Smi'h who ha-* for several years been marshal of the city. It appears that bad f"'lint has existed between the men, growirg out of an election some time ago, and Smith is said to have, ou several occasions, sought a difficulty with Yost. To-niuht they met in Judge Sotterfiekl's law office, a ^quarrel ensued, and Smith drev a revolver and fired three balls iuto Yost's body. The wounded man ra" downstairs to the street' followed by Smith, where ho fell to the ground, dead. Smith then drew another revolver, and, with one in each hand, passed defiantly though the street to the stable where his horse was kept, mounted the animal and fled to the woods. Great excitemcnt was created, and a large posse of well armed men are now scouring the country for the murderer. Yost leaves a wife and two children. Smith also has a wife and several children.

OUTLINE OF TIIK PROGRAMME AGREED ON 11Y GLADSTONE AND I'AKNELL. BOSTON,

May

21.—A

cable special to

the Herald fro'm Loudon says: I am enabled to give vou the exclusive information that the f'arnell-Gladstone programme regarding the pas-age of the new Irih measures are now complete. Tie Land League members have been informed that the progress of the repression crime bill will determine the action of the government regarding the arrears act If ihey obstruct the lirst, the goverumeit wil delay the second. Mr. Gladstone's anxiety to get the crimc bill through in some form is explained by his vast loss of ministerial popularity with the masses since the Dublin murders, and the hope of rtcovery by this method hence the great concession to Parnell's followers to induce them to avoid obstruction that would urely destroy Gladstone's government.

When the ciimes bill comes tip on Tuesday inC minions, importan' amendments will be offered and accepted. One, relating to the proposed embargo on Irish newspapers, will provide, when adopted, that suppression shall only refer to American journals of the Rossa descrip tiou. This will remove heavy restrictions from the local Irish press. Another amendment wi 1 reduce the term of the o( oration of the law from three years to two. Another will make less arbitrary the power of arresting persons merely suspected of belonging to secret societies. A fourth modi fits the powers* of local magistrates, and provides opporlunity of appeal to a higher court of persons held by their authority. The, Land League members are led to understand that the Liberals will acceptthese amendments on condition that their opposition shall not be of the protracted order which usually characterizes an Irish ilehnte. The Irish members will likewi.-e introduce other amendments as a matter of course, but they will be rejected. Their work will have the appearance of the usual force, but will be superficial The Land Leaguers will take advantage of Gladstone's wcakuess in Parliament to foice the pa-sage of the arr«ars bill, and at the same time demand certain reductions in the corecive measures. Tncir •pinion is that a dissolution will speedily follow the adoption ot the new coercion act. and they hope if the ujovtrnment splits mi the result of this measure, to secure i's repeal.

Members of the Liberal party tell your coirespondent that the prcatest dissatisfac tion as to the new policy exists among Radicals and Tories. It wa said, last night, that Gladstone must speed: iy choose beUveeu those wings of the p-irtv they dedine longer to be kept harne-s*c" toi-ethor. Nobody has faidi in Gladstone's power now.

few days ago an

editorial appeared in the evening Chronicle of this city rather severely criticising Judge Laughlin, of the Criminal Court, and the manner ot doing business in that court. To-day Mr. Stanley Waterloo, editor of the Chronicle, was cited to appear before the court to show cause why he should not 1* committed for contempt. Mr. Waterloo's counsel denied that the court had jurisdiction iu the premises, whereupon Judge Laughlin said there being a difference of opinion on that point he would wnive the rights of the court in the matter and as an individual would give Mr. Watertoo until sundown either to retract the obnoxious article through the columns of the Chronicle or fii'uish him with the name of the writer thereof, he taking the ground that it was not written by Waterloo, but by some trained lawye r, and that he (the judge) had beeu tabbed from ambush. Thiscrea.td something of a sensation aud caused some comment as the judge's manner and words seemed to indicate that lie n'eant mischief. The Chronicle last evening contained no retraction nor did Mr. Waterloo furnish Judge Laughlin with the name of the writer of the article, but while chatting with tome friends at the rooms of the Press Club between nine aud ten o'clock at night a letter was delivered to ghim by the- stenographer of the coui which read as follows:

HENRY D. LAUOIII.IN.

The ce ntents of this were not known until after one o'clock this morning, when was concluded by Mr. Waterloo and his friends to publish it and the probabilities are that unless the lriends of both part'n scan prevent a meeting there will be a bloody enceuuter on the street to i::e)rrew as both men have plenty of nerve. Under Judge Laughlin's own ruling iu a recent case Mr. Waterloo would be perfectly justifiable in not only shooting him elown on sight but in hunting liim up and killing him. It is not likely, however, that Mr. Waterloo will pursue this course or take any action unless he is first, attacked.

Later last night it was discovered tint the aulh ir of the offensive criticism was ex-Judge IIor«tio M. Jones. This iiinrnin*- from the bench of the Criminal Court Judge Liughlin said the situation had materially changed. He knew the name of the writer of the articlc, anil sooner or later lie would settle toe matter with Mr. Waterloo. When he left the bench last evening he had intended to t-^ off his badge of servitude and resign. Now. like Grant, he would not retieat under fire. A& to the man who was the author of the article, he was beneath contempt, lie knew him from experience. He was a chronic slanderer and cowaid. Judae Hayden, on behalf of Mr. Waterloo, icivccepted the full responsibility lor the article and refused to apologize. He considered the action of the court entirely illegal ami would take no further notice of the tribunal. The matter then dropped. It is be-lie'ved that the matter will remain as it now stands until the seusation is over.

SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.

A Tair of Star-Crosseed Lovers Attempt to Take Their Lives,

Preferring to Die Together Rather Than Live apart, but Only one Succeeds-

INDIANAPOLIS, May 23.—The most sensational suicide of the season occurred here yesterday. For some time past Henry Higlenoerg, a young German ot venteen, has been devotedly- attached te Ella Winuing, young lady two years his senior, but the attachment was strenuously opposed by the young man's parents, wh« are well-to-do, the young lady's family being in reduced circuuislaiices. The opposition of the young man's parents was so strong that about Christmas it culminated in a quarrel between him and his mother, when he left home and fetund werk as an upholsterer. He was very steady and saved money, and still maintained his devotion to his sweetheart, but the unyielding opposition of his parents seemed te» prey upon his mind and he became despondent. Last Wednesday evening .'he told Miss Winning he was going fc kill himself aud tejok out a pistol to |xecute his purpose, but she wrested it?frrm him and prevented him. On Subday he t»ok her to a picnic, and on the way back told her again of his determination, and it was drcided they should die together. He had provided himself with some ljudanum. Tiiey drove to a point six miles below Greenwood, acress the Johnson county line, alighted, turned their horse's head toward'the city, gave him a cut with the whip, tohich sent him galloping down the road, Knil dividing the poisexi inte) equal parts swallowed it, and quietly lay down iu a feuco coruer te) die The quantity taken was not sufficient to cause death, henvever, but simply indue, an unccnscieius conditioo, in which the-y lay until daylight, when they regained cein.-e iousness. Vexed at the failure of the effort, and determined vet to accomplish their purpose, they walked to Gre enwood, where they purchased a decoction of laudanum and morphine. They then proceeded to search for a convenient place die, and selecting a fence-corner hidden from the road by the woodpile, they swallowed their potiern kissed each other goeitl-bye, and lay down to die. Having eaten no'hingsince noon the day before, Miss Winning was unable to retain the lull dose on her stomach, throwing up rart of it Both went into a deep sleep almost immediately, from which she partially arouseil how sion she dens not know. Hilgenberg was groaning loudly, and wa apparently in grtat pain, and was himself awake. She took bU head in her arms and responded to fiis re quest to ki-s him a final farewell, aftei which he gapped once, twice, and was dead.

Miss Winning mnained by the Inxly fifteen minutesor more, when s'ie started on foot to the city, reaching home cempletely worn out about six o'clock in the evening, having walked the entire distance. On the way she passed sevejal persons, but did not mention the affair to anyone until she readied home, when she told the story as narrated above.

Undertaker Herman wa3 sent to the cne of the suicide, but the body had been discovered and placed in the keeping ot the corone of Johns county, who refused to surrender it.

About 10 o'clock last, night William Pfenning, stepfather of Ililyenberg, learned of the suicide, and immediately insisted on the arrest of the girl on a suspicion that she had poisoned her lover. The at rest was not made, asth?jre is absolutely no grounds for suspecting that the case was otherwise than that reported by the girl.

CROP PORSPECTS.

Reports of a Bountifal Yield From Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas.

ST. LOUIS, May 22.—From over two hundret reports received by one of the leading ana most reputable grain commission houses in this city from all section of this state respecting the crops, the following condensation is made. With three «r te»ur exciptions the reports indicate thot never before wtre the wheat prospects so promising at this season of the year. The late cool weather has checked the rank growth and at ti same time put a stop to the progress of chinch bugs, ef which there arc quite a number but they have thus lar done no injury. Army worms have appeared in southeastern counties but have done no damage yet. At one point Hessian flies have shown themselvei but in too small numbers to cause damage. Nor has the rust done any injury. Tue wheat is now heading out and the generally expressed opiuion is that tt is teo fir advanced to suffer by insects of any kind, even if yeung chinch bugs should appear, which seems very improbable after the recent cool wet weather. The acreage of wheat sown is much larger than was harvested lastscas n. Harvesting will begin early in June if the weather is favorable. Corn is abemt all planted and the southern and central counties show very geod for ttie time of year. In some sections it has received t\ve plowings. The cool weather has kept it backward somewhat but on the wh le it looks very well. The acreage is larger than 1881.

There is no fear of damage by chinch bugs anticipated unless the wea her during Juue should be very he)t and dry. t'he o:its acreage is large, the rop looks exceedingly well Bum 1 truit and apples promise very well. Peaches aud apples are less plentiful. The meadows aud stock re deiing well. Farmers are well up in their work and in fine-spirits

the Political Situaton in Maine—Indications that the Ex-Secretary Will Not Be a Candidate for Congress.

Boston Special.

Bo -TON, May 21.—A Portland special to the Herald says: "The plan which has been spoken of recently to send the ex-Secretary of Stale 10 his old stamping ground, the national House of Representative-s, see ms to have failed. Mr. Blaioc had ruled his party with an ir. hand. When he Irael 20,000 or 25,000 majority at every contested election, dissent did neit mailer nnich but times have changed. The Democrats ave had two of the three last Governors, and the State is so cleise thatS.oOO umjeirity is something no shrewd politician of either party would claim honestly for ibis tail. Mr. Blaine, it is saiel, not only sees the danger of being beaten it he heads the ticket, but is convinced that he would make more enemies than friends by allowing hisname to be used in the convention. A prominent Independent Republican says: "All work which fhc postal agents, who are about as efficient a set of workers, considering their numbers, as we* ave among us, havedeme, will amount toneiihing, except in the way of showing Mr. Blame the drift of dublic sentiment. Here yem see (I hope) the wisdom ef his scheme. He denied all along that he wr.s a candidate he told Steve Liudsey and everybody else that he was not, and if he did not know, who did? But he kt Mauley and Bigelow, and the rest of them test public sentiment. They have giveu himreturns enough to satisfy him, and I'd warrant you he won't run lor Congress in Maine this year."

Generals Chamberlain aud Brown, and Editor Richardson, ol the Advertiser, are opposed to Blaine, and so is the Morri'l influence. Lot M. Morrill is si ill collector of Portland, and Judg. Goddard, who is posimast- here, and an ugly tighter, teo, when he does fight, is on the same side. All over the State west of the Kennebec you will find this element. When such men as Marble, and Libby, and Horace Hamliu giow ce)ld, it is a sign that Mr. Blaine's popularity at home is shaken, and seriously shaken. These are all hi his old congressional district— an ex-postmaster, an ex United States marshal), and an ex-sheriff.

Congressmen Uetd, Diogley and Lindscy will be reD'min'eted, and Boutelle arid Mill have "claims" which cannot easily be srt aside It will thus be seen that Mr. Blaine cannot, because he would practii ally antagonize every ambitious man in easle.ni Maine, as well as all of his old political adversaries in the party and ur et the party.

CHAPTRR XX.

AVTKll TWliLVB YKARS.

Having take^n leave of Valentine, the tnarquift returned to Tonlon and the crowded veoeptiein-ronms. Misgivings as to Valentinei'a personal safety a?faileel him, but he met them with the one peiwerful argument, that all the count's best interests were centered in Valentine, and the count would consult thein first. Ilis pa=sion hail betrayed him into one act of violence, but that would probably make him all the more careful in future to practice self-cemjrol. The marquis found the duke very much worried alxiut Adriennej.

Between the excitement consequent upon the presentation and the effect of her interview with Valentine, the girl's strength had given way and the eluchflsshael taken her home.

This was depressing news the marquis was more convinced than ever of the strong neeel there existed for the presence of the chanoincsse. Raonl liad^accompanieel the two ladies, anil there being no one to consult with, the marquis adopted a resolution aud hastened to put it into practice. A few hour afterward he left Toulon for Ilyeres.

Meanwhile, Advienne became utterly prostrated, and before morning was in a high fever, and, at times, delirious.

The day that had commenced so brilliantly, hael brought trouble anel alarm towarel its close. Valentine was ill and etenied to all visitors, and Adrienne was threateneel with the miseries of brainfever.

The whole household was affected by the condition of its young mistress. The duke pnatcned every moment from his state affairs to devote to the suffering girl, the duchess hung over her ni^'ht and daj', carrying out all the physician's instructions, anel realizing, as she saw her elanger, how dear the lovely, helpless sufferer was to her motherly heart.

O'ltourke watcheel anel waited in the large ante -room beyoml, ready to perform arir service without a meiment's delay.

Raoul came and went, anxious, miserable, besieging every ene in turn for an opinion, anel opposing every unfavorable suggestion with almost angry vehemence.

What would the end bef How long would tUe dedicate form sustain such mental anel physical exhaustion? In dreams, Aelrienne lived over tfiTc sorrows of the past weeks, the snppresseei hopes and fears found vent in passionate words, in heart-breaking appeals for help, or for justice. At times she was with her father, calling him by endearing names, soothing him with her own hopes, and blaming herself for his wrongs. Again, she was with Valentine, pray'ng for support and comfort, and often it was the Count de Mornasse to whom she appealeel for mercy for a vindication of her father's worels. From these'fattacks of delirium she would awaken, conscious of all that was taking place around her, but physically weak and indifferent to her own condition. Every day came a messenger for Valentine to inquire for Adrienne, and report that her mistress was letter.

As Valentine had conjectured, thff' count did not trust himself to another interview with her. He contented himself with inquiring for her frequently, and sending kind messages. Kei hael Ix-en invited by the Duke de Choiseul to bring his daughter to Versailles', and be was rapidly completing his arrangements to leave Provence.

Onca at the brilliant dotfrt, where he could surround Valentine with new faces anel iievel ami .ements, he felt that her interest in Adrienne would gradually cease. +, r,

His radons kepi him "away from Gran.re. his other estates requiring bis p»Monal Mip'-rvi^ion. Thus relieved of hi* presence, Valentine rapidly re*gained her use.aJ appearance anel old strength of will.

One sultry morning the duchess wasr sitting, sad-hearted and worn out with watching, in the large room adjoining Adrienne's. This was a long apartment, beantifully fitted up in the luxurious hty i.eu in vogue. Low windows opened on the park the high ceiling was supported by strong pillars of polished marble. At one end folding-doors opened into the main ball of the chateau, while the doors on the. side opposite the windows r»tv»n«»d into Adrienne's suite of room*.
