BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 5.-The little
village Of Clarence, this county, is alive
with excitement over a case of inhu-
manity and brutality, resulting in the
death of the victim. Three and half
miles from the village lives Joseph Eek
hart, a well to do farmer, worth at least
$4,000. Ecllhart and his wife were at
work in the hay fields. Mrs. Eckhart
was on top of "a hay stack when she lost
her footing and fell and broke her leg.
Some say her husband pushed her off.
She was left in the woodshed by her
husband all night and in the morning
removed to the house, and remained
without medical attendance three DAYS
when she died from the shock and ex-
haustion. Neighbors say that Eclxhart
has been habitnally cruel to his wife.
and has abused her III II aterrible manner.
Eckhart says he did not strike or mall
treat his wife after she fell, as alleged,
but does not deny the charges Of neg
lsct Eckhart will likely be arrested.
He is under surveillance.

A CLEVER CHINESE TRICK.
Shrew S,,hemes of Chicago Ceics-
tials TO Evade the Law.

6hrcw S,,hemes of Chicago Ceics-
tials TO Evade the Law.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The treasury off,
cials here have discovered what they be-
heve to be a new and clever trick by
Chinaman to evade the Chinese exclu-
sion laws. They received information
that seven Cinnamon were stopped on
the northwestern border last Wednesday
as they were about toenter this country.
They had certificates signed by citizens
of Chicago ayerring that they were Chi
cago merchants.
The officers also have advices from
Montreal that twenty-six of these alleged
merchants have left there for this city,
each with certificate. Each certih-
cate bears photograph of the holder,
and these photographs are secured in
the certificate by the seal of the United
States commissioner here. 1t is pre-
sumed these certificates were obtained
here and sent on to China.
This could easily be done, as the ap-
plication for a certificate need not be
made by the person intending to return
to America. Special Agent Crowley
says it has been discovered that schools
have been established in China whers
intending emigrants are taught min
utely the names of the streets, the loca-
ton of houses, the furnishing of rooms,
ETC., in San Francisco and other cities,
so that when they arrive here under tho
gulse of returning merchants they can
describe perfectly the location and ap-
pearance of the alleged quarters for
merly occupied.

DUBLIN, Aug. 5.-Further action was
taken in the bankruptcy court here in
the case of Mr.. William O'Brien, against
whom proceedings to adjudge him a
bankrupt were taken while he was serv-
ing two concurrent sentences of six
months each under the crimes act. The
basis of the action was the failure Of
Mr.. o'Brien to pay the costs of the ac-
tion for libel brought by him against
Lord Salisbury at the Manchester as
sizes in July, 1889. The registrar in
bankruptcy has issued an order grant
ing Mr., O'Brien further extension OF
three days in which to show cause why
a decree in bankruptcy against him
should not be issued Mr.. O'Brien will
fight the matter to the bitter end, as
Should decree be issued declaring him
a bankrupt he would be debarred from
sitting as member Of the house OF
commons
