A Social BombsheIi i'm che American
Colony at Paris.


Philadelphia Telegraph.
Paris, August l2.--This is not exactly TIE
season of the year for social scandals, but a
small bombshell Of this naisre has just burst
on the American colony, causing good deal
Of Amusement therein. The facts in the case
are as follows; A little more than year ago
an English gentleman arrived in Paris 10
take up his abode in this doecIable
city. He was accompanied by his wife, a
very beautiful American lady, who was, |
understand, Philadelphian by birth, and
moreover was the divorced wife Of New
York merchsnt--divorced DO II understood,
for no fault of her own, but on account of
eundry misdemeancrs on the part OF her
husband. This pair, being elegant In man
ner, hospilsble, social, and Of cultivated
tastes, soon gained an entree in the most
exclusive circles OF the American colony,
They took hotel in the fashionable quarter
OF Paris, that of the Paro MoDcenu, aud
furnished II In gorgeous style. The gentle
mans equipsges, the lady's toilets and
towels, we're on the same magnificent scale.
Her visiting costume Of emerald green vel
vet trimmed with Il issisn sable was said to
DO the most costly dress of the kind that ever
issued from Worlh's famous establishment,
the cloak alone costing $4,000 The source
OF the genteman's wealth was said to DO
certain mines In Colorado or Nevada. This
summer au elegant villa at Desnville re-
ceiyed this fortunate couple, who continued
there the profnse ospitslity Of their Partisan
home, entertaining succession OF guests,
amongst whom were numbered representa-
tives.of some of the proudest and most exs
elusive American families who reside in
Paris. The other day the London Daily
Telegraph contained report Of the suit for
divorce brought against the English million
aire by his 6rst wife for bgamy and deser-
ton. A Colorado divorce had alone been
called upon TO sever the iie that united them,
and no warning or information of the pro.
ceediDgs had ever been granted TO Mrs.

YESTERDAYS FIRE.

Yesterday about five minutes after
12 o'clock, an alarm Of fire was sounded
and by quick and continued ringing Of the
Empire bell it was known to be in the
neighborhood Of tha. house. 1t was soon
ascertained that it was a carpenter shop,
belonging to William Hensel and situated
on East Marion alley, between Duke ard
Lime streets. The building was of brick,
but the fire burned very fast and furious
and it was but short time until all of the
woodwork was consumed, together with
tools valued at $500, several new Wheel
barrows, a large kitchen cupboard and a
lot of lumber, and other things. The
building is almost total loss and was
valued at $500. There was no insurance
on the building or contents.
1t is not known how the fire started, as
one of Mr.. Hensefs sous was I'M the build
ing shortly before when all was right. He
left the door open when he went to dinner
and it is thought that some boys went into
the building and set it on fire Two bows.
whose characters are no. good, acted
saspiciously during the fire anil it is likely
that they are the guilty parties. The fire.
men were on hand at the fire, but the
flames had gained too much headway for
them to save anything.

A Question OF Attachment.

The triangular contest in the Dauphin
Lebanon judicial district will result ir
the election of the Democratic candidate
provided the Republican candidate in
Lebanon can command the vote of his
party there. There is some doubt as tC
the completeness with which he can dc
this, as he has influential Republican
enemies in his own county. He tri.
umphed over Funk for the nomination
and now very good excuse is open to
his fellow Republicans who have no love
for him to desert him for Simonton but
he can retaliate on the latter to some ex-
tent in Dauphin, SO that the probability
is that the Democratic candidate will
have a plurality in the two counties.
As, however, Simonton, will probably
have the plurality of the vote in Dauphin,
his purpose is said to be to claim to be
elected by it on the ground that Dauphin
is the district and Lebanon is only at
tached to it. The verbiage of the con-
stitution and the law on the subject may
create possible question in the mind of
a splitting lawyer, but no layman of
ordinary sense will doubt that the pur-
pose of the law is to give every voter in
the district vote for its judge.
Dauphin has the 10000 population
needed for a special district. The con-
stitution says that such a county * shall
constitute a separate district -: and fur
ther provides that counties of less popu-
latiOn "should be formed into conye.-
nient single districts, or, if necessary.
may be attached 10 contiguous dis
tricts." If small county is thus
attached to another it certainly becomes
part of it for the purposes and uses for
which judiciary is provided, and it can
not be reasonably claimed that it is not
so mucb a part of it as to fat the duty of
the judge upon all the electors.
