amount of exercise He has been as
sured that his life will be prolonged a
number of years, but that absolute recov-
cry is doubtful. Although the reports
that the czarowitz Is to be made regent
are declared to be without foundation, it
is probable that the physicians will insist
upon the cars abstaining for a certain
period from all work.
The lull in the factional strife in the
Irish party is merely cloak to active in
ternal intrigues. The Freemaus Jour-
nal keeps up its attacks upon Tim Healy,
who is credited with collecting evidence
peatedly received financial assistance
from the English liberals. Mr. Healys
efforts are directed to destroy the in
fiuence of Thomas Sexton and John Dill
Ion in order to secure for himself the
leadership of the party on the retirement
of Justin Mccarthy. The unity of the
party rests upon Mr.. Mccarthy, whom
all sections respect, and it Is, therefore,
more than ever unlikely that he will re-
tire for some time to come.
Intimate friends of Mr. Gladstone say
that the grand old mans restored vigor
may justify his temperance in politics.
The recurrent diarrhoea from which he
suffered for long time has been cured
by the simple experiment of wearing
band around his body.
The British committee of the Indian ma
tlonal congress has invited the Hon. Ed
ward Blake, NJ. P, who is now in Can
ada, to preside at the coming meeting in
Madras. If Mr.. Blake declines Michael
Davitt or John Dillon will be invited to
preside. The Indian nationals desire to
associate their agitation with that of the
Irish as representing the same principle.

LYNoHINas IN TEE SOUTH.
The Pail Mall Gazette Rsbukes the En-
gltsh Committee.

London, oct. 6,--The Pail Mall Gazette
this afternoon, commenting upon the let
ter of the anti-lynching committee and
the reply to it made by Gov Jones Of
Alabama, says the committees letter Is
nothing short of impertlnence, adding:
eve are entirely in agreement with the
snub administered In the governors re-
ply. Public opinion in America is en-
Hghtened and alert enough to deal with
It's own administrative abuses, without
the interference of committee of ire
sponsible English busybodys. We hope
that the lesson will not be lost upon
Americans themselves. No body of
Americans has yet gone TO the length of
addressing the lord lieutenant of Ireland
or the chief secretary of Ireland on the
administration of the law in Ireland. but
resolutions and the like have passed
which come perilously near the anti
lynchng committees Importance"
The Times, in a leader, says: while we
have little or no sympathy with lynching
we have none with anti-lynching commit
tees who betray no consciousness of the
magnitude or delicacy of the problem in
which they interfere. We should not be
surprised II the committees we'll meant
letter had the effect of multiplying the
number of negroes hanged. shot or
burned, not only in Alabama, but through
out the southern states. This would be
bitter stroke of irony. but 1t is a fate that
often attends fanatical anxiety to impose
our own canons of civilization upon people
differently circumstanced."

FELL FROM A BALLOON.
A Girl Aeronaut Falls 1,eoo Feet to
Her Death.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 6.--Beatrice Won
Dresden, the young lady balloonist. made
an ascension on the Franklinville fair
grounds to-day at o'clock, and when
over 1900 feet from the earth. she fell
from the balloon and was instantly killed.
Miss Won Dresden was a native of Buff
falo. In recent years, however, her
nome has been in Frankfort, Ky. She
has been a professional aeronaut for
three years, and in that time has made
twenty ascensions. She had Just passed
her seventeenth birthday. The ascension
was arranged for yesterday, but on ac-
count OF the rain, was put Off until to-
day. When the hour arrived, the wind
was blowing rather strongly, and she was
advised not to make the ascension. Her
rather and mother, who were present,
tried to dlssuade her, but she declared
that she would not disappolnt her hum
dreds of old friends and the balloon was
released from its moorngs. At a height
OF about 1,600 feet the crowd below OBJ
served that Miss Won Dresden was pre-
pairing TO make her parachute jump. She
appeared at the side of the basket, trying
TO unfasten the parachute, which was at
tached to the balloon. In some way, not
clear to those below, she lost her hold
or the balloon and the parachute and her
body came whlrling TO the ground. The
body struck within the fair grounds, ana
was imbedded nearly foot In the ground.
The girl was dead when the people
reached her Her father and mother were
among the first to reach the body and
their demonstrations were heart-rending.

DUvAL's ELECTION CONTEST.
Judge Gall sustains the Demurrer OF
the Defendants.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 6.-The DuvaI
election contest was argued before Judge
Call this morning. who sustained the de-
murrer Of the defendants, and dissolved
the temporary injunction restraining the
board Of canVassers from issuing election
certificates, or proceeding further in the
canvass of voters. The demurrer was that
the court of chancery had no
jurisdiction in an election, but that the
relief sought lay in quo warranto. This
proceeding will likely be brought in Janu-
ary, al which time the terms OF the county
officers expire. In the event they refuse
to yacate, the attorney general will bring
quo warranto proceedings In the supreme
court, as the law requires him TO do.
The complainants admitted that a con-
tegted election could not be tried in cham
Gerry court but declared that this was not
a contested election, but no election, in
asmuch as the electors of five precincts
were wrongfully deprived OF the right
to vote.
Messrs. Fleming and Hartridge APP
peared for the defendants, and Messrs.
Young and Cockrell for the complainants.

DID MONEY SAVE HIS NEoKp
A Rich Bankers Aequittal of Murder
Causes Ugly Rumors.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct 6.-The jury in
the r. NJ. Page murder trial rendered
verdict late tonight acquitting the de-
fendant Of the charge of numbering A.
b. Smith, on April 10 last. Page was
president and Smith was cashier of the
Merchants National Bank. which went
into liquidation, and the murder of Smith
was the outgrowth of the banks dificul-
ties. Page estimates his wealth near the
million mark, and there are rumors that
it was his wealth which cleared him Of
the charge of murder Smith, the dead
banker was quite a prominent man and
stood high in Masonry, which order took
a deep interest in prosecuting his slayer.
Indignation is expressed over the verdict
of the jury.
