A novel legal point is involved in a
case now on trial in St. Louis. In Au-
gust, 1896, Freeman o. Smith, COM
mercial traveller residing at Little
Rock, bought pair of shoes that were
too tight for him. They chafed the
skin of his little toe, but he continued
to wear them, and for while continue
to wear them, and for a while tried to
cure the sore without the aid of
physician. The toe became worse and
a doctor was called in, but even his
skill was unavailing, and Smith died OF
blood poisoning. Among other assets
of the dead mans estate. was an acct
dent insurance policy. The company
issuing it refused to pay the insurance
on the ground that the blood poisoning
was not due to accident, but to neglect.

The Bank of England can scarcely
keep the gold from coming to Amer
lea by raising the discount rate or by
advancing the selling price of eagles
and bars. So long as England keeps on
buying enormously of American prod
ucts and selling little in return gold
will come this way-until such time as
America gets ready to invest surplus
funds in England as England used to
DO over here.

Bowmanville, o. r., November 49,
4 most extraordinary case of reli Elous
mania is reported from a farm house
near the Long Sault. There, for num-
Der of years, resided ELIZA Rice, his
wife and his fifteen children. The eld-
est son, Louis, % years of age, receatly
became insane and announced himself
as the prince of the Sand Hills" and
declared that Christ had appointed him
to reform the world. The mania ex-
tended to the father, mother and the
other children, who neglected the farm
and spent their time singing and pray
ing. Recently the father conceived
the idea that Louis was pursued by
the devil and that it must be beaten
out of him. Louis was knocked down
with the leg of a chair and Mr.. and
Mrs. Rice and two of the sons pounded
him into insensbility. When this was
accomplished they were satisfied that
the devil was driven out. The next
move was to celebrate the Feast of the
Passover and one of the little children
was to be sacrificed as the pascal
lamb" One Of the sons, mere boy,
told this to clergyman, who inform
ed the police. On visiting the farm
they found Rice and his son Louis
suffering from intense mania and had
them removed to Kingston insane asy-
lum. The doctor thinks that the other
members will recover.

Ignace Paderewski, the eminent plan
list, has always been a source of bound
less copy" to newspaper men in this
country and others, And it has been
his lot to have sensational news con-
corning himself transmitted broadcast
at all times. The faithful CD cable is
now responsible for two new items con-
corning him. One is that he has be-
come as bald as billiard ball. which
would necessitate the Intervention of a
skilled wigmaker ii he wants to re-
tain his pull" with the women, and the
other is that he is hopelessly insane.
The probability is that neither are true,
but what is to be said of the unkind
scribe who, taking up the badness part
of the story, claims boldly that
'Paddy" has always worn a wig!

Toledo, O., Nov. 14.-Frank Craw-
ford, alias Harry or Harvey Davis,
broke Jail here at an early hour in the
morning by saving his way through
the iron grating at the top of the jail
and then letting himself to the ground
with quilt. Davis was held for trial
on the charge of numbering Marshal
Baker of North Baltimore, o., last
August. He was transferred from the
Bowling Green Jail to this place to
better insure his captivity. Crawford
evidently had accomplices on the out
side as the saving was done both from
within and from without. There were
eight iron bars 2x111s inches cut
through. The iron was soaped SO that
the saws would make no noise. The
escape was made while two guards
were on duty. This is the third jail
delivery that has taken place here
within the past eighteen months.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent !
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90, '96.


Senator Davis, of Minnesota, has
received many congratulations for
the vigorous Americanism which
stands up in every line of the
Monroe doctrine resolution which
has been reported to the senate
from the committee on foreign re-
lations. The resolution was writ
ten by Senator Davis, he having
been appointed subcommittee of
one to perform that duty, and the
resolution itself furnishes the best
evidence that the task could not
have been put in better hands.
There are few timid men in con-
gress, mostly democrats, who are
little bit afraid that the resolu-
ton goes too far, especially that
portion of it which declares the
United States to be the sole Judge
when it comes to determining the
question Of infringement of the
Monroe doctrine, but congress is
practically unanimously in favor
Of the assertions contained in the
resolution, and there is no doubt
that the resolution will be adopted
by both senate and house, and that
even the timid individuals referred
to will record their votes in it's
favor when put to the test. The
sentiment throughout the country
is so overwhelmingly in favor of
the stand taken, and prominent
men md powerful newspapers
have raised their voices in such
unison in favor Of calling England
down, that even the most chicken
hearted democrats dare not oppose
the resolution. G
There is practically no change
as to the status of the house tariff
bill which is tied up in the senate
finance committee. Something
may develop at this weeks regu.
lar meeting Of the committee thai
will result in getting the bill re-
ported to the senate in some shape
although there is nothing certain
about it.
Rumors Of an intended specia
Cuban message from Mr.. Cleve
land to congress have been float
ing around for several days, bu
no definite information on tn,
subject can be obtained eithe
at the white house or the state de
partment. Meanwhile there i
considerable adverse common
heard upon the slowness of Score
tary Olney in furnishing the Gu
ban information called for by
resolution adopted by the hous
several weeks ago. 1t is not at al
evident what he is waiting for, ex
cept to delay favorable action O

have no idea about these matters
Whoever is nominated by the re-
publican convention will be elec'
| ted. The democrats haven't one
chance in million to win, 1t
doesn't matter what kind of a
platform they promulgate or who
they nominate.
The general pension appropfia-
ton bill was passed by the house
| Just fifty days earlier in the ses-
sion than the same bill passed
either of the last two democratic
houses. Several of the proposed
amendments to the bill were ruled
out under points of order raised by
a democrat, but they will all be
covered by the Picker pension
bill, which is now in the hands of
the committee on invalid pensions,
but which will soon be reported to
the house and passed by that body.
The Picker bill has been approved
by the legislative committee of the
G. A. r.
Senator Butler, of N. c., has lost
the benefit of the good impression
his appearance made when he en-
tered the senate. The reason is
the same that has killed so many
other promising men in both
branches of congress. He talks
when he has nothing to say, just
for the pleasure OF hearing his own
voice.
Democrats open My acknowledge
that their committee broke the old
custom of the party in power hold
ing its national convention first
solely with the ho; that the re-
publicans will male some mistake
in their candidate or platform
which the demoCi ats, by holding
their convention several weeks
later, will be able to profit by.
This merely shows the desperate
straits to which the poor old Cleve-
land-ridden democratic party is
reduced. Within less than six
months of the hoiding of their
they h. no idea what
they intend doing, further than to
take advantage Of any loophole
that may be left by he republican
platform, to put forward some sort
of plea that may bamboozle the
voters. But the impression is
abroad that the bambooZ-
ling of voters by a democratic
platform will never again be sue
cessful. 1t was done once too Of
ten. This bit of cowardice is strik-
ingly characteristic of the demo-
cratic party as well as in striking
contrast with the record Of the re-
publican party under similar cir
During its long con-
troll of the government the repub-
lican party never failed once to hold
it's national convention first, but
the republican party has always
known where it stood upon every
great question, and has never at
tempted to straddle questions or
to make platforms which may be
to mean anything or
according to the con-
struer, which makes quite diff
ference. REP.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL BREAK.-Martta
Hughes, colored, an inmate of the work
house, attempted to make her escape
from that place yesterday. Overseer
Smith, however, was on the lookout for
such movement, and soon overlook
the fugitive and carried her back. This
morning he suggested to the Mayor
that balls and chains should be utilized
at the work house. The Hughes wo-
man was one of the inmates of Fourth
ward disorderly house which was raid
ed few nights ago on complaint Of the
neighbors. She was sent up under the
provisions of the vagrant act and has
been anxious to pay fine in order to
be released, but the Mayor has refused
to impose fine, his past experience
with her and others of her class is that
the only way to break up the disorder.
ly conduct they are guilty of is to send
them to the work house as Migrants.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The publishers Of the GAZETTE have de-
termined TO reduce its price, the Daily from
SIX to FIVE and The Tri-weekly from Four
to THREE DOLLARS PEP ANNUM, this rate to
go into effect on The first of next January
The object Of this will be to bring the GAZETTE
within the reach of all, placing the Daily
edition at the small sum of Ten CENTS PER
WEEK. As it is, the paper is regarded as the
sine qua non of most households in Alexandria
and the surrounding country, and this reduc-
ton, it is believed, will eventually render it
equally indispensable in others. In the year
to come, as in the past every exertion will be
used to make the GAZETTE attractive, and to
I'll it with all the current news.
