"Three coons in a first-class car. Bring

This or a similar message was received

men had boarded tbe train at Opelika and

leaving its much room to the
ofl-color trio ss possible. The
white male passengers were deoidiy
averse to tho proceeding, bnt for some
reason did not interfere fariber than to lend
a telegram to Geneva.
When tbe train stopped st that point for
dinser about a dozen stout, able-bodied
Talbot county men went into tho car and
looked around for the trespassers. At one
end of tbe car sat three stylishly dressed
men, and theso were pointed ont os
the offenders. They were of each light
color that the Genovs party hesitated before
advancing upon them, bnt on being as
sured by tho pasiongora that they
belonged in the Jim Grow car, the leader of
tbe party fastened his hand in the collar of
the one nearest to him and in no uncertain
tones told him to "git,” Thecolored party
lost no time In complying with the request.

they reached tho second class car, the trio

Vienna, August 20.—Tho Czar has per
mitted Prince Alexander to proceed to Ger

Bucharest, August 20.— Prince Alexan
der crossed tho Austro-Russian frontier at
Walatchiska to-day.
The yacht which convoyed Alexander to
Reni has returned to Rahova, in charge of
tho mate, tho captain having decamped at
Reni. The crew is mado up mostly of lads
from tho Sofia military school.
Alexander’s new government rfcoonized.
S«»i ia, August 20, V single regiment of
troops, with tho assistance of a number of
military cadets, accomplished tho work of
deposing Prince Alexander. Before pro
ceeding against the Prince tho revolution
ists arrested the commander of the Prince's
regiment, which was at Slivnitza.
The provisional government, seeing that
the populace were violently loyal to tho do-
posed Prince, resigned ofllco aud liberated
tho commander, who at once brought his
regiment from Slivnitza and disarmed the
regiment which had assisted in deposing
tho Prince. After this the commander
placed under arrest the political leaders
who had managed the coup d'etat.
The powers have recognized tho
government formed by K&ravaloff
with him as premier, Storloff, as foreign
minister, Panofen, as minister or war, and
Gueshoff, as minister of finance. The pro-
visional gavprnm«nt has assured tho Porte
that tho movement in favor of Prince
Alexander is not inimiacal to Turkey, and
has asked the Porto to re-open the railway
between Constantinople and Philippopolls.
London, August 26.—The Britisn foreign
office has been informed that Prince Alex
ander is both safe and free, and is on
bis way to his home in Darmstadt.
Dispatches state that after being
conveyed out of Bulgaria tho Prince
was set free at Reni. It is believed
here that when Prince Alexander learns of
the counter-revolution in his favor, he will
at once return to 8ofia. His presence thero
will, it is believed, quell all disorder and

London, August 26.—Sir J. Ferguson,
mult r ton mn n. t.iry, stub ,» intbr lit.--.
of Commons this afternoon that lova!
troops had entered Sofia on Tuesday with
tho consent of the powers. The exact
whereabouts of Prince Alexander, the sec
retary said, was unknown to the British
government, but telegrams had been for
warded to him inviting him to return and
resume his rule in Bulgaria.
Thf KuhhLiu - . /-./< ‘I •itY'i'f had an in
terview with the forcigu secretary to-day.
He protested against the insulting language
of the English press, and rc-affirmed that
the Czar had no knowledge of the Bnlg&r-
i m cmi.spirury.
When Prince Alexander received tho
news of tbe success of his friends
in Bulgaria he was fleenly moved.
Ho telegraphed to his father that ho would
visit Darmstadt anyhow before returning to
Bulgaria.
Tho Russians at Reni treated Prince Alex
ander and his brother with indignity. They
refused to allow even a servant to ticoow-
pany Alexander, saying, “Your brother will
wait on you."
Prince Alexander, hearing of the project,
nipped it in the bud by another <•(»>//> tl rtat
and placing himself at tho head of the
insurrection stirred up in llouDjelia by the
Russians for purposes of their own, used it
to his own advantage. Proclaiming himself
rince of the newly United Bulgaria, be
loverly .avoided any pretext for immediate
Russian interference by renewing bin alle
giance, both on behalf of his old and of his
now dominions, to his suzerain, the Sultan,
whose true vassal hedeclared himself to be.
Iho Porte, together with Great Britain,
therefore supported him in tho mutter, and
after much opposition and vindictive hostil
ity of a personal kind displayed by Russia,
a conference of the great powers, assembled
at Constantinople for the purpose, accepted
tho new state of things as a fait accompli,
warning, however, Prince Alexander, grand
motherly fashion, “not to do it again.”
Tho adjoining Kingdom of Servia, jealous
and alarmed at this sudden aggrandizement
of Bulgaria, and supported by tho falla
cious promises of Austria, thereupon de
manded from Prince Alexander a portion of
bis territory in order to equalize the bal
ance of power between tho two countries.
On tho latter declining, war ensued. It
wns, howover, very speedily ended by
Prince Alexander driving the invading Ser
vian army out of Bulgarin in the most ig
nominious fashion. King Milan barely es
caped imprisonment and proving himself
gtfllty of great cowardice. The Russian in
trigues appear now to have Anally been
crowned with success, the new ministry
being composed of men notoriously devoted
to Russia.
Tne “Episode" alluded to by Pxinoo Bis
marck is, therefore, at an end, and for
Prince Alexander's sake it is to bo hoped
he has succeeded in Having something out
of tho civil list of $120,000 per annum ol-

Something About the Men Who 1« llecom-
log an International I»*ue.
When l’rinco Alexander, of Bxttenherg,
at that timeayoung captain in the Prussian
regiment of Lifo Guards, went in May
18?.), to announce to l’rinco Bismarck that
the national assembly of Bulgaria had just
elected him to become Hereditary l’rinco of
that country, and requested tbe great Chan
cellor to advise him what to do in tlic mat
ter, the latter, patting him on the hack,
counselled him to accept, adding, however,
with n peculiar smile, “Whatever happens,
it will uwsys have been a pleasant little
episode in your life.’’ Alexander thereupon
proceeded to Bulgaria and assumed tho
government of tho country on the 28th of
Jane, 187U.
Tho principality of Bulgaria wu crested
by tbe treaty of Berlin, sigDed July 13,1878.
It wu ordered by article 1 of the tresty that
Bulgaria should bs "constituted an auton
omous tributary princlpa’ity und.-r the
suzerainty of his Imperial Malesty, the Sul
tan.” Article 3 ordered, “The l’rinco of
Bulgaria shall be freely elected by tho popu
lation and confirmed by the Sublime Forte,
with the consent of the powers. No mem
ber of noy of the reigning houses of the
great European power, can bs elected
l’rinco of Bulgaria." Prince Alexander ful
filled the hst mentioned requirement. He
is the eon by a morganatic marriage of
Prince Alexander of Hesse, the brother of
the late Em[reu of Russia. The fact of his
being selected wu due to the high favor in
which both he and bis brother stood with
the late Czar.
Tha young man, howevar, fond it sbM>
lately impo-stble to govern the country
according to the constitntion elaborated by
the Russian l'rinee Dondonroff-Korsakntl,
which wu totally unsuited for so newly
Hedg'd s nation, but moreover placed the
whole power in tk^urada of tbe Russian
diplomatic envoy st Sofia. Frequent quar
rels occurred between the latter and the
Prince, who resented the perpetual inter
ference. and tn 1881, a few months after
the death of his kind friend and patron, the
late Czar, he imitated the example of Na
poleon III. and made hla first eonp il'ilal.
Tho constitution wu suspended, and tho
Prince invested himself with extraordinary
legislative powers for a period of seven years.
Naturally the new Cstr, who hu never been
partial to Prince Alexander, wu furious
and instructed the Russian officials in the
Bulgarian aervioe to take their orders di
rectly from the Russian envoy. As both
the minister of war and the minister of
justice Were Russian generals,and as, more
over, all the superior officers in the Bulga
rian army belonged to the ume nationality,
this oould not be tolerated, more tsiccislly
u the officers in soma eases felt them
selves encouraged to exceed the instruc
tions they had received on the subject.
I’rinos Alexander put an end to the mat
ter by dismiuiog the whole of the Rus
sians in the Bulgarian service, replacing
them by native, and by Germans. As soon
os he ha t got rid of them be divested him
self of the extraordinary powers which

A Key West Merchant/*
Hunko Men,
New York Times.
Jamea R. Curry, a dry goods merchant of
Key West, Flo., came to this city throe
weekt* ago to purchaso goods. He stAid at
a hotel m Fulton Btreet and went regularly
every evening to u prayer meeting in the
John Stit t t Mfth.xiiht Church. At 11
o’clock yesterday morning he was bargain
ing for a few peached at a stand at tho cor
ner of Fulton and Water streets, when a
respectably dressed man approached, urn-
took him for a m tn named Brown, of
Newark, found out liia rcnl nnmo and ad
dress, apologized, and wont liix way. A
minuto later, on tho samo spot, while Mr.
Curry was eating ono of the peaches that
he had bonght> another manhaltea in front
of him, surveyed him from head to foot in
pleaded surprise, and shook him cordially
uy the hand.
“Why, my old frioud Curry,” ho said,
“how long have you been in tho citj?” A
touch of tho pU-ftturo which ho apparently
telt was rellectod in tho Southerner’s face,
hut Mr. Curry was obliged to apologize for
his lack of memory.
“What! don’t you know my brother’s
son, Georgo Allen, tho banker, of Koy
West!" exclaimed bis new-found friend.
All doubts being thus removed Mr. Curry
went with his friend Allen to No. 21 Coun
ties slip, which is a restaurant aud barroom.
Allen ;■ i •:■•!!! th*.* propriftor h hatchet con
taining dry goods samples and tho two sat
down to examine them. Mr. Allen offered
Ins friend some excellent bargains, and at
length asked: “Have you got any monoj?"
Curry pulled out $00 in greenbacka
and said that ho had moro at his hotel.
Just then another man rushed in,
threw down a package of bogus green
backs of the pretended valuo of $1,000, aud
offered to play a game of cards with any
man to that amount. Curry explained
that ho W06 opposed to gambling in prin
ciple, on which Alien snatched nis money
and ran, followed by tho other man.
Curry tried to follow, but his ban Is were
held tightly from behind by n man who
camo in from the restaurant, and who
afterward gave his name as James Dillon,
No. 21 Coeuties-hlip. Curry, although an
elderly man, D tall and powerfully built,
but lie struggled in vain to get away until
tho thieve.' had disappeared. Dillon was
afterward arrested, aud the rnouoy found

A lam Forc-paugb, Jr, with belief that he

will not only make him famous, hut present
an unrival, d cird for hu father's great rail
road show. It h iked ont ut Niagara Palls
last evening that a horse wu.i to wulk a
tight wire over the falls within a week or
two. This afternoon a correspondent of
the Sun interviewed Thomas II Davis, one
of the managers of tho show, who said:
“Ilia tne that Bloadin, Adam Fore-

threo inch steel cable serosa, either on tho
1 ru.k of, ”T a little b.-l'tW tho falls. Tho
wire will have to bo w rapped with cotton
cord, so that Blondin’s rubber sho* s will

Jr., bought near West Chester, l'a., threo
years ago. He was four years old huvt
spring. He is fourteen and a half hands
high, is compactly built, and weighs 800
pounds. Aduui began training him at
Philadelphia early last fall to w’alk the
rope. At first the rope was placed only
two; feet from the ground, hu t beforo
circus started out he could do a two-
and-s-hslf-iuch rope, thirty feet long and
twenty from the ground. A goes osek*
ward ss well as forward, and has never yet
bads fall He has no fear whatever’of
falling, and I don't think there is any
doubt but that he will go over tho fulls all
right on a still day. He wears a patent
rubber shoe, sod U very corefal ami sum-
footed. It ii easier for s horso to w alk a
rope thin s lean after be knows how, for
be has more legs to balance himself w iih.
Animals are not credited

and tractable . ipohition. I don't think he
will be afraid at all, but if Le hhould he.
Leslie, who does t: d wtonand turns
