In the Hands of the Russian Police

Stepniak, in the Contemporary Review
In Russia every one who has the
misfortune to fall into the hands of
the police as a political offender-no
matter how trivial his ofense may be
is, in ninety-nine cases out of hun
dred, a lost man. The preliminary
detention is made at the arbitrary
pleasure of the prosecution, which in
Russia is another name for the police;
they can arrest and detain whom they
will. No blame attaches to mista-
ken arrest. On the contrary, the
more the arrests the greater the mer-
its of the prosecutor. For instance,
at the time of the trial of the "hun-
dred add ninety three" in 1878, there
were, over and above this number of
accused, about 14C0 persons arrested.
Of these half were set at liberty af-
ter a fewI months, but the re-
mainder were kept in prison during
the whole four years that the case
lasted, save only seventy-fYe who
died, some by suicide, some by con-
sumption, some insane. And in more
recent times, when the white terror

lutionary terrorism, and especially in

MISSING AT THE ALTAR.
The Belle of Long island Village De
serted on the Eve of Her Wedding

The Belle of a Long Island Village De-
serted on the Eye of Her Wedding.
GLEN COVE, L. l., June 12-The
aristocratic society of this village is
considerably agitated, and the gossip
ing public have been furnished a
choice morsel. Miss Ida Monfort is
the recognized belle of the village and
daughter of the superintendent of the
Glen. Cove starch works. Among her
many gentlemen admirers she singled
out Mr.. Edward Lincoln as the one
upon whom to bestow her affection,
and he, to outward appearance, was
happy in gaining her love and hand
in marriage. About two months ago
their engagement was announced and
yesterday set as the day for the cere-
mony. The town was all agog on the
thought of the wedding. A caterer
from New York was engaged and
everything done to make the occasion
a memorable one, The guests had
all assembled in the par
lor and Miss Monfort was up stairs
in her room, arrayed in her bridal
outfit, awaiting the arrival of her
affianced. Hours passed, but no
groom came and the guests became
impatient. The brides eyes filled
with tears as she recognized her po-
sition. Messengers were dispatched
all over the village, but he could not
be found. One finally returned and
said Mr.. Lincoln had left on the after
noon train with his valise in bis hand.
The guests suddenly departed. All
efforts to console the young lady
proved fruitless.
Investigation revealed another
chapter in the story that has added
fuel to the fire of gossip. On Wednes-
day last Miss Carrie Hall, petite
brunette, and Mr.. George Croft, a
village tradesman, were to have been
joined in wedlock, but she alleging
sickness, the ceremony was postponed
until Monday. On Monday when
Mr.. Croft called to claim his bride,
she could not be fonnd, and it was
learned that she had packed her red
travelling bag and left for parts I'M
known. AS it stands now a bride and
groom mourn the loss of their aft
anced, while another bride and groom
are being eagerly looked for.

Over a door at No. 20 Nassau

Sage of Gramercy Park" when he
was an active participant in so much
important litigation. The old build
ing is still full of traditions of the
old lawyer. who always spoke in a
whisper, and who ambled about so
gently on the tips of his toes. Gen.
Bristow has an Office on the opposite
side of the hall, and one day Mr.. Til
den employed him to attend to law
case. Shortly after, the Kent ekian
stepped into the Office and said: Mr..
Tilden, l dropped in to ask you what

The old man of the sea put his lips

A SAD STORY.

Tuesday evenings train from Sar
Antonio, brought in, among others, {
young womaD of perhaps twenty
years, bearing in her arms foul
months old infant. There were lines
of care about her features that
told of many days of
suffering, and perhaps of
want; and one glance at the wan
white face was enough to convince
one that medical attention was
needed.
The woman gave her name as Mrs.
Clark. She Claims to have lost her
husband, who was a saloon-keeper, in
Arkansas, inst few days prior tosthe
biEth of her babe.
After his burial she went to San
Antonio where she had lady friend,
but upon reaching that city she found
her friend had gone. Having some
money Z left she procured
3 place to board where
she remained for four months after
the birth Of her babe, when her money
gave out. and she was given notice to
eave. Knowing not where to go, she
had made her way here, when she
found herself too sick to go further. |
City Physician DR.. w. j. Burt, upon
hearing her statement, gave heI a per-
nit to enter the hospital here for treat |
nent. If this Woman's story is true, |
II whether it is or not, she is an OBJ
ect of charity, and as such viii doubt |
ess receive the affection of those |
haritably inclined.

THE COURTS.

Judge A. S. Walker, of the district
court of Travis county, yesterday
rendered his written decision in the
important case of s. J. Adams vs.
Houston s. Texas Central railroad
company.
After an elaborate statement of the
facts, with which the public are famil-
lar, the court holds and decides:-
l. That the land sued for at the
time of the location thereof by Adams
& Leonard was not vacant unappro-
priated public domain; the same hav-
ing been appropriated by surveys
previously made by virtue Of valid
certificateS-evidenced in the land Of
flee.
2. That the surveys of the defend
ant applied to the certificates belong
ing to it Graised from surveys made
by mistake upon located land, and,
transferred to the second set of field
notes, in June, 1874 were not void by
reason Of the fact that the certificates
were not withdrawn from the land
Office and then returned with the new
field.notes to the land Office. The IT.
regularity in the surveys was cured
by article 1921, revised statutes Sep
TENDER ], 1879, before the inception of
the claim of plaintiff. The surveys.
etc., of the defendant upon the land
in controversy are held to be valid.
3 Judgment will be rendered for the
defendant.
In the United States court the case
of Schlinger, sueing the capital syndi-
cate for several hundred dollors, alleg-
ed damages to property and business,

skin, letting it drop over his eyes,
binding him completely. In his
frenzy Hill drew his knife. and giving
it sweep in the direction of his an.
tagonist, severed his jugular vein. and
Powell fell dead at his feet. The
neighbOrhood was aroused. and in
the excitement both men were SUM-
posed to be dead. Hills friends gath
cred up his body and carried him hur-
ried over to the Georgia side of the
river, where he would be safe from ar
rrest long enough to enable him TO
make his escape. This he did not do,
however, being too drunk to move.
Thus he fell into the hands Of the
officers. Meanwhile, on the other
side of the river. great
excitement prevailed over the murder.
Another and darker statement is to
the effect that Hill, jealous of Powell.
arranged with his brother for PoWelpS
assassination. When the two men
reached the point where the crime
was to be committed, the assassin
, jumped forth and aimed terrible cut
at Powell, which caused his death. the

CHARLIE AMONG THE GYP-
SIZES.

The Adventures of a Lad who Claims that
He is the Long Lost Son of Mr.. Ross.
From the Quincy Qlls.) Herald
There seems to be undOubted evil
dence that the real lost Charlie Ross is
now in Quincy, where he is spending a
few days with DR.. Kalb prior to being
sent to his parents in Philadelphia.
The unaffected history he gives of
things which occurred at his fathers
prior to and the manner of his being
abducted by the Gypsies as also the
treatment he received for ten years
while a prisoner, and the simple, un-
affected answers he gave to the many
questions propounded by DR.. Kalb
leave no doubt in the mind of DR..
Kalb as to the once lost Charlie Ross
being here. He made his escape from
the Gypsies last fall in Austin, Texas.
He at once began to work his way to
his parents and now, being without
money, he is detained here, but will be
sent to his parents perhaps next week.
He says he has always since he was
stolen, when four or five years old.
thought about himself as being Char
lie Ross. but the Gypsies would not
allow him to go by that name nor to
tell who he was. He was held in
bondage, so he says, for the purpose
OF begging and stealing for the Gyp-
sizes, but the latter he would not do
and for refusing to do so he received
many blows, the scars from which
show on him.

Bolt the Nomination.

The New York Independent, which
has always been steadfast supporter
of the republican party, its nominal
lions and principles, will announce in
its issue of this week that it will not
support the ticket nominated at Chi
cago. 1t says that the party is worth
nothing except as it continues to rep
resent principles and reform. When
it is dead, the quiet, earnest patriots
who have sustained it must bury it.
The Independent prefers to believe
that the party Is sick rather than
dead, and says a defeat may
purge and reinvigorate 1t. The
conscience of true republicans will
surely defeat its unworthy ticket,
and eff the democrats nominate an
exceptional candidate, like Bayard or
Cleveland. they would make the cleo
ton of Blaine impossible, As to the
Chicago ticket, the Independent Will
say: @BIaine and Logan were the
two most Objectionable candidates be-

them of an earnest desire for a single

AN ANEMONE'S LIVE NOR.
Sell,

The Way a Sea-Plant Caught and Began
to Eat Young Halibut.
From the SanIFranclsco Gall.
In one of the departments of the
San Francisco Aquarium, the interior
being plainly visible through the
plate-glaSS front, are a number of sea
anemones, or sea sunfowers, about
three or four inches in diameter, cling
ing to pieces of rock, and among them
several yonng hallbuts. Near the
front, in plain view of the writer,
the other day, was halibut about
four or six inches long, in natural
horizontal position, with his nose just
touching the centre or mouth of the
anemone, apparently feeding. Look
ing closer, it was observed that
the anemone was in motion, and
for a short space it was doubtful
whether the fish or the anemone was
the eater. Presently the Intellectual
struggles of the fish to release himself
denoted his capture. 1t seemed that
the hnny maraader had pushed his
nose against the innocent-looking
mouth of the plant in pursuit of food,
and was caught. The face of the ane-
none which had previously been flat
and circular, like its namesake. the
sunflower. became concave and closed
upon and around the head of the fish,
eiongating itself for the purpose, and
in about five minutes the head was
covered entirely to the gills. While
closing the plant raised the fish to
vertical position. Soon the head was
covered to the gills; its respiration
stopped. AT this iuncture the writer's
pity for the fish prevailed over his Gu
riosity, and he released the prisoner.
In two minutes more it would have
passed, or at least so much of it as
would have answered the purpose,
into food for the anemone.
