At the YorkvIle Police Court yesterday morning a
man named George He'd es, very respectable look
ing man, was arragned, charged with the abduction
OF young girl sixteen years of age named Amelia
Collins. The girls father, Michael Collins AYERS In
h sworn statement that on Monday night the 18th
OF August, he left his residence In Eighty sixth
street. between First and Second avenues to attend
some business in Harlem. During his alb
senCe his daughter was inveiged and abducted
from home by the prisoner for the purposes of pros
ttutlOn since which time she mas not been seen by
him. On the 18TH day Of August the father met
Hedges and charged him with the abduction of his
daughter, but Hedges refused to inform him where
the girl was concealed. IL appeared further that
about two years ago, this young girl was Induced
to leave her home while her father was sick in hos.
pItal, and that til at occasion she was seduced.
he was almost positive, by the prisoner, who Is, or
has been q conductor on the Second avenue line
The accused maintained that inasmuch as the girl
was not OF chaste character when abducted by the
prisoner, alleged, there could have been no offence
committed OH the occasion referred to. The Court
decided otherwise, ana held that the minor age of
the girl made 1t crime OF the worst character and
II the prisoner was proved guilty Of it he would hold
him Notwithstanding all the statutes In the country
to the contrary. 1t was shown that the girl was in
the prisoners company from nine until twelve
O'Clock on the night OF the disappearance although
he brought two witnesses to show that he went
home to Mott Haven alone little after twelve
O'Clock. The Justice reserved his decision.

Metz and Sasrbruck Railroad, some eighteen
miles from Forbach, and about the same dis
lance from Metz. 1t is situated near the river
Med, between Fsulquemont and Romilly.
Here the railroad, which had been running east

The Poles, as is well known, sympsthize OPEN

London Times writes g Fsnciful and hasty as

France in the least, they expose themselves to
the resentment of the Germans, and at the same
time irrtate Russia by once more advertising

Speaking of the financial resources of France
and Prussia, the London Spectator says Both
powers are good for many months war, even at
the tremendous rate of expenditure involved.
There is certainly no doubt about France, in
spite of the chronic deficits and increasing debt
which have been characteristics Of the empire.
French finance has been dresdfully msmansged
and the people have heavy taxes to bear, from
which economy would have saved them but
when all is said, the hard fact remains that there
still is capacity in France TO bear hesvy sidi-
tional load The French revenue is elastic, and
few years natural increase will provide for
good deal more interest To put the an

years would nearly cover the annual interest Of
