A Matrimonial Adventurer Under Arrest.
 NORFOLK, Aug. 1s.-Intelligence has just reached here of the arrest at Lynn, Mass. of Samuel Marvin, the man who made bus mess of going through the country duping girls into marrying with him by advertising for governesses. Early in July Marvin ap- peared at Richmond, Va, and succeeded in duping young lady of high social position there into marriage with him. The unfor- tunate victim answered one of Marvin's ad- vertisements in Connecticut newspaper. in which he professed to be wealthy Ohio widower in want of governess. A core spondenee was opened by the applicant. Marvin went to Richmond and pretended to be smitten with the lady, claiming that he was rich Ohio widower, who had lived for many years in France in elegant style. After remaining in the capital of Virginia 8 few days Marvin succeeded in gaining the lady's consent to marriage, which was quietly sol emnized. The bridegroom being short of money got some of his new friends to intro duce him at the First National bank at Rich mond, when he had bogus draft on Chicago for $7OO cashed, and left next day with his bride for the North. After 8 so- journ at Auburn, N. Y., of few days, Mar win deserted his victim and fled. The au- thorities here will at once send an officer to Massachusetts with requisition for the ac- cused.

The Fish Commissioners.

Fish Commissioners Hudson and Pike have gone to Maine this week on business trip. They first go to Grand Lakes stream and thence to the Penobscot river, near Bangor, to inspect the operations of an improved fish way. Those in use in this State, ,and, for that matter, all fshways invented to date, are not wholly satisfactory. Consequently all inven- tions of this character are regarded with in terest as possible solutions of the problem of enabling fish to pass dams and other ob- structions and reach their natural breeding grounds During their stay in Maine the commissioners will also visit the salmon matching station at Bucksport. This is con- ducted jointly by the United States fish com missioners and those of Massachusetts and Connecticut, and from it are obtained the young salmon which are placed in the streams of this State

Fanatics Plan Frustrated.
 LONDON, Aug. 18.-A despatch from Susa says a fanatic at that place endeavored to urge the Mussulmans to declare holy war against the Christians in that city and ex- terminate them. The fanatic by his wild preaching had succeeded in arousing the re- igious fervor of large number of the less intelligent Mussulmans to very high pitch and serious results would have occurred but for the presence in the harbor within easy range of the city of Her Majesty's steamer Monarch with 400 marines aboard. The commander of the Monarch on being in formed of the trouble that was brewing noti- fled the authorities that if an attack was made on the Christian residents he would immediately open fire on the town. The irate Mussuamans hearing of this immediately calmed down and order was restored.
