 Napoleon.

How Prince Louis Napoleon was killed by the Zulus June l. 1879. is told graphically in the book by Sir Evelyn Wood. who took part in that war. The little party which the prince accompanied was surprised and at. tackled. Sir Evelyn writes: The Zulus in pursuit ran first after the two white soldiers who were on the Hanks
 three or four men. headed by Labanga
 followed the prince. His horse had jumped just as he was mounting. and his sword fell out of it's scabbard. He was very active. and was vaulting on his horse in motion when the wallet on the front of the saddle broke away, and he fell to the ground. being at this time only SO yards behind the (Brit
 ish) fugitives. There were seven men who actually fought the prince. When Langalebele, pursuing the fugitives. first saw Labanga. he was running away from the prince, who was rush. ing at him. Labanga. crouching in the grass. threw an assagai at him. The first assagai struck in the princes thigh. and. withdrawing 1t from the wound. he kept his foes at bay for some minutes. In the natives words: 'He fought like lion: he fired two shots. but without effect: and I threw an assagai at him winch struck him. as I said at the time. but I always allowed Labanga's claim to have killed him. for his assssai hit the prince iD the left shoulder. mortal wound"

PRETTY GIRLS AND GOWNS.
St Mary's Alumni Reception One of
 the Social Events of the Year.

The annual reception of St Mary's alumni was held last evening in Leavenworth hall and was one of the best events ever given under the aus pices of the members of this organi- zation. Although the hall was not decorated to any extent the number of handsome gowns that were to be seen made such an effect that no other decorations was necessary. An excellent dance program had been arranged and the music was of the kind that made dancing enjoyable. The floor was also in good shape and the arrangements showed that the committee had left nothing undone to make the reception success in every way.
 This annual dance seems to be more of reunion than anything else, for large number of those present last evening were those that are home from school for the holidays. Among those present were a couple of Uncle Sans military men. Seery Hayes, student at West Point, and Harry Rose. member of the United States cavalry, who is spending a few days at his home on Maple street. The committee of arrangements was: James White, chairman; Kevin Fitz- patrick, James Brennan. Michael Pendy, John Hutchinson. Henry Law Tor and James Cosgrove.

 this city during the last three days.
 The prisoners, who include thirty
 three women, are charged with rev olutionary activity and illegal cleo
 tion agitation Further arrests and
 searches arc proceeding vigorously.

 cision to abstain from acts of terror ism during the electoral campaign. The leaders of the revolutionists by
 an overwhelming majority have re- solved to ceaselessly pursue their just campaign of removal intimiia- tion being the only effective weapon against the iniquitous regime" The
 more moderate members of the revo- lutionary party have been won over to the side of the extremists through
 the action of the authorities in pro-
 hibiting electoral meetings of the op-
 position parties.

HIGHER HACK FARE.
The Local Cabmen Will Raise the
 Prices Next Year.

Although there is no association ln this city composed of hack owners, nevertheless, because of the increased expense of carrying on this kind of business the hack owners have agreed on a new schedule of prices which will go into effect on Monday, De- cember 31. on which evening couple of important dances will be held in this city. Although the new prices look big, the haekmen claim that they are not as yet as high as those in vogue in Hartford and New Haven.
 After the datee mentioned, car riage for the theater will cost S3 within the inside district, that is the inside district of the hackmcn. On the outside district the theater car riage will cost 8 for a call.
 Reception and dances will be 8 for q carriage until l o'clock, after that time $4. Hacks for driving will cost $1 for the first hour and J0c for every additional hours. For shop ping the price will be S15O for tho first and $1 for every hour thereafter. Between the hours of 630 a. m. and 10 p. n. 1t will cost passenger soc to ride from the station to any place within the city. Twenty-Five cents for every additional passenger. The section included in the fifty cent trip lies between Woodlawn terrace, Crown street. Round Hill street. Wol- cott street. the Dublin street station, Porer street and the west end bridge.
 T. F. Lunny of Waterbury Rubber Tire company stated to-day that the cost of running the hacking business has increased to such an extent that the owners are compelled to raise the prices. Tt costs almost twice as much to keep our turnouts in repair as 1t did couple of years ago and something had to be done so as we could make a living. Our help arc being paid more than ever before. but they earn all they get as it costs them more to live than n year ago. There is no money in the business at the present rates. consequently the ad- vance.

According to James H. Filling, chairman of the board of aldermen, the committee selected by Congress man George l.. LiIley to look up I candidate for the position of post master to succeed J. H. Guernsey, has asked him to take the postmaster ship of this city. MT Filling called on Mir Guernsey this afternoon and mo- tified him of the action of the com- mittee selected by Mir Lilley.
 Mr Filling could not be located, and MT Guernsey did not care to en- ter into discussion of the matted. All I know is, said MT Guernsey, IS that Mir Filling came to me this af- ternoon and stated that the postmast- ership had been offered to him. Fur thermore I do not care to enter into any newspaper discussions"

TROUBLE
 BREWING Employees of Western Railroads Demand an Increase of IS
 Per Cent
ROADS IN BAD SHAPE
And Cannot Afford tO Give inc In. crease Asked For.--MaRagers Awaiting the Next Move Oi
 inc Trainmen.

Chicago. Dec 2S-The probability of serious trouble between the 43 western railroads and their employees who have demanded 15 per cent il- crease in wages became more likely yesterday. The manager of the roads affected met and decided that no ac- tion would be taken until the train- men made fresh overtures.
 Meanwhile representatives of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers from each of the roads met await reply to their demands. They had known that the managers were to meet and awaited an expected invi- tation to a conference. but none was received Three waiting meeting of the two brotherhoods were held dur ing day. The evening meeting broke up with the threat that something would be doing pretty. quick if they were not recognized"
 Chairman Benjamin Thomas of the hoard of managers committee re- fused to make any statement as to what had been done at the meeting The trouble seems to be that many of the roads on which the demands have been made can i'll afford 10 grant any increase in wages or in crease operating expenses in other ways.
 An increase of 10 per cent in the wages of all the trainmen, 1t Is said ....,,tI soi.o n may thu small remaining chances of dividends and these roads would prefer to take chances With I strike rather than grant the Increased wages without making an effort to ward off the blow.
 Another meeting of the managers probably will be held to-day. at which decided action in the matter may be taken. Meanwhile the repre- sentatIvcs of the trainmen's union will remain and await developments.
