The Widow Was PIuckY.

The inmates of one Of the fashionable
hotels in Washington are discussing with
much interest certain little episode
which caused quite sensation among
them day or two ago. 1t appears that
one night towards the beginning OF the
week gay young widow, staying at the
hotel in question, was aroused from her
midnight slumbers by the very unexpected
presence of a man in the vicinity OF her
bed. Before she was able to muster cour-
age enough to ask for an explanation, her
visitor cody volunteered the information
that he was domiciled in the adjoining
room, and that feeling dull he had picked
the lock of the communicating door and
come in, hoping to find in congenlal com
panionship an antidote for his lone
! illness. The widows answer to
this shameless avowal was to reach
for a revolver, which 1t seems
! is her constant companion, and, covering
her midnight guest with it, to demand his
instantaneous exit. The latter, however,
| iocularly refused to comply with this re-
quest, and approaching still nearer to the
! bed was fired at the lady and wounded IN
the arm. This led him to see the advant-
age of an expeditions retreat, not only
from the room, but from the house and
town and before the day dawned he was
far from the scene of his gentlemanly ex-
plot. The hope INDUCED in by the lady
that, by not giving the alarm, she would
succeed in keeping the thing quiet, was OF
course a vain one; it got out IN some way,
and before noon the next day there was no
one in the hotel who did not know of and
applaud her pluck cOnduct.-ToWn Topics

CINCINNATI, June ia bridge over the
Licking river between Covington and
Newport nearly completed fell with all the
workmen. The two Bailey brothers, of
Pittsburg, and ten laborers are said to be
killed.
CINCINNATI, June 15.-One of the most
fearful accidents in the history of this vi
cinity today was the fall of bridge in
course of construction over the Licking
river between Covington and Newport,
KY. Forty-ive men were on the structure
and as far as known only two escaped un-
hurt. The others were either killed by the
crushing timbers or drowned. The cause
is said to have been the weakening of the
wooden false work. High water washed
out the earth supports. The men today
were engaged under direction of Robert
and William Baird, contractors, in placing
the heavy iron work of the main span.
Without warning there was a sudden
crack like timbers swaying the structure
and a headlong plunge of a mass
of timber iron and workmen into
the waters of the Licking river
fifty feet below. The river was quickly
lined with rescuers on both sides. The
following bodies were recovered; Richard
German, Thomas Burke, William Hartner,
John O'Neill, Charles Scampon, Robert

NO WALK0VER
For the Fat Prophet" From New
York State.

Hunting for a civil Service Plank.
what the Free silver Coinage
Advocates Have TO Say About
the Platform.
NEW YORK, June 15.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent, speculating on
the outcome of the Chicago convention,
says Cleveland will have no walk-over, but
democrats in Washington believe the ex-
president will have to fight hard for a
nomination. German is the choice of ap-
parently the majority Of his senatorial con-
freres. Of the platform a correspondent
says can effort to obtain a strong civil
service reform plank in the democratic
platform is being made by the democratic
members of congress interested in the sub
ject. The silver plank is the subject of
considerable discussion among democratic
members of congress. The silver men
seem less disposed to make an aggressive
fight than the republicans of the mining
states at the republican convention.
The opponents of free coinage do
not expect much difficulty in
obtaining the plank they want,
and the friends Of free coinage have evi-
IDENTIFY lost heart by reported defeats in the
democratic ranks. Senator Stewart, the re.
publican silver agitatOr, from Nevada, said
in reply to question as to what the demo
Gratis would do on silver: "Ba, they would
do Just the same as the republicans. Why
the gold bugs would send million dollars
or two million if necessary, to buy up the
whole convention" Representative Bland
the democratic free coinage advocate, is
equally hopeless The fact that one of the
counties in his district recently adopted
resolutions advising that the tariff be made
a predominant issue seems to have killed
his ardor. All that could be got from him al
to whether IN earnest fight would be made
at Chicago for free silver coinage was: 81

H.ipbts of the TaIIest men.

Turner, the naturalist, declared that he
once saw, upon the coast of Brazil, race
of gigantic savages, one of whom was 12
/ feet in height. NJ Thevet, Of France, in
his description of America, published at
Paris in 1875, asserted that he saw and
measured the skeleton of South Ameri-
can which was II feet 2 inches in length
The Chinese are said to claim that in the
last century there were men in their coun-
try who measured 10 feet in height Jo-
sephus mentioned the case of Jew who
was 10 feet 2 inches in height. Pliny tells
of an Arabian giant, Gabala. 9feet9 inches,
the tallest man in the days Of
Claudius. John Middletown, born
at Hale, in Lancashire, in the time of
James 1. was 8 feet inches in height; his
hand was II inches long and 8l inches
broad, says DR.. Platt in bis History Of
Staffordshire" The Irish giant, Murphy,
contemporary with O'Bri %, was feet 10
inches. A skeleton in tue museum Of
Trinity College, Dublin is 8 feet 6inches in
height. and that of Charles Byrne, in the
museum of the College of Surgeons, Lon

THE STRADDLERS.
Ohio Democrats Wrestling With
the Silver Question.
Fixing UP a Platform That Will
Suit ali sorts of PeOpIe-The
Ticket Nominated at Columbus
Today.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 15.-The demo-
cratic state convention met here this morn
ing. The committee on resolutions was in
session till early this morning, when the
work was turned over to a subcommittee,
who have not yet been able to agree. The
hitch is on the silver plank. General Fin
lev and other free silver democrats insisted
on free silver plank last year, but an eff
fort is being made to straddle the question.
A tariff reform plank has been agreed on
and sumptuary legislation denounced.
The convention was called to order by
Chairman J. A. Norton, Of the central
committee. The mention in his address of
the names of Cleveland, Hill, German,
Whitney and Campbell, was greeted with
applause which showed all his followers in
the convention. Hon. J. E. Neal was made
temporary chairman. In speech accept
ing. he predicted the defeat of Harrison
and Reid. From the foundation of the
government up to the year 1873, the demo-
cratic party when in power took eXacting
care of the coinage of money. There was
no fluctuating in value in the metal cur
rencv. INV fellow citizens, it is left foI
the democracy to restore the equities be-
tween metals, and my word for it, the com
| ing national convention will meet the sill
yer question with courage and justice, and
and evolve a plan that will establish
equality between gold and silver and make
! the dollar in name dollar in fact" The
committees were announced and recess
was taken.
On reconvening the temporary organiza'
ton was made permanent. The commit
tee on platform was given more time. The
following state ticket was nominated
Secretary of state-W. A. Taylor; supreme
Judge, long term-J ohm p. briggs; supreme
Judge, short term-Thomas Beer; clerk su
preme court-W. H. Wolfe.

A oowARDLY MURDER.
George whslen VIII be I.ynchsd IL Caught
and Taken to ST. Paul.


ST. PAUL, April 4.-Indignation is at
high pitch in st. Paul last night over
the murder of George II. Spaulding, a
boy of 19 years, at Portage, Wis, shortly
before dawn on Saturday morning.
Young Spaulding was the son of Hugh
Spaulding, one of st. Paul's leading cit
izens Mr.. Spaulding arrived here yes
terday afternoon with the body of his
son and cleared up the mystery of the
assassination. He was killed by George
Whalen, "a young man of 20, whom
Spaulding considered one of his warmest
friends.
Three or four days ago Whalen coaxed
Spaulding to take a trip to Chicago. On
Friday Spaulding's father purchased
tickets for both young men, gave his son
S25 dollars and gold watch, and ac-
companied the pair to the evening train.
On the way to Chicago Whalen prevailed
on Spaulding to get off the train for a
day at Portage They left the cars at
that point at 3:40 in the morning.
After walking few rods along the
track Whalen picked upa broken, jagged
coupling pin and beat Spaulding's head
into a jelly. Robbing the body of the
money and the watch, Whalen took
Spaulding's coat and shoes, threw the
body into the canal, and made his
escape, He had evidently planned the
murder several days before. If caught
and brought to St. Paul Whalen will be
lynched

The Great English Divine Gave All His

LONDON, April 4-The announcement
that Rev. DR.. Charles H. Spurgeon left
only 1900 pounds when he died will
dou btless be as great surprise in
America as it is here. Every body not
intimately acquainted with the celebrs-
ted preachers methods of work sup
posed him to be possessed of a comfort
able fortune. 1t is doubtful whether any
preacher in Europe or in America ever
received greater sums Of money, and it
is certain that none lived more simple
and inexpensive life.
But DR.. Spurgeon merely considered
himself the trustee for the poor of all
sums that came into his possession. He
never considered himself the rightful
possessor of the money in his pocket
when he met person in greater need
than himself.

A Ragpicker, Once Beautiful, Meets an
UntimeIy End in Berlin.
BERLIN, April 4.-The dead body of a
woman was found in a sack in the area
of a villa in the Kaiser Wilhelm strasse
last night. She had been strangled aud
the marks of fingers were still apparent
on her throat. She was identified as a
ragpicker who was a well-to-do peasants IS
daughter and lived with her father in
the country until about thirteen years
ago
She ran away with a captain in the
reserves named Schall, and left him
shortly after her arrival in Berlin for a
student whom she subsequently deserted
for an attache of the Russian legation.
She lost her beauty through dissipa-
tion, and for the last eight years had
been a ragpicker. She left her room at
o'clock in the morning, and was not
seen alive afterward, as far as has been
learned, by anybody who knew her.
