Ij^auTZEJST NEWS BI TELEGRAPH. CIRCLING THE GLOBE. A WEEK’S IMPORTANT OCCURRENCES CONCISELY SUMMARIZED. Intelligence by Electric Wire from Every Quarter of the Civilized World, Embracing Foreign Affairs and Home Happenings of an Important Nature. A NEW DECISION. , The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Breaks the Record. The Supremo Court of Pennsylvania has rendered a remarkable decision relative to the trial of persons charged with murder. It was decided that a disagreement of the jury in murder trials is equivalent to an acquittal, and that the accused person cannot be again arraigned for trial after one jury has failed to agree. The ground for the decision is the Constitution, which says that a man cannot more than once be put in jeopardy of “life and limb.” The Supreme Court in its decision declares that the Constitution is clear on the point raised, and this fact makes it remarkable that the point was never raised before. Many men have been tried for murder a second time, convicted, and hanged, and it would be interesting to know how many have been unconstitutionally hanged in Pennsylvania. The decision will have the effect of releasing several men who are now awaiting trial after juries in their first trial had disagreed. Hereafter it will be much more difficult to convict a man of murder in Pennsylvania, since the lawyers need only work for a disagreement in order to save their clients. KNIGHTS OF LABOR. They Adjourn Without Selecting a Place for the Next Meeting. The Knights of Labor General Assembly, in session at Indianapolis, Ind., adjourned without selecting a place for the next meeting, the question being referred to the General Executive Board. It will be either Atlanta, New Orleans, or Albany. The Blair educational bill and a recommendation to establish junior locals were indorsed. A resolution severely denouncing the Provisional Committee was referred back to the Committee on Hesolutions without action. Mr. Powderly was given the privilege of appointing the committee to investigate the Philadelphia office, and named Delegates McGee, Beaton, and Gannon. HIS CRIME FOUND OUT. Another Cleveland Man Who Was Trusted Is Short in His Accounts. Charles E. Stanley, for many years Treasurer of the Cleveland, Ohio, GasLight and Coke Company, and a man who stood high in business, society and Masonic circles, has been found short in his accounts to the amount, it is said, of about $22,000. He is supposed to be in California. Stanley is a thirty-third degree Mason, a Past Grand Master of the order in Ohio, and was Treasurer of the Webb Lodge in Cleveland. He was also short about SI,OOO in his accounts with the lodge. PENSIONS TO WIDOWS PAID. Thousands of Cases Under the Act of June 7 Settled Without Expense. A statement prepared at the Pension Bureau shows that of the 15,000 estimated cases under act of June 7. 1888, allowing widows arrears of pension from the date of their husbands’ death, 14,502 have already been allowed and settled without expense to the government. The Commissioner expresses the hope that widows having claims under the act of June 7 will speedily file the same in the pension office. The Election in Indiana. The official canvass of the Indiana vote gives this result on electors, the vote of the leading candidates on each ticket beiug given: Republican, 263,361; Democrat, 261.013; Prohibition,9,Bßl; Union Labor, 2,694. Harrison’s plurality, 2,348. The plurality of the lowest Republican elector over the lowest Democratic elector is 2,434. The total vote for Governor was only 139 less than for President. Gen. Hovey’s plurality is 2,191. The largest plurality received by any candidate the State ticket was 3,361, received by’ LaFollette, candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction. No New Cases. The Board of Health of Jacksonville, Fla., reported for the twenty-four hours ended at 6 p. in., Tuesday, Nov. 27th, no new cases and no deaths. There were not more than twenty cases in that city and all were out of danger. Restrictions on travel will be removed as soon as disinfection shall have been completed, which will be as early as possible. Jay Eye See. Jay Eye See, owned by J. I. Case, of Racine, Wis., and valued at $40,(100, was found in his pasture almost dead from loss of blood, caused by stepping on some sharp substance that severed an artery. The recovery of the famous trotter is uncertain. Bis record is 2:10. Church Properly Destroyed. The new church of the First Congregational Society at Northampton, Mass., has been ruined by lire; It cost $65,000. The insurance is $50,000. Three firemen narrowly escaped death. Dividend Declared. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company have declared a dividend of 2% per cent against 2 per cent in May. and the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore one ot 4 per cent against 3 per cent in May. Sudden Death. Judge Frederick W. Viehe died suddenly in his home at Vincennes, Ind. ■ EASTERN OCCURRENCES. — A New York telegram says: The first | snow storm of the coming winter raged in j this city and along the seaboard of the I New England and Middle States on the 25th, and was of blizzard vigor. As night came on sleet and hail followed the snow and ice particles, like sharpened points, rendering street pedestrianism impossible without suffering. Even in the harbor lower bay 7 ships dragged their anchors under the force of the fierce tempest, one ship having nearly collided with the feverplagued ship, Boston, while drifting out to sea. She and others that had been torn from anchorage were towed to safety by : tugs. A pilot-boat was unable to hold to j anchorage, and sought a pier. Off Staten ; Island, near Sailors’ Snug Harbor, a canal- ! boat, loaded with coal, was sunk, and a brick-laden schooner went to pieces, her I crew escaping. In New York City the i mercury stood at 28 at midnight. A story is told in New Brunswick, N. J., of the ravages of a strange animal among the farm-yards of the farmers on the Great Bear swamp. Many farmers have lost sheep and hogs. No one has seen the animal except a hired man, who says it is a big black monster with horns about twice the size of a sheep. Last winter sheep and pigs disappeared just as now and the only trace of their

J whereabouts was a serious of irregular, I oddly shaped tracks. Many' thought that i their peculiar irregularity’ marked them । as those of a kangaroo and it was supposed that such an animal, having escaped from i the Philadelphia “Zoo, ” had sought refuge in the wilds of Jersey. The identity of the mysterious animal still remains a I secret. Farmers will organize and hunt for it. “Dock” Haggerty’ was unloading i glycerine at Pleasantville, Venango ’ County, Pa. He had 1,040 pounds of it ; in a wagon, when it exploded by some means and Haggerty’ was literally annihilated. Parts of his two horses were found in neighboring trees. A piece of the wagon was found half a mile away. Mrs. | Gutschaw, in a house in the vicinity’, was seriously injured from falling timbers. i The explosion was heard twelve miles distant. | ~~ WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Four Marion, Ind., butchers bought the same five beeves of Charles Clark, each paying in cash. Clark is missing and each butcher is claiming the cattle. Spurgeon Perry, aged 89, at one time possessed of a fortune estimated at $1,000,000, accumulated in the patentmedicine business, has been sent to the Brooklyn (N. Y.) poor-house at his own request. Jerome Millet, one of the oldest residents of Hastings, Neb., is dead. A fatal accident occurred on the Denver & Rio Grande track at a little station named Husted, fifteen miles north of Colorado Springs, Col., 1 by which two men were killed and several fatally injured. The Salt Lake express was thundering down the “divide” at a terrific, speed, when, on turning a curve one mile south of Husted, the engineer was horrified to see the Rock Island express dashing toward him less than three hundred feet away. The engineers and firemen of both trains jumped, and a moment afterward the engines came together with a thundering crash, telescoping the ears of both trains and rendering them a mass of broken timber and iron. The upsetting of the stove iu the Rio Grande j baggage-car set fire to the train, and before the flames could be extinguished three cars were consumed. Fortunately no one was imprisoned in them, and but two men, both belonging to the crew, were killed. W. H. Phillipps, express messenger, and J. H. Flinn, both of the Rock Island, were killed. Martin Numee, engineer of the Rio Grande, had his skull fractured, and will die. Joseph Berry, engineer of the Rock Island, was badly' hurt, and Harry Smith, fireman on. the Rio Grande, was fatally' injured. Several others were injured, but not seriously. Jake and Joe Tobler (colored) were executed in the county jail at Wichita, Kan., by’ the Federal authorities. The crime for which they were executed was the killing of Cass and Goodykuntz, near the Sac and Fox agency, in August, 1885. The murdered men were engaged in business in Vinita in Indian Territory, and on their way to northern Texas camped about one mile from the Sac and Fox Agency. While asleep they were murdered. The Tobler boys were soon after arrested with the property’ of the murdered men in their possession and confessed their guilt in the presence of a number or people. Five hundred ladies of Denver, Col., will, if permitted, march in the inauguration parade at Washington on the 4th of March. The boiler in the chair factory at Cochran, Ind., exploded, killing William Bencke, John Stark, and William Matthews, Jr., and severely injuring Fred Prince, the engineer. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. At Livingstone, Ala., Henry James (colored) and his wife went to a church supper, leaving their three children locked up in the house. Upon their return they found the house in ashes and the children burned to a crisp. Fire has destroyed the business part of Pocomoke City, Worcester County, Md. The loss is nearly $500,000. No lives were lost. John L. Bryan, son of Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, an authoress living in New York, is a fugitive from Lloyd's, Jefferson County, Fla., with a charge of murder hanging over him. The crime was committed on election night, and was shocking in its details. About a month ago a fight occurred iu the mill-house at Lloyd’s Station, in which John L. Bryan was seriously cut with a knife, and for some time it was thought that the wound would prove mortal. Judson Caseon, a negro living over the Jefferson County line in Leon, was charged with the crime, and a warrant was issued against him. On the evening of election day Bryan and two others enticed Caseon across the county boundary line, where they arrested him, tied his hands behind him with a rope, and locked him up for the night in the depot warehouse of Lloyd’s. Early in the night some men put him in a wagon and carted him to Mixcoankle Sin^s, two miles distant. There his body was found. It had been shockingly cut up, and live or six big stones had been lied to it to insure its sinking. It was probably placed in the water before life was extinct, and it is believed that the man died of strangulation, although the wounds were frightful and sufficient to eventually cause death. Andrew Hunter died at his residence at Charlestown, Jefferson County, W. Va.. aged 84. He was a leading attorney and s was appointed Prosecutor for Virginia during the famous John Brown trials. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. An Indianapolis, Ind., special says: “There are two Indianapolis Republicans who are aspirants for the position of Pub- । lie Printer. One is Colonel W. R. Holloway, a relative of the late O. P. Morton, who was prominent as one of the Indiana supporters of Judge Gresham, and the other is L. W. McDaniel, an Indianapolis printer who has been a leader in the local labor organizations, and who gave important aid to Gen. Harrison during the campaign. There are many Republicans, however, who believe that Capt. William M. Meredith, of Chicago, will be chosen for the position. He was ! a member of Gen. Harrison’s regiment ; during the late war, and it is well known that the President-elect has a warm feel- | ing for him. ” v The Postmaster General has submitted i to the Secretary of the Treasury his esti- j i mates for appropriations for the postal I service for the fiscal year ending June 30, ! | 1890. They aggregate $66,812,073. as I ’ against $60,860,233, the appropriation for | I the present fiscal year. In the item o’ I mail-bags and mail-bag catchers, the esti- I mates are $60,000 less than the appro) nation for the present year, and the sum of locks and keys is SIO,OOO less than for the present year. These reductions, it is said, , are occasioned by the systematic repair of all defective pouches and bags and by the bringing into use of locks which have accumulated in the various postoffices throughout the country. The revenues of ] the department for the fiscal year ending ! June 30, 1890 are estimated at $62,508,658, j | which is an increase of $9,813,482 over the | I revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, । 1888, and an increase of $4,544,324 over i the estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1889. This will leave an api parent deficiency for the year ending June 30, 1890, of $4,403,414. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. Chairman Quay has called a meeting of the Executive Committe of the Republican National Committee for Wednesday, | Dec. 5, at Washington. The official canvass of the vote of Michigan gives Harrison a plurality of 22,966.

The total number of votes cast was 475,- । 260, an increase of 12,860 over four years i ago, divided as follows: Harrison, 236,370; . ; Cleveland, 213,404; Fisk, 20,942; Streeter, l ; 4,542. ; I The official returns for South Carolina ! are: Cleveland, 65,825; Harrison, 13,850; ■ Democratic majority, 52,085. The total j vote is 11,932 less than four years ago. . ; The Democratic majority is 4,054 greater, i Democratic Congressmen are elected in the seven districts of the State. । The official returns from New Mexico show the election of Joseph (Dem.) to Congress over Otero (Rep.) by 1,730 majority. The Legislature stands as follows: House—Republicans, 15; Democrats, 9. Council—Republicans, 7; Democrats, 4; Independent, 1. The official vote of Florida is as fol1 lows: Cleveland, 39,561; Harrison, 26,659; Fisk, 403. Cleveland's plurality, 12,902, ACROSS THE OCEAN. A Dublin telegram says that a Kerry farmer named Daly has been murdered near Tralee. He lately came from America and took a farm from which a tenant ; had been evicted. It was at first supposed : that the crime was committed by moon- ' lighters, but the evidence at the inquest J leads to the belief that the murder was | the result of a family feud. The boy who j notified Daly’s wife of the murder testified ! that she declared that she was glad, as । she would now have the land for herself, j and that the matter had cost her many | tears during the last year. Mackie & Co.’s steamer Newburg of Leith, while on a voyage from Grangemouth to Aaruss with coal, foundered iu the North Sea. Sixteen persons were drowned and one was rescued and landed in Norway. INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. An Indianapolis (Ind.) special says that the election of officers of the Knights of j Labor resulted as follows: I Daniel J. Campbell, of Scranton, Fa.. nominI ated T. V. Powderly for re-election as General I Master Workman; Victor Drury, ot District j Assembly 49, nominated Marcin Hanley, of New ’orsey, and an ex-delegate named Birch, of Ohio. 'Ue vote resulted as follows: Powderly, 114; Hanley, 27; Birch, 1. For General Worthy Foreman Morris L. Wheat of lowa, and Henry A. Beckmeyer, of New Jersey, w ere nominated. The vote stood: Wheat, 83; Beckmeyer, .6. As candidates for General Secret ary-Treasurer three names were presented. George Duncan, of Richmond, Va., named Frederick Turner of Phladelphia, the present Treasurer; Powderly nominated John W. Hays ot New Jersey, present Secretary, and W. G. F. Price of New York presented the name of Mrs. A. P. Stevens of Toledo, Ohio. The vote stood : Hays, 83; Turner, 56; Mrs. Stevens, 3. Powderly having practically requested the election of Hayes the result is considered a Powderly victory. Mrs. T. M. Barry was re-elected by acclamation as Director and Investigator of Woman's Work. Mr. Powderly was chosen to represent the order at the Paris exposition. After his re-election Mr. Powderly stated that although his salary had been left at #5,090 he would accept only #3,000, and nt the end of his term the order could do what it pleased with the balance. As candidates for members of the General Executive Board Mr. Powderly presented the names of A. W. Wright of Toronto, Ontario, J. J. Holland of Jacksonville, Fla., John Costello of Pittsburg, John Devlin of Detroit. J. A. Wright of Philadelphia, T. B. McGuire of New York. H. C. Trapphagan of Cincinnati, and J. Crowley of Charlestown. Mass. On the first ballot. A. W. Wright, J. J. Holland, and John Costello were elected. Two more ballots were necessary to elect the fourth member of the board. John Devlin was chosen. Retiring General Worthy Foreman Richard Griffiths of Chicago and Delegate Delwarte of Belgium were presented with goid badges. FRESH AND NEWSY. A gang of little white slave boys have been shipped from St. John's Asylum in Brooklyn, New York, to glass factories in Ohio. Their ages ranged from 11 to 14, and there were thiee or four “big boys,” said to be a year or two older I than the average of their companions, in bonded servitude. All of them went out under a,year's contract. This is the second shipment of its kind within the last two months from this charitable institution. Whether the experiment will stop right there appears to he a matter that the State Inspector of Factories in Ohio has set his mind on ascertaining. He. has instituted inquiries into the system, and something may be done to break it up. 1!. G. Dex A Co.’s review of trade for last week says: Business made fair progress during the week and the prospect for further improvement is considered good. The stock market deci ned an average of »1 per share. The exports of breadstuffs from Atlantic ports was only 130,372 bushels wheat in three weeks, against 1.989,328 bushels lust year, and 408,487 barrels of flour, against 675,698 last year, with an increase of 850,00 J bushels coin. Exceptin’ from Portugal the current price still excluues American wheat. Corn and oats scarcely’ changed ; pork and hogs were a shade lower, with lard stronger. Coffee advanced cent, witlt tales of 463.000 bags. Business was satisfactory or improving at all northwestern points reporting and money was in good supnly unless t loveland, where some stringency appeared, be reckoned an exception. Collections at all points were fairly satisfactory. In silk manufacture it is reported that the year’s production equals 845,000,000 in value, about half the entire consumption. The treasury paid out on y S2vO,OUO more than it took in during the week, and the interior demand for money has slackened. The exports for three weeks fall 4 per cent, below last year’s at New York, with imports 3 per cent, below, which points to a considerable excess of exports over imports for ihe month. Ihe business failures of the week were 295. The fishing schooner Edward Norton. • of Boston, went ashore on First Cliff Point, near Scituate, Mass., and was almost immediately broken to pieces. Os I her crew of sixteen, fifteen perished, the survivor reaching shore after a night of terrible suffering. Reports from Rochester and Albany, N. Y., and St. John, N. 8., say that vessels have been frozen in and navigation is closed up. MARKET REPORTS. CHICAGO.

। 1 Geo. Augustus Sala. ' j George Augustus Sala, the well-known i lEnglish writer, on his Idst Australian l 'trip wrote as follows to the London Daily , Telegraph: "I especially have a pleasant remembrance of the ship’s doctor—a very exi perienced maritime medico, indeed, who tended me most kindly during a horrible 1 spell of bronchitis and spasmodic asthma, i provoked by the sea fog which had , swooped down on us just after we left , Sau Francisco. But the doctor’s prescrip- , tions and the increasing warmth of the temperature as we neared the Tropics, I and in particular a couple of Allcock’s Porous Plasters clapped on—one on the chest and another between the shoulder blades—soon set me right.” Sun-Energy in Growth. The Director of the Royal Deafj Mute Asylum at Copenhagen has shown that children’s growth varies greatly in different parts of the year, the rate of ! increase in the weight of boys being three times as great from the first of AugUst to the middle of December as from the middle of December to the end of April, and most of the gain of this second period being lost between the end of April and the eud of July. i These fluctuations do not correspond , to local changes of temperature or to j changes of season, but instead appear to coincide with fluctuations in the average temperature of the whole globe. The evidence thus far collected is taken as an indication, therefore, that some unknown “energy of growth” comes to us from the sun with the heat rays, separates from them, and, unaffected by wind or weather, causes uniform fluctuations in the growth of all or- | ganic life.— Arkansaiv Traveler. Comfort Under the Waistband. The call of the stomach must be answered even at the cost of subsequent discomfort. How ■ to make digestion a regular sequence of the satisfaction of appetite so long baffled medical inI vestigation that it was almost given up in de- ; spair, and dyspepsia viewed as well nigh incurI able. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters came to the ] rescue of the dyspeptic, and upset the theory of incurability. If it be used with persistence, and , common sense in diet lie not constantly vio- । lated, the Bitters will most certainly restore j vigor and tranquillity to the stomach and conI stant regularity in its digestive functions.

LIMBORI, La s n T d . fe’msr' WHY YOU SHOULD USE SCOTT’S EMULSION of COD LIVER OIL™ HYPOPHOSPHITES. It is Palatable as Milk. It is three times as efficacious as plain Cod Liver Oil. It is far superior to all other socalled Emulsions. It is a perfect Emulsion, does not separate or change. It is wonderful as a flesh producer. It is the best remedy for Consumption, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Wasting Diseases, Chronic Cough and Colds. Sold by all fflwgg Magnetism and Menthol as a Remedial and Curative Agent. From time to time m»ny Invention, end device* have been placed upon the market claiming to cure catarrh, neur.lgia. brouchitii, etc., many of which are said to contain electric or magnetic curative powers. Some consist of small bottles or phials I containing oil of mustard, oil of horseradish, and other drugs, and when inhaled they produce a peculiar sensation which is often believed to be ! electrical or magnetic. It is an acknowledged fact that all catarrhal diseases •re the result of parasitic attack upon the membrane I and tissue. What is required, therefore, is something which I will kill the parasites and at the same time heal the | breaches made by them, and by restoring the tissue to a naturally healthy state av id any further attuc s. Dr. Palmer is a gentleman who has devoted a lite t of study to the subject of catarrh and diseases of the head, throat, and lungs, and some time since be commenced a series of experiments with a view to determining whether any combination could be formed j which would kill the parasite and act as a healing Sower at the same time, and at length succeeded iu etermining that menthol, when combined with magnetism, would do so, but how to arrange these seemingly opposite agents so as to render their use convenient and effectual was a question of some difficulty. At length he succeeded in confining within a vulcanite tube three inches long and about three-quarters of an inch in diameter a perfect magnetic battery in tho form of a coil of steel wire In the interior of this battery i. stored a fine grade of imported menthol. The ends of the tube are closed by nickel caps, which, when removed, admit of tho free inhalation of the electro-mentholized air. The menthol acts as a gerinacide, while the magnetoolectric force stimulating the weakened nerves of the diseased parts into healthy action forms a wonderful healing power, thereby successfully stopping any further depredations. The fumes when inhaled are refreshing and cooling, and for the immediate relief and speedy cure of catarrh, cold in the head, hav fever, headache, neuralgia, catairhal deafness, etc., it is unequalled. ft cures headache in five minutes. Sore throat is one of the diseases immediately affected by the inhaler. Commencing colds can be broken up in 21 hours by a few inspirations from this little benefactor. To clear the throat and head, and produce sound and refreshing sleep at night, it has no equal The inspiration is pleasant and effect wonderful. Nothing like it has ever been placed on ths market before. Its price is moderate. Its working is marvelous. and no family can afford to be without on* of these inventions. Beware ot Imitation, as there are unscrupulous persona engaged in the manufacture of a spurious inhaler that stronglr resembles the genuine.
