"All the Democrats have seen lately are in
favor of uniting with the Alliance on fair
terms. 1t seems likely that Mr. Owen will be
the nominee of the farmers and he is an ex-

1t cannot be that Ia grippe is a heightened
disease that only condescends to attack emf
nent personages. And yet so far in its 1881
ravages Ia grippe appears to have found its
victims only among celebrities. At least,
such is the testimony of the daily papers.
and yet it will hardly be denied that more
plain John Smiths have suffered from la
grippe in this country than have any other

noticed that two were elderly women and the
other was closely veiled. AS he attempted to
collect their fares one Of the elderly women handed
the younger one a can containing vitriol and
said "Now's your time Give it to himln
The younger woman then threw the vftriol
all over him, burning his face, neck and hands
severely. The girl was also badly burned
through her clothing. She was arrested by Police
Officer Sweeney and was locked up in the Stagg-
ST. police station in pitiable condition. On
her were found a vial containing laudanum and
letter addressed TO her mother, saying she did
not desire to live. She said her name was Mamie
Roach, nineteen years Of age, OF No. 81 Mauier-
St. and she declared that Gerhardt had deceived
and drugged her last Friday night, and her mother,
who had handed her the can Of vitriol, had made
her do it.
Gerhardt had his burns dressed at n drug store
IN union-ave., and during his agony said he was
a married man with three children, living at No.
s34 Flushing-ave. He had taken the girl out on
Friday night, but with her full consent. She, it
is said, has been constant patron of the merry
go-round" In Union.ave and says she was en-
gagged TO an estimable young man named James
Preston. She met Gerhardt only o few days ago
and was persuaded by him to accompany him on
Friday night TO the Central Hotel at East New

at Madrid contains the announcement by the Minister
Of State that all the commercial treaties which Spain
has With European Governments have already been
denounced and that the last Of them will cease 10

"The Mail' charges that the best and cheapest
design for the harbor protection works was cast aside

contain possibilities enough for Government con,

termined upon and tenders had been advertised for

also that the Contractors have been allowed to put
