answer questions asked by the board.

Evansville bank, who refused to testify
concerning deposits in the bank, WAS
sent to jail, but released on habeas cor

the case and decided that the clause in

LONDON, Nov. Trial of q suit for
damages for SANDER brought by Mrs.
Leader, wife of Lieut.. Leader. of the
British army, against Mrs. Smythe. wife
Of Major Gen. Gibbons Smythe, wa, begun
in the Queens bench division of Her
Majesty's high court today. Many promi.
nent society ladies were present. Mr..
Marion Wilson said the defense was that
the alleged slanderous words spoken were
true in substance and fact.
Mr.: Lockwood appeared for Mrs. Leader.
He held that the issue had become more
serious in view of the fact that Gen
and Mrs. Smythe justified the SLAM
der. He added that the charge
against Mrs. Leader was first made by Mrs
Smythe in the shop of Mr.. Dibdin be-
tween October and November, 1891. When
brooch was shown her she said il was
her property and had been stolen by Mrs.
Leader while the latter was visiting her

The Sale Of Ormonds Probable.

LONDON, Nov. Tho fact that James
Keene some months ago offered Senior
Bocan 100000 for Ormonde only to have it
refused, lends color to the rumor that a
much higher sum was demanded.
The recent defeat of Ormond's grandson
by Angelica initiated against the
value of the sire and heightened the nego-
tiations, but the good display made later
by the unnamed grandson of Ormonde
greatly removed the bad impression. It
was understood that the sale had about
been concluded. Charles Reed, of Ten
nessee. owner of the Fairview stud. had
been trying to buy the great stallion.
but he was blocked by San
Francisco horsemen who had obtained
the refusal of the horse some time preyI-
ously. The latter's agent here had been
given free hand and unlimited money in
the negotiations. and has been conductine
them by frequent cablegrams between
London and Buenos Ayres.

A Large steamer Probably Lost on Lake

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. la thoughtless
act cost one life, much suffering to two
men and destroyed $4,000 worth of prop
erty this evening at Point Breeze. The
Schuylkill river at this point is always
covered with scum from the adjacent
oil works. This evening William
Miller. Albert Krunbach and Warren Hill
started for Point Breeze in rowboat
across the river. Some one lighted pipe
and carelessly tossed the burning match
into the river. As the match fell in the
water flames shot alongside the skift, and
almost instantly the surface around
the boat was blazing. The men,
realizing that the boat would be
quickly consumed, plunged into the
burning fluid around them and tried to
swim ashore. The tire spread more rap
idly than they could swim, and they found
they were being roasted alive. Hill sank
beneath the surface and was seen no more.
His two companions, by repeatedly
diving and swimming beneath the surface,
succeeded in reaching the shore. Both
men were horribly burned about the
shoulders, head, face and arms. and their
condition is critical. The fire in the
meantime had spread down the river, and
the wrecking steamer Maryland was dam
aged to the extent OF $4,000.

ton was adopted reciting amaze
ment and sorrow. and recording a
united protest that the first meeting
held within its walls should be of allies of

principles regarding the liquor traffic are
utterly opposed to the spirit and purpose
of the organization. The explanation which
was offered that tho hall was not vet under
control OF the order was accepted with re-
joicing. Reports Of work among the COL
ored people, coffee houses and scientific
cookery followed. The evening session
was occupied by the reading of reports
from state presidents.
