For several weeks the small-pox has been raging w ith great fatality in Jefferson. Union County, liakola. a settlement distant from this city, afout twelve miles. A strict quarantine has been enforced against the community, and the disease has not spread bevond the settlement, though it has played sad iiavoe there. The settlement consists mostly of Canadian French, and when the disease first broke out. they, in their ignorance, were unmimlful of its contagious chanu ter. and the funerals were public ones, tnd w ere more or less attended by the whole population, as the settlers are really of a kind disposition. Iu this way the disea spread rapidly : the towns around the neighbor hood quarantined against Jefferson, and the ihiple there have laeii isolated for nearly a month and no mails have been rcceivedfrom the place and none sent. The railroad authorities have forbid their trains to stop there. KIkpoint, thf County seat of Union County, and this city, have largely contributed to the relief of the suffering jeople, but under the restraint to which they are subyecHsd, the settler have tiecome restive and threaten t break the quarantine and come in this city. The catastrophe was overruled by the City Council, sending Napoleon Bronillille. of this city, who has many relatives in the settlement, to Jefferson. From him it is learned that there has been over ninety cases in the settlement: thirty-lwo have died, and only six have recovered! so far. , At present there are sixty cases under treatment, and it is believed that, many of them will recover, as the disease literally has lost much of its former virulence. Mr. Bronillille rejiorts that whole families have been swept away by the disease, and that in many instances the dead have lx-en left unbilled for dais, through fear and to the unability to obtain help to inter them. At present, KIkpoint has two physicians in charge of the infected district, ami it is believed the disease is abating and will fas wholly -on lined within its present bounds. No cases have developed in this city, though isolated cases are reiorted in several towns in Southern Itakota. The disease is said to be the bla;k small-pox, and is thought to have been communicateil by a party of Russian emigrants who passed through this city to Yankton, Lak., several weeks ago. A Strange Suicide. Detroit, Feb. 2. Two women, pretending to hail from Ietroit, visited Ann Arbor, last night and stopjHHl at a hotel. During the evening they were visited by a student in th Pharmacy Department of the State University, and the three remained in the parlor till quite late playing can Is. Toward midnight high words were heard between the parties, and one of the women, giT-

in her name as Mrs. V. II. Leighton. charged the student, whose name is Henry A. Fairbanks, of Petrolia, nt., with being her husband, but being too proud to acknowledge the fact. Fairbanks put his hand in his jwxket as if to draw a revolver, when the women lied from the room. A moment after a shot was heard, and the attaches of the hotel running in, found Fairbanks lyiujr on the floor. tJiot in the head. He died in a few moments. At the inquest held this evening the fact of a predetermined suicide seemed to be established, as a letter was taken from his jacket addressed to a law ver of Ann Arbor, asking him to request a person named J.innig. in Petrolia. to break the news to his father. The woman Leighton refused to say anything except that the deceased was her husband.

He lifted the log, and, in throwing it on the lire, fell with it, and being unable to rise, was burned to death. His sister was lying on the la'd, but was unable in her condition of health to get to him or render him any assistance. At last, by an almost superhuman effort she got out of bed, and dragged her brother's body out f the fire, and managed to get back into bed, and there she was compelled t lie, being completely exhausted and unable to turn over, with her brother's dead and burned body lvir.g in full view ujion the hearth. Nothing was known of the affair until yesterday when Mrs. Goodpaster's son. w ho lives about one mile from his mother's, went to his mother's to help his uncle feed stK-k. As he stepped in the door the horrible and bhxid-curd-iing scene was opened to his view, as there in the bed lay his mother with her eyes widely extended and she looking wildly out of them. while on the hearth lay the body of his uncle, stiff ami stark in death." badly burned, and w ith his eyes, nose, cheeks, ears and a portion of the ne-k eaten by cats, the w hole presenting a gassliy signt.

He said: "After the outrage hail been committed on Whittaker the Cadets generally expresses most intense lnaignauon, and weregenemll anxious to secure the detec tion of the periietrators. It was as reasonable to susjicct the Cadets of any know ledge of the out rage as to susect the guests ot any n rst-class notel of complicity or sympathy with a great roblery committed in the hotel." He said he "beIielieved the affair had ita origin beyond the limits of West Point, and he should continue to investigate the matter aa long as he livi-d, until he reached the truth." At this point Henry Ward Beccher entered and was provided with a seat inside the railing. General Schotield continuing, said "His theory of the origin of the affair was independent as to whether Whittaker did it or not. He had his own theorv and suspicions. He thought the motive of outside parties was much stronger than any mo tive Whittaker could possibly have bad."

"Wc. therefore otizens connected with those Industries in several States, alarmed at the rulings of the firesent Secretary, John Sherman, most respectully request that, in the appointment a Secretary of the Treasury for your Administration, you will select a man who possesses ability and inclination to carry out tne doctrine of protection to American manufacturer, and who will not overrule in his decisions the spirit and purpose of the tariff laws, when evasions of duty are attempted by ingenious contrivances. The late decisions referred to are fatal to a large class of American manufacturers, and open the doors to further destruction of the capital invested and labor employed. No language can fully express the Injury caused by these decisions, or the offense felt by large

numbers of the working classes throughout the country, who ncted with aud voted for the Republican party at the late elections. In consequence of constant leclarations of its leaders on tbe stump in favor ot the protection of American labor. Without presuming to name any one in particular for the high josition of Secretary of the Treasury, we most earnestly request that your appointment will give an assurance of a sieedy redress of the great w rong done the iron interest of the country. Wc avoid overstating our anxiety, believing any true statesman knows the peaceful aud contented penple to be tound only where resources are profitably emjiloyed. The discontent which is now growing, wc believe can be best allayed by such an ajpointment to the Treasury Department as we herein most respectfully ask for.
