NEW YORK, March 10.-President
Cleveland has seemingly abandoned
the idea of assembling congress In
extra session during the summer Of
1895. Instead, an intimate friend Of
the Cleveland family says, the prcsi-
dent is looking forward TO = period of
rest and recuperation at his country
place ON Buzzard's bay, which may ex-
tend we'll into the dog days Mrs.
Cleveland, 1t Is said, will leave Wash

hsr accouchement Us her health will
permit, and II is expected that she will
remain In Massachusetts until the fall.
The Cleveland cottage has undergone a
number Of changes in the past few
months and is being prepared for per-
manent occupancy The residents In
the vicinity Of Gray Gables have fully
made up their minds regarding the
presidents future. 1t Is accepted by
them that he will, upon the expiration
Of his term, settle down permanently
on his country place, and become a cit
izcn OF Massachusetts in the full sense
Of the term. This opinion is held, too,
by many Of Mr.. cleveland's personal
friends in New York, who, however,
believe that he will retain his office in
this city and spend at least q portion
Of his time here.

were torn and scattered about the
building. Her shoes had evidently
been removed, probably by herself
preparatory TO going to bed, when sur

had evidently been assaulted before
she was strung up and everything
points toward premcditatcd plan Tor
the consummation Of the dastardly
deed.
