ABDUCTED BY HIS WIFE.
The Divorced Wife Eidnaps Her Oldest
Child from Convent.

PARIS, November 4.-As soon as the
Tribunal of the Seine delivered it's de-
cision dismissing Mrs. Deacon's suit
for divorce and ordering that the
eldest child, then in a convent, be de-
livered up to Mr.. Deacon, Mrs. Dea-
con FASTENED secretly to the convent
of Our Lady of the Assumption in the
department of the Marne.
When Mrs. Deacon arrived the news
OF the courts decision was unknown
at the convent and Mrs. Deacon was
admitted as usual.
She asked and got leave to take the
elder of the children to ride, and after
kissing the younger tenderly she
walked with the former to the car
riage. At first she drove slowly, but
increased her speed as the convent
and the adjoining group of houses dis
appeared from view. She did not re-
turn.
Mr.. Deacon droveu up to the convent
shortly after his wife had gone. He
was amazed and maddened when he
learned the situation, but no more
amazed than the lady superior when
she learned the strategy of his wife.
Mr.. Deacon at once appealed to the
police, who readily joined him in at.
tempting to overtake his wife. II
seems impossible that she could es
cape from France, as the police every
where have been warned to be on the
lookout and to arrest her and tn,
child wherever found. Deacon is de
! termined to get possession of the child

SPECULATIVE POLITICIANS.
Forecast of the Possible Makeup of Cleve-
lands Cabinet.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE result ol
the election being partially settled
here politicians are turning their at
tention to the possible makeup oi
President Cleveland's cabinet. Many
are also greatly interested, now that
the New York state legislature is
known to be Democratic on joint bal
lot, in the probable successor of United
States Senator Hiscock, whose term
expires March 4 next. 1t is said that
Governor Flower is ambitious to be
the senator's successor, and that
Sheehan wants to succeed to the
governors office. Democratic poll
ticians generally agree that Governor
Flower will be sent to the senate if he
so desires, and Lieut.. Governor Shee-
han will thus become governor for the
unexpired term.
The cabinet situation as figured out
by politicians today asfollows: Secre-
tary OF state, Thomas +. Baird, Della
ware; secretary of the treasury, John
l.. Mitchell or eX-PoStmaSter-Gener
w. +. Villas, of Wisconsin; secretary
of the navy, VIM. c. Whitney, of New
York; secretary of war, w. b. Frank
lin, of New Hampshire; secretary OF
interior, Isaac p. Gray, OF Indiana;
attorney general, VIM. l.. Wilson, OF
West Virginia, or Congressman Cul-
bertson of Texas; postmaster-general
Don Nj. Dickinson, OF Michigan.

From Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 11.-At mid
night the Republican state committee
completed their table OF pluralities
with all the counties heard from Off
cially, with the exception of four, and
these are estimated. Some correc-
tions were received at late hour
from Hamilton and Cayuhoga
counties, which are among those not
recently reported. These reduced the
plurality OF Tayor rep for secretary
of state to 767; and the table shows
Harrison electors to have been elected
by 7S7 plurality. The committee,
however, concede the probable elec-
rion of Seward, the elector who heads
the Cleveland list, owing to bunglinp
on the part of many voters, who
placed mark opposite the name ol
the first elector and the others were
not counted.
The Democratic committee claims
the election of electors Seward, Cur
tin, and possibly Others.

Fertile Alaska.

The nature of the whole land can be
-oughly divided into three conditions,
writes E. J. Glave in the Century
Snow and ice fields bury the coast
range and choke up every hollow; to
the immediate north the valleys are
rocky and barren, but the vast inter
ior beyond is richly clothed in luxuri-
ant vegetation. Scientific authorities
theoretically mapped out giant ice
fields as spreading over the entire land
from the Fairweather and Mount St.
Elias ranges north almost to the val
ley of the Yukon.
Colossal heights mantied in never
melting SHOWS tower thousands OBJECT
in the air. but within the shadow OF
these mighty uplands, in the sheltered
hollows beneath, lie immense valleys
carpeted In richest grasses, and grace
fully tinted with wild flowers. Here
in the summer a genial cline is found,
where Strawberries and other wild
fruits ripen to luxuriance, where there
are four and a half months ofsummer
and seven and half of winter. In
June and July the sun is lost
below the horizon only for
few hours, and the temperature,
though chilly at night, has an average
OF sixty-five degrees in the daytime.

Gathered at table in a snug corner
OF Chicago hotel were half a score of

newer wonders by and by to be seen
when the fair shall be in full blast. 1t
is just as impossible for a Chicago man
to avoid superlatives as it is for true
disciple of Emerson to use them, so by
degrees the men from less favored
communities were informed in turn
that Chicago is the biggest

was thirty miles from the settlement in
Bedford county, and when. night Came
on he resolved to take the woods for it

Indians would watch the road. He was

were bleeding The wolves followed
