ANOTHER EMPEROR DYIXG.

FREDERICK'S CONDITION ALARMING. The Royal Family Summoned to His Bedaide at Midnight Urotichiti nnd inflammation of the Lung Compli. catloff Matter Sierlatislj. Berlin, April IS. Emperor Frederic passed a bad tiigj'.t last night. The fever and the symptom" of bronchitis have increased. The ofiicial bulleton issued at ö:"0 p.m. said: "The emperor did not pass ft pood night, bronchitis having sutK-rvened yesterday accompanied by high fever and shortness of breath." It was signed b Drs. Mackenzie, Wegner, Krause and Hovtll. The doctors in attendance upon Emperor Frederick held a consultation to-day and decided that the bronchitis'was limited, and that no pneumonia was present. Dr. Mackenzie fears that pneumonia will set in in consequei.ee of the emperor's continued hih temperature which the attack of bronchitis does not explain. The emperor's condition remains the same. The fever does not abate. Trince Henry, hiä fon, arrived from "Wilhelm fchofen at aa early hour this morning. All the family of tiie emperor are now assembled at Charlottcnbunr. The crown prince and Prince Bismarck had a long- conference with the emperor this afternoon. This evening the emperor was in a higher state of tever and there was no improvement in his other symptomsThe emperor is very weak, and it is reported that inflammation of the lungs has set in. Toward evening he fell asleep. At an evening conference of the doctors concerning the emperor it was found that the fever and bronchitis were unchanged. Dr. Mackenzie suggested an abscess in the vicinity of the trachea'as the cause of the excessive fever which has been so puzzling to the doctors. It is undeniable that Dr. Mackenzie this morning believed the emperor" end was approaching. The empress urgently summoned the members of the family to hasten to the castle. Crown Prince William galloped irorn Berlin and arrived first. He was soon followed by Empress Augusta and others. Prince Bismarck was at ttie bedside an hour after t receiving the summons. There is a marked discharge of bloody mucus from the enipercr's throat, and the swelling is progressing downward. '1 he report is continued that the emperor is suL'ering from inflammation of the lungs. Prince Bismarck, accompanied by the minis- j ter of histice hr.d nimihcr interview with the emperor during the evening, when his majesty higned an order appointing the crown prince to act is his representative. The einperor left his bed and sat for awhile in aa arm-chair, and about 4 o'clock iu the afternoon t-howvd himself ata window of his room. The ;rru:id duchess of linden visited him at 7 o'clock. Atter the visit he slept lor on hour. lie subsequently received a visit from the empress ond iltwaer cm press, who remained t his Leibide about aqu triC-r o: an hour. The crown prince remains atCuailotteiiburg for the prent. The rumors that the emperor hud a choking fit and that he ha J lost consciousness are uaiounded. The doctors remain in permanent attendance upon the emperor. It was noticed on Wednesday night last that although an abundance of air was passing throue.ii the eanula, the emperor's breathing was attended v i:h a slight noi.-e, indicating tracheal disturbance, wuich was attributed to slight irtiamtaation of the tissues mound the trachea, which had been observed tor three diys, and upon the first sign of which Dr. Mackenzie had ordered a fresh eanula at liind-b-rs. This not being ready Dr. Mackenzie, on Thursday morning, procured temporary tubes, and invited Prof, lrgmann to attend. Prot. Bergmann, considering that he was entitled to claiia the position of operator, Dr. Mackenzie assisted ium. Prof. Bergmann tried to insert a tute of the same angle as Dr. Mackenzie's, but cf a smaller diameter. Failing in the attempt he called Ir. liramann, who managed to insert a tube of a size suggested bv Dr. Mackenzie immrdiately after the operation of tracheotomy, hon the German doctors objected to the use of euch a tube. At midnight all the members of the imperial family wt-re summoned to the emperor's bedside. The worst is feared. I'rofs. Leiden ;nd Senator were summoned to-day for consultation upon the emperor's condition. Prof. Senator took par8 in the conferences to-day. Prof. le iden w ill arrive to-morrow from Weisbaden. . Prof, Senator, who is one of the greatest German authorities on internal diseases, carefully examined the emperor's chest and reported that he found no trace of organic disease of the lime or of discharge of turner into the lung passages. Prof. Leiden is a greet authority on diseases of the respiratory fvstem. The general public were ignorant of the grave coimition of the emperor until the evening papers appeared. Unter den J.inden was thronged with crowds waiting for the emperor to drive out. The emperor does not feel as sick as he really is. lie wrote several letters in bed to-day. He coughs and expectorates a great deal. An all iii-ht service has been established at the Charlottenhtirg telegraph office. It is reported that the Pri ice of Wales i coming to iierlin. Count von. Munster, the German ambassador in France, arrived here from Paris todav. La-t night the emperor slept only after sedatives hai teen administered. The doctors predict another bad night. The attack of Iro.ichit is is supposed tö have resulted from his rive on Saturday in a cool northeast wind. The glands are somewhat at'ected, but it is not confirmed that there is a new swelling in the trachea beneath the eanula. A ?spiritu:ilist'K Sad Experience. Chicago, April IC.

MATTHEW ARNOLD DEAD. A Snddcn Attack of Heart Disease Ends III Life Biographical Sketch. LONDON, April 10. Mr. Matthew Arnold, the noted poet, scholar and critic, whose recent article on "Civilization in the United States" attracted much attention, died suddenly yesterday in Liverpool from heart disease. Mr. Arnold arrived in Liverpool on Saturday to meet his daughter, who was on her way to England from New York on the steamer Aurania. He stayed at the Dingle with his sister, Mrs. Crapper. During the evening he was in exuberant spiriK lie took a long walk and tried to clear a railing near the house by a jump". He failed, but again made the attempt. Hiking a running jump, and succeeded. No ill results appeared at the moment. Mr. Arnold knew he suffered from a disease of the heart and Dr. Sir AndrewClark had w arned him against any sudden exertion. Yesterday morning he was apparently well. He attended the presbyterian church, nnd after luncheon went out for a walk with Mrs. Arnold. lie was still in high spirits. Soon after leaving the house he suddenly fell forward and never afterward spoke. His daughter arrived at Liverpool an hour after "his death. No inquest will be necessary. Immediately after Mr. Arnold fell he was carried to the house of a doctor near by. He was still breathing but was unconscious. The physician poured spirits down his throat, but he never rallied at all and died within four minutes after being taken in doors. The doctors have given a certificate that Mr. Arnold' death was due to heart diseese. Mattlipw Arnold, sty-led by an admirer the "ainte-iieuvc" of English criticism ami one of the greatest nioderu English poets, was the eldest son of lue famous lr. Arnold of Rugby, was born at Laleliani, Bee. 14. l?-2. He was educated at Kugby am! Oxford. A poem on Cromwell attracted attention n 1 won a prize in Ista, one renr ttcfure h5 was graduated. In 1S7 he was elected professor of poetry at Oxford. lie was sent several time by the English government to inquire into the state of education on the continent, especially in France, er niaiiy and Holland. His masterly reports with their pregnant hints and downright statem vits oi FnglHi deficiencies attracted much attention. In lss I a pension of Jt.i50 per annum was conferred upon tdm and in the same year lie made a lecturinflour of this country. H Cime lo Indianapolis and lectured to a large audience in Plymouth church. He holds honorary degrees from Cambridge, L'dinhurph, Oxiord and als Srom an ltaliau order, whh h he obtained aft?r he had charge for two year! of the young I'uke of Genoa, while at Hanover. Arnold became known as a poet of exquisite purity of imagination by the volume published under his Dame in 150 1. consisting of new poems and select! ns from his two earlier volumes signed "A." Id lS.c." he issued a collated edition of his poems in three volumes." Iu both the old aud the new worlds nnglhdi-speaking eopie hive looz recognized Arnold as standing almost in the front rant of modern poets. A critic says that he larked dramatic iustinet, and his "Merope," an Imitation of an old (iroeit piay, apart altogether from its bcinj; an essay ia a lorni tLt h.T hen Ion? dad, was doomed to failure from its lack of dramatis harmony and th R'nse of reality. As a critic he was only less eminent than as a poet. His chief prose writings are Kssays in Criticism, " "lectures on the ."studv of Celtic Literature." "Culmrc and Annixliy," ""luist Lsay.s on Church and Keücion," "Mixed Isays," cad 'Irish üsays." In his contributions to th' oloi;y, !. l"aul and rtestaiitiiu" and I.itoraiiire and I'o-.'iua," the reaoinz piiLlic were no less startled by the audacious application of Iiterarv criticism to relieion than t.y the cx.)tiiltf literary lurm so novel iu works devoted to ucli luesüon.

Ten months ago two mormons commenced to preach their doctrines to the people of Calhoun county, and after some exertion succeeded in gathering quite a large congregation. They also visited among the families of those who attended their meetings aud continued their proselyting work there. It teas noticed that their visits were penerally at homes where there were young unmarried women. Things went on thus for several months until rumors became current that the "missionaries" were practicing their precepts to the seandal nnd disgrace of the community. They were then given two hoars to leave in. The apostles, however, had one friend, William Metz, who stood by them through thick and thin and, it is said, paid their expense?. Since they loft. Metz has been continually persecuted. lie sold his farm and bousrht another and before he could move in the building was bnrned down. Another bought by him was also burned and warnint-s were -ent him to leave the county. His cattle have been poisoned, his wells choked and other things done to make life a misery. Formerly of excellent standing he has not nowone friend and is little better than a tramp. His family are equally as badly treated, and should Metz remain in C alhoun county it is feared that he w ill be foully dealt with. Amid all his trouble Metz adheres to his new belief, mormonisrn.

AN ARMISTICE, SOT PEACE.

BISMARCK TRIUMPHANT FOR A TIME. Empress Victoria Determined on Ilaving Her Own Way-Qo-en Victoria "Will Take n Hand Princes Victoria Anxious A Guelph Combine. Berlin, April U Copyright, 1SS8, by the New York Associated Press. The confiiet between Prince Bismarck and the empress is only momentarily suspended. The truce will not last long, and unless Bismarck becomes a convert to the "Victoria policy" the supreme crisis will result, the issue of which will be the absolute triumph of the chancellor or his temporary retreat from politics. The empress is endeavoring to secure support in every possible quarter, and has applied even to inllttences so opposite as the Itussian and Austrian court for assistance to achieve her purpose. If the czar, w ho i.i being operated upo;i through Copenhagen, could lie induced to scud an as-urance to Bismarck that the Battenberg marriage would not alter the friendly relations between Bussia and Germany, the empress might win. The Austrian imperial family maintain a neutral position in the matter. They dislike Prince Alexander, but would like to see the marriage effected if it would tend to widen the breach betw een Germany and Kussia. The tzar, in the meantime, has shown no disposition to respond to Empress Victoria's overtures, nor is he likely to encourage thein. The opinions of the Bussian court were, lor a brief space, divided. A strong party were in favor of seizing the chance ollered by the Battenberg crisis to overthrow the chancellor. Their plan was to induce the czar to intimate to Emperor Frederick that lie would regard the marriage as a private unfair and thus help' the empress to oust Bismarck. The view of M. DeGiers was that the present crisis was an incident in the ceueral policy of Prince Bismarck to assert himself against the empress. He was of the opinion that Bismarck's fall would lead to a close Anglo-Austrian alliance, which w ould provean immediate source of danger to 5".ussii. Another of M. De (tiers' arguments was that owinvr to the bad health ot Lmptior Kndtrkk the retirement of Prince Bisinarci; would be brief and would-be followed by his return to oliice with a teeling of hostility to every iuiliience that lias been used to overthrow him. 'lhe czar's personal revulsion for Prince Alexander assisted M. He Gicrs to prevail. Although these facta are well known in court circles here the empress perseveres in her efforts to induce at b ust a cessation oi the opposition ot the czar. Among the chiets of the German federation she has the support only of the regent of Bavaria. The king of Saxony's recent journey to Munich was made for the purpose of soliciting the regent to join in declaration of the sovereign heeds in lavor of Prince Bismarck. The king not only tailed in his 'mission, but the em-pre.-s now has reason to rely upon the mediation vi the Bavarian regent, who makes light of the importance of Prince Alexander and wants the chancellor to consent to the betrothal and retain his place. The grand duke of Baden lias joined with tiie kiiiuoi Saxony in upholding Prince Bismarck. The allair is expected to" reach a climax when the queen of England visits Charlottcnburg. That the empress has been prompted by the fjuten mother t thwart Bismarck is denied by the empress' supporters. Some papers among them, the so-called ofiici:il I'uliUrLe Cotrrninndcu: of Vienna, publish a bogus communication alleged to have come fronfthe Berlin foreign office, to the etteet that the queen concurs with l'nnte llhmarek in tiie opinion that the man:a",j is inopportune. 1 lies; deceptions aim to lessen the irritation arising, from the in'eritrence of the queen in (ierman affairs, lteliabie seuii-oihYia! information on the origin of the de eiotoiienis in the J anti-chancellor intrigue prove that the queen was an active inciter ol the B-itteiibe'u' match. A letter from the queen, dated in ls-l, exists in the imperial archives, in which her majesty rccomnieuds Prince Alexander to l.mpertr William as a suitor for the hand of Friiieos Victoria. It is al.o know n that no sooner had Kmjteror William's death been announced than Prince Alexander sent a letter to Emperor Frcderiek asking permission to attend the funeral as a Prussian major-general. Ibis was the opening of the ball. Prinee Alexander was told to v. ait until Easter, w hen the court would be strong enough to over-ride the chancellor, but notwithstanding the unceasing ell oris of Prince Bismarck's enemies they have been unable to prevail against him. lhe impending crisis w iii be the final tussle. It is semi-oilieially announced that (Jueen Victoria's present nrrangements include a visit to Darmstadt, where she will hold a family council w ith the Battenbergs after leaving Charlottenburg. It is still hoped here that she w ill abandon her proposed visit to Berlin altogether. If the arrangements are countermanded it will be a signal that the cabal against Bismarck has collapsed. The attitude of the press toward the projected marriage has been distinctly tlctined. Bismarck lias the unstinted advocacy of the conservative and national liberal papers while the prozressist press has supported the empress, 'lhe Austrian and Hungarian papers favor Battenberg as a Uns i.in irritant. The popular memorials in Berlin, Leipsic, Breslau and other places in favor of Prince Bismarck, .ire meanwhile withdrawn. The crisis recurring, the popular movement will be reawakened, or will produce abundant testimony that Germany resents the court conspiracy to overturn the policy of the chancellor. 'lhe change for the woise in the emperor's tondition, combined with the alarming symptoms proceeding the insertion of the new eanula on Thursday, gave the empress' party a scare. The rapid swelling round the old eanula and the Midden contraction of the air passages intensely alarmed the physicians. Dr. Mackenzie immediately summoned to his assistance Dns. Bergman, Krauz und Hovel!, and succeeded in reducing the swelling before placing ti e new eanula iu the emperor's throat. This incident has again attracted attcution to the precarious state of the vmpercr. The linal crisis may occur at any moment. During the height of the alarm, Dr. Krauz, on beinc asked how the einperor was getting on, is reported to have replied: "lie kts got over it well now, but we dread every to-morrow." Dr. Mackenzie's intended leave of absence has been stopped, lie is directing the manufacture by Berlin makers of a series of eanr.lns adapted to the variations of the malady. The- Sörth .; n. Guzitle tonight says the doctors are of the opinion that no unfavorable change will occur for at least f ix weeks, l he emperor bus now no feeling of choking. The swelling below the eanula was due to cnrtilajrenous inthnnniation. The Tiie difficulty in breathing was removed by the insertion of a new eanula. This announcement does not lessen the public anxiety. Berlin is expectant of a fresh impulse throuch negotiations tor new loans. The Spanish government is treating nkh the Disconto gesellschaft for further facilities; the Rome municipality applies for a loan to the Bleichroders, and the success of the Mexican issue has emboldened other Central and South American f'overnmcnts to make overtures to German pankers. A strong bourse party, chiefly uspociatcd with home enterprises, condemns the threatened outburst of foreign loaus, and its opposition will probably prevent over-spe-ulation. The first business on resumption of the session of the landtag will be the votes on a bill for the relief of the sufferers by the floods. This will be follow ed by a measure to restore the property of the religious orders authorized to return to Prussia; a bill relatiijg to free tuition in the primary schools, and the proposal of Herr Von Eynncin to impose upon communes. ami towns ii large liare of the police charges. Dr. Windthorst's demand for extended control by the clergy of education in primary M hools wiil lead to a heated debate. J he programme of the session on the w hole lu.s not changed in interest. Sectarian feeling has been excited over the proposal of the RrichMf, the organ of the prt'testant evangelicals, tliMt the national memorial to the laj l'mperor William be a p rot est tit cathedral replacin" the present dome in Berlin. The OVrmamiivmA the entire catholic press have rem ntcd the proposition that money be taken from a population that is two-tilths catholic and be applied to the building of a Protestant cathedral. The AaHonol Xeitunj has argued that as Prussia contributed to the completion of the Cologne cathedral, the objection of the catholics to contribute to a national Protestant

cathedral is untenable. Meanwhile, the controversy continues. The commission appointed by the enineror to reoort the best form of ruon

umentisnot likely to approve the eathedrul project, but rather to adopt the AorfA German uuzritr a su.tsnou lur u iiiiuvo.u jjunuicuil. Beports.ironi Leipsie, Munich, Bremen and elsewhere concur in stating that there has been a renewal of activity in socialist circles. The authorities are working hard to repress the socialists and are a?tively engaged in scan hing the domiciles of suspected parties. At Klberi'eld -ten arrests have been made, nt Barmen eleven und at Munich twenty, including a number of persons who figured in the recent congress at St. Gail. The Munich trial will cause crcat interest, as polite fpies who were thought to be trusted members of socialists' associations will appear as witnesses. The international sugar trade congress has been fixed to meet nt Cassel during" whitsun. Six hundred delegates will be present. A RED-HOT "FRIZZER" DID IT. A Philadelphia Kelle Will Not Wear Decollet e l)resei for the Present. PniLADELLilIA, April 11. Pretty little Miss Helen Forster, a fascinating belle, wont wear her dresses cut decollete pt the social gatherings of her set for awhile, as she is obliged, through a singular and painful, though most serious accident, to wear just now linen cloths spread with cold cream on her fair back and shoulders. Miss Helen was in the midst of her toilet last evening, preparatory to making herself particularly attractive to expected company. Mie was engaged in the feminine occupation of enhancing her charms by curling into tiny ringlets the locks of blonde hair that nature had placed on the nrpe of her neck. To do this nicely she used as they say thousands of other girls do. but may stop doing after they hear of the accident that befell lis Helen a long ordinary slate pencil, heated in the gas llare to such a degree that it almost singed her golden locks c she w rapped them around it. At the very moment of performing this, to her, necessary function in her toilet Miss Helen was only lightly clad. She had got along in a satisfactory manner with one bunch of stray locks, nnd was proceeding in the frizzing process, when, horrible to relate, the redhot pencil slipped from her lingers dow u her back. It had gone into the opening between her single garment and her lily white skin. She screamed n cry of pain r nd uttered calls for help that would have alarmed the neighborhood if windows had been raised, for the hot 'frizzcr" was frizzling her back into blisters. She twisted and squirmed in the hope that the hot pencil would lind its way to the floor, but it was stayed in its course, and made her flesh quiver as it burned. Betöre the pencil could be removed Miss Helen's back hau been seared into rows of red, ugly-looking blisters from her shoulders to her waist, as though the bad been gridironcd by the red-hot frizzing pencil as it rolled down her back. Poor Miss Helen suffered intense pain till her baikw as smeared with cooling ointment arid covered with liut. A NEW HAVEN SENSATION. School Girls Have lhc!r Pictures Taken In Ballet Banters' Costumes. Nov Haven, Corn., April 12. A lively social sensation developed through the police officials to-day, implicating an official of the U. S. signal office, w ho is a prominent amateur photographer, in the use of his camera for the purpose of obtaining photographs of school irls in costumes usually worn by ballet, concert nnd burlesque actresses. The police allege that a t-hort time ago two young school girls were invited by a Mr. Roland, an employe of a lottery and card scheme, to visit the company's rooms, adjoining Signal Sergt. Sherman's oilice. T' e girls were shown a collection oi j ic?un s siiutur ta those known sis "cigarette pictures," and, after some urging, one of them exchanged Iier street costume for a suit of tight., end before" she mistrusted anything wrorg. the trirl claims, the camera, which was in an adjoining room, was spuing, catching a very striking picture. The young lady was indignant and told her father, who called on fc-ergt. tsherman, and alter a stormy interview, t-ecured the necrative. The other girl could not be induced to don the burlesque eostome. Roland admit that the picture was taken, but denus any cllurement on his part. He states that the girls called on him. bringing; a number of cigarette pictures and asked him (Roland) if he could not assist in bavin? some similar ones taken. After some preliminary arrangement the girls were taken to another room and photographed. The police intimate that this line of business has been carried oitquite extensively in this city aud that photographs have been distributed through the card companies. Sheruiau's story could not be obtained to-night. CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF. Venezuela Able to Fight Her Own llattles The Boundary Question.' Chicago, April 15. Col. David W.

To the consul ot Venezuela at Chicago Mayor Hewitt an Anieilcan. New York, April 10. Mayor Hewitt to-day transmitted to the common council a stirring message disapproving the resolution taking from the mayorthepowerof directingwhat flags shall be displayed upon the city buildings. In it he shows that while the Irish born population amounts to 1U5 per cent., 27 per cent, of the board of aldermen are Irish, more than one and one-half times the normal ratio of representation, and that the same ratio of representation prevails in all the departments except the poliere, where 23.10 percent, are Irish born, nearly double the noruud per centage. This, he declares, ii at the expense of the German clement. He gives a tabulated account of national renresentations in offices and in charitable institutions. He states that he does not publish the tables to invoke comment, but declares that under our free government and boundless resources, the Irish malcontents should exhibit a modest restraint in claiming privileges not now know n to the law and not desired by the more conservative portion of the nationality in whose favor the exception is demanded. He advised the board of aldermen to adopt some measure whereby the vexed question may be made squarely an issue before the people. In Honor of President Lincoln. Springfield, JH., April 13.

Mr. Conkling is quite strong, comparatively speaking, owing to the amount of nourishment which he has been taking. His pulse is 04, temperature IfJ and respiration normal. Dr. Sands dressed the wound. Mr. Conkling cotnIdained a great deal of the pain, which Dr. barker proi. ounces a good sign, as it shows the sensitiveness of the patient, whose system must be improving to feef the pain so acutely. The wound has begun to heal, and Dr. Barker expresses himself as being decidedly hopeful, so much so that he will not, unit ss called upon, visit Mr. Conkling; until 2 or 3 o'clock this afternoon. About noon Col. Fred Grant tame out of Mr. Conkling's apartments. Iicd spoken io he said, "Everything in the house looks bright and smiling to-day. Mrs. Conkling looks us though she has lost a f great weivht of trouble from her mind. Mie is intinitely relieved by the good news imported to her by the doctors.

He said: "Mr. Conkling is greatly improved, and bis chances are greatly increased. His pulse ami temperature are unchanged, and the fact that he no longer talks in his delirium is a good sign." Vhen asked if the critical point had been reached he said: "No, not yet." The senator had treated the doctor very courteously,-and they indulged in a little persiflage. In giving the senator his milk, w hielt he at once trank, the doctor asked him was it nice. He replied, "very nice." The doctor then asked was it delicious. He replied: "No, no; not delieiou, but very nice." Dr. Barker ollered to dress his WMuud, fcnd heaked could he not wait five minutes. The doctor said it was necessary to get through with it, and he replied: "Ihi: it will not matter if we wait live minutes." To-night w:s the first time he has taken the glass of milk in his own han-L lie has taken twenty-seven ounces of nourishment since the afternoon visit of the doctor. Alderman Conkling left the house soon nfter Dr. Barker. He seems much more hopeful, and tohl a reporter that be now thought that his uncle would recover. . "I think he Is better to-day." he added, "than at any time siuce he was taken sick." ...- Henry Melville, Senator Conkling's former business associate, who called during the evening, said: T am glad to see that the incoherent talking has ceased. I think the chances of his recovery are now more favorable than thoy have been lor some time past. Dr. Anderton is now in charge, and will remain at the house all nivrlit. )Jr. Conkliir' has taken several ounces of milk since noon, ami is half sleeping and half dozing and no longer raves or tosses about in the bed.

Y., April 12. "Happy Bob" Yanbrunt, a member of the Salvation Army, will be hanged at Warsaw, N. Y., to-morrow for the murder of Frank Roy. Bob was courting Fva Roy, Frank's sister. Frank objected, and in a quarrel whieh resulted Dob shot and killed his sweetheart's brother. An unusual scene was enacted in the governor's room today in connection with this case. Miss Roy arrived here last evening and this morning made an impassioned appeal to Gov. Hill to commute Vanbrunt's sentence to imprisonment for life. The governor received her kindly, listened to her appeal, went over the points in the case and tried to show her how, as he saw it, there was no ground on which executive clemency could be extended, and concluded by saying the law must take its course. Miss Roy grew deathly pale at these words and her head dropped and she fell in a faint. A physician was summoned and restoratives applied. It was half an hour before (die recovered. Looking about her iu a dazed sort of way, she cried, "Poor Bob, poor Bob," and sank back upon the sofa in another swoon. Finding that she recovered consciousness only to relapse into unconsciousness, it w as decided to send her to a hospital, which was done. Her eyes were glassy, her face hot and feverish, and she seemed oblivious to everything going on around her. The girl is completely broken down and there is no end of pity for her. The belief is general that she is still in love with Yanbrunt, though she denies it and declares the hates him. Thief Sdiot iu the Act.

The pipe is eight inches in diameter and each section is twenty-two feet lonif. To lay one mile requires 240 sections. - As h car-load con tains only forty-eight, it necessitates rive carloads for each mile, or about 1,0.j0 car-loads for the whole line. Tiie joints are similar to those used in gas and steam fitting, and will be equally tight. The estimated cost of the line, w ithout the pumping machinery and reservoirs, is about 7.000 per mile.
