The Cinderella Of Eease.

The old Princess of Hanau, who has
lust died at Prague, in Bohemia, was
remarkable woman who made a con-
siderable stir in her earlier life. She
was the widow of the last kurfufst or
Prince Elector of Hesse. 1t was through
her grasping ambition, and her equally
resoIute grasping after wealth, that the
ruler became involved in quarrels with
his Ministers and peopI The Princess
was a sort of Griselda ~. Cinderella.
without the romantic tenderness of
those heroines of legend She was the
daughter of wine dealer ut Bonn, on
the Rhine. Lieutenant Lehman, a
young Prnssian officer, fell in love with
her; they were married, and had several
children. The future Eleetor, then the
Crown Prince of Hesse, was fascinated
by her, and is said to have bought her
from her husband for the sum of 40, 600
thalers. After legal divorce had been
effected she married the Prince Evil
tongues said at the time that the Prince
was not moved solely by love to Frau
Lehman, but by desire to spite the
reigning Elector and vex the Countess
Reichenback, to whom he was betroth-
ed.
The wine Dealers daughter ruled her
princeIv husband to his hurt She at
tanned the second object of her arnbi-
ton, as well as the first, and became
enormously rich. She is said TO have
left property amounting to nearly IL
o00, 900 marks, which. however. has to
be divided among half dozen children.
Her late husband, after all his subjects
had deposed him, magnificently absolved
them from their oath of allegiance,
and the old German Sovereign State OF
Electoral Hesse was incorporated with
the Prussian Monarchy. The Elector.
by his pacific acceptance OF the situa-
ton, secured the immense property
which he carried into Bohemia from his
fateful place at Wilhelmshohe. where,
four years later, in the same month of
September. Napoleon III was lodged
as the prisoner OF the Prussian King. =

At Cassville, Ca. we had Just taken
seats on the yeranda for the usual
smoke and talk when up came two
colored men who Were evidently greatly
agitated. One of them made inquiries
for the justice of the peace, and being
told that he was out of town, he turned
to the other and said:

A Crank's Deadly Attempt-Quesn Vic
 toria a Target for n WouId-be Assas-
 sin-Fortunate Escape of Her Majesty.
 LONDON, March 2.-News that an at- tempt had been made on the life of the while caused great excitement in the metrop- oils, but the agitation speedily passed away when it was known that Her Majesty was un- injured and that the assassin was probably crazy person. The facts respecting the at tempted assassination are very few and sim pie. The Queen returning from London in her usual special train descended f.om it at Windsor station where her carriage was in waiting to convey her to the castle. The railway station at Windsor is 8 small and un- pretentious building and except on extraordi- nary occasions and by special orders no pre- cautions are taken to prevent the public from entering the station or the yard which sur rounds it. day the usual crowd of sight seers and others was assembled at and around the station waiting to catch a glimpse of the Queen. Her train on it's arrival stepped on the right hand side of the station and Her Majesty, accompanied by her usual attend ants, stepped upon the platform, entered the room reserved for her use at the station and in another moment emerged from the eppo- site door and advanced to where her carriage was waiting for her. A little crowd stood near and among them was observed misera- ble looking man who had the appearance of a laborer out of work or tramp. Just as the Queen crossed the platform and was about to step into her carriage this man sud denly pushed his way to the front of the spec tators, drew pistol from his breast, pointed it in the direction of the Queen and fired. A shout of horror went up from the spectators and the man was immediately seized and disarmed. The shot was harm less. It touched neither Her Majesty nor anyone else. Judging by the report of the pistol it did not seem heavily loaded. There was moment of wild confusion and agita- tion, but the people perceiving that the Queen was unharmed speedily became con- paratively calm. The composure of the Queen was unbroken. She stood for a mo- ment looking at her would-be assassin in the hands of lis captors and then with face that had not even blanched she bowed majes- tically to the people on her right and left en- tered her carriage and was driven to the castle amid the enthusiastic cheers of the populace. Meanwhile the police had hur- riedly rushed the man into the station. where they placed him in room under guard until orders could be re- ceived concerning him. No absolute facts respecting him have as yet transpired. This is the fifth time that an attempt has been made on the life of the Queen The first was in June, 1S4O, by crazy lad named Oxford. He was sent to an insane asylum for life. The second was in 1842 by John Francis who was sentenced to be hanged, but who was transported for life. The third was in July of the same year by John Bean, who escaped with eighteen months imprison- ment and the fourth was in 1875 by 8 half witted Irish boy named O'Connor, who got off with years imprisonment and twenty lashes.

Suing for Money Invested in Stocks.
 NORTHAMPTON, March 2.-Judge Bassett, of this place, has sued Colonel W. S. Clarke of Amherst, ex president of the State agri- cultural college, and J. R. Boutwell,, of New York, for $1, ,25O and attached the property of Colonel Clarke and wife at Amherst for $2,00O. The suit grows out of dealings in mining stock. Clarke and Boutwell, have sold large amounts of Hill, Star, Grove, Eagle and Stormont stock in Hampshire county, $2O, 900 worth alone being taken in Amherst. Many put confidence in Clarke s ability and previous integrity and en- trusted funds to his care, but all the above stocks have depreciated three or four hundred per cent. It is believed this is to be made test case to be followed by others should it prove successful At Am herst the affair occupies much attention. It is said several of the citizens, including some members of the faculty, lost heavily by deal ing in stocks and some of these are inclined to attribute the loss to the defendant in this case Colonel Clarke is absent at the West and his friends believe that the matter will be promptly and satisfactorily adjusted on his return The case will not come up at North ampton until October.

 Place-Good Work by the Others.
 NEW YORK, March 2.-This afternoon there was great increase in the size of the gathering in Madison Square Garden as soon | as it became known that Hazael had passed Rowell. This change in position took place at 12 minutes past 12 and his score at that time was 392 miles and 5 laps. He returned at 348. The collapse of RowelI created a great sensation. Various rumors were in circulation regarding his condition, one being that it was the effect of his severe training Others said that he had severe attack of cramps and it was probable he would be con- pelled to withdraw from the contest. His trainers were very reticent and refused to say what was really the trouble, but from their Respondent looks it was evident that the trouble was of no slight nature. The betting men from offers of 4 to 1 that Rowell would win changed the states to 3 and 2 to against him. At 1928 Hazael passed Powell and the building re-echoed with applause. At 1:45 p. m. Hazael was miles and laps ahead of the champion. At 2:16 Hazael completed 400 miles and led the record by miles and was ahead of the champion by miles and 3 laps Hughes returned to the track at 2:15 and was an object of commiseration. Rheu- matism has settled in his hip and knee joints. At 2:35 Hazael left the track to take needed rest. He was 9 miles laps ahead of Rowell. Hazael returned to the track at 2:57 and walked leisurely around sucking lemon. Shortly after o'clock Hazael and Fitzgerald had several exciting brushes for the lead, which generally terminated in favor of Hazael. At 9:30 there were fully eight thousand persons in the building. Hughes came on the track at 9 o'clock wearing green cap. He was loudly applauded. At 9:12 Rowell stepped into the track looking weak. He received tremendous ovation. A we'll known sporting man in conversation with @ reporter said -''There has been some talk about town that Rowell does not intend to take first place in the race if he can. Now want to tell you something which you may publish. I know it to be fact and it does away completely with the idea that there is to be anything crooked on. Rowell's part at least in the walk Just after Rowell left England to participate in the walk Sir John Astley made wager of e1O,OOO that Rowell would cover 600 miles, After the money had been put up Sir John cabled to Rowell, say ing If you cover GOO miles I'll give you half my wager of G1O,0OO.' Now this is a fact and Rowell will cover 600 miles. No combination can be made strong enough to prevent him from doing so. He is the only one in the walk who will cover that number of miles. He will take away with him Sir John's $25,000 and as much more in gate money and bets." Following are the even- in Q scores

Wrecked al Long Branch-LOss of a Brit
 ish Bark-Desperate Rescue of the
 Crew.
 NEW YORK, March 2.-The British bark William J. Stairs,. from Liverpool January II for New York; was totally wrecked at the foot of Bath avenue Long Branch, N. J., early this morning. Her cargo consisted of l, 200 tons of salt. She had crew of fifteen men, including the captain, Kenneth McKen- zie. She was valued at from $50, ,OOO, and was built two years ago last spring She was owned by Alexander Roy and others, of Maitland, N. S., and was partly insured. The cargo was valued at about $7,O00, and was consigned to J. F. Whitney, New York ship broker. The crew, with the exception of Joseph Dickson, the cabin boy, was saved by Life Saving Station No. 5, at Green Pond. The second mate, 8 nephew of the captain, said the vessel struck about 200 yards from the beach, at about 9:30 o'clock last night. The fog was very thick, and the captain was ahead of his reckoning. The sea ran very ! high, and the vessel was thrown broadside to the beach. and began breaking up. Early l this morning it was struck by terrific wave 1 that tore it into three pieces. The crew were I all huddled together on the stern-piece, which drifted toward the shore The piece was | lifted up by the strong waves and thumped up and down on the sand with great force. The grasp of the cabin boy was broken by
 one of these shocks, and he was swept over 1 board into the mass of floating timber that covered the waves. He was sixteen years
 old, and belonged in Liverpool. The ships pa pers were lost, and the clothing of the crew met
 the same fate. member of the coast guard l belonging to the station named, discovered
 the wreck at o'clock B. m., but the alarm had been. carried to the station by watch. I man, at tf1e West End Hotel, and the guard l met the men from the station on their way I to the W. eek with necessary apparatus. The l wreck was reached in fifteen minutes after
 the alarm was received. The usual lights
 were displayed and whipline was shot over l the vessel at o'clock. The sea was very l strong and the life saving crew was com pelled to carry the shore end of the whip lint | one quarter of a mile down the beach, wher l the line was cut in twain by the floating pieces of the wreck. Some of the crew wery i sent back to the station for more apparatus 1 A little before o'clock the vessel began tC break up rapidly and her two masts went by the board. At daybreak another attempt wal
