New YORK, May 22.-For several days
reports have been current in Wall street
that Mr.. Jay Gould had disposed of large
block of Western Union telegraph stock to
an English syndicate. A certain color of
fact has been impaired to these reports by
cable dispatches from London, asking if
such transaction had taken place, The
inquiries may, however, have been
inspired by local manipulators, for that is
a device to which Wall street operators fire.
quently resort. According to the reports
Mr.. Gould had sold anywhere from $4,000
to 100000 shares, and the
prices mentioned ranged from
65 to Is, or from 5 to Is points below the
market. These reports were revived to-
day, and Mr.. Gould was asked if there was
any basis in fact for them. He replied:
Il haven't any stock for SALE" He went
on to say that he had received bid of so
for a part of his holdings, and had re-
jected the offer. Mr.. Gould said that he
understood that some Western Union had
been bought for foreign account in the
market, and he presumed the reports orig
mated from these purchases. That was
the only basis he knew for them.

New YORK, May 22.-Mr. Duncan Har-
rison sought out Mr.. George Alfred
Townsend, "Gath," at the Grand hotel in
Broadway last evening to demand an ex-
PLANTATION or secure satisfaction, Mr.. Har-
rison stoutly alleged against Mr.. Townsend
that he had written in the Philadelphia
Times something to the disparagement of
a Miss Maude Harrison, who is sister of
Mr. Harrison. Mr.. Townsend returned an
ambiguous reply. Mr.. Duncan Harrison
was Immediately inspired to ask Mr..
Townsend to assist him in surveying the
neighboring sidewalk. Mr.. Town
send, moving to lend him his aid
as readily as a stout person can, was
forthwith surprised by confusion of his
right cheek and subsequent display of
'stars" that undoubtedly surprised him.
Mr.. Townsend was Immediately removed
to his own quarters by friends, and Mr..
Harrison decamped. 1t is said that as
soon as Mr.. Townsend gets the beefsteak
off his right eye he will abandon theatrical
journalism to correspondents of stouter
physique and more active pugilistic de,
livery.

his sons whereabouts A few DAYS ago
the probate court issued a citation on the
estate of Charles w. Ford, of which Chester
Krum Is administrator. He has also failed
to report in the estate of Daniel w. Dell.
of which he is also administrator. Under
these circumstances Mr.. Krum's disappear
ance if it may be so called, causes much
comment. He is one of the best known
lawyers of st. Louis, a prominent Repub-
lican, was appointed United States dis
trict attorney by President Grant, and
was subsequently elected Judge of the
circuit court here. This position he
resigned, however, in order to act as coun-
sci for defendants in the celebrated whisky
trials of several years ago. The whole
affair of his disappearance or absence is
involved in much mystery and the reti-
cence of his family and friends is regarded
as very singular, to say the least. He was
engaged in several important lawsuits
here, to attend to which his presence is alb
solutely necessary. There are ugly rumors
that he has lost several thousand dollars
playing poker lately, but of this there is
no direct evidence. Mr.. Krum is married
and has large family of children.

BALTIMORE, Md, May % Several weeks
ago Margaret Nichols, beautiful quad
room girl living in Preston, Caroline
county, died as was supposed, from the eff
fects of drug administered by herself.
Soon after there were rumors of foul play,
and the name of a prominent resident of
Caroline county was mentioned in con
nection with the case. The body was dis
inferred and Prof. Tarey called on to
make an examination of the stomach.
After careful investigation arsenic has
been discovered in large quantities, and
report to that effect will be made to the
authorities Wednesday.
The girl was iu delicate condition at the
time of death. Complaining of chills,
her family recommended some simple
remedies, such as herb tea. She complained
of feeling worse. Later in the evening her
father came into her room, and saw her
mixing some white powder with molasses.
She refused at first to say what it was or
where she got it, but finally confessed that
white gentleman gave it to her. Within
few hours after she took the dose she
died. Prof. Tarey is now engaged in an
alyzing two bottles containing suspicious
liquids which were found in the girls bed
room. The case promises to be very IN
teresting.

country early with his parents and settled
at Louisville, Ky. About twenty years ago
he came to Minnesota, coming to St.
Paul some fifteen years ago, where he has
since resided. At first he was a man about
town, having quite sporting fancy, being
especially fond of pugilism, of which he
was quite an apt scholar. He used to be
particularly fond of boasting of his pow
ers, but was never considered a quar-
relsome man, only when in liquor. In later
years he has followed his trade, black
smithing, with moderate industry, though
occasionally INDUCING in a spree. Not
withstanding his life he has many strong
friends, who speak of him as one who
would never knowingly do a person an
injury, and who always stood ready to lend
a helping hand to the needy. He is fifty
years of age, and has wife and three sur

socialism In Europe and America.

Geneva correspondent of London news.
paper, in commenting upon the growth of the
socialist movement in Europe, and especially
in Switzerland, attributes the danger less to
want or oppression than to the operation of
an educational system which does not edu.
cate IN the true or high sense, but stops short
at dissemination of that "little knowledge"
which is ga dangerous thing" The spread of
crude ideas under such system, the at
tempted repression of certain rabid and incen-
diary publications which really insures them
wider, even though surreptitious influence,
and the increasing disposition to envy the
rich growing out of distempered quality of
enlightenment, are in brief the causes t.
which he attributes the evil. While "want"
and "hunger" and "destitution and "op
preston" are the cant words that for
ever toss upon tho surface of its agita,
tion, none of the things which these words
represent arc alarmingly prevalent, nsr
nearly 30 comrlon as they were few
years ago. Nor can it be said that
they are words that rise by habit
from those whose efforts have mitigated the
things themselves, for such amelioration as
the later years have brought to the condi-
tion Of European working people has come
from causes entirely apart from and inde-
pendent of the socialist. The correspondent
recently attended meeting of agitators in
large beer cellar at Geneva, where there was
much talk of starvation and misery from
men all Of whom were we'll ted,
we'll dressed, and in nowise to be
distinguished from the bourgeoise class
they were denouncing save by the red badges
they wore. 1t is from these evidences of a
cause more deeply seated than anything visi-
BILE to the ordinary observer, that he argues,
with much show of clearness, that the threat
to society is more serious than it appears, and
that tho real danger of socialism has yet to
develop itself.
Admitting the truth of his view--and there
seems TO be no reason for disputing it-thero
is still another side, in contemplation of
which socialism in itself is not without strong
justification. Not that any excuse can be
offered for such malcontent and mouthing
creatures as those who constituted his beer
cellar meeting. Labor is heavily bound
down in every country of Europe, and the
poor are hopelessly poor so long as
class rule and the semi-serf state continue.
To right great and incrusted wrongs violent
upheavals have heretofore been necessary,
and may be again. The danger that the new
revolution will burst in blood upon the old
countries lies in the iron and unreasoning
methods taken TO deal with its earlier stages.

Mexican Mining Claims.

general land Office of entries upon the mines
known as the Santa Rita del Cobre, in New
Mexico, consisting Of forty-fve lode claims
entered by ID. Ii. Moffat, jr., and patents will
accordingly issue in favor of the mining
claimants.
Attempt was made to secure recognition of
an alleged Spanish grant, covering about nine
square leagues of these mines and adjoining
lands, but the surveyor general having held
that there was not sufficient basis to demand
his consideration and authorize withdrawal
of the lands, and Hayes having-originally
prosecuted his claim and sold interests in the
same under the United States mining laws, it
is held that he waived prosecution of any
possible private claim, and must be bound by
his election to claim only the usual possessory
rights Of miners upon the public lands.

THE commissioners have been little in.
consistent in refusing tho Jockey club per-
mission to hang banner across the avenue,
while allowing the Union Veterans to float
theirs to the breezes of Seventh street, but
it is an inconsistency that meets with pop
ular approval. There is no reason why the

banners. While the Jockey clubs banner
would not permanently impair the beauty of

dent for every organization or individual

How Not 70 PnH Taxes.


stave Off the payment of taxes due was first
started as q sort of bluff. Nothing was left
untried, when the distillers and the men in
the trade carrying heavy stocks were here
to get an extension of the bonded period
they proposed, to show the members of the
ways and means committee, and through
them congress and tho country, that to col
loct the tax close up to each date on which it
should become due would be impossible, and
this proposition to export was one of the
ways out The plan originated, IL is under
stood, with Wharton, the Louisville law
yer. The old heads in the business
wagged and intimated that IL was
all right as a bluff, though in
fact IL would be feasible only with the over
loaded dealers in Baltimore, New York, and
Boston. This was when the bills chances
did not seem hopeless. After its defeat the
exporting notion was taken up in earnest
and the men carrying stocks that were
threatening to break them looked toward
Canada. They were too cautious over there
thought it was helping the whisky men to
keep back some revenue from the govern
ment. Then they felt around little in
Mexico. There was lack of railway facilities,
too great distances, and no warehouses. So
they came back to the Bermuda scheme, and
have begun so earnestly to send their whisky

finds it necessary to send out a
circular reproducing the old export law of
1874 and its modification by the act of 1879,
in order to be sure of the proper markings on
the barrels or packages" (for legally bar
rel of whisky is u package, through some
unknown reasoning), and also the proper re-
gapging OF course it is trick to make
time, with chance Of evading the payment
of the whisky tax altogether but il comes
within the law, and has to be treated as
gravely and with as much attention as though
the original revenue law had been made OK
pressly for allowing the distllers and dealers to
load up and back off into deep water in an
emergency. 1t will increase the business of
the export branch of the revenue office, and
perhaps change the name of that division to
"The Legal Evasion Branch" Happily, the
money is not particularly needed, owing to
the fact that congress did not reduce the rev.
enue SO much as it might safely have done by
several millions. Probably the next law will
be made so as to allow for moro ease in the
payment of the taxes by making them pay
able when the goods go into consumption, and
fewer facilities for evasion. 1t seems like an
idle use of mercantile machinery to be car
ryng whisky around the world with no moro
reasonable motive than to get rid of paying
