Tbe publication of anew story by Miss Adeline Sergeant, entitled "A False Posi tion; The Story of a Mysterious Marriage,” will be bsgUn in tbe Morning News next Sunday, and in the Weekly News June 20. Miss Sergeant has written several stories of great power, and they are very popular. She is descended from an old Lincolnshire (England) family, and was born at Ashbourne, Derbyshire. She began to write when 8 years old, appeared in print when 13, and published a volume of vetse when 16 years of age. Her first success was with "Jacobi’s Wife,” which was accepted while she was traveling in Egypt. Subse quently the story was issued as a serial by Messrs. Tillotson & Son, and Miss Sergeant at once became a favor ite with the readers of newspaper fiction. Her forthcoming story will arouse the warmest enthusiasm. It opens with a mystery, develops by means of a love scene into a deeply absorbing domestic story, is lifted on a higher plane of interest by an nnexpected tragedy and the disappearance of a leading personage, aud continues its course through an infinite variety of scenes and incidents, treated in a graphic style, until tbe mystery and romance surrounding “A False Position” are thoroughly un raveled, and the novel terminates delight fully with the second generation of char acters. The reader will conclude with xeet the story he commenced with delight and expectancy. France is making a practical bid for American corn by reducing the tariff on that staple to an inviting degree. Quite a multitude of census office em ployes are turned adr.ft before their work is near complete by the sudden exhaustion of treasury funds, due to the reckless ex travagance of the last congress. At this rate that census will be comparatively worthless by the time it reaches the public. Texas purposes sending an enormous del egation of ladies as managers to the world’s fair at Chicago. Measured by the tize of the state the number may not ap pear too larg eto the state authorities. But they should bear in mind that the fair premises are not nearly so large as the great Lone Star state. Unique suicides appear to be altogether the rage in the region of crankdom. But the German who recently built an elaborate chest to lock himself in before hanging took a great deal mere trouble than the exigen cies of the case seem to call for. Hal he drunk a quart of boarding house coffee or •wallowed a cold cut of mince pie it would probably have proven just as effective and nobody would have been at all likely to in terfere with bis amusement. Treasurer Bardsley was cleared of one oh&rge at least in bis recent trial in Phila delphia. Careful inquiry conclusively shows that be was not guilty of perjury on his oath of office because he didn’t take any oath, and therefore did not even promise to oondnet the city’s affairs honestly. Nor did he trouble himself to do auything more than he promised. But that’s rather a heedless way of inducting anew treasurer into office. Apparently he had the full con sent of the other officials to do business pretty much at he pleased. Savannah Will be Benefited. The very general impression is that Sa vannah will be greatly benefited by the change which has taken place in the control of the Central railroad system, and those who are in a position to know the reasons which led to the change say very emphati cally that Savannah will be a great gainer. The way that Savannah will be benefited has been pointed out. It is this ; The in fluence of the Richmond and Danville, the Georgia Paoific and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, which heretofore has been rather against the Central,will now be in favor of it. By means of tho Georgia Pacific, which connects with Gould’s southwestern sys tem, an immense amount of western busi ness will be turned toward Savannah. It will be remembered that when Mr. Gould was here a few months ago he made a very thorough inspectiou of the Central’s termi nal facilities. His purpose was to satisfy himself whether tbe Central had the wharf room for handling a greatly iucreased amount of freight. He was satisfied—so well satisfied, in fact, that he said that the Central’s terminal facilities were worth $,’>,000,000. And it is well worth remem bering in this connection that for several months the work of increasing the Central’s wharf accommodations has been vigor ously prosecuted. This certainly lookß as if a very great increase of business was re garded as a certainty. A great increase of business means an in crease in the fleet of steamers of the Ooean Steamship Company. The number of ves sels is not now sufficient to meet at all sea sons of the year the demand upon the com pany. A daily line of steamers to New York, therefore, may be looked for confi dently in the near future. And it may be that a line of steamers to Europe is in con templation. If Mr. Gould succeeds in turning as muen business in this direction as it is expected he will such a line would pay, because Savannah would quickly be come the seaboard outlet for a very large portion of the west. It will be remembered that Mr. Gould recently refused to renew his connection with the Western Railway Tariff Associa tion. At the time of his refusal there was a great deal of speculation as to the cause of it The western paperj could not under stand his motive. Lately they have begun to wonder whether his refusal was not owing to a purpose to make Savannah the seaboard outlet for his system of roads, and it is highly probable that they have at last discovered the reason for his action. But the west will not object to a seaboard outlet at Savannah. Tbe west and south are gradually drawing closer together. This is so noticeable as to attraot general at tention and excite comment. And the closer the relations of the two sections the better it will be for both. They will con trol the politics of the country and shape its legislation. The south and west then will get what they need for the improvement of their rivers and harbors. Indeed, it is quite certain congress will be requested next winter to make an appropriation for Savannah harbor that will be sufficient to give Savannah a chan nel to the sea that will accommodate the largest ocean going ships. And if tbe in fluences back of the combined railroad sys tems which now have their seaboard outlet at Savannah are such as they are sup posed to be, the requeat will be granted. The outlook for Savannah’s futnre, there fore, is of the most promising kind. Lacey and Drew. The Keystone bank scandal of Philadel phia has not yet been fully explained. Postmaster General IVannmaker has made an explanation of his connection with the bank which appears to be satisfactory. Unless it is shown that he has kept some thing back, the public will hold him guilt less of any wrong done. But there is a discrepancy between the statements of Controller of the Currency Lacey and Bank Examiner Drew. The former says that ho did not receive notice of the bank's rotten condition until Jan. 24. The latter says that he mailed the notice Jan. 3. If the notice was sent on Jan. 3 why was it not received? Between that date and Jaa. 24 much of the looting of the bank was done by its president, Marsh, who is now a fugitive from justice, and others. There is apparently something kept back. The President has promised that there shall be a full investigation of the charges brought against the treasury department. Care should be taken that the investigation is thorough. The suffering depositors of the wrecked bank are in no mood to submit to having anybody whitewashed. They want all the facts, and are bound to have them. Pretty soon there will be a very vigorous aud beautiful fight in Pennsylvania be tween Senator Matt Quay and Politician Chris Magee, who have been savagely scowling at each other for some time. Manifestly Mr. Magee doesn’t intend that Mr. Quay shall have things all his own way in his scuffle for re-election. Both are pretty strong in “inflooenee,” and both are thorough politicians of the most unscru pulous sort. - So the fight will probably be worth watching. Up to this time Quay has always won. But Magee threatens to down him now. Asa banker the Prince of Wales is very little more of a success than George W. Delamater or the Keystone people. In faot, the wrecked Spring Garden institution is in a condition of opulent solvency com pared with the establishment lately con ducted by the prince. There is one marked difference, however. While the Philadel phia bankers have to "run for it” or get locked up the prince serenely stands by and sees his associates get impartially pun ished. Great thing to be a prince and wholly irresponsible. That was rather a clever ruse of the Es meralda's captain to get coal at Acapulco. Intimation that the Chilean government steamer Lynch would soon arrive and they would fight right in the harbor unless coal was furnished the Esmeralda to get outside very promptly brought the supply that no pecuniary inducements could previously procure. Clever strategist that com mander. Undoubtedly he will manage to take good care of the Esmeralda under all circumstances. With such men it’s no wonder the insurgents win. Carnage is again rampant in the streets of the Haytian capital, and people who are suspected of views inimical to the dominant government literally carry their lives in tbeir hands. So long as the Haytians do not molest Americans tbeir belligerent pro pensities are “none of our funeral.” But a country that is subject to such sudden vol canic outbreaks is not a pleasant neighbor ■or a safe country to visit or engage in business intercourse with. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1891. Moving Southward. One of the most notable establishments of Massachusetts, the South Boston Iron Works, is to be removed to Middleborough, Ky. It was forced out of Massachusetts because it could no longer compete success fully in that location with iron works in tbe south. And it will not be long before other man ufacturing establishments of tbe north will be moved to tbe south. Even in Pennsyl vania tbe iron manufacturing establish ments are feeling the effect of southern competition. The growth of tbe iron industry in the south is almost marvelous. And the reason is that iron can be mined and manufactured more cheaply in the south than elsewhere in this country. And where the iron is pro duced there eventually will be manufact ured tbe numerous artioles of which iron is the basis. Already iron and steel manu facturing plants that rival those in Pennsyl vania have been erected in Alabama and Tennessee. By the time tbe next census is taken the center of tbe iron and steal in dustry will not be in Pennsylvania but in Alabama And cotton manufacturing! Ia not the time near at hand when the north will have to yield to tbe south in so far as this industry is concerned ? Even now there are certain kinds of cotton fabrics manufactured in the south at less cost than they can be manu factured in the north, and cotton mills are springing up in all of the southern states. Scarcely a week passes that does not witness the organization of a oompany in some part of the south to build a cotton factory. One factory follows another. As the iron mills and cotton factories in the south in crease in number other kinds of factories will be established. It is safe to predict that before another quarter of a century the south will be as noted for her factories as she is for her agricultural products. Shrewd men of the north see what is com ing, and those of them who are interested in manufacturing are preparing for the ohange, either by moving their plants south or planning to do so. The Fight'for Stewart’s Millions. What a hard time Henry Hilton is having to bold on to the vast fortune that was left by the dry goods millionaire Stewart! He has been pestered with lawsuits for years, and It looks as if his lawyers would get a large share of tbe fortune if he lives a few years longer. He may be getting some en joyment out of it, but he has been subjected to a vast amount of annoyance and worry. Thus far he has been able to baffle the ef forts of the alleged heirs to obtain any of the money which Stewart left. He has all of it. and he will never give up a dollar of it to secure peace. The latest phase of the fight for it is the charge that there is a conspiracy to get the money. According to this charge a com pany was formed to prosecute suits against Hilton, and its capital stock was divided into 100 shares. Fifty of the shares were given to the alleged Stewart heirs, and the other fifty were divided among tbe at torneys and others who were members of the company. From this it will be seen that tbe alleged heirs were to get only half of what might be recovered. There is not much probability that Hlltion will be required to give up the estate or any part of it. He is able to employ the beet legal talent, and he has thus far been vic torious in all tbe legal battles. Only a few weeks ago a carefully prepared suit, in which Gen. Butler was odb of the counsel, was thrown out of court after a few min utes’ argument. But the amount of money Hilton is re quired to spend for lawyers, detectives and others who are helping him defend his wealth is very large. His income must be immense if it is sufficient to meet all the demands upon it. And if he is not a very strong man the worry he Is compelled to undergo will tend to shorten hiß life. There are times, perhaps, when he wonders whether a great fortune is such a desirable thing after all—particularly a fortune which others claim. New York is to have another morning paper. Col. John A. Cockerill, who, until recently, was the chief of the staff of the New York World, has purchased the plant of the Continent, and will make it the basis of a paper which will be known as the Morning Advertiser. It will be published in connection with the Commercial Adver tiser, an evening paper, which has had an existenoe of ninety-two years, and of which CoL Cockerill is also tbe editor and pro prietor. The Commercial Advertiser is a fine property, and it is safe to say that CoL Cockerill will make the Morning Adver tiser a profitable and Influential newspaper. There is a report that the New York Re corder has been purchased by Mr. George Turner, late business manager of the World, and Col. Charles H. Taylor, of the Boston Olobe. Chilean newspapers express very bitter resentment toward the United States be cause the Data was taken without allowing her to unload her cargo of arms. For that they roundly berate American indifference to the struggles of an oppressed people for independence. In tbeir passionate anger they forget that the United States naval officers bad no option in the matter. They merely obeyed the arbitrary mandate of tbe international neutrality laws, which forbid one country to allow the enemiee of on otber friendly power to be aided by its citi zens. Therefore if the Charleston took the Itata at all she had no alternative but to take everything she contained. By allow ing her to unload her arms the Charleston's commander would have directly besome a party to aiding tbe Chilean Insurgents. London people must be having a gar time of it paddling around in the slush, while the bus drivers sit upon tbe curb and laugh at them. But It isn’t the independent class that such a strike bears down upon. To them an extra fare or so doesn’t amount to much. It is the poor clerks, mechanics and shop girls, who have to travel miles to their work in all weather, for email pay, aud have only so much of their hard earnings laid aside for bus fare each week. They are the ones who suffer. They can’t afford cabs, and to be late means the loss of so much of their meager wages for lost time, lu order to try for a possible, but not probable, small ad vantage, these men inflict untold suffering upon many thousands of innooeut people. But they never think of that. Chinese thugs are apparently trying to even up the score against the Caucaasians who rejeot them as immigrants by murder ing the European residents of remote and isolated parts of tbe flowery kingdom. Nothing short of a wholesome broadside from a fleet of foreign warships will be likely to bring the Chinese grand mogul around to a realizing sense of the danger that lurks ia allowing Europeans to ha slaughtered within the confines of tho celestial empire.

Tba President in San Francisco. The town is filled with stories, says the San Francisco .Veins Letter, regarding the high and mighty personage from Indiana who recently sent a thrill through our 350,000 people by his gracious presence. A good one is told by Gen. Barnes, descriptive of his meeting with Benja min. "I was introduced to him by Mr. Mor row,” says Barnes. "It was rather a peculiar experience. Benny is one of those men who have the habit of keeping tbe ash on the end of their cigars as long as they csn. Maybe you've met them. They always make a fellow feel nervous, for you're always betting with yourself as to how long it will be be fore the cigar ash falls. When I met him he had one of those cigars. He came into the room with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his cigar. I was intro duced to him as having charge of the banquet. He pat out his hand and said; ’How do.’ I was looking at the ash on his cigar all the time, but I answered, ’How do,’ Then the first thing he wanted to know was if he could not make his speech as soon as he entered the banquet hall and then go away He did not care for a ban quet; it was always a bore; he never ate any thing, anyhow. I told him it would never do for him to make bis speech at the beginning and leave, as a number of our prominent citi zens had paid S2O each for the privilege of go ing home and telling tbeir wives and families that they had dined wilh the President of the United States. Then he asked if there would be other speeches, and at what hour he could getaway I told him the Postmaster General and the Secretary of Agriculture would apeak ‘O, well, they can wait, he said. ”1 sat beside him at the banquet. He asked what all the troub e over the wir.e was about, and I told him nearly all the wine men wauled their wine 6on the list. I asked him what wine he preferred, and he called for a foreigd brand, of which I ordered a quart bottle for film. I told the boy to fill up his glass overy time it got empty, as I was anxious to see just how far this old gentleman would go. Presently he unbent a little, and I must say he became rather confidential for a President of the United States. He pointed out| several mea around the table aud asked who they were. One face attracted him particu larly, and he asked who owned this physiog nomy, which he pronounced full of shrewdness and benevolence. ‘That.’ I said, ’Mr. President, is Lloyd Tevis, president of wells, Fargo and Co.'s bank and largely interested in that great company,’ 1 have not yet determined howto consider this selection by the President from the faces around him. Well, sir, it was the hardest two hours of entertaining a man I ever had. But the President is not such a bad fellow, after all. I hope he will caii again, and when lie does I shall be out of town.” The Wicked Drummer. "No one who has ever been a telegraph oper ator in a large hotel doubts the entire truthful ness of the old saying that ‘all men are liars,’ ” he remarked to the Chicago Mall as he finished sending a dispatch and added the receiver's check to it. "I wish you could see the sort of business that goes over my wire here day after day. It is enough to establish beyond a doubt tbe theory of the total depravity uf man. I ast summor a drummer stayed at this hotel for a couple of months, and every morning he received a dispatch ‘ from his wife in Rochester and answered it by a dispatch every night in which he gave a complete account of his doings during the day After this sort of telegraphic bombardment had been kept up for three or four weeks the fellow came into the office here one morning and handed me a S2O bill. ’l’m going up to Waukesha for a week,’ said he. ’and I want you to look after my business here. You under stand about how my affairs have b en runmag, I guess, and you can handle them just as well without me for a few days. Remember, I am hard at work here. Don’t let me stay out too late at night, you know, or do anything tnat a sober, industrious and devoted husband ought not to do,’ "Well, I became that Rochester woman's husband by proxy. Every morning I received a dispatch from her, and every evening 1 an swered it. I Bent the truant husband to church twice on Sunday, and permitted him to go to the theater twice during the week. Upon his return from Waukesha, he began sanding ama lory dispatches to a women at that point. One morning he handed in a dispatch to be sent in duplicate to his wife in Rochester and to a woman in Cincinnati. I noticed that the message ended,’Your own loving husband, Bert,' and immediately called his attention to the slip. ’Do you want the work ’’husband" to go to Cin cinnati also*’ I asked. ’O, yes,' he replied as he lighted a cigar; make it a double-header. If mv last week's work pans out w ell. I’ll soon give you a chance to save a little work by sending triple-headers.' ” An Attorney’s Successful Ruse. In a trial in the United States court where a young man had been indicted for passing a coun terfeit $lO bill, the counsel of the latter, C. A. Baldwin, objected to Gen. Strickland's course in endeavoring to prove by business men the fact that the bill in question was a counterfeit, says the Omaha Bee. hut to no purpose Finally, improving a favorable ohance. Mr. Baldwin sub stituted a good bill for tho counterfeit, which genuine mouey. Gen. Strickland then proved by three busieess men to be the rankest kind of counterfeit. Thereupon Mr. Baldwin vehe mently demanded that attention be given to his objections, and Judge Dundy insisted that the district attorney send out for a bank cashier and an expert. With great confidence Gen. Strickland handed the expert the bill—after es tablishing his business and his experience in handling money—and—and: “State to the jury whotherin your opinion the bill is good or bad.” "This is a good bill sir,” returned the wit ness. "What 1” shouted the attorney, “do you mean to say that bill is not a countrfeit ?’ "Yes sir; if you will bring it down to ther Omaha National Bank, we will give you the gold for it.” Then there was a scene, in the midst of which Mr. Baldwin managed to explain to the Court that he had changed bills without the knowledge of the District Attorney, and that, iu view of the fact that three good business men had testified that a genuine bill was a counterfeit, he thought considerable allowance should he made for nis client—an ignorant oonntry boy—ln mistaking a counterfeit for a good bill. The jury were evidently impressed with tbe idea, for they re turned a verdict of acquittal. She Had a Mother Once. It was a tender hearted American, says the San Francisco Examiner, who saved the mur dered Severa Cleneros from burial in a pauper’s grave. When he visited the undertaker’s where lay the bodies of the murderer and mur dered he was perceptibly under the influence of liquor. "Say. pard,” said he to Carl Schussei, “that gal died afore she wanted to, didn't she?” “Yes sir.'’ “And that feller there murdered her?" "So it is said.” “And ye’r giving him abig burial?” “His friends are." "Ye’r say the gal’s got to go to the Potter's field?" • I am afraid so.” "Where’s her mother?” “She has none.” “But she had one onc’t. and she's got to have a square deal and be buried rigid Here's S2O to get her somethin’ to wear what's fit to he planted in. Here's S2O to get a better coffin with, and here’s s’.o for a broken wheel of flow ers Let’s not have it said that old ’Frisco gives the murderer a bigger send off than that poor girl what he killed. Good-by. old pard." "What is your uame, please? This is an act of rare generosity.” "Have a drink, pard, but my name’s my own biz.” An Oriental Joke. The oriental races are not without a sense of humor, which is often of a very grim sort, says the Youth's Companion. A European traveler, who was visiting the court ofthe imam of Mus cat net long ago, relates the following: "I had heard that no ruler of Muscat for the last ICO years bad died a natural death, and was interested when, in our conversation, the imam himself introduced the matter of this extraor dinary fatality among the sovereigns of the country. ” Is it true*’ I ventured to ask. ’that no imam for 100 years has died in his bed!" ’“Certainly not,’said be,with a perfectly grave face. Let me see—four of them have died in bed.’ " ’And they were not assassinated, then?’ “ ‘Well,’ he said ’it is true that they were found under the mattress Instead of on top of it, but they unquestionably died in bed. ’ “They had been smothered by their heirs np parrantly,” Susie —O, mamma, I’ll never disobey you again. Mamma—Whv, Susie, what have you done?

Pup ii..' who learn "by ear," without thought as to the meaning of things, contrive to afford a good del of amuse ment to tbeir teachers. Recently a teacher in a grammar school asked one of her boys: “Wh*t is the meaning of ‘topaz?’ ” “A topaz," said the boy. “is where the tmiiee walk when they're drsiring a canid boat.”— | Exchange. ITEMS OF INTBRKST. Edmund Russell, who is teaching good man ners, form, Delsarte and other accomplishments in Chicago, says; "The Boston girl is too out landishly esthetic in her sweep; the New York girl is toe uppish in her form of recognition. The New York young lady says of her friend in Boston that the latter makes herself absurd by mentalizing her bow. while the Boston maiden thus describes the methods of her New York acquaintance: ‘Why. my dear, I do not like your bow. It is so suggestive of smartness of inioeriousness. You open your eyes and mouth and tip your bead back, and keep it there while you count 4uo; then you nod like a jack-in-the box.’ ” At an isolated point near Liberty, in Amite county, Mi isissippi, a murder was perpetrated iast week by probably the youngest criminal on record, a 3 year-old boy. The parents had left the house in charge of three children, one 5 years of age. one 3, and an infant only 8 months old. They went out in the field near the house to play. The oldest boy went to sleep, and the baby began to cry. The 3-year-old b>y tried to pacify it, but, failing to do so, became angry and picked up a piece of wood and struck the infant on the head, breaking its skull. Another blow broke its arm. It was dead when found by the parents, and was half buried in a strip of newiy plowed ground, in which the baby murderer was trying to conceal the body. Oub foreign visitors will come with singular notions of Chicago. A French newspaper pub lished at Nantes, in its issue of April 29, has given this amazing picture of Chicago, past and present: “It is situated at the foot of the falls of Niagara, and receives the waters of the great lakes. In no part of Europe will you find so great a city. Its boulevards are regular and as straight as its streets, which seem to have been ruled with a straight edge, and in it all railroadls have a terminal. One is almost frightened by the bight of its buildings, in which aii styles of architecture meet without confusion. About sixty years ago we first visited the falls of Niag ara, and our first stop was naturally at Chicago. Excellent hotels, very attractive people were there; and as we took a w alk along the banks of the ‘Father of Waters' w e were obliged contin ually to avoid meeting the companion of the descendants of the companions or St. Anthony (pigs) Now these noisy animals have their own quarter, where they are sold, and they no longer, by their squeals, disturb tho public peace." The maze in the Del Monte gardens in Monte rey. Cab. is so elaborate that visitors frequently get lost in it. "I shall not forget,” says a tour ist, “the exasperation of the wife of a promi nent United States senator, who determined to solve the intricacies of tbe maz-. She is elderly and inclined to be stout, and was warned that she mignt find it a difficult matter to get out of the maze She scouted the idea and marched in Then there was trouble. She was in there fully an hour before she could find the center of it, and, worse still, she could not find her way out. A young nephew of hers was in the center and tried to explain to his aunt how to get in. She finally lost ail patience and exclaimed, with heat, ’Don't talk to me any longer. I’ll find my way alone.’ She was finally escorted out, and. looking back at iha maze, said: ‘When J get east I’ll tell Mr. Huntington to have that nasty thing torn up. They liare no right to put such affairs in a place intended for pleasure. Gracious me! shall I ever reach the hotel? I am almost dead.’ And ell the way to tbe hotel she vowed vengeance against that maze and longed to have tbe sympathetic ear of the great railway millionaire.” The marriage of Miss Elaine Goodale and Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman will take place at noon, June 18, at the Church of the Ascension, Fifth avenue aDd Tenth street. New York. Eight years ego Miss Goodale, the elder cf the two child poets of the Berkshire hills, began her work on behalf of the Indiana, becoming a teacher in the Hampton Institute and later government inspectress of Indian schools, sta tioned at Pine Ridge. She first met Dr. Eastman, who is a Sioux Indian whose S sternal grandfather was a white man. at Hue -idge. Dr. Eastman was graduated from Dartmouth CXiliege, then studied medicine, and is now government physician at Pine Ridge. The wedding will be a quiet one. Miss Goodale’s bridesmaids will be her sisters Dora and Rose, and the best man and ushers will be classmates of Dr. Fastiran at Dartmouth Ad mission to the church will be by card. No re ception will follow tbe ceremony, but there will be a reunion of the most intimate friends of the family at the residence of the bride's father, Henry Goodalo. 400 West Fifty-seventh street. Dr. Eastman has six weeks' leave of absence, and at the expiration of that time he and his wife will return to Pine Ridge and take up their residence in the house now being built for them by the government. An amußino incident is reported from Paris as having occurred at the raoo meeting at A\iteuil last week. An Englishman, whose French must have been that of the publio schools, went to the Paris Mutual booth and asked for 900 francs’ worth of tickets of Papil lon Quartre. His pronunciation, however, being what is recorded above, was not suffi ciently understood by the clerk in charge. He understood that the individual wanted to back the horse whose name was number four on the list, us ho could make out a resemblance between the word quatre, meaning four, as the Englishman pronounced It and the sound lie, in common with other Parisians, give it. Acting, therefore, in accordance with th* idea, th clerk gave the Englishman ninety 10 frano tiokets on Jeanne la Fblie, smiling as he did so, for Jeanne, although fourth en the list, was perhaps the rankest outsider which had been entered. But with that blind luck, which often causes a man to stumble on something good, it happened that this error was the cause of the greatest good fortune that could have happened to the Englishman. I,a Foil*, to the surprise of everybody, and to the surprise and horror of the clerk, actually won the raoe, and the Eng iishman discovered the clerk’s mistake after ward when, looking at his ticket, he found that he had won 61,400 francs. Recently the Pennsylvania supreme court listened with evident interest tothe arguments in the application for a change of venue in the case of the Delamaters, charged with em bezzling funds deposited in the;r bank. Joshua Douglass of Meadville gave a brief history of the case, which led up to the application for a transfer of jurisdiction He gave a number of instances to show that the indignation against his clients in Crawford county would prevent a fair trial of the accused. George L. Davenport, representing the commonwealth, said he had no thirst for innocent blood, but wanted justice done. In his opinion, the defendants had not presented a case justifying a change of venue. Good faith had not been shown by the defend ants in the movement for" a trial in a county outside of that in which the offense was committed. Delay was wanted more than a change of venue, in the hope that it would enable them to escape punishment. As tbe state funds amounted to SIOO,OOO. which Treasurerlßoyer and bis sureties would never get, a trial in another comity than Crawford would likely not secure a more impartial hear ing, as every tax payer was interested in this loss He insisted that an unprejudiced trial of the case could be had iu Crawford county, and said if sufficient time had been allowed the affi davits of several thousand persons could have been secured to this effect. District Attorney Best and Mr. Roddy confirmed what Mr. Da venport had said concerning the absence of sufficient feeling to justify the declaration that thp defendants would be granted an impartial trial in Crawford county. George a Jen-s. rep resenting the Delamaters, said the court was asked to exercise a beneficial power. The fact that changes of venue bad generally resulted in the interest of the accused was proof that inno cence was protected by them. Die downfall of George W. Delamater. late republican candi date for governor, was pathetically described. He was wealthy, but now was in abject pov erty. His palatial residence had been ex changed for an ordinary two-story house. A persona! investigation had convinced Mr. Jenks that the sentiment in Meadville was very bitter against the Delamaters. especially George W. Mr. Jenks made a very plausible plea, and the court reserved decision. FLAVORING EXTRACTS. nit pßicrv M* DELICIOUS 5 Flavoring Extracts NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS.
