A DOUBLE MURDER MYsTERY.-
South Boston, Mass, has murder
mystery which is as 6endish in its de-
tall as the lannon's Borden case, and
which bears remarkable resemblance
to that case, except in the form of death,
poison being used instead offs Ratchet.
A mother and daughter drank from
bottle of porter and dropped dead al
most instantly. A post-mortem exami-
nation revealed the fact that they had
swallowed enough cyanide of potas-
stun to have killed ten persons. Two
sons and daughter have been arrest
ed, charged with the murder, but the
evidence which the police have thus
far secured against them is not as
strong as that arrayed against Lizzie
Borden. This case bids fair to became
equally celebrated in the annals of
crime.
The awful results of the crime did
not end in the death of the two victims
who drank the poison. Last night the
husband and father learned for the first
time of the tragic death of his wife and
daughter, and in few minutes be, too,
WAS q corpse. The shock had killed
him. Another daughter is lying at
deaths door and the chances are against
her recovery.

News has been received from the Her

Sui of skirmish between the revolu-
tionary forces and the outposts of the
government troops in Santa Ana. After
hard fighting, lasting more than an
hour, the government troops retreated.
A body of two thousand revolutionary
troops, under command of Pinheiro,
Saraiva, Inca and Tigre, are now twen-
ty leagues from Desterro. A battle
with the government forces is expected
as the revolutionists propose to main
tain, if possible, the independence of
the State of Santa Catharina, while
Peixoto's troops will try to regain a
foothold there and drive out the pro-
visional government established at Des-
terro by Mello. Recent arrivals from
Rio say that Mello is gradually losing
ground.

Meeting of the Legislature.

The General Assembly will meet the
first week in December. Lieutenant
Governor Tyler will preside over the
Senate until January 1st, when his sue
cessor, Mr.. Kent, will be inaugurated.
Mr.. Fl urt no doubt will be reelected
president pro tenn. of the Ser..;e. No
opposition to the reelection Of Mr..
Cardwell as Speaker of the House has
developed. Col. John Bell Bigger will,
ofcourse, be reelected clerk. There may
be several aspirants for the positions of
sergeant-at-arms and doorkeeper of
each House.
During the first week of the session
Of the Legislature the democratic mem
bers will hold caucus and nominate
candidates for all of the State Offices.
So far as is known, Auditor Marye and
Treasurer Hartman will not have oppo-
sition. Hon. Joseph It. Lawless, of
Portsmouth, wishes to be Secretary of
the Commonwealth, and Judge Flour
nov is candidate for reelection to that
position. 1t is not unlikely that all Of
the other State officials will have oppo-
sition. DR.. ]. w. Southall, of Amelia,
is opposing Mr.. Massey for the position
Of Superintendent of Public InstruC-
ton, and it is said that Capt. w. j..
Binf I'd, of Henrico, will be candi-

for Register of the Laid Office. DR..
S. s. Wilkins, of northampton, is
spoken of for superintendent of the
penitentiary and MIR. Lynn, the pres

Holmes Conrad and Hon. John Goode.
Col. R. c.. Marshlll of Ports mouth, Is
mentioned, also. The friends of both
Lee and Martin claim that their favor
ties are sure to win, but those who are
backing the other aspirants predict that
it will require several ballots to nomi-
nate. There is no doubt of the fact
that this will be hard fought and eS

For the five positions on the bench
of the Court Of Appeals, there are q
most of candidates. Hon. H. r. Pol

As NO point of international law is

its own waters, the United States can
certainly have no fault to find with
Honduras for firing at one of their mer-
chant ships which was carrying OIL a
citizen of that country who had broken

The claim Honduras may have against
the United States for the gross infrac-
ton of international law referred to, is

Naked an Open Boat.

Naked, furnishing for food and water
and almost roasted by the tropical sun,
three Spanish sailors were on October
ID rescued from small boat in mid
ocean and landed on Wednesday al
this port from the schooner Henry Lip.
pitt. Their story rivals in horror the
most thrilling recital of the dime novel
writer and that they were saved at all
is considered by them as little short OF
miracle.
The men are Pedro Nagloles, Anto,
MO Crimer and Llogio Peres and they
formed part Of the crew of the Spanish
bark Juan J, Murga, which, on Sep
TENDER i, sailed from Mobile with q
cargo of slaves for Seville, Spain. The
men were picked up in latitude 1896,
longitude 1905, the small boat in which
they were drifting helplessly having
been sighted by the merest accident.
The schooner Henry Lippitt was
bound for this port from Turks Island
and the tiny boat was at first supposed
to be g bit of wreckage. The lookout,
however, thought he saw signs of life,
and the vessel was put about and soon
came alongside the open boat. Then
it was seen to contain three occupants.
All were lying face downward in the
bottom. They were entirely naked
and great sun blisters covered their up
turned backs.
Tenderly they were lifted to the
schooner's deck, and though they could
speak no English their cries for food
and water were pitiful in the extreme.
They were delirous, and when they real
lied that they were safe began to dance
and hug and kiss the brawny sailors
who had rescued them. They were
nursed like babies until out of danger
and it was several days before they re-
covered from the awful experience they
had endured.
Finally they were able to tell that
they had sailed from Mobile under
Captain Linares, in time to catch the
early October hurricane. Their YES
sci was soon thrown on her beam
ends and became a hopeless wreck.
All hands took to the boats, having
time only to store Scant supply Of
food and water. The sea was running
high, the small boats were leaky and
the men realized that they could hard
ly live through the storm. All remov-
ed their clothing in order to be able to
swim for the wreckage Of the bark
should the boat capsize. The three
men rescued were once compelled to
swim while they righted the boat, aud
they managed to live until the Lippitt
hove in sight.
The Juan ]. Murga had crew of 10
men. Four were picked up by the
steamer Lampasas and landed at Gal
weston. They were also naked and
furnishing. Nothing has been heard of
the other u and they were probably
lost. The three landed here will be
cared for by the Spanish Consul and
sent home as soon as possible. Yester-
day they joined in card of thanks to
Captain Benjamin Howes of the schoon-
er that rescued them. Both captain
and crew are warmly praised for their
kind and humane treatment of the men
who passed through such an awful
experieDce.-Philadelphia Record.

THE President is credited by his
friends with the possession of an extra
amount of ''sand" and q phenomenally
stiff "back bone," and that, too, in the
face of his st. Louis platform, his COZ
federate flag order, and his "let up" in
the matter of purgiug the pension
rolls. For his own, and his party's
sake, it is hoped that the results of the
recent elections may not induce him to
exhibit any change or shadow of turn
ing in respect of his wise and popular
low tariff ideas.

AMONG ALL the recent elections,
there was only one in which the tariff
question was practically involved. 1t
was in Michigan, where an election was
held for congressman who will have
to vote on the question referred to-,
The candidates were a high tariff re-
publican and low tariff democrat, and
the latter was elected. But this is only
one straw of the rick that completely
ly lissipates the foolish idea that the
Late democratic defeats were 'aused by
