The heavy storm or the last few days so

The western arrivals were also very light.
The scarcity of cattle this week will give the
market a rise. and values for next week will
have a tendency to be stronger.
There were no sales, the few cattle
brought in were sent direct to the abattor and
killed for the Boston beef market.

Women and Boston Common.
THE woman's Column

Inc woman Sotumn
Great excitement has prevailed in
Boston for some days over the proposal
to run street car lines through Boston
Common, and to take portion Of that
historic ground for railroad station.
Tie idea that the Common could be
taken from the public for any purpose
reused the citizens, men and women,
rich and poor alike. The Green Room
at the State House was packed with
remonstrants against "parting with a
single inch" Petitions with thousands
of names were gathered 10 a very short
time. Business men signed the nsmes
OF their firms. Women OF all rauks joined
in. Mrs. Jane G.. Austin, the novelist,
writing 10 the Boston Transcrip,. under
the heading. Quit You like Men," said !:
| have Away opposed female suffrage.
But il the men whom | have looked
upon as efficient guardians Of the best
rights OF women are going TO allow Bos-
ton Common tobe snatcheI out OF their
hands. | will at once join the foremost
ranks % the woman suffragists for
nobody. ! suppose, doubts that If this
question were left TO women to decide,
the Common would be saved. just as
the school board was some few years
ago
She Said much more than this. But
there were many women like her, who
for the first time Eel, the need and the
wish for the power Of the ballot. One
hopes they may not have sadder
lesson. The first name on the women's
petition was that of Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe. and she appeared, by invitation.
among the speakers at the heariLg.

There has been fairly good trade in

ATHENS, Jan. 31.-The island of Zante
Was shaken early this morning by an
earthquake. In the town of Zante many
houses were wrecked and the occupants
ran in their night clothes into the street
The roof of the prison fell In, and
many prisoners were wounded. The
guard was doubled to prevent
the prisoners from escaping and
TO suppress disorder consequent upon the
panic among them. The walls of the
prison, which had been sprung and
cracked, were braced. The hospital was
shaken partly from its foundations. all
the flOors settled and the roof sank several
feet. The attendants ran from the build
ing, and were induced with difficulty half
an hour later TO return and help remove
the patients to another part Of the town.
Two hours later the town was
shaken by repeated shocks, houses fei
in all quarters. and the prison became so
unsafe tat many prisoners were re-
moved. The people, in panic, fed frem
the houses aud crowded the streets and
market place. Scores OF families LETT the
town to camp in the feds on the out
skirts. Many dead bodies have been
found in the ruins and hundred or
more are reported to have been seriously
