A Buffalo Benedict Thinks $1O,-
600 Is the Figure.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. "a decided
sensation was created in society and
business circles to-day by the announce
ment that papers had been filed in the
supreme court in a suit for $4,000 dam
ages brought by John f. Mclaughlin
against Edward C. Burkhar DIT, for GRIM
inal intimacy with, and alternating the
affections OF, the plaintiffs wife, Myra
Mclaughlin. The plaintiff was until
recently a postoffice clerk and Buffalo
manager of the Elmira Telegram, and
the defendant is member of the real
estate firm of Burkhardt Brothers, and
is quite wealthy. The complaint
charges that the defendant by force
violated the plaintiffs wife in Octo-
Der, 1887. and that by dint of threats
and lavish promises, he succeeded in
continuing the intimacy for period of
two years. Mrs. Mclaughlin has con-
fessed, and has made an affidavit to the
effect as stated above. A fresh element
of sensation was injected into the Nc
Laughlin-Burkhardt matter this after
noon by the announcement that Burk-
bardt and Miss Laura Schmidt were
married this morning at st. Louis Ger

left the city OH their wedding trip. Re-

Fillmore county Republicans are on

farmer from Lenora, man who has

the last of the week, and said, Judging from

county gave Hon. M. II. Dunnell almost half

AN ILLUSTRATION.

The argument urged in favor of
adding 100 per cent. to the duty on tin
plate is the home market theory
that has done such service. The pro-
Queer can sell his grains and meats to
feed men on this side of the water, in
stead of sending them over to Wales
and elsewhere. 1t is first-c, ass as a the
DRY, and has, for more than quarter of
a century. done splendid service. both
for the politicians and the classes that
had higher figures given Their goods; but
after twenty-five or thirty yeors it be-
comes little monotonOuS for the peo-
pie who are taxed to contribute to this
bonus with no returning advantage.
The farmer finds that he is still looking
across the water for chance to sell his
! surplus products, and the figures are
determined by that demand and not the
home market. 1t may be readily under
stood that the advantage to be dis
bursed to producers by aggrega-
lions of consumers must be largely
to those in the immediate vicinity. This
seems to be conclusive. The agricuit-
urai districts in the wake of these fos-
tered industries must be booming and
the country growing. The New York
Post has been gathering the statistics
to pad about this theory in the Connect
icut districts that have such conven-
lent home markets. The twelve lead
ing manufacturing eenters are taken.
They have all grown rapidly and are
prosperous. The three nearest rural
towns to each of them are compared in
population with the census of ten years
ago; but of this entire list of towns
there is but one that has not lost popu-
lation in the decade, and that has had
but trifling increase. That is. thirty
five out of thirty-six towns most
favored by the development of the
home market have fallen away, and
the average is ten per cent. There
could hardly be more favorable OPP
portunity for the home market theory.
Perhaps the Western farmer will see
IN it reason why he should pay tax to
build up tin factory at Pittsburg.

NAvvIEs RIPE FOR REVOLT.

The Kearsarge Ordered to Aspin-
wall to Protect American Inter-
eSts.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-Orders were
issued by the navy department to-day
for the United States steamer Kear-
sarge. now at New York, to proceed at
once to Aspinwall. 1t is supposed that
this.acton is based upon rumors of a
threatened railroad strike at that place.
Information to that effect has been re-
eeiyed at the state department from
Consul General AdamsOn. at Panama.
The latter said he heard the rum ors
through the consul at Aspinwall, and
that he had requested the Colombian
authorities to protect American inter
ests in the event of trouble. and had
been assured that it would be done.

VERMoNT,s ELECTION.

The HARRISON administration can't
derive much comfort from the Vermont
election. The loss to the Republicans
of from 1900 to $1,000 on the popular
vote, and proportionate gain by the
Democrats in members of the state leg
islature,is bad showing for the Repub-
licanS in New England state at time
when the MCKINLEY bill is on trial. 1t
is pretty fair test of what the farmers
of America think of the Ubiquitous
tariff measure. Vermont is less of a
manufacturing and mole Of an agricult-
ural community than any of the New
England states. 1t is populated chiefly
by the tillers of small farms, who have
enough to contend with IN the rigors of

Peculiar and Prolonged Sleep Of a
Swede Girl in Illinois.

HARVARD. ILL.,. Sept. 3.-On the farm
of Andrew Peacock, four miles north
west of Capron, young lady about
twenty years of age resides with her
brother. She came to this country
from Sweden about four weeks ago, and
shortly after her arrival her brother OBJ
served something peculiar in her &C
tons. Up to her arrival in America she
had been feeling well, but after staying
short time at her brothers. home she
imagined she was the object of persons
who were determined to do her personal
injury. All efforts to Danish these
thoughts from her mind were of no
avail. She then went to sleep. and
after she had slept the usual length of
time her brother tried to arouse her ana
in this he was likewise unsuccessful.
Medical aid was summoned and up to
the present time nothing has been ac-
complished toward arousing her. The
only thing that can be assigned for her
peculiar condition is that in coming
here at the time she did, which was
that terribly hot week, she must have
received a sunstroke.

THERE was something dropped with
big thud in Vermont. 1t was the Re-

hopes for getting popular approval of
the MCKINLEY bill. There was clear
majority of over 100000 in the United

Taking Vermont as criterion, the ma
jority will be something like 100000
this year, and by 1892 there will be a
motion to make it unanimous. And yet
Capt. SNYDER is indiscreet enough to
say that he is for the MCKINLEY bill.
