tition sets forth that the population, some
1000 In number, are living on what Is known
as the French shore, because they were as
sured that the complete and ahsolnta do
mipion of the hand and the right to colo

coast Is separated from the east by an inn
passabie wilderness 500 miles In extent, and
while the government OF ST. Johns exacts
the last cent of taxation from the people, 10
does not AFFORD protection 90 property
nor provide for the public services.
all the sympathies and business interests
of the people are with their neighbors In
caneda, only forty miles away, The two
sections of the island are commercially
separated, and the creation OF new prov
ince and Its incorporation into the domin-
ION of Canada, would, the petitioners al
lege, lead To the speedy and happy solution
of the French shore question.

KYASA, Ind, Dec. 6.--This town Is
greatly excited over an attempt to estab-
lish a saloon in spite OF the almost unani-
nous dissent of the people. A tough char
acter obtained county and state license,
prepared room for n saloon and ordered a
stock OF liquors, which arrived one day this
week and was unloaded ON the railroad
platform. where IL remained over night.
Early the next morning the women Of the
town congregated, armed with axes, hatch
ets and hammers, and marched In solemn
procession 10 the depot, surrounding the
stock of liquors. A prayer was offered and
the command Was given 20 destroy the ltq-
uors.. In ten minutes every barrel and keg
was demolished and the contents flowing
down the street. The site OF the town, con-
sisting OF fsfty acres, was donated by an
old gentleman, who has been dead thirty
years. upon the express condition that no
Intoxicating liquors should ever be sold

day afternoon the banks OF this city. repre-

Ethe board of county commissioners and set
mp vigorous kick against the unjust and
erroneous assessment levied against these

assessment. a. made by. Assessor y. g..

anf the stock OF the various banks, The
hankers objected against this, claiming 1t
~ be too high. Representatives of the
banks last August went before the city
xouncii with a proposition 20 pay an assess
naent OF IS per cent ON lhs capital stock
Nhich was 10 be euteref against the bank
presidents. This proposition was accepted
by the council. In entering the adjustment
fhe city auditor did not erase the original
asse sment, but wrote On the margin, equal
ixed on such and such page, thus referring
q the agreement. The county board and
tfeasurer construed the 66SS per cent.
agninst the stockholders as an assessment,
- we'll as the IS per cent. against the bank

Then the state eaualizlng board raised the
assessment rs per cent, making the total
assessment against each bank st.8sss
per cent. This was manifestly un-
inst and the banks Immediately announced
an Intention OF Hghting the matter.
Al the meeting yesterday County Attor-
nAs Bailey outlined proposition which was
fasorahly received by all concerned, which
wns to cross out the erroneous assessment
and settle upon some basis Of compromise
upon the legal assessment of 66sS per cent.

steadily increasing in force, with heavy
squalls and high seas, and the barometer
fell rapidly. Tho wind shifted 70 the south

was running into a cyclone, put the ship "a

GRoroN. 4. d., Dec. 6.--The little town OF
Gem, this county, was electrified yesterday
morning by the report that Otto GundersUn,
q farmer living eighteen miles southwest OF
Groton, had murdered his wife. On
investigation the body Of the
woman was found lying on It's back
In the snow half way between che
barn and the house with an ugly wound on
the head, made apparently by some blunt
instrument. There was NO witness TO the
murder and the only evidence as to the
killing was that OF the man himself. Ac-
cordIng 10 his statement his wife had gone
90 the barn after supper and he had fol-
lowed. While there an alteration arose
about an improper intimacy between her
and an Aberdeen man, during her hus-
bands absence at Yankton several years
ago. From words they came 10 blows and
he lnalIy seized shovel and hit her
blow on the head that caused her death.
He then returned 20 the house, leaving the
body lying out In the snow all night His
brother discovering these facts In she
morning. the sheriff was telegraphed and
mo attempt to escape. lie was brought TO
Groson aud taken thence 10 Aberdeen for
safe keeping. The cause of the murder
seems 20 have been Jealousy ON the part Of
the husband. The murdered woman was a
very handsome one about 30 years OF age.
Two children of 8 and 10 years slept In the
house peacefully during the enactment OF

Guilty Gladstone remains firm in his de-
termination TO I'm no way recognize Parnell,
his position being emphasized in letter In
which he offers 10 conduct negotiations
with new Irish leader on footing OF con-
fidence equal 20 that which he once afforded
Parnell. The reading was greeted with
cheers by the section of the party opposing
Parnell. and by ironical cries from his sup
porters. A stormy debate followed. Barry,
Sexton and Healy made a determined
attempt To bring about Anal settlement.
They insisted that there be an Immediate
division of the members on the retirement
OF Parnell. Finally sexton gave Parnall
his uItimatum. TO the effect that IL the de-
cision was delayed by Parnell until after
O'Clock this evening the majority would
hold u meeting OF their own and depose
him. A scene OF great excitement followed.
At 2s45 a recess was taken for half an hour.
On resumption OF the meeting Abraham
moved that Parnell vacate the chairman

and asked that the motion be put, where.

members, left the room.
