He met Tillle Zelgler, the wife of a railroad man, Fred Zelgler,and became fascinated with her. Mrs. Zelgler was a brunette, with a plump, well built figure, handsome face and attractive ways.

Until recently ley lived happily, but both had if rs. For several weeks they quarrelleu ntinually. Finally the quarrel, came to a fatal termination.

Seventh Allegheny district, became involved in a heated argument with a Mr. Robinson, a well known resident of P 'wickley, on the question of the prohibitory amendment to the state constitution, in front of the Hotel Duquesne, on Smithfield street. Mr. White, for the third time called Mr. Robinson a liar. Mr. Robinson struck Mr. White a stunning blow in the face, knocking him into the ai ms of a mutual friend, who prevented Mr. White from falling to the sidewalk. At a later hour a messenger presented Mr. White's card to Mr. Robinson, together with an intimation th it he was read v to meet the latter at hi ) earliest convenience to avenge the int ult. Mr. Robinson sent his card to Mr. White, exercising hi3 right by selectiug bull dog revolvers at ten paces. Both parties selected their seconds. In the meantime M. B.

London, April 1.—Further particulars of tha disastrous storm at Apia have just been received. The hun-icane burst upon the harbor suddenly. The German m; n-of-war Eber was the first vessel to drag tier anchor. She became unmanageable and was driven helplessly on the retf which runs around the harbor. She struck, broadside on, at 8 o'clock in the moriiing. The shock caused her to lurch and to stagger back and she sank in a moment in deep water. Most of hei men were under hatches and scarcely a souf of them escaped.

Senate—Hut the Field Marshal Is Not Our eyes dilate and our heart quickens its pulsations as we read of events in the Third century, the Sixth century, the Eighth century, the Fourteenth century; but there are more far reaching events crowded into the Nineteenth century than into any other, and the last quarter bids fair to eclipse the preceding three quarters. We read in the daily newspapers of events announced in one paragraph and without any especial emphasis— of events which a Herodotus, a Josephus, a Xenophon, a Gibbon would have taken whole chapters or whole volumes to elaborate.

Need I argue this day that our time is wonderful for disaster! Our world has had a rough time sine* by the hand of God it was bowled out into space. It is an epileptic earth: convulsion after convulsion; fronts pounding it with sledge hammer of Iceberg, and fires melting it with furnaces seven hundred times heated. It is a wonder to me it has lasted so long. Meteor* shooting by on this side and grazing it, and meteor* shooting by on the other side and grazing it, none of them slowing up for safety. Whole fleets and navies and argosies and flotillas of worlds sweeping all about us. Our earth like a Ashing smack off the banks of Newfoundland, while the Etruria and the Germanic and the Arizona and the City of New York rush by. Besides that, our world has by sin been damaged in its internal machinery, and ever and anon the furnaces have burst, and the walking beams of the mountains have broken, and the Islands have shipped a sea, and the great hulk of the world has been jarred with accidents that ever and anon threatened immediate demolition. But it seems to us as if our century were especially characterized by disasters, volcanic, cyclonic, oceanic, epidemic. I say volcanio, because an earthquake is only a volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and Cotopaxi and Vesuvius stop breathing, let the foundations of the earth beware. Seven thousand earthquakes in two centuries recorded in the catalogue of the British association. Trajan, the emperor, goes to anoient Antioch, and amid the splendors of bis reception is met by an earthquake that nearly destroys the emperor's life.

"Washington, April 1.—The next authentic information concerning the details of the Samoali disaster will probably not be received until the arrival of the Alameda, which is due at San Francisco April 15. Naval officers speculating Sunday cm the cause of the great disastei suggested that in getting under way the vessels were driven on the outer reef ot the harbor. The large loss comparatively on the Vandal ia is accounted for by supposing that she must have been ground in pieces by collision with another vessel, pio'iably one of the German ironclads. The breaking of tbeNipxio, it is said, may have been due to the fact that 6he was closer on than any other of the vessels when struck by the storm.

London, April 1.—The annual boat race between crews representing Cambridge and Oxford universities was rowed on the Thames. The course was from Putney to Mortlake, four miles and two furlongs. A light breeze was blowing, but the water was smooth. There was a tendency to fog. An excellent start was made at 1:18. Cambridge at once took the lead, and at Hammersmith bridge, If miles from the starting point, was a length ahead. Both crews were rowing well. At this time a heavy rain was falling. The Oxford crew shortly afterward became confused and steered badly, splashing some, and almost collapsed. Near Barnes bridge, five furlongs from the finish, Oxford made a final spurt, but failed to reach the Cambridge boat, the crew of which, rowing well, won by four lengths. The time of the Cambridge crew was 20 minutes 14 seconds.
