THE HEBREWS.
Is 1t the Intention of the Gar to Re-Estab-
lish Jewish Kingdom

Washington Cor. New York Graphic.l
There is curious story afoat here in
the circles which have access to diplo-
matte secrets that the movement of Rus
STA on Armenia and Southeastern Asiatic
Turkey is somehow mixed up with
George Eliot's story of "Daniel De-
ronda."
1t will be remembered that Daniel
Deronda's scheme, first suggested by
the dying Jew, Mordecai, was the pur-
chase of Palestine and the restoration of
the Jews to their old home. 1t is said
here that if war should break out it is
the intention of Russia to march di-
rectly to Palestine with q double pur-
pose First, to outfiank the Turkish do
minions in Asia and, second, to gain
access to the Mediterranean and the
harbors on the coast of Asia Minor. 1t
is also asserted that in case Russia should
get possession of the Holy Land, it pro
poses to erect Jewish nationality upon
the payment by the rich Jews of the
world of sufficient sum to indemnify
Russia for the cost of the war.
AS the Jews are the great bankers of
the world, and as it has long been the
dream OF the most lmpresslble and aspr-
ing among them to egain occupy Judea,
and as George Eliot and her husband are
known to be intimate with leading Jew
ish families, it is believed that she was
induced to put this Jewish scheme of
Mordecai and Deronda into novel, so
as to prepare the public for what was
likely to take place.
Charles Bradlaugh, when in this
country, communicated to the Graphic
and other papers the fact that secret So
cieties were at work fomenting trouble
in the East between Turkey and Russia,
and, if this latest rumor Is true, it will
account for the presence of the immense
Russian army on the borders of Armenia,
and point to the possibility of the recon
stitution of the Empire of David and
Solomon under Russian auspices.

they will be taught seamanship and taken

at Hawthorn, N. j., the engine and tender

pistol, attached by wire to the brass works Of
a clock, was 30 arranged that when the hands
reached the figure II on the dial the pistol was
discharged. The charge was fred into some

"For some time past the Cas- Avenue City
railway has been endeavoriDg to obtain the
right to extend it's line from the postofice to
the Central depot. AZ this would DO parallel
and competing road with the old jefferson
Air Line, the latter have resisted this measure
at every step. Two weeks ago, however, the
Council passed the necessary enabling ordi-
nance for the extension, and, Mayor Lewis be-
ing temporarily absent from the city,
1t was approved by acting Mayor
Hough. It is claimed thst the Mayor
Is hostile to the movement. and would
have vetoed it, and that he returned in time to
have done so had not Heugh forestalled his
action. On some technical grounds the lessees
OF the old line, acting through property
owner on Larsed street obtained an injunc-
ton yesterday afternoon i'll the Supreme Court
against the proposed extension. The Cass
avenue officers, however, succeeded in
eveding service yesterday, and prompt.
ly at midnight commenced with gang
Of 200 mon TO tear up the Larntd street
pavement, and haul ties and rails TO the spot.
This morning news OF this evasion OF legal
proceedings spread throughout the city, and
thousands of people have watched the rapid
progress of track-laying. This afternoon the
hostile interests assumed the offensive, and
three heavy trucks laden with employees Of the
old line were driven into the excavated portion
OF the street and stopped there, blocking up all
operations. This proceeding called together
an immense crowd, and a riot seemed immi-
nent. The police were summoned, however,
before any blows were struck, and they dis
| persed the crowd made some arrests, and
drove the truck from the street. There was a
lull in the track-lsying for some hours after
this, but about o'clock work was resumed,
and undoubtedly the entire extension will be
completed and q car run over it by the expira

the other eide have taken steps to call upon
Judge Cochrane immediately after midnight

of this road until further hearing. No local

How He Got the Idea.

DR.. LIE Moyne, the enthusiast, who
has built cremation furnace near Wash
ington, Pa, and dedicated it to the poor,
caught the idea when he was on the
stump during political canvass. While
the campaign which resulted in the cleo
ton of Buchanan to the Presidency was
in progress, DR.. LIE Moyne and number
of friends were poisoned by meals eaten
in Washington, ID. c., hotel. A num-
Der of the poisoned gentlemen died, and
Buchanan had a narrow escape. 1t was
charged that the opposition party had
procured the commission Of the crime.
The investigation revealed the fact that
the poisoning had been caused by the
water which was drank at breakfast, it
having been contaminated by contact
with sewage. DIR. LIE Moyne soon be-
came convinced that the cemeteries of
the world were great promoters of dis
ease, by the infiltration of decomposing
animal matter, by which springs of water
contiguous to graveyards were poisoned.

Curious Litigation.

A queer case of litigation is reported
from Woodbury., Vt. Almon Holmes
sued his sou, July l, for trespass for a
harness and pig, worth less than $40,
aud committed him to jail in Montpe-
ier. The defendant, being still in jail,
could not be present at his trial, and
the father refused to take any steps to
bring him into court. The case was adj
journed to Montpelier, where the court
dismissed the suit, and rendered ludg-
ment for the defendant for his costs,
whereupon the plaintiff appeals the case
to the County court, which keeps the
defendant in Jail. Young Holmes
brought suit for false Imprisonment,
claiming 81, 900 damages of his father
The defendant has wife and six small
children in Elmore that are in a desti-
tute condition. Tie wife chops the
wood for the fire, and the town assists
in their support.
