BURGLARS cHLoRoFoRM A FAMILY.
The Wife Dies from the Effects of the
Drug-A Il " Visitor Seriously Hi.

The Wife Dies from the Effects of the
Drug-A Ii " Visitor Seriously Hi.
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 4.-Burglars en-
tered and robbed the house of DR..
Kniffen, well-known dentist here, last
night, using chloroform to prevent the
family from waking. Mrs. Kniffen has
since died from the effects of the chloro-
form and Miss Purcell, who was visiting
the family, is dangerously i'll.
Miss Purcell, the young lady who
boarded with the Kniffens, was, in
short time, sufficiently revived to tell in
broken way the details OF the horrible
affair. She said that she and Mrs.
Kniffen retired about 10 o'clock. They
both slept in the same bed, and before
retiring they took the precaution to
place a wooden rack against the door in
order to make it more secure and to
warn them if any one should enter.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning, as
nearly as she can remember, she was
awakened by hearing Mrs. Kniffen
scream, urging her to call for help, as
some one was in the room. Miss Purcell
sprang out of bed and rushed into the
adjoining room. and was just on the
point of raising the window when she
was seized by a man and a handkerchief
placed over her nose ana mOuUn SAUL
rated with chloroform. She remembers
Just as she was becoming unconscious
looking through the door into Mrs.
Kniffen's room, and seeing that lady
struggling with burglar and heard her
screaming. She then passed into un-
consciousness.
No Clue to ti,e Murderers.
There is not the slightest clue to the
perpetrators of this dastardly deed. There
is no trace as to the manner in which the
entrance to the house was effected, ex-
cept that the back door was found to be
unlocked. A strange fact connected
with the affair is that the house was
robbed only short time ago under SIM
liar circumstances. DR.. Kniffen was
absent from the city at that time, and
the house was ransacked, but the burg
lars were never caught. The police are
working on this case with the great
est assiduity, and they hope to be able
to apprehend the murderers No articles
of value are as yet missing, but so con-
fused is everything that it is impossible
to tell what has been taken. The family
is not wealthy, so as to attract robbers,
and the whole affair is yelled in mystery.
Dr. A. Kniffen. whose wife was found
dead, returned home last night and was
taken to police headquarters by detec-
tives. He denied the report that his
family relations were unpleasant and
that he has been attentive to Miss Pur-
cell, the typewriter who makes her home
with him.

caIIy Story Printed in That Paper.
New YORK, Jan. 6.-The Sun printed
a dispatch from Albany in which it was
stated that ex-President Cleveland had
made his re-entrance into railroad poll
tics in the Hustled rapid transit bill; that
he probably drew up the bill with the
assistance of others, and also intimated
that he would he one of the five COM
missioners named IN the bill. The at
tention of Mr.. Cleveland was called to
these statements. He said: "There Is
absolutely no truth in the report. | had
not heard of it until last night. Now, |
want to say to you for the benefit of all
the gentlemen of the press, that it is use
less for you to come way up here to in
vestigate any stories The Sun may pub
lIsh. for there will be no truth in them,
in all probability. OF all the newspapers
in the world The New York Sun is the
one least likely to find out anything of
my plans for the future, and it has
known mighty little of my plans in the
past. Several stories have been pub
lished in The Sun lately which have
caused me some annoyance. One was
to the effect that | was about to leave
town, and several gentlemen called here
to ascertain its truth. No. will say
again, there is not one word of truth in
the statements made that / am con-
nected with the Hustled rapid transit
bill"

Principal SeapOrts of India.
From the Glasgow Herald.

| have received from India an inter
esting statement respecting the position
and progress of the five leading India
ports-namely Bombay Calcutta, Ran
COON, Madras, and Kurtachee. 1t APP
pears that Calcutta progresses more
slowly than any of th4 others, While
Bombay, in spite Of the growth OF In
dian trade, preserves her position not
only in relation to thd others, but to
the whole trade of Ind 1t absorbs
between % and 45 per cent, of the total
trade although its neighbour, kurra-
chez, is growing rapidly. The latter IS
the port for the Punjaul, and at present
has less than 5 per cent of the whole
trade. The trade of Calcutta increases
absolutely, though relatively the pro-
portion declines. In 1851 this proper
ton was 81 per cent. of the whole,
while in 1889 it was down to "a. Ran
COON ranks third in Importance, but
with steadily increasing trade, and
Madras fourth. Calcutta, it is suggest
ed, suffers on account of its distance
from the sea and the nature of the nav
igation at Hoogly. | h consequence Of
the development of the railways IN In
dia also, trade has tendency to collect
in Bombay, which is nearer to the great
import and export market OF Europe,
while on account ofIthc phenomenal
development of it's cotton industry it is
simultaneously becoming the principal
port in India for the trade of China and
the far East Rangoon also is becom-
ing more and more a port for the trade

ways remain great rich port and MouI-
mein an important center for the timber
