Knocked Down by u Woman.

BIRMINGHAM, Conn, Aug. S.-Mrs.
Patrick McGinnesS was sitting at her
window last evening when Robert Cook
and Albert Slye, two well-known ath-
letes, came along and began guying her.
There is nothing frail about Mrs. Nc
Ginness, and she ran out and knocked
Slye down. Cook didn't wait for his
turn, but made good time down the
street, with Slye just behind, and Mrs.
McGinness at their heels. They lodged
into convenient hallway and held the
door against the irate Amazon until
they were finally rescued by friends.
Mrs. McGinnesS declares that she will
thrash them both on sight.

CHAPTER *.


Mrs Belmond's reception was the most
elegant affair which Isabel had ever at
tended, and she felt almost lost in the crush
Of splendid toilets and bewildering adorn-
meuts; the spacious rooms were beautiful
" decorated, and on every hand was
lavish display of wealth and luxurious taste.
Mrs. Falconer was looking her best, to
her own satisfaction as well as her hus-
bands, who had looked at her with salts
fed air as she appeared before him.
She had chosen the lavender gray in q
combination of plain and brocaded velvet,
and it was very becoming to her clear com
plexion, and Nine Morand had outdoue her
self in the tasteful manner in which 1t was
made A handsome set of diamonds gave q
finishing touch of brilliancy to its some
what quiet effect, and the diamond locket
had been reburnished by her jeweler, and
hung conspicuously about her neck. She
had au object in this beyond display; an
ever-present hope that it might yet lead to
the discovery of her family.
She was listening with rapt attention to
the performance Of skilled pianist, when
upon lifting her eyes she observed gentle
man watching her intently; he was an elder
" man, tall aud with q distinguished mill
tary bearing, and noting that his gaze was
observed, he turned away and began speak
ing to another gentleman.
He was evidently person Of note among
the guests, for wherever he went there was
marked attention paid him, as Isabel noticed
cuuously, after having her attention drawn
by the fixed look with which he had re-
garded her.
Supper was over and she, with her friend
Mrs Dwight. had strolled into the conserva,
tory to admire Mrs. Belmond's large and
rare collection of plants. She stood by q
wonderful specimen OF the lily tribe, its
heavy pendulous blossoms filing the all
with rarely sweet perfume, when she felt
lighttouch upon her arm, and Mrs. Colcne
De Longs familiar voice said. slowly
Mrs Falconer, allow me to present to you
Major Darlington, of Richmond"
She started and looked up; the tall gen
tleclan who had watched her by the piano
stood By her side, holding out his hand tc
her, with his eyes fixed, not upon her, bu,
upon the locket which she wore.
She turned pale, as momentary deathly
faintness seized her at hearing the name sc
familiar to her, but she mastered her emo
ton and gave him her hand, managing tc
speak few words Of fconventioualgr greeting

Executive Order to the
Country.
Members Of the Cabinet EX-
press Their Appreciation
OF Gen. Sherman.
En- Ideal Soldier Sharing the
Esprit du Corps Of the
Army.
In His Death the World Loses
the First Of Its Military
Men.

W WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE presi-
dent had just finished his lunch and
was walking up stairs to his Office when
the Associated Press bulletin announc-
ing tile death of Gen. Sherman reached
the y Shite house. The telegraph opera
tor handed the dispatch to Private
Secretary Halford, who fastened to in
form the president, and met him on the
stairway. The president was very much
moved at the intelligence, as he and
Gen. Sherman had been near and dear
friends for many years. The president
served under Gen. Sherman in his
famous march to the sea, and the
friendship begun at that time has been
strengthened by their close association
ever since. Gen. Sherman never
visited Indianapolis while Gen. Har-
rison was there without spen ding
many hours in his society, and even
greater intimacy has existed between
them since the presidents election.
The last time they were together was
Jan. q, when Gen. Sherman called at
the White house III company with Gen.
Schofeld. In the words of Mr.. Halford,
''the president had the greatest love
and admiration for Gen. Sherman, and
is sorely grieved at his death" A few
minutes after reading the press bulle-
tin the president received a telegram
from Senator Sherman announcing his
brothers death. He therefore sent for
Grant, who is acting secretary Of war,
and Maj. Gen. Schofeld, and gave in
structions for full military honorS for
the dead soldier and made several sug
gestiOns in regard to the characters of
the general orders announcing Gen.
Sherman'S death to the army. He also
prepared message to congress on the
same subject and issued the following
executive order:
1t is my painful duty to announce to
the country that Gen. William Tecum-
san Sherman died this day at | 80 p. M,
at his residence in the city of New York.
The secretary of war will cause the
highest military honors to be paid to the
memory of this distinguished officer.
The national flag will be f0ated at half
imast over all public buildings until after
the burial; and the public business will
be suspended in the executive depart
ments at the city of Washington, and
in the city where the interment takes
on the day of the funeral, and in all
places where public expression is given
to the national sorrow, during such
hour as will enable every officer and
employees to participate therein with
their fellow-citizens.

The president also sent telegram OF
coincidence to the family, in which he
suggested that the body be brought to
Washington on its way to st. Louis, and
that it lie in state in the rotunda of the
capitol for at least one day.

The proposed amendment to the state
constitution passed the senate by the
required number. 16 to 15, and was
clinched with the usual reconsideration
motion. Those voting for resubmisslon
were Messrs. Bidlake, Brynjolfson,

on the Democratic side; and Messrs.
Bisbee, Cashel, Fuller, Haggarh La
Moure, Little, Lowry, McGilliveray,

Finger and Kinter, Democrats, and
twelve Republicans voted against re-
submission. The minority endeavored
to postpone the vote by parliamentary
tactics, but the high license members
voted solid on every proposition, even to
overruling the decision of the chair. The

They claimed two majority, but adj
united that they couldn't name their

vigorous one, in which it is believed not
a great sum of money bas been used.
While the liquor men are happy, still
they feel that it Is only half victory, as
it will be impossible to secure strength
enough to take the Objectionable feat
ures out of the present prohibitory law,

RANSOM POST.
Gen. Sherman Would Never Desert
Its Honorable Ranks.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-The announce
ment of Gen. Sherman's death caused
the deepest sorrow among his thousands
of friends in this city. Although his
death was expected, the hopes of his
comrades had been buOyed by the en-
couraging advices received up to late
hour last night, and they, at least, be-
Iieved that he would be spared while
longer. Ransom post, OF which Gen.
Sherman was the first commander, feels
the loss more probably than any
in the country. How many times
was the general asked to be-
come an active member of other
equally if not more prominent
posts? 1t is expected that the funeral
arrangements will be to certain ex-
tent made by Ransom post, as Gen.
Sherman expressly desired to be laid at
rest by his old comrades. Commander
l.. 3. Ripley sent the following tele-
gram to p. L. Sherman this afternoon:
'sIn compliance with the wishes Of Gen.
Sherman, expressed in his letter to Ransom

monies here. and Will send 10 New YORK an

MRS. LAIRD's TRAGIC DEATH.
Pathetic Letters Read to the Cor
Oner's Jury.


Special to the Globe
WINoNA, Mimi, Feb. 1.-THE sud
den and tragic death of Mrs. Will Hays
Laird still remains profound mystery.
Coroner Stewart was summoned and
held an inquest. The jurors were: II.
&. Thurman, Harry Friday, Frank
Church, Alex Muir, Charles Simon and
AdoIph BaeurIen. The first witness
examined was the husband of the de-
ceased, who stated the same facts as
contained in his statement heretofore
published. DR.. Pierce, the family phys
ician, testified that when he was first
summoned he thought the body showed
signs of life, but upon investigation,
found there were none. Willard
Pett, druggist, testified that he ana
lvZed the contents of the cup i'll
which was the remainder Of what the
deceased had taken, and it was hydrate
of chloral. Death must have followed
very closely after the taking. Two
letters and one affidavit which deceased
had left. were read to the jury. One
letter was addressed to her husband,
and the other to her sister at Kingston,
Pa. To her husband she stated she had
committed the act voluntarily. The let
ter was of a most pathetic character,
and the jury were deeply moved at the
reading OF its contents. In this letter
she expressly exOnerated her husband
and his family from all completely or
blame in connection with the tragic act
which ended her life. The letter
to her sister explained that she
was very melancholy; that she was
tired of her troubles, and wished
to end her life. The affidavit referred
to, and which is reported to contain
much matter of a sensational nature,
has so far been entirely withheld from
the public, but was read to tNe coroners
jury. There was considerable other
matter in the letters she left, but this
is for the present suppressed. She ex-
pressed the wish in her husbands let
ter that when she was dead she be at
tired i'll her wedding robes, and this was
done. The jury viewed the remains Of
the deceased, and returned verdict
that she came to her death by poison
administered by her own hand. The re-
mains were taken East on an evening
train, where the funeral will occur at
her home and birthplace, Kingston,
next Monday.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
A Profound Student and in
Nothing an ImitatOr.

!. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE presi-
dent this afternoon sent the following:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: The death of William Te-
cumseh Sherman, which took place to-
day at his residence in the city
of New York at 80 o'clock p. M, is an
event that will bring sorrow to the
heart of every patriotic citizen. No
living American was so loved and ven
Grated as he. To look upon his face, to
of country intensified. He served his
country, not for fame, not out of sense
of professional duty, but for love of the
flag and of the beneficcnt civil institu-
tionS of which it was the emblem.
He was an ideal soldier, and shared to
the fullest the esprit du corps of the
army, but he cherished the civil insti-
tutions organized under the constitu
ton, and was only soldier that these
might be perpetuated in undiminished
usefulness and honor. He was in moth
ing an Imitator. A profound student Of
military s@ence and precedent, he
drew from them principles and sugges-
tons, and SO adapted them to novel con-
ditions that his campaigns will con-
tinue to be the profitable study of the
military profession throughout the
world. HisAgenial nature made him
comrade to every soldier of the
great Union army. No presence
was so welcome and inspiring at
the camp fire or commandery as his.
His career was complete; his honors
were full. He had received from the
government the highest rank known to
Four military establishment and from the
people unstnted gratitude and love.
No word Of nline can add to his fame.
His death has followed in startling
auickness that of the admiral of
the navy. and it is sad and
notable incident that when the depart
iment under which he served shall have
put on the usual emblems of mourning
four of the eight executive departments
will be simultaneously draped i'll black,
and one other has but to-day removed
the Grape from its walls.
