London, October 9.—The Tories are ! having their innings just now in the British political game. Lord Salisbury's speech before the National Conservative Convention in Newport has made a profound impression, and is having an immense effect. There was nothing about the speech startling enough to cause the Tories to throw up their hats in jubilation or to serve as targets for Liberal attacks, but this very absence of sensationalism cornmends the speech and the speaker to the Tories, and to a large number of Liberals with Conservative leanings. It is believed that this speech will cause thousands of Whig churchmen, who have hitherto acted with the Liberal party, to decide in favor of the Tories, at least for this campaign, in order to avert the peril which now threatens the Established Church. J] veil the Radical Pall J fall (iazettc warmly welcomes the speech, and plainly tells the Liberal managers that they have no easy victory before them. The Radicals are uneasy, and are beginning to admit that strenuous stumping will be required to secure a verdict.QONIIAD & JVIUNDORFF, A TTOHXE YS-A T- LA IT, Office in Rodger's building, opposite the Clemments House.

PLAID SUITS Comprises tie Very Latest Styles of CARDINAL MAXXINIi's VIKWS, Dim.i.v, October 9.—Cardinal Manning's article on "Howl 'athoiicsought to vote in the coming election," has appeared in the Dublin licvicw. The Cardinal defends Parliament and the Constitution, even though expressing Catholicism. He praises liberalism, which is devoted the care of the poor, change of the land laws and enforcement of local option, i le strongly denounces scculiar education, and urges Catholics to place the religion* question foremost and support only those candidates in favor of making parochial schools a vital question in Christian education, and of appointing a royal commission to examine the educational question.

Buffalo, October 9.—A very sensational murder case came to light today in the indictment by the grand jury of Erie county and arrest to-day of Fred A. Bruce, a young man 2() years of age, residing at.Collins, this county, lie is charged in the indictment with murder in the first degree. It appears that Bruce, who is an orphan, was the only heir of his grandmother, Mrs. Nancy Bruce, who resides in his near neighorhood. She owned a number of large farms in the southern part of this county, her wealth being estimated at .fiO.OiX). On October 28, 1884, Mrs. Bruce came to this city to look after a law suit about some of her property, and returned to Collins the same evening. Instead of going to her own home she stopped at the house (if her grandson over night.

WiLLiAMsroitT, 1*a„ Oct. 9.—Some weeks ago Clarence Clark, formerly a wealthy druggist, committed suicide and yesterday his wife took opium and died. Sirs. Clark was a member of one of the most respected families in this State and formerly lived in W ilkesbarre, where she was a general favorite in society. Soon after their marriage Clark drank heavily and  all his money. The wife was so depressed over their losses that she became a confirmed opium eater. The friends of the couple deserted them, and at last they took what remained of their fortune and went to Bellefonte, where for years they were known as hopeless drunkards. They lived in an old shanty until their funds were exhausted. The husband, driven to despair, blew his brains out, and his wife buried him by selling a diamond ring which she had kept during all her wanderings. It has been a mystery how she lived, but it is thought relatives sent her money. After her husband's death she drank worse, and yesterday afternoon she was found dead in her bed with a phial of opium in her hand. By her side was a note which read, "I have wasted my life and don't want to live any longer." j SHOES, SHOES AND BOOTS 1 '111 i.a 1 >k 1.I'll 1 a, Pv., Oct. 11.—The condition of the trade here is sin h eto give encouragement and point to an improvement as the season advan - ces. Business in many department has thus far exceeded early antii ipa lion. Wholesale merchants look for considerable activity towards the close of the month. The most buoyant feeling is in the iron market, 'i'he good demand and the stillness of prices give evidence of an improvement to follow. The Southern irons are not coming to this market as rapidly as they did soim months ago, and when they do arc used almost entirely owing to their fluid tendencies to mix with thel ard cr irons produced here. The Southern railroads have raised their frieghtand this has barred out the Southern made irons as competitors with those produced here. The anthracite coal trade is very brisk owing to the large demand from outsido markets and the improvement in manufactories of all kinds. The same conditions may be said to prevail in the bituminous e< a' trade. JJR. J. SHEFFER, VHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, PUNXSCTAWNEY, PA.

V., Oct. •!.—The trial of Mrs. Druse for the murder ot her husband closed at Herkimer at 12:30 this morning. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree.

The crime was not detected until about four weeks after. IIoboken, X. J., Oct. ().—George Disque, a saloon-keeper, surrendered himself to the police to-day, saying that he had killed his wife. An investigation proved the truth of his statement. He says he went home this afternoon and found his wife drunk, with a strange man in the house, who hastily left, that a quarrel ensued ; that his wife tried to kill him with a knife, and that in the struggle for its posession the weapon accidentally entered her throat. The wound was eight inches long, running from ear to ear. When the police went to the place they found tlie woman dead and her 7-month'-old bahe dabbling in her blood, which stood in pools on the 1loor.

Davis, Charles Seal, and Andrew W. Coley, convicted of unlawful cohabitation, all refused to pledge themselves to obey the law in the future and were sentenced to the full extent of the law, namely, six months' imprisonment and $300 tine. In the Tabernacle yesterday Apostle Heber J. Grant said: "Woe be to the Judge who sits on the bench of the Third District Court. We will not stand his abuse much longer. He cannot insult honest men and revile virtuous women with impunity by call ing them bastards and concubines." A few Sundays ago this same apostle proclaimed himself a bastard, and said he gloried in it. Apostle Grant then warmly lauded those of the brethren who had refused to submit to the law, and called upon the Court to do its worst. He continued: "Judge Zane has taken a course that has made him a coward and uufit to be called a man, and condemnation will fall upon hitn and the heads of his children. Remember there is a limit, and this limit must soon lie reached." His remarks were greeted with shouts of "Amen."

Twenty-two mines were in operation, and the average number of days worked by the mines was a little over eleven days each. The highest number of days worked by any mine was twenty-four, and the lowest number was six. The President of the district reports prospects good lor lour mines, fair for seven and •ileven have poor prospects. Washington, October 9.—A story was recently told to the effect that the President would not kiss the babies. The President to-day demonstrated that there was uo more truth in this than in many other rumors about him. At his reception this afternoon there was in the line of hand-shakers a trim little lady 111 black with a pretty babv in her arms. She seemed a little nervous, and probably having heard of the absurd report about the President's antipathy to infants, shifted the child to her oil' arm as she drew near Mr. Cleveland. The President shook hands with her, and then, leaning over, plumped a kis-square in the baby's mouth. Thus is another campaign lie nailed. PUNXSUTAWNEY, - PENN'A. -CiRANK r.
