Mr.. Frederick Gerhard left Delmonico's
by the Fifth avenue door about midnight
on Saturday. Three other men went out
at the same time. One of them was Mr..
William Sanford.
Where are you going, boys?' Mr.. Geb-
hard asked.
I'VE are going to call on some ladies'"
was the reply.
MIR. Gebhard made an incredulous retort
which was couched in far from compliment.
tary language, and Mr.. Sanford reioined:
II tell you, sir, that We are going to en- |
on some ladies. We may call on Mrs.
Langtry fora you know"
You are a - liar!" cried Mr.. Gebhard
Mr.. Sanford stepped up to him and struck
him two savage blows, right hand and left.
on the face and neck. They were not re-.
turned. Mr.. Gebhard said: "You shall
hear further from me-" and walked awav.
Last evening Mr.. Gebhard dined at Del.
monico's with Mrs. Langtry. At a table
not very far away sat Mr.. Stafford and his
| friends. Mr.. Gebhard took no notice of
Mr. Sanford's presence. Mr.. Sanford rails
ed his voice to say that he would like to
have Mr.. Gebhard step out into the park
with him. Mr.. Sanford also told several
persons of his acquaintance who were din
ing in the room, including Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Pell, that he had struck Mr.. Geb-
hard in the face the night before.
Mr. Gerhard was at the Union club last
night, and at half past eleven o'clock drove
away in a cab with one friend.

Paupcrs.

Two applications for charity were made
to the mayor yesterday afternoon, both
with every appearance of sincerity.
Mrs. Mclaughlin, needy looki ne indi.
vidual complained that her husband was
slowly succumbing to an asthmatic aff.c-
ton, and that she had neither the funds nor
the ability to crafty his wants. She stated
that death and starvation lowered around
Their cabin. They were sent to the hospital.
Mrs. Joel Phillips averred that she was
stranger in a strange land, and desired to
reach Kansas City, where number of her
relatives reside. She stated that she had col.
lected seven dollars on the streets, but
didn't think the amount was sufficient to
land her in the bosom of her family. Her
husband and three children had died in New
Orleans. she said, a short while since, and
she was thrown upon her own resources for
livelihood. At present she is in deli.
cate condition. The mayor could not fur
nish her money without the consent of
the city council, and she departed. She
claimed that her husband was a printer.
Its the opinion of the reporter that she
will reach her destination without any
great amount of trouble. She is not at all
backward in asserting her circumstances.

Tho Flames of Etna.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Naples, gives some interest.
ing details of the eruption OF Mount .Etna.
AT Reggie and Messina showers of sand
AND lapilli fell. But so dense was the
cloud OF smoke and fine ashes in which the
mountain was enveloped that even AT the
loot OF -Etna. only occasionally, when there
was an opening in the cloud, vast column
of fire could be seen ascending from the
principal crater. The obscurity, however.
In which everything was involved
served TO render the scene more alarm
ing. The eruption commenced on the night
OF the 10th OF March, ana from 5 o'clock in
the morning till 6 O'Clock ON the following
morning ninety-two undulating shocks OF
earthquake were felt. They continued
after that time, though with less violence
Till, on the night OF the sd, two terrible
shocks were felt at Nicolosi, and another on
the night of the sd. 1t would appear tina,
this great commotion was the prelude 10 d
yet greater eruption, and, indeed, eleven
new mouths were opened above Nicolosi
which vomited forth sand, scorin, lapill
and dense smoke with fearful roarings
The activity of these mouths is moi
very great, which is regarded as nm
indication Of yet greater disasters
Many families have abandoned the points
most threatened, as Nicolosi and Belpasso
but those who remain sleep in the open air
and the troops who have been sent are en-
gagged in erecting tents, or breaking dowr
walls and houses in danger of falling
Great exertions are made to keep tn,
people from the churches, which, OH the oc
casion OF such awful events, are ALWAYS
sure to be crowded. A sense of security /,
felt within these sacred buildings, though
there is no place where there is greater in
security. Happily, no human victims ar,
reported up to the 23d, and it may be ex
planned by the fact that shocks of earth
quake occurred principally by day, whel
people were on the alert. But mnch dam
age has been done TO property. In som,
small villages on the middle of the noun,
tain houses, have been thrown down, and a
little chapel at Macchia has fallen. At Xaf
iarana six houses were ruined, and tn,
facade of the church, while the barracks o
the Carbineers were assured. Other
churches and houses are reported to hay,
been damaged but II would be an endless
task to note all, Wherever buildings ar
in a dangerous state orders are given 10 de
molish them directly. Further inteli
gence is anxiously expected; for though
there was a short cessation of the shocks
and people In some places were resumin
their usual occupations, the mountain wa
discbarging its contents abundantly, an,

Alexander ILL.,, car Of all the Russas is
is the second son OF Alexander H., and WAS
born March 10, 1915. His mother was the
Princess Maria, daughter of the late grand
duke of Hesse Darmstadt. He was well
educated at the Russian universities. and
in 1865, in consequence of the death of his
eldest brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas,
he married the daughter of the king OF
Denmark, the Princess Maria Dagmar, to
whom the deceased prince had been be
trothed. Four children have been the re
suit of this union.
The nihilist conspiracy has confined the
attention of the cars government to home.
affairs. His attitude toward Germany il
one of friendship, and his aim has been to
maintain amicable relations with foreign
powers. Still, he represents the feeling
that is intensely and exclusively Russian
sentiment which might give more posi-
tive coloring to his foreign policy were he
free from danger OF domestic revolution.
Nihilists are punished with unrelentipg
severity, and at times the government s
repressive measures seem on the verge OF
success, but 1t is only in appearance The
national strength is paralyzed by this in
ternal malady. Only the dread of dyna.
mite plots could have occasioned this un.
paralleled delay of the coronation cere-
mony for more than two years. And now
that the event is to occur, the car IL !
credited with great courage in so far BRAY
ing nihilistic attacks as to be publicly
crowned.
The private property of the emperor
yields him large annual revenue. He
possesses million square miles of cultivat
ed land and forest, besides owning god and
other mines IN Siberia, the vast revenue o.
which is not known, as, being the EN-
peror's personal estate the amount never
appears in the budget. The sum arising
from all these sources is estimated, how
ever, at over $l2 100000 of which sun
2,0OO,0 600 are expended in charities, school,
and theatres, leaving net income o
$l0,000,000.
The present car is the seventeenth of hi
house. The following is the list of the soy
ereigns OF the Romanoff dynasty:

EMPRESS OF RUSSIA.


Maria Dagmsr, the czarina, is the fourth
child of Christian TX, king of Denmark,
and of Louise, daughter of Wilhelm Land
grave, of Hessee- Cassel. She was born
November g. lS47, and is consequently in
her thirty sixth year. The czar's advisers
deemed union with the reigninE family OF
Denmark desirable, and the princess was
betrothed at an early age to the Grand
Duke Nicholas, heir apparent to the Rus
sian crown. But the grand dukes death,
at Nice, In April, 1865, precuded the mar
riage, and to secure the objects sought by
the proposed union, the princess was, at
the expiration of the period of mourning
prescri bed by court OF etiquette, es-
ond son, the Grand Duke Alexander, the
marriage being consumated IN November
1866. On assuming the orthodox Greek
faith, the princess was known as Maria
Feodorovna.
Four children have been the result of this
union, the Grand Duke Nicholas, born May
Is, 1865; Grand Duke George, born May 10
1871; Grand Duchess Xenia, born April lS
1875, and Grand Duke Michael, born De.
cember 5, 1878. 1t will thus be seen that
the House of Romanoff is in DO danger oil
extinction. 1t is in fact prolific race. Be.
sides his four children, the emperor has
three brothers and one sister, who, in a
case Of necessity, could take the crown. Oh
these four younger children OF Alexander
H., the Grand Duke Vladimir is married
and has three sons, while one sister and
three brothers of the late car have tota
of fourteen children.
The imperial family descends in the
femaie line from Michael Romanoif, elected
Car in 1913, after the extinction of the
House of Rurlk, and in the male line from
Karl Friedrich, Duke of lIolstein-G ottorp
who was born in lI01, and married the
daughter of Peter l., the Empress Anne
who re'gned from 1870 to l7i0. All the
subsequent emperors have without excep
ton connected themselves by marriage
with German Protestant families.
The domestic life of the imperial pair Is
said to be happy one, that is as far as they
themselves are concerned. But the Nihil.
lists are source OF constant anxiety and
alarm. The coronation ceremonies on the
9th of May are attended with unseen
dangers. Guards, police and spies are al
every point to detect and arrest conspira
tors before they can consummate theii
deadly work. And yet with all these pre-
cautions, the Car is In constant apprehen'
sion that the tragedy Of March 10, 1881, may
be repeated. II is TO be hoped that thes,
fears may prove to be without foundation
