Wrlghtsville Recorder'. The recent elope
ment of Will Rowland and a Miss Thomas,
daughter of Mr. Manning Thomas, has created
considerable sen ation in our countv. The
groom is only 16 years old, while the bride is
a little miss of 14. They had been married
one week before the father could ascertain
their whereabouts; he then immediately went
and carried his daughter back to his home,
regardless of the feelings or remonstrances of
the youthful husband. AVith an aching heart
and tear bedimmed eyes AVill now tells the
sad tale of the cruel separation of “two hearts
that best as ore,” and most earnestly impor
tunes his friends for counsel and assistance to
regain his lost treasure. As time is a balm
fur allwounds.it is hoped that the old man
inity yet relent, and restore to AA ill his little
bride whom he appears to love more dearly
th.iu life itself.
A few days ago an Arkansas newspaper

Augus’a Ereninj .Ton: The revival of old
turn - nn the race course throughout the South
i-dieting with general and popular favor,
.ei 1 from the Spirit j the Time* we note that
Mr. Mclnlrve, the Secretary of the Southern
Rat ing Circuit, has about completed his
arr. gnments, and that large and well at
;. Rii and meets, both of blooded racers and
si rung men. are already guaranteed ail
turough the circuit. Augusta is included la
the great Southern circuit and in the popular
meeting places. It is the intention of the
mu uers to give four races each day for
pluses ranging from 4200 to $350. Railways
and express companies will transport
hnrses and those connected with the
racing stables at greatly reduced rates. The
circuit begins with the* meet at Richmond,
* •. 2*. ii, 30 and 31. and in addition to the
ordinary purses lour extra stakes have been
m cued.” The s>cond meet will l>e in t.reen
i illi .S. Nov. 4,5, 6 and 7. The scene will
ihift to ( ulumbia, Nov. 11, 12, 13 anil 14.
Augusta will tie the fourth meeting place on
\..t, 23. 2i>, 27 and 28. At this meet two all
aged stakes—the Oglethorpe and Georgia—
will Is* run. Finally the circuit will reach
Charh -toD, where there will be a four days’
m. it.D.c. 9, 10. 11 and 12. The regular book
programme will be out Oct. 1. All of these
races will be run under the rules
of the American Jockey Club, and wili
be largely attended by sporting men
troin all over the Union. The revival of
the racing circuit in this extensive way will
indee i look like the old days before the war
when racing was so popular in the South. An
evtra inducement for the entry of the finest
runners in the country is found in the fact
tu.i owners of fine horses have learned that
their stables can be maintained far more eco
nomically in the South than at the North, aud
that a winter in this climate is better for the
health of horses, keeping them in fine form all
winter and in running condition and full
training for the great sping meets North and
West. This fact has been tested by Mr.
Hedges and others who have kept their sta
bles in Augusta for several wmt rs, and it
has proven not only healthful to horses but a
paying investment for their owners. Much
to iii in’erest is taken in this racing circuit,
a .and our enterprising and clever stablemen,
the Hegeic Brothers and Capt. Tom Murray,
are enthusiastic on the subject. Mr. Kerna
gtutn also has some fine blooded animals that
run the Northern races, and a winter at home
will show what fine stork he has. Alessrs.
Evans and Newt H ggie are perhaps the
m>-t devoted horsemen in this section, and
their fine animals, their gallant attentions to
the sports and their general interest iu the
circuit will attract more than u-ual attention
t-* the Augusta meeti g. We learn, too. that
M . . Wm. A. Wilkins lias added tohisalready
fine stables in the next county several prom -
i* ig Kentucky thoroughbreds, and we shall
look for some tine entries from Burke at the
Augusta meeting.

Pensacola Commercial: The American brig
baric, Dennis, Capt. Connacher, loaded with
tee for the Pensacola Ice Company, expen
ded, Ang. 15 on the eastern edge of the Gnlf
steam, a novelty. The appearance of the sky
Denoted a hurricane, consequently the bnz
pnt under short sail. The wind veered
w ever ypoint of the compass and then lulled.
fßodenly the roar of the sea, deeper than the
loudest thunder, was heard; then it boiled
heaping np great seas that tossed
Jr* brig like an egg shell, now on
r* crest of a wave and then la the
trough, her foreyard crossing to the
water on either side. AA’hen the com
motion was over it was found that the fore
mast was sprung, the foretopmast head car
ried away and the vessel seriously crippled.
After fishing the foremast the Captain pro
ceeded on his voyage, meeting with no more
mishaps, and gladdened the eyes of his con
signees on the forty-second day of his voyage,
in tow of the tug £. E. Simpson, who pulled
her in from twenty-five miles off the bar buoy.
The earthquake must have had its centre
some four hundred to five hundred miles east
of Halleras. The Captain did not know to
what the commotion was due until his arrival
here, when he found the date of his disaster
was that of the earthquake experienced 10
degrees further north and over 25 degrees of
longitude. Further lines of deep sea sound
ing may determine the location of this marine
upheaval. The Captain tells us that during
the commotion of the waters there was little
or no wind stirring, and that the seething and
boiling waters of the sea was like a cauldron,
the vessel dancing, bobbing like a chip,
utterly beyond control. The brig sailed from
Friendship, Maine, and encountered this
marine earthquake in about lattitude 37.

CLEVELAN D’B GRANDMOTHER.
Something About his Family on the
Maternal Side.
In various papers there have been ac
counts of Gov. Cleveland’s paternal
ancestry, says the Springfield Republican .
but none of the maternal, which, to this
part of the country, should be especially
interesting. At the foot of Mount Tekoa
is a large, two-story dwelling known as
the Falley house. Richard Falley, the
progenitor of the Falley families, a native
of the Isle of Guernsey, came here
with the early settlers of New England,
and built the mansion still standing,
though so olteu remodeled that the present
building on the original foundation could
not be recognized by the builder. Fuss
ing up the Montgomery road, on the right
of the house is a deep rocky ravine, through
which, until the town of Westfield with
a sacrilegious hand diverted it from its
natural bed, there ran one of the purest
of mountain streams. On a spot near the
present reservoirs Richard Falley, pre
vious to the revolution, built a gun fac
tory, and, safely hid from British spies,
assisted by his sons Russell and Richard,
did good service to their countrymen in
the manufacture of muskets.
Richard Falley was the father of seven
boys and three girls; the second of these
girls. Margaret Falley, became the wife
of AViiliam Cleveland, Ruth Falley of
Samuel Allen, and Louisa Falley of’ Me
dad Fowler, whom old inhabitants recall
as a resident of Westfield, living at the
east end of Silver street. Among her
children was Margaret, who became the
wife of Deacon J. H. AV. Atkins, who
lived aud died in the old Fowler house, on
Silver street. The youngest of her family,
Louisa, was the wife of Alvin Fowler and
still lives on Fowler street, and she and
her brother in the West are the only sur
viving members of their generation.
AVnen the site of the present Methodist
church was chosen another old land
mark fell under the march of modern im
provement. AA'cstfield people recall the
old Dr. Holland house, w hieh stood for so
many years on the south side of the g*een
and was known to the previous genera
tion as the Atwater house. Probably the
present generation are not aware that this
house was built and for many years oc
cupied by the Faliey family, and here it
is supposed that Margaret Falley, the
grandmother of Grover Cleveland, was
lx>rn, spent her early days, and was mar
ried to AViiliam Cleveland,then removing
from Westfield to Norwich, Conn. Some
of the Falley family are buried in the old
cemetery aiid others in the cemetery on
Mount Tekoa.
Westfield has not only been the home of
the immediate ancestors ot Grover Cleve
land, but is still the home of his blood
relations, Mrs. Alvin Fowler being his
own cousin. At quite a recent date the
Mount Tekoa homestead of Richard Fal
ley was visited by fifteen or twenty of bis
descendants, one of them an influential
gentleman iu business circles of New
York city, whose elegant home is in Con
necticut! where reside several others ol
the party, all eager to take their part in
electing their kinsman President of the
United States. The party rolled along
the shady way s to the foot of the moun
tain, and rested under the two
large maple trees in front of the
house. They were most kindly
escorted about by Mr. Williston, whose
family are the present occupants; they
examined the old stone walls, stood oil
the huge stone steps where Russell, Rich
ard, Ruth, Margaret, and Louisa may
have eaten their bread and molasses or
hominy and milk, climbed to the immense
flat rock where they danced, and to the
sumn it of Mount Tekoa, the lookout f r
British spies; admired the remarkably
tine plum, peach, pear, and apple or
chards, first set out by Richard Falley,
and searched for the exact location of the
gun factoi y, but dense woods and changed
watercourse made the search not entirely
successlul.
A MIDNIGHT CREMATION.
How an Indian Gentleman wag Con
verted to Ashes.
The body of an Indian gentleman has
been cremated at Etretat, France, in
curious circumstances. Baboo Sahed
Chatjay, a Marableu gentleman, who had
accompanied his son-in-law, Sampatras,
the brother of the Maharajah Gaekwar, of
llaroda, one ot the chief Princes of India,
to Europe, died recently at Etretat of an
abscess in the throat. Permission was
requested of the Mayor to cremate the
body and he immediately telegraphed to
the authorities for authorization enabling
the Indians to perform their sacred
rites. He aided them in every possible way
to carry out their intentions. The per
mission having been granted, at midnight
wood was cartied down to the north end
of the beach, behind a jutting point in the
cliff'hidden from the town, and there a
pile of 2 or 3 leet in height was carefully
built ol logs crossed and recrossed, with
the ends toward the north and south. The
ceremony of sprinkling the sacred pow der
over the body and anointing it was very
simple. The fire was in a small earthen
bowl and was made of sandalwood, which
is difficult to obtain in Etretat. But in
this case a carved box, a souvenir of
India, was presented for the purpose to
the mourners by an English lady, who
happened to have it with her. The body
was laid upon the pile, w ith the head to
ward the north, and then covered with
more wood saturated with oil. It was
now 2 o’clock, and the tuneral pile was
carefully built. The secret of the crema
tion had been well kept, so that not more
than twenty in all were on the
spot to witness it. The Prince
threw the burning incense in the
bowl upon the north end of the pile, which
instantly caught fire, and the Indians,
with raised hands, again repeated, “Ram,
ram!” Soon the whole mass was wrapped
in a flame that climbed high up the cliff,
brought the spectators out strongly
against the dark baekgiound and lit the
foamv crest of the waves, * * • In an
hour the flames began to subside and more
wood was piled onT Gradually the morn
ing dawned upon the ceremony. The
wind had blown awaymostof the cinders,
and among those remaining only a few
pieces of bone, keeping their form, could
be found, and those crumbled away when
they were touched. AVhat human ashes
could be distinguished were gathered up,
a part being thrown into the sea and the
rest sealed up to be sent to India. By 6
o’clock every vestige of the cremation
had disappeared.
ANOTHER BLAINE SCANDAL.
A Colored Cousin of the Plumed Knight
Locked up for Forgery.
About ten years ago, says an Ellenton
(S. C.) letter to the Charleston Seves and
Courier, there appeared in this section a
a man calling nimself Len Walker, who
is, to all appearances, a white man, but
who claims to have one-eighth part negro
blood in his veins. When he first appear
ed here he was a vender of patent medi
cines. since which time he has been car
pentering and painting. Walker claims
to be a first cousin to James G. Blaine,
the Republican nominee for President,
and says that Blaine cheated himself and
his brothers and sisters out of all their
property; that he had to leave Alaine for
other fields to labor lor a support.
Walker has gained a scant living by !us
labor and by getting as much in debus
possible. Last Alondav he wrote an oJjpr
to Messrs. J. J. Dicks & 8r0.,0f AugjKa,
payable to himself, find signed the flame
of Mr. T. L. Bush, Sr., to It, and to
Augusta and collected the money.
Bush went to the city on Wednesday, dVl
covered the forgery’ and had Walker ar
rested. He is now" in the Augusta jail
awaiting the meetiug of the Court of Ses
sions and a term in the Georgia peniten
tiary. Walker has a negro wife. He was
a bitter Radical when he first came here,
but turned Democrat in 1876. If Walker’s
storv is true here is a fine opportunity for
the ‘Hon. James G. Blaine to assist his
wronged kinsman out of his present trou
ble and thereby partially right the wrongs
done him in the past.
HOGS AND CATTLE DYING.
NEW JERSEY’S SWINE INVADED
BY CHOLERA.
The Disease Rapidly Spreading to All
Parts of the State—Farmers Greatly
Alarmed—A 43,000 .Jersey Bull Killed
on Account of Pleuro-Pneumonia in
Illinoig.
Philadelphia, Sept. 16.—The Record
to-morrow will say: In every county in
South and West Jersey hog cholera is
now raging, and its spread is so rapid and
the rate of mortality so large that farmers
are greatly exercised about it. It is
thought that it first appeared at Pember
ton, where it is still epidemic, and from
whence it has extended. In Atlantic
county aud along the coast it is especially
severe.
The Superintendent ot Senator Gas
kill’s farm near Pemberton gives it as his
opinion that the disease is not true hog
cholera, but something more of the nature
of pleuro-pneumoniain cattle. The hogs’
lungs are affected. Many porkers are
dying in the vicinity of Paulsboro,
Gloucester county. The cholera has also
obtained a firm foothold in Warren and
Mercer counties, and will most likely run
through the entire State.
ILLINOIS CATTLE PLAGUE.
Chicago, Sept. 16.—A special from
Galesburg, 111., says: “The polled angus
cattle belonging to John Rogers, of Abing
don, about which many reports have been
circulated, are pronounced by the State
Veterinarian not to be affected with
pleuro-pnemonia.”
A $3,000 BULL KILLED.
A special from Peoria says: “J. O.
Bailey having discovered unmistakable
symptoms ol pJeuro-pneumonia in his
Jersey bull l’olinus has caused the animal
to be killed. The left luug was found to
weigh 27 pounds and the right 6 pounds.
The hull cost $3,000.”
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
The Exposition Mills Shut Down lor Re-
I>Mirs with Ulooiuy Prospects.
Atlanta, Sept. 16. —At a late hour last
night a rumor was in circulation to the
effect that the Exposition cotton mills
had shut down, for what cause the
rumor did not say. Being too late to
reach the fountain head of information
relative to the health of the enterprise the
News correspondent deferred investiga
tion until to-day. This morning the cor
respondent calleJ upon President D. N.
Speer to find out what truth there was in
the rumor. “There is this much truth in
it,” said President Speer, “the mill has
shut down for a few days so that
some of the boilers can be overhauled.
Wo are not financially embarrassed
and are all right ou that line.
For some time we have been running the
mill without earning a dollar. The de
prtssion in prices lorced us to sell our
products for about what we gave for the
raw material in them. W’ith this s'ate of
a flairs to contend with we have kept the
mill running solely with the view ot keep
ing the employes together and giving
them work. How long we will continue
this programme I atn unable to sav. When
we get our boilers in order we will start
up again anil keep going until our stock
of probably 150 balds of cotton is worked up
into goods. After this there is no telling
what we will do. Our future action will
depend entirely upon the price of cotton
and the outlook.” From the conversation,
nearly all of which has been given above,
the opinion is formed that no rush will be
made to hurry up the repairs on the boil
ers, and that at an early day, unless the
future brightens, the Exposition mills
will take a rest until business in their
line improves.
THE BATTLE IN OHIO.
Scliurz’s Speeches Expected to Have
Great Weight Among the Germans.
Washington, Sept. 16.—Private letters
from the managers of the Democratic
campaign in Ohio, dated Saturday last,
state that their arrangements are so per
fect that they feel confident that they will
carry the State, and are now simply
working to increase their prospective
majority. The ten speeches which Carl
Seliurz is to make in Ohio, are expected
to conduce largely to that end. His in
fluence with the Germans in Ohio and
Indiana is very great. Republicans and
Democrats alike , admit that he carried
Ohio and Indiana for Hayes
in 1876 almost single handed
against the heaviest odds, changing ma
jorities upon which the Democrats counted
confidently trom Tilden to Hayes. He has
a better case now than he had then. If
Ohio goes Democratic in October, the
Democrats expect to carry Ohio. Indiana,
Wisconsin and Michigan in November,
electing Cleveland without regard to New
York. If not, however, they will not lose
the hope of carrying Ohio and Indiana in
November.
Private letters received to-day from
New York state that the additional Mul
ligan letters have had a greater effect
against Blaine than the newspapers have
yet ascertained. They have impressed
men who are not likely to be heard of in
the newspapers, but who will be heard
from on election day, and who had been
halting between two opinions in the ab
sence of additional proof against Blaine.
F. UFA FLA'S CATASTKOPIIE.
Two More Charted Corpses Taken from
the Ruins anil Another Death.
Ecfaula, Ala., Sept. 16.—1n clearing
away the ruins rf tha burned compress
this morning the charred remains of Mike
Pickett, General Superintendent and a
universally beloved young man, were
found, as were also the remains of Thomas
Wiggins (colored), consisting only of his
trunk. This makes five killed whose
bodies have been recovered and identified.
It will not be known how many perished
till ail the debris is cleared away, if then,
for little was left of Pickett but ashes.
His watch, a silver coin and a derringer
revolver, which he was known to carry,
were found among his ashe3. A pistol
was heard to explode while the fire was
raging. Engineer Oakes was near Pickett
when the explosion occuired ar.d turned
to rescue him. At that moment a wall fell
and Pickett’s body was buried beneath the
bri-k ant! debris, leaving only his head
exposed. Finding his rescue impossible,
he begged the engineer to cut his head off
and relieve him of his sufferings. The
quickly rushing flames caused the en
gineer to seek his own safety in flight and
he barely escaped with his life. One
death occurred ara-iig the wounded to
day, that of Wimbush, the boy who was
rescued alive thirty minutes after the ex
plosion.
HARD ON THE OLD PARTIES.
Rev. Dr. Newnan Declares Them Both
Stares to King Alcohol.
Baltimore, Sept. 16.—At a conference
of the Prohibition party of Alaryland in
this city to-day it was resolved to put an
entire State ticket in the field, and also to
recommend that the various Congres
sional districts nominate Prohibition
candidates for Congress. During an ad
dress Rev. D. B. Newnan, ot the National
Executive Committee, said that the Dem
ocratic party was the declared enemy of
Prohibition ’ and its convention at
Chicago was composed of 800 lunatics
running at large. The Republican party
was no better, and the speaker believed
that if James G. Blaine occupied the
Presidential chair he would pocket every
hill in tavor of prohibition. The Republi
can party had no more backbone than a
fishing worm, and was fast hastening to
its doom. Hon. Wm. Daniels, the Pro
hibition candidate for Vice President of
the United States, was present and took
an active part.

Admiral Courbet estimated that h*s
bombardment at the arsenal at Foo Chow
and along Min river did damage of $1,000,-

The London Timet t’ correspondent at
Foo-Chow telegraphs that five of the
French vessels have returned to Matson.
Great indignation is felt at the death of
the Lieutenant of the Zephir, aud the
French are more severely censured
than the Chinese. The public are agi
tated at the condition ol affairs. Meet
ings are being held to urge mediation or a
French march on Pekin. Complications
are occurring daily which are certain to
involve neutral powers. The correspon
dent comments on the weakness of the
armament of the English fleet com
pared with that of the French
squadron. The French, he says,
can fire eight guns to the English one,
and their crews number ten to two of the
English. England, he concludes, whose
interests in China are 80 per cent, of all
the foreign possessions there, is the only
power that is not making preparations to
defend her property in the event ot war.
The Foreign Office has written a letter
to the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow,
stating that the British Consul at Shang

thorities that it would be to the interest
of commerce to reconsider the contem
plated blockading of the river at that
port.
EVIDENCES OF A WRECK.
Live Cattle and a Life Boat Found
Afloat at Sea.
Quebec, Sept. 16.—Capt. Hazelton, of
the bark Hellenside, from London July
26, states that July 31, while|off Portland,
G. 8., after a fog, they saw a large num
ber of live cattle swimming in the sea,
and also a quantity of wreckage floating.
They picked up a life-boat with a gold
streak running round the riin and marked
“Brittannia of Newcastle:” on the stern
she was cut down on the port side as if
by a recent collision. He sent out a boat
but could find no trace of any living per
son. The Captain believes that the cattle
were from a steamship that has been
wrecked only a short time, as they were
quite lively.
WORKMEN AND THEIII PAY.
3,000 Hands Thniirn Out of Work by a
Strik at Binghamton.
Binghamton, N. Y., Sept. 16.—The
strike of 700 cigar rollers of this city for
an advance of 0 cents on the 100 on two
classes of work, 20 and 30 cents, throws
3,000 persons out ot work.
a strike a failure.
Pittsburg, Sept. 16.—The strike at
Hartman’s steel works at Beaver Falls,
Fa., is a failure. Thirty men returned to
work yesterday, under a promise to with
draw from tb(* Amalgamated Association
and the Knights of Labor, and others are
expected to follow to-day. The men had
been on’ 11 weeks.
MEXICO’S CONGRESS.
President Gonzales Heads Ills .Message
to the Body Upon Its BeasKernbliiig.
City of Mexico, Sept. 16.—President
Gonzales read his message to Congress,
which opened to-night. The message
congratulates the nation upon the almost
unanimous election of Gen. Diaz to the
Presidency. The President expects a
quick consummation of the reciprocity
trea’y with the United States. He will
recommend to Congress an extension of
the time of the treaty permitting recipro
eatory crossing of the boundary by troops
pursuing savages. A long civic and mil
it .ry procession took place this morning
and a display of fireworks was given
this evening and the city was generally
illuminated.
An UnsatisTactory Cotton Bate.
St. Louis, Sept. 16.—The cotton rate
between here and New York as fixed by
Commissioner Fink, at 35 cents per 100,
which goes into effect to-morrow, is very
unsatisfactory to four or five roads inter
ested in the matter, and will no doubt re
sult in “cutting” at once. The rate is 5
cents higher than the one asked for, and
representatives of the lines concerned say
that it will prevent them from competing
with the Memphis, New Orleans and Gal
veston Railroad, and is not at all likely to
be adhered to.
Information received this evening says
that the same rate has been made from
Memphis as from St. Louis. This seems
to give satisfaction to the roads here.
These rates will be maintained unless a
cut is made at Memphis. So far as known
to-nignt no cut was made between here
and Chicago by the roads belonging to the
late Chicago and St. Louis pool.
The Colored Exhibits at Ncyv Orleans.
New York, Sept. 16.—The National
Commissioners of the New Orleans Expo
sition authorized ex-Senator Bruce to ap
point an additional colored commissioner
for each State, to be known as alternate,
and an assistant commissioner for each
Congressional district in each State, be
lieving that this will give the coloredpeople
ample facilities to make good and credita
ble contributions. From intormation con
sidered reliable, the progress made by the
coloredpeople in the short space of twenty
years in mechanical and other arts will
he both surprising and gratifying to the
lovers of human progress. It is proposed
to make enlarged arrangements to meet
the encouraging reports of the efforts that
are being maclo by the colored people
North and South to make a creditable
exhibit at the Exposition,
CongrFflaional Conventions.
Washington, Sept. 16.—The Republi

to-day nominated L. M. Coe for Congress.
The twentieth New York District Re
publican Convention tc-day nominated
Hon. George West for Congress.
Col. Louis F. Payne was nominated by
the Democrats of the Thirty-third New
York district to-day.
Speaker Carlisle was renominated in
Kentucky to-day.
Warring Railroad*.
Chicago, Sept. 16.—The disruption of
the Chicago and St. Louis railway pcols
has resulted in option cutting of both
freight and passenger rates. Fourth class
freights are now carried between the two
cities for 8 cents and passenger rates at
present about $7. It is said that the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
is contemplating .putting on a solid
through passenger train leaving here at 8
o’clock in the morning and reaching St.
Louis at 7 o’clock the next morning. A
general meeting of the Western railroad
managers were in secret session all the
morning :
Shooting at a Passenger Train.
Brunson, S. C., Sept. 16.—0n Friday
last the southbound passenger train on
the Port lioyal and Augusta Railway was
fired into by two white men between
Campbellton and Brunson. One had a
musket and the other a double-barrel shot
gun. Fortunately no one was injured.
The rear end of the first-class coach re
ceived the shots. The agent at Brunson,
on the arrival of the train with the news
of the attack, immediately sent out a man
to ascertain the names of the parties and
secure the necessary evidence for their
conviction.
Cold-Blooded Murder in Georgia.
Fort Dodge, Ga., Sept. 16.—A masked

volver and shot her dead. Four persons
have been arrested on suspicion.
A Basket Factory Closes.
Petersburg, Va., Sept. 16.—The large
fruit, candy and berry basket factory of
George Brown & Cos., in this city, has
stopped work, throwing out of work
over 150 persons. The factory produced
about 15,000 baskets per day, which were
shipped North and South. It is said that
the factory will be sold.

A MEXICAN ROMANCE.
The Beautiful Woman Who Kuined the
Last Mexican Conspirators.
Air. John H. Maxwell, of the City of
Mexico, an elderly gentleman, who has
spent the better part of his life in that
city, said yesterday, says the Louisville
Times, “there is a very pretty little ro
mance connected with the arrest of the
last batch of Mexican conspirators. Gen.
Peza is the Chief of the Military Depart
ment. He is a splendid looking fellow,
and a man of royal fortune. Ho spends
his money like water; and there is not a
more dashing rake in all Mexico. No
man’s wife is safe from him, and he has
bad more amours than any other man in
the country. About ten years ago he had
an intrigue with the pretty wife
of a Mexican lawyer named Malendez.
Malendez is an old man, rich and proud,
anil the rumors of his wife’s dishonor
nearly drove him wild. Their house was
outside the city, surrounded by beautiful
tropical trees. An orange grove sur
rounded the east wing of the house, where
Airs. Alalendez’B boudoir was situated.
The old lawyer hid in this grove one
night, and his worst fears were realized,
lie saw Peza enter his w fe’s room.
Peza was at the time high in authority,
and it would not do to have a row with
him. So the cunning old lawyer shipped
his erring wife off to a convent next day,
and laid his plans for revenge.
“With true Mexican perfidy he first be
gan to allay Peza’s suspicions. He pre
tended toward him the warmest Iriend
ship. As the years went bv they became
more and more intimate, it began to be
commented on. Then they were seen In
close consultation with the leaders of the
revolutionist party. It began to be noised
about that they were conspiring against
the government. About Aug. 1 there
was a meeting at Malendez’ bouse.
Among those present were Gen. Peza.
Gen. Echegary, formerly commander of
the garrison at Vera Cruz, Gen. Chanar
l'ias and his son, Jardon, editor of La
Opinion Racional, and two Colonels, Sal
cedo and Rodriguez, besides a number of
army officers and prominent citizens of the
city. There were some thirty or forty of
them. There was a moment’s lull in the
conversation, and Alalendez arose. All
eves were fastened on him. He was
known to be at the very bottom of the
conspiracy, and his words had weight.
He began by telling them that he wished
to apologize for the absence of his wife.
She was away and could not he present.
Everybody wondered what the olcl man
was driving at. He continued by 6aying
that the time had come when he eouid at
last explain to the world why his wile
had left him. Then, while Pez'a’s cheek
became as pale as paper, the recounted
the story of his wife’s ruin and she dis
honor that had been brought on a proud
name.
“He concluded by saying: ‘I have kept
silent thus far, that I might enjoy to the
utmost the sweet draught of revenge.
The man who brought the ruin of my
house is here now. He is ruined in for
tune and in name. He is completely at
my mercy. His head is even now en
circled by a noose. There he sits,’ and
with livid face and trembling fingers, the
old man pointed at Peza. The conclud
ing words were hardly out of his mouth
before a detachment of soldiers filed in
and captured them all. The leaders are
now lying in prison.”
A STORY OF TWO SLAVES.
The Reunion in Wedlock of an Ancient
Uncle Tom and Mis Beloved Aunt
Chloe.
rrobate Judge Hawn issued a marriage
license yesterday, says the Leavenworth
(Kansas) Times , to James and Eliza
Kelley. There is nothing remarkable
about the issuing of the license, were it
not from tiY fact that the old couple were
not fully convinced that they had ever
been married, although they have lived
together many years. It is one of the old
stories of how a young couple, as slaves,
were made m fend wife after the custom
prevalent in |.qpiunny South at that date.
Children were oorn to them, but the slave
dealer came that way and their master
being pushed for money disposed of their
children. Times grew harder, and it was
not long ere the husband and mother were
separated, one going to Louisiana and the
other to Tennessee. Then came the war
and the exodus of slaves to Kansas and
other States, and unbeknown to each
other they both came to Leavenworth.
"While attending church in this city one
Sunday the old man became convinced
that he saw his long-lost ’Liza in the con
gregation and at the close of the service
approached her, called her by name and
in a moment the two people, who had
been separated for over thirty-five years,
were locked in each other’s embrace.
They had saved some little money during
their separation and purchased a farm
about 6ix miles west of the city, and as
they passed along together the question
as to whether they were ever legally mar
ried was frequently discussed and for
fiar there might be some mistake they
concluded that the better way would be
to secure a license and have the matter
definitely settled. This they did, and
there were no happier couple in all the
world than James and Eliza when the
ceremony was done yesterday. The record
shows that he is 94 and she 60.
A Crszy Woman Roasts Herself.
Reading, Pa., Sept. 16.—Mrs. Anna
Rulter, of Paradise, a religious maniac,
who was confined in the county hospital,
to-day deliberately set fire to her clothing
and burned herself to death. She beat
off those who tried to save her. Portions
of her body were burned to a crisp. She
imagined that she was offering herself on
the altar as a sacrifice to the Lord.

by a little matter of that sort.”
Cleveland Not Going to Chicago,
Chicago, Sept. 16.—1 t was announced
here that Gov. Cleveland would visit
Chicago some time this month, but a per

GERAIS OF CHOLERA.
German Scientists Discussing Dr. Koch’s
Investigations.
The report of the cholera conference at
Berlin, as contained in this week’s issue
of the Medical News, states that there
was no dissent from the proposition that
cholera is generated by a specific infec
tious material. It cannot be contained in
the blood, as is shown by the fact that in
fection never occurs trom making an
autopsy, whilst with other diseases, as
splenic and relapsing fever, in which the
infectious material is found in the blood,
infection does occur. He held that the
infectious material is identical with the
comma-bacillus.
Prof. Vtrehow thought that the ele
ments of certainty are still lacking; but
since it is entirely improbable that chol
era is spreading the transportation of any
chemical substance, and since out of the
entire sum of the organisms which are
found in cholera only one appear to be in
any way peculiar to it, it must be appar
ent that the probability is extraordinarily
great that this one is the peculiar organ
ism of the disease. Koch has reported that
in certain deiecta, as also in certain
specimens of the intestines of cholera pa
tients, almost pure cultures of this bacil
lus exist; and that in the soiled linen
also, which we recognize as a dangerous
means for the transportation of the dis
ease, the growth of these bacilli was very
rapid and powerful. From this it seems
conclusive that, in a measure at least,
the doors are closed against, further hy
potheses. As to whether this bacillus is
present in any other disease or under
other circumstances, we cannot yet defi
nitely determine.
In reply to questions Dr. Koch answered
that he would not be in doubt a moment
in a case where the symptomatology
pointed to Asiatic cholera, and micro
scopic investigation should show that
numberless bacilli were contained in the
discharges. The diagnosis of the first
cases is of great consequence, not only on
the very first introduction of cholera into
Europe, but also on the appearance of
cholera in any place, since then we may
render the first cases harmless by isola
tion. The bacilli are found in the dpjecta
at the very beginning of the disease.
They possess neither a capacity
tor resistance nor for remain
ing in a permanent form. We know
that vaccine virus remains active for
several years. That is what is meant by
permanent condition. But soiled linen
cannot remain moist for even a few weeks.
He had kept the comma-bacilli in a
reagent glass for six weeks, but they did
noton that account possess a permanent
form. As soon a9 they were dried they
died immediately. They can stand a very
low temperature and can exist apart
from the human body, and they may,
therefore, undergo a slow growth under
restricting circumstances or hold their
own lor a time without an opportunity
for infecting.
Dr. Koch was of the opinion that, as a
rule, the infectious material can only get
into the body through the digestive canal.
It can be conveyed through the air, but
only to a very short distance, and it may
be said, as a rule, that it is not thus intro
duced.
Dr. Virchow thought it very probable
that it was reproduced both in the soil
and in the human body. Dr. Koch had
shown at least the possibility that moist
earth may serve as a basis lor its growth.
There is no reason for holding to an hy
pothesis of a special generation change or
ripening. The possibility of the transpor
tation of the infection by rags is, in the
light of experience, infinitely small, whilst
that by apparently healthy men is very
great.
Prof. Leyden said that one attack of
cholera seemed to give a certain immu
nity against the second; but that this im
munity is not absolute. Persons have
been known to have three attacks ot chol
era in one epidemic, but it is seldom that
a person is twice attacked in two epi
demics separated by a short interval of
time.
Dr. Koch, in answer to a question by
Prof. Hirsch, said that he had found out
nothing further regarding the period of
incubation than had already been stated
in his report.
Prof. Hirsch said that he had never
known of a period of incubation of less
than two days, and that, as a rule, it was
from three to four days—never five—as
he learned in 1873 on his cholera expedi
tion.
Prof. Von Bergmann said that it seemed
important to him that, for the prophy
lactic measures which must be employed,
we should be able to make use of Dr.
Koch’s experience as to the spread and
destruction of the intectious material. To
the answer of Dr. Koch, that this would
involve, what they wished to avoid, a de
terminate judgment as to the entire con
ception of cholera, and that each one
should form his own opinion from what
had been said in the discussion, Prof,
von Bergmann replied that each one could
do this, but it was important to protect
commerce and the community. As to
what had been said, it gives a good deal
of latitude to the physician. As regards
the experiments on drying, he would pro
pose that certain disinfection regulations
be tried beside those which have been
already used. All possible materials
should be tried, and disinfection with dif
ferent antiseptics and in different places.
At this point the discussion was closed.
A CANDIDATE ON WHEELS.
An Accomplishment of Miss Belva
Lockwood as a Trlctcle Rider.
It is hut natural, says a "Washington
special, that the country should wish to
know more of the latest Presidential can
didate, Belva Lockwood, the nominee oi
the Woman’s Rights party. The candi
date’s lite, written by an impartial hand,
as the only means for completely supply
ing this demand, will doubtless appear at
an early day. Here in Washing’on no
book of the kind is needed. Sbe is to be
seen almost any day threading tbe streets
mounted on a tricycle, head erect,
and feet working with an energy
which is indicative of the secret
of her success in life. Sbe was the
first of her sex to mount the tricycle
and demonstrate the right of woman to
ride whatever will best suit her purpose.
Asa lawyer, sbe ridos wherever her busi
ness calls, and she also rides for the pleas
ure it affords, as others do in their car
riages. And how she does ride! No lag
gard’s pace is hers. Wherever she goes
she is the observed of all observers. She
is not a devotee of fashion in any respect.
She sets her own fashions. With head in
air and face earnestly, not to say fiercely,
pointing in the direction her industrious
ieet are piopelling her, she whirls along,
every turn of the crank flip-flapping her
skirt with unceasing regularity. She
Btops at nothing, and turns aside only to
pass slower goers or pick a stretch of
clear track whereon to display a pace
which might make Maud S. envious.
OI late a demand has sprung up for pic
tures of the Woman’s Rights candidate.
In preparing to supply this demand the
artist has been at a loss how to take her.
Blaine is generally represented as speak
ing in the House or Senate. Cleveland as
standing on the rostrum. Logan as ca
vorting on his war horse—each in a posi
tion designed to show the man at his best.
Reflecting on these things, the artist was
not long iu corning to the conclusion that
the proper thing was to represent Belva
mounted on a tricycle, a familiar sight in
Pennsylvania avenue, where, as any one
will say, she, too, appears at her best. The
pictures, it is understood, will be ready at
an early day. She might have been taken
pleading at the bar; laying down the law
as any man would, anti often better than
many men do; giving it tit for tat, after
the custom of the profession; taking
graceful flights of oratory, as orators
sometimes do, responsive to a suggestion
from the bench; citing precedents and
cases, principles and practice from a
well-stored repository of learning covered
bv that well-known bonnet, or appealing
to the jury for justice for her client. But
after due consideration the tricycle idea
was adopted as not only the most novel,
but the most truly characteristic.

THE CZAR AND HIS GUESTS FRA
TERNIZING AT SKIERNIWICE
Ninety Covers Spread at the Royal
Banquet—The Majesties Take Their
Places at the Head of the Respec
tive Regiiuents of Which They are
Colonels.
SKIERNIWICE, Sept. 16.—After the greet
ing at the railway station yesterday even
ing Emperor William drove to the palace
w’ith the Czarina. They were followed by
the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph.
The right hand side of the palace as you
enter was assigned to the Emperors of Ger
many and Austria. The other side is oc
cupied by tbe Czar and Czarina. Prince
Bismarck and others in the train of the
Emperors lodge in one wi*g ot the
palace. The only persons visible from the
railway train, which bore the Emperors
from Warsaw, were soldiers. Nobody was
allowed on the platform. Polish gendarmes
are guarding Skierniwtce, and nobody is
allowed to remain here without a permit.
The Czar will in a 6hort time return the
visit of the Emperor Francis Joseph.
MILITARY MANOEUVRES.
The three Emperors to-day, clad iu Rus
sian uniforms, inspected the Russian
regiments of which the Emperor William
of Germany and Francis Joseph ot Aus
tria are honorary Colonels. After the
inspection the Emperors marched at the
head of their respective regimental com
mands and formally saluted each other.
The Czarina viewed the scene trom a bal
cony of the palace. The Emperors, with
their various staffs and suites, attended
the Galaxy Rornace at the theatre this
evening.
A BANQUET AT WARSAW.
Warsaw, Sept. 16.— At a grand banquet
last night 90 persons participated. Em
peror William conducted the party to the
table. The Czar and Emperor Francis
Joseph followed next The Czarina was
seated at the centre of the table with the
Austrian Emperor on her right and the
German Em-peror on her left. The Czar
sat on the opposite side of the table. Ou
his right sat the Grand Duchess Maria
Paulovna, and next to her Prince Bis
marck. On his left sat Princess Kotschw
bli, and next to her Count Kalnocky.
There were no toasts, but, at the instance
of tbe Emperor William, tho three mon
archs drank wine together.
A PEACE POLICY THE SIGNIFICANCE.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 16.—La Journal
de St. Petersburg, which speaks with some
official authority, says: ‘-The meetiug ol"
the three closely united sovereigns, ac
companied by confidential statesmen, in
dicates a policy ot peace.”
A TRIPLE ALLIANCE CONCLUDED.
London, Sept. 16.—A Vienna dispatch
says that while the three Emperors were
hunting at Skierntwice their three
Premiers held a private conference, and
there is reason to believe that a triple
alliance was concluded. The same dis
patch states that the Austro-Hungarian
Cabinet will bo convened upon the return
of the Emperor Francis Joseph.
Emperor William will return from
Skienriwice direct to Castle Benrath to
witness the military manoeuvres at Dus
seldorf wituout stopping at Berlin. The
Empress, accompanied by Gen. Von
Moltke, has already arrived at Castle
Benrath.
VICTORIA RETURNS HOME.
Tlie Runaway Bride and Her Coachman
Husband at Yonkers—Mrs. Schelliug
Arrested on a Charge of Htealing Her
Sister’s Diamond Fin—Held on Her
Own Recognizance—All tho Villagers
Gaping at the Young: Couple—At Her
Sick Mother’s Side.
The following, from the New York
World, Is a fuller account of the
return home of Victoria Morosini, tbe
millionaire’s daughter, who married her
father’s coachman:
Coachman Ernest Scbelling and his
bride, Victoria Morosini, returned meekly
to the parental roof of Mr. Morosini at
Yonkers Sunday. But the stern parent
somehow refused to open his arms with
the familiar “Bless you, my children,” and
there was no fatted call killed in honor of
tho occasion. It was not at all like the
novels Mrs. Scbelling was accustomed to
devour in her school-girl days, and the
greeting was far different from that
which the weekly story papers led the
coachman to expect. It was quite too
unromantic—they could not understand
it.
There was only one solitary policeman
at the depot to greet the loving couple on
their return front a live days’ wedding
tour. The early hour (5:22 a. m.) and
the lact that tbeii coming was entirely
unannounced probably accounted for the
absence of iainily friends. Mr. Ernest
Schelling said he did notexpect any of his
Iriends, but it was strange that some of
the acquaintances of his wile were not at
the depot—they set med so anxious to see
her. Mrs. Schelling said she was glad
there was no crowd; she was satisfied
with her husband alone.
Officer Geo. Dmsmore said he was sat
isfied with both the groom and bride and
invited them to walk up to the station
house with him. Mrs. Stolpe, who got oft"
the train with the young people, said she
would go too. So the procession started
for the police station, arriving shortly be
fore 6 o’clock. Sergt. Osborne took his
feet off the desk in honor of the lady and
invited her and her coachman-husband
into the dreary waiting room, while he
sent word to the Morosini family that tbe
fair young daughter and her husband had
been found. Then they ail sat down and
waited while Mrs. Stolpe told how she had
found her charges in Troy. The woman
detective, Mrs. Duden, verified these
statements.
In |a few minutes the bride’s oldest
brother came driving down in hot haste in
a hired hack. Since Air. Schelling left the
coachman’s box to become a member ot
the Morosini family, that tamily have
given up riding in their own carriage.
They find it sater to use public vehicles.
So young Morosini drove up with a clat
ter, and his sister met him. They greeted
each other coldly, and stood for sometime
talking on the sidewalk. She relused to
shake hands, but invited him into the sta
tion bouse. He declined to go, but she in
sisted, and finally went inside alone.
THE B HOT HE Its-IN-LAW MEET.
He followed, took two steps toward the
waiting room, but catching sight of
Schelling, bis brand new brother-in-law
and ex-coachman, he struck an attitude
with one hand on his heart and the other
pointed at Schelling, and said in tragic
tones: “Ah, behold the scallawag, the
scoundrel.” Schelling made no reply.
Then Attilio drove home again.
Capt. Mangin, Chief of Police, .was
aroused, and he invited the party to stay
to breakfast in the station house. Mean
while young Morosini had sworn out a
warrant for his sister’s arrest on the
charge of stealing a diamond brooch
valued at $70,000. Breakfast over, the
young couple started to call at the .Moro
sini mansion, when the Chief ot Police
stepped before them, waved a paper in
the young bride’s face, and said:
“Stop! I have a warrant for your arrest
on the charge of larceny.”
THE BRIDE ARRESTED.
“Larceny,” screamed the lady, “who
dares to say I have stolen anything?”
and she trembled and grew red and white
by turns with excitement.
“You are charged with taking your sis
ter’s diamond cross,” explained Capt.
Mang.n, coolly.
“It’s a lie—an infernal lie!” yelled the
husband promptly, taking up his wife’s
side. “We have not taken anything that
does not belong to us, and’ we have
brought back all we carried away. 1 say
it is a lie!” and he placed his arm about
tbe trembling form of his wife.
“Yes, it is false. I took nothing but 1
own. Come, let us go,” and the little ladv
turned towards the door, but was per
suaded to wait until court opened.
Mrs. Schelling looked very pretty in her
excitement as she stood before tbe police
Captain. Her bosom heaved and fell
under a close-fitting dress of navy blue.
The dress set off her lorm to advantage,
and the little plush bonnet perched on the
dark hair showed by its newness that at
least part of the honeymoon tad been
spent shopping,
Capt. Mangin sent for Justice Pentz,
pending which Victoria’s brother Attilio
returned and formally entered the com
plaint against his sister. While aw liting
the arrival of the Justice the young brute’s
temper was aroused to a t&mbJ;* pitch
and she stormed with indignation, stamp
ing her boot upon the fljor ijj emphasis of
her words,
THEY gTp DECEIVED HER.
have deceived me,” she cried.
They have entrapped me by false repre
sentations. 1 have a letter in my pocket
from my father stating that all will be
lorgiven. He declared my poor mother
was on her deathbed and begged me to re
turn home for her sake—to return and, at
least,-console her and gratify herdring
wish. Bqtthej have apparently not for
given me. 1 don’t care now if the house
is full of dead people. I shall never go
into it again.”
Thus she continued for a few minutes,
and as she became more and more excited,
Ernest, on whose arm she leaned almost
continually, tried to soothe her and calm
her somewhat, saving: “I would not say
anything more, Victoria. Do not make
yourself sick. It will all be right soon,”
but his words did not seem to act like oil
on troubled waters. Again she broke forth
and, closely eyeing the Captain, said:
“It is true I ran away with him
(tightening her hold on Ernest’s arm). I
love him truly aud fondly. For 26 years
my home has been a veritable State’s,
prison for me, and I will not leave him
now and return to it. If lam made to go
to court I will make it sorry for him”
(meaning her father), and her eyes
glistened with fire.
“I AAI NOT GUILTY.”
At 9 o’clock Justice Pentz arrived and
opened court. Mrs. Schelling was arraign
ed before him, and she trembled with
emotion, while she beat a tattoo with her
tiny foot. The complaint, which had been
made by her brother, was read to her, and
when asked the usual question, she
answered in a clear, loud voice, “I am not
guilty.” She was about to add some
thing, but her husband whispered to her
and restrained her. The Justice re
manded her on her own recognizance
until 9 o’clock a. m. Sept. 22, and the lit
tle party left the court room.
The bride, the groom, Airs. Stolpe and
the female detective entered a carriage
and were driven to a lager beer saloon at
tbe corner ot Riverdale avenue and Lud
low street, about one-quarter of a mile
from the Morosini residence. The place
is kept by George Warner, and it was
here the coachman boarded after he had
been discharged by Mr. Aiorosini. It is a
two-story tumble-down frame building,
with half the front obscured by an im
mense lager beer sign. The corner room
is used as a saloon and the rear apart
ments and upper stories arc occupied by
Warner’s family. They were only too
glad to greet their distinguished boarder.
The best room in the house—the corner
room just over the saloon—was given
them, and here they hid themselves away
from the crowd that was gathering in the
street below.
SHE HAD TO CLOSE THE BLIND.
The bride sat at the open window for a
short time, but the curious throng
soon drove her to close the"
puli down the blind. By 10
bouse was fairly
available anil
tree in swarmed,
eager of the famous
becoining'iinpas
were deserted, and ful y
was slowly prom
enading up and down before theold frame
bouse on Riverdale street. It looked as
though tbe mob would loot the barroom;
but Warner was equal to tbe emergency,
for be closed bis house and put up the
shutters. He was not at home to any
body.
Tue hack still waited at the gate with
Mrs. Stolpe aud the detective. The mil
lionaire’s daughter was preparing to visit
her old home, but sbe did not like to go
without, her husband. They debated for
some time tbe advisability of taking him
with them. She did not like to leave her
husband, and he—he thought he would
defer his visit to his father-in-law until
some more auspicous occasion. Judging
front one or two remarks dropped inad
vertently hy the brother, a call at the
Morosini homestead might not be a source
of unalloyed joy. It was even suggested
that the loving father was anxously wait
ing to greet his new’ son-in-law with a
shotgun. Finally the three ladies drove
to the Morosini residence; the young lady
got out and went up the stoop and her
two Mends remained in the carriage.
THK VISIT OVER.
She stayed in the house half an hour and
came out with red ey sand downcast ex
pression. The navy-blue dress had been
exchanged for another, and under her arm
she carried a bundle of clothing. No one
accompanied her to the door, and not a
member ot the family bade her good-by.
The meeting between daughter and her
brothers was a stormy one, and the old
man is reported to have entirely refused
to see her.
Hack to George XVarner’s she went
again, the crowd jeering and shouting at
her as she entered the house. For (our
hours not a soul w'as visible about the
place, and all efforts to get in failed, but
still the crowd hung about the little beer
saloon. They cat-called and yelled, sang
songs, and called for a speech, and passed
inelegant jokes on tne hiding pair. Then
women, boys and girls made up the hete
rogeneous assemblage, but all" the noise
failed to bring any recognition from the
beer saloon.
THE SECOND CALI,.
About 2 o’clock the expectant throng
save a shout as the door opened and the
blushing bride and groom stepped out on
the sidewalk. Schelling raised an um
brella and his wife clung to his arm in an
affectionate way as they went together up
towards her father’s home. Behind
straggled the great crowd of 100 curious
villagers. Schelling walked with his wile
to the corner of Morisini’s fence and left
her to go on alone to the gate and up the
walk. As the door clo§ed upon her he
turned down a lane and strolled towards
the stables over which he had once pre
sided. The new stable hoy met him and
•luring the two hours that his wife re
mained in the house he discussed horses
with the hoy. •
BY HEK SICK MOTHER’S SIDE.
Inside the young wife spent most of the
time with her mother, who was very ill.
It was the letter telling of her illness that
had brought the daughter' home. Iler
father saw her at her mother’s request,
but the meeting was a sad one for all. The
girl flatly refused to give up her husband,
and until she did so the old man ordered
none of the family to recognize her. He
told Mrs. Cantoni that his daughter had
changed so that he did not consider her
his child.
she came slowly down the walk, hang
ing her head and pressing her handker
chief now and then furtively to her eyes.
Her husband joined her at the end of the
stone fence, and between long lanes of im
pudent, staring people they took their way
slowly to their poor boarding house. Two
weeks’ board has been paid for in advance.
Towards evening the crowds became
greater and the road from the abode of the
young people to her recent palatial home
was one cloud of dust. Mr. Morosini be
came nervous and telephoned to Capt.
Mangin to send a force to disperse the
crowd that were beseiging the grounds.
Two officers were detailed, one at either
point, and they managed by main force to
keep the roadway clear. They had strict
injunctions from the old gentleman to ad
mit no one resembling a reporter within
the grounds,and none hut immediate mem
bers of the family were allowed to ap
proach the ltou-e. At midnight there
were still a few loungers about the place.
A TALK WITH SCHELLING.
Mrs. Schelling was not again seen
during the evening, and it was ascertained
that the couple hud retired. A short time
before Mrs. Cantoni’s arrival a reporter
rapped at the side door and asked to see
Mr. Schelling. At that moment a young
man answering the description of that
man, heretofore published, appeared at
the foot of the stairs leading to the floor
above. “That is my name,” he said, with
an air of surprise and at the same time
self-possession. “What do you want?”
lie is rather a better-looking man than
Mr. Morosini has pictured him. He has
a well-trimmed pair of side whiskers, a
small, dark moustache and dark, straight
hair. His features are verv good, and b's
general appearance, outside of being
somewhat dudisb, is that of a bright and
intelligent young Englishman. Ho wore
a dark suit of clothes and black Derby
and while talking held his head erect
looking straight into his questioner’s
eyes.
“•Yes,” he said, “we have come back
and are going to remain here about two
weeks or until this suit is disposed of.
We have rented the room for that time.”
“Have you had a pleasant time during
your brief trip?” asked the reporter.
“Yes, quite as good as we might expect
under the circumstances. The papers
have been so full of statements —some
correct, but the majority wrong—that my
wile did not enjoy herself as well as sb.G
might have done.”
“Are you geing to see your fa*’ nAp , n
law to-morrow ?”
“1 cannot say whether J_Waa.ll see him at
all, and I prefer to say noting mo re upon
the subject. Ory 0 tning 1 will say, how
ever, and that la, we shall remain here
unt., my wl*e feels satisfied to leave. She
will 30 io See her mother every day until
ahe gets better.”
“Do you not think there i3 some chance
of a reconciliation ?”
“I oa' not answer any more questions
now. Good evening,” and he shot up
stairs. During the day the young man
was kind and attentive, and seemed de
voted to his pretty wife.

home team by a score of 6 to 2. The At-
Juntas rolled up 3 runs in the first in
