A TELEGRAM A RARITY.
The Excitement Brought About by
Nice Young Mans Message.
From Tie Balsimore A American, Ddc, 10.

From the Baltimore American, Dec. 10.
A very nice young man spent most OF
the hot days of last August at a wind
swept retreat in the Atlantic Highlands
of New Jersey. Atlantic Highlands,
after the summer has gone away, is a
tired little village OF 500 souls. Nobody
ever comes there, and nobody ever goes
away during the winter months. The
village goes to sleep as soon as the leaves
begin to turn, and hibernates until the
sea at the foot of its cliffs becomes warm
enough to battle in it. Then the summer
lOiterers pour iu again, and buckbOards
and village carts enliven the place with
kind OF Coney Island jollity.
This nice young man, when he was
there last summer, met one OF the rustic
beauties of the place. He came back to
his work in the city, but the witchery Of
her brown eyes came with him. He
wrote, and she asked him TO call during
the winter. So yesterday he sent tele-
gram, telling her that he would call dur
ing the day.
1t was the telegram that caused the
trouble. The village was unaccustomed
to kilograms. 1t startled the community.
1t was too much for the nerves Of that
quiet place. SomehOw-nObody ever will
know just how'll minutes after the mes
sage clicked into the office every person
in town new that young Blake was
coming to see Miss Trevette. Every
young lady of the town made up her mind
to catch glimpse of this rash young man
who sent kilograms, and every man deter
mined to be there TO see that everything
went smoothly.
Now, this nice young man was
modest young man. 1t was with some
misgiving that he drove over the hills to
the Highlands. And when be did get
there ne determined to sneak quietly to
the home of bis friend. That was his pro-
gramme. He knew there were only $50
people in the village, and ne thought no
one would know except the girl with the
brown eyes.
The carriage drew up in the main street
of Highlands. The nice young man got
out in the middle of great crowd. There
were 400 villagers gathered TO receive
him. She was the only one that remained
at home. The entire village looked on
while he paid the driver SIS for the trip
from Red Bank. Then he asked the way
to her house, and marched up to the home
OF the brown-eyed beauty at the head of a
procession of 499 interested individuals
determined to have fun at any cost. She
saw the procession coming up the hill,
and sent word that she was not at home.
So, like the King of France, he marched
down the hill again. He Will not 90 to
Highlands next summer.

From The NancAester Guardian


To return to the elder branch Of the
Parnell family. The first Lord Congleton,
the great roadmaker, had a numerous
progeny by his two wives. One of his
daughters, Lady Henry MOOres, was a
well-knOwn member Of Irish society,
mother of the present Marquis of DrOghe-
da. Another married DIR. Longley, at that
time as her friends remarked disparag-
ingly) ''only a schOOlmaster." "Never
fear" said Miss Parnell confidently. che

no bishoprics vacant ?" ssThen thew will

afterward the See OF Ripon was created,
and DIR. Longley appointed thereto. He
used to tell charming gentlemen that he

There are Cor were in his time) IN the
front, two ornamental statues OF angels on
on each side the entrance. Walking with

the order of the Garterp Nonsense;
what do you mean?n "Why these angels
of yours have distinctly got garters, on

On examination 1t was discovered that
they had been originally statues of the

We found a native cafe where two
Ghawazi girls we're languidly dancing
before the usual audience OF lOw-class
Arabs and negro connolsseurs. One, clad
in scarlet, was novice OF no skill; the
other--gracetul and clever, with beauti-
full face OF the old Egyptian type, worn
hard and marked by a lite OF vice-was
prettily dressed in wide trousers of purple
and gold, a spangled jacket and head
dress Of coins and beads, with a jingling
girdle of silver amulets. Asked IL she
could perform foru us the "balance dauce,0
she consented to exhibit that well-known
Egyptian pas for the modest consideration
OF u. and bottle OF English beer.
The cork being drawn a lighted candle
was fixed in the neck Of the bottle, which
was then placed upon the crown OF her
black and glossy little head. A carpet
was then spread upon the sand. and ex-
tending her arms, armed with castanets
and singing in high but not unpleasing
voice 10 the accompaniment of a dara-
bouka and rabab, she swayed her little
body In gentle rythmical motions TO the
words OF her song and the measured beat
of the musicians, 81 am black, but IL is
the sun Of thy love which has seorched
me! Send me the rain OF help from thy
pity. am thirsting for thee"
The Ghawazi began with words OF this
tenor, keeping exact time TO her strain
with foot and hand and the tremors of her
thrilling, slender frame, now slowly turn
ing round, now softly advancing and re-
ceding, now claspiOg her hands across
her bosom or pressing them 10 her fore
head-but perpetually keeping the bottle
and lighted candle in perfect
equilibrium upon the crown OF
her head. Suddenly she sank, with
change OF accompaniment 10 the
ground, and maintaining not only the
completest harmony OF her movement.

Forced to Confess.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Last night drunken
man, who said his name was Wilson, gave
himself up at the Twelfth street police sta
ton and told horrible story of murder he
had committed in Philadelphia. The man
being under the influence Of liquor the Off
GERS paid but little attention to
his confession. To-day. however, the
man while perfectly sober repeated his
story and insisted upon its truthfulness so
earnestly that he will be held until the mat
ter is investigated. He says that about a
year ago he got into an alteration with
Anthony Daily on Chestnut hill. Phila-
delphia, about a business matter, and upon
Days becoming violent, he struck him on
the head with an axe. killing him instantly.
To hide his crime he dragged the
body several hundred feet and threw
it into the WissahickOn river where it re-
mained two months before being discov-
cred. When the body was taken from the
water it was identified, Wilson says, as
that of man named Staple, who had dis

he fled after committing the murder. and

elude imaginary captors, determined upon

Natural Phenomenon.

Specld 10 Jn6 OlOD6.
RALEIGH, n. c., Oct. 4.-There is great
excitement in Long Acre township, Beaufort
county, in regard to an alarming natural
phenomenon which is rapidly developing
itself. The night of Sept. Is shocks Of
great violence were felt in that vicinity.
The scene of the disturbance was in the vi
cinity of Shiloh church. A coiored man
who lives near by, who was awake the
night mentioned says he felt trembling
Of the earth very perceptibly, and the fol-
lowing morning it was discovered that a
mysterious chasm had made its appearance
directly across the public road, near the
church, measuring foot in width and
hundred yards in length. The news
soon spread in the community and num-
Der of excited persons were present in a
short time. 1t was observed that the chasm
was gradually widening and extending it's
course, showing that some unusual con-
vulsion of nature was in progress. The
chasm is assuming very serious proper
tions. 1t has now deviated from its former
course, crossing small embank-
ment and running in zig-zag line about fifty
yards from the church. Several attempts
have been made to obtain an idea of the
depth but have been unsuccessful. There
are various cOnjectures as to the origin of
such an unusual state of things. Some at
tribute it to an upheaval of the earth, and
others pronounce it a precursor of the ap-
preaching day Of Judgment.

Says an exchange: 1.-THE American as
sociation will next season offer cash prizes
as follows: The winning club to get So, 900;
second, 1,500, and third, 81, 600, to be di-
vided among the players. 1t is believed
this will have the effect of making them
work harder and play with greater zeal and
vim, which would make the games still
more exciting and interesting.
The Athletic club will play six exhibition
games away from home in October. The
dates arranged are as follows: Oct. and
s, at Newark; 9, at Wilkesbarre; II, at
Williamsport; 12, at Trenton. The series
of five games with the Philadelphia club is
to begin on Oct. Is.
The Athletic club players will be released
for the season on Oct 25. The Philadel-
phia club players are engaged until the end
of October.
Hofford and Ringo have signed with the
Pittsburg club. Hofford wouldn't sign un-
less Ringo was engaged to catch for him.
AO'Buen will play at short-stop for the
/ thletic club during Houck's suspension,
Milligan and Siffel doing the catching.
Siegle has played in exhibition games
since joining the Philadelphia club, and
Harry Wright says he will do.
Pyle, pitcher, and Greenwood, second
baseman, of the Virginia club, have signed
with Newark.
The postponed Athletic-Brooliyn game
will be played on Oct. 3.

FOiIed q Bogus Prince.


NEW YORK, Oct. Aug. 26 Zacharie
Zacharoff and young woman of excellent
family and position of this city were mar
ried. 4 business man of Philadelphia who
was formerly a resident of Bris-
tol, England, was reminded of a
certain supposed Prince Zacharias
Bisilius Zacharoff who fioUrshed in Bristol
ten years ago and who married the daugh-
ter OF tradesman of that city. The prince
started on a wedding tour with his wife
and was arrested on d serious Grim
inal charge III Belgium. Some time
atterward the prince made himself very OBJ
noXious about the house of his father-in-
law and got into some sort of a legal Scrape
with him about something. The Philadel-
phia man knew the prince well in his Bris-
tOl career, and had supposed that he was
killed some years ago in Persia. He began
TO investigate. and ascertained that his old
acquaintance and the bridegroom were one.
He communicated with the family of the
bride and the result was ZacharOf was
called upon TO make an explanation. He
had nothing to explain, SO he said. He was
very angry at the charges made against
him. He knew nothing of these Bristol af-
fairs. and in fact his accuSer must be a
lunatic. Count Zacharotf, as he was some
from his wife few days until he could
prove that he was what he claimed to be.
The Philadelphia man, acting in the inter-
est OF the family, consulted LAWYER and
gave the legal man such points as led him
10 believe that trip TO Bristol would be
advisable. The Philadelphia man agreed
TO go along and pilot the lawyer around,
and the pair set sail for Liverpool on the
SerVla Sept. ,. In the meantime Zacharoff
consulted counsel. He related the
false charges which had been brought
against him and described the position he
was in as concerned his wife and her fam
lily. Counsel advised him to 90 to Bristol
with his wife and face his accusers and
then and there prove his innocence. Zach
arotf evidently thought the advice, with
some notifications. was good, for the day
that his prosecutor sailed for Liverpool on
the Servia he and his wife sailed for Rotter-
dam on the Leerdam. What arguments he
employed
TO INDUCE THE YOUNG WOMAN
toaccOmpany him to that port are not known.
1t was discovered that they had gone, how
ever, and when AIr. jerks and his assist
ant reached Liverpool they found waiting
them a cablegram telling of the flight of the
pair. They telegraphed to a Bristol law
yer luhIecudt0l4' So Wei pOSteu was tIlt
Philadelphia man as to the ground to be
covered. and so promptly did the Bristol
lawyer and some local detectives act in the
matter, that in few hours they had
all the evidence they wanted of
the princes career, and proof positive,
through photographs of the count that he
and the prince We're one. To hunt up the
first wife in London was the work Of only
a few hours more, and Wednesday, Sept.
16, Mr.. jerks, accompanied by the Phila-

delphia man, the first wife, her brother and
a detective officer, crossed over to Rotter-
dam well armed with documents. The
Leerdam had not arrived, and the party
proceeded to the Office of the American con-
sui and took counsel with him. 1t was ar
ranged that
ON ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP
the consul should send an invitation to
Zacharoff and his wife to meet him in his
office, as the count was presumably ac-
Quainted with the fact that there is no eX-
tradition treaty between Holland and the
United States. it was thought that he would
have no hesitation in complying. The
plan worked well, and soon after the arTi-
val of the Leerdam, Sept. 19, Zacharoff, or
Mr.. Schwart, as he had styled himself on
the passenger list, accompanied by the
young woman, presented themselves at the
consulate. In moment the American
lawyer and Philadelphia informant entered
the room, followed by the first wife and her
brother and the detective. ZacharOff for
moment attempted to frown down this for
midable array of witnesses. but it was no
use, and he was fairly forced to acknowl-
edge the true state of affairs. He left the
consulate hurriedly after acknowledging
that the game was up. The wife was very
much overcome by the turn of affairs
and tainted. She was treated with all
possible kindness, and made immediate
preparations to return. Mr.. jerks and his
Philadelphia assistant. accompanied by the
young woman, reached Liverpool in time to
| sail for New York on the steamer Gallia,
Sept. 26, and are expected to arrive here
Monday. There is one small source of sat
| isfaction in the affair, and that is that Zach
| arOtf secured no part Of the young woman's
fortune, which is considerable.
