WHOLE REGIMENT DESERTED.
Russian Soldiers Unable to Endure Their
Usfge by Their Officers.

ST. PETERSBURG, November 25.-A
great sensation was caused here today by
the mutiny of the Oovotcherkask regi-
ment, which has bean garrisoned here
for some time. The men have long been
complaining of the ill treatment to
which they were subjected by their off
GERS. Being no longer able to endure
such treatment they deserted this morn
ing in a body and started for their
homes. Another regiment was sent in
pursuit and the mutineers overtaken
about 12 milesaout and brought back to
the city. 1t is expected that drastic pun
ishment will be ineted out to Them.

have material evidence, only moral proof.
He gave the names of several banks
which, he declared, could possibly give
evidence.
The managing editor of La Libre Pa
role was examined in regard to the
charges in that paper against NJ. Proust.
He declared that only NJ. Draumont, the
editor, who is in prison, could give an
information.
M. Proust, deputy from Deux Sevres,
was examined. He denied having re-
celved money from the Panama Canal
Company. The company decided to re-
quest the minister of justice, to permit
M. Draumont to be brought before it for
examination, and to request the minister
to place before the committee whatever
evidence in the Panama case he had in
his possession, with view to ascertain
ing the proof of the statement made by
NJ. Delahaye that the documents bear
the names of over 500 persons subsidized
by the Panama Canal Company. The
committee decided to ask the govern
ment to verify the cause of the death of
Baron Reinach by ordering an autopsy
and an inquest, and cause the baron S
papers to be examined.

Tracy on the Line and Staff.

WASHINGTON, November 25.-In ap-
proving the sentence, of one years sus-
pension from rank and duty on leave
pay in the case of Assistant Engineer G.
W. Danforth, Secretary Tracy makes
very clear his position in regard to the
subordination of engineer officers to the
officer of the deck. He says that the
offence was ''clearl, violation of the
express regulation requiring engineers
on duty to conform to the orders of the
officer of the deck, who is the represent
ative of the commanding officer of the
vessel and is entitled to obedience from
all officers Of whatever rank, whether of
the line OF staff" But for the extreme
youth and inexperience of the accused,
the Secretary says, he would have re-
turned the record of his trial to the court
with recommendation for a more Sc

New HAVEN, November 25.-The as
tronomers at Yale are closely watching
the comet AS a rule they do not be-
lieve it can be identified with that Of Bic
la. In an interview tonight, Professor
Newton said he believed Biela's comet
had gone to pieces. Of the meteoric
shower observed on the 23a, the profess
sor said that the display belongs unques-
tionably to third fragment of the Biela
comet, and is not due directly to the two
principal fragments seen in 1S46 and 1852.
The comet observed by Holmes and now
engaging the attention of the public
Professor Newton believes is new one
never before observed. Its distance he
computes at $50, 1000, 900 miles. He looks
for brilliant meteoric shower Saturday
night.

LIZZIE BORDEN MAY BE FREED.
The Impression Is That She VIII Not Be
Indicted.

TAUNTON, Mass, November 25.-The
impression prevails that the grand jury
will not indict Lizzie Borden for the
murder of her father, Andrew Borden,
but the public is no more certain of this
than it was when the case first went into
the hands of the jury, except by infer
ence, since no member of that body has
expressed himself in any way. 1t is
quite certain, however, that no new evi-
dence of any Importance has been given
before the jury and that the proceedings
were delayed because the evidence was
not considered sufficient to warrant the
finding of an Indictment There is yet
nearly week for unearthing fresh evil
dence and in that time enough may be
gathered to make things assume an en-
tirely different aspect.
Not Indicted Now, She Is Still Liable to
Arrest.
Boston, November 25.-A Taunton de-
spatch to the Journal says: There
ale strong indications. based upon au-
thentic matters, that the grand jury will
find s'no bill'' in the case of the Com
monwealth VS.. Lizzie A. Borden. The
reasons therefor are very simple, and in
substance are that according to indica-
tions in no way can there be obtained
sufficient evidence to frame an indict-
ment upon. The pith of the who'e mat
ter lies in this fact: That should Miss
Borden be indicted by the grand jury
and cleared by a traverse jury the gov
ernment could never lay it's Judicial
hanls upon her again for that charge, al
\ :
charge of committing another murder
Should the grand jury return no bill, she
is not then in any sense free woman,
but can be brought in on either charge
The grand jury has made no poll as yet
and positive assurance of their ultimate
action is wanting, although the feeling
is strongly in favor of the no-bill theory.

WANTS A NEW DEAL.
A DAUG LIGHTER OF THE LATE JOHN BAIRD
SUES FOR A SHARE OF HIS PROPERTY.

She Claims Her Father Yves Of Unsound
Mind and That Emma YsrRer and Frank
Baird Got Him to Deed His Proberty to
Them and Eucher the Four other Chill
dren Out of Their Shares.
An important deed contest suit was
commenced in common pleas court this
morning by Baldwin & Shields, acting for
Alice Gardner. The title of the case is
Alice Gardner VS. Emma Yarger, Oliver
Yarger her husband, franklin, Alfred,
Kate and Amanda Baird. With the ex-
ception of Oliver Yarger all are children
of John Baird who before his death lived
on ten acre farm near the bridge on the
Fulton road about two one half miles
from Canton.
According to the petition he made
deed shortly before he died, leaving the
property upon which he lived, which is
worth about 900 to franklin Baird and
Emma Yarger shutting out all the other
children.
The plaintiff now AYERS that he was of
unsound mind, and that, knowing this,
franklin lird and Emma Yarger took
advantage of his condition and easily in>
fluenced him to make deed disposing of
his property, cutting off the other four
children without any thing. In view Of
this alleged fact the plaintiff asks that the
deed be declared void and that she be
given her full sixth of the property.
The Franklin Baird involved in the case
is the music store man of this city whose
place Of business is now located on East
Tuscarawas street.

WIFE BEATeRS.
a Little Chapter Concerning the Glass of
Rufians.

a Little Chapter Concerning the Glass of
Rufhans.
The cause of wife beater is such that
any excuse made cannot be we'll received,
There is such natural aversion to wife
beaters that it is with feeling of regret
that we call attention to the case of Louis
Elsass, the we'll known milkman. 1t has
been reported to this office, on what is
considered good authority that Elsass is
wont to abuse his wife and that he does
not content himself with laying violent
hsnds upon her, but has used, and quite
recently, horsewhip. The application
OF the horsewhip was sufficiently marked
that 1t caused, as we are informed, large
cuts about the head and face of the VIC
tim of the husbands wrath. From what
can be learned Mrs. Elass was obliged to
| flee from the house, her cheek cut open
| by blow from murderous whip, in the
hands of her husband.
We get this information frem a source
which cannot be we'll overlooked. 1t il
needless to remark that good citizens
have no use for a wife beater. Dscen
| citizens do not chastise their better hRlveI
no matter what the cause, and in this cast
we have yet to discover due cause, or II
fact any cause whatever. We can imag
ing no condition, however superlative
which would warrant such procedure oil
the part of husband. There should b.
q special law enacted which would max
wife beaters amenable and distinct from
other criminals. We favor such law.
