Inn in Vienna, Jan. 9. A wild rumor is circulated in regard to the alleged poisoning of the late Khedive. It is not believed here to be founded upon any very firm basis of fact. It is admitted that the ignorance of the native doctor may have indirectly brought about the Khedive's death, but that is about all there is in the affair.

Prince Abbas is now on his way to Kgypt. It is not know whether the alarming rumor has been communicated to him. Another theory advanced against the poison story is that professional jealousy may have had a great deal to do with the rumor. Nearly all the European doctors in Egypt look with contempt upon the native physicians, ami are prone to tax them with a greater amount of ignorance than they really possess. Heath Itaclng.

Dr. Carroll's friends are making arrangements for a grand torchlight procession and promenade band concert in case he is elected, It was suggested that the doctor head the procession in his carriage, but he demurred on the ground that it would be too much like a funeral.

Rryant, who was a favorite here with the Imperial Stock Company, did good work. Sullivan is not an actor, but he appeared to better advantage because the part was built to lit him, instead of his being required to fit it. What ho was called on to do was to represent a blacksmith and the boss slugger of the village. An effort was made to get him to come out and make a speech, but remembering his experience in 'Frisco he refrained from indulging. A quotation from hia speech in San Francisco fits here admirably "I know I ain't no actor, but I gets do money just de same.

Those who tirst went down the hoisting shaft after the explosion describe the scene as terribly revolting, legs, arms and headless bodies lying in a mass at the bottom of the shaft and scattered all over the various approaches. Twenty four bodies were found at that point, but only six of them could be identified. Six small boys, names unknown, tending fans, were killed outright and found dead at their posts. It has been learned the explosion was caused by Geo. Lowery exploring what is known as a window shot." At a late hour last night it was estimated that the number of missing would reach a total of Mil, based on the following figures About 4U0 men were in the mine at the time of the explosion.

On the Horns of a DiU'iinoa on the Assessment Ouestfim.

Ir. Carroll put his foot into it badly when he appealed against the assessed values placed upon his unimproved proper i ties in the east end of the city. It is re markable that the Doctor should appeal, considering the tact that he was a member of the Finance Committee of last year, and was thereby largely instrumental in raising the values of properties. Til Would is in a position to state that when the Assessment Commissioners submitted their lirst report, the Finance Committee sent the report back with instructions to the eiled that the values must be advanced by a considerable amount. The committee's instructions in this respect were imperative.

The Doctor never opened his mouth 1 in the Council as to the man ner in which the assessment was to be levied. Those who have the taxes to pay on the enhanced assessment aver that I they are in many instances higher than the market value or the prices at which they I would be willing to sell. Were the Ahler men in a better position to arrive at the i real assessable value of the city properties than the Commissioners If not, what right had they to order the advance over the Commissioners first and honest assessment? There are tw causes which could have actuated Dr. Carroll in this matter, lie was either conscious of the ell'ect of the committee's action, and was dishonest enough to say nothing about it, or he did not know the etlect of the committee's instructions, and was consequently unlit for his position of trust.

Dr. McLean. Me was a past master in the Indepentent Order of Oddfellows, and was deservedly popular. The Royal City mourns the demise of one of its most pushing young men. The tram cars are draped in mourning, out of respect to the memory of the late Secretary.

In order to meet the universal wish of the employees of the tramway, arrangements have been made by the company to allow them to attend the funeral on Monday in a body. It is likely that many from lu re will also go over to attend the last sad rites. Tlie Iturke ami Hare Murders. Edinburgh, Jan. The recent death of Dr.

Wharton Jones, in Kugland, removes still another of those ho were personally associated with the Hurke and Hare murders. In 1827 1 r. Jones was an assistant to Sir William Ferguson, of Kdinburgh. In that year an old pensioner died in the house nf a man named Hare, owing him i'4 for board and lodging. At Hare's instance a man named Kurke sold tlie body for dissection, receiving i'T 10s.

Then Hare anil liurke committed a shocking series of murders for ths sake of dirposing of the bodies. They were found out, and the physicians were suspected. The London Lancet reproduces part of confession, declaring that the doctors had neither encouraged nor taught him to murder any person. Mr. Ferguson was the only man that ever mentioned anything about the bodies.

So "burking'' came into use to designate killing from pecuniary motives, and later was extended figuratively to em Atfp IMPORTERS OF ClGARS. Cnmblc under ISnnh of AT. A. P.O. Box 495 Telephone 275 0 S3 0 I MIIMMI TH I.
