Portsmouth, N. H.,Oct. 10.—A bride of only five days is confined in the insane ward at police headquarters. On Saturday last George E. Manson of Rochester and Miss Bertha Howard of this city, a prepossessing young lady, were married in the city clerk’s office. With a pleasant good day they glided out of the office and jumped into a carriage and went to the depot in season to take the train for Rochester. Upon arriving in Rochester they took a team and went out driving near Lebanon, where the groom had formerly worked. After a brief stay they stinted on their return, and in passing through the woods at East Lebanon Manson pointed

the regular Democratic nominees for lieutenant governor and judge of the court of appeals—Daniel L. Lockwood and Charles F. Brown. The ticket was nominated shortly after 6 o’clock last evening by a committee composed of Charles B. Patterson, Thomas G. Shearman, George R. Peabody, Michael E. O’Connor, R. R. Bowker, Richard S. Ramsey, J. W. Green, S. Perry Sturgis and Charles L. Ricardi. R. B. McIntyre had been named as one of the committee, but de-
clined to serve.
The committee was appointed by Edward M. Shepard as a result of a meeting of Shepard delegates to the Saratoga convention. That meeting was held Monday night and the committee called for the resolutions, which were adopted without opposition. Charles 8. Fair child was chosen chairman of the cam-
paign committee.
As the Shepardites are said to have received assurances that their nominee for governor will accept, all that remains to done to make the ticket the regular choice of the third party is to secure :!,000 persons as indorsors of the candidates and to file these with the secretary of state on or before Oct. 15.

Upon her arrival here she became more violent, and Dr. Cheever was summoned to the Brunswick House, where the couple were stopping, and gave her some medicine with the hope of quieting her. At 1 o’clock in the morning Officers Murphy and Regan discovered a female walking in the middle of the street with nothing but a nightrobe on. Upon investigating they found it to be Mrs. Manson. When questioned by the officers she said her husband had attempted to kill her and she had escaped him. During the conversation she became violent and the officers t»x>k her to the police station, where she is at present
confined.

PerMonnl Observations Made While Spe-
cial Envoy to China In 1884 —LI Regarded as More a Statesman Than Warrior — Pekin’s Wall Useless as a Means of Defense—The Climate. Washington, Oct. 10.—Ambassador
Patenotre, the representative of the ! French republic in the United States, is regarded as one of the best informed men in diplomatic life on China and the j scenes of the present conflict between that country and Japan. A good part of his life in the French diplomatic scrv- j ice has been spent at Pekin and Tien j Tsin, where he was in constant com- j muuication with Li Hung Chang. It was M. Patenotre who signed with Li Hung Chang the famous Tien Tsin treaty of peace between France and China. Prior to that he had served some years at Pekin, first as secretary of the French legation, then charge d’af-
eonsiderable exchange of stations following the reorganization project. The I strictest economy was necessary to make the appropriation last through the i fiscal yea?, and after looking over the ground a method of retrenchment was found by the reduction of the number of draft animals employed. By an order just issued these have lx-eu minced from 4,1100 to 8,100, and taking account of the corresponding reduction to bo 1 made in the number of teamsters, hostlers and other employes it is expected that a saving of about ♦.“00,000 per an-
num will be afflicted. II AIR OK THE H1IKKP

Pittsburg, Oct. 10.—William Law, a former employe of the Fort Wayne railroad, was convicted yesterday of attempting to wreck a passenger train to gratify a spirit of revenge. Law was employed as a division hand and was discharged early in September. A few days later passenger train No. 44 was stopped just in time to avoid running | into an immense boulder that would | have ditched the train and cost perhaps many lives. The case was investigated s and Law arrested. At the trial Law’s little son testified that his father went t out the night the boulder was found on the track, saying that he was going to kill 100 people. Afterward he said he had placed a ruck on the track. No defense was made. Law himself not going

Finally an effort was made to stampede the convention for exMay or Grace. Mr. Grace arose and stated he would not accept because of ill health. He then pleaded with the delegates to vote for Strong. So earnest were his words that the delegates decided to accept the candidnte of the committee of 70 and the Republican party.

“Li strikes one as a student and statesman rather than a warrior. His tendencies arc all those of a scholar, although his great authority as viceroy of the metropolitan province of China and special guardian of the emperor have made him the head of the war power. But he is not a genius of war, as he is of statesmanship. He hits sought to modernize the Chinese army and navy, and such strength as these arms of defense have been due to his iiitrixlnotion of foreign officers, including General Gordon, and his adoption of modern arms and ordnance. The artillery he has secured is fairly good, but compared with the equipments of European and American troops, which improve con-
stantly, it is far out of date. Defenses of Fekln ami the Climate.
“The defenses of Pekin are very primitive,” said the ambassador. “The outer wall is a huge affair, completely encircling the city. It is about the bight of a 6-story building and wide enough for travel by horses and carriages. But as a means of defense it would amount to nothing against modern artillery. The walls about Fonquin were even stronger, being built by skilled engineers, but they quickly gave way before big guns. There is hard y any such thing as roads about Pekin and 1 icn Tsin, so travel is very difficult. There are occasional stretches of good road, paved with large stone blocks, but these are exceptional.” ,.~ M. Patenotre was asked what difficulties of climate would be encountered
by an invading force.
“The climate will be the greatest difficulty,” said he. “It gets intensely cold about Pekin the latter part of October and everything is frozen t” November. The cold is so serare that it almost put# a stop to travel and communication. It has takan a full month
