OUR LONDON NEWS
Loxpotf, October 12,—All the furniture,
household effects and private correspond
enw of the late Field Marshal Count von
Manteiiffcl, who for m many years ruled
over Alsace-Lorraine as its viceroy, and
who was one of the principal leaders of the
German army in the war of 1870, were put
up for sale by the creditors of the family
the other day, even including the numer¬
ous pictures and art treasures presented^
the field marshal as tokens of their regard
by the late emperors of Russia, Germany
and Austria, as well as by other sovereigns.
Government officials attended the sale for
the purpose of preventing the disposal of
any official documents which might have
remained among the paj>ers' of the general.
Rut the majority had already been seized
by the authorities some three years ago,
when Count Job von Mauteuffel, the re¬
probate son. had pledged aquanitv of them
to some Frankfort banker in return for a
loan of 80.000 marks. ’
—The poor old field marshal , w® was a
most charming and universally popular
man, the very soul of honor and chivalry,
was most unfortunate in his domestie af
fain*. His eldest son, Charles, was an ec¬
centric creature who quarreled with his
family, sj>cnt some time in the United
States, and finally returned home toilie in
a madhouse at Srhoeneberg. The sworn 1
son, Grant Edwin, a particular favorite of
the late emperor, was ol^Bged to resign his
commission of major fp the 1st guard reg
iment in consequence of his having in
dorsed some notes for his reprobate
Job, and having secured his transfer tojHte
colonial forces, is now endeavoring to re¬
trieve, if not the family fortunes, at any
rate the sadly tarnished family name, in the
wild of Africa.
Count Job, the spendthrift and drunkard
who to principally responsible for the fi¬
nancial ruin of his house, is now a fugitive
from his creditors, having left Berlin se¬
cretly with his wile (net* Countess Schrnet
tow,) anil is believed to lie concealed some¬
where in the south of France. I might
add that he is a fugntivc from justice, too,
for not only are several charges of fraud
hanging over hi* head, but he to likewise
credited with having placed for safe keep¬
ing in the Bank of England a number of
important state documents once in the pos¬
session 0 / hi* father and of which he pro¬
poses to make improper use in order to ob¬
tain funds. The removal from the country’
of state pajiers is a criminal offense in Ger¬
many, and to most severely punished. Ji
Count .Job ever gets caught by the Ger¬
man police it will in consequence go hard
with him. lie is a tall, coarse and dissi¬
pated man, the very antithesis iu every
re«iM-< t of his gallant and courtly father,
the field murshul.
Prince Constantine, duke of Sparta and
crown prince of Greece, has been receiving
a foretaste of the agreeable things tliat
await him when he is called upon to suc¬
ceed his father on the throne. The cable
dispatches the other day related liow a
numlier of officers of the Athens garrison—
officers of regiments constituting the pick
and flower of the Grecian army—had in¬
vaded the office* of the Aerojiolis news¬
paper which lias lately lieen voting the de¬
mands for certain military reforms, nota¬
bly for the reduction of the standing army,
how the*') officers after breaking in the
doors had proceeded to demolish everything
that they could find in the building, in¬
cluding presses, desks and the library;
while the reporters and editors who hap
|K>ned to lie on the premises were treated
so brutally ns to necessitate tlrtflr being
transferraod to a hospital. What the cable
dispatches, however, did not say was that
t(ie officers numbered some 150, that they
were in full uniform and that they were
attended by a large liotly of fully armed
non-commissioned officers and men belong¬
ing to their respective regiments, part of
whom formed a cordou across the street
leading to the newspaper offices so us to
prevent any interference on the part of the
public or tlie police, while the remainder
were equipped with axes and crowhars
for the accomplishment of the work of de¬
struction.
Prinec Constantino, with a decision and
euergy that tfode well lor the future, im
mediately caused the ringleaders, some
twenty-five or thirty officers, to be placed
under the strictest kind of arrest and by a
royal warrant, acting as regent in the ab
seaoe of his father the king, who to still at
Copenhagen, dismissed in disgrace from
the service, not only the colonels com¬
manding the three regiment* implicated in
the affair, but also the general In military
command of Athens, for remlssnesS of duty.
At first there was a marked disposition
to rebel against the crown prince, and for a
day or two it looked as 11 the very throne
was at stake. Not only were registers
opened at the Military <*lnb for the reception
of the signatures of those brother officers
who sympathised with the culprits, but
even the imputation of Athens Itself seemed
to take port with the delinquent*, sending
wagon loads of flowers and piles of con¬
gratulatory telegram* and letters to their
Iwrrsck* and to the dub. Nay, even the
minister of war showed signs of taking
aid. with the officers'
Indeed, the situation was critienl in the
extreme. But without the slightest hesita¬
tion, without even consultisg the king by
wire, the .»olW young duke, whom no

Big Firm in a Tangle.
“New York, Oct. 15.—On the
application of Walter Stanton of
the stock-brokerage firm of Coffin
& Stanton, 7 2 Broadway, Judge
Lacombe of the United States Cir¬
cuit court has appointed New¬
man Erb receiver of the firm’s as*
sets. This application for a re¬
ceiver-ship is, it is claimed, a result
of the failure of partners to agree.
It is claimed by Mr. Stanton that
the assets w ill be more than enough
to cover the liabilities. The liabil
ities are reported by Mr. Stanton
a JP $3,600,000. The assets consist
of stocks, bonds and credits, and it
is claimed that by the method ad¬
opted for the winding up of the
business of the firm loss and depre
ciation willbe prevented.
“Mr. Stanton in his petition
asked for the dissolution of the co¬
partnership and an accounting of
the dealings and transactions of the
firm from the beginning. The
business of the copartnership has
been dealing in state, municipal,
railroad, gas and water bonds.
The firm lias a foreign branch at 43
Threadncedle street, London, run
under tbe style of Coffin & Stanton,
limited. ,
“Receiver Erb made the folioW
ing statement:
* “I have been absent in Europe
mil summer, and only returned a
few days ago. I am therefore un¬
familiar with the details of the af¬
fairs of the fimr. This step, how -
ever, has no semblance of an as
signment^as tbe concern is sound,
and it is probable that one or the
other of the two partners will ulti¬
mately continue the buxines*. n 1
