H«AVY FAILURES IN PITTSBURGL Hnndrmlf of Workingmen Robbed of Their Hard Earned Money. Pittsburg, Nov. 28.—The iron firm of Long Sr Company oOnfessed judg ment Thursday for $300,000 in favor of the Lawrence bank; and the bank closed its doors. The first intimation which the business people received of the bank's inability to meet its obligations was a notice to the Union bank, to which it clears, to return checks to the amount of only $11,000. The bank's liabilities are $700,000, occasioned partly by the failure of the iron firm, and partly by bad investments. Hun dreds of workmen had their savings in the bank. There is great excitement. President W. W. Young, of the bank, declared that the collapse was complete, that he had sunk all his own money and that of some of his friends, and he was ruined. He declared positively that there was no dishonesty. E. Z. Wain- wrighfc had §40.000 in the bank, and Carnegie Brothers also a heavy deposit, but neither will be involved by the fail ure. h. !

But the example of the merry monarch, though dear to the manly testes of the people, oould not avert the reaction which the spread of the new learning and the decline of chivalry were rapidly bringing about among the upper classes, to some extent even under the later Tudors. Still more when the Puritan movement aoquired strength in the country .wrestling, among other out of door sports, sank to a lower level of popularity than it had ever pre viously touched in England. Peacham, fn his “Compleat Gentleman,” published In 1C22, went so far as to say that throw ing the hammer and wrestling were low sports, “not so well becoming no- billty, but rather soldiers in a camp; neither have 1 read or heard of any prince or general commended for wrestling save Spamlnondar and Achmat, the last em peror of Turkey.”—New Review, Faved from the Sea. New York, Nov. 22.—The Mallory kin® steamer Leona, from Galveston and Key West, arrived. Immediately after the vessel was berthed eight ship- wrecked mariners were assisted down the gang plank.

The men drifted around m the small boat, suffering great hard ships, until at 6 o'clock on the same evening the Leona caiye along. M o fcH w CO > tel «» § § to to o M to vote.

Columbus, O., Nov. 23.—Friday the governor, the secretary of state and the attorney general canvas .e l the returns, as required by law, of the votes cast upon the three constitutional amend ments, and as a result of said oanvass ascertained that neither of the amend ments received a majority of the votes cast at the eleotion, and declared there fore, that neither of the propositions were carried.

Chtcaqo, Nov. $8.—The police have made * strange and sickening discovery which will probably lead to the un earthing of a Woody tragedy. Directly opposite the Deariug street station, at 2*24 Hearing street, stands a frame cot tage. Up to fcho 18th of this month this oottage was tenanted by John Hughes, his wife and two ohildren. On the loth they disappeared. Friday morning the cottage was broken open, and the floor, ceiling and walls of three roo >>«. were found almost literally 00 ered with blood. In some places on the 'floor the' blood had not dried, and was so thick that it oould be literally scooped up with a spoon. The police are investigating the matter, and it is the theory that the Hughes family or a part of it has been murdered. Runaway Fr*i(bt Train Wrecked. MARquOTfK, Mich., Nov. 23.— As a freight train consisting of ten box and two flat cars was approaching this city about 11:30 o’oloclc Thursday night, on the Duluth. South Shore and Atlantic railway, it became unmanageable ou the down grade about four miles out side of town. It tore through the cii r at a tremendous speed, jumped the track and went over an emb , a kment twelve feet high near the uocks. En gineer Charles Reinhart was instantly killed. Fireman Liberty badly injured; the latter will probably die. The en gine and nine oars were badly wreoked. A Vernltar Accident. Clinton, Iowa, Nor. 28. —Th© south bound Chicago, Milwaukee and iSL Paul passenger train from Sabula to Clinton, was wreoked in a peculiar manner at Lyon’s Thursday night A broken rail oaused the tender and bag gage coach to leave the traek just as they crossed a trestle, and at the’ same instant the trestle oollapsed beneath the passenger coach, containing twenty people, so that it hung just caught by the ends, bridging a gulf twenty feet in depth. It was a marvelous escape. Three or four were slightly injured, among them Conductor U. Westootfc. The Barnards Are In LucR.

Bill Hood and I were so far on our way, rushed to mount the animal and began to guide and force it into the schooL With deeperate spurring the donkey was in duced to carry Its rider over the thresh old, and what a reception both of them got from the juvenile crowds! Bags of books were at once fastened to the tail and around the neck of the ass, and so busy were Bill and half a dozen compan ions in urging the brute to canter around the school and to ascend the short stair of the master’s desk that they did not no tice how time was speeding, and before they oould remove the stranger Mr. Car lyle appeared. We expected a tremen dous explosion of wrath, but he buret into a roar of laughter—such a roar, however, as, imtesd of tempting us to joia in U, produced a sudden and complete hush, and that roar was renewed again and again, when the aaa, withdrawing its fore feet from the first step of the desk stair and turning round, took a pace or two slowly toward the master as if to salute him. a. •‘That," exclaimed Carlyle, “is the wisest and beet scholar Kirooldy has yet sent met he is fit to be your ieeoher,* .He tapped the donkey’s bend, as he was wont to do ours, and said: “There’s something here far more than in the skulls of any of his brethren before me, though these skulk are patted in fond admiration by papas and mammas, and though that far grander headpiece meets only with merciless Mows.” He then gave some hard taps on Bill Hood's head, and would not tul-rar him to dismount, but for penalty ordered him to ride up and down the school for an hour, while the boys who had been most active in hedjvrag Bill to go through th* faroe had to march in pairs before and behind the perplexed-looking ass. He did not require the other scholars tu attend to their school lessons, but silently •mitred them to stand as ^pectstora of the grotesque procession. Then be himself, seated within the pulpit-like desk, sur veyed Bin and his company with strange mixture of mirth, scorn and fury.—-Cor. Edinburgh Scotsman. fmvwbs About Rut*.
