A Winnipeg despstch of Wednesday says: A strange story is told by Mrs. Attrell, of Bismarck, Dsk, About six weeks ago her husband went to Portage la Prairie to finish the sale of some land there. He sold it for some 31,200, and wrote his wife that he would be home at Christmas. He did not command soul after the first of the year she heard he was insane at Portage la Prairie. She went after him and found him in a most pitiable condition, his reason gone, the aney lost, and even his clothes had been taken. Mrs. Attrell says that her husbsnd never drinks and does not indulge in dissipation of any kind. She believed he was robbed in a systematic manner, but has not yet obtained all the facts. At times when violently insane he wiil beg not to be kizled end he will cry “ Let them have it." This is supposed to refer to his money. At an- other time, when partially sens, he told his wife that he was looked up in a room for {our days without food because he would not do as somebody wanted him. Mr. Attrell’s lawyer has ascertained that he signed ohtques on the bank, and that the amounts Were afterwards put in and the cheques paid. His bunk book for the Portage la Prairie Bank end else the one for the Winnipeg bank at which he is in the habit of doing business, are both miss- ing and have not yet been found. The case will be pushed. v The exploded vapor, after doing its ter- rible work on the south side of Noble alley, leaped over to the nonh side and com- pletely destroyed the house occupied by Edward Oletot and Mr. James. The house was similar to the one opposite. Here everything was blown to chips. The house shot up and parted like a piece of fireworks. The explosion, as near as can be ascer- tained, reuulted from an accummulation of natural gas in the cellar of the house occu- {Iied by Michael Bowes gnu Mr. Marrow. 0 natural gas pipes were ever put into that house. but a natural gas main in Noble alley leaked. The gas has no scent. and its presence could not be detected. The ex- plosion scattered bricks, etc., for a consid- erable ciamnoe. The side of the Matron: houne was blown out and the roof fell over and hung from 1he top of t-he house to the ground. ‘ Thirty-five Arrests and the Military Sleep- in: on their Arms. An Aplaohicoln, Flex, despatch of Thurs- day night says: The Eecambia Rifles ar- rived last night. 37 strong. Guards were posted throughout the town, and every white man not on duty slept with arms within reach Thirty-five rmgleedere of the Negro strikers were arrested to-day, but the chief one, Sanchez V. Thames, oun- not be found. One negro was shot to-dny while fleeing from arrest. The trial of some prisoners commenced this afternoon. Intense excitement prevails among both whites and blacks. The negro women are violent in denunciation of the action of the whites, and are thronging the streets. The citizens are worn out with fatigue. It is generally believed the arrest of the ring- leaders will have a quieting effect, but some think the negroea will attempt to make further trouble tonight The whites are well prepared, and this fact it is hoped will restrain the negroee.

A tearlees mother staggered from the ruins holding tight to her heart the seemingly lifeless form of her 3-montha- old tube. A woman enveloped in a sheet of flame, bareheaded and frenzied, ran shrieking from the house across the alley. A man dashed off his overcoat and ran to throw in around her. Afireman who held the nozzle of a hose turned the stream on her. It knccked her down but saved her life, extinguishing the flames. She was hurlied into a neigh~ boring hc-uao.

A Columbus, 0., despatch says: Soon after 5 o’clock yesterday an alarm of fire called the fire department out. The news spread that there had been a natural gas explosion and a. crowd rushed to the scene. The explosion had occurred in a two-story dwelling at the south corner of Wall and Noblealleys. Patrol No. 1 was on the scene but no rope was stretched and the people crowded by hundreds into the nar- row alley and pushed up close to the house. The moans and shrieke of injured people within could be heard. A whisper ran through the throng that a natural gas main ran through Noble-alley but this was soon converted into a rumor that the blaze was due to a gasoline explosion in the house and the people did not believe the warn- ing. The fire was almost under control and the people were laughing and talking. The alley was crowded with lockers-on, many of whom were turning to go home. At that moment a terrific explo- sion rent the air. A sheet of flames burst from the building at the northwest corner ‘ of Noble and Wall alleys, a. great mass of bricks, beams and stone that 30 seconds 1 before had constituted a two-story brick building were flying with terrific force through the air.

A SCENE THAT MADE PEOPLE TURN PALE NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION. SUSPEOI‘ED FOUL PLAY. SOUTH ifl RN RIOTS, The Girl Who Makes a Round-the-World Trip Record. A Saturday night’s deapatoh from New York says : The official time, as announced by the World’s timers for the arrival of Nellie Bly, was 351 o’clock, thus making her complete trip around the world in 72 days 6 hours and 11 minutes. There was the strongest enthusiasm on her arrival. She was driven directly to the World office, in front of which more that 5,000 persons had congregated. The loarriages moved briskly from the depot, but despite this they were accompanied by a shouting, seething mob of people. In ten minutes there were fully 10.000 people in Park Row cheering and waving haudkerchiefs and stopping the immense traffic of that thoroughfare. "The scenes at the Pennsyl- vania Railroad depot, at the ferry and in the streets. thence to the World ofiice, were of like description Very few persons have received so flattering a popular welcome in New York as Nellie Bly this day. It heing a semi-holiday, and the arrival of the little lady tolerably certain, probably added to the enthusiasm, good-nature and size of the crowds. He Murders a. Young Woman Because She Bepulsed film. A New York despstch of Thursday ssys : This afternoon, Mary Petrokovsky, aged 19, a Russian girl, was shot in the head by John Popofl'. She died soon after. The murderer was arrested. He comes of a wealthy family in high standing in Moscow, Russia. His parents died two years ago, leaving him vest estates. He squandered most of his fortune in less than two years. He belonged to the Russian army, and six months ago, when a. war was imminent be- tween Russia and some other power. Popofi deserted and fled to this country. About four months ago he became a boarder in the family of J. M. Pstrokovsky, a brother of the girl be murdered. He met Miss Petrokovsky frequently at her brother’s house, and fell in love with her. The girl disliked him on account of his shiftless habits and refused to marry him. This afternoon the girl again visited her brother's house. Popoff came into the room where the family were with a nine chambered Russian revolver in his hand. He drove the rest of the family from the room at the point of the weapon and then shot the girl. The murderer, it is believed, meant to kill himself also, but lacked the courage. He is now in uoell at a. police station and a policeman is constantly watching him, as it is feared he will at- tempt suicide. | Stepniak, the Nihilist author, who i5 coming to this country next year. is de- scribed as a. black-haired, brislly-banrded, lvigoroua-looking six-footer, with gentle ‘ manners and kindly ways. The British War Oflice has decided to form an additional Clyde Volunteer Bri- gade, It is to be composed of 5,000 men. drawn from the existing Clyde Brigade, which comprises 15,000 men, made up of the seventeen .Volunteer battalions of Lan- ark, Ayr, Rentrew, Dumbarton and Argyll. The existing brigade is intended for service only in the Cl) de district, but the new brigade will be of mobile character, and so may be used there or elsewhere. The latest bridge or tunnel scheme is one proposed by Senator McMillan, of Miahigan. who has introduced a joint resolution at Washington, requesting the Secretary of War to cause an examination to be made into the practicability and expense of bridging or tunnelling the Straits of Mackinac. At present transportation be- tween Mackinaw City and St. Ignace is carried on by means of ferry-boats, but this system has now become inadequate to meet the demand of the rapidly increasing traffic. The distance between the two points named is eight miles, but the bridge or tunnel would be located at a place in the Straits Where the terminal points would be about four miles apart. Two railroads run to Mackinaw City, and the idea is to give them direct connection with the roads of the upper peninsula, thus opening up all rail routes to the south from the Lake Superior mines. At A meeting of the Cowgatehead Free Chureh, Edinburgh, on Dec. 23rd. under the Chairmanship of the Rev. Dr. Meir Porteous, the Rev.

Some Directions on Dieting That Should Claim Attention. Many diseases are due solely to a disre- gard of established rules relatingto eatebles and eating rules which every one ought to know and be willing to heed. Gout is caused by rich (code and stimulating drinks ; dyspepsia usually by eating un- wholesome food at unseascnable hours, and diseases of the liver and bowels result from the same cause. Apcplexy is produced by drinking too much wine. In Bordeaux, France, more wine is drunk. and a greater portion of the people die of apoplexy than in any other city in the world. Eat slowly and masticate your food thoroughly. Mr. Gladstone, it is said, gives thirty-two bites to each piece of meat that he puts in his mouth. This is a good rule to follow. By swallowing your food without chewing it, you cheat your palate as well as your body. You fail to prepare the meat for the action of the gastric juice, and you do 1 not permit the salivary juices to mix ‘ with the starchy foods, to prepare them for further elaboration and assimilation. Never eat when very tired, or when wor- ried or excited, and never work imme. diately after a meal. Exhaustion and worry preclude a normal appetite and pre- vent digestion, as does labor too soon after eating. Rest for twenty or thirty minutes after meals. Do not overload the stomach; it is best always to leave the table with the feeling that you could eat a little more. The proper quantity of food eaten at each meal will strengthen the stomach ; by eat- ing too much, you disteud and weaken it. Do not wash down each morsel of food with a swallow of water ; drink what you wish at the conclusion of the meal, and not while it is in progress.

The French ” dry scouring” is just as cleansing as soap and water scrubbing. even for rooms where sickness has taken place “ Dry scouring" consists of ener- getic rubbing and polishing with wax. If a floor is dirty, to begin with, it ought to be scraped and. “ filled " by a. good painter. and done as carefully as an oak table is done. The “filling” should have no stain and no dirt in it or the floor will be ruined. The wood should have its natural tint and grain. A Waxed floor is not overslippery ; in a. few days a family will learn to walk silently and securely over it, and if left in its natural tint it will not show dust. Oi course. the laborious French “ dry scour- ing ” has been superseded by an easy American process.

The best brush for furniture is an old blacking brush washed clean; it is both soft and firm. All the lighter objects are to be carried from the room; the heavy furniture is to be covered with dusting sheets. Hangings have to be shaken occa- sionally, otherwrse they get into a condi- tion of duetiness that nothing can remedy. Then the cob webs are to be swept down and the carpet is to be swept with main strength and thoroughness. The dust having settled. a soft clean cloth, wrapped around a broom. is passed over the entire wallpaper, to remove the dust, and the curtain poles, gas fixtures, window and door tops are neatly dusted with a long-handled ostrich-feather duster. A good ostrich- feather duster will last fifteen years if always put away in its manilla- paper cylinder. The articles within reach of the hands are wiped with a clean cloth, the dust being gathered into the cloth and not suffered to fall upon the carpet, and the pictures are to be swung out from the walls and dusted on their backs. Women who dislike to shake dusters ‘ from windows wring them out of clear water i and use them damp. This isaLondoM fashion and requires the best of varnish in furniture. Carpets at the best are sham cleanli- ness; bare floors are real cleanliness and simplify housekeeping, but they have to be just right or they are a torment. A soft wood floor Will not do to go uncar peted; it splinters and wears rough. A varnished or painted floor will not do In all; it is too slippery, it shows every grain of dust and it “scratches right up." A bare floor must be of hard wood. It must never be washed from the day it is nailed down to the and of time.

An advertisemet appeared in the Adver- tiser’s weekly edition not very long ago from a man in Temby Bay, Manitoulin Island, named Ibbotson, in which he spoke of his desire to secure a Christian woman or spinster as housekeeper or wife. Ol course the advertisement was read by many people, among whom was a Widow in Perth, mother of two children, who answer- ed it, inquiring for particulars. The gentleman wrote a reply, according to a correspondent, in which he described his house and worldly goods, and explained that he desired some one to take charge of his household. The widow took kindly to the idea oi joming hands with the publisher oithe advertisement, and expanded about $20 On a ticket to go to the distant island. She did not find things quite as she ex- pected, however. The household consisted of the father and nine children, the young eat of whom was 7 years of age. The children‘s mother had died insane some time previous, and the blushing and charming widow was loth to com- plete the transaction which she had begun to bravely. She was stopping at Hilton, and the widower went thither to interview her, but the lady of his choice declined to be seen at all. This would be a sad ending were it not that another chapter yet remains to be unfolded. A young man resident on the island heard of the lady being there Without a home and that she had two little children, 5 and 3 years old. He went and had a nice little talk on Sunday, proposed marriage on Monday, was accepted, and the wedding took place on Tuesday. The correspondent who furnishes these particulars claims that the Widow has not made a mistake, eVen if it was a hasty action, for the young man in question is sober, respected and industrious. At last accounts Mr. Ibbot» son, the party of the first part, was on his Way to Bruce Mines to meet another lady who had taken preliminary steps towards matrimony in response to the same advertisement.

Landlord, save me I" shrieked the woman from Parsons, " save me for my darter’s sake!" “Crack!” " Throw up your hands I” said the drum. mer, trying to squirm away. The woman from Parsons complied rapidly, and he slipped out on the rear platform. The train was just starting away from a ghostly tank looming up against the rosy-hued horizon ol approaching day. The conduclo: entered the car from the other and. "Crack!" He dodged into the smoker‘e apartment and peered out along the aisle where the old lady was ” sasheyiug” and balancing before the ourtained seuteons in a stately, single-handed minuet.

The Commotion Which Followed the Enâ€" trance of an Ill-looking Stranger on a. Western Train. The last wesry traveller wes stowed away for the night ; the last curtain was drawn across the section, and the low rumble of the train through forest and clearing, farm and valley, was only broken by the occasional snort of a heavy sleeper. Miles and miles of the dreary solitude of Missouri night scenery were left in the distance ; the train went whizzing by ‘ smell unimportant stations. and now halted at some wayside tank and took in solid and liquid refreshment for the blood- 1less horse. But why should it now slow up ‘in the dreariest of all the many dreary unforbidding places along the road?

He didn't look sick at all, except that he was pale and had a slight cough. He said right off, when the doctor asked him it he would give ome of his blood to save Lookwood: “ Yes. I will, and be glad to.” The preparations wore soon completed. O'Neill lay down on a cot, which was moved up so that it immediately adjoined Lock- wood’s. The doctorsâ€"there were Dre. Cummings, Maoartney, ’l owleeton and Bowersâ€"cut off Lockwood’s clothes so that be was naked above the waist, Drs. Cum- mings and Macartney put on great aprons of oil cloth, and washed their hands in an antiseptic preparation, while the attend- ants did the same to the right arm of Lockwood and the left arm of O'Neill. All the instruments used were washed in this way, too. Lockwood breathed so hard that each time he drew in the oxygen his body shook like a leaf. The sound of his breathing was something awful. Quirkly the doctors wound bandages around the fleshy part of the two men‘s bare arms. Then Dr. Cummings made an opening about two inches long through the skin in Lookwood’s right arm, on the outer part of the arm, just at the bevel in the elbow. He cut away until he freed the median cephalic vein from the surrounding tissues. U’Neill’s left arm was treated in the same way, after hypodermic injections of cocaine to deaden the pain had been made. Then Dr. Cummings took up along rub- ber tube with a bulb in the oantre,and with a sharp pointed steel tube on eooh end, and connected theJife currents of the two men. Successive compressions pumped O’Nrill’s blood into Lockwood. O’Neill did not flinch. Once Dr. Cummings said sharply tothe nurse. “ Hold that candle so that I can see."

One man ' aid : Then He began a. hunt for a man who was willing to give several ounces of his blood to Lockwood. Dr. Cummings ran into Capt. ORourke'a room downstairs and said: “Is there any one here who wants to give up some of his blood to save a man’l hfu ? ” “ Let me hold the candle," said O'Neill, and with his free hand he took it and held it so that the light shone on his bleed- lufl arm.

The doctors took over fourteen ounce of blood from O’Neill, the effect was immedi- ately perceptible. Lookwood'a pulse grew sironger, and he partly regained couscous- 11953. The doctors withdrew the tubes, \ie1 the veins, and sewed up the wounds in the arms. O Neill did not seem any the worse for his loss of blood. but the doctors said he would soon feel weaker. They said they hoped for the best for Lookwoocl. "It’s worth while trying,” said Dr. qugmixggs_nt last. > Lursâ€"JYBB, but papa has succeeded in borrowing only two thousand from Charlie so tar.

He also pumped out Lockwood’e stomach. It was 825 o‘clock when Lockwood arrived at Bellevue in the ambulance. He was laid on a cot in the prisoners‘ cage. House Physician Cummings and House Surgeon Macartney had a hurried consultation. As they did so, attendants put a tube con- necting with a large jar of oxygen into Loakwood’s mouth, so that the patient breathed oxygen instead of air. Lockwood did not revive, and the doctors pondered whether it was worth while to try the last remedyâ€"transfusion of blood. Kateâ€"And is it true that you married for_money_? Eliza.
