than il you had been buying lonr or sugar.

road that you did not pay for at the market
rate. Indeed, am sure that no one received
bonds on any other terms.

yorr bonds, and you held them clear through

THE MoRsISI CASE.


The Daughter Victoria Returns 10
Her Former Home for an Hour.
New YORK, Sept. IA dispatch re-
ceived to-day a. police headquarters from
Captain Mangin, Of the Yonkers police,
states that Victoria Morosini, who eloped
with Ernest j. Schelling, her fathers
coachmau, Voluntarily returned to the
parental mansion at Yonkers, with her
husband, this morning. The return was
the result Of negotiations that have been
pending for two days between the
runaway couple and Mr.. Morosini. Mr..
and Mrs. SohelliDg, who have been stop
ping in Troy since the elopment, took a
carriage at the station and drove to the
Morosini mansion. Mrs. Sohelling en-.
tered the house alone, her husband re-.
manning outside, block away. The
young woman remained indoors for about
an hour.
What occurred inside Ia not certainly
| known, but II Is believed that the grief
stricken parents besouRht their daughter
| to renounce her husband and come back
to their care The father, however, sbso.
lutely refused to recognize SohellinR af
his daughters husband. The daughter
refused to give up her husband and LEFT
the house to rejoin schelling. The
newly married couple then proceeded to 4
hotel on Riverside avenue, where they
passed the night. Mrs. Morosini's con
dition was reported as being extremely
critical In the evening, and her beinG
able to live through the night wal
doubted.
Mrs. schelling was atterward arrested
on charge of larceny, preferred by he
father, the formal charge being that sh
stole from her sister diamond brooch.
Since his daughters elopement Mr.
Morisini has several times spoken Of sell
ing ont and going to Moscow, Russia
where he has an uncle who proposed t
him come time since to ocme there ant

ciliation is not effected 1t is not unlikel,

government as railroad organizer, posi-

Progress OF the suit in the United
States Court at indianapolis.


Progress OF fhe suit tn the United
States Court at indianapolis.
An Indianapolis dispstoh dated Sa'ur-
day says: Judge Woods Of the United
5lRtes oourt, having Ieturned tAs motion
OF the defense In this Blaine. Sentinel libel
suit for rule requiring the plaintiff to
answer tine list OF interrogatories filed with
the Defendants, the Answer to the com
plant In the case came up for argument
Before the attorneys began the court
stated that interrog atories had long been
prohibited In the practice of the courts
Of this United States circuit, aud while
personally he should like to see the rule
changed, he would not take the liberty to
set 1t aside at this time. However, II
with this preliminary statement the at
tornsys desired TO argue the question, he
would listen TO them. Judge Turpie, for
the defense, did desire to be heard aud
spoke at some length. He referred to the
ruling of Judge Woods at the time Of the
demurrer to the complaint WAS under CON-
siderstiop, that Che practice obtained in
the United States courts by act Of Con-
gress and that intsrrogatories being pro
vided for III the code the defense was en-
titled to have rule requiring the plain
tiff to answer. Senator Harrison, In
reply, eontented himself with quoting
decisions to show that the practice had
not been permitted heretofore in
the court, aud at the close Judge Woods
declined TO order the rule. The effect oil
this decision is to leave 1t optional with
the plaintiffs attorneys whether the
interrogAtories shall be answered. Senator
Harrison stated TO Judge Turpie that they
wonld be answered, bnt fixed no time. II
his remarks Judge Turpie charged tn,
delay In the progress Of the case upoi
Mr.. Blaine, saying he could hav'
answered the questions asked nine day
ago. This he reiterated 30 frequently an'
with such emphasis that Mr.. Miller tool
1t up sharply, and the controversy ths
ensued was 40 embittered by personalitis
that Judge Woods was compelled to inter
iere.
Senator Harrison will go TO Kentuok,
next week to oross-examine witnesse
whose dispositions ara taken in the cas-,
He says Mr., Blaine will be present durin
the trial.
Another dispatch says: Several day
ago the attorneys for the Sentinel, In u
suit OF James G. Blaine against tn,
oompsny, submitted series Of interrog
tories to the plaintiff, among them beir
the direct questions as to when an
. where the marriage took place and Il
!, date and place Of the birth Of his fir
child, Slanwood Blaine. To-day the alto
neys for the plaintiff appeared and fill
an objection to them on the ground tn
they were not admissible. The case vi
e argued at length, but the court reius'
TO rule upon 1t. This does not seem
. comport with the aggressive fight on y
case promised at the outset.
