EUROPEANS DISSATISFIED.
CALcrTA, Nov. 27.-Much indig-
nation Is expressed among Euro
peans throughout India at the
failure Of the government Of Madras
TO interfere with the ceremony Of
hookswinging, the particulars OF
which were recently cabled. Inves-
tigalion does not sustain the excuse
of the authorities that it was cas-
Of voluntary suffering, as the vic.
tim selected for the torture was
chosen by lot, aud would probably
have been discontinued for years,
the practice having been denounced,
If not actually prohib led by former
administration. The Unusual visi-
tation of famine, disease and other
misfUrtunes led to its revival. II
appears that the victim was moi
merely swung upon hooks. A knife
was first thrust through the muscles
of his back on one side and AN iron
hook pushed in. Then the same
was done on the other side. The
man was then swung by the hooks
to the end Of pole fifty feet long,
which was fastened to car in such
a way that the victim was elevated
in the air about forty feet. The car
was then drawn through the streets
amid the cries Of The people. All
this was done to propitiaie the god
dess of evil destinies and ii figure Of
the goddess was carried where she
would have full view Of the pro
ceedings. The victim stood the
torture stoically and when released
showed no signs offatal injury. For
some months to come he will be-
the recipient Of liberal gifts at the
hands of those for whose assumed
benefit be endured the torture.

A GRAIN BLOCKADE.

BUFFALO, n. ", Nov. 27-It is
estimated there are 100000 200
bushels of grain ailoat here, with
more coming In every day. The
storm has kept the elevators from
doing much work this week, and II
that were the worst of II few days
of good weather would see the car
goes out aud the boats would be on
their way. The elevators are almost
full now. The Erie City, Niagara,
Frontier, Terminal, Ontario, and
Exchange elevators ara either full or
50 near II that u single cargo would
block them, aud most of the other
active houses are not much better
oil. A single tally man reports that
he has seventy vessels set down on
his list, aud all are either here or
under way. This ought 10 be less
than half the amount already on
the hook, OF the elevators. Now,
how IL IL To Do handled no Que
knows. or course, the elevators are
not TO blame. IL Is the scarcity OF
cars that has caused the trouble
Had the roads b,en able To handle
the grain as they did month ago,
there would have be n no difficulty,
but the demand for ears In the
freight aud other trades has taken
all the roads had, The early closing
OF the canal, adds greatly To the
difficulty. We're the Erie canal 10

Frank Heibish, a machinist residing on jack
son street, Wilkesbarre. Pa, says q special to
the New York World, appeared before Alder
man Davidson this evening and had .
warrant issued for the arrest Of George Mahle.
ayoung man living near by, on = charge of try
ing to poison Heibishs wife. The statements
he made revealed most astonishing and un-
natural state Of affairs.
On Sunday evening quart Of ice cream was
sent to the Heibish house. Mrs. Heibish and
her little daughter and her neighbors ate
some and were Immediately taken very sick
The little girl was at the point of death for
some time and was saved only by the strenu-
GUS efforts Of Q physician. Last night large
cake was sent to the house. Mrs. Heibish
was suspicious and examined the cake.
Sprinkled over the cake she found q green
powder. She took the cake to Drs. Fell and
Roe, and they pronounced the stuff to be paris
green. An Investigation was made and it was
found. it is said that the cake and cream had
been sent by Mahle.
Up to six months ago, it is alleged, Mahle and
Mrs. Heibish were engaged in an intrigue. 1t
Was discovered by her husband, who had Mahle
arrested. Mrs. Heibish promised reformation
and pleaded for forgiveness, which was granted,
and the case against Mable was not pushed.
Since then, it is further alleged, Mahle has been
endeavoring to induce Mrs. HeibisL to resume
her former relations with him, but she has re-
fused to listen to him.
The warrant for Mshle's arrest was placed in
the hands of q constable. but up to late hour
tonight he had not been found.
