MRS. LANGTRY
Defies Public Opinion and still Permits
That Puppy Gebhardt TO Control
Her Moysments-Her Conduct
In Philadelphia Excites Public indigna-
tiOn-The London 'sStandard" Not al
all Astonished at Her Success.

PHILADELPHIA. December 2l.-1he pa
pers Tuesday printed long accounts oil tne
m ystery attending the arrival here oil Mrs.
Lspgtry Monday. From the HesSs account
IL appears that her manager and maids were
in a most perturbed stale OF mind over ner
and the former went racing
about in a carriage from depo. to hotel ana
from hotel to depot in efforts to find her.
special car had been engaged to bring her
over from Jersey City, which rolled into the
depot empty, and at the Bellevue, where
rooms had been engaged for her, there was
some excitement. He dresser could not IN
derstand how it Was that madame had not
arrived. as she was not sick, but only rather
faligued by the journey from Boston when
the party left her in New York. Madame
had some business to attend TO there, she be-
I;evsd and that WAS the reason that she had
e other members OF the
company. At length Mrs. Langtry quietly
sppeared unaccompauied, and at nearly 8
o'clock started for the theater. She left the
hotel BY the Walnut street entrance, where
carriage was in waiting. She was
unaccom panied, and when she reached
the side entrance of the theater
iu Clover street, there being no one to re-
ceive her, she opened and shut the carriage
door herself. Then she stood a moment on
the curbstone, as though uncertain what 10
do next. A light cleaned through the half
open stage door. She pushed the door open
and stood face to face with the stage door
keeper. 81 am Mrs. Langtry," she said,
simply. The man made way respectfully,
the door swung TO with bang, and the
vision Of beauty in cherry coiored silk
dress, sealskin sscque, and neat, dark bonnet,
with ribbon matshing the dress, was lost to
sight.
The cause of the mysterious delay was not
explained in any OF the morning papers, but
it now appears that the reason she 30 nearly
missed keeping her engagement was taat she
was detained until the last train by a long
sitting at breakfast with Mr.. Frederick Geb-
hardt, who accompanied her. This discovery
has not advanced her in public esteem; but
then it appears that Mrs. Lsngtry is becom-
ing more and more indifferent to public
opinion. Her baggage reached the hotel at
8 O'Clock There we're fifteen enormous
franks and basket bearing the name OF
wellknown champagne house, but the brand
was not "Pomery Sec" II is said that The
lady left the cars at Frankford Junction, and
drove thence to the hotel.

Ar.emp, TO Steal an Entire Town.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, December 2l.-An
attempt at land jumping Of stupendous mag
nitude has been unearthed here, having in
view the stealing of the entire town of AL
buquerqUe from the present owners. The
locating of the public land with the land
scrip of Albuquerque, on the Mexican COM
munity gram, three miles square, has not
been confirmed. Congress situated thus SINH
larly every town then in Mexico. The gov
eminent confirmed these grants, as matter
OF course. Titles were transferred from origi-
nal grantees to the present generation, no
question ever being raised as to the validity.
The surveyor-general has surveyed the Alba
querque grant and prepared 1t for confirma-
ton, reporting, of course, favorably. The
grant in the last two years has bscome i'm
mensely valuable, containing, as it does, both
the towns of Bsrnalillo and Albuquerque
with all it's additions, 10000 Inhabitants,
shops OF the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad, aud the handsomest and most costly
buildings in New Mexico. Some weeks ago
Dewitt G. Stearns and Thos. q. Douglas
made their appearance there as lawyers, and
after maturing their plans took the first step
toward ousting the citizens here and home
stealing the whole Of New MexIco's largest
town. Some of the largest real estate owners
of Albuquerque got an inkling of the plot
and went up TO Santa Fe to see the surveyor
general, but found he had acted with prompti-
tude and knocked the scheme TO pieces at Its
beginning, by refusing TO allow the case to
be reopened. Fooled at the outset 10 their
plot, and aware that the indignation of AL
buquerque people toward land Jumpers, and
especially toward the authors of such bare
faced attempt to unsettle values here, is un-
pleasant in its consequences, Douglas and
Siearns will probably leave the country.

Deserted NIfe'. history.

HANNIBAL, Mo, December 2l.-Quite
little romance was discovered here Tuesday
morning, in the way of a deserted wife's bis
tory, which runs about as follows: The
lady, being Intercepted, said that she was
married three years ago at Lafayette, Ind,
and that for one year and nine months her
life was inexpressibly happy. During this
time her husband was a baggageman on the
Milwaukee snd st. Paul road; but shortly
thereafter, and just subsequently, to the birth
of her child, he became neglectful, and even
Overlooking, and would absent himself from
home. She finally discovered the cause of
the enlargement He had got TO gambling
and had been discharged from theroad. Then
he left her entirely to her own resources, and
she never saw him again until last February,
and then only for a short time. In the in-
term the baby died, and she went to H.
dianapolis, where her relatives resided, and
remained there until few days since, when
che received a letter from her truant
husband requesting her to come 10 Hannibal
and Join him, and promised that he would
make her future life more pleasant than the
past had been. She, woman-like, trusted
once more to the honor of the man who had
twice betrayed her, and came 10 Hannibal,
arriving here on Friday night last. Upon
visiting the postofiee next morning she
found letter which he had left for her, SIM
ply stating that he would telegraph for her
to meet him on some train or TO come TO
Chicago. Five days having elapsed, and DO
word having been received from him, she
came to the conclusion that she had been
duped again. Her exchequer was
getting low, and she started oat this morning
to obtain work of any kind, and through The
aid of some kind-hearted citizens was soon
snugly installed in a good home. She now
talks OF entering suit for divorce.
