There was a detention of a few i. meats until < arria. s were, procur 'd, and then the party were quietly driven to the Ar lington hotel. Nothing noteworthy occurred on the^v ay from Albany. There were no crowds and but few stops. Thero was no de tention at Jersey City, except to change en- | gines and to switch the tram to the Penusyl- I v ania track. Mr. Cleveland and most of the party re- ’ tired before the train reached Jer/y City. He slept soundly aud rose early in excellent : health and spirits.

He failed to j find any such number as 512. There are no houses between 50u and 512. He cartel the ! vahse buck to the station and left jt in the baggage room. About half an hour later -iouiids us of a baby crying were hoard to ' ssue from the valise. Policemen Bradley pried the valise open and round that it contained, warmly clad and moaning in its sleep, a pr t.y gi . baby about a week j uld. Beside the chii.i hi a quantity of cloth- I ing and a nursing bottle lull of milk. The I »olice wag-hi was called >ad the waif taken • u.> the almshouse. No clue us to the identity M the patron of Expressman Gibbs has been obtained. Gibbs says he n<>w remembers that the ; stranger studious!; avoided going near anough to the street lamp to allow any one .< : i good look at his face. Just as the I . . t;am was . t . .i._- ;L»* station for New i Y i.i an unknown mail answering the im- i pc. set description given by Gibbs rushed throe h the station and arross the platform , to the last car on the train. He suc ceeded in catching it an<l swinging himself alioard. The presumption is that he had , come from New York on the early evening ■ train, and that he took the first train back. J The child had evidently been drugged to pre vent its making an outcry on its trip with . Gibbs to Elm street. The baby clothes iu I the valise were of the costliest, kind, but not I new The child, if it lives, will remain at the almshouse until it is two years old, wheu , it will I*4 taken to one of the orphan asylums ( or to the county home.

The Sawdust Arena. Parts, March 4.—M. Albert Menier inaug ! united at Neuilly, his private circus, now . ! christened Le Cirqne Alberti, one of the 1 most costly entertainments ever given in , Paris. The sal le de spectacle resembles the in-[ terior of a huge cathedral. The walls are i hung with the rarest specimens of Gobelins ! and Beauvais tapestry, representing the story of Sampson betrayed by Delilah. On 1 one side is a spacious ball room, adjoining; cozy oriental salons. From the salle de spec tacle is a wide corridor lined with Nouble rows of arbutus trees leading to the ring, ar ranged like the Cirque Dete in the Qhamps 1 Elyssee. The stables are paved with bright colored tiles, suggerdvo of th • miso en scene hippo drome in Theolora. Exotic plants and palm trees and rare and costly flowers are in every nook and corner The orchestra of ; . sixty musicians is concealed in a sort of hanging garden. The entire premises are I readiant with electric light. I Th jam . inn?.n ■ >. v iih a grand I assault d’armes by a dozen of the best fenc ing amateurs and maitres d’armesin France. M. Albert Menier then stepi>ed into the ring . with his trained horse Aladdin, a line chest nut gelding that courtesies and dances with miraculous intelligence. Six clowns, ro •railed from the bluest blood in France, i then put in an appearance and won territkJ applause by their skillful antics. M<ilia. De Marsy, reputed to be one of the prettiest young ladies in Paris, then came ■ forward with a trained gbat. The • enthusi- i ast.ic guests, however, seemed to forget all about the goat and were lost in admiration ■ of the ( harming Esmeralda, as she grace- '■ . fully posed under the searching rays of the • electric light A huge elephant next came , forward, under the guidance of another young lady, and maneuvered a gigantic velocipede. The elephant was succeeded by twenty ballet girls from the Eden t heater, who performed choice fiances from the Mes •ialini and the Cour d’Amour. The circus part of the entertainment ended at 1 a. hl, 1 and a grand ball followed. Among the in vited were all of the noted vivieurs and all : bhe pretty actresses of paris. At about 3 i i j’chxjk over tiOO guests sat down tx> aglorious mpper, worthy of the wildest imagination of i Rabelais. Financial Fears. ; London, March 4.—Financial circles in i :his city are greatly excited at the prospect if a conflict between England and Russia. ’ , When the market opened Lord Granville’s iltimatum was the solo topic of conversa tion. Values on the stock exchange in many < securities were effected by the startling as- ( ’ fieet which the eastern question has suddenly issumed. Consols declined three-quarters per cent. This remarkable fall, which is . looked upon as a political barometer, is re garded as in confirmation of the govern- I meat's determination to nip in the bud any attempt of Russia to obtain afo it-hold in ' Afganistan, and establish herself within I itriking distance of Ihdia. Gladstone** Condition. ! London, March 4.—Mr. Gladstone’s con -1 lition is much improved and his physicians <ay he passed a good night, anil express the belief that he will be well in a few days. !

After Assaulting a Lady and Imprisoned is ’ Vittited by Ills Victim. • Trenton, N. J., March 4.—The sheriff of | Passaic county will bring John Coles to the ( itate prison here. Coles is a tramp, and ac , juired the habit of going to the residence of . i Mrs. Eliza Crompton, at Passaic Bridge, for ‘ something to eat. ■ One day he took advantage of Mrs. Cromp- ■ • uon’s kindness and assaulted her. She was t quite badly injured. Coles was arrested and put in the county jail. The moment Mrs. i Crompton hoard the tramp was imprisoned, : she began to act strangely. i She went to the jail and told Coles she re- i gretted that she had had him imprisoned. ‘ Her husband could not stop her and she took . ! the tramp fruit and flowers. When Coles I was tried Mrs. Crompton sat in court con stantly. She followed the prisoner daily to his sell. The other day Coles was sentenced to two years in the tstate prison. Mrs. Cromp ton wept, an I followed Ihe tramp again to the cell, despite the jeers of the spectators. She has made Coles promise to write to her frequently, and has arranged to come here ! and visit him in prison at least ace a month. Mrs. Crompton does not seern to be insane,. . and her conduct is painfully inexplicable to her husband and friends. BIG LAND EXCITEMENT.

A Gentle, Long Suffering, I’urom plain in- Pat (*nt. Xew York, March 4 -Gon. Grant weu’« i to bed with the pleasant anticipat ion tha ho i would be able in the morning to r- mine l.i> literary labors. He had bad a more peaco i ful day than usual, and h.-ui b <.«>mnara ( tively free from pain, and bn I tn;.on more 1 food than he had been able to partake of | for some days past. Dr. Douglass, when h? left hA patient, was i able to confirm the above report given by the family. lie sa' 1 he thought it likely that the geu a! would bo able to get back to fne writing of his military memoirs, and n he had strength enough for it it would be beneficial to him, ■ inasmuch as it would give him an occupation that would tarn his attention away from his malady. The doctor ’ hat Gen. Grant is the most gentle, long suffering, and most uncomplaining patient he has ever had. “If Gen. Grant,” he said, “hasany satisfac tion in the reflection that misery loves com panionship, he may have it in a fact that I ' have learned, that the ox-k ing of Portugal is I suffering from the same disease, and in the i same place, with this difl’erence, tint the ex i king’s mouth is affected on the l<»ft side,.while the general’s trouble is on the right.” i As to the ultimate result , Dr. Douglass says i that cancer is an incurable disea.se. and the time as to its fatal termiuatioh cannot be I forecast.

He sent his son to town on an errand and then shaving’ off his beard of thirty years ami donning his best suit started out for the residence of his prospect ive daughter-in-law. He explained his dis satisfaction with his son’s want of energy and proposed to solve the matter by himself becoming her husband.

Horrible Orgies. i Toledo, 0., March 4—A horrible sensa ' tion has just come to tight in this city. A woman die : Friday last, and a “wake’’ fol lows! in which the watchers filled themselves with whisky, and had horrible orgies over the dead by standing the corpse in the comer of the room and rolling it over the floor, and committing other outrages and indignities of the most brutal character.

I 1 i ( Flyern on Fast Spinning | Wheels viit Sinuisand Brisk Brushes ’Mi|» Hi. |' of Applause—Unpre reiLi.i. 4 Speed Made. New Y<)r : .*’ ch 4.—The result of the' i first day of I >ng race ou rollers in Madi- I sou Squai warden was a revelation as to speed. All but live of the thirty-three start lers appeared like light waistod striplings.! ! When they dashed away at a five minute! 1 gate, old sp->r’sinon expected to see the lead ers slacken up within five miles, and half the ' number retire from the race before sundown, i But the slim leaders kept up their astonish- i ing gait hour after hour without showing ' i signs of unduo fat igue, leaving the heavier , built men far in the rear. I Frank Hart, who has grown somewhat I stout since iiis last foot race in Now York, ! i was among the first to lag behind. He re marked to his trainer, Frank Mt rritt: “I , would like to pull off thesi* skates and go in my shoes. I feel as if 1 hud wings on my i feet and can’t use them.” i iio rat a vhi h thoskaters glided around ; i the eighth of a mile track was that of a lim-! i ited express compart’d to a gravel train when : , contrasted with the best pedestrian time, j Rowell’s 150 miles in twenty-four hours 1 would be a snail’s pace alongside of Walton, i Maddoeks, Boy st, Donovan, Schock and others ou the track. So fast did the men j circle the cou’ so that, experienced scorers i were kept constantly on the alert to tally , laps correctly. If mistakes were made in the , records the diances are that the errors will ■ be against Ihr racers. | In the mam the men skated nearly erect : with easy and somewhat long strides, their arms swinging regularly and evenly. Occa sionly the monotony of motion was relieved by spirts among the leaders and other pairs who were close together in the race. Brisk brushes would raise ripples of applause, but | j th-* spectators were very charry of their I cheers. In the marvel 1 ms race the leaders i fail to arouse anything like enthusiasm. The roar of the rollers over the pine trade ns the | men swished around iu a living stream, led to the fancy that the skaters were in the ; rapids, out of which they < mid not turn,and > wi re doomed to skate on until they dropped | exhausted or de.ui in the current. i’he skater who inspired ie most confi-! deuce and plea ure was John R. Mayer, of | New York. Wlie • many miles behind the ; 1 ■brs he skated with such easy grace and l uniformity of motion a . to iitsure his keep ing on the true a 1 r the full six days, and at a rate that won! 1 carr ’ him to Chicago on a sb:-light track i dore the week expires, .'•layer is the fa o ite wi h the knowing ones. Another favorite and perfect artis', on the rollers is John Irish, o L icest *r, England. Ho will probably move forward as the race proceeds. The race between Walton and Maddoeks • during the entire twenty-four hours was i one of the most, desperate in the annals of spoi l. For hours they wore nearly on even ! terms. Walton could not afford to rest while j his rival wa- 'it his b-mls, and Maddoeks did ! his best to shadow Walton, hoping in au op- j opportune moment to gain the lead. In the I evening Walton began to pull away from I his rival, and had gone. 21'.) miles to Mud docks’ 211. 'Lie polo contest was the iiucsl exhibition of the kind aver seen here.
