columns off, the Hibbing News

The game with Eveleth on the
Fourth was but a repetition of
the Sunday game, "a score of 81

eral hundred people were in at

took a jugshandled appearance
disappointment was depicted up
on every countenance, as a close
contest had been expected. But
the depicted disappointment was

of anguish on the phiz of the
Eveleth contingent when the
score assumed a proportionate
ratio of three, four and five to
one, and the realization of the
fact that their vaunted glory was
forever ;. vanquished elected
groans and CHASTITY smiles.
In both games the Virginia's

play many games of this sort, as
they will be apt to quit ball play.

London. Dec 1.-The Hon. Thomas Bayard. United States ambassador, pre- sided at a dinner which was given this evening in aid of a fund of the Locomo- tive Engineers Benevolent society. MT. Bayard was enthusiastically received when he arose to address the assem- blaze. He declared that he could say in all sincerity that he had never attended a dinner in England with such warm sympathy. There was no party there who had national distinction. He dwelt upon the international dependence of diff ferent callings of society accentuatng the indissolubls tic of humanity the world over and declaring that while par ties and forms of government might be useful. the sense of human brotherhood was stronger and better than all else He would be glad. he said, if he could be able to do anything to create a better feeling among the different classes. If the hand workers could realize the feel ing of the brain workers toward them it would make them the stronger and better.
 Several members of parliament and number of representatives of American trade were present.

 Greenville, Dec. 3.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-At the city election held here yesterday pr. J. c. Kendrck was elected mayor and Capt R. Y. Porter John Grant, J. Lee Long, Henry Leich- ten and Claude Hamilton, Esq. were elected councilmen. These are all pro- gressive men, and will give the city a good government for the next two years
 The Schubert quartette will be here on the 9th instant to fill their engagement with the Young Mems Christian associa- ton. being one of the attractions secured for their lyceum course this season.
 Judge Zell Gaston of this city is pres ident of the Alabama State Poultry and Pet Stock association, and says that the association will hold it's first exhibition in Montgomery from the 10th to the 18th in- stant, inclusive, and that 1t bids fair to be a big success, as they have assurances from a large number of poultrymen from all parts of the country that they will send their birds and pet stock, A sufficient sum of money has been raised to pay all premiums. Those wishing in formation and premium lists can obtain the same by writing to the secretary, MT. G. F. w. Keynton, at Montgomery.
 The majority of democrats here, re- gardless of their financial views, believe the best thing for harmony Is to nomi- nate Joe Johnston for governor We are glad to believe that the Advertiser and Register have both lost their power to further injure the party. About the best thing they can do now to keep up the fight would be to put up the editor of the Register for governor and Frank Glass for United States senator, and the postmaster at Montgomery for congress. They would come about as near winning with this ticket as any they are apt to

 Transacts Much Important Work.


 Richmond Va, Dec A meeting of the historical committee of the grand camp of Confederate Veterans of Vir- ginia was held in the senate chamber this afternoon and much work of interest to the southern people was done. The first business of the committee was a dis cussion of the accuracy of Mrs. William sons "Child's Life of Gen. Robert E. Lee" It was finally decided, on motion of General Brander, to have the commit tee examine the book carefully, and if it is found worthy to recommend it's adop- tion by the state schools.

Opinions of the Message.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-The Berlin evening newspapers published articles comment- ing upon President Cleveland's message.
 Referring to the presidents allusion to Samoa and the insurance companies the Tageblatt calls attention to the fact that it has always uttered warning against the adoption of too sharp measures against American insurance companies. Those papers friendly to Germany's pol fey in the colonies express hope that Ger many will seize the occasion to obtain sole control oyer Samoa.
 The Vossiche Zeitung discusses the message as MT. Cleveland,s swan song for it says he has no party behind him.
 The Fressmige Zeitung says that the Volks party will move in the reichstag at the earliest possible moment the adop- tion of temporary bill to protect Ger mans who desire to form societies from falling a prey to P1ussian laws relating to associations by which the socialist so- cietieS are closed.
 The Cologne Gazette as the result of inquiries in official circles reaffirmed that cabinets and diplomats alike are unanimous in insisting on the admission of additional guardships into the Bos- phorus. It adds that nothing is known of the rumored British ultimatum.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Diplomats Are Awaiting Fresh Instructions 3 Regarding the Admission of More
 Ships to the Bosphorus.

5 London, Dec 4.-A dispatch to the Standard from Constantinople says that the question of admission of additional gunships into the Bosphorus is in sus- pense and all diplomatic action in the matter is at complete standstill for the moment. Some of the ambassadors are still awaiting fresh instructions from their governments. All of the diplomats are of the belief that the exercise of stronger pressure by far than that which has hitherto been brought to bear on the porte will be necessary to induce the sul- tan to yield, and it is understood that such action will be taken upon receipt of replies of ambassadors of the powers. The sultan has made a personal appeal to the Russian, Austrian, German and French governments that they agree not to press their demands, but without sue cess

A BOSTON SCANDAL.
A Young Lawyer and Mrs. Francis L. Higgin- son Are Missing and Are Supposed to
 Have Gone Abroad.

Boston, Dec. 4.-Mrs. Francis L. Hig- ginson, wife of the famous banker and social favorite, has forsalen her home and family, leaving no word behind her. She has been gone over. two weeks. There is also missing from the same social set MT. James ". Smith, a young lawyer.
 Mrs. Higginson is within few months of 40 years of age, and the mother of four children. Her husband is about ten years her senior.
 Smith is only 26 years of age. The two have been friends in society for some months past, and the young mans devo- ton to the matron has caused considera- ble comment.
 Mrs. Higginson left here for New York Saturday. saying that she intended talk ing in the horse show, and that she would be back in two or three days.
 Smith went to New York two weeks ago. He said he was going to meet his mother who resides at the Hotel Savoy in New York, and that he would be back on Thanksgiving day. This is the last definite information concerning him.
 It is said that Smith met Mrs. Higgn- son in New York and attended the horse show with her, and that both of them stopped at the Waldorf at least a part of the time. It is believed that Mrs. Hg- ginson and young Smith took passage on the steamship Columbia for Genoa No- yember 23. Society is much wrought up over the dual disappearance. and the families of the principals are heart-bro- ken.
 It is understood that the steamer Col umbia will be met at Genoa by agents of the Higginsons to determine whether or not the belief is well founded
 It is not thought likely that an arrest will be made if the couple should be found, but the Higginsons will not say what they propose to do.
 Young Smith, it is said, had very little money when he left home Mrs. Higgin- son did not have any great amount of ready cash with her. but she did have some valuable jewelry. None of her friends can account for her conduct ex- cept on the ground that she has become mentally unbalanced
