Tried to KIN Three. at Port Huron.

Geo. j. Bradley shot his wife and
tried to kill her father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Alvah Stevens, at Port
Huron. About year ago Bradley and
his wife separated, she returning to
live with her parents Bradley called
at the house and asked his wife if she
would go back and live with him
again. She refused and Bradley drew
revolver and shot her in the face.
He then turned the revolver and tried
to kill Mrs. Stevens, but she caught
his hands and in the struggle got the
revolver away from him and rushed
out of the room. Then Bradley picked
up a hammer and started for Mr.. Ste
vens. The two men had rough
and tumble fight, during which
Stevens head and face were cut
in several places. Mrs. Stevens
succeeded in obtaining help, and
they parted the two men, but
Bradley made his escape. 1t is
thought that Mrs Bradley will re-
cover. Mr.. Stevens, however, is an
old man, and his injuries may prove
fatal.

that the revolution in Nicaragua is
part of general clerical plot for over
throwing the liberal administrations

desire to prevent the United States
gaining a stronghold in Nicaraguan
affairs, and control the Nicaragua

One of the strongest objections to the
Monroe doctrine as extended by the Sem
ate ia that it constitutes us not only the
protector of the South American States,
but also their dictator. We not only en-
gage practically to resist any aggressions
upon them by European powers, but we
undertake to say to them that they shall
not ALLEVIATE any of their territory by any
process whatever without our consent.
France and Brazil are having dispute
today about boundary line Our new
Monroe doctrine practically declares that
that dispute shall only be settled in way
that we deem proper. If these two
countries should arrange treaty of ar
bitration and the arbitrators should re-
turn a judgment in favor of France and
we should deem it inimical to our int err
ests, we should be bound to notify
France and Brazil that the decision of
the arbitrators could not be carried into
effect II England should buy the terri
tory now claimed by Venezuela, and we
deemed its alienation contrary to our in
terests this new doctrine would demand
of us that we prevent the contamination
OF the trade. In his message to Congress
President Cleveland declared that any
arrangement amicably entered into by

The question of damages to Cana
dian vessels by reason of our unlawful
seizures in Behring Sea seems to be in a
fair way for settlement. 1t will be reool-
lected that the Behring Sea commi sion
simply found that our seizures of vessels
in the sea were unlawful, but did not at
tempt to fix damages. subsequently Seo-
rotary Gresham and Sir Julian Pannce-
fots agreed upon $500, 600 as the amount
of damage, but Congress did not assent
and refused to make an appropriation.
The proposition now is to refer the ques-
tion to a mixed commission, composed of
one American commissioner and one
British commissioner, to examine and
agree upon The amount each vessel seized
Is entitled to. In case of disagreement
third commissioner or umpire to BIS
named by the Swiss Republic, will be
called in. The arrangement has received
the assent of the British government and
will doubtless be put in force.

Senator Frank Plumley, OF Northf1eld,

than he.

was United States Attorney for Vermont
1889 TO 1894, and is now State Senator.
Senator Plumley is well-known
throughout the United Statues, having
been selected by the National Repu blican
Committee as speaker to stump the State
Of Michigan for Blaine in 1884, and again
in 1883 and 1892 he spoke through the
West for the Republican presidential can
didate.
When he came out of the presidential
campaign in '92, owing to overwork he
was almost a complete nervous wreck

by long..continued mental work, and think

We understand that Senator Plumley's
cure is radical and complete, and while
we congratulate the popular Senator on
his recovery, we cannot but add that this
is distinct triumph for that marvellous
medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. which, owing to the high
standing of Senator Plumley, and the
fact that he is SO widely known, will give
DR.. Greene's Nervura a great boom.
The remedy deserves it, for it is in
truth most wonderful curer of disease,
restorative and invigorator which
stands at the present day without rival

is always sure to cure, to give health and
strength to make whoever uses it strong
and vigorous.
This most valuable remedy is not
patent madeleine and should not be classed
as such, for it is the discovery and pre-
scription OF one of our leading specialists
in nervous and chronic diseases, DR..
Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass. The doctor gives an added value
to his great remedy by allowing all who
desire to consult him without charge,

There seems to be little doubt tina.
President Cleveland and Secretary Olney
are both anxious to recognize the Cuhans
as belligerents if the latter can show that
they have met the conditions Of interna-
tional law in such cases-that. is have a
tangible government and seaport. The
former is much more easy to show than
the latter. Probably the Cubans have a
government tangible enough for the
purpose, but they have no seaport, and
though they might seize one they could
not hold it for any considerable length
of time on account Of the Spanish navy.
The last req uirement may be waived,
however, and the Gu bans get before long
the desired recognition. 1t is said that
there is a strong feeling in Congress in
favor, and if the President does not act
quickly Congress may pass a resolution
requesting him to do SO. There is some
danger that recognition may complicate
US with Spain and perhaps bring on d
war with her, though the act of recogni-
ton is not in itself a warlike act. But
Spanish i'll feeling towards us which is
already strong, would be intensified by
the recognition of the rebels as beliiger-
ents land out of it might grow some in
reference with our vessels in West In
dian waters that would bring on COL
lision between the two countries. The
matter is one that should be dealt with
cautiously. An attempt to use it to
make party capital out of would be
disgraceful, and in the end would
probably hurt much more than help the

The New Traffic Manager of the Grand
Trunk.


The Railway Age has the following:
SIN the selection OF MIR. George B.
Reeve to fill the new and highly import
ant office of general traffic manager of
the Grand Trunk railway system, with
its 2, 400 miles of line in Canada and the
United States, General Manager Hays has
made no mistake. Mr.. Reeve has been
in the service Of the com pany thirty six
years and for the last fifteen years has
been traffic manager for the Chicago
Grand Trunk. He is we'll known from
Maine to Illinois. and his official ability
as railway traffic officer with his inti-
mate knowledge Of traffic requirements
IN tina United States and Canada and of
the sources from which business can be
obtained. made him the natural occu-
pant of this important position. Mr..
Reeve has remained faithful to the SER
Woe In which he started life, refusing
tempting offers from other roads, and,
after serving the Grand Trunk under
five successive arrangements, he has the
reward of being selected to fill the posi-
tion upon the wise conduct of which the
earnings of the road largely depend. His
intimate acquaintance with trunk line
and traffic associations, and with the
handling of through business, will be es-
pecially valuable to the Grand Trunk in
the very trying position of competition in
which it is placed" Mr.. Reeve Is deem
ly interested in Portland haIbor, and it
was mainly through him the Ottawa
house was opened last summer.
