Donkersley of Laramie, Wyo., a brotherof Mrs. B. F. Crummer, died at Dr. Crummer’s residence in this city Sunday even- ing from tho effects of heart disease and pucumonia. He had hoped to go south after a week or two, but became rapidly exhausted after reaching Omaha a few days ago. His wife accompanied him and will return to Laramie with the remains, The blow comes with peculiar and saddening effect just at this time as they buried o bright little girl of eight years just a week ago. Mr., Doukersley has lived in Wyoming for twelve years and was well knowi throughout the state, having been postmaster at Laramie during the past four vears. He was forty-four years of age, and served during tho war of the vebeliion in the Seventy-fourth Iiinois volunteers, Word has just been recelved of the death of Mus, Elizabeth Pennell Phraner, sister of Mr. Thomns J. Pennell of this city, Mrs. Phraner died on_Friday last, at Chieng Mai, Siam, whero sho went to engag in missionary work with her Lusband, e i Peddlers’ Ligenses. Mayor Cushing afixed his signature to a large number of peddlors’ licenses yestor- day. The whole number to be issued is eighty-six. The licenso is 80, thus giving the city the neat little sum of §5,160, License Inspector Ruley suys that he has 100re trouble with (he peddlers than any other class with which he nas to deal. He finds that ho avoids a great deal of cheating by holding on to the licenses and requiring the Jeddler to pay 30 conts for alittle sign boar- g the name and number of the person li- censed, which sign must be attached to the cart of the peddler. In most instances he has found that when a peddler gets both the license paper and the regulation sigr he gives one to a friend and keeps the other himself, thus being party to a fraud against the city by enabling two persons to peddle under one license.

Since then it has been one of the legitimato comedies of the stage and thousands of people have laughed until neir sides ached over the complications which arise during the development of the story. The performance last evening drageed con- siderably and until the second uct tho audi- ence gave the p ncouragement fter that the merriment grew in volume aud oy the time the denoucment was reached the people in front wore happy in being able to remew their acquaintance with Rev. Mr. Spaulding and his coadjutors, Takenas a whole, the compuny is not strong, but there are several very bright actors in the cast who save the play from belng credited d'estime. No matter how bad the company might be, however, they could not entirely dim the lustre of tho work, which brought Mr. Gitlette into prominence and which he has since emphasized by & number of sterling dramas, Dustan has the role of Rev.

The other members of the cast, while not strong enough to merit individual mention, helped to develop the story in an agreeable manner, A HUGE JOKE. Effect of Hunga Ambitious n Humor On an olitician, [Special Cablegram ~The Pesther-Lloyd publishes a letter, and vouches for the correctness of its details, relating to the famous Abranyi interview, claiming that it was a pract- ical joke, designed by a gentleman on Avranyi, the Hungarian _deputy, in revenge for some fancied grievance which the joker had against Abranyi, The result was, according to the Pesther-Lloyd, thata man resembling Prince Bismarck was em- ploved to personate. the ex-chancellor and Abranyi is said to h len iuto the trap and to tave interyiewed Prince Bismark's Herr Abranyi, it. will be remembered, in August Jast published an account of an'in- w_he was supposed to have had with Prince Bismarck, The ex-chancellor imme- diately after the publication referred to, re- pudiated all the assertions. made. Ab- ranyi then sought another inter- view with Prince Bismarck, but was refused admittance to the ex-chancellor's presehee, Abranyi was highly incensed at this proceeding and at the taunts and jeers - he received on all sides from the press and from nis friends’ and acquaintances, and finally he was goaded into publishing a letter August 27 in which ho reproduced his former statem and insisted upen their correct- ness. This _brought out another denial from Prince Bismarck, and a renewed onslaught on tho unfortunate Hungarian deputy, On August 28, as a result. of his alleged inter- view with Prince Bismarck Abranyi resigned bis seat in the Hungarian diet. Two days later the unlucky nterviewer published a circumstantial acconnt of his alleged inter- view and was announced to be seeking a ro- clection tq the aiet, The last Leard of Abranyi was on Septem- ber 26 when the Hamburger Nachrichten said that Abranyi, in consequence of the jib- ing he had received on account of his alleged interview with Prince Bismarck, was suffer- ing 0 severely from nervous mania that his friends had decided that 1t would be neces- sary to place him in a lunatic asylum, e HIPPING THEM IN, The Republican Caucus Drops a Gen- the Hint.

Perkins of Kan- sus and Barting of Nevada spoke for free coinage, and Walker of Massachusetts against it. Henderson of Tilinsis, Kerr of Iowa and Anderson ol Kansas were inclined toward a more liberal silver policy, but believed additional legisla- tion on the subject at this late day unwise for business and political reasons, Cannon spoke against freo coinage and further legislation on the subject. He favored glving a subsidy shipping bill and other important measures, now pending, a chance. Finally a resolution was adopted that the secretary be instructed to request the immediate presence and con- tinued attendanco of absent republican mem- bers during the remainder of the session, e REFUSED TO BE ROBBED, A Chicago Jeweler Proves Too Much for Three 1hieves.
