Early last week man who gave the

proprietor that he would like to sell
ribbons for machines on commission and
the proprietor handed out $50 worth OF the
ribbons. Cooke went out and made sever
al sales. On Saturday, however, he failed
to materialize and ON Monday he was
amond the missing. An investigation
showed that he had disposed OF almost
the entire lot OF ribbons to local dealer

ascertained that he had visited
the Hub Loan company, and by represent
ing himself IA being poor and needy, Sc

was to sell on commission.
Cooke went out and later
he returned with a large number Of
orders. Then he played shrewd

CHICAGO, Dec. CECILIA Nicolaus' maiden
name was Zella Lyte and she was born
in Wabash, Ind, eighteen years ago last
May. She had face OF great beauty, and
an ambition TO see the world. At the age
OF Ii she distinguished herself.
A young travelling man named Christ
man visited the village, and Zella went
driving with him. When they returned
Zella ran weeping to her home and told
her father a narrowing tale OF assault.
The police disbelieved her story, and,
while they arrested the young man, they
also put Zella in cell. This, her first
scheme failed and she started for Chicago.
In this city Zella with a few dollars
took a fat at 526 Wabash avenue. She
was not only beautiful, but looked inno-
cent. She prospered aud soon was queen
among men about town. She disliked
her name and changed it by Turing into
mstrimony Joliet dry goods merchant
named Nicolaus.
Nicolaus soon learned OF her past life,
and Zella was packed OF 20 Chicago again.
She went TO live at fashionable place in
Fourth avenue, but quickly left IL for n
richly furnished fat at 333 Ohio street.
One day year later she appeared on the
streets gorgeously garbed. Her costumes
were dreams, her diamonds priceless. She
lived at the Great Northern hotel i'm Chi
cago and the Sturtevant house i'm New
York. This was in 1892. At that time she
professed TO know George Gould. After n
prodigal life here she left for New York.

Tho Manchester, Eng. Ship Canal Conn

Special to The News.


MANCHESTER, Eng, Dec. THE Man
chester ship canal was formally opened
today.
The Manchester ship canal Is 28 feet
deep, the same in this respect as the Suez
canal, so that any ship coming by the
latter route from India, China or Australia
will be able to pass on without tightening
her cargo to the docks OF Man
chester. The full depth of 26 feet extends
to q width of 120 feet at the bottom.
this being AZ feet, inches more than
the original width of the Suex canal.
which viii allow OF two OF the largest
ships passing each other wherever
they may chance to meet. The ground
through which this great work had to be
carried out was not desert like that be-
tween Port Said and Suez; four import
ant lines OF railway cross it, requiring
four high level viaducts to be con-
structed. Six swing bridges and a high
level cantilever, one at Latchford had
to be made for public roads
to pass. The Bridgewater canal crosses
the line, and this had to be arranged for.
The construction OF these large and costly
works must have added greatly to the ex-
pense of the canal, which has reached q
total of $4,000, 900. Seventy-five thou
sand dollars was at first spent in obtain
ing the act OF parliament. This initiatory
expenditure was owing to the strong oppo-
sition that was shown by the Corporation
and Dock board of Liverpool, as well as
by the railway companies, and it is re-
ported that it cost them on their side Z
larger sum even than that just named.
Ground was broken on November II,
1887, at Eastman Ferry, Cheshire side of
Mersey, so that the work has been practi-
cally finished in six years.

ARAB WITCH DoCTREsS

Special to The News.

Special to The News.
MIDDLETowN, N. ", Dec. 7.--The old
Arab woman who professed to be q switch
doctor" and who nearly tottured to death
pretty little Anna Moore of Dixville, Pa,
while "treating" for epileptic fits, has
again been heard from.
She called at house six miles from the
scene OF her former brutality, on Sunday
last and succeeded in persuading
the people to allow her TO
remain over night. She was given room
up stairs, adjoining apartments occu-
pied by feminine member of the family,
and during the night the latter awoke TO
find the switch doctor" cropping her way
about the room, with q lighted taper in
one hand and a stick in the other.
She screamed for help, when man ap-
peared and conducting the Arab woman
back 10 her own room, fastened her in,
intending to take her before a magistrate
in the morning.
IL was discovered, when the morning
dawned, that the woman had escaped from
the house by letting herself down from the
window with al iniprovised rope, made
from the bed clothing.
A barn on the premise was burned TO
the ground the next night, but no further
trace OF the woman could be found. The
people throughout that section are now
beginning TO realize that the woman
is a desperate character and will not be
contented until she Is placed in custody.
Little Anna Moore is still suffering
greatly from the effects OF the witch
doctors" treatment, and her recovery is
regarded by physicians as imp obable.

THE AMERICA DISABLED.
One of Her Crew Thought to be In MELEE

Specal TO The News

Special to The News,
NEW YORK, Dec. THE Brazilian
cruiser America, which sailed from New
York for Rio Janeiro on the night Of
Nov. 26 for the puropoae of fighting the
rebel, Admiral Mello's warships, is lying at
Bridgetown, Barbados, so seriously dis
abled by the act of an unknown traitor
among her crew that she will probably be
unable to continue her voyage for several
weeks.
A cable message was received by Flint
& Co. from the West Indies late yester-
day afternoon announcing that one
OF the vessels valves, among the
most vulnerable parts OF q ships
machinery, had been purposely broken by
some unknown member OF the crew, and
that the vessel had thereby been so seri-
ously injured that long delay must oc-
cur before she could continue her voyage.
In view OF the latter fact it was an
nounced in the cablegram that the cruiser
Nictheroy, which left st. Thomas with
the America for Rio Janeiro last Sunday
night, had continued the voyage alone.
The traitor, it is said, did his work last
Monday. The cable message did not give
the particulars OF the affair, nor would
Flint & Co. mention the port where the
vessel is now lying, but learned that she
is at Bridgetown, which is only one days
sail from st. Thomas.
II Mello's agent did his work while the
vessel was some distance from that port,
the Nictheroy no doubt towcd her to
Bridgetown, as she would be rendered
helpless Immediately upon the break In
the machinery taking place.

LONDON, Dec. THE coroDer's jury mas
rendered its verdict in the case OF the
death of Professor Tyndal, and 1t is that
he died from an overdose of chloral.
Mrs. Tyndal testified before the jury
that her husband was accustomed to
taking two teaspoonsful Of the syrup OF
chloral every night and two Of magnesia
every morning.
On the day Of his death she mistook the
bottles and by mistake gave him two
teaspoonfu,s OF the chloral mixture.
As the medicine is of cumulative ma
ture when taken in SO frequent doses it
resulted In his death.
She is heartbroken over her mistake, but
very bravely acknowledged her response
bility.
This probably ends the case.

FEW YORK, Dec. The Herald's
special from Montevideo, Urguray, via
Galveston, Texas, says: Thc Herald's cor
respondent in Rio Janeiro sends word that
the rebel war ships Aquidaban and Re-
publica arc both anchored at Ilha Grande,
the quarantine station, not far from
Rio Janeiro. The former, which Is
Mello's flagship, is undergoing repairs for
injuries she suffered while running the
gantlet OF the loyal forts at the entrance
OF Rio Harbor the other day.
The position she now occupies, out OF
the range OF Peixoto's guns, is much more
favorable for this purpose than when she
lay within the bay. 1t is presumed, also,
that these two formidable men-of-war
have decided 10 meet the expected vessels
OF Peixoto's newly purchased fleet in that
neighborkood.
Holding Hostages
President Peixoto has imprisoned Baron
de Santateola and his son, and will hold
them as hostages for the lives OF prisoners
now in the hands OF the federals.

Sui are now besieging the towna of Bage,
on the southern border of the province of
Sac Pedro do RIO Grande, and the garri-
son is showing itself well prepared for a
defence.
The steamer Itapu, on the Rio Grande,
is guarding the fortress of Bars from at
tack by water.
