ALL OUTSIDE FIRMS TO BE DRIVEN OUT OF BUSI- NESS. It is announced in Chicago that the whisky trust has decided on a campaign of extermina- tion against the distillers who have refused to come into the combination. This is to be in- augurated on January 1 by a decided reduction in the price of whisky. “We are going to make ined effort to shut up these fellows j benefits of 30 said Thos. Rice, etary of the Empire distilling company. We can make whisky a great deal cheaper than those outside of the trust; that has been demonstrated, and we are going to put down the price to the lowest notch possible. I think that will make our enemies squirm.” Regard- ing a dispatch from Cincinnati saying there was ger of the trust collapsing, owing to the partial withdrawal of a large firm in Cin- cinnati from the combine, Mr. Rice said thi there was no truth in it, and that the trust was on as solid a foundation as ever, —— oe Agin Annexation.

On arday night a passenger train on the Illinois Central road was robbed near Duck Hill, Miss. At 10:15, when the train pulled out of Duck Hill, two men boarded the engine and commanded the engineer, A. J. Laws, to pull out fast and not to stop until told. The engineer and fireman, Geo. Evans, both being covered with navy .” obeyed the com— mand, and when one mile north of Duck Hill the train was stopped and the engineer and man were ordered to dismount. This they promptly did. They were then marched to the express car. One of the robbers knocked ou the door, which was opened by the messen- ger. After firing three shots the man entered and took ¢3,000—all there was in the car—from Messenger Hill. The firing of the pistol and the stopping of the train attracted the at tion of Conductor P. B. Wilkinson, who rushed out and was immediately fired upon. He re- turned to the train. Mr. Chess Hughes, of Jackson, Tenn., then ran out with a Winchester rifle and was fired upon. One shot struck him in the left arm. Another went through his stomach, inflicting a fatal wound. —— eee ‘The Oyster War. CAPTAIN BRIDGES WILL SOON BE READY. An Easton special to the Baltimore American, December 16, says: Commander Plowman vis- ited Capt. Bridges, of the Choptank guard-boat Efiza Hayward, and ordered stout oak bul- warks to be built on deck to protect the men in fighting. The work will be done at once, and Capt. Bridges is under orders to attack the bay dredgers in the Choptank as soon as his boat is in readiness. which will probably be about Thursday. He has supplied the places of the mate and crew, who resigned, with excellent men, who seem to be anxioug for the fray. When the fight comes off next'time the H: ward will be either victorious or destroyed. Capt. Bridges has arrested several river scrapers in the last few days. 100 Atnietic Recosps Broxex.—In the Man- hattan Athletic club games at Madison square garden, New York, Saturday night, L. E.

IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE IN THE SUBURBS OF ‘THE CITY. “Gath” in Cincinnati Enquirer. Wasatnetox, D. C., Dec. 7.—The election has thrown a bright color over this town, The real estate movement had been a little checked, though it had been one of the steadiest booms in the land ever since Grant and Shepherd i proved this city and the government added its willing hand. Washington is now one of our great cities, beautiful to look upon, healthy to reside in, with a mild winter climate and a de- licious spring. Itis probably the cheap win- ter resort to-day of the United States, with un- equaled society for vivacity, cordiality, and versatility. The suburban railways are picking up all parts of the adjacent districts, so that villa life is a part of thé town life, and day and night those-who live several miles from the center of affairs can ride in and out. Alo; the line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail ii rovements ight miles towns are going up. You may remember the old valley of ‘Tiber creek, through which this Metropolitan Branch rail- road makes its way. This seemed to be the slowest district for development until within the year or two, when persons from the north have begun to pick up the Proper lay out streets fom | establish towns, In the vicinity of Chief Justice Chase’s villa are two of these new towns, and an electric street railroad con- nects them with the center of Washington, and also joins the new Catholic university, which is well up to the Soldiers’ Home. Hence Wash- ington is not growing merely in one direction, as formerly, but in many directions, and now steam railroads are probable to come in here within the next two or three years. One such railroad will probably start from Georgetown and go into Virginia in the dirdvtion of Lees- burg. Another will take the canal route up the Potomac and join the West Virginia Ce: tral railway and the Western with Washington direct, A 8 robably lue north of ton, passing Between Frederick and Baltimore, and paralle the Northern Central railway toward Gettys- burg. When Cleveland came into office there was a feeling that things would go backward, but he. after he married, bought property be- yond Georgetown, and as soon as he had an interest here his appreciation, of course, ex- tended. ink iy Some think that proj m the market by pet Boel of certain of the office-holders, but, opportunely, there will be as many persons coming in as there are going out, which is not sure to be the case in any other kind of city than this. The Potomac river improvement is well forwarded, and probably insures summer health for this city yond What has ever been known here. The quality of men coming in here under the new regime is instanced by the Vice-President hav- ing two years ago commenced the building of a large apartment house. The most active in- vestor of the Cleveland coterie has been Sec- retary Whitney, who has done a great deal to extend the property movement tothe high country beyond Georgetown. Within afew years a continuous town will be found from the Potomac river to Silver Springs, seven miles north of Washington, on the high road to the northwest. The water supply of Wash- ington is being improved and equalized by a new aqueduct. Inthe manufacture of building material, bricks, terra cotta, &c., this town stands nearly as well to the front as Philadel- phia and Baltimore. FATE OF may be thrown ————ee—_____ EMIN AND STANLEY. Little Doubt Remaining that they are in the Mahdi’s Hands. The latest advices from the Soudan seem to leave no doubt that Emin Bey and Stanley are in the hands of the Arabs. The khalifa’s let- ter to Osman Digna stated that a steamer expe- dition to the equator, commanded by Oman Saleh, on arriving at Lado had Emin Pasha and a white traveler delivered to them in chains by Emin’s officers and troops. Oman Saleh, in his letter to the khalifa, stated that he reached Lado on October 11, and that the khedive had sent a white traveler named Stan- ley with a letter telling Emin to go with Stan- ley,‘and offering the remainder of the force the option of going to Cairo or remaining. They refused to enter the Turkish service, and gladly received Oman Saleh. Oman Saleh found a large quantity of feathers and ivory. He heard that another traveler had visited Emin, but had gone, and he was searching for im. Mr. Johen Coles, librarian of the British geographical society, expresses the belief that Stanley is a prisoner in the hands of the Mahdi This theory, he asserts, is the only one ac: counting for Stanley's long silence. Phe Mahdi is friendly to the Zanzibaris, and this fact, he renders it likely ‘that Stanley and Emin were surrounded in their stockade by the natives until their provisions gave out, when they surrendered to the Zanzibaris to save their own lives, and were turned over to the Mahdi for a consideration. A dispatch from Saukim to the London Times says: “fhe natives do not believe that the equatorial provinces have submitted to the Mahdi. If they had, the natives say, proclama- tions to the people of Emin’s territory and other official acts of the Mahdi would have been made public and the surrender of Saukim would have been demanded. A coast guard steamer which has just arrived from the south heard nothing of the alleged capture of Emin.” Story of Stanley’s Latest Expedition. From the Philadelphia Press, It was on March 18, 1887, that Henry M. Stan- ley arrived, at the mouth of the Congo from Zanzibar and started up that river at the head of his expedition for the relief of Emin. In his following were 9 Europeans, 61 Soudanese, 13 Somali, 620 natives of Zanzibar, and lastly, the Arab merchant, Tippoo-Tibb, with 40 men, who had to provide Stanley with an additional hundred carriers from the stations on the w per Congo. From Banana, at the mouth of the Congo to Matadi. it was possible to make use of ships; beyond that point it became neces- sary to go by land by the usual southern route along the river. At Stanley Pool the passage by land came toa stop, and the expedition had now to be continued by means of the small river steamers supplied by the Congo govern- ment to the mouth of the Aruwimi river. Little way was made, however, for the vessels had been too heavily’ freighted, and finally a part of the cargo had to be left behind at the station Bolobo, Nevertheless, Stanley, with the greater part of the cargo, succeeded in reach- ing the mouth of the Aruwimi-Bijerre river on the 28th of May. At the Aruwimi Tippoo-Tib parted from Stanley, intending in the first place to proceed to his commercial stations and then to procure carriers for Stanley, while the latter, on the 2d of June, continued his assage up the river with 580’ Africans and 5 Europeans, and on the 20th reached the Zam- buga Falls, a spot that he had already visited in 1883, Here acamp was erected, placed under the command of Major Barttelot, and garrisoned with about 100 men. Stanley himself broke up on the 22d of June, 1887, with a suite of some 480 persons, following the course of the river in @ northeasterly direction. On July 1 Stan- ley reached the domain of the great tribe of the Mabade, whose chief, Ssanga Mombele,is a very influential man. From the capital of this country Stanley now wanted to travel in a northerly direction to the people made known - pe by Schweinfurth—the ‘tribe of the Mon- yattu. This isthe latest reliable information from Stanley. Many conflicting reports have been received, the latter on November 2 last, which located Stanley a year previous at a point west of the Albert Nyanza, and southwest of at which time his force was reduced to 250men, nd he hoped to reach Wadelai about the mid~ dio of January, 1888. ew Blue Laws at Pittsburg. THE RAID ON THE DRUGGISTS DID NOT COME OFF. A Pittsburg special to the Philadelphia Press says: The expected raid by the Law and Order From the Toledo Commercial. President-elect Harrison has Mr. Cleveland's power of throwing off all else than the matter in hand and of giving himself to that wholly and reflectively. While in the Senate he used to ride from Washington to Indianapolis, arri- ving there usually at noon, and drive at once to his law office. Reaching there he would throw off his coat and inquire of his partners what was tobe done and at once set about doing it, preparing a brief or sifting out mass of testimony as if he had been constantly in the office and familiar with every detail.

AN INDIANIAN’S COMPACT WITH HIS WIFE, Indianapolis Letter in Philadelphia Press, There are some queer characters'in'the White Cap section of Indiana, and fa gentleman who recently traveled on business in that part of the country relates the following conversation he had with a citizen of one of the little towns: e got the best wife you ever see,” said he. “She isa Swede or something like that. Her mother was a Swede or Norwayer or Den- mark woman, you understand, but my wife's American to the backbone. She is a saving, hard-working, modest Christian woman, goes to church, has her pick among the women for frietds, never gossips or quarrels, and just naturally likes to go out with me once in 3 while ina wagon and get dinner somewheres away from home. That's the best fun she has, and I like it in her. I'd be a-scared somethii ‘was wrong with her if she didn’t like fun. Well, now, I'll tell you what I done with her when we was first married. I ain't sorry, neither. I thought it all over again and again, and then I up and says it to her. ‘Look here,’ says I, ‘we're married, and we can't tell what a day will bring forth. Now, if it should happen that you see any one you like better'n me, and you shoula do me a Wrong, why, I'll tell’ you now, once and for all, what I'd do. I wouldn't git up and stomp around a ten-acre lot, nor I wouldn't shoot, nor I wouldn't get no divorce, nor have no dal. I'd just give you m house and half what money I had, and Td se! out my busines, and fa go’ away, You wouldn't want to follow me nor ever see me again. I'd take the children, because you wouldn't be the likeliest one of the two to bring up children e’rect.’ “That's what I said to her, knowing she was the salt of the earth, but not knowing what might happen. Didn't I do right? Pshaw! she’s an angel on earth, that’s what she is, but she understood me.” “Did she ask you what was to happen if you were ever to blame?” “Pshaw, no! Women don’t ever ask a man that. Don’t know why they shouldn't, though. The women folks are getting kinder high- headed, though, ain't they, nowadays? Shouldn't wonder if things will ‘stop being so one-sided now, as I hear they are makin’ their own livings and crowding the men, Teach a woman business and she'll be business, same as @ man.” True Fervor. From the Philadelphia Record, Good Minister—‘ The fervor with which you joined in the hymn, ‘I want to be an angel,’ delighted me.” Little Dic “Yes sir; the teacher told me there wasn't any preachin’ an’ prayin’ an’ cat- achism lessons in Heaven.” ans oll Counted Out by One Vote. From the Hartford Post. “Well, Jobkins, you don’t seem so happy as you were when you first settled down to mar- ried life, new home, and all that.” “No, perhaps not. You see,I was elected president of the ranch, so to speak, but now my wife is trying to go back of the returns and ‘steal the house’ and run it. In fact, she’s counting me out.” A Thoughtful Spouse. From the Philadelphia Record. Mrs, Winks—‘‘What have you got your hus- band for a Christmas present?” Mrs. Minks—“Oh, something _ perfectly lovely; a great big handsome flower stand and twenty-five pots of flowers, I'm sure he won't object so much to carrying ‘em in and out when he knows they're his own.” ——-—-ee_____ Fresh Features in Men’s Dress.
