Disorderly House Raided.

AvERILL, Mich, March 21.-The Sheriff
Of Clare county captured and brought to
Midland Jail yesterday Jim Carr, proprietor
Of tbs" Devils Rancho" a house ofili-repute,
near Harrison, where Jenny Kinney, one
of the inmates, was reported to have been
SO brutaly treated that committee of cit
liens and officers investigated the matter.
Five girls were found without clothing
enough to appear out of the house, and,
when offered protection by the citizens,
gladly avaled themselves of it, and now
narrate the most horrible tales of savagerv.
including details of two murders committed
within the past year. One man killed was
salesman who had $500 with him, and the
other was an inmate Of the house who tried
to escape The facts had been known to
the girls ell along, and were held over them
As a warning Of their fate if they should
attempt to escape or give information. The
grand jury at Harrison found FIVE indict-
ments against Carr, two of which are for

THE COUPON CASES.

Five of the coupon tax cases from this
State, viz, Poindexter against GreenhoW;
White against Greenhow; Carter against
Greenhow; Moore against Greenhow, and
CbaGin against Taylor, came up for argu-
ment in the United States Supreme Court
Yesterday afternoon. They all present the
question OF the effect of q teuder for taxes
of the coupons of the State of March 30,
1871, and the right of the Virginia taxpayer
to bring suit for damages against the Tax
collector for levyipg on his property after q
tender of such tax receivable coupons. In
the first three cases the State collector OF
taxes pleads in justification of his levy the
act of the General Assembly of January &c,
1882, and the 18th section of the act OF
April /, 1882 and in the fifth case he pleads,
in addition, the third section of the act Of
March ID, 1884 None of the cases are suits
to compel directly the receipt of coupons
by the tax collector. They are all suits to
recover damages for levy upon property
after tender of coupons.
Mr.. VIM. l.. Royal who opened the ar
eument for the bondholders, stated the
point at issue as follows: while the State
of Virginia admits that she cannot repudi-
ate her coupons outright, she claims that
she may temporarily suspend their tax
paying power whilst she makes inquiry
and satisfies herself that the coupons
offered are really her coupons and
not simulated coupons; and that, pend
may compel the taxpayer to pay bis tax in
coin, to be returned to him when she is
satisfied that the coupons offered are really
hers The creditor denies this. He insists
that her contract is not contract that she
will receive the coupon ten days after it is
offered, or any other number of days after it
is offered, but that she will receive it Whep
it is offered"
Mr.. F. S. Blair, the States attorney, main
tanned, first, that the declarations and bills
in all the cases were insufficient in law !;
second, that the courts below had no pos
sible jurisdiction of any Of them; third, that
it is q fundamental principle in all sovereign
ties that State cannot be sued at all un-
less she consents to be sued, and that the
State of Virginia had not consented to be
sued in any of the modes adopted in these
cases, or in any of the courts in which they
were brought; fourth, that the subject mat
ter of all the suits is the collection of the
public revenue of Virginia, and the receipt
of her coupons therefor, and for this addi-
tional reason the courts below should not
have entertained them; 9th, that the writs
of error and appeals in each of these cases
should be dismissed, as the amount in each
is less than $1,000, the jurisdictional sum
necessary for this court; sixth, that the
parties plaintiff and defendant are all resi-
dents OF the same State, and no such con-
stitutional questions arise in any of the
cases as will justify the interposition of this
court. The argument will be continued on
Monday.

The Madison Mystery.

The excitement over the finding of the
body of Fanny Madison in the reservoir at
Richmond, is so great that it is the one
theme OF conversation at home, on the bust
ness exchanges and at the clubs in that city.
The betrayed girl was an earnest member Of
the Baptist church, as is also Thomas J.
Cluverius, the young lawyer who is charged
with her murder. The girls funeral took
place yesterday. There was no ceremony
either at the chapel or grave, and her re-
mains were simply followed by her aged
father and nearest relatives, who wept bit
terly when they were consigned to Oakwood
Cemetery. When brought before the Police
Court yesterday morning, CIuyerius was
self-possessed. His right hand, which is
slightly scratched, ths prisoner kept behind
him most Of the time. His demeanor yes
terday and ever since his arrest has been
unobtrusve ana eentlenauly. He bore the
scrutiny of the crowd we'll and seemed
not at all embarrassed. His case was con-
tnued until the 30th. His counsel deciln
ed to let him make a statement before the
coroncrs jury. Many of his former college
| express surprise that the man they knew rs
Smiling Moses" should have been deemed guilty
of such crime The contents Of Miss Madison's
| trunk, which reached Richmond Thursday night.
have not been divulged She had therein two
letters from Culyerius, which the officers allege
contain language and sentiments too revolving
! for publication. The citizens are talking Of get

| aid the Commonwealth's Attorney in prosecuting

custody of the police C!uveriu5 hummed one of
| the gospel hymns. The young man has engaged
IS additional counsel Judge w. W. Crump, the
greatest criminal lawyer in the State. The col
ored barber at the hotel where Miss Madison
stopped last Friday was in court yesterday, and
| pointed out the prisoner az the man he saw come
| to the hotel amt leave with Miss Madison the
| same evening. Cluverius yesterday stated that
he did not see Miss Madison at all during his visit
| here last week.

Tbs Oklahoma Country.

hEKANsas CITY, Kan, Mar. 2l.-Geueral
Hatch has received word BY courier, from
the Sac and Fox agency, $50 miles south
east ofhcre that large body Of colonists
passed that point on the 10th instant en-
route to Oklahoma, and that the main body,
consisting Of about $50 persons, were from
Cohtyviie, Kansas. Capt Deweese with
tour companies Of the 9th cavalry, is scout
ing in that portion Of the territory, and n
courier has been dispatched to him to inter.
cept this colony if possible before it reaches
Oklahoma and to turn it back Should the
colonists reach Oklahoma, il is understood
their stock will not be destroyed but that
they will be compelled TO leave. These
men left the Kansas line before President
Cleveland issued bis proclamation, and they
know nothing about it, but Gen. Hatch be
lieves Deweese will be able to get between
them and the Oklahoma country by forced
marches and thus compel them to turn
about without even having had glimpse of
the land Deweese, however, was on the
1Ith instant, one hundred miles north of the
Sac ard Fox agency with his battalion, and
it looks as if the colonists might beat him in
the race to the Cimarron river, where it was
intended to enter Oklahoma

MARIE VAN ZANDT's TRIUMPH.-There
was sensational scene at the Opera Com
ique, in Paris, yesterday, when Miss Van
Zandt came upon the stage as the heroine in
"Lakme." Last Wednesday night she ap-
peared in Paris for the first time since the
incident Of last November, when she was
attacked with vertigo while singing in the
BARBER of Seville" The boulevard critics
ascribed her sudden illness to intoxication,
and Miss Van Zandt promptly sued them
for SANDER. The suits are still in the
hands of the lawyers but it was be-
lieved that the whole incident had
been forgotten, and when Miss Van ZanGt
appeared last Wednesday night she was
rapturously applauded. Since then the
boulevard journalists have organized 3 hes
tile force, and yesterday evening they had
clique stationed in the gallery Of The Opera
Comique. As soon as Miss Van Zandt APP
peared upon the stage, singing as she came,
this clique began Kissing with all the power
of its lungs. The male portion of the audi
ence in the lower portion of the house arose
and vigorously protested against the inter
ruption of the opera, but the uproar was so
great that the curtain had to be lowered.
The policemen present elected the disturb
ers, and an inspector of police came upon
the stage in front of the curtain, and asked
the audience if the piece should proceed.
The answer was roar of ouis. The curtain
was quickly rung up, Miss Van Zandt ap.
peared as before, and received an ovation
from the audience, which left last Wednes-
days demonstration quite in the shade.
