timony that his detectives had OBJ
taired proof OF the existence OF nearly
$50 saloons running in violation OF
the excise law and that forty disor
derly houses flourish in the best res
idence quarters of this city. Police
Commissioners Martin, MacLean and
Shehan entered the ante-room of the
grand jury just before ii O'Clock.
Commissioner Martin said that the
commissioners had not been subpu.
naed, but that they had come volun.

A Woman's Good Name.

Many people who would recoil with
horror from cutting a human crea-
lures throat, which really does not
hurt very much and only lasts q
moment will murder a woman's good
name without rsmorse or commune
ton; land that hurts worse than death
for q Lifetime. 1t is 8 meaner crime
than murder, writes Robert ], Bur
dette in his department in the April
Ladies' Home Journal. We cry out
and rightly too, against the sensa.
tional and depraving habit of max.
ing heroes of robbers and cut-throats.
1t is horrible thing to do. And vet
1 have less of hatred and loathing for
the late Jesse James than 1 have for
some people who have never been
convicted of a capital CRIME, but
whose tongues we know, are worse
tnan any knife that ever severed a
human jugular.

PARIS, Nov 4.-Further details of the
engagements with the Dahomeyan forces
on Oct. 20 and 81 have been telegraphed
by Colonel Dodds. 1t appears from the
dispatch that the Dahomeyans were con-
centrated in force at Akas, and that the
fighting for the two days resulted in the
repulse of the natives with terrible loss.
The French loss during these two days
fighting was ten killed and seventy three
wounded, while the loss of the native
forces ran up into the thousands. This
terrible slaughter is attributed to the
deadly effects of the Lebel rife. On
Oct. 26, when reintorcements arrived,
the French column attacked and carried
the lines of entrenchment between Alas
and Kotopa. The following day they
followed up their success by capturing
a strongly Fortified position on the River
KOtO.

is the largest amount OF money ever Of
fered in any part of the world to do bat
Tie, Fitzsimmoas is undecided what
course be will take, His inability to
make UP his mind to accept or reject
the offer is due to request of President

A PLAYWRIGHT IN TROUBLE.
Henry Guy Carleton May be Put In
Jail for Contempt.

New York, Nov. 4.-There is more
trouble in store for Henry Guy Carleton.
1t is martial trouble, but this time it is
not Effie Shannon, the actress who was
divorced from him a month ago, but a
former wife, Helen S. Carleton. The
latter says she intends to have him pun
ished for contempt of court and sent to
Jail if possible. because he has failed to
pay her alimony as directed by the court.
Helen 5. Carleton was granted de-
cree of absolute divorce from the play
wright on March 1, 1889. She had been
married to him only few years, and by
the decree of the court Mr.. Carleton
was { rected to pay her alimony att the
rate of $50 q week, and he was forbidden
to marry again. Mr.. Carleton made
Effie Shannon his wife only few months
after the decree of the court was granted.
Carleton, it is charged, has been very
irregular in the payment of alimony to
his first wife, have paid her but SIG in
1891 and $3.50 during the present year.
He is in arrears now for something like
$4,000. Because f this fact and also
the fact that he married again, in viola
tion of the orders of the court, Lawyer
A. w. Gleason, on behalf of the wife,
moved yesterday, before Judge Ingra-
ham, that Mr. Carleton be punished for
contempt and sent to Jail.
Judge lngraham said in reply to re-
quest of Mr.. Cartons lawyer for fur
ther delay: "This is the old story. Men
will never obey the orders of the court.
They are always very pugnacious until
they get right here, when they are
very meek and lowly. He can have the
right to send in any papers to explain
why he should not go to jail. If he has
not paid the alimony as directed by the
court he must go to Jail. He must be
arrested if he don't pay, and then if he
wants to be relieved he must fight the
court. He can have twenty-four hours

LONDON, Nov. 4. - The signalman,
Holmes, who is held responsible for the
railway disaster at Thiersk, shows signs
of mental arrangement. Much sym
pathy is expressed for him. and there
are not few people who declare that
the station master is the one who is
really responsible for the wreck. Holmes
had passed Tuesday night at the bedside
of his dying child. After the death of
the child he asked the station master for
leave of absence, but his request was re-
fused and be was compelled to take his
place at the signals Physically worn
out by the fatigue of his sick bed vigils
and tired mentally. he fell asleep and
thus precipitated the wreck.
