APPEARANCES DECEIVE.
An Illustrative Instance RecentIy Wit
E messed In New York.

p &2 messed In New York.
Ayoung man who walked up Fifth
avenue the other evening wore silk
hat and an extremely long paddock,
coat. He walked in a listless way, as
If he had nothing in particular to do,
and as if he would not do ANYTHING
were there something to be done. He
seemed to take little interest in any,
thing. unless it were to avoid the little
puddles at. the street crossings and to
keep his shoes from getting splashed.
As the young man walked along he
heard loud shouting up the avenue,
and, looking in that direction in a
calm and deliberate way, he saw that
cab horse was running away. The
horse was coming down the avenue at
lively rate, and the driver, who was
chnging desperately to his box, was
yelling like Comanche Indian.
when horse runs away in New
York, says the Tribune of that city.
there is an earnest desire on the part
OF all the people in the street to take
hand in the proceedings. What
happened in this case was just what
usually happens Two or three men
would run out into the street, raise
their arms, wave them violently and
shout. The horse would move little
faster, the cabman would yell more
Justify, and those who had run out in
to the street would add their cries to
the general hubbub. This happened
at regular intervals.
But the calm young man who strolled
along In SO leisurely n manner was evil
IDENTIFY not going to interfere with a
runaway horse. He stood on the edge
OF the sidewalk watching the galloping
animal come tearing along. Of sud
den, however, a change came over him.
When the horse had nearly reached
him his form Strengthened and he be-
came alert. At the minute when the
cab was opposite him he swung out
into the muddy street, and, running
like deer, was almost instantly Mt
the horses head. They ran neck and
neck for few seconds. Then the
young mans arm shot out swiftly, and
he had the plunging animal by the bit.
AS he ran he drew down the horses
head until the animal had either to
stop running or stumble and break its
neck. 1t stopped running. ,..
In the crowd which pushed into the
street was an impulsive old gentleman,
who nervously threw open the door of
the cab. He assisted q man who was
inside to alight, and then. seizing him
by the am, led him up to the young
man WHO had stopped the horse. He
was scolding the driver in mild voice
for being SO careless as to allow his
horse to get the bit between it's teeth.
There" cried the excitable old
gentleman, in IN admiring voice, sis the
young man to whom you are indebted
for saving your life.".
But the young "life saver" said, with
almost q drawl: "No thanks are neces-
sary. It's very easy matter to stop
a runaway horse" Then he stooped
over and rolled up his trousers, bowed
to the man whom he had saved" and,
regaining the sidewalk, sauntered up
the avenue.

/ WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The events
of the past few days leave little room
for doubt that the financial question is
to be q prominent topic in the senate
during the present session, and there
are some facts which point to state Of
affairs which may render the session
one of great interest. 1t is understood
that the instructions of the Democratic
senatorial caucus do not go to the >ex-
tent of indorsing the recommendations
of the president and Secretary Carlisle.
but only require the finance committee
10 take these suggestions under consid-
GRAFTON as they would any other sug-
gestions bearing upon the question
which might come from a creditable
source. There is little doubt that the
finance committee will take the matter
up, but with what result is not so
easily stated.
Tn the senate at large the plan ap-
pears to commend itself to some Of the
Southern senators largely because of
its provision for the removal Of the
state bank tax.
M a bill on the lines suggested should
reach the senate it would be opposed
BY the extreme free silver men who be-
neve that il law containing such pro-
visions should be enacted it would
prove death blow to silver.

BLIXTpS CONFESSION.
The Engineer of the ozark Flats ADJ
=. mits That He Killed Catherine
Cling. @ ~
MADE TWO CONFESSIONS,
The Deed Done at HayWard's lnstiga-
tion, With $4,000 as the
..a.4.. Reward. ..
MADE TWO CONFESSIONS,

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 10.-Claus Blixt
has made confession that demon
strates beyond refutation that Harry
Hayward stands foremost in the annals
of crime. He is an arch fiend in the
gnise Of human shape, a man utterly
devoid OF sensibility, whose hearts
blood is like to that OF a fish, q veritable
monster, and the Hennepin county au-
thorities were wise when they removed
him beyond the corporation limits of
Minneapolis. Blixt, by his confession,
establishes beyond doubt that Harry
Hayward instigated the murder, and
that Blixt fired the fatal shot and hur.
ried back to the city.
Blixt confesses that he killed Cathar-
inc Cling himself, and that Hayward
planned the crime. Several weeks be-
fore the murder he says Hayward came
TO him and broached the matter. 1t
was first proposed that Hayward kill
her, and Blixt should
Make Away with the Remains
after the murder. But when the fatal
night arrived Hayward's coward heart
asserted itself and it was decided that
Blixt should kill her. The affair had
been carefully discussed, and Hayward
had informed the engineer exactly how
to fire the shot.
On Monday Blixt took car ON the
Hennepin avenue line, getting off at
Kenweod boulevard ON Lowry hill
Arrangements had been previously
made whereby he was to meet Hay
ward there, and In short time he
heard him whistle. They stopped tc
converse for few moments, and, as
per arrangement, Catherine Cling drew
up Ia carriage. Hayward Had naadt
the woman believe she was to meet
some person who could furnish s'green
goods" and consequently she
Had All Her Money with Her.
When she drove up she asked Hay
ward if he was ready to go with her,
but he remarked that there was q pos,
sibility of detection if he went along
with her in the carriage. Blixt, he
| said, would drive her to the appointed
| place near Lake Calhoun, and he HAY
ward) would take car and meet them
Accordingly she acquiesced by driv
ing with the engineer. Hayward left
them and went back to the Ozark, and
from there to Mr.. Bartleson's residence
arranging for his alibi. Blixt rode
along until he reached the intersection
of Lake street and Excelsior road
Catherine appeared uneasy and seyera
times asked for Harry. Blixt told hel
he woula soon make his appearance
She then turned her head to look back
! at the same time remarking that she
Thought it queer he did not come. This

Wairapa, bound from Sidney, N. s. W.,
to this port, and which was wrecked
the night of Oct. rs, on Great Barrier

been found guilty of negligence, but

To the little ones, whose festival 1t

ligious Significance of Christmas Day
has as much ts do with their happi-

receive. "Peace on earth and good

which brought peace on earth and
