie of Switzerland are to be considered in
such a contingency, and not lightly. The
peacefully inclined Swiss Government
might POSSIBLY submit to mild degree
of coercion applied by the stronger pow
ers for the purpose of compelling the ex-
pulsion of plotting social SITS and anarch-
lists, nihilists and the like rather than be
drawn into armed conflict with its neigh
bors; but the memory of countless victo-
ries by Helyeians in years long gone by,
ending in the recognition of Swiss inde-
pendepce the world over, is still fresh in
the national miud. Tic hardy Swiss
mountaineer is just as brave and uncon-
querab'e to-day as he was hundreds of
years ago, and with the assistance which
would surely be forthcoming at the outset
of any attempt to sabdue Switzerland

Million Dollars Damage Done to Farm
and Other Property I'm That state-North
Carolina Also Visited by the Destructive
Hailstones.
Norfolk (Va.) dispatch.l
One of the most severe hailstorms that
ever struck this section has Just passed
over Norfolk, Portsmouth, and vicinity.
Ice PARTICLES of extraordinary size came
down with the hail, and several inches of
hail lay in drifts before the deluge O. rain
that followed carried it away. The shade
trees OF the streets and the flower and
vegetable gardens were badly wrecked In
the country the truck farms were badly
torn up, Strawberries, peas, cabbage, and
other crops being beaten TO the ground.
The vineyards and orchards suffered Sc
verely, vines and trees being cut terribly
and the fruit destroyed. Many of the
truckers express themselves as ruined for
the season. A swath of five or six miles
broad was cut through Norfolk and Nan
semond Counties by the storm The truck
ers all around the Hodges Ferry section
and between the Western Branch River
and Portsmouth lost everything. The loss
will probably reach a million dollars,
and it is too late now to attempt
to recover. The hailstorm and rainfall
swept over Southampton County in the
vicinity of Newsom's Depot and the
growing crops and orchards were badly
damaged by large pieces of ice and the
great quantity of it. The drifts OF hail
we're twenty-four inches deep in some
places, and twelve hours after the storm
the drifts were over six inches in depth.
The barn of w. S. Francis was blown
down by the wind and demolished and
three horses killed Other farmers suf-
fered in damage to their buildings. The
storm struck the great bridge section of
Norfolk County, the hailstones in some
cases being as large as pullet eggs. The
potatoes and vegetable gardens were dam
aged. Three men at work in field be-
yond Deep Creek during the same storm
urIo struck ny Hgntn1ng ana Dadly IN
jured.
The seyerest cyclone ever known there
passed over Danville, doing great damage
TO roofing, fences, shade, and fruit trees.
Three tobacco factories were unroofed,
the bridge over the Dan River damaged,
a house in course of construction and the
colored Baptist Church blown down, the
roof of the storage warehouse partly blown
off, and Lees tobacco warehouse dam
aged. The shed over the brick mill was
blown down and fell on N. A. Fitzgerald,
tho proprietor, seriously injuring him.
The cyclone was accompanied by rain and
slight hail, lasting fifteen minutes.
A dispatch from Lumberton, N. c.,
says six inches of hail fell there. A gale
preceded the storm, unroofng many small
houses and utterly obliterating the crops.
