Washington. Nov. 2 .—When re-
turning to his home at Wood ley last
evening from a walk, the president
trod < n a small ronnd stone which
rolled away, causing a sprain of one
ankle. It was slight, but because it
was sustained by the foot which had
been afflicted by gout, it was so pain-
ful that walking wasnoteasy. There-
fore the president did not come into
town this morning. Mrs. Cleveland
drove in and informed the members
of the cabinet that the president was
getting along nicely, but that as
walking was still painful and there
was no present need of his coming to
the White house, he would not under-
take the trip.

would bid individually and they have
already secured the gold necessary
to make the first payment of 20 per

banks, it was said, would find it to
their advantage to provide the gold
for the remaining installments.

Boston, Nov. 21.—A dispatch was
received last night from Percval Low-
ell, at the Lowell observatory, Flag-
staff, Ariz., stating that the canals of
Mars as observed last night ha<J be-
gun to double and that Phison and
Euphrates were seen geminated.
The duplication of the canals
of the planet Mars is a phenomenon
for which astronomers had been
watching with a great deal of inter-
est. The cause of the duplication is
by no means determined. Mr. Low-
ell is of the opinion* that it is de-
pendent upon the season and had pre-
dicted all along that the canals
would not be seen in duplicate until
some time in November.

* GREAT MUSICIAN AT RCST.

St. PktkmhI'BO, Nov. 21. —Anton
Gregor Rubinstein, the renowned
pianist anil one of the three greatest
composers of this age, difd very sud-
denly to-day of heart disease at his
residence at Peterhof, near this city.
Russia thereby loses the real founder
of the Russian school of music, which
at this day is wielding such a pro-
nounced influence in all lands.
The last generation or two has
known of Rubinstein as the success-
ful musician, one of the monarch* of
his calling, yet his life in one of its
earlier periods was of intense distress
and sorrow. He was born of Jewish
parents at Weehwotynetz. near
Jassy, on the borders of Kou-
mania, November 30, 1829, and
had he lived but eleven more days
would have celebrated his 75th anni-
versary. It is noteworthy that Ru-
binstein should have followed so
closely upon Tsehaikowsky, who died
not long ago of cholera. Tsehaik-
owsky was his closest Russian rival,
and a graduate of the great conserva-
tory in St. Petersburg which Rubin-
stein founded|

Chicago, Nov. 31. -A sixty-foot
steel smokestack was torn from the
University club building by the wind
to-day and, crashing into the skylight
of the Handy Abstract building on
Washington street, drove a shower of
two-inch glass into the office below,
dangerously injuring II. W. Nandy of
the abstract company and aclerk.cut-
tinir and bruising almost everyone of
i the 125 people in the office, among
them ex-United States District At-
torney Milchrist.
11. H. Handy, the millionaire presi-
dent of the company, was cut in a
dozen places. A large fragment of
glass grazed his head, tearing a large
: wound in the side of his face, both
hands and arms were cut and his
right shoulder was cut to the bone,
j The noise of the crashing glass and
the cries of the alarmed clerks caused
a small panic in the building. Sev-
! eral young woman clerks and sten-
i ographers fainted and were crushed
I in the crowd, but none were danger-
I ously hurt.

occurred near Wellsville, a little vil-

Thomas Portereheck, a Bohemian,
presumably in a lit of insanity, killed
his mother, a sister and a brother
with an axe. Another sister escaped
through the window while he was
slaying his mother.
After completing the wholesale
slaughter the maniac threw a lamp
j on the floor, lighted the spilled oil
with a match and committed suicide.
Sunday afternoon Portercheck was
discovered acting strangely and gave
j indications that his mind was de-
! ranged. He labored under the hal-
i lucination that his neck was broken
and insisted that a physician be sum-

The Vhsourl Supreme Court Decides the
John Held Case Agalnit the State.
Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 21.—In
division No. 2 of the supreme court
to-day the case of the state appellant
against John lleid, president of the
defunct Western trust and savings
association of Kansas City, indicted
for receiving a deposit of $51.75 from
Alexander C. Gibson when the com-
pany was in a failing condition, was
decided in favor of Reid.
The state was prosecutor on the
theory that, as the trust company
transacted the function of a bank of
deposit and discount, its officers were
liable to prosecution under section
35*1, revised statutes, which makes it
a felony for a bank official to receive
deposits when the bank is in a failing
condition. The case was taken to
Clay county for trial and on a de-
murrer. the trial judge held that offi-
cers of trust companies were not
criminally liable under the statute
applying to bankers. The state ap-
pealed.
Judge (iantt,speaking for the court,
holds that the trial judpe ruled cor-
rectly. There are ninety-five indict-
ments of this kind pending in Jack-
son county against the officers of four
trust companies, repres anting losses
said to aggregate nearly 8500,000.

The District Attorney of Syracuse Orders
a Vigorous I rosecutlon.
! Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 21.—The
| Syracuse city council aimed a blow at
boxing in this city last night. Alder-
man Hill, at the council meeting,
presented a resolution prohibiting
any pugilistic exhibition or any form
of pugilism in this city. The matter
was referred to the corporation coun-
sel. The action is the outcome of the
I Fitzsimmons-Riordan affair Fridav
I night.
I District Attorney Shevc of Syra-
I cuse, N. Y., who is in Cleveland, has
I telegraphed his assistants to use
j every effort to secure evidence
against Bob Fitzsimmons on the
| charge of causing the death of
"Con" Riordan for the inquest Thurs-
I day. One of the physicians who was
: present at the antopsy on Riordan said
j that, instead of only one blood clot
i on the brain three were formed in
j different parts. Richard Riordan
j of San I' ranclsco has sent word
; to forward the body of his brother, no
matter what the expense.* The re-
mains will be placed in a metallic
case and s'nt. Catholic clergymen
refused to conduct Riordan's funeral
and denied the body a resting place
in consecrated ground. They said
that Riordan was not in good stand-
ing in the Catholic church.
Permanent Strike Commission.
j Washington, Nov. 21.—President
| Cleveland will make the labor
! troubles of last summer a prominent
| feature of his message. He is ex-
pected to recommend the appoint-
j ment of a permanent strike commis-
sion. This has always been a favor-
ite idea with him, and as long ago as
1880, in a message to congress, rela-
tive to the Missouri Pacific troubles,
he suggested voluntary arbitration as
the best means of settling disputes.

Kolh l'ropoies to Install Himself as
(iovernor of the State.
| Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 21.—Reuben
' F. Kolb, the defeated candidate of
| the Populist party for governor of
Alabama, publishes a lengthy address
1 to the people of Alabama iu the Peo-
| pie's Daily Tribune of this city, the
; state organ of the Kolbites and Popu-
| lists, in which he declares his inten-
tion to be inaugurated governor of the
j state December 1, and calls upon his
| followers everywhere to gather at
Montgomery on that day and aid him
in taking his seat.
The arrest of Kolb for treason is
not improbable ami if his followers
undertake to seat him, which, judg-
ing from the sentiments expressed at
their meeting in Montgomery last
week, they will undoubtedly do, it is
believed there will be serious trouble.

Mn. Cleveland's Christening of the St.
I.oui* ( oiumented Oa.
Clkvei.am , Ohio, Nov. 21.—At the
afternoon session of the National W.
C. T. I". yesterday, Mrs. Campbell of
Wisconsiu arose to call attention to
the fact that there was ou the fliHir of
the convention a woman who had
christened a steamship by breaking a
bottle of water over its its bow in
place of champagne. This woman, who
was called to the platform, was intro-
duced as Mrs. E. A. Shores. In pre-
senting her, Miss Willard said: "We
will certainly hold up a woman who
will bring in a new eustom so good as
that. We think a great deal of Mrs.
Cleveland, and of how she stood for
total abstinence under difficult conr
ditions, and yet we cannot help but
think that water would have been
better to pour over the recently
launched St. Louis than champagne.**
At to-day's convention MUs Fran-
ces K. Willard was re-elected prj-;i-
deut, with Mrs. Stevens vice presi-
dent at large.
Reports from the Woman's Temper-
ance Publishing association were
called for. The first was that of Miss
Martha Suddith, managing editor of
the l uion Sigual, the official organ of
the order. Mrs. Katlu-rine Lent
Stevenson reported for "Books and
Leaflets" ami Mrs Caroline F. Cirow
also reported for the Union Signal.
Mrs. Catherine Lent Stevenson was
elected corresponding secretary on
the first ballot.
Mrs. Clara Hoffman was unanimous-
ly elected asHistant recording secre-
tar\ and returned brief thanks for

Next came the election of treasurer
and Mrs. Helen M. Barker was unani-
mously chosen by a rising vote.

Americans could afford to, because
they could live much moro cheaply.
WIPED OUT OF EXISTENCE.
The Western Passenger Association
(ioes to Pleees.
Chicago, nov. 21.—The Western
Passenger association, as it has exist-
ed up to the present time, was prac-
tically wiped out of existence yester-
day w hen the Hock Island, Alton and
the Missouri Pacific gave notice of
withdrawl from the association. The
passenger association has for seine
time been in a very bad way and
there has been much dissatisfaction
on the part of the members with the
agreement under which they were
he d together, The collapse has been
looked for as likely to come at almost
any time, and the present difficulty
will without doubt result in the re-
organization of the association on
new lines and with some of the
features which have proved objec-
tionable eliminated.

timbers had cooled sufficiently to
allow a search of the ruined home
four bodies were found blackcned
and charred. They were those of
Mrs. I'orterchcck, her youngest
daughter, and her sons, .lames and
Thomas. Investigation showed that
the mother, daughter and son James,
had been horribly mutilated by an
axe. It is believed that Thomas had
first killed his brother, then his sis-
ter and mother. It was probably his
intention to kill his sister Marv also.
The mother had been an invalid for
twelve years, and had been confined
to her lied during that time.
