Paris, September 11.—Gambetta and
M. Murat, publishers of the Iiepublique
Francaise, woro to have appeared this
morning before the Tenth Chamber of the
•Correctional Police to answer respective'
ly for delivering and publishing the
former's Lille speech. Neither, however,
responded when the case was called.
M. Gambetta, in consequence of the
illness of his counsel, Ladged, petitioned
for nn adjournment of the trial for ono
week, which was refused. Entry of de
fault was, therefore, made against M
Gambetta, and Murat and M. Gambetta
were condemned, in default, to three
months’ imprisonmont and a flue of 2,000

Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Paris, Sept. 11.—The judgment againBt
M. Gambetta is based upon bis and M.
Murat’s admission before the Judge d’ln
struotion that the speech was published
by his (Gambetta’s) order. The judg
ment points out, in detail, the culpaoility
of ten passages in the speech, and par*
tioularly deolaros that the passage in
which Gambetta said President MacMahon
must submit to the decision of the nation
or resign, was a threat, constituting an
attack on the loyalty, honor, dignity, and
consequently, on the person of the Pres
ident of the Republic. The judgment
will be communicated to M. Gambetta
this evening. An appeal will be taken
which will bo heard September 20tb.
The police this evening seized five of
the principal Republican papers, including
Le Temps, La France and Le Dicn
Public. It is believed the seizure was
made in consequence of the publication
of a report of the trial or for violent ar
ticles.
The Pays, a Bonapartist organ, was
also seized. The seizuro, however, was
only maintained as regards to the Dien
Public.
A subscription has been opened in
Paris for a monument to M. Thiers.

SUIT TO SET ASIDE THE COMBINATION.
New York, Sept. 11.—The Evening
Post has the following : Proceedings have
been begun in the Supreme Court of
Kings county, by summons and com
plaint, to set aside the recent arrange
ment for a consolidation of tho interests
of tho Wostorn Union and Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Companies. Tho pro
ceedings were begun by Jesso Johnson,
who alleges that he holds twenty shares
of the Atlantic and Pacific stock. Tho
complaint charges tho arrangement be
tween the two companies was illegal.
Mr. Orton says that a dissolution of the
arrangement, would be prejudicial to tho
Atlantia & Pacific Company but would
not injure the Western Union, whioh now
hold enough stock of the formor Compa
ny, to provont them from any damaging
competition in the future.

INTENSE CURIOSITY OF TUB TURKISH WOMEN
TO INSPECT THE PERSONS AND APPAREL OF
AMERICAN VISITORS.
Philadelphia Prosa,] ^
Harem life seems natural to the East.
From time immemorial polygamy has
prevailed in tho oriental world. The Mo
hammedans have only perpetuated the
customs of the patriarohs. Women from
remote antiquity have here been relegated
to a life of seclusion. Among the olassio
Greeks they passod their time at home,
and on tho rare occasions that they ap
peared abroad they were vailed like the
Turkish women of the present day. As
little care was taken in their education
as in that of Mohammedan females, wom
en in the East have always occupied
a peculiar position, not laboring
outHido of their houses, and, in
fact, doing little or nothing for
tho maintenance of the family.
Thoy aro regarded as tender plants that
can not hear too free exposure in the
opon air. There reigns in Turkish house
holds a singular quietude. The houses
being devilled into tho haremlite or wo
men’s apartment, anil the selumlik or
men’s apartment, tho long intorvoning
hall of soperatiou is uuoccnpied, and is
rarely traversed, Imt by visitors to one
division or the other. No one oan as-
coud to tho upper story without previous
announcement, and, if it bo a formal vis
it, it is generally notified some time in
advance. The ladies of the harem like
to get themselves np in their best attire
in order to make a good improssion on
their guests. And then there aro the
sweetmeats, the sherbets, the rahat lok-
oum, and other dainties that must bo
prepared, and are de riguer on all formal
visits. Frank, or foreign Christian la
dies are cordially welcomed, and the
more so if thoy know n little Turkish.
Vails aro, of course, laid aside in the har
em, so that giaour and true believer
meet face to face, and have an opportu
nity of examining each other’s oharms.
The Turkish women fondlo their infidel
sisters liko bales of precious goods. They
note tho shape of their garments, take
them in their hands to see how they are
mnilo, ask them to unlock their bracelets
that thoy may inspect them, got them to
unbounet that thoy may try on their hats,
and from tho crown of their heads to the
soles of their foot there is not an article
of wearing apparel that they do not scru
tinize. They nro uever dime crying
“mashallah /” (wonderful) if their guest
be a beauty. Of an American lady, fair,
gentle, graceful ami fascinating, a pasha’s
wife asked how it was possible that so
comely a porsou should come from the
Ycni Dunya (the New World). She knew
America only by that nemo, aud to her it
was a land of forests and savages. When
she was told thero were cities there as
largo as Stamboul, and more beautiful
even, in her simplicity she could not re
frain from expressing her astonishment:
“Ayvallah ! guerchek mi dvr?" “Heav
ens ! Can it bo true ?” “But your

Johnston died Sunday from his injuries
redoubt, which could not reply to the siege
battery, being too. long. So it
il pounded away at the field batteries
on the ridge, but the practice was not
good, and few casualties oocurred. The
Russian siege battery mado admirable
praotice at the Grivoca redoubt, which is
the key to tho position, and instead of
spreading thoir fire the Russians should
have concentrated upon it the whole
weight of the bombardment. As it is
they may bombard it for a weok, and af
ter all not succeed in taking it.
Tho assault was intended to begin yes
terday afternoon at 5 o’clock, but owing
to delays the troops were not in position
by tho appointed time everywhere. Now
the infantry is in position waiting for the
word. Towards noon tho Russian infantry
pushed forward in skirmishing order,
driving bnck the outlying Turks. The
artillery followed and came into action at
short range. The Turkish return fire,
chiefly directed at tho Russian first line
of artillery, is very heavy, but little barm
is done. Further on the loft to tho crest
of the range, beyond lindisova, which was
ono array of field battories, the firing was
very heavy, the Turkish shells doing great
damage among the gunnerH,ond falling be-
hiud among the infautry on the reverse
slope and in ltadisova. At throe o’clock
the Russians advanced toward tho Turks
ish positions and continued to fire rather
slackly. Tho fire must have reached into
Plevna. There are no indications of an
assault to-day. I believe it will bo com
menced to-morrow. The Russian column

Student—Some of your ideas about
Archimedes are grossly perverted,
was not the inventor of architecture, as
you suppose. Wo know nothing nbont
what you call Archimedes, even, and
do not think ho was over a Hea-faring
man. Ho invented the phrase, “Give me
where to stand, and I will move the
world,” for which a costly monument has
boon erected to his memory by gontiemen
who edit semi-monthly journals, having a
circulation of 850 paid subscribers and
mako addresses at the meetings of press
associations. Archimedes never visited
Egypt; indeed, he was never as far West
ah Illinois in his life. Ho wus born iu
Syracuse, N. Y., and while bathing there
one day somebody stole his clothes, and
ho act'd in the frantic manner usually ob
served by gentlemen who are robbed of
thoir raiment in the same way. Rut in
stead of waiting until dark, and then
snonking homo through tho by-ways and

the Htroets to his lodgings, clad in noth

found it.' I havo found it!” which was a
vory hold but ungrammatical lie—he had
lost thorn.
During the strike, when tho editor of
tho Rome tkntincl came up to Syracuse
with a mob of riotorH, Archimedes at
tempted to sol fire to the cbtiaI boats with
powerful sun*glasses. In this he was not
succoesful, but whenever he got a good
focus on the baro back of a sleeping Ro
man tho waking warrior would make
Romo howl with ories for tho polioe, and
would have to wear half a watermelon
rind under his shirt to cover the blister

off his uniform, shut himself up and pre

tho novel is “Playing the Mischief.” To
a casual reader the claim on whioh this
story is founded will seem too absurd to
be rent; and tho hook will ho thrown aside
as a miserable attempt to portray a legis
lative incident which fails from exaggera
tion. In the story, whioh nine persons
out of ten will call exaggerated, the pretty
widow lobbyist’s grandfather had a barn
which was destroyed by tho Federal army
in tho war of 1812. She secures tho pay
tueul of a claim of $100,000 for this barn,
aud the modus operandi is described in the
unraveling of the talc. The ouly fault with
tho hook ah a picture of tho lobby is that it
is too mild. Tho tiles of the Committee on
Claims of tho House of Representatives
will furnish ncttial claims a hundred
fold more absurd than thiH fiction, and
most of them come from pretty women.
Tho porsou who will go down in history
as having proposed tho most stupendous
fraud and inexcusable absurdity in the
shape of a claim is Reuoni 8. Fuller, a
Democratic member of Congress from the
First Indiana District. Tho woman in
tho caso was Annie Clnudino Whittimore,
alias Wallingford, alias Collier, alias Tif
fany, and tho owner of a half dozen moro
aliases. She has just come into notoriety
again by causing the arrest of a Philadel
phia merchant, whom she claims robbed
her of $1,000 at a Cape May hotel.
This woman is perhaps tho boldest ad
venturous ever known in Washington.
Neither Lola Montezor Phonix Blackford,
nor any other beautiful siren was ever ex
port in weaving traps to catch that innocent
or more heartlessly cruel in the
treatment of her victims. Many a diH*
tinguished statesman will shudder at tho
mention of hor namo, and hor appearance
a Washington hotel will cause as much
consternation among her quondam vic
tims as if she woro a devil with a hundred
heads.
Sho is a ripo, voluptuous croaturo, ar
changeable in her appearance as a oh a*
melon; BomotimeB glittering with a fierce,
cruel beauty; at othor times the picture
>f innocent girlhood, timid and confid
ing. Homotimes you would think she
was forty years old, mature and able
enough to rule an empire with wisdom.
At other times she will seem to bo a
mere bud of woman, fit only to do croch
et work or answer a lover’s smile. But
down in tbo volume of hor memory aro
written pages after pogos of crimes—
oriuios worse than murder. This woman
has desolated more homes, has hlightod
moro happiness, has ruined more mon,
and eausod more heart-ache than any
creature satan over inspired. Many of
hor adventures nro know to tho world;
society 1ms marked many of her victims
as outcasts; but all tho ruin sho has caused
cannot bo reckoned.
She is tho daughter of a Georgia plant
er, named Whittimore, and was horn, as
she has always claimed, on the ocean,
while her parents wore returning from a
tour in Europo. About the close of the
at her homo near Dalton, Ga., she
mado tho acquaintance of a young army
•Ulcer, Lieut. Wallingford, of the Sev
enth Cavalry. She was then about nine
teen, aud is snid to havo boon ravishingly
bountiful. Sho married him, followed
him to a military post in Kansas, and
afterward went farther wost, accompany
ing hor hiirdmud as ho wns transferred
from one point to another with his com
mand. Sho is said to havo made his life
very unhappy, to have destroyed his man
hood, and drivon him to that source of
relief whore unhappy husbands too often
go—tho bottle. In 1882), or thereabouts,
sho left him and eloped with a Colorado
gamblnr named Collier, living for
a oouplo of years with him at
Denver ns his wife. Wallingford
soon nftor her elopement, was cash
iorod from tho army for intoxication aud
conduct unbecoming aa otticor, and Lan
since diod. Until 1871 sho made tho
Westorn States and Territories tho scenes
of hor operations, “living upon society,”
ns tho term goes, maintaining a oortaiu
degree of respectability, but carrying on a
system of blackmailing schemes involving
many men of wnnlth and prominence.
Some time iu 1878 she established nn inti
macy with Lieut. Tiffany, tho son of tho
Rev. Dr. Tiffany, formerly pastor of a
Methodist church in Chicago, and with
him shared tho notorioty of a romantic
and nomowbnt mysterious marriage at a
St. Louis hotel. As near ns J can remem
ber the circumstances, sho was stopping
then with young Tiffany, and appealed to
tho proprietor of the hotel as an injured
woman, to compel Tiffany to save her
reputation by making her his wifo. Tho
Inttor consented to the ceremony, to avoid
notorioty, a clorgymnn was called in at
midnight, and the papers were full of it
tho next day.
Soon after this occurrence Tiffany loft
hor, and was subsequently killed iu u rail
road disaster in Pennsylvania.
Her next appearance before tho public
was in Chicago, whoro she was involved
tho mysterious woman in a bond rob*
bery case, tho circumstances of which
aro published in the newspapers.
She commenced a scries of blackmail
ing operations in Western cities, tavoliug
about under various nliasos, ami will ho
well remembered in Detroit, Cleveland,
Toledo, Cincinnati, Columbus and elso-
whero. At ono time hIio brought suit
against tho Pnnhnndlo Railroad for
tho alleged loss of hor baggage. Hotel
keopors ovorywbero in the West know her,
and her description has been sent out iu
circulars from police offices many times,
with warnings from her victims to pooplo
on whom she was supposed to havo fraud
ulent intentions. None of her viotimH,
however, Room to have had the courage to
prosecute her in tho Courts, and she has
boon allowed to go on hor evil way uu
molested.
At tho oponing of tbo Forty-forth Con
gross she made her appearance in Wash
ington, living in extravagant stylo at a
prominent hotel, and cultivating the
oioty of confiding Congressmen. M
of those on whom she operated are well
known, but thoy have boon sufficiently
punished, aud do not need to have their
unfortunate experience exposed. Sho wqh
used in a variety of ways during tho first
session of tho last Congress by men who
had Hohomas to promote, and is said to
havo rouoived considerable money from
sovora* sources for her influence. Dur
ing the series of investigations whioh
were set on foot by the Democrats she
wan used to advantage as a detective, and
ir said to have been instrumental iu some
disclosures that were made.
Not satisfied with acting as a member
of the third estate, she appeared with the
most stupendous olaim that was ever
brought against the Government for
damages growiug out of the war. Be-
noni 8. Fuller, of Indiana, was hor spon
sor and introduced the bill for her relief.
Hor claim was so absurdly extravagant
and preposterous that it received no at
tention whatever except from a few Con
gressmen who desired to maintain her
good will for the sake of their own repu
tation.
We give a list of the items of property
she claimed to have lost during the war,
as they appear on her petition for relief;
just to show how bold a fraud this woman
is capable of oonoocting. Her oath ap
pears attached to the following :

This womau actually had the audaoity
to ask Congressmen to pans this claim. Day
after day she sued to sit in tbo Speaker's
room of the House of Representatives aud
hold levees, surrounded at times by doz
ens of respectable members, on whom she
would use her unusual powers of fascina
tion. Tears aud smiles, wit and pathos,
were ready at her command,and other per**
sonal oharms were displayed lavishly.
Nor did sho confine herself to the Speak
er’s room at tho Capitol. Her parlors at
the hotel were the resort of prominent
politicians, some the subjects aud
others the objects of Congros-
Hioual scheming. But after a timo hor in
discretions made her suspeoted, and her
intimates iu public life sought her less
openly. After having glntted themselves
with her fascinations, Congressmen would
avoid her, but sho pursued them to the
Capitol and became the bane of many a
statesman’s life. Many interesting soan-
dala might be related that oocured during
hor residence here, but I have no desire
to expose tbo weakness of the legislator.
Tho latter part of tho Winter sho became
so notorious that she was not allowed to
live at any of the hotels, and she took
private rooms and began a system of
blackmailing, fleecing many who had
been intimate with her oat of large sums
of money.
When Hiiminor came she went to Long
Branch and Capo May, and until her true
character became known was the center
of masculine attraction. Her dashing
bathing costume is said to havo fascinated
tho bachelor heart of Samuel J. Tilden,
and she was tho recipient of lavish favors
at hiH hands. If rumors oan be credited,
his acquaintance with tho adventuress was
an expensive luxury.
Last winter she remained here for a
short timo, but her appearance of respect
ability no longer served her as capital.
Her departure was a solid gratification to
several eminent men.
Her last escapade was at Cape May with
n married man, a merchant of wealth and
high social position in Philadelphia, who
deserted his family and associated with
her publicly there. His friends inter
fared, induced him to loave her and re
turn to his home aud business, aud she
wreakod her revenge by having him ar*.
rested rocontly for robbing her, so that
whon tho case oamo into court ho was ex
posed to public disgrace.
—At two o’clock yesterday morning two
men woro holding down a lamp post uoar
Duane streot, aud looking np at the sky.
Said one of them : “Jimmy, if youhain’t
seen them moons Mars yit, come right
boro and shut ono eye and wait till they
bob.”
—Professor Tice says that the failure
of ono or two of the weather predictions
led him to suspect the existence of other
moons, and now that tho satellites of Mars
havo been discovered bo will hit the
weather on the head every time.

THE STRIKE AT KIRVEN’S I
Desiring to redace my Isrge stook of
Dry Goods before replenishing for the

knocked thorn down so low that all can
secure great bargains. Will sell great
many Goods at New York cost, aud others
as low as any “cost” store. I mean what
I say, and will convince you that yonr
money will bay more here than elsewhere,
if you will take tbo trouble to call and
examine. My stook is fresh—no old
