The sui! of Mrs. Myron Clark Gaines
against the city of New Orleans, which
was commenced more than thirty-fve
years ago, after passing through all
the vicissitudes of defeat and victory,
and growing so old that its foundation
aud incidents have been forgotten, has
ut last been decided in favor of the
claimant The facts of the case are
briefly these; Mrs. Gaines father, Dan
iel CLARK, was brilliant and hot-headed
Irishman, who married Zuline Carricre,
in Philadelphia, in 1903, she having pre-
viously been married to a man who had
another wife living. The evidence Of
her first husbands bigamy was com
plcte, although he never was convicted
/ by reason of his escape from prison, and
the marriage was therefore legitimate.
Clark was man of extraordinary abil-
, ity, and accumulated great property in
: New Orleans, and lived in regal style,
! being especially lavish upon his daugh-
ter, his wife having proved unfaithful.
/ At his death, q will was found, making
his mother sole legatee, and the prop
erty was sold under the will. Knowl-
edge was brought to Mrs. Gaines, then
wife of Major General Gaines of the
United States army, of the existence OF
later will making her sole heir, and
suits were commenced. This later will
Ind been destroyed, but its existence
after Clark's death, and its contents
were proved, and it was upon that proof
that the decision has been rendered in
her favor. The property is very large,
amounting to thirty million dollars, and
the decision will occasion great confl-
sion and trouble, as may be imagined
from the length of time and numerous
changes of ownership since the suit was
commenced Rutland Herald.

~ Apropos ofthe late election trou-
bIcs in South Carolina and the political
cal bargains of the campaign, we give
the record of parallel case in the same
state published in New York paper of
1901, In which the results of their bar
gsia was not quite so successful as in
The more recent case. This paper says:
There are gentleman now in this city
from South Carolina who were men,
bers and present in the legislature of
that state when they met in December
last TO choose electors for president,
and who assert II as fact publicly, and
even mention names, that an offer
wa made by the Anti-Federal party, or
at least by as many Of them as with
the FedsraIisfs were amply sufficient 10
have decided the choice OF electors, that
they would relinquish Col. Burr If the
Federalisis would agree 10 relinqpish
Mr.. Adams, and that the electors should
be chosen in the confidence that they
szould give In their votes for president
for Sir. Jefferson and Gen. Pinckney I;
but ii coming TO the knowledge OF
Gen. Enckasy, lie instantly gave 1t as
his opinion that the offer ought to be,
Bsd 1t accordingly was, rejected.

EFFECT OF THE WAR News ON THE
MARKETs.-The market for breadstuffs
and provisions continues to advance in
sympathy with the recent warlike news
from Europe, and the spirit of specula-
ton was more apparent this week than
at any time since the relations between
Russia and Turkey assumed belligcr-
ent tone. The effect is seen more es-
pccially in breadstuils, and the markets
along the seaboard as well as at the
centres of trade in the West have be.
come buoyant and prices are going up
rapidly.
Dispatches from Chicago, Wednesday
report the wheat market as very excited
and active, with sales MS high MS 81 .55 IA
per bushel for May and Sl.57 81 for
June delivery, which is an advance of
4 Is cents on the closing rates of Sat
urday. AT Milwaukee the excitement
was very marked the same day, wheat
was sold at $l.6S l-2 soon after the
opening of business. The market for
pork and lard is also considerably af-
fected by the prevailing belief in war.
The gold premium is also stronger,
prices having ranged from i07 to l07
IA.

TIE EASTERN WAR.
IOstilitics Begun--Russian Troops on
the Mnrch--(;ermany Preparing.

LONDON, April u.
The Russian troops have crossed the
Pruth and the greatest European war of
modern times has virtually begun The
Sultan will at once set ont for the seat
of war. The impression is decidedly
gaining ground that Turkey will have
TO use coercion OH Roumania. This will
be most desperate war in the face of
Turkeys other danger to accomplish
the wreck of this principally. Turkey
has collected 10000 Circassians, who
will be converted into Bashi-bazouks.
and turned loose upon the dcfenceless
people of that province. The horrors
of Bataka will be more than equallcd if
this occurs. Germany will then become
an active ally of Russia, for the pride of
the German empire is conferred upon
keeping the Hohenzollern Prince Charles
upon the Roumanian throne. Turkeys
fate will then be sealed for all time
The Christian nations of Europe must
join to drive the Turks across the Bos
phorus.
The Grand Duke Nicholas has issued
proclamation TO the inhabitants of
Roumania announcing the passage of
the Russian army under his command
tOWAIuo tllc OdlluDc. ltOuliluIlla nuNllg
received no preliminary notification,
has declared that it yields to force, and
has directed its troops to fall back TO
avoid a conflict.
Twelve hundred mounted Cossacks
passed through Kitilia ON the way to
Kaiafat Saturday night. A regiment Of
Roumanian cavalry has started for Kali
afat.
BUCHAREST, April "a.
The ROumanian government in reply
to the Turkish grand vizer's dispatch re-
questing the prince to make arrange
ments to prevent the passage of the
Russian army, has declared such step
too serious to be determined by execu-
tive power alone. The Roumanian
chambers will be assembled April &c, to
examine the question. The first Rus
sian detachment, consisting of forty sap
pers and an officer, crossed the Rouman-
ian frontier yesterday at Bostirak, and
1000 men are expected to cross to-day.
Grand Duke Nicholas issued procla-
nation to the inhabitants of Roumania
announcing the passage of the Russian
army under his command toward the
Danube. Roumania having received no
preliminary notification, has declared
it yields TO force, and has directed its
troops to fall back to avoid a conflict.

II The war between Russia and Tur-
key seems to have begun in earnest.
The Russians have crossed the Pruth,
the dividing river between Russia and
Roumania, the northern principality of
Turkey. The Turks arc making prep
aratiohs 10 resist the invasion, and it is
probable that the Russians will find
1.-The sick man" hard customer to deal
with. What the character of the fight
ing will be, what the Christian provin-
ces of Turkey will suffer, and what part
the other powers of Europe will take
can only be told as the contest devel-
opes. 1t seems probable that all will
maintain neutrality so long us national
interests will permit, as no one of the
great powers feels like fighting for 9TH
crs' Interests. But it is considered quite
possible that nation after nation may be
drawn into the war if Russia shows ev-
idence Of any designs of conquest or q
lack Of faith in her recent professions,
in which case this may be the beginning
Of the greatest war of modern times.

S~ The question Of prohibition or /

SR The question OF prohibition or IL
cense is fought out and in each annual
session of the General Court of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, some
times the friends of prohibitory legisla-
ton being most numerous, but latterly
the license theory more frequently pre-
yailing. At the present session bill
was carried through the lower house,
substantially re-snacting the law so
long in force in that state. Attempts
were made to strike ont each of the
milder drinks, ale, lager and cider,
from the list of prohibitory beverages,
and failed. The bill went to its third
reading by strong vote and was con-
sidered as good as passed. But at length
nm amendment striking out all three to-
selher was passed and number of pro-
hibitionists joined the opponents of the
of the bill aud it was killed by eleven
majority. And so this good old Puritan
state must have at least another year of
experience with the evils of the license
system.

Withdrawn by the Federal government,

Legislature went over to the Nichols
Legislature and were received with a
reasonable degree of cordially, certain
" with due moderation. The admins

drew its support of Packard, and the
Nichols government at once became the

probably be recognized. We can scarce

developed on Monday will continue
forever, but SO far as il indicates con-
dition of reconciliation ofthe discordant
elements of Louisiana we may rejoice,
and il is not unreasonable to expect q
permanent Improvement in the relation;

such result. II is by 10 means an un'
pleasant reflection that we have recedeC
so far from the condition of war that
the administration felt justified in try
ing the experiment of removing the
military, thus giving an opportunity fol
the normal conditions of local govern

A committee of the New York Legis-
lature had Mr.. Tweed before them, in
Ludlow street Jail, on Saturday, to in
quirc into the charges made in his con-
fession against Senator Woodin and 9TH
ers. Mr.. Tweed, in answer to qnes-
tons, declined testifying, mainly on the
ground that he might criminate him
self. He stated that he was not rcspon-
sible for the alleged confession. On his
carnival he sent for his counsel, Mr..
Townsend, and told him he had sent
word to the encouragement that he
was going TO give up all his effects. He
was advised to tabulate what he had to
say, and he did so with the distinct I'M
Outstanding that no one outside should
see it, and that it:was to be returned il
not approved by the Encouragement.
He promised corroborative evidence and
information as to suits against the city.
He had been long enough protecting
other peoples reputation and position,
and he had got all he wanted of con-
finement. He was astonished at the
statement published. There might be a
few facts in it, but most of it was tic.
ton.
