Leffing we'll says that he met Mrs. Southgate at the Hotel Waldorf with a party of friends. He says that he had not been long in the Southgate house before he found that Southgate was a hard drinker and abused his wife shameful ly. It was because Lefingwell in formed Mrs. Southgate's parents of these facts, and also because he had refused to assist Southgate in some of his financial schemes that the suit was brought. MT. Leffingwell left New Haven yesterday afternoon and will be in court to answer to the suit against him on the day of the trial if the suit is pressed.

The freight and baggage are mostly covered with wa ter.
 The cause of the accident could not be learned.
 It was feared that when the water rushed into the furnaces of the boiler she would blow up but the firemen had drawn the fires and thereby avert ed such catastrophe.
 The sinking of the vessel caused great excitement along the river front. The Rosedale is an old boat, and was valued at about $100O00. She was built at Norfolk, Va, in 1877 and registered 939 gross, is 216 feet long, S4,2 feet beam and 10 feet deep.

A Two Hundred Thousand Dollar Blaze
 at Norfolk, Va.


 at Norfolk, Va.
 Norfolk, Va, Sept. 3.-The large five- story brick plough foundry and imple- ment factory of s. R. White & Brother, No. 216 Water street, was burned last night. In a very short space of time a number of buildings i'll the lane leading to Main street caught fire, and the flames spread rapidly from one tene- ment to another and consumed the en- tire block At midnight the Union Stock Yard, on the east side of Neb- raska street, caught fire and was soon destroyed. The flames from this build ing communicated with the row of houses adjoining the stock yard on the south, and soon they were also burn ing. One hundred families, white and colored residing in the burned district have been made homeless by the con- f1agration.
 A change in the wind saved the prop erty of the Old Dominion Steamship company and that of the Clyde line. The loss is estimated at $2OO, 900; insur- ance not known.
 At 1:30 this morning about twenty- five houses had been burned, and the fire was not yet wholly under control. Property on the north and south of East Main street was still in danger.

Who is the home merchant?
lie is the man who helps pay for
Inc streets upon which you walk;
for the schools in which your
children, or perhaps you, have
been educated; he helps to keep
up the church in which you
worship. He is the man who
builds a home which enhances
the value of your property.
Nearly every subscription paper
that is passed has his name upon
il; he is the one who cannot afford
to swindle you. Self-interest, if
nothing else, would prevent this /;
he bears his share of the burden
of this government and stays with
YOU in sunshine and darkness, in
days of prosperity and adversely.
These are but a few of the
reasons why your patronage
should be given to the home
merchandise.
