LIE MlJAREs INCIDENT.


stare department.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. The morning
mail which arrived at the Department OF
Safe contained no letter from United
States Minister Scruggs, but there was a
commu cation from Consul General
Hanna "a La-uayra.
The Consul General reported the facts
in the case Of the futile attempt of the
local authorities to arrest Mirajes on
board the "Red d" line steamer Phila-
delphia, and their refusal to surrender
the vessels papers.
The writer kept strictly within the
lines of his duty as a consular officer,
and made no attempt to discuss the dip
lomatic aspect of the case.
At present the Department of State has
not determined upon any action in the
case, and indeed none seems to be called
for just now. If there should be any
trouble experienced by the steamship
company, when the vessel returns to Ven
ezuela, the department will be prepared
to meet it.
News has reached the Navy Depart
menU that the United States steamer
Kearsarge, which has been up the Orinoco
river in connection with the detention
of United States Consul Underwood, and
was the only United States vessel in Ven
ezuelan waters, has gone on a cruise in
the West Indian waters having sail ed
from Trinidad recently.

Found Hanging

Found Hanging.
BRADFORD, Pa, Nov. 21-Mrs Lucette
Grossmeyer, aged 90 years, was found
hanging in her COW stable at Farmers
Valley yesterday. For a time it was
supposed to be case of suicide. Investi.
cation, however, brought to light a most
brutal murder
The old lady bad gone to the stable to
milk her COW. The murderer, evidently
knowing her habits, was lying in wait
for her. AS she entered the stable door
she was seized from behind and beaten
and choked into insensibility.
A large pool of blood was found on the
floor; marks of fingers were on her throat,
and irightful bruises from blows upon
her head and face were plainly discerni-
ble Her clothing was nearly torn from
her body, and her hair was matted with
filth from the stable floor.
After committing the deed the mur-
derer hanged the old lady by the neck
from a rafter
Mrs. Grossmeyer's husband died last
year. Owing to domestic difficulties,
the old couple had not lived together for
a long time.
Mrs. Grossmeyer had much difficulty
in getting possession of her husbands s
farm, which was claimed by her son.
This son, Ralph Grossmeyer, was at
Smithport, but his present whereabouts
is unknown. He was the only enemy
of the old lady, The coroner is now

KNIGHTS AT ST. LOUIS.

To Consider a Proposition to Meet Each
Year with the Farmers Alliance.
ST, LOUIS, Nov, 2l.-There is very little
discussion among Knights of Labor over
the pending election Of general officers
and this is because il is almost certain
that the present officers will be reelected
Before adjourning sine die the conven-
tion will consider a proposition already
suggested to meet each year in the same
city and at the same time with the gen
eral body of the Farmers Alliance The
relations of the two orders are very
close and many of the Knights think the
meeting of the conventions at the sam e
place and time would tend to promote a
further concert of action.

ECHOES OF The GAME.
Nothing But Praise for Harvard for n,
Plucky Fight.

Hlucky flBht.
NEW HAVEN, Nov 21. Yale men ar,
still rejoicing over the victory over Har
ward on the football field Saturday and
it cannot be denied that they have not YET
recovered from the surprise they received
for they firmly believed that they had 1,
walkover with the Harvards this year
The odds offered by their friends in the
betting indicates just how sanguine they
all felt.
Well may the Yale men be proud OF
their victory, for there is no denying thai
it was the hardest and most scientific
football battle on record and Harvard
proved to be no mean opponent, but OF
the contrary developed unexpected
strength and her team, although beaten
was one of the best that bas represented
the college in years.
The game throughout was really g
contest between coachers
An old football player, referring to the
game, said:
What struggle it wasl They fought
so evenly that the great mass of human
ity looking on was kept in a continual
state of exuberance and violent emotion.
But the end came, and Harvard had
to succumb. Not, however, until ire
parable injury had been done to her
ranks through injuries to Emmons and
Upton. Both men retired near the end OF
the second half. Who knows but what the
score would have been a tie and Yale
would not be reveling in the Joy of vic
tory had not these men been injuredl
'Those who had predicted that Yale
would win by score of 80 to 0 had lit
tie knowledge Of the strength Of Harvard.
Those who had wagered their money
at three and two to one felt so shaky as
the game progressed that they would
liked to have gone after "bracer" had
it not been that they were penned in SO
they could not move.
"Harvard's defeat can be laid primarily
to the absence of Upton and Emmons.
The former was injured first, and re.
tired when the second half was about
half over Emmons had his leg injured
in the second half, but after short de-
lay he hobbled along on one leg and con
tiuued to play"

Residents of Long Island City in Fever

of Excitement over the Matter.
LONG ISLAND CITY, Nov. 81 Residents
of this city, and more particularly those
of the anti Gleason faction, have not yet
recovered from the bom5shell hurled into
the political camp by City Clerk Burke,
an appointee of Mayor Gleason, declaring
his superior reelected by a majority of
732 votes.
Everybody had accepted the recent
election returns as final, Gleason's defeat
for reelection as Mayor settled and San
fords triumph over him complete.
The matter will undoubtedly be carried
to the courts, but as Gleason, on the
strength of the clerks certificate, has
been sworn iD, he has the possession ad-
vantage of the matter
1t is understood that Gleason claims
the Office on the ground that nearly
thousand defective ballots were cast for
his opponent, Sanford.
Sanford was the candidate of the jeff
erson Democracy. When City Clerk
Burke counted the defective ballots
where the names of the candidates were
written on the ballots instead of being
printed, he found 900 of them on which
Sanford's name was written in many
ways. Nearly all were wrong.
On many were written Sanford, on
many others Sandford, Sansford and
Sanaford After placing these various
names in their proper columns and foot
ing up the totals, City Clerk Burke
found that Gleason's ballot showed a
majority over Sanford's proper ballot of
732 votes.
Sanford is in Washington with his
family. He went there to recuperate
over his supposed victory over Gleason.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-09-17

Upon another page of this issue Of the
News will be found the most complete
and unanswerable tables of comparative
prices of revenue tariff and protective
tariff period ever printed in this city.
II shows that the cost of living has,
upon the whole, greatly fallen since the
days of the Polk tariff. In some in
stances prices are higher now, chiefly
with respect to foods of certain kinds,
but, in the main, everything is down,
and away down, below the figures Of
the 1s54'59 period.
There is no further occasion for any
paper within the widening circle of the
NEWS influence to refer TO the famine
stricken and calamitous days before the
war, relieved only by the fever of un-
healthy excitement caused by the gold
discovery,a as the golden age of the Re-
public" when men could live cheaply.
They Were days which no patriot would
ever care to see return.
Living is cheaper now. We may take
that for granted. But is that the whole
of the comparison? BY no means.
Wages have rizen rs the expenses Of life
have fallen. Men earn more now by a
days labor than in 1850 or thereabouts.
from 80 to $50 per cent more. They
spend less for the same amount and
quality Of goods, or buy far. more for
the same expenditure of labor. And
the savings banks are full.
If free trade were to be adopted as a
national policy the conditions of the
period before the war would not be re-
produced in all respects. But there are
very few articles in the long lists we
publish to-day which could be mater
tally cheapened and the price of labor
must inevitably fall to the foreign
standard. Men with invested fortunes
might stand the change. Can the
