Chatter About London Folks.

The match of Hannah de Roths-

this report because both these young
persons have an army Of enemies

pose the match-and as long as these
latter live they will never keep their

Seven Men Fall Sixty Feet.

In the gray of Monday morning

A Rare Sight in the Surf.

A rare sight was witnessed on the
beach yesterday. For several hun
dred feet the surf was a perfect black
mass of young fish (anchovies prob

fifty feet from the edge Of the surf,
and appeared to be guarded by a
line of larger fish, among which a
turmoil would occasionally occur, as
others of different sort made an
attack on the flank of the cloud of
small fry. The same phenomenon
was visible on Sunday afternoon.
They seemed to drift down the
coast with the tide, and will doubt.

Sundry small boys made several
attempts to capture some of them
with nets, but they failed every time.
The fish were so thick that the waves
could not break on the beach.-Santa

ElOplng in Male Attire.

Last evening Policeman Charles
Ecoville, of Ashtabula. arrested on
suspicion a German pedler, who
gave his name as George Urbar, of
Erie, Pa, and with him what appeared
to be a young man Of eighteen years,
who were trying to dispose of horse
and buggy at much below its value.
90 arriving at the lookup he dis
covered that the younger person was
woman in male attire. They pro-
tested their innocence and requested
that dispatch be sent to Erie to
establish the same. This morning
the Chief of Police of Erie tele-
graphed that they were wanted at
police headquarters, and an officer,
with Mr.. T. p. Mcbride, of Cross
ingville, Crawford county, Pa, soon
after arrived at Ashtabula. Mr.. Nc.
Bride identified the girl as his daugh
ter, and said she left home last Mon
day; that he had at first supposed
her to be dead, and he secured the
country roundabout in search for her,
and that the police of Erie had
searched throughout that city. He
appeared overjoyed at her recovery,
even in her sad condition. Her
companion, who is a lusty looking
German, with Napoleonic whisker,
and who has wife and two children
at Erie, had enticed her from home,
dressed her in male attire, cut of
her beautiful raven hair, and was
about to skip for the west with her

ment.
fChicago Dispatch.l
Among the desperate devices re-
sorted to by faro-b bank proprietors to
evade the vigorous raids of the po-
lice, favorite one is to lock up the
inmates in fire. proof vaults, which
are supplied with ventilsting holes
for this purpose. This morning at 1
o'clock George Rankings den was
raided, and seventeen players were
bundled into the vault, the door
locked and the police admitted,
Hawkins and negro servant remain
ing on the outside. Instead Of going
away, as usual, on finding the room
deserted, the officers, who we're up to
the dodge, sat down and waited.
Noticing the ventilating holes,
they stuffed paper into them and
again sat down. In about an hour
the air in the vault had become so
vltiated that the prisoners became
desperate, and from the inside came
faint cries of "Let US out; we are
nearly dead" Even then the pro.
prietor refused for a time to liberate
them, and when he did the seven
teen inmates rushed out in q state
bordering on suffocation. One old
man was nearly dead and all were
terribly exhausted. They were taken
to the station to be arraigned to-
morrow morning in the Police Court.
The confinement of seventeen men
in an alright vault only eleven feet
square was dangerous experiment
which faro bank patrons will hardly
consent to try again, and its disas-
trous result will be of value in aid
ing the police in their efforts to sup
press gambling in Chicago.

Jurors who have formed opinions on the
issues or material facts to be tried merely from
reading accounts or statements of the trans
action in the public journals, should not
thereby be rendered incompetent 10 serve In
the case. Ifjuries are composed only OF those
who are unaccustomed to read the daily or
weekly newspapers as is sometimes the case,
then the chances are that they will contain
many who are too ignorant to read at all. Ig-
norance is dangerous on all occasions, and
especially in jury box. That man who is
disinterestci in a case is not the more unwor.

he has read the papers of his town, city or
county, and thereby become acquainted

pretends to quote from a speech which il
says was made some years ago by Gov. An
thony, in tie State of New York. We never
heard OF the speech before, bat any reader
with grain Of sense can readily see that the
quotations are sentences garbled out Of their
connexions, and thus made to convey sentl-
ments which neither Governor Anthony nor
any other sensible man ever entertained
Abilene Gazette.
THE TINES published the extracts from
Geo. rs speech and stated at the time tina,
we were unable to procure the whole speech
There are two printed copies Of that speech
in existence. One in Medina, in the hand,
OF Geo. rs friend, who declines to let il
pass out Of his hands, and the other, Geo T,
has in Leavenworth.
We will make this proposition. If Geo.
I. will furnish the speech we will print it
in full together with any explanation or
explanations he may write concerning it.

perhaps hereafter act and write without
exhibiting so much prejudice
