PERsECUTING A SOPRANO.
Very Strange Procedure of an Eceentri
Toledo Lover.

Very Strange Procedure of an Eccentric
Toledo Lover.
A tremendous sensation in social and
musical circles, says a Toledo { o. special
to the New York lV0rld, has been devel-
oped here. 1t appears that Miss Nevas
Johnston, formerly of Marion, but for a
year or more soprano in the choir of the
First Congregational Church of this city,
has been the victim of an uaencOuraged
lovers prosecutions. Letter after letter
would be received in which were spread
over page after page undying passion and
devotion. Often in choir meeting a note
would be slipped into her hand by some
one. who would Immediately disappear
in the darkness. One evening the mys-
teriOus stranger was roughly hustled out
by the Organist.
The burden of the notes recently was
that she mustnO start for Europe, where
she was going to study, or if she did the
writer would also go. The letters became
so suggestive as to be insulting. few
evenings ago she received a telephone
message telling her she must not 90 to
Europe, and following up this lead she
ascertained who was sending it. This
proved to be a young lawyer by the name
of J. p. Delphi, who, though eccentric,
was always known to be shrewd and per-
sistent in anything he undertook The
letters will be published and will be the
cause of a great stir among the gossips.
Another romantic episode was the ap-
plication of a tall, distinguished-IoOkin
foreigner and a beautiful and apparently
highly accomplished lady for a marriage
license. The former spoke of his large
landed estates in England, which he
wishes to get an attorney to look after
and try to recover. The names given for
the license were Sir Charles Everard Ne
veille, Bart, and Miss Lillian Whitney.

a Merry Jack FaIstaT and How He
Won Suit Brought by a Dress
maker.
\ heavy-set TeutOn, in a striped calico
dress, says the Louisville Commercial,
made an interesting picture in a court
scene before Justice John McCann yester-
day. Annie Smith, a dressmaker, had
sued Joseph lsbert for 50, for cutting,
fitting and making sixteen yards of cOlico.
The dress was intended to be worn by
Mrs. lsbert, but its enormous size sug-
gested that it could be occupied by a whole
colony. For this reason Mrs. Isbert re-
iected the garment. At the trial yester-
day afternoon, Isbert volunteered to put
on the dress to show the court that it was
much too large for him-he weighs 200
pounds-and that it would be impossible
for his wife to wear it. Before the attOr-
neys for theplaintiff had time to offer an
objection, Isbert got on the inside of the
striped calico and stepped before the
Justice.
Looks more like it would fit the Gus
tom house or a steamboat" said Isbert.
| tapping the skirt in front and pinning
it together, to hold it on. Il tell YOU.
Judge, it is an insult to my wife to make
her such a thing as that. A giant couldn't
wear it."
The case was dismissed at the plain
/ tiff's cost.

How a Mad Beast AttaclSed and ImperiI-
ed the Life of His Master.
Monday evening as Mr.. George Hoyt,
of Richland, was returning from Plain
well in a sulky, leading a stallion, says
the Kalamazoo Mich Telegraph, the
stallion attacked him. Mr.. Hoyt sue
ceeded in keeping him at a safe distance
till just as he was crossing Spring brook,
which is about fifty rods from his house.
Here the stallion seized Mr.. II. by the
arm with his teeth, and drew him from
the sulky and commenced a furious fight
with him, biting large pieces of flesh from
his arm and severely bruising his body.
Mr.. H., a powerful man, by the way, kept
a strong hold upon the ferOcious ANIMAL
or probably he would have been soon
killed. Mr.. Barker, who was near by,
started for his gun to shoot the horse
Meantime Miss Nettie HOyt, hearing the
cries Of her father, ran to his rescue with
a pitchfOrk, and, notwithstanding the
warning of her father not to come near,
as the horse would kill them both, she
made such good use Of the sharp fork
tines that the beast gave up the battle,
leaving Mr.. II. almost exhausted and the
flesh on his right arm lacerated and chewed
to jelly from his shoulder to his elbow.
On Wednesday gangrene set in, and the
attending physician decided that in order
to save Mr.. IS life all of the bruised
flesh must be removed. This was at once
done, but Mr.. II. did not show signs of
improvement. On Friday DR.. Hitchcock
amputated the right arm at the shoulder,
and at this writing Mr.. HIS condition is
considered very critical.

Information They Obtained.
Some time ago, says the st. Louis Post
DjSpotch, a party of st. Louis gentlemen
departed for Hot Springs, Ark, for a
season Of rest and relaxation. At least
two of them had overworked themselves
in an official capacity in putting down
gambling and otherwise purifying the
moral atmosphere of the town. After
they had relaxed for some time, one sug-
gested that they examine into this game
of poker, against which they had made
such a crusade at home.
\ couple of Arkansas gentlemen were
appealed to, and that same evening the
first lesson was given to the lambs Every
body had plenty of money and a theoreti-
cal knowledge Of the game, and during
the first two hours, as the st. Louis party
expected, some $4OO had passed from Ar
kansas to Missouri. Then a ten-dOllar
pot was passed out into a jack pot and
everybody, of course, came in. One of
the 81. Louis officials who sat next the
dealer opened his hand and beheld three
beautiful queens. He dropped $50 worth
of blue chips into the pot, "just," as he re-
marked, 'as starter" His neighbor.
another st. Louis man, ''made it a hun
dred." Arkansas made it two hundred.
the dealer and the hOtel-owner dropped
out, and the three players went on with
great deal of nerve. The man with the
three queens simply called, and the St.
Louisan who had an ace-full pat toyed
with the game for another hundred. Ar
kansas sent it up hundred more. and the
three queens man stayed once more.
The process was continued until each
gambler had 500 on the table, and the
cards were drawn. The official caught
another queen, aud his friend and Arkan-
sas stood pat. He bet one dollar; when it
came back to him it had been lifted ST. 900
more. He made it $1,000 more. The ace
fun called and Arkansas lifted vet one
more thousand. Out of a sentiment of
pity st. Louis called, at the same time
laying down upon the green baize his pic
ture gallery of queens, face up. Ace-full
sighed sadly and inserted his hand in the
deck. Arkansas examined each queen
and the other card, lest there should be
five of them, passed his hand over to Mis-
souri, and begin hiving in the money. 1t
was four kings uDOn which he had guile
