Mrs. Dnggatt, who was tho mother of three helpless little children, and whose husband is an employe in one ot the mines in that section, and who was nt work at the timo of the unfortunate woman's death, returned home every Sunday to visit bis family after tho toils of the week.

She made the trip on horse back, nnd, being near confinement, it is supposed that she was injured in some manner, which evidently resulted in spasms, causing death. Dccenscd had been "dead three davs, and the body when found was in an advanced state of decomposition. The three children, who arc very small, became frightened at the lileless body of their mother, nnd sought refuge from the ghastly scene by secreting themselves in tho orchard, where they were found in a half-famished condition by the grief-stricken father upon Ids return home.

Connected with tho recent rise in Western Union stock is the interesting rumor that a little knot of capitalists is buying to control the property. It is currently supposed that Jay Ciould owns a controlling in terest, but this is not true. His pres ent holdings are 2.10,000 shares, while there are 800,000 shares in all. It would be comparatively easy, there fore, for a" syndicate to take control from Gould, especially if Hussell Sage or some other holder of a big block of stock wcro to ,Hn the movement Sage is not likely to do so, however. He is loyal to Gould in all things, and more than once has gone down to deep in his pocket to help Gould out when ready cash was needed. Certain it is, however, that some big Western Union stockholders and directors are getting ready to protest against the present policy of trying to starve out the opposition at the ex pense of Western Union profits, and if the kickers get any encouragement there will be lively times at the next election. Mr. Gould, it seems, has be come tired of buying up opposition companies, inc oiu itiuiuai inion telegraph company obligations are a tremendous drag ou the Western Un ion company, and the American Union and tho Atlantic and Pacific "are rc- mcmlKred when the interest on their bonds comes duo, so it has been plain that Western Union cannot shoulder aav more weak-kneed companies or at least will not message, against lifty and seventy-llvr cents two years ago. There is no prof it in tliis business ami it comprises the bnlkoftho day work. Mr. Gould's theory htu been 1 lint the opposition companies would have to go under, but the dividend party urges that we are on tho eve of commercial prosper ity and that there will be business for all. It proposes n combination or a pooling arrangement, and tho ousting of the Goulds from the management in orderrnat some sort of a denl may be made. There are rumors, too, of a move ment against Gould on the part of the holders of Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad securities, tho accusation be ing thnt tho property is continually milked for the benefit of tho Missouri Pacific, to which it is leased, A largo portion of the stock and bonds of this company are owned in Amsterdam, nnd from there will come the trouble if there is any. Mr. Gould holds very little of the stock and very few of the bonds. CRHAM OF TJ1K MOWS. William E.

A Ituilding (hat Many u Tu!c I'ouM I nfold had lis Wall, Tohv.iu'h to Speak, I'alln Down. This morning about 6 o'clock the people in the St. George lintel au( vicinity were startled and many of thrill awakened by a terrible crash nnd thoughts of nn carthqunke tlitted through their minds with all it ter rors. It proved to bo tho caving in ot' one of the walls of Thompson's variety theatre, adjoining a portion of tho St George hotel. The part of the build ing thnt fell was tho rear end of ther wed along tho whole of the stage abovt thirty feet in length, nnd from top to bottom vhrcc-stories. The back wall was also cracked wide opeu from top to bottom, nnd sprnug outward from a perpendicular some tivo or six inches. This wholo wall wouhi undoubtedly have-fallen, also, but for the fact that it was braced up by a number of heavy timbers from the outside. Sonic mouths ago the build ing was reported unsafe, and Mayor Hrown appointed a committee to ex amine it, and it was further braced up. Had the cave in happened last night during the performance the stage peo ple must have all have been killed or seriously hurt. The rear end of tho roof sank down some two feet, and is now only hanging on some'wcuk stud ding on the stage. The Neimeyer Hros. had tho placo leased, nnd were running a variety theatre in it. Their liceuse under tho city expires on the; 19th inst. when the plnce would have been closed, as under nn ordlnuin-e passed half a year ago; no more variety theatres were to ho permitted in the city after tho liceuses of those already, in existence expired. Wheti the license for the dive on Main street,., known as Hie Mnseotte, expires (lie city will then be rid of the Varieties, and it will bo a good riddance indeed. The building is the property of Mr. J. W. Thompson, who amassed a for tune running a vnricty theatre in it, and ho will now. no doubt, have erec ted on the lot a first-class business building, wliich will be a great im provement to that locality.

SENSATIONAL TKIAL Of Two Young Men for the Nnrdrr or a Young French t.irl. New York, Oct. 6. A sensational trial for murder has just been con cluded at Pas de Calais, France. LaBt April the dead body of a girl 15 years old, named Marie Ledont, was found' in a field. Tho victim had been gagged and stabbed to tho heart For a long time no clue was obtained to tho per petrators of tho crime. Attention was eventually drawn to two cousins of the girl, who lived in the same hamlet They wero youths of 16 and 17 years, named Muchenibled, and the older of them was the girl's lover. These boys were arrested and exam ined with regard to the murder.
