Bitter Political Struggle. Halifax, N. S., Feb. 18. The bit terness of the present political struggle surpasses anything in the history of Canadian politics. The politicians have so far forgotten themselves that the names of the cabinet ministers wives have been dragged into the contest and all sorts of disgraceful stories are bruit ed about. The presenting of a diamond necklace to Lady MacDonald by Sir John Stephen, president of the Cana dian Pacific railroad two years ago has been made the basis of a charge that it was a bribe by which the railroad com pany obtained great land concessions. The most brutal attack yet made was by J. M. Mack, a candidate lor Queens, who at a public meeting declared that "Lady MacDonald wore the price of her shame around her neck." Othr stories are afloat in which the wives of other cabinet ministers are mentioned. X? tinted to Death, Wooster. O., Feb. 19. A report comes from Dalton that the father and mother of-State Representative Baughman, were burned to death last night at that place.

Mich- uei waxier, editor of the London Christian Herakl. Mr. Ravtnr 1 ma lrwr a prophet or the promulgator of piwwiciiv; vie lor in a uy years, and has always Predicted that rh m 1 Inn. nium would strike the qirth at about ineyearrjuo. Now that tho time hassonearlv arrived Mr. Tinvtoi. making strenuous efforts to prepare me vuim lur me coming great event, and, in pursuance of his object, is traveling about, lecturing to the peo ple who want to be saved. He came to America some months atv has lectured all through the Eastern and Middle States. ; Yesterday he iipreachcd,, at Cooper Union, and about 200 people gathered there to hear him. The ordinary pictorial decorations of the smaller meeting-room had been removed,and in their nlaces wem imnr Mrrhw? colored and awful representations of me icmira mat are so soon to make things unpleasant on this earth. Nine-headed dragons, scorpion-shaped locusts, lion-headed, fire-breathing horses and flaming monsters of all conceivable designs were pictured there. Mr. Baxter is a middle-aged, pleasant looking man, with sligntly silvered hair, full beard, and a Eigh ly pitched voice. .He talked In a very disconnected, rambling fashion, and as he talked pointed out with a long wand pictured explanations of what he said upon maps -and charts hung upon the wall at his back. Mr. Baxter's prophecies of what will happen during thothirteen years left were unpleasant. Daniel, he said, had prophesied that at tho beginning of the millenium there should be only ten kingdoms in Europe. .Now there were twenty-throe. There would have to bo war armed conflict that would drench all Europe in tho blood of the slain . These ten kingdoms would be Britain, France, Spain. Italy, and Austria- in tho western half of the continent, .and Greece, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, and Bulgaria in the eastern half. In the eastern half the conflict would not be so great, but in the western it would 1x3 terrific. France would conquer Germany. That was the war which would break out in all its horrible fury.. Within two years Franco would .extend its possessions to the Rhine. All other European kingdoms would engage in war. England would lose. Ireland and all her colonies. England'would be compelled to withdraw all her soldiers from her colonies. Then the natives would rise up and massacre every foreigner who remained. Ire land would at last be free, to enjoy her freedom for only a few short years. Mr. Baxter devoted much time to the discussion of the person who is to become tho Antichrist. Everything pointed to Jerome Bonaparte. Bou langer. however, had a slight chance of obtaining the position of Antichrist. The Antichrist would reign three and a half years before tho millenium. His reign would be one of bloodshed and terror. But he would bo finally destroyed when Christ. .arrived to catch up the 144,000 watchful Christi ans. A". Y. Tribtve. Shrctvd llrs. Uetttj Green. Mrs. Hetty Green, the possessor of tens of millions of wealth, called at the banking house of Brown Brothers, in Wall street, yesterday and asked the firm to forward a million dollars' worth of Reading securities to Phila delphia for her. She had the securi ties in a small satchel. 'All right," she was told. ' "By the way," she asked, as she was drawing the certificates out, "will there be any charge ?" . "Of course, a small chage.,, "How much?" "About a hundred dollars." "A hundred dollars !" "About that. The express com pany's charge is the main thine." - . "Why. I can get them 'to Philadel phia for $4," she said, fluffing the papers into the bag again. ; 'How?" "Take 'eni myself. The round trip is only $4." . And the woman of many millions left the bank as if to catch a train. N. l Herald. - ' " & Charles Welse, the well-known pianist arid composer, is dead. AND OP THE l I STATE. 1887. No. 33 1 lidis conws ron SALE. ntch and Beautiful Clothing Displayed in a Hotel. In room 118 of the Victoria Hotel, yesterday, was displayed tho elabo rate and extenslvo wardrobe of a lady who had advertised her gowns for sale "because of going into mourn ing." Two neat and natty French maids wero in attendance, and the luxurious robes wero spread about on chairs and tables, bewildering heaps ofpurplcand flue linen, pomps and vanities that death, suddenly step ping in, had made of no account. There seems a certain shadow or mystery over tho transaction. It was impossible to elicit tho least infor mation from .tho well dressed and discreet young woman who presided, except that the seller had designed the cos'oiraes herself. Through tho day ladies dropped In, examined the dresses and invested moro or less deeply, as their tastes or purses dic tated. At 5 o'clock there were still a number unsold, and the maids seem ed somewhat disappointed that the astonishing bargains offered had not attracted more customers. , Among tho tea gowns wero some beautiful designs, one in particular, a petticoat ofwhito lace flounces, with the laco thickly strewn with pendant balls of red chenillo and the long-trained gown of white cashmere, turned back from the petticoat, with side ro vers of red velvet and trimmed with the chenille balls. Another tea gown had a laco petticoat, with numberless loops of pale-blue xibbon among the flounces, and tho trained gown yvas pale blue surah, edged with blue swan's down. A handsome house dress had a loose front of net. em broidered in iridescent Jet and the long train covered with an exqusito quality of Spani-m .Lice, with large polka dots. This was only $75. and 5ost scarcely half tho prlco of tho materials. Another gown, a street costume, was of the richest black satin Merveilleux, thelon.polonaiso heavllv trimmed with chpnlllrtnmi jet fringes. There wero evening gowns 01 paio oiue saiin, trimmed with ostrich feathers; palepin'i surah and lacej and one of gold satin, bro caded with blue velvet palm leaves. The rest of tho wardrobe consisted of black satin carriage robes, and petti coats made entirely of stripes of gold, blue or pink ribbon and lace. As the hour grew late tho price of these gowns became less and less, the maids seeming anxious to bo rid of them at any price, as tho room wa only hired for the day. However, most of the gowns at 5 o'clock were still there, and they decided to :arry theni to Brooklyn and endeavor to dispose of them in that city. Ihis is an uncommon proceeding in New York society, but it has had kjuks jk tu juuvwicu us. u warurouo just from Paris having been disposed & A. . 1 . . . . "... ui at me same noiei lasi year, it is not unusual for ladie3 to let It bo known among their friends that they have costumes for sale. Mrs. James Brown Potter disposed of her tea gowns before leaving for Europe In that fashion," but a formal sale and public advertisement is very uncom mon. The Polygamy Bill Passed, Sfc. Washington. Feb. 19. In the Sen ate yesterday the Anti-Polygamy bill was agreed to .as reported and now awaits the President's signature. The River and Harbor Appropriation bill was taken up. In the House a bill ap propriating $4,663,104 to pay Mexican pensions was reported. The Sundry Civil bill, as reported by the Conference Committee, was lurther considered. The Cause oTan t eel dent. Buockton, Mass., Feb. 19. David Remillars, a pansOnger In the recent ly wrecked Vermont Central train has a theory of the cause of the dis aster. He says that just before tho accident occured he was going from the smoking car to a back car in com pany with the conductor and that as they reached tho platform the con ductor said that the train was run ning faster than it ought, and reach ed up and pulled the signal cord and was followed bv a sudden slacking of speed; that Mr. Uernlllars was thrown off his feet and instantly the rtarcar left the track. Mr. Remll lars is confident tliat the sudden slacking of speed caused the car to re bound 1 mm tne track, lie saw the car next to the smoker tear away and topple over the bridge.
