Arrest.

This morning Supt. Lawlor arrested Joseph W. McDonald, a young man the employe of the street railway company, on a charge of seduction. He is wanted at Shelby ville, Ind.

A telegram was reoeived from Shelbyville today saying an officer would be here for McDonald tonight. It seems it is a paternity charge that is against the Driboner.

spe-

•eial.]—The Paris Light Infantry, Comroany H, 8th Regular Illinois Militia, returned from East St. Louis/ this afternoon, where they have been on duty for the past ten days. They were met at the depot by the Cadet Band and about "2.000 citizens turned out. They were then escorted to Armory Hall where a grand banquet was prepared for tbem by O. H. Starr, on order of the citizens. They reoeived a right royal welcome. Company *H was second to report for duty. They went on duty immediately, upon their arrival in East St. Louis on the night of the fire. They were highly praised for the faithful performance of their duties and their soldierly bearing, also for their patient endurance of privations and hardships.

A GHASTLY FIND.

The Body et a Murdered Man in a River NAVOSOTA, Texas, April 20.—Another mysterious victim of Judge Lynch was found above this city yesterday, near the village of Washington, on Brazos river. A farmer named Wilson found the body of a light colored mulatto floating near the shore. He tied the corpse to a tree and notified the nearest justice of the peace, who held an inquest on the body, The examination revealed a dark blue mark around the seak, which was broken. The ankles of the mulatto also bore marks of the rope, indicating that weights had been tied to his feet His skull was broken, as tbovgh from the blow of a revolver hac die,' possibly to stifle his cries. Who the dead man is or what terrible crime he oommitted which brought such fatal vengeance is a profound mystery here. The theory is that he was swung from some bridge across the Brazos, many miles above, and the rope afterward cut, in expectation that the weights on his would carry the body to the bottom.

A BLUISH FOG.

I 4

It is Thought to Preeage Cholera at Cleveland.

CiiHVBXAjra, Ohio, April 19.—Many residents of this city are much alarmed over the appearance, for several months past, of a thick bluish fog, which appears to issue from the earth. Its presence is regarded by persons conversant with its previous appearance here as omnious of an approaching epidemic of cholera. It is a singular fact cited by those who went through the cholera plagues of 1866 and earlier years, that this

same

bluish fog has always preced

ed an outbreak of the dreaded soonrge, and

that

it has not been seen in this

city until

thiB

week sinoe the last chol-

era epidemia Scientists here whose attentian have been called to the fact, believe that conditions favorable to the creation of this fog are favorable to the spread of cholera contagion.

THAT BOYCOTT.

The Police Break Up the Gang New York Boycotters.

Strong Words From the New York Times About the Outrage.

Editorial in New York Times: Boycotting does not appear to be growing in favor, in this free country. We pointed out some months ago that the boyoott is reversible, and some curious instances of its effectiveness when used in retaliation by its intended victims have been commented on in these columns. Of late the American publio has silently adopted a sort of nullification act by which the proceedings of the foreign boycotters are rendered void and of no effect. A newspaper in New Haven and another in Wilmington which were placed under a boycott suddenly found themselves under the protection of the leading business men of the two cities, who took measures to insure their proprietors against loss, and in this city the boycott upon Mrs. Gray's Hudson street bakery has put that spirited lady upon the high road to fortune.

The boyoottei set out to compel Mrs. Gray to do two things: (1) To force her workmen to join the union and (2) to pay a "fine" of $25 for disobedience to the orders of the union. The result of their operations for the first week has been to make Mrs. Gray's bakery known and famous from Eastport to San Francisco to increase her sales far beyond their former volume to enroll among her daily customers a large number of wealthy men und women who never bought bread of her before to secure for her a large number of standing or ders, accompanied by cash, to send daily supplies of bread to various charitable institutions, and to enlist for her the active sympathy of several hundred thousand Amencan men and American women who read with increasing interest and satisfaction the newspaper reports of her successful resistance to the boycott.

This is a somewhat striking expression of public opinion upon the boycott. It is an American opinion—genuine Yankee Doodle in every line and letter. The boyoott is a foreign institution. It is of alien origin, and is set up here by persons who have not the faintest conception of what American citizenship is. It is used most frequently in contests where those who employ it have no ground for aqy action whatever, and in the case of Mrs. Gray the reproach of contemptible and cowardly methods is to be pdded to the odium inseparable from the practice.

We have n^ doubt that the Evening Post is right in insisting that the persons who are annoying Mr. Gray are violating the laws of the state and are liable under the Penal Code. Public feeling is very strong against the ontrage, and the protection against loss which the law should afford Mrs. Gray is assured her through countless private channels.

FROM THE NEW YORK SUK. The boycotters disappeared last night from about Mrs. Gray's bakery in Hudson street. Eight or ten arrived early in the evening to distribute circulars, but the police forbade it. Inside the clerks tftere kept busy tying up bundles for customers and filling the large number of orders that kept coming in. Mrs. Russell Sage drove up in her carriage in the afternoon and left an order for cake. A letter dated at the American Hotel, Mauch Chunk, and signed "J. B.," told Mrs. Gray to continue to be strong, and that she might call on the writer for $1,000 if necessary. A letter from J. R. Raymond, of St. Louis, congratulates Mrs. Gray on her fight, and says he will call on her in less than a week. A lawyer offers to conduct her fight for her free. W. R. Shearn, of Mount Vernon, sent for five pounds of gingerbread by express. Mrs. R. Wilson, of No. 135 West Forty-fifth street, ordered one hundred loaves of bread for the poor. Police Captain Copeland had the four men who were arrested up before Judge Duffy. The Little Judge said he wanted higher wages himself, and would like to see all men have high wages, but that boycotting was wrong. Valentine Rapp was fined $3 and his companions— Charles Moon, George Schnouel and Joseph Baum—$1 each.

"A little fire is quickly trodden out Which, being suffered, rivers cannot quench." Procrastination may rob you of time, but by increased diligenoe you dan make up the loss but if it rob you of life the loss is irremediable. If your health is delicate, your appetite fickle, your sleep'broken.your mind depressed, your appetite fickle, your whole being out of sorts, depend on it you are seriously diseased. In all suoh cases Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" will speedily effect a genuine, radical oure-^^make anew man of you and save you from the tortures of lingering disease.

Theodore Curtis, of Otter Creek, who reoeived severe injuries some time ago, is improving and it is now thought that the danger from blood poisoning is it. Mrs. Curtis has recently recovered from a severe illness and the eldest daughter is in delacate health.

The Engagement of President Cleveland and Miss Folsom.

The President's Reticence Regarding His Approaching Marriage

His Fiancee—The Folsom FamilyWeddings at the White House.

WASHINGTON,

D. C., April

VISIT EASTERN WATERING PLACES. It is hardly probable that he will go to the Adirondacks. The beet portrait of Miss Folsom, now in Washington, is a large one which hangs in the President's bed-room. Miss Folsom was averse to giving a sitting to a photographer when she was here, and has a great horror of publicity. When she was in Washington last, a number of paragraphs were printed about her school life, which she traced to one or two of her school friends. She quar^ reled with them for jit. It is said that1 she went away to Europe, so as to be out of the range of possible gossip and criticism during the engagement period. It is said that Miss Folsom's engagement would become known, as the fact was known to the Cleveland family in New York soon after her departure from Washington from her last visijt to the White House.

The Folsoms.

NEW YORK,

som comes family.

April 21.—A good deal of

gossip has been written about the family of Miss Folsom, to whom, it is alleged, the President will soon be married, the most of which has no foundation in fact. The story that Miss Fol som's mother was left almost destitute has no foundation in fact. Oscar Folsom didn't leave a Vanderbilt estate, but the family are known to be beyond the necessity of asking aid for traveling expenses Italy. One report stated that Prest. Cleveland defrayed their expen ses abroad. This is denied by people wha know the facts. The home at Folsomdale belongs to Mrs. Folsom, and there are other properties which afford a regular income to the family. Oscar Fol-

-THE TERRE HAtJitf WEEKLY GA2ETW

21.—Presi

dent Cleveland's approaching marriage is now regarded as a certainty. All his friends agree that he would have been very prompt to deny the story of his marriage coming in as positive a form as ifr has in the last week or ten days, had he not fully made up his mind on the subject. He has kept the secret very well from even his most intimate associates. It is understood that the engagement took place during Miss Folsom's last visit to Washington. If Mt. Cleveland is married at the White House in June, it will be the second marriage of a President during his term of office. Mr. Tyler was mprried while, he was President, but his marriage took place in New York. There hac been a number of marriages in the White Hous6 of members of the President's family. The last was that of Nellie Grant and Mr. Sartoris. It is understood that the ooming wedding will be a very quiet one, if it takes place in June, as members of Mr. Cleveland's family in New York seem to think it will. The President is very averse to personal parades. It is expected that his clergyman brotbir will be brought here to perform the marriage ceremony, and that it will be private. If the President should invite any of his official associates, he'would have to invite them all, and this would give his wedding the official character of a parade reception of winter. It cannot be said that Washington society is very much moved over the President's marriage. He has very little sympathy with the social people here, and as he does not go out much, they have become, in a measure, indifferent to what be does. They are glad, however, that he is going to marry, because it is always pleasanter to have the wife of the President to preside at the White House. Miss Folsom hasn't spent much time here and is unknown to the majority of people who move in society. It is piobable that the President will go away for some time after his marriage. .He has had a number of invitations to
