SteDbrOther.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-A remarkable oc-
currence that is rapidly developing into
Il sensational murder mystery is Great
ing intense excitement at Feversham.
DR.. w. r. LydGOn was at one time the
most popular physician in Feversham.
He had a large practice. and was said TO
enjoy correspOndingly large income.
de drove dog cart and a variety of
other vehicles supposed to be the ac-
compartment and guarantee of success.
Or. Lyddon also had pretty Wife-a
charming woman with an attractive
personality and magnetic influ-
ence. She led in the social en-
tertainments among her neighbors.
She was prominent in the anna
teur theatrlc3lS that every winter form
so attractive feature in this old Kent
iSh town and was the center of a brill
liant coterie. Mrs. Lyddon. although to
all appearances happy wife. was des-
tined TO meet her fate in her husbands
step-hrothcr, whom Dr.. Lyddon brought
down from London one evening and in
troduced as a young medical student.
Charles LyddOn Was not long making a
favorable impression upon the Kentish
matron. He soon became regular Wis
ltor at the scmi-detached villa occupied
by the eider physician. Progressing
favOrably with the wife. Charles began
to make himself "Solid' with the bus
band, and by dint of much persuasion
brought the latter to agree to a sale of
his practice, possession 10 be given on
his death. insignificant and harmless
as this provision seemed to the doctor.
the agreement containing it proved
to be the unfortunate mans death
warrant. as no sooner was it signed
than his step-brother, with devilish
mallgnlty, began to plan the crime that
he has just succeeded in accomplishing.
The exceptionally healthy medical man
was SeIzed by mysterious illness.
which Charles pretended to thoroughly
understand. and consequently took full
charge of the treatment. When the
strong constitution Of the physician had
been completely broken down by the
powerful drugs administered to him
and the facts of his Wife'S falSehood and
his step-brother's treachery were re-
veaied to HIM, Charles locked himself in
the room with his victim and proceeded
TO perform the last act in the CHASTITY
tragedy. An emptied bottle of NOR
phlne IN an adjacent lumber room led
to the arrest of Charles Lyd6on. The
prisoner protests his innocence and de-
clareS that the evidence, which is al
most entirely circumstantial. is mis-
leading. He will be tried at the next
aSSlZeS.

Eight TrainloadS of Students
Have n High Time.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Dee. 21.-Train
Dispatcher John Carr, of the Housatonic
railroad, has just returned from State
Line, Mass, and tells an amusing story
III connection with the forwarding of
four Pullman coaches of Yale college
students to Chicago and points West.
AT State Line four Pullman coaches
from the Boston Il Albany road, filled
with girls. were Sidetrackcd. The girls
were from the Summaries near Boston,
Harrington and other points where there
are young ladies' finishing schools, all
on their way home for the HOLIDAYS.
After waiting until O'clock at night
the girls inquired the cause of the de-
tention,a and were told that their train was
to be coupled up with the special from
New Haven shortly due and filled with
students. Dispatcher Carr says the
girls gave a wild yell OF delight and
began singing and dancing. They were
aware of the approach of the students,
but the latter did not know that train
load of girls were waiting for them until
their train drew up alongside the SEM
mary special. Then continued Dis.
patcher Carr, you never did see such
work. The girls sung and waved their
handkerchiefs and the students tumbled
cut Of their train just too quick. The
porterS could not get the doors locked
and the students Swarmed into to SEM
mary coaches. They climbed over the
roof and into the windows, and when
both trains were coupled together the
girls and boys had distributed them
selves through the eight Pullman
coaches, all singing and in high state
of enjoyment. You could not tell which
was the Yale and which was the semin-
airy train. Everything was all mixed
up just like picnic" Dispatcher Carr
added: what nervy SwellS those stu
dents are, and yet the girls were not so

UnintentionaI Profanity.

Boston Advertiser.
Some one has been looking up the orr
gin of some of the peculiar white oaths
that people use, and the result is inter-
esting. The oath shy jimlni'' is not
classic i'll appearance, but 1t is clearly a
corruption of the Latin ''gemin," or
twins" as applied to the demi-gods,
Castor and Pollux. What does my lady
mean when she signs 10 dear?" She is
simply initiating madame, who says
'sAlOn dieu," with Gallo vivacity.
When the man of the world calculates
''The deucep' he imagines that he is
talking English. Oh, no. He is talk
ing Latin again, and evoking the devil,
designated in the word ''dusius." When
our rural friends gasp ''gosh!" with as
tonishment depicted on their counte-
nances, they are simply giving sibi-
liant ending to the otherwise hard
sounding name of the Deity. When the
gushing school girl twitterS Goodness
gracious" if she would think mo-
ment and reverse the words she would
never use them again lightly. A little
study of the true meaning of words
might save great deal of unintentiOnal
profanity.

speaking at Balfoyle, asked sup
posing ParnelI succeeded in eject
ing the fty-three McCarthyltes, to
what pledge or platform would their
successors be bound? Would they be
puppets depending upon the person
allly of one individual? 1t Parnell had
been actuated by purpose he could have
fulfilled his mission far more effectively
without dividing the country. He
(Healy) would not accept the proposition
that Ireland could find no political sal
walton save in Pope ParnelI the First. AT
a meeting in Cashel. Tipperary.~ to-day,
10000 persons were present. Resou-

He ridiculed the idea that Parnell had
obtained all the land legislation that
had been secured for Ireland. Such
legislation, he said, was due to the
league, which had been built up by the
present followers of Mccarthy, practi-
cally without ParnelPs help. The fact
that the Orangemen wished Parnell to
succeed ought to convince them of the
dangero of electing Mr.Scully. Mr.. Davitt

Marriage and Property.

London Truth
From every point of view think it ia
time that we got rid of ''witIl all my
worldly goods 1 thee endow." The
married women's property act, 1882, has
put 1t out of date. Under the common
law, this declaration of unlimited en-
dowment was proper enough. All the
wife's worldly goods passed to the hus-
band, and it was only fair that she
should enjoy theoretically reciprocal
rights i'll her husbands substance. But
the act has changed all that. Matri-
mony no longer affects the lady's rights
IN her property. She need not endow
her husband unless she likes; why.
then, should he endow her? The bust.
