Lyons, N. Y., - December --T1?0
weeks ago Philip' liadger aud hi young
bride were serenaded at tliir home in
Sodus, la this county, on their wedding
night, by a party of men and boys, who
beat tin- pans, blew fish horns pounded
on brass kettles and fired revolvers
about the house for over one hour. The
1 ridegrccrq Lepage ipjenqely fcugrj, und
fired Uoth barrels of a gun loaded with
fine bird thot into the crowd. John
Johnson, a well-known young mm in
Sodus, fell wounded. He was carried

pundlns the National Debt.
City of Mexico, via Galvcston,T ex.
Dec. 8. An important financial measure
was introduced in congress this evening,
being a bill to permit the government to
contract a loan of lQ.00Q,QQt. It ia" be
lieved that this Leginping of the develop
ment of a Bch;mie to fund the existing
national debt in such a manner ns will
reduce the burdens of the government,
and that behind it is a group of English
and French bankers, who regard the loan
as entirely feasible. The" government
l,as made the terms ot the conversion qf
the debt just effected in London the right
to buy in outstanding bonds at 40 per
cent up to 1890.

Arensdorf6 Case.
Sioux city, la., Nov. 0.- The Arens
dorf jury retired about 0 o'clock this
evening to render its verdict. Attorney
O'Connell consumed the entire day in his
argument making one of the strongest,
most exhaustive and impressive presenta
tions of the case possible. Large numbers
of persons were turned away from the
court room to-day, being unable to gain
admittance. The greatest possible- in
terest prevails. Judge Wakefield's charge
was quite lengthy and very complete.
The charge covered the matter of con
spiracy as well as murder and it is hard
to understand how a verdict of some de
gree will not be decided upon. The trial
has lasted over a month. A jery large
number of witnesses have been examined.
Everybody is waiting with the most in
teuse interest for the verdict Later
At 9 o'clock p. in. the jury returned a-
i verdict of not J guilty.

The Illinois shore caisson of the, itlrnol
Central bridge, y tlowu tq contract depth,
feveuiy-five'leet below the surface of the,
water,' and the work of filling the shoe or
air chamber with concrete has begun. As
the men are working in an air pressure of
thirty-seven pounds to the square inch,
and their movements are rapid in order
that the concrete may be spread before it
becomes set or hard, the labor is excels
anil trying on the men. Oue, ay" seven of
the laborers were, taun out of the caisson
afflicted witVwnat is known in caisson
parlance as the "bends," which is simply
paralysis of the body. The disease begins
with a severe pain In the breast, then goes
to the stomach, and latterly to the lower
limbs, the whole lower portion of the body
becoming paralyzed. The cause given
that the men go through the air jocks' too,
rapidly, not giving the circulation a'chanco
to gradually, adapt tseif tVthe change in
the atmosp'heric Pressure,
The caisson company has hot baths and
hot coffee ready for emergencies of this
character, but toe men do not take advan
tage of such facilities until too late. Three
of the seven men kicked off the disease
and recovered quickly. Three were
taken to the hospital in bad ehajpv one
being afflicted with apiyxy and will
probably di he. pthet vo will recover
in jfiioe'a plow- process under any circum
stances,. One other, a colored maD, was
taken to 13 hem on the levee suffering
greatly, A white man taken from the
trJasou to the hospital sometime ago is
paralyzed from the hips down, but is re
covering slowly. This patient, while
awaiting transportation. tS the, hospital,
sat loo near to ft stove and burned one
cf his. legs terribly without being aware
of the act. The malady is peculiar in its
effects; n man way emerge from the
caisson in apparent good condition, a few
moments later he becomes weak, trembles
nnd shudders, finally falling to the ground
helpless. Often the instant SUAuiieTfitng
of the patient n a hot bath With copious
potations of hot coffr$ will instantly re
Jiove lh tremble";" at other times the
remedy ""is useless. Cairo (Bis.) Cor,

MaJ. Livingston's horse had been shot,
and the major's hip injured by the fall.
He was very anxious to change the retreat
into an advance, and thus, on foot, swing
ing his sword, he ordered everybody to
'R.ight about, face!" But his orders
were unheeded.
At last, coming up to a regiment march
ing in tolerable order, in the same direc
tion with the general current, and con
clnding that they were sufficiently strong
at least to cover the retreat of the wound
ed and exhausted, he ordered them to
halt and face to the front, giving emphasis
to the command by earnest gesticulations
with his sword, apJ insisting thatr it was
a shame to see a whole regiment running
away. At this juncture an officer de
manded; 'Who are you, sir?"
"Maj. Livingston, of the Seventy
sixth." 'Seventy-sixth what?" asked the
stranger.
"Seventy-sixth New York, replied the
major.
"Well, then, yon are my prisoner, for
you are attempting to rally the Second
Mississippi."
The major was taken to headquarters,
but, fortunately, made his escape the
next day. Youth's Companion. -
Unl'uclty"t)ay for Weddings.
It is well to recall one or two interesting
superstitions that were religiously noted in
the time of our grandmothers. In the first
place, according to an ancient and reliable
chronicle, there are thirty-two days in the
year that are especially unlucky for mar
riages and journeys. They are as follows:
Jan. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 15; Feb. 6, 7 and 19 j
March 1, C and 8; April G and U; May 5, 0
and 7; Jiuie 7 and 15; July 5 and 19; Aug. 15
and W; Sept, 5 and 7; Oct. 7; Nov. 15 and 16,
find Dec 15, 10 and 17. Everybody knows
that Friday is the most unlucky day for a
wedding, while Wednesday and Thursday
are the luckiest. Our grandmothers believed
that it was a moot unfortunate thing if the
brido, after finishing her toilet and leaving
her looking glass, should turn around again
for a last glance at herself . It was also bad
for her to see tao man she was about to marry
after dressing and before the time had come
for Ute ceremony. New York Star.
