The curious Stebbins, who had
Marching Through Georgia" and
"Good-by, My Lover. Good-by," sung
by request at his grave, was once ap-
pointed Consul to the Philippine Islands.
He was informed, however, that it was
very hot there and there were numerous
and severe earthquakes to give him the
"shakes." He "wired'' at once to
Washington: 81 like hot climate and
don't care for earthquakes" He had
hardly set foot on the islands when there
was an earthquake which nearly threw
him back into the hold of the steamer.
He didn't go ashore again, but returned
home on the same steamer.--N Y

A RACKET REVIVED.
The Sullivan OdSOn Case Once More
Brought Before the Police.
Renewed Threats of Severe Treat
ment OF the Old Man.

The readers of THE BEE will remem-
Der the Sullivan Dodson scandal which
occurred a few weeks ago and was pub
lished through the newspapers, together
with the fact that the young ma. va
finally discharged, it appearing that the
young lady was of age and that they had
been engaged to be married. Miss bod
sons father, it appeared, had been beat
ing her and otherwise abusing her, and
the whole n~eighborhood about them was
aroused; so much so that threats of tar
ring and feathering were made.
Since the publication of this sensation,
the Dodson family moved over to TWEEN
ty-third and Franklin streets, and into
the heart of a very quiet neighborhood.
Here night before last they got into a
new trouble. Sullivan, it appears, still
keeps up his attention to the girl, to
which her parents make serious objec-
tons. He has been in the habit of 60
ing up and waiting on the corner af Saun-
ders and Seward streets, which is near
her home until she came out, and the
two would go off and take a walk to-
gether. Night before last they went
away about six o'clock together and re-
turned about nine. Soon after their
coming home. and Mr.. Sullivan was still
standing on the street, a loud cutlery was
heard from the Dodson house which was
taken up by Sullivan and the whole
neighborhood made to resound with cries
as if a murder was being committed. At
least two hundred people were on the
street or at their windows looking to see
what the cause of the unusual noise was,
and finally Miss Dodson came out of the
house and went away with Sullivan. 1t
is supposed that when she went home her
father, knowing that she had been out
! again with the man who is prescribed in
the family, turned in and abused her in
some way or other, by beating or not is
not known, but at least caused a terrible
racket in the neighborhood.
A prominent official told a BEE report
yesterday that they did not propose to
stand any more such nonsense as that,
and authorized us to say that if it was
continued they would give the old man a
terrible punishment. He said he had
eight children of his own, all of whom
were aroused and at the windows looking
out to see what the trouble was, and
rather than have such a thing in what
had heretofore beer a quiet and peacea-
neighborhood he would himself turn out
and help to tar and feather or do some
thing worse to Dodson, if they were
really abusing the girl, as was generally
reported.

Quite n sensation was created on

The news spread all over town and a
Bee reporter was sent to investigate the
matter. He found the flag down and
lying folded up upon a pile of household
goods and miscellaneous traps. 1t was
learned that the intention was to hold an
auction of the goods during the morning
but unfortunately the danger signal was
chosen to advertise it and instead of
drawing a crowd it paralyzed
the whole business and scared everybody
out Of the neighborhood.
