Paris, May 30.—The Paris Telegraph
to-day publishes a long article in which it
endeavors to prove that the late Victor
Hugo bad long been insane. The Paris
• police officials have decided lo prohibit the
carrying of red flags by participants in the
funeral procession of the di ceased noveliston

flag in spite of the police.

FATAL JEALOUSY.
Brutal Murder of a Successful Rival.
Huntingdon, Pa., May 30—The wildest
excitement was caused in the town of War
rior’s Mark, this county, last night by the
brutal murder of James Irwin, foreman of
the Shoenberger Mines Railroad, and one of
the most popular young citizens of the city.
A rivalry for the aftections of Miss Alice
Holmes, daughter of the Rev. J. L. Holmes,
of the Presbyterian Church, has long exist
i ed between Irwin and John Laporte, son of
Cou ny Judge Laporte. On frequent ocas
ious Laporte, exasperated by the preference
shown to Irwin by Miss Holmes,
b has attacked Irwin, and threatened to kill
him. About 8 o’clock last night the men
1- met, both being under the influence of li-
. quor, and a quarrel ensued. Shortly after
I. - this, Irwin’s body was found lying in an al-
I ley dead, his throat cut from ear to ear, and
his face mashed into an unrecognizible
I mass. A large stone was found near by
I covered with clotted blood and hair. Li-
5 porte gave himielf up and is confined in
J the murderer’s cell in the jail. Miss
Holmes is almost frenzied with griefover
the tragic death of her lover.
THE CLUVERIUS TRIAL.
Yesterday’s Proceedings.
Richmond, May 30—Vary little testi-
was taken in the Cluverius trial this
morning, except in the way of rebutting the
evidence of the defense in relation to the

record in relation to letters found in Lil
ian’s trunk showing that between December
1, 1884, and March 1, 1885, the deceased

responded, their letters being of a loving
character. Emmett Williams asserts that
he considered the correspondence all in fun
and believes that Lilian meant in the same
way.
The counsel in the case this evening sub
mitted their instructions for the inspection
of Judge Atkins. He took them and will
consider them to-morrow and will let counsel
hear from him Monday. Only one or two
witnesses were placed on the stand this after

> THE ANGLO-RUSSIAN TROUBLES.
Cause of the Delay in the Negotiations,
j London, May 30.—A dispatch from St.
f Petersburg says that the acceptance by
I Russia of England’s counter proposals for
1 the settlement of the Russo-Afghan frontier
w dispute and the cession of both Manne link
I and Zulfikar to Afghanistan is due wh. L.v
i to the stand taken by the Czar It is stated
M that at the council held to consider the pro-
posals, the Czar insisted that Manuchak and
■ Zulfikar be ceded to Afghanistan, giving as
j a reason that such concession would
* strengthen the Liberals and prevent a Tory
success in the parliamentary elections in
■ England in November. The Czar, it is
6 asserted, contended that a Tory success in
K the coming elections could only be viewed
■ as a misfortune, and anything but favorable
K to a continuance of amicable relations with
i Russia.

Apaches, have been brought in They are
all horribly mutilated. Colonel Phillips’
daughter bad been hanged up alive with a
meat hook stuck through the back of her
head. Mrs. Phillips’ eyes were g >hged out.
Her ears and breas's were cut off and she

OLD WORLD ITEMS.
A Parnellite Tribute to Victor Hugo-
Literary Notes —Gladstone Cuts Down
a Tree—The Salvation Life Guards.
London, May 30. —The Parriellites tribute
for Victor Hugo’s funeral is a gigantic sham
ro k crown. Many hundreds of distinguish
ed Londoners leave to-day to attend the cere
monies. Mr. Sampson Law, the English
publisher of Victor Hugo’s works reports an
immense demand for them. Thousands of
sightseers also are going to Paris.
Monday next will be pu.led down the
publishing bouse of Griffiths, Farrar & Co.,
opposite St. Paul. The firm is 160 years
oid, and published for Dr. Samuel Johnson,
Goldsmith and others. The building is well
known to American tourists.
The artificial poetic sensation of the day
is the first full translation of Sappho’s frag
ments which have inspired variously Byron,
Moore, Swinburn, and even Gladstone in
his Sapphic love ode that the Weekly
Academy reproduces to-day. Apropos of
Mr. Gladstone, yesterday afternoon, in order
(o show he was not so feeble as the reports
made him, he felled a hollytree, but it took
him an hour to do it. ■
This morning the Salvation Life Guard
began in South London a march of 100
miles. There are 170 males in line be
tween the ages of 15 and 30 years. Their
uniform consists of red jackets and blue
trowsers or gowns. All are in jack boots
and white hemlets. The police are going
to stop them at Romford on the ground of
breach of the peace. It is expected that
their antics on the route will be grossly
blasphemous
UNWORTHY RECOMMENDATIONS.
How Unscrupulous Congressmen Seek to
Impose on the Administration.
New York, May 30.—The Sun’s Wash
ington special contains some remarkable
charges of attempts by unscrupulous prli
ticians to force unwor.hy appointments
upon the President and heads of depart
ments. It says that Attorney General
Garland was nearly entrapped recently into
appointing to office a man for whose arrest
as a horse thief he had offered a reward
while Governor of Arkansas. Secretary
Manning, it is fbo stated, had actually
mailed a commission to a man recommend
ed by several Congressmen before he learn
ed that the man was under indictment for
a serious offense. He telegraphed a
demand.for a resignation. An application
for an impor ant position in the Railway
Mail Service is pending before Postmaster
General Vilas, which beais the indorse
ment of Congressmen, Judges and business
men of Ohio. The man, says the Sun’s cor
respondent, is a defaulter, and known as such
to tl e men who recommended him. An
United States Senator was confronted in
-ecretary Manning’s office the other day by
a charge that the man he was urging for an
internal revenue appointment was a con
firmed drunkard. He coolly confessed that
the charge was true, and recommended
another man who proves to be under in
dictment.
CARDINAL McCABE’S SUCCESSOR.
Father Walsh's Positively Announced as
Selec ed.
Dublin, May 30. —The Freeman’s Jour
nal in its issue of to-day contains an article
in which it states in the most positive terms
that the Pope has decided tn appoint the
Rev. L. William Walsh, President of May
nooth College as Archbishop of Dublin and
successor to the late Cardinal McCabe. The
paper further declares that it has the best of
authority for asserting that the Pope has not
seen Mr’ Errington, the reputed semi official
representative of Great Britain to the Papal
Court for over a year, and that His Holiness
is determined to have no further dealings
with that official.

were at half-mast and private decorations
were profuse. The Militia and Grand

Hill.
New York, May 30. —Decoration Day is
being celebrated here with appropriate cere
monies. Various Grand Army Posts started
early to the various suburban cemeteries and
decorated the graves of their dead comrades.
The weather was threatening all the morn
ing, and at noon a drizzling rain set in, which
still continues. The feature of the days was the
parade of the Grand Army Posts headed by
several of the crack regiments of the State's
militia Tne procession formed as early as
8.30 o’clock at Eighty-second street and
Fifth avenue, the various divisions filling
tbe side streets between Fourth and Sixth
avenues as far north as Fifiy-eighth street.

and with national music the various divis
ions of the Grand Army of the Republic
swung into line and marched down Fifth
avenue to Fourteenth street, through Four
teenth street and around Union square and
down Broadway to Eighth g reet. At the

viewed by President Cleveland as it passed
the grand stand. The President was
surrounded by the members of his
Cabinet, General Phil Sheiridan and
and staff, Major General Hancock and staff
and Mayor Grace. While passing the Far
ragut, Worth, Seward, Lincoln, Washington
and Lafayette monuments, located in Madi
son and Union Square Parks, the soldiers
uncovered and drooped the colors, amid the
roll of muffled drums. The procession was
dismissed at Eighth street, where the Grand
Army Post went by the nearest route to the
place selected by them for holding their
memorial services. The statues of Washing
ton and Lincoln, Lafayette and Seward were
handsomely decorated with flowers.
Washington, May 30.—The day devoted
to the decoration of the graves of those who
sacrificed their lives in the late war, was ob
served in this city with ceremonies appropriate
to the occasion and in a manner demonstrat
ing that interest is not abating in the beau
tiful memorial customs and significance of
the day, and that unfavorable weather is not
a sufficient drawback to overcome the zeal
and patriotism of those who delight to honor
the dead, and strew flowers upon the graves
of those whose lives were lost in the service
of the Union.
By executive order the government de
partments and tbe printing office were
closed; by order of Secretary Whitney work
was suspended at the Navy Yard, and by
order of the District Commissioners the
local goverumect offices were closed, while
the schools the banks and most of tbe busi
ness houses observed the day by closing their
d<o. s. Flags at half mast floated from the
public and many of the private buildings.
The city generally presented an unusual
holiday a; pearance. There was a fair at
tendance at each of the cemeteries, and
along the route of the procession, despite
the bad weather. The work of decorating
the soldiers graves was carried on as usual
under the supervision of the posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic, aided by
private individuals, friends and relatives of
the dead sclliers and by the children of the
public schools, whose libeial contributions
of flowers lent much to the success of the
ceremonies.
Chicago, May 30.—Notwithstanding the
fact that the day opened with a drizzling
rain and with a decidedly chilly and foggy
atmosphere, the observance of Decoration
Day in Chicago was on a more extensive
scale than for many years. At Blooming
ton General Logan delivered a memorial
address, and large throngs from the country
poured into the city to participate in the
exercises.

Day was generally observed here to-day. A
grand parade of the Grand Army of the
Republic and imposing memorial exercises
took pl ice at Spring Grove cemetery.
New Orleans, May 30.—The graves of
the Federal dead, buried on the field of Chal
mette, were decorated to-day under the su
pervision of the Grand Army Posts, assisted
by the Continental Guards. The Association
of the Army of the Tennessee, the Army of
Northern Virginia and the Mexican Veteran
Confederate Association presented a large
number of floral tributes. A rain storm came
up at 1:30 o’clock and marred the ceremo
nies considerably. The cemetery is on the
field where Jackson won his famous victory
and contains the graves of fifteen thousand
soldiers.
Boston, Mass., Mav 30. —Departs from
all points of New England, snow that
Decoration Day has been more generally

Charged With Murdering His Antagonist.
Paris, May 30.—At Doudy, in the north
of France, the duelist DeKeyne, is arraign
ed under accusation of having during a duel
which was fought with rapiers, caught the
sword of his adversary, M. Chapres, in his
left hand by the blade and holding it, while
he killed M. Chapres with, his
own rapier. The surgeon who was called
to the witness stand testified that DeKey
nel’s left hand was badly cut tvhere he had
grasped Chapres’ sword. Fencing experts
are giving their opinions of the case, and
the trial bids fair to be a most interesting
one.

HAPPENINGS IN THE CITY AND
VICINITY-
An Interesting Cotton Case Grand
Success of the Artesian Weil Ex
periment at Tybee—Various Pic
nics and Excursions Seri us
Stabbing Affray in Yama
craw—Minor Matters of
More or Less Interest.
On Friday last another interesting suit was
commenced in the City Court involving a
heavy loss in cotton futures. The facts re
lating to the case, as adduced on evidence
in the trial, are as follows:
B. R. Smith & Co., of New York, sued
Mr. Charles M. Cunningham, of Savannah,
on a due bill or written acknowledgment of
indebtedness, amounting to something over
812,000, as the amount due on settlement of
accounts between them, arising out of transac
tions in cotton futures in 1879, in the city of
New York, in which B. R. Smith & Co.
were the brokers for Mr. Cunningham. The
latter’s defence was that being about to leave
New York for a few days, he informed B. R.
Smith & Co. that Mr. Marmaduke Hamilton
would look after his interests during his
absence, and was authorized to act for him,
and that they should do as Mr. Hamilton
directed; that a day or two after
his departure from New York
Williams Birnie & Co. failed, and
cotton went up some seventy points; that
Mr. Hamilton called on Smith & Co. and
advised them to sell Mr. Cunningham’s in
terest, giving as his reason that the sudden
rise in price ought to be taken advantage of.
Smith & Co. declined to sell after being so
advised and by such failure to sell Mr. Cun
ningham sustained a loss of about $33,000
profits and the contracts were afterward
closed out at an actual loss of over $20,000.
Mr. Cunningham further claimed that he
did not know that Mr. Hamilton had ad
vised Ihe sale of the futures at the time he
signed the due bill, nor for nearly two years
afterwards, when in talking over the matter
with him he learned that B. R. Smith & Co.
had been advised to sell and had refused to
do so. He further claimed that he had been
deceived by B. R. Smith & Co., who had
represented to him soon after the loss occurr
ed that Mr Hamilton had not attended to
Mr. Cunningham’s interests, but had neglect
ed it, and as the matter could
not be helped, and Mr. Hamilton was sensi
tive about it, Smith did not wish that any
thing should be said to tbe former about the
matter. Mr. Cunningham further claimed
that when he learned the truth of the mat
ter from Mr. Hamilton, B. R. Smith & Co ,
had failed, and it was useless to sue them
for his loss. Now, B. R. Smith & Co.,
claimed that they never violated any instruc
tions of Mr. Cunningham’s, and insisted on
the payment of the due bill. The trial of
the suit was commenced on Friday morning,
and a jury selected. The case was ably pre
eented by Messrs Denmark & Adams for
tbe plaintiffs, and H. C. Cunningham, Esq ,
and J. R Saussy, Eq, for the defendant. It
was given to the jury in the afternoon and
that body had it under consideration all
night. At 10 o’clock yesterday morning
they came into court and declared their ina
bility to agree. Ajuror was withdrawn and
a mistrial declared. Tbe jury had stood
all kinds of ways, but latterly were eleven
to one for defendant.

A GREAT TKItSH'H,
Success of the Artesian Well at Tybee.
The enterprise of Capt. D. G. Purse, in
having an artesian well bored at Tybee, is
deserving of all commendation, and general
satisfaction is expressed at the magnificent
success that has attended the experiment.
The well is sunk in the immediate vicinity
of the hotel, and at a depth of 247 feet, we
understand there is a flow of ten feet above
the surface. The water is clear and spark
