The Porte will Forbid the English Fleet
TO Enter the Bosphorus Except as am

LONDON. Aug. ia Constantinaple CORES
pondent says it is stated on good authorities
that Musurus Pasha, the Turkish ambassador
at London, recently wrote to the Porte that he
had reason to believe that the British govern
ment would shortly ask authorization for a fleet
to enter the Bosphorus in certain contingencies,
in order to protect Christians. But the Porte
replied that fleet could only come in as an
avowed alley Of Turkey.
:, 1t is also asserted, though on doubtful au.
thority, that this reply was Withdrawn on the
energetic remonstrance of Layard, the British
representative at Constantinople.

HOW TO ESCAPE THE MOI
FETT REGISTER.

If the liquor dealers in any State wish
to escape the infection of the Moffett
register, which is SO annoying to the fra
ternity sin Virginia, they must join in
proposing and supporting good, prac-
ticable excise law; They lhave no longer
fanatics never gained foothold in most
of the Western and Southern States, and
they have disappeared as dangerous fac
tions all over the North, except in Maine
and Massachusetts. But while prohibi-
ton is as good as dead, there is wide
spread disposition to regulate the liquor
business more strictly than ever and
make it greater source OF revenue to
tho State. This feeling in Virginia-a
State far removed from fanaticism-
called into existence the Moffett regis
ter. II is a machine, with bell and a
DIAL which f'sounds" and records every
drink taken, the barkeeper being oblig-
ed to turn crank that performs those
operations Immediately upon receiving
pay from a customer. 1t is set up in
every place licensed for the sale of liquor,
and is under charge of State officials, who
inspect it periodically and collect from
the dealer the amount of money due on
drinks sold as per register. The tax on
alcoholic beverages is two and half
cents; and on malt liquors one-half cent
glass. AS this revenue goes to the
State, every taxpayer, and every other
citizen in fact, is Interested in seeing it
collected, even if his patriotism does not
go far enough to make him drink more
freely for the good of the Common wealth.
The liquor dealer is thus placed under an
espionage severer than that of paid dc
tectlves. Furthermore, an informer gets
one-third of the large fine imposed for a
neglect or violation of the law; aud for a
second offense the dealer loses bis
license. t4=. 7s..l
Returns from Richmond and the other
cities where the register has been intro
duced warrant the expectation that the
total yearly excise receipts of the State
| will be enlarged by S500,000. In other
States of the South, even more desirous
than Virginia of raising their revenues,
the progress of the Motfett register Is
watched with envy. They see there a
surer plan of levying and collecting taxes
| than any hitherto tried. 1t will doubt
less be adopted in other Southern States,
and in those of the North where the
exo else laws are not sufficiently produc-
tive.

A BOLD S WINDLER.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-An important ar
rest was made here yesterday in the per
son of Charles Stein, who has been play
ing shrewd confidence game in various
cities throughout the country, notably In
Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati,
DAYTON, Cleveland and Indianapolis, 1t
seems that the favorite trick of Stein has
been to get in with comme tcial drum
mers, follow their movements, and when
they had left the place send d telegram
in some drummer'S name to his employ
ers stating that he ha 1 been robbed, and
requesting a remittance of 500 or SlO0 by
telegraph. Receiving the money order
he would get the telegraph operator to
identify him and then have his order
cashed. Last week he played his game
in Indianapolis, and coming to this city
n day or two ago called at the Western
Union Telegraph office, sent m sage
to a person in Wisconsin, signing the
name of "Tony Marks" and asking for
remittance Of $50. The order to pay
came Immediately, and f. P. Jones,
money order clerk at the telegraph Of
flee, gave check for the amount. Short
" afterward the fraud was discovered,
and efforts made to capture the forger.
| The money clerk went over to East st.
L ouis, yesterday, and after long search
| found Stein in the Allerton House. He
accosted Stein and requc ted him to re-
turn to this side of the river with him.
Stein consented to do so, and started
back with Jones, but had come only a
short distance when he broke away
Jones, however, struck him blow with
heavy cane, thus stopping the flight
aud securing qis, man. Chief of Police
Walsh, of East st. Louis, was sent for
and arrested Stein, aud bringing him to
the centre of the bridge over the Missls-
sippi river, delivered him to st. Louis
policeman, who lodged the prisoner in
the city Jail. IL is stated the telegraph
company WILL prosecute the case vigor'
ously Stein is Jew, and said to be one
of the most dangerous criminals in the

A BANK ROBBER CAUGHT

CINCINNATI, October 6.-Willis m
r. Cooper, the noted California bank
robber and forger, details of whose

He arrived this morning and after
eluding the detectives all day was

From Havre come the tidings that there
need be no more sea sickness. A num-

lust where they were-most likely to meet
with severe tests, and it has been found
that those who were provided with a
certain electromagnetic girdle were enti-
rely exempted from sea sickness, while
those who became sea sick without the
appliance were almost instanteously cured

A KANSAS ELOPEMENT.
A YOUNG WHITE GIRL RUNS AWAY
.-. WITH A NEGRO.

.--.. WITH A NEGRO.
A st. Louis despatch states that case
of elopament has just transpired at
Abilene, Kan, which has created no
little amount of indignation among the
people of that section. Jennie Bolton, a
pretty girl of fifteen, daughter cf a farmer
living near Abilene, disappeared a few
days ago, and shortly after wards it was
discovered that she had run away in
company with a notorious mulatto, about
forty years of age, who, has lived for
some time at Abilene. As soon as the
fact became known considerable excite
ment prevailed among the citizens,
which was more augmented by the Cir
cumstances that the child is so childish
and young as to be scarcely responsible
for her actions. The citizens immedia-
tely raised large sum of money as re-
ward, and for paying the expense OF pnr-
suing the scoundrel and his victim. Mar
shall Horsington, of Abilene, took up the
trail, and follow wing it with great rapidi-
ty came upon tine flying couple at
Salina, captured them, and at once took
them aboard of train bound for Abb
lene. When the tram arrived the father
of the girl was at the depot and attemp-
ted to Shoot the abductor of his daugh-
ter, but was prevented by Sheriff
Nicolay. 1t was with the greatest diff
Guilty that the citizens could be restrain
ed from lynching the man. The girl
was restored to her father and the alb
ductor put in Jail. and he will undoub-
tedly get speedy justice from the courts.

that the question of opening Harmony st.
