Taken to a Higher Court.

COLUMBUS, Feb. 20.-A petition in
error to the circuit court of Hamilton
county, in the case of Henry Steuve
against the Grand Lodge of Ohio, An
cient Order of United Worlmen, and
A. Roever, grand recorder, has been
filed in the supreme court. Mr.. Steuve,
for himself and other members of Damon
lodge, at Cincinnati, brought suit to en-
join the Grand Lodge from dividing the
state into districts Nos. / and 2, the
former comprising Hamilton county and
the latter the remainder of the state.
His claim was that the mortality in
Hamilton county was so much greater
than in the other district that an injus-
tice is done by the division. The maxi
mum assessment in Hamilton county is
$50 a year and in the other districts $2s,
and his suit was to enjoin, as a test case,
the collection of $3.50, the assessment
for July, 1889, in district No /, which
would be but $3.50 in district No. 2.
Senator Steuve has so far failed to ac-
complish his purpose, the common pleas
and circuit courts having decided against
him

Quite Unlike a Fish Story.

When a man begins to tell a story about
fish he is at once labeled as a-well, as a
story teller. This is not a fish story, but
chicken story that comes all the way
from Colorado. A chicken fancier was
troubled exceedingly by the propensity of
his brood to scratch up his garden, so he
set to work TO solve the problem of pre-
vention. After elaborate experiment he
succeeded in crossing breed Of long
legged brahmas with short legged ban
tams in such way thai the chickens had
one long leg and one short one. When
they attempted to scratch they lost their
balance and fell over, which, after a few
trials, was sufficient TO show that scratch
ing was impossible, and they gave it up

FRENCH TRAGEDY.
DEAcoNs STORY OF THE sENsA-
TloNAL MURDER AT CANNES.

The American Colony Greatly Excited
over the Scandal, the Outcome of which
They Regard as Quite the Proper Thing.
The French Cabinet Crisis.
CANNES, France, Feb. 20.-The shoot
ing of M. Abeille by Mr.. Deacon, the
American gentleman who discovered
that the Frenchmen was carrying on q
liaison with Mrs. Deacon, continues to
be the absorbing topic of conversation
among the large American colony here,
and though there are many expressions
of regret that Mrs. Deacon should have
brought such disgrace upon herself and
her family. the concensus of opinion is
that Mr.. Deacon is deserving of all sym
pathy. The whole Riviera is discuss
ing the case, and from the information
that reaches here it can readily be
judged that Mr.. Deacon's action in
shooting NJ. Abeille meets with ge- eral
commendation.
How IL All Happened.
Mr.. Deacon, who surrendered to the
police Immediately after the shooting,
was examined by the magistrate in
charge of the cases. Mr.. Deacon was
calm and collected, and gave a very sue
cinct account of the incidents that led
up to the killing of Abeille. In response
to the magistrates questions Mr.. Deacon
said that he arrived at the Hotel Splen-
dide shortly after midnight. As he en-
tered the corridor he saw light shining
through the space under the door of his
wife's room. Though there was nothing
in this of itself to cause him to suspect
that man was in his wife's company, it
did for some unexplainable reason re-
awaken his suspicion that his wife was
unfaithful to him.
How His Suspicious Became Certainty.
Mr.. Deacon's suspicious regarding his
wife had been aroused some months
prior to that by her conduct, but he had
no tangible proof that she was engaged
in wrong doing. When he saw the light
under her door, however, his suspicious
became certainty, and he determined to
at once confirm his worst belief. He
summoned the clerk of the hotel, and in
his company broke in the door of the
room. He saw Abeille hiding behind
an arm chair and fired three shots at
him. Mr.. Deacon added that it was not
his intention to kill the man, but only to
wound him.
Mr.. Deacon asked the magistrate to
admit him to bail. The magistrate de-
clined to do so at once, but promised to
consider the application. In the mean
time Mr.. Deacon would have to remain
in prison. Mrs. Deacon was then exam
ined. She told a story which confirmed
that Of her husband
Many prominent people are offering
bail for Mr.. Deacon, who, it is said, will
be released from custody.

tie Boy Took Pity ON the Creature.
SPRINGFIELb, o., Feb. 2O.-A large
barn on Redmond's farm, eight miles
north of here, was destroyed by fire,
with contents--a horse, COW and calf.
The fire was started by Dan Fatzinger's
little tot of a boy aged years. He
went to the stable and seeing the calf
shivering thought he would warm it up
by building fire under it. He gathered
some hay, placed it under the calf and
lit a match. The entire interior Of the
stable was soon in flames and the
boy, frightened, rushed to the house and

Gold and Silver Ore in Texas

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 20.-On land
lying in Verde creek, in Bandera county,
100 miles northwest of San Antonio and
owned by Colonel Mogill, "a valuable
strike has been made. The ore lies in
the rock in such evenly placed Jumps
that it at first aroused suspicion of salt

duced 1.6 ounces of silver and 1.2 ounces
of gold to the ton. Arrangements to

THE FRENCH CABINET CRISIS.
President Carnot Accepts the Resigna
tion of the Ministers.

President Carnot Accepts the Resigna-
tion of the Ministers.
PARIS, Feb. 2O.-President Carnot has
accepted the resignation of the minis
ters. He had long conference with NJ.
Freycinet before concluding upon ac-
ceptance, and the premier told the presi-
dent that his action could not be re-
called and that the course of the cham
Der left no choice between dishonor
and resignation. NJ. Fallieres. the min
lister of public worship, is looked upon
with coldness by his colleagues as the
primary cause of the crisis by his ag-
gressive attitude towards the clergy, and
the supporters of the government join
in condemning his policy as rendering
the catastrophe.
After the defeat of the ministry
Thursday there was remarkable scene
in the chamber. At first the majority
were as thunderstruck as the minority.
They had hardly expected to overthrow
the minority by such an extraordinary
vote. The followers of the old regime,
who had sat in calm hateur day after
day watching the onward swoop of the
current beyond their control, suddenly
awOke to a sense of the result. They
threw aside dignity and began embrac-
ing, and some even kissing, each other.
Stately mobiles from remote parts of
France, where loyalty to the church and
royal house is born in the people, forgot
their reserve and danced about like der
wishes in their delight at the defeat of
the ministry. The minority, on the
other hand, was first dumbfounded and
then frantic and answered the shouts of
joy with yells and execrations. The
prudence of the ministry in promptly
retiring without theatricals prevented
serious disorder.

Decided Against the CoIored Man.

DEs MONIES, Feb. 20.-The Hyde
Hopewell case, involving the civil rights
of colored man, has been settled in
favor of the defendant, Hopewell. The
court held that Hopewell had right to
refuse to serve Hyde in his restaurant,
and that the fact of the latter being a
colored man did not enter into the case.
In other words, the restaurant business
is private one, like grocery or dry
goods store, and differs from an inn, and
a proprietor may sell or not to any one
who enters his door.

AGAINST MACHINE MINING.
A Secret Circular Issued to ohiS
Miners.


Miners.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 20.-At the recent
convention of GOAL miners held in this
city the question of wages was not con-
sidered, but it now seems to be agitated
among the miners. A circular has been
issued by the executive board, asking
the miners of the state TO vote secretly
on the question of machine mining. The
machine miners want three-fifths of the
price paid for pick work. The circular
questions are:
First-Are you in favor of suspending the
district until their demands are conceded?
Second-Are you in favor of levy Of 81 per
member per week2 II not, what amount per
ton are you willing to be assessed in case Of a
suspension Of work in machine mines?
The demand of the machine miners is
strongly indorsed by their pick brethren.
The operators have not considered the
demand yet, but it is probable some ac-
ton will soon be taken.

BLAINE DIVORCE CASE.
The Familiar Story of the Engagement

of Miss Nevins to Young Blaine.
DEADwooD, S. D., Feb. 2O.-The
Blaine divorce case was called yester-
day. The morning was taken up in the
reading of three dispositions of General
Martin Mcmahon, DR.. Frazer T. Fuller
and DR.. Wynkoop. General McMahon
rehearsed the familiar story of the en-
gagement of Miss Nevins nstoyoungBlaine,
the opposition of the family, the hasty
marriage and finally the desertion of his
wife by young Blaine. The general
characterizes Mrs. Blaine, Sr., as one of
the most disagreeable of mother-in-
laws, and the story is told of how she
prevented the young Mrs. Blaine from
seeing her husband and effecting a
reconciliation and how she packed the
youth off TO Europe. DR.. Fuller testi-
fed how he had called twice and written
once to the elder Blaine to see what
could be done toward effecting recon-
ciliation. He had not been received and
the letter brought no answer,

A WREATH OF ROSES.
Idly the maiden,s fingers weave

Idly the maiden's fingers weave
A cleaning crown Of roses red,
And singing soft the while, she lays
The fragrant burden on her head.
For their swift death she does not grieve,
Nor sorrow DER such sweetness fled,
AS threading sunny woodland ways
She listens for her lovers tread
Enwrapped in bliss her soul reposes;
Ahi little she recks Of the griefs of roses.
Alas the fairest hopes deceived
She cannot dream what power dread,
With hand uplifted, by her stays,
To pluck her in the roses stead
Fen while her breast with love doth heave
She droops amid the blossoms dead;
And TO our dim, aftrighted gaze,
Despair, of helpless terror bred,
An awful unknown fate discloses,
To whom girls no more than roses.

Germany removed the prohibition
