A MODERN MISS FLITE.
An Insane Woman Who Haunts the
Courts of Chicago.
From the Ne,o York Times.

From the Neao York Times.
CHICAGO, June Ga modern Miss Elite
came to light to-day in Judge Collins
court room. Her name is Miss Marion
Leonard. She is a pale-iaced and very
nervous lady Of refined manners and
speech and about 35 years old. Some time
ago she began a suit before Judge Collins
to recover so, 900 damages from Margaret
Heimrod for alleged false imprisonment,
and ever since this suit was decided
against her she has been haunting Jadge
Collins court room, denouncing her at
tOrneys as betraycrs, and demanding to
be heard by the Judge in her own behalf.
Judge Collins always treated her kindly,
but this morning the lady became very
excited when she was refused per-
mission to argue her motion for a new
trial. SO threatening became her Ian
guage, 30 wild her demeanOr, that the
Judge, as well as the Clerk, feared the
woman meant mischief, and they there
fore procured warrant from the County
Court on charge Of insanity. County
Judge PTendergast consented to a preli-
minary hearing at once, and the lady tes-
titled in her own behalf. Although talk
ing quite nationally and intelligently, she
used so much legal language, and spoke so
ing and would institute, that it became
plain that she was suffering from halluci-
nation. She charged that Judge Collins
and his clerks were in conspiracy with
her lawyers to defraud her out of her
rights, but denied having intended to re-
sort to violence when it was intmated
that she might have revolver about her.
Mr.. Shetburn, who has acted as the
lady's attorney, stated that she was q
chronic litigant and suffered from hallu-
cinations which made her insane. Her
principle trouble seemed to be that she
thought she was constantly being follow
ed by man named Johnson, in Brooklyn,
whom she charged with instigating all
the trouble that betel her, and getting up
a regular conspiracy against her. in
which Judge Collins, the court officers
and her lawyers all Joined. While in a
boarding house on Ashland avenue she
slept with hatchet under her pillow, to
be used against Johnson whenever he
attorneys attempts he had never been
able to make her give any description of
johnson or name place where she had
seen him or where he could be met, but
she wanted him TO begin suit against
johnson for 100000. A suit for like
amount she wanted brought against
Lieut.. Shea, of the detective force, who
uhu iockeu neI up LOT Lnfee udys. OOi.
/ Cameron, the City Attorney, and the city
/ too, were all to be sued 500, ,0O0each.
Judge Prendergast committed the lady
| 10 the care OF the matron of the insane
/ department of the county Jail until Mon
/ day afternoon, when the trial is to be re-
sumed. When led out OF court she pro
tested violently against what she termed
fresh outrage, and wanted TO bring a
suit for 100000 damages against Judge
Prendergast and the State of Illinois on
the spot Nobody seems to know who
Miss Leonard is, but she has been fix.
/ ture Of the court rooms for a long while.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.
He VIII Not Deadhead on the Old
Soldiers.

F7on, the Ne1o York World.
/ WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Presidents
decision TO visit Newport will doubtless
draw great crowds there. This is the only
trip that the President intends TO make
during the summer. He has given up
going to the Soldiers Home. He has
probably better reasons for not going to
the home than have yet been made TO APP
pear. Every President who has gone out
to the home in the past has really lived
upon the charity of the old soldiers, and
has never mace any attempt 10 repay
them, The Soldiers Home was founded
by Gen. Scott after the Mexican war.
A certain sum is stopped out Of the pay of
the private soldiers for its support. Fines
for court-martials and the like 90 into this
fund. 1t is a home for the honOraOly dis
charged soldiers Of the regular army. 1t
has no connection or relation with any of
the volunteer homes throughout the cOun-
try. 1t Is entirely self-supporting and re-
ceiVes no aid from Congress in any way.
| t generally has for its commandant some
officer on the retired list, although this is
not absolutely essential. 1t Is governed by
a board OF army officers. These soldiers
own this property as much as any private
estate is owned by any citizen. They
raise their own supplies and make
themselves as comfortable as possible.
The board of officers which has con-
trOlled and governed them and their COM
mandants often takes advantage Of these
old veterans. The families OF these Off
GERS used to be supplied with vegetables
from the soldiers farm. Adjt. Gen. Drum
was the only one of the officers of the
board who never permitted any of these
supplies to come to his house. The funds
of these soldiers have always been spent
under the direction of the officers in
charge without any regard TO the
wishes of the soldiers, as they have no
voice in the direction OF the disbursement
OF their own money. No President can 90
to the Soldiers Home TO stay unless he is
invited by the soldiers. This is in general
but mere form. The cOmmandant draws
up the invitation and sends out sergeant
soldier who should refuse to sign the in
vitation would very soon find life too I'M
pleasant to remain in the home.
The President has expressed an unwil-
lingness to be a guest Of these men. He
sees no more reason why he should 90 out
there and live upon the supplies Of these
old men than to 20 to any ones private
house. If he should consent to go out
there at any time during the summer l
am very sure it would be only through
making some arrangement to pay the SOL
diers for the rent of the cottage and the
extra expense incurred. The grounds
about the Home include nearly 1000
acres. 1t is treated as if it were one of
the public parks of Washington and as if
the real owners, the soldiers, had no busi-
ness IN life except to keep it in good order
for the benefit Of the public.

RALEIGH DISAPPOINTED.
A Pet Project of her Citizens not Likely
to be Realized.
From the Nea0 York Times.

from the NeD York Times.
RALEIGH, June 5.-There is consider
able disappointment among the people in
this city and along the line of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Railroad between here and
Ridgeway, and from here to Hamlet, over
what now appears to be the collapse Of the
Virginia and Carolina Railroad. This
road was projected by Mr.. Moncure Rob
insOn, and charters were obtained from
Virginia and North Carolina. The
proposition was to build the
road from Richmond to Ridgeway
and then use the track from there to
Hamlet, and fill in the gap from Hamlet
to Cheraw, S. c., which would then make
a third through line from New York to
New Orleans. In order to have the road
pass through that city Petersburg sub
scribed 81, 900, and took the same in bonds
OF the company, paying for them in cash.
1t also gave land for the erection of sta
tIon. Much more was subscribed by In
dividual residents of Petersburg. Work
was begun ana progressed with satis-
factory rapidity. The construction of
this new road of course attracted the
attention Of the Atlantic Coast
Line, which, at the time the Vir-
ginia and Carolina Road was pro-
jected, did not control railroads further
North than Richmond, the road from Rich
mond to Fredericksburg being almost en-
tirely owned by MIR. MOncure Robinson.
In order TO avoid the natural results
which would follow the building of the
road from Richmond to Ridgeway 1t was
first necessary that the Atlantic Coast
Line should obtain control of the road
from Richmond to Fredericksburg. The
same man owning controlling interest
IL both, negotiations naturally included
both. 1t is now known that Mir. honcuTe
Robinson has entered into contract
with the Atlantic Coast Line which gives
that company control Of the road from
Richmond TO Fredericksburg, and that
he has sold the Virginia and Carolina
Road to the same parties. 1t is well un-
derstoOd that the meaning Of these two
arrangements is that the Virginia and
Carolina Road will not be built by the
Atlantic Coast Line. The people of
Petersburg are unsparing in their denun-
citation of the bad treatment they have re-
ceived, and the people in this State who
expected to derive benefit from the estab-
lishment of a through line are sOrely per-
picked at the failure of their pet project.
Raleigh is now on a side track, without
promise of increasing her Importance in
wealth, population and business, unless
she can be put on this long-cOntemplated
through line.

STRANGE CONDUCT OF JURORS.
ApOlOgizing to Culverins for COnvicting
Him of Lillian MadisOns murder.

From the NelO York World.
RICHMOND, VA, June 6.-Cluverius,
the convicted murderer of Lillian Madi-
son, was brought to court this morning
and through his counsel made a motion
fora new trial. Judge Atkins postponed
the hearing of the argument on the motion
until Monday, and the prisoner was re-
committed to Jail. he showed no sign of
depression, but, on the contrary, appeared
brighter than tor some time. There was
a large crowd in and about the court
room, but no disorder.
One of the most remarkable features of
this remarkable case was the unusual
conduct Of certain jurors to-day. Shortly
after the appearance of the prisoner in
court Juror Kepler walked over to where
the prisoner sat, and in a pleasant man.
ner said
II hope you do not think was actuated
by any malice in arriving at my opinion"
The prisoner smiled, but made no reply.
Juror Harrison then approached the pris-
oner and remarked:
''Mr. Cluverius, in the name of hu-
manity, l want to extend to you my sin
cere sympathy. l trust you believe that
| was actuated by "a stern sense of duty.
The law compelled me to take certain ac-
tiOn if l believed certain evidence. The
evidence was conclusive, and there was
no way in which l could avoid it," To
this the prisoner replied:
Certainly, sir; believe you, Mr.. Har-
rison," and smiled as he uttered these
words. Juror Berkley, of Alexandria,
also spoke to the prisoner, stating that he
had calmly and fairly tried the matter as
one between himself, his God and the
prisoner.

PATERSON, n. j., June 10. - When
Thomas n. Barbour, the founder and
owner of the largest silk mills in Pater-
son, and one of the wealthiest men in
Northern New Jersey, died recently, he
left two wills, one executed in Ireland, Of
which country he was a native, and the
other in New York, where reside his
widow and daughter. The latter will was
much the more favorable TO the widow
and daughter, while the Irish will was
most advantageous to the relatives in Ire
land. Fully $1,0O0,000 Of the estate is in
VOlYed by the matter. The American
heirs sent ex-senator Garret A. Hobart TO
ireland to attend to their interests there,
while vigorous steps we're taken in this
country to secure the recognition Of the
American will.
A dispatch from Dublin says that the
trial OF the case was begun to-day in the
Probate Court in Dublin, before Judge
Warren and a special jury. If the irish
well is rejected by the jury the court will
then take testimony as TO the earlier
American will without a jury.

A SCANDAL took place in a san Francisco
club last week. One of the members intro
duced card sharp into the club. A little
game followed later in the evening. The card
sharp successfully plucked the members
friends. There was some Misunderstanding
about the division of the spoils. The member
called the card sharp thief. The card sharp
was sensitive and betrayed his accomplice. A
committee OF the club in question called upon
the ember for an explanation. He eX
planned that it was a joke. This was not
deemed sufficient. He was compelled to sell
some property to make the losses good, and he
was requested to resign, which he did.
