SANCTIMoNlOUS STOUT.

ENAMoRED OF HIS HIRED MANS WIFE, A
WEALTHY STOCK DEALER TURNS BIS BACK
UPON CHURCH, HOME AND HONOR.
The st. Louis Times telegram from Jer-
SEVILLE, ILL.,, says: About a month ago a
well-appearing man, giving the name OF
Thomas Smith Turner, accompanied by a
woman whom he represented as his wife, and
two children, came to reside in Jerseyville.
Turner had money and engaged in the bust
ness of buying hogs. To-day James Stone,
sheriff of Putnam county, Ind, put in his
appearance and after consultation with City
Attorney Jackson, procured a warrant for
the arrest of Turner on charges of obtaining
some $4,000 by false pretenses in Indiana.
Turner was arrested and committed in de-
fault OF $1,000 bail, by Justice Cockrell, to
await the arrival of a requlsition. Sheriff
Stone gives the following statement: Tur-
ner, whose proper name Is Thomas Stout,
was prominent farmer and stock dealer of
Montgomery county, Ind, married man,
and the father of nine children. Becoming
enamored of the wife of man who worked
on his place, his present paramount,
STOUT ooNcocTED SCHEME
to run off with her and swindle his neigh
bors and church brethren, he being class
leader in the Methodist Church. Accord
ingly he purchased $4,000 worth OF cattle
from Darnsll & Bros. of Greencastle, repre-
senting that he had contracted for their sale
In Buffalo. Instead of shipping to Buffalo
he took the cattle to Indianapolis, shipped
from there by two railroads, receiving
5000 on each bill of lading. He then
telegraphed his parsmour to take the first
train to st. Louis, and he himself took
the train for that city. After time the pair
with the children came here together and
had taken up quarters as man and wife, re-
siding here until now. Col. Matson, OF
Greencastle, attorney for Darnall, is ex-
pected here Friday night with requisition
for Stout, who offers to refund all he has to
settle the matter. AS his funds amount to
about $1,000, his offered restitution will
have no effect, and he will return to his
home in Indiana disbonored forever. Stout
is about fifty years of age and appears to be
very sanctimonious.

JaIn2 is advancing with conmendable
rapid,uy. One OF the most remarkable incl
dents Of the recent social science congress in
Englaitd, was the reading, In the section for
interna .senal law, of very able paper, by a
young Japanese gentleman, Mr.. Rokuro
Hsra, on the consular courts in his native
country. The Japanese eagerly seek educa-
ton for their children. The dsimios. or
local artist oeracy. have Wed with each other
in establis hing schools in their provinces. In
which che ulistry and other sciences are
taught. The imperial government has added
q college for the higher education of the more
promising pupils of the primary schools, and
great numbers of private establishments
have been added. In the goverrment pre-
paratory schools languages are taught, to-
gether with the elements of engineering,
and naval and military studies are pursued,
the more I'D vsnced pupils being promoted at
half-yearly examinations to higher schools,
or to the Imperial College, in which it has
been decided that in future the English lam
guage only shall be used as the medium of
Instruction. ,rhe report of the Japanese
postmaster general for 1874 shows that DUR
ing that year nearly eighteen millions of
letters, of which nearly three hundred thou
sand were registered, passed through the
postoffice, besides 2, 629,64S newspapers and
nearly 81, 900 books and patterns.

RING DOWN THE CURTAIN.

THE LAST SCENE IN THE DRAMA MOTHER
DESCRIBING HER DAUGHTERS EXPERIENCE
ON THE STAGE.
The New York Sun of Wednesday says
that in a little back room, on the upper
door of AS Seventh avenue, there is now
living dying girl. Her cheeks are as pale
as the pillow on which they rest, and her
large brown eyes are unnaturally bright.
The room is as neat as care could make it,
and cheerful with flowers and fruit, the
gift of kind frien s. The sick girl is Jeanne
Byron. For three years past she has been
ballet girl at Booths Theater, but since last
July has been gradually growing weaker
and weaker with consumption. She was q
very pretty girl, little more than a child,
always merry and happy, and we'll liked by
all her associates. Disease has not destroyed
that beauty, but made 1t more delicate.
"Jesnie went on the stage three years ago."
said her mother, somewhat against my
will. But what could we do? We must
live, and my girl liked the theater. Ny old
est girl, Eva, went on the stage several years
ago. remember how Jeanie, then little
thing, was opposed to 1t. She wouldn't hear
OF her sisters doing such thing. but when
she got older she followed her example.
SHE is ONLY SIXTEEN NOW.
She was one of the regular company at
Booth's-uot a dancer, but one who took
part in the professions and the like. She
was the kings son in Macbeth" and one
Of the angels" in "King Henry Fifth" /
think that's when she got her cold. Those
angel dresses were perfectly awful. Why,
the girls were almost naked. On, it's hard
| life for young girls. My Oldest daughter,
who is at the Fifth Avenue Thester, only
gets S5 week. She could make more
money at the Bowery Tnester or at the
Olympic, where she has been offered speak
ing parts. Bus she won't 90 to those
theaters. She is a great worker. Why,
she knows almost all of Shakespeare now.
And yet," said Mrs. Byron wearily, "whst
good does 1t do?" She has no friends nor
money to advance her. "when Jeanne was
first taken ILL.," continued the mother, "Mr.

congress refuse to allow the repayment OF

and the apprehension of the guilty persons
and of the magnitude of the operations of

THEIR FORTUNES SEEM To BE BOUND TO-
GETHER BY SOME TENDER TIE.
The st. Louis special to the Chicago
Tribune of yesterday morning says that
Ben Butler arrived yesterday in behalf of
his client, Chief Clerk Avery. After hear
ing the substance OF the testimony in Nc
Donsld's case this evening, he said to q
friend, with solemn look of that cooked
eye: "This is q bad year on the upright
eousness.' Chief Clerk Avery also got to
town to-day, and has been closeted with
Mr.. Butler in consultation over his
case. Ben's plan of defense, IS de-
tailed to a friend, will be entirely different
from that of Judge Krum and other
attorneys of st. Louis, who have
been conducting the defense of the
whisky cases here. His policy will
be essentially aggressive not insulting the
intelligence of the jury by ignoring and
disputing the existence of a whisky ring, as
other attorneys have done, but by boldly
asserting that there was a monstrous ring
most dsmnable combination, organized by
official scoundrels and dishonorable dis
tillers for the purpose of

of its just dues-snd that, having been
caught ia the preparation of their felonious
acts, they endeavor to drag in others higher
in office and in the esteem of the people, so
they may have company in their disgrace
and infamy. Having admitted the whisky
ring, he will claim that his client is one of
those whose good name has been used to
shelter the rascals and thieves who have
been plundering the treasury. All the wit
nesses against Avery are either under in
dictment or have pleaded guilty, and
Ben expects with this powerful circum-
stance against them TO SO belabor and
browbeat them before the jury that the
credibility of their testimony will be entirely
destroyed. 1t is rumored that Butler will
take part in one or two other cases here.
Dan Voorhees, spent the day in the court
room observing the progress of the McDon-
aid case. 1t Is quite probable that he will
follow a like policy to that of Ben Butler in
defending the cases of Mckee and Mcguire.

that they were from Gen. Babcock, and that

Babcock las been sent for to testify in the

at the suggestion of Ben Butler, who
is O personal friend of Babcock, and
who wanted him summoned in order to give
