is founded on an actual

occurrence which took place in Kaples during the la*t ftcathtng visitation of the cholera In 1884. It ia a story of an outraged husband'ft vengence In Italy, where the verbosity and red tape of the law, and the hesitating veniJct of apeclal Juries, are not considered sufficiently efficacious to sooth a man's damaged honor and ruined name. It is an illustration that whether right or wrong strange and awful deeds are perpetrated of which the world knows nothing, and which when brought to light at last, are received with surprise and incredulety. It shows that the romances planned by the brain of the novelist or dramatist are poor In comparison with the romances of real life life wrongly termed common place but which, In fact, teems with tragedies as great and dark and soul torturing as any hertoforedevised. It Is a story most Intensely interesting from begin ing to end, and no one who once commences it will want to lay It down until the end Is reached.

SOME NEW FEATURES

Will be Introduced from time to time to make The Saturday Evening Mall more popular than ever as a family paper, and to bold Its claim as

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

A COUW.K of Chilian war ships are 'cruising around in European waters 'while their people at home settle their troubles with olvll war.

AN earthquake struck Evansyille last Sunday night. This is about the first time in its history the town has ever been struck by anything worthy of record.

ItusaiA wants the assistance of France in her political ventures, but when it oatno to drinking to the success of the republic tho czarexeused himself. In his opinion republicanism and nihilism arosynonymous terms.

ANexchangosays thatcases of Insanity have been reported from the use of cigarettes. If It had said that the use of cigarettes is an evidence of idiocy or softening of tbo brain it would have been much nearer the truth.

EX-PUKMIHRNT CLSVKIJANO announces that ho Is not open for political engagements this year, either In Ohio or any othor state. He is going to take no chances of making a Droak which might everlastingly rulu his prospects next year. .••••••-

A LAPAYKTOS woman recently had one fof her logs turn to stone. Cases of jaw turning to brass are not uncommon, bat thlii Is the first time a lower extremity has gone on record as having turned to stone. It knocks Bvansville's earthquake clear out.

EVANHVIU.K ts now posing as a summer resort. Any person wanting to enjoy a nice quiet time at a spot where they will have no romlnder of business or care of any kind should go to the villasre on the Ohio, where they can rest In the quiet of the tomb.

THK great and only Charley Power has turned his iron jaw leose in Texas. Although It is an article similar to that with which Sampson slew so many Philistines it is not in the hands of Mampson, nor Is it expected that it will materially reduce the Democratic majority in the Lone Star state.

A CHICAGO politician has refused to accept the appointment of minister to Liberia, and a committee has been appointed to inquire into his mental condition with a view to insanity proceedings. In the history of the country this is the first Chicago politician who was ever known to refuse anything.

Tare president has recognised Indiana again by appointing Gen. Dan Maeauley chief of the appointment division of the treasury department, The general was a gallant officer during the war, was mayor of Indianapolis for a time, and is one of the most popular men In the stale.

A RkvoRT comes from Sen Francisco that arms and ammunition have been shipped in large quantities In baled hay from that city to the Chilian insurgents. This remind* one of war times in this country, when the same articles were •hipped into Indiana labeled "Sunday School Books."

THB Republican editors of Ulinoia held a meeting it* Chicago this week, and were enthusiastically la favor of Blaine for the presidency next year. In 1888 they were all Gresbam men, and time doesn't seem to have reconciled them to the nomination and election of Harrison.

Mr. Blaine has been given,a rest this week, but Mr. Cleveland was dragged from the obecurity which he has been adorning for some time to show that he is still alive and a candidate.

A«xRDn»6 to the census statistics tho counties of Adams, Benton, Brown, Davies, Greene, Hancock Jay, Martin, Ohio, Orange, Ripley, Soott, Steuben, Switzerland, Union, White, Morgan and Newton, all in this state, had no prisoners in their jails on the first of Jo&e, 1890. It will be observed that Vigo is not in the list. This cpunty alwaytf* manages to keep away above the average. The jail is comfortable, the board is good and bums plentiful—consequently it is always full.

ON Tuesday last a jury found V^ra. J. Elliott, former editor and proprietor of the Sunday Capital of Columbus, Ohio, guilty of murder in the second degree, the punishment for which is imprisonment for life. Last February Elliott shot and killed Albert C. Osborne, a re(jprter on another paper, and W. L. Hughes, a bystander, besides wounding a number of people. The trial commenced on the 11th of MayJjtlt As the murder was the direct lesult of personal journalism, no one can condemn the verdict. Men who indulge in abuse of their neighbors without just provocation and follow it up to the extent of taking life, are entitled to no sympathy, no matter how severe the penalty whioh may be inflicted.

THB first street railway in the world, for passengers, was built ln||jNew York In 1831, and the second lib© was not opened until 1852. Edison operated the first electric road in Menlo Park in 1880, and as a business enterprise it was first operated in Chicago in 1888. The first overhead electrlo railway was constructed in Kansas City in 1885, and now electric lines are revolutionizing the methods of building cities. In this city the experience with the new method has been so satisfactory that a proposition to return to the old method would be a signal for an uprising of the people. Even the staid old town of Vincennes is putting in an electric plant, while Evansville, with all its pretensions, sticks to the time honored oustom of using mule power. But then Evansville has always had a kindly feeling towards the projector of the mule. The original name of tho town was Lamasco, which was taken from the at one time famous "Lame Ass Compauy," whioh settled on the banks of the Ohio and gave the town its start by purchasing crippled animals of the species named and repairing them for market in ville doesn't time honored friend, and will stick to the mule car long after it has been forgotten in other more favored oommu-

An eflbrt is being made to have Evansville come up here for three games, commencing to-morrow, and as the two dubs have been playing better games than any in the west, the games would doubtless be well patronised, as they should be. It this arrangement does net carry Manager Brackett hsa an offer

wou.d Hup. Th« people oftb.t town did not patronixe the games in a manner at all satisfactory to the club managers, so the organisation disbanded, leaving the three Indiana clubs in at the inish. This was not unexpected, although it was hoped that the echedule would be played through. It is, however giatlfying to know that Terre Haute was the most successful member of the league financially, and was in excellent condition to finMh the eeason at the head of the list. The truth of the matter is the members of the league were too much scattered. If a good state league conld be organised next season more interest would be taken In It, there would be greater rivalry, and the public would have just as good ball playing.

Otoe of the most delightful entertainments ever given in the city was that at the residence ot Mrs. Lydi® Black, corner of Twenty-fifth street and Washington avenue, last evening, by Mies Cootie Black and Harry E. Pinkley, in honor of the letter's twenty-fifth birthday. There were 240 invitations issued, and of these all were accepted save five or six Great pr.por.tion. hsd bw» n-de la* EMdej, H.len All.n, Anwn Halmw .« VuMiita Ham) \fnnnn HaIIIa V/WWnAAfi

the occasion. In the front yard, among the cedars, a platform 35x50 feet had been laid for the dancers. The grounds were brilliantly lighted by Chinese lanterns of many celors and locomotive headlights. The full Ringgold orchestra was present and furniBbed the txftuio in its usual excellent style for the twelye regu-

progranHe. Refreshments were served during the evening, and consisted of ice cream, ieea, cakes and lemonade. The ladies were all tastefully dressed in the richest attire and latest styles. It was an elegant aflair, carefully planned in all its details, and carried into exeeation so suceessfally that even the most fastidious taste eould find no fault. It was a treat long to be remembered, and when the party broke up this morning each departing guest heartily wished the host many such retarns of the day. Among the young ladies present were:
