Second—Did you not refuse to confirm the election of certain women elected constitution- ally by the districts to represent them at New York? Third—Did you not by protests for four years by unchristian charges (now proven false) and by newspaper reports seek to bring about secession in W. C. T. U. ranks and to lead such se cession movement and did you not pay bills accruing in this work? Fourth—Have you not been in re- ceipt of pay from the republican party for these and other services? Tf Mrs. Foster's answers do not con- firm the above, Mrs. Hobart says proofs in the shape of records, etc., will be forthcoming. Bloody Butchery. St. More, Hayti, Jan. 38.—Gen. Hippolyte has gained a great victo- ry. Itis the most important battle which has been fought in the civil war in Hayti. “Battle,” by the way isarather misleading word in the present instance, for when S00 men are caught like rats ina trap, with their retreat intercepted, and they are then surrounded and shot down at leisure with barbaroug cruelty, no quarter being shown, no prisoners taken and every living soul put to death, “butchery” seems to be the proper characterization of the hor- ror. That was the scene witnessed here yesterday, at the little seaport town of Grandseleine, about 25 miles Legitime’s army was completely au- nibilated. Campaign, Ill., Feb., Feb. 6.—The Salvation Army, which has been holding meetings in this city for some months past, received notice “y sterday signed by “White Caps.” inf rming them to leave town at once or they would be visited by a y band of regulators and whipped ‘and tarred and feathered. ble anxiety is manifeste? by the ties concerned.

This morning when arrangements were being made for the funeral a friend who had been called in beeame possessed of the idea that he was rot dead. A doctor was summoned and by the application of a battery the suppos- ed corpse was resuscitated, but at last accounts his condition was re garded as critical. Mr. Crane is 86 years old.
