TENNYSON'S LIFE EBBING ,
Thn Venerable Foot Laureate of England
. - lowly Hut Surely I'ttssln } ; Awiiy.
LONPON , Oct. C. Lord Tennyson
is dying quietly and peaceably as
though he was falling to sleep , is the
report which has just come from the
home of the venerable poet laureate of
England. The destroying angel is ,
however , asserting its dread power
slowly , as though loath to take from
the earth the spirit of the greatest of
living singers and it may be hours be
fore dissolution will come.
The bulletins from the sick room ,
which are very few because the poet
requested as little publicity as possi
ble , are delivered to the newspaper
men by Hallain Tennyson. The people
ple of the village of Aldworth know
nothing about the poet's condition for
he has never made friends with any of
them.
AS DEADLY AS THE CHOLERA.
Influenza I'laylnjr Sad Havoc With the
l'oox > lo of Peru.
NBW YORK , Oct. 6. Peruvian advices
are that influenza is making fearful
ravages in Lima. Some days the num
ber of deaths was thirty. The mor
tality returns for three days during
last week show ninety deaths. The
streets are almost deserted and funeral
processions are to be seen at nearly
every hour in the day. It is estimated
that over 30,000 persons have been
attacked with the disease in Lima.
The epidemic also prevails in the
Pachicamao , Cienequilu , lluayeam and
Manchay valleys.
Inclhinn Gerrymander Cases .Delayed.
INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. , Oct. 6. The
Indiana supreme court yesterday re
fused to advance the suits to test the
gerrymander acts of 18S5 and 18al
without further consideration. The
court ordered that inasmuch as
the case was one of great importance
to the people in the entire state , the
attorney general should not appear in
their behalf. As the attorney general
is Green Smith , the Democrat who
kept Lieutenant Governor Robertson
out of office , the action is taken by
politicians to mean that there will be
no decision until after election.
