The lease of the present company expired some time ago, bat they cpntjnned to run, despite the city's protest. Kenoyer's bank, at Leon, Kan., was visited by burglars and about $2,000 secured. The robbery was evidently the work of amateurs, the tools having been stolen from a blacksmith shop. The safe was blown to fragments and the building was wrecked. Quarrels over petty matters by J. E. De Gette and Ms wife of David City, Neb., canted the bridegroom to attempt suicide

by shooting in the sick room of his bride in the Victoria Hotel in Chicago. Wounded, probably fatally, a ballet having pierced his left lung. Seven convicts in a bolt shop at the Ohio penitentiary struck at Columbus, on the ground that their daily task had been increased.

At Kansas City, Mo., Cornelius Linehan has begun suit for >2,20Q damages against the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad Company, on account of the death of his son. The son was one of Torrey’s “rough riders,’’ and was killed in the wreck of a military train. John Kerr, who killed his father-in-law, John Reid, at Valley, Neb., a year ago, was convicted of murder in the second degree. The murder grew out of an attempt of Kerr to secure a reconciliation with his divorced .wife, during which the young man was severely beaten by Reid. As a result of a competition between McConnellsville and Zanesville river packets, the Valley Gem and Zanetta, in racing for Taylorsville locks on the Muskingum, collided, and the whole side of the Zanetta was crushed in. By heroic efforts of the crew the boat was kept afloat and no lives were lost. A panic occurred on the St. Louis levee among the crowds striving to board ferryboats in order to go out on the river and inspect the gunboat Nashville, which was anchored off the foot of Market street, and half a dozen persons were tumbled into the river.

They were separated, but were not divorced. Mahoney claimed that his wife had saved the money from his earnings. The case did not get to trial. Mrs. Mahoney’s lawyers simply demurred to the case, saying it had no standing in court, because a husband could not sue a wife, although either one' might sue or be sued by a third party. The judge dismissed the case. For the first time in fifteen years, R. W. Wagner, a prominent citizen of Bucyrus, Ohio, was able the other day to speak. In 1885 he was afflioted with illness which left him mute. Long treatment by skilled physicians failed to restore the power of speech, and he had despaired of ever recovering, but while holding a little child on his lap, he was seized with a sudden desire to speak to her, and to his surprise was able to do so. His voice has an unnatural sound, but aside from this he speaks as well as ever. There was a riot between the prohibitionists and the liquor element at Alva, Ok., and a dozen citizens have been nursing wounds in consequence. The pastor of the First Methodist Church, the Rev. Alexander Ross, entered Gene Hardwick’s saloon and commenced shooting at him. Hardwick quickly returned the fire and both fell mortally wounded. Others, partisans on both sides, quickly gathered, and before the officers could get the crowd under control six others had to be carried away. They were wounded seriously. The prohibitionists have been making every effort to get the saloons closed, but have failed.

The girl was terribly mutilated, her head being split open with an ax and her throat cut. Hearing that a force of 500 citizens of Elkins, W. Va., was on the way to Beverly to remove the county records pending the settlement of the question of the location of the county seat, citizens fortified the county buildings and prepared to resist the Elkins people. The latter turned back on hearing of these preparations.

J , British soldiers and warships from Hong Kong have taken formal possession of Kow-Loon, opposite that city. The present trouble is the result of a sudden,

-ran*wol aF a nutivo AnfWM&lt’iAn tn ' control of the ceded territory. Citizens of Matanza. called upon Maj. Gen. J. H. Wilson, governor of that province, to ask for the revocation of the decree prohibiting cock fighting. Gen. Wilson said: “The civil governor has prohibited mains, and they must not exist.” Advices from St. Petcrsburgtell of the report of an engineering expedition which has just returned from Port Arthur with accounts of the discovery of gold fields in Russian territory in Kamchatka which equal in richness the mines of the Klondike.

A fearful explosion occurred at Kurt’s chemical works, St. Helen’s, England, killing four persons and seriously injuring twenty. Fire broke out in the chlorate house and eighty tons of chlorate exploded. Subsequently the boiler burst and tbe whole works were razed.

The Chinese Government, in acknowledging the receipt of a communication regarding the Anglo-Russian agreement as to spheres of interest in China, expressly declares the acknowledgment in nowise implies acquiescence.

The Hondo coal mines, 100 miles south of Eagle Pass, in Mexico, were struck by a terrific cyclone, and the offices, depot and other buildings were wrecked. Eight persons are known to have perished. The Morgan-Vanderbilt combination is getting control of Ohio railroads. The Cleveland, Akron and Columbus has been sold to the Pennsylvania company and negotiations are under way for the control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. • R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: “To speak truly of business this week, one must free the mind of stocks. For a severe decline in manufacturing stocks has created an impression that it has some relation to productive industry, but it has none. There was no change in the money market worth mentioning, and the volume of business shown by payments through the principal clearing houses was 71.5 per cent larger than in 1592, the year of greatest prosperity hitherto, which is more than double the gain anybody considered possible a year ago. Never before reaching 250,000 tons per week, the iron manufacture reports May 1 an output of 250,095 tons weekly. Greater than in any previous year by 9.8 per cent, the actual shipments of boots and shoes from the East reflect a heavy business, with a general advance in prices. Hides at Chicago advanced about 1 per cent. Cotton is a shade stronger. Prices of wool are said to have been generally advanced, with higher demands from the interior holders. Failures for the week have been 165 in the United States, against 246 last year, and 20 in Canada, against 24 last year.”

FOOT UP LOSSES IN CUBA.

Foreign ffesidewta Have Ctaisn Aggregatia* Willie—. The State Department has ben infsraaally advised that claims aggregating a «*- siderable amount have ben made by the British, French and German remdeatn in Cuba during the recent iarnrrerttaa. and that these ultimately wiD be preened against t£e United States Gsvenwnt The French claims aggregate between 13,000,000 and 15,000,000 francs. The German claims are understood to be sdigtetty under those of the French, while the British claims are said to be eanmderaWy snore than either the French or German. These foreign claims are quite dtattact from those of citizensof the United States, originally against Spain, far damages sustained in Cuba during tte xnsnrrection. The peace treaty specifically provided for these American rfatawts, releasing Spain and stating that the United States would make such uctlkmi at as was proper. Under this Hanse Haims aggregating several millions hare tare filed. No provision, however, was made by the treaty for foreign claimants, and there appears to be much donbt as to who is Cable since the sovereignty over Cuba has passed out of the hands of Spain.

A GIGANTIC RAILWAY TRUST.

The Railways o< Ftoe State, to W Clatter <tae Management. In the course of a few weeks it » expected that a railroad trust will reartral all the lines between Boston and Ctaeag*. The principal object of the eonsblidatis. is to prevent rate cutting, and ia this respect the trust will take the ptaoe «C the Joint Traffic Association which the Supreme Court of the United States decided last fall was an illegal organisation. The Vanderbilt, the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio lines each rente's! a great many short lines, and these giants are now negotiating the trust which wfft virtually place under one eseretire management all the railways in New Teak, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and HGassta While the lines will all ta under roe executive management each of the three Mg systems will directly control the walhw lines along its main arteries.
