IOKDOX, November 22. Copyrighted. Mr. Parnell is just now the object of what Is probably the most venomous and un scrupulous attack ever directed against a public man in this country. The proceedure and methods of his assailants have practi cally bo parallel in British history, for even the despicable conspiracy of which Pigott was the central figure jnst now takes sec ond place in the shameful series of plots to ruin the Irish leader and the cause of home rule. One might have been excused for think ing that the vocabulary of vituperation was almost exhausted in the prolonged and fu rious babel which followed the publication in the Timet of the forged letter; but the Tory lexicon proves to be fuller and fouler than one could have supposed to be pos sible. "These so-called leaders of the Irish people are a set of as despicable miscreants Uever defiled any public platform in the world," shrieks Colonel Saunderson, M. P., the friend of Salisbury and the trusted chief of the landlord Orange party in Ireland. "If the Irish race," howls the 2kthodist Times, the organ of smug mugwump dis sent, "deliberately select as their recognized representative an adulterer of Parnell's type, they are as incapable of self-government as their bitterest enemies have as serted. 80 obscene a race as, in those cir cumstances, ther would prove themselves to be, would obviously be unfit for anything except a military despotism." Some More Bitter Attack. "The serpent which, when uncaged from Kilmninham," raves th Sheffield Tele Braph, the mouthpiece of two members of Salisbury's Government, "fastened its tor turing fangs upon the very hand that had uncaged him and left its slimy trail upon the domestic Eden into which he had crept; this living scandal, this convicted fraud, this being whose moral leprosy taints the air, this thing has been swimming in a sea of falsehood." It is not to be wondered at that the gen erous Irish people, amazed, horrified, dis gusted at this shamefully impudent attack upon the leader whom they have trusted so long and to whom they are under so many obligations, should fling prudence to the winds and passionately declare that Par nell shall not relinquish the helm which he hasjgripped so resolutely, held so tenaciously and manipulated so skillfully during the long years of the stormiest political weather. But truth to tell, this blind love for the leader is not calculated to help the cause. No man skilled in British political meteor ology can fail to see signs of a coming storm. The non-conformist, middle and lower-middle classes, whose defection has before now temporarily reduced the great Liberal party to impotence, have been deeply stirred in their moral depths by the result of the O'Shea-Parnell divorce case, No Excuse With. Them. The people of whom those classes are made up will hear of no excuse or palliation where a breach of the moral code has been committed, and above all, admitted. Par nell might have gone on the witness stand, denied his sin, and all Ireland and not a few Englishmen would have taken his word, had CO witnesses sworn against him. But here' we have the rare spec tacle of a self-confessed sinner, and there is heard eadly the general cry of "stone him?" The palpably political character of the outcry against Parnell counts for nothing now, and there is much reason to fear will have little if any weight at the polls. "The chapel bell" is ringing all over the land, and in the deafening aggregate of sound the voices of the advocates of Christian charity are lost. Regarded from the point of view of politi cal expediency, Parnell's duty is to with draw temporarily from the leadership of the Irish Parliamentary party. The members of that party, and the Irish people generally, have emphatically declared against such a course, and few people know or ever will know how keenly that generous forgiveness has touched the heart of the outwardly im passive statesman to whom it has been ex tended. Practical Indorsement of ParneU. It amounts, practically, to a renewal of credentials, and if it were backed, as has been suggested, by an appeal by Parnell to the electors of Cork and his re-election, the indorsement would be complete enough to satisly Gladstone and most of the Liberal politicians. Even as things stand, the Lib eral leaders, if required, will offer no objec tion to working with him in the future with as much energy, although perhaps with less cordiality, than in the past. As regards the House of Commons, there would be little difficulty, and if Ireland clone had to be consulted, there would be practically none. But the political situation has vastly changed since the days when the Irish party in the British House of Com mons "was a guerilla force and used the weapons of irregular warfare, thanks ft Gladstone and. Parnell, There has been a close political alliance between Irish Nationalists and British Liberals for four years past. The powerful factor in that alliance is the religious Non Conformist section of the British electorate, many of whose recognized leaders in the pulpit, on the platform and in the press have declared that Parnell must retire. Their right to make such a demand may be questioned, but no true friend of Ireland can fail to see that its refusal would result in the loss of thousands of votes at the next general election. Home Rule Cause Endangered. The dissentient Liberals, whose return to the home-rule fold, as proved by nearly every bye election, has been the chief cause of an almost unbroken series of electoral triumphs, would find fresh cause or excuse for renewed apostacy. They would be joined by a small army of ultra-moral mal contents, and the slow, dreary work of con version would have to be recommenced. It is true that the blow to home rule wonldnot be a mortal one, but the cause would be sorely stricken, and a period ot conval escence might extend over a generation. The scandal is openly declared by the Tories to be a prodigious piece of luck, and they are utilizing it without a shadow of scruple. Many of them, including all the professional caucus bosses without excep tion, are urging the Government to dissolve Parliament with the least possible delay before the Liberals can recover from the temporary confusion into which they have been thrown. Some members of the Gov ernment are known to be in favor of an im mediate resoi to fighting tactics, in the be lief that the enemy will never be found in such a state of unpreparedness for battle as at present. The Liberal party managers are unde niably nervously apprehensive of what may be in store for them, and all political sec tions are anxiously awaiting the next Cab inet Council, which will be held on Monday and at which the momentous decision may be made. acceptedthTresult. ONE IRISH LAND DISPUTE THAT WAS SET TLED BY ARBITRATION. An Award Greatly In Favor of the Tenants 'Wisely and Humanely Agreed to by a London Landlord Company Balfour Still Making Promises of BelleC fBT CABLE TO THE DISFATCH.l London, November 22. Most of the evictions on the Olphert estates in County Donegal have now been carried out. Some of the tenants have found shelter in the poor house, and others are established in tempo rary dwellings built by the National League. The tenants are practically ruined and the landlord is reduced to the ignoble position of living on the charity of the rich men who forced him to show no merey. Fortunately, all the Irish landlords are not like Olphert and his aiders and abettors. Months ago the Drapers' Company, one of the powerful trade gnilds of London, who own large es tates in Ulster, had disputes with its ten ants. The company is rich enough to allow its land in Ireland to lay waste for CO years if need be, but the officers wisely and hu manely agreed to refer the disputes to arbi tration. The company selected Thomas Dickson, M. P., as arbitrator and the ten ants chose T. M. Healy, M. P. These two busy men found time to make an exhaustive inquiry, the result of which was made Known this afternoon in the Court House at Maghera. Toe arbitrators' award has wiped out 17,000 worth of arrears of rent and law costs, and the tenants are to purchase their holdings upon terms equivalent .to an Immediate reduction of 40 to CO per cent in their rents, with the contingent advantage of owning their farms at the end of 49 years. The company might havJ been excused for making wry faces over such an award, but its agent in court to-day expressed complete satisfaction and joined with the representatives of the tenants in warm thanks to the arbitrators, both of whom belong to the much maligned Nationalist party. Mr. Balfour has made several speeches at Liverpool this week, remarkable for the frankness with which he admitted the exist ence of distress in Ireland and for the confi dence with which he guaranteed the efficacy of the Government relief schemes. But although winter is upon Ireland, not one of the promised railways has been commenced. Gladstone is in excellent health and comes to London for the Parliamentary session on Mondav. EOTAL HATCH-MAXma. Knmored Alliance Between the Prince of 'Wales and Comte de Paris Families, IBI CABLE TO TUB DISPATCH. London, November 22. A curious ru mor comes from Borne that the recent visit of Princess Helene with General and Mme. de Charette to the Vatican was connected with a project for the marriage of this charming and accomplished daughter of the Comte de Paris to the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, otherwise Prince Albert Victor, ot Wales.the object of the visit being to bring about, if possible, some arrangement by which the Princes' might withdraw, in ac cordance with the English act ol settlement, from the Catholic Church. The rumor is improbable on the face of it, But it orig inates in quarters where the truth should be known, and is coupled with the story that the Prince and Princessupon their mar riage would proceed to Ireland to tako up their abode as Viceroy and Vicereine of that island. The intimate relations between the Prince and Princess of 'Wales and the Comte and Comtesse de Paris have certainly been drawn closer than ever during the laBt pear, and if the grandson of the Queen is to marry a Catholic princess at all it would be impossible to find in Europe a wife more womanly, charming and accomplished than this youncer sister of the Queen of Portugal. 8TABTUNG SUGGESTION.

HIT DnHLAP'S CABLE COStrATTT.! Pakis, November 22. Eyraud, the gen tleman who, with rtLaBelle Gabrielle Bompard," will soon be brought befor e the courts to answer the charge of the murder of M. Gouffe, is determined not to omit any chance of keeping his name before the public Three days ago he asked for a glass of orgeat, of which he is exceedingly fond, and his keepers, wishing to Indulge him, agreed to furnish the de sired liquid. As soon as he tasted it, he de clared it was a poisoned cup, vowed he had taken enough to kill him, and swore it was an attempt on the part of the jailers to mur der him. Protestations were of no avail, so at last the two keepers were obliged to drink some of the stuff he had left in order to demon strate their belief in its puritv.or soothe him with the reflection that if 'the drink was poisoned he would have company during the long journey to the nether world. This had the desired effect Eyraud was satis fied and drank the remainder ot his orgeat. Immediately afterward he was seized with violent internal pains, and presented all the appearance of having taken something poisonous. The surgeon naturally con cluded that Eyraud was malignenng, but this theory had to be given up next morn ing, when the two servants, who had drunk the syrup, were suffering with the same sort of pains, exhibited the identical symptoms and have since had to be removed to tho hospital. In consequence of this mysterious inci dent Eyraud was to-day transferred to Mazes and Gabrielle Bompard to St Lazare. The fascinating young lady most strenuously objected to and protested against the change, declaring she was most grossly insulted by being placed in a prison which is usually set apart for women of the class "unfortunate," to which by no possi bility would she belong. EASTERN QUESTION AGAIH. Greece Summarily Called Down by tho Triple Alliance. Berlin, November 22. A crisis in'the Eastern question has been sprung upon the Triple Alliance by the sudden adhesion of the King of Greece to the project of M. Delyannis, supported by M. Tricoupis, to foment openly and assist a rising in Crete simultaneously with risings in Epirus and Macedonia. The Emperor of Germany, since bis sister married the Duke of Sparta, has relied upon the King to he guided by the Dreibund's policy. The Greek Minis ters calculated that the Kaiser, in the eveut of Greece being defeated, would not permit the Porte to drive out the royal family. On the King intimating his assent to his Ministers' schemes, Chancellor Von Caprivi and Count Kalnoky sent a joint note to Athens, warning the Government that in the event ot measures being taken tending toward a war with Turkey, the Dreibund's squadron would blockade the coasts of Greece and leave the Hellenio army to take isolated action on land against the Turks. The decisive character of the note stopped a blaze of war over Europe. BETJTAL TEAIN MTJBDEBEBS. How the Victims of the Kntno Tragedy Were Slaughtered.

Ho Donht That Koch Has the Correct Theory of Consumption. OPINION OP A BACTERIOLOGIST. Sn.sceptibHItT.to the Microscopic Organ Isms is Hereditary. THE TENNESSEE 8ANITAKIUM PROJECT rtrECTAL TELEORAM TO THE DISFJLTCS.l New Yoke, November 22. As the lead ing bacteriologist of America, author of "The Story of the Bacteria," "Dust and Disease," etc., and Director of the Physio logical and Pathological Laboratory of the Alumna? Association of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden was naturally ex pected to have formed important conclusions as to the value of Prof. Koch's already world renowned discovery ot the lymph from which so much is hoped for and by consumptives. Dr. Prudden, who gives himself up to laboratory work to the exclusion of practice, was found in the magnificent rooms of the Vanderbilt College, on West Fiity-ninth street His views are these: "This discovery has been announced un der very peculiar circumstances. Last sum mer, in the course of an address before the International Medical Congress, which was largely a retrospective summary of what had been accomplished in bacteriology in the past lew years, Dr. Koch mentioned that he had been experimenting with various chemical substances to see it he could not find something which would enable physi cians to more successfully treat tuberculous diseases. Upon what subjects his experi ments had finally been fixed he did not say. STATEMENT FOKCED FEOM HIM. "Now a very curious thing happened. So strong was the confidence of the medical profession at large in the scientific acumen and the personal integrity of the man who had discovered the cause of consumption and who had solved the riddle of the hidden cause of Asiatio cholera, that they were prepared to accept as practically final any utterance of Dr. Koch on subjects in his chosen field. The deplorable frequency of tuberculosis and its universality in all parts of the world had fanned the interest in the subject to a fever heat and at last so great had been the popular clamor to know what results Dr. Koch had reached since his summer address that he was practically forced, a few days ago, to make a statement as to his work and its results. "His experiments were not yet complete, so his statement could be but a partial one, but such things as he was ready to say he said. He said them, too, with such clear ness and precision and such practical detail that any educated, practicing physician would be competent to apply the remedy as soon as he could get it Dr. Koch is not yet through, as he says, with his experiments on the lvmph itself and itsmodeof preparation, and it is characteristic of the caution and at tention to detail of the man that he is un willing to make any premature announce ment on that part of his work. THE CAUSE OF CONSUMPTION. "For the nature of the lymph and its mode of preparation, we must wait until the ex periments are done, and Dr. Koch would cer tainly not be justified in yielding to the popular desire to know its nature until he is convinced that he can make it known with safety. Now, the different kinds of tuberculo sis are all characterized by the samR-bacillus, and as to the mooted question .whether or not the tubercular bacillus is the cause ot consumption or any tuberculous malady, or only a product of the disease processes, that has been authoritatively determined, and there is no question whatever that the bacillus is the cause and the only cause of consumption. "The different varieties of tuberculosis are briefly these, the disease resulting in what ever portion of the body the bacillus gets a lodgment in: The most common is tubercu losis of the lungs; there is frequently tuberculosis of the bowels, sometimes there is tuberculosis of the interior organs, and tolerably olten of the surface of the skin. The world is full of microbes. Most of them are not only harmless, but are in calculably beneficial in destroying dead matter. But among this myriad are a few which may and do cause disease when they find lodgment in the body. GETS IN ALONG -WITH DUST. "One of these baleful microbes is the tu berculosis bacillus, which for the most part gets into the Bystem through the dust which we inhale, which deposits it on the lung tis sues. Where this germ lodges in the lungs or elsewhere in the body a little new growth may occur, and this new growth is called a tubercle. Not all persons are equally sus ceptible to the growth of the bacillus, as in a great many cases the germ is inhaled with out doing any harm, and the tubercle if de veloped is short lived. But always and everywhere it is the bacillus, and it alone which causes the disease "Why? In the first place, we can practi cally, in all cases, prove the presence of the bacillus tuberculosis in all the tuberculous tissue. We may cultivate it in the labora tory, and get it ia pure form. We may in oculate it into animals, and produce tuber cles similar to those from which the tuber culosis came, and we never find this bacil lus anywhere except in connection with tu berculosis." THE TENNESSEE SANITARIUM. One-seventh to one-fourth of all the deaths occurring are the result of tuberculosis. Al ready a company of some of the leading medical men of the United States and of Europe has been formed with a capital of nearly $3,000,000 to perfect a sanitarium in which the Koch method may be tried on consumptives under the most favorable sur roundings of climate, water and mountain. Dr. Alfred Cooper, of London, is one of the distinguished foreigners deeply interested in the undertaking. The plans for the building, which is to be situated near the Cumberland Gap, in Ten nessee, on a spot found, after long search, to offer the most perfect natural advantages, have been submitted to Dr. Billings, of Washington, who designed the Johns Hop kins Hospital, and to Dr.Pepper,of Philadel phia. Dr. Alan McLane Hamilton, the eminent nerve specialist, of this city, is at the head of the company, and Dr. Fordyce Barker and Dr. D. B. St John Boosa,of New York, are on the Advisory Board, in which some eminent St Louis and Boston physi cians will be represented. The building is already well under way. The lymph is to be prepared by one of the assistants of Dr. Koch, with whom negotiations are now in progress. It is learned that Dr. Holhrook Curtis, of this city: Drs, Gibbon and Clement God son, of London; Dr. Fletcher Ingall, of Chicago, and William Pepper, of Philadel phia, are also interested in the project HEEEDITT AND CONSUMPTION. "Bacillus tuberculosis itself," said Dr. Prudden, "is not transmitted from mother to child, but the predisposition to the growth and effects of the bacillus may be trans mitted, and. It is this which has been re garded as evidence of the heridityof con sumption. We know that children of tuber culous parents are often tubercnlar. But as they live in close contact with those par ents they may not only be predisposed to tuberculosis, but are exposed to actual con tact with the bacilli which may be thrown oil the persons of the parents in sputum or excrement ot any Kind, xnere is a corn- mon, but erroneous, belief that the breath consumptives. majsicomm.uuic&te the dijjjextihjreadajs. NOVEMBER 23, 1890. ease. There is no foundation for it. The breath never carries any germs whatever. ' "In plain words, which the non-professional public may readily understand, Dr. Koch's present discovery is essentially this: He has obtained, or has discovered, a sub stance, its natnre as yet unknown to us, which when introduced into the body in certain quantities and with certain precau tions, is capable of so affecting the tubercle tissue in the body that it apparently dies ofl; thus is effected the commencement of a cure. GIVES NATUEE A CHANCE. "The Koch lymph, or whatever it be, does not kill the" bacilli, -but destroys the tissue which the bacilli have formed. The Koch remedy is not, therefore, even claimed in most cases to so change the tubercle tissue that the recuperative powers of the body itself can have play, or in certain cases to so change this tissue that the surgeon may assist nature. Dr. Koch specifically urges that all those means which have been here tofore found most efficient in treating tuber culosis, viz.: good food, good air, snitable climate and regimen will still be necessary in most cases, at least to complete the enre, when possible, which the Koch remedy has initiated. "He does not claim that all cases of con sumption will be enred or even benefited by his remedy. Apparently the most definite observations which have been made by Dr. Koch and his clinical confreres on the effects of this remedy have been made on those forms of tuberculosis which can be more or less directly observed, such as lupus, tuber culosis of the joints, etc How far these ob servations can be applied to tuberculosis of the lungs, we cannot personally judge until we can have more details than bis paper gives or canourselves apply and study the ef fects of the new remedy. WHAT LYMPH IS. "Nobody has the slightest idea of what the new remedy is. It has been spoken of in the public prints as lymph. Lymph primarily is one of the body fluids which bathes the tissues and nourishes them. The material used in vaccination is called lymph, and it is in tact a little of the dried body fluid which serves to protect against smallpox. "For this reason any substance used to inoculate with in the treatment of a disease might properly be called lymph. But whether the substance which Dr. Koch uses contains any of the body fluids or is a sim ple chemical substance is not known." GREATEST MAN ON EARTH. DR. EASTMAN'S TRIBUTE TO THE GERMAN SCIENTIST.

The doctor then showed some photo graphio plates which are herewith repro duced, saying: These represent fields under the microscopic lens. You" will see the tubercnlar bacillus is straight and much smaller than the comma bacillus, which is curved. I believo the tuber cular bacillos is the smallest known, and the bacillus of anthrax (malignant pustulo) is the largest It is for this reason that the anthrax bacillus has been studied more than any other germ and has therefore, perhaps, led to the discovery of the others. 1 am awaiting with great interest the verdict of Pasteur, the great French authority in these matters; but the feeling between France and Germany is not well suited to hasten a favorable report from him. After all, Pasteur's work with the silk worm and A Certes' labor with the wine dis eases of France render them pioneers in this department of medical science. TO EECET7E TTTKTR PBESrDENT.

SHORT STROLL THROUGH THE MARKETS There is a saying that people who dance must pay the fiddler, and following out the same general line of thought, it may be re marked that people who are counting on eating elaborate Thanksgiving dinners may confidently calculate upon putting up good round prices for the center pieces and trim mings. There does not seem to be any corner in the. market on most things that go to make up the time-honored feast, but somehow dealers have learned the art of fixing the rate high enough to shut out any possibility of loss. The markets were lively yesterday, and already the holiday boom was showing itself. The poultry dealers were busy as bees hand ing out turkeys, ducks and chickens, in spite of the fact that certain prices were gilt edged. Tho proud kings and queens of the barnyard that can put their heads under a wing and roost on one foot on top of an inch fence board during a cyclone, were re tailing at 20 cents per pound, with plenty of takers at that.

Canvas-back ducks were selling at $7 a pair, and not many were to be had at this modest figure. Other prices were as follows: Mal lard ducks, 6 a dozen; teal, $4 a dozen; red heads, S3 a pair; black heads, 75 cents a pair; pheasants, SI 50 a pair; prairie chick ens, $1 25 a pair; quail, ?2 a dozen; wood cock, SI 25 a pair; snipe, 52 60 a dozen; plover, the same; pigeons, 52 a dozen; rab bits and squirrels, irom 40 to 50 cents a pair: jack rabbits, from 75 cents to $1 apiece, and venison from 20 to 35 cents a pound. Quail, rabbits, squirrels, pigeons and prairie chickens are plentiful, but pheasants are rather scarce. It is expected, though, that the general supply of game will be good this week, particularly as the weather in the game regions is excellent for hunting and shipping. If the oyster and fish men are to be relied upon, their lot is not particularly pleasant just at this time. One of the heaviest dealers in the market said: "The Eastern oyster shippers are fighting among them selves, and we are getting the worst of it. I am selling oysters to-day at $1 10 a gallon, or 30 cents a quart, that cost me SI 85 a gal lon. Thatisastrue as I tell you, and my customers are getting the benefit of what I hope will be but a temporary trouble." FISH MARKET OUT 07 SIGHT. "How is the fish market?" "Out of sight Prices are from 20 to 30 per cent higher than for years. Ask me about any variety of fish, whether taken in the lakes or Eastern waters, and my answer will be the same. Lake fishing will close within the next ten days, as they are lifting the nets already, and then we will go back to frozen fish." At the butchers' stalls the reports were to the effect that prices were about as usual. The best of steaks retail at from 18 to 20 cents a pound. Roasts.starting with the "chuck" variety and ending with first-class ribbers, are worth from 10 to 15 cents. Pork and mutton are about as usual. The rosy-cheeKed women who preside over the vegetable stands, as a rule, look about as rugged as their prices. Potatoes are sell ing at $1 25 a bushel, or 40 cents a peck; cabbage, from 5 to 10 cents a head: celery, 40 cents a dozen bunches; turnips, 25 cents a peck; onions, SI 75 a bushel, or 50 cents a peck; sweet potatoes, 50 cents a peck; to matoes, 50 cents a peck; Beets, three bunches for a dime; onions, 5 cents a bunch; cran berries, two quarts for 23 cents; apples, 0 cents a peck and grapes, 30 cents a basket The time and place to buy overcoats is at Kaufmanns' special Thanksgiving sale dur ing the next three days.

A If Ohio for 89,000 From Nowhere to the Brash Its Value as Scrap Iron A Variety of Opinions. The Squirrel Hill Electric Railway was sold at receiver's sale yesterday, it being the sixth essay since it was first put up in September. The sale was in the Court House rotunda, being under an order of the Common Pleas Court. This is a road that would be valuable to any company but that it has neither beginning nor end. It Is three and a half miles long. It begins at the car station in Oakland, and loses itself on Squirrel Hill somewhere. For the steel rails laid 816,000 were paid, and counting woodwork, etc, and the fact that the road was offered divested of liens, it was evident from the bids that there was something in the woodpile, somewhere. At the filth offer the propertv was sold to G. M. Rollins, of New York, "for 825,000, but he didn't put up any cash, consequently yesterday'ffjjroeeedings Attorney George Wilson started the sale by intimating to Auctioneer Smithson that he could stand $5,000. R. W. Pies, Esq., thought 86,500 not'too much, and after that bids fell to 8100, 850 and 825, until the property was finally knocked down to T. A. Nnhle, of Hays & Noble, attornevs, at ?9,600. " ' A wide variety of opinion is expressed relative to the value of the purchase and the identity of the purchasing interest It is assumed to start with that Mr. Noble doesn't care to run a street railway all by himself. A man had much better own a Governor. Accordingly the opinion ex pressed was that the Duquesne Traction Company would take the road off the pur chaser's hands. Others thought it might be the Duqnesne's opponent Ex-Councilman Shaw said the property was worth 70,000 at least, over seven times the final bid. Mr. Noble talked freely, but could scarce be said to tell anything. He objected to giving the names of the people who were to run the road, and said that owing to the condition of the money market the fact the road has no terminals and must depend on negotiation to get them, the present outlook for business and the deterioration of material now on the road, the purchase was not a particularly great bargain. Mr. Noble said the time when the road will be ready for business could not now be fixed. It might not be before July, 1891, but might possibly be in operation by next April. He con tended that the late owners had spent their money in grading and that the material would not scrap for more than the purchase price. He further stated that the time for opening would be fixed by the time neces sary to bnild the powef plant The pro fessed object is to get the road put through to Wilkinsburg and return past Bellevernon and skirt the heights above the Pennsylva nia Railroad and get a terminus near the High School building. CAUSED BY JEALOUSY. Sadie McMullen's Fearful Crime Prompted by Unrequited Affection. rsrZCIAI. IttBHUK TO THS SISrATCS.1 Buffalo, November 22. Pretty, rosy cheeked Sadie McMullen is in jail in this city, and will soon be tried on the charge of causing the sensational death of little Nellie May Connors, whom she threw off a bridge at Akron on October 31, together with Delia Brown, aged 6, who escaped death. Sadie is 17 years old, and little does she look like a murderess. She is the first woman to commit a murder since the new law made for the disposition of murderers went into effect The grand jury will in vestigate Sadie's case the coming week, and then if she is found guilty of murder she will be the first woman to oe electrocuted. Facts have come to light which go to show that Sadie was in love and her love was not reciprocated. A letter written by the ac cused girl is an important fact in the evi dence. Two hours before she hurled the children off the bridge, Sadie wrote a' letter to a friend in Buffalo, in which she said she was going to suicide, but was afraid to die aloneand was going to take someone with her. She also said that her spirit would haunt the man she loved forever. It is claimed by some that she was in love with Simon Brown, father of the little girl who escaped, and that she was jealous ot Mrs. Connors, who is a widow and to whom Brown is engaged. It is reported that she was at one time engaged to Brown and they quarreled. It Is the general belief that Sadie is insane and the defense will be insanity. Axe Ton Fond of Saving Money?

A HEGE0 MADE HAPPI THROUGH A E0X6 iconaxsposDEscE or inx MSrAica.1 Paka, Beazil, November 4. As pre viously indicated in this correspondence, the trade and transportation, as veil as every other business in the Amazon Yalley, is dependent on the indigenous produce of its rich soil, i. e., rubber. It has been shown that this crude article of commerce is, perhaps, next to the coin or bullion which came from the early Californians, the most valuable cargo afloat. The United States absorbs two-thirds of this export The British ship Ambrose, carrying this mail, takes out an enormous cargo, probably valned at $1,000,000, the handling of which is probably confined to half a dozen American firms. The English and Germans who have been long established here, however, import more than two-thirds of everything that is consumed by the la borers connected with the business. In a word, the balance of trade is against us, al most two to one. wox DEVELornia teade. The large amount of American capital and enterprise ably represented by a few of our countrymen is here to buy rubber for cash only, and therefore may not be de pended upon to develop American trade in this section. It has been the general ex perience in the business of mining for ores, oil and gas that these middlemen who did the outside or general business of those countries were the fellows that in the end reaped greater benefits than the miner or operator. This is not only the hottest and unhealth lest, but also the most expensive, place in the civilized world. In this regard it may be compared to early life in the East oil ter ritory, or pioneer experiences in the gold and silver mines of the West The retail business, which is quite extensive, is all done in five or six figures, as represented by the Brazilian paper and nickel, bronze and copper money. One of the coins of the old monarchy, still in circulation in large quan tities in the Amazon Yalley, but entirely disappeared from Southern Brazil, is an enormous copper, worth about half a penny, so heavv that I do not care to carry it in my pockets, but find it useful for paper weights in the Consulate. There is no temptation to steal them, as nobody cares to be burdened with them. BILLS BIG IS APrEABAXCE. They have a bill here looking very much like a greenback, that has engraved in each of its lour corners, and on the margin and back, the gratifying figures "500," which at first touch gives its happy posessor a quick flash of the "bloated bondholder" sensation; but, on experimenting with;its purchasing power, it "means business" only at about 25 cents worth. It bears the words "Quin hentos reis" and "Imperio do Brazil," with the likeness of the "late" Dom Pedro, now Mr. Pedro d'AIcantara, as still does almost all the paper money of Brazil; though the silver and nickle coinage of the Republic, is already in extensive circulation. The other day I stepped into a shop and succeeded, by a deaf and dumb exhibit, in making the Portuguese merchant under stand that I wanted to buy some shirts. I paid at the rate of 4,500 reis for a 49-cent shirt, or four and one-half times its cost in New York. As It takes from two to four weeks for the leprous laundrymen or women to do a day's washing, qmte a snpply of linen is necessary in this perspiring latitude. THEX EOEECnr WHITE SHIBXS. The delay in the washing is commonly re ported to be notentirelj due to the laziness of the laundress. It is sometimes quite con venient for her husband and other members of the family, who want to cut a swell at a festival, to extemporize one of the United States Consul's white shirts for the evening or the Sunday, as the case maybe. In proof of the accuracy of the story, the Methodist missionary here tells me that only one week ago this evening at a prayer meeting in a mud shanty in the suburbs of the city, a laundress was present with her family. One of the little urchins wore nothing ex cept a large white bath towel about his shoulders, while an older sou, about 8 years old, had on nothing but a nicely starched white shirt, which trailed in the mud and looked for all the world like the ones the writer wears. My first laundry bill was also in five figures, and not being as yet familiar with the value of the money, I was disposed to resent it as an imposition, until my friends laughingly interfered, when I set up the "bug juice" and water for two, which wai taxed at 1,200 reis. This made me sick at the stomach. A EETIEEfO CONSUL'S JOKE. This reminds me of the story told of a do parting Consul and bis "tenderfoot" succes sor, to whom he handed one of those tempt ing looking "500" bills just as the former was embarking. "Take this bill," said tha tender-hearted fellow, with sympathetic tears in his eyes, "and settle with any of my creditors, who may call to see me after I am gone," and interrupting the receiver's sug gestions as to amounts and disposition of balance remaining in his hands, he con tinued, "Oh, never mind sending me tha change; just set it up all around for the boys." Recalling the value of the bill, 23 cents, the joke will be appreciated. I attempted the same trick by sending ons to the genial Quartermaster of the Kit Carson Post ot Washington, with a request that he pay my dues, and set it np for tha crowd. I've not yet heard how much it cost him. PLEHXT 01- SASIESES3. I am having some funny experiences la rubbing against the manners and customs of the people that help to vary and relieve the terrible monotony of life in the tropics, where the country is as flat as the broad ocean, the only scenery being the dense green foliage of the forests that grow down to the very edge of the mighty Amazon. The "leaves do not begin to fall" here. Every day is alike. There are no Joyous budding springtime, no invigorating an tumn, but all are melancholy days. One of the customs that I cannot quite adapt myself to is waiting for breakfast till midday. The early mornings here are simply glorious. I loveto rise with the sub and enjoy a walk while it is cool and re freshing; but you cannot get anything but "early coffee," which consists of a small French cup of black coffee and a piece of bread.
