TOLD HER TO SHOOT.
\ Prominent Citizens Breaking Away
from Ills Mistress Causes Her Suicide.

NASHVILLE, January l2.-Cecil Hub
bell, alias uJohnson, mistress of the no.
toriouS resort on North High street,
committed suicide about Q o'clock this
morning. The woman was a beautiful
blonde about IS years of age and very
popular. Her resort was mainly patron
lied by those of fashionable young men
who frequent such circles. She was
born and raised in Nashville, and was a
niece Of William Norman, the we'll
known gambler, who was shot and killed
by Mel Walker, two years ago.
From evidence before the COr0ners
jury this morning It was learned that
at the time of her death the woman was
In her room with Fred II. Cummins,
who had been visiting her for some time
past Mr.. Cummins is one OF the most
prominent young men in the city, being
Il director in the Capital City Bank, and
Il married man. His friends have en-
deavored to have him break off with the
woman, and this morning he went TO
the place To break oil with her. After
stating his business he requested that
she give him Il photograph of himself
that was IN ncr possession. nc Woulah
returned the photograph, when Cum
Minis remarked:
"As all is over between us, | might as
well tear this up."
"If you do I'll kill you and myself"
said the woman.
Cummins tore the picture in two, and
told her TO shoot. She ran to the man
tel, aud, seizing Cummins' pistol, turned
the muzzle to her head and fired, fall
Ing to the floor bleeding corpse.
Cummns called for assistance, and as
several men entered he attempted TO Sc
cure the revolver but was prevented.
He seemed TO be frantic and implored
that the weapon be given him that he
might end his life.
The man who had secured il, how
ever, declined to give it up. There
were number of prominent men iii the
house. The police We're notified and
Mr.. Cummins remained at one of the
hotels until the meeting OF the Coron-
er'S jury at 10 o'clock this morning
when, after a two hours session Il ver-
dict OF death from pistol shot inflicted
by herself was returned.

scorLAND's GREAT STRIKE.
Another Week Opens With No Change
In the situation.

GLASGOW, January 12.-Another
week of the railroad strike has COM
menced, with no material change in the
situation.
During the past few days there have
been several minor accidents on the
railroads, and though they do not seem
TO be due to the ineXperience OF the
new hands employed in place of the
strikers, the latter make capital out Of
them.
The Caledonian railroad is now fully
manned with new men. The centers OF
the disatfection are at Edinburgh, Perth,
Aberdeen. Stirling and aud Dundee. AT
Motherwell, Hamilton and Polmadie,
where the men have been slowly rein
stated upon accepting the terms of rail-
road companies, the strikers are giving
the greatest trouble. At Motherwell a
few of the new hands have deserted the
railroad company and are now counted
i'm the ranks of the strikers. The rail-
road officials intend, it is announced to-
dav. To make temporary reduction OF
the passenger service, so as TO enable
them to overtake the goods service.
The position Of the North British rail-
road is diScOuraging, and it seems that
this road will lose great portion of its
traffic and that the Caledonian road Will
be a gamer by il.

NEAR THE AGENCY.
HOSrILRS ARE NOW ENCANPED TWO NILES
FROM PINE RIDGE.
They Will Send Delegation Of Chiefs to Have a
Farley With General Niles fC-Day-Want
TO Lay Their Grievances Before
the Great Father.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, ). d., January
l2.-The large number OF hostiles have
at length arrived within gunshot OF the
pickets. The report was heard with rl-
pidity through the camp of the Indians
near the campfire. Immediately hun
dreds of squaws and children gathered
in the vicinity of headquarters, whence
Il view of the bluffs beyond which the
hostiles were stationed could be OBJ
tanned. They waited patiently, how
ever, for their brothers, lovers and hus-
bands to appear, but as evening drew
on, and their patience was not reward
ed, they gradually retired TO their
tepees. To-day Col. Henry, who was
expected with his four troops Of the
Ninth Cavalry To reach the Agency, in
company with Col. Wheaton and his
command, was ordered TO White
Clay to follow ts.e neighborhood
of Gen. Brookes, whose headquarters
are established with Col. Sanford's COM
mand. The latter is now within few
miles Of the Indians, and tomorrow will
press them more closely, unless, In the
meantime, they shall have gone into
camp within the Agency. At this writ
ing there is no certainty as to what the
Indians will do. Gen. Miles, himself,
is in doubt as TO what TO expect of them.
They may, he says, get to within gun
shot Of the Agency and then break
away to the camp which they have just
abandoned. Fears of all kinds of pun
ishment seem to have taken possession
of them, and 1t is generally understood
that one injudiciOus act on the part OF
the soldiers, or the mad act OF some i'm
placable hostile would precipitate a
fight, the consequences of which may
be scarcely imagined.

It's Really PadlewslSi.

MADRID, January 12.-According To
dispatches received from Olot, the man
arrested on suspicion OF being the muir
derer OF Gen. Seliverstoil, is really
Padewski. The prisoner is said to cor
respond exactly with the description of
the murderer given out by the French
detectives. 1t is also said that the man
arrested admits that he committed the
murder, adding that it was for ''polit-
ical object" He says that he failed in
his plan to embark for the United States
at Barcelona. PadlewSki declares that
the killing OF Gen. Seliverstoff was not
a crime, but Il political act. He is gem
tie and refined in manner, and appears
to have been imeiled to commit the
crime with which he is charged by
patriotic exaltaton and revolutionary
sentiment combined.

a Mixed Reception.

DUBLIN, January l2.-Messrs. Timo-
thy Healy, Arthur 0'Connor and Kenny
arrived Saturday night at Nenagh, Tip
perary county. Their reception in the
town was of a mixed character. The
Parnellites were out in force and they
hooted vigorously at Mr.. Healy and his
companions, II is said that Healy was
struck on the head with stick, but re-
ceived only a slight Injury. Speaking
yesterday, Mr.. Healy complained that
all the sewage of Parnellism was poured
out upon him because he insisted upon
the question being threshed on the orig
inal cause of the demand for Parnells
retirement. Mr.. Parnell, he said, was
playing Mr.. Chambcrlain's game in Linz
erick by declaring that Mr.. Gladstone
would give nothing that would satisfy
ireland. The meeting was much dis
turbed by the Parnclltes in the crowd.
