ATROCITIES IN MOROCCO.
Cruelty Almost Without q ParalleI-A Fear

Cruelty Almost Without q ParaileI-A Fear
full Instance.
TANGIER, Oct. 24-The ~cruelties p~racticed by
the authorities of Morocco are attracting the
serious attention of all the foreign representa-
tives, and an appeal to their respective govern
ments will probably be made for foreign inter-
ference in order to stop the horrible atrocities
which are almost daily perpetrated on alleged
criminals for some imaginary offense trumped
UP by spies for the purpose of retaining their
positions.
Recently one of the officials of this city caused
a poor woman who was enceinte to be fogged in
the presence of her husband and father. The
woman's arms were tied together, drawn over
her head, and then the rope was fastened to a
stake to hold her in that position. The lashes
were laid on 30 heavily that blood flowed freely
from the unfortunate creatures back, her aged
father and unhappy husband being compelled to
witness her terrible suferings.
After the ~fogging, the woman was taken to
the house of an English woman, where she is
now being kindly cared for. The foreign resi-
dents are greatly shocked at the occurrence of
such c~rueltles, and have signed a petition for q
protectorats.

occasioned considerable surprise, and when he
put forward his address, advancing Radical opin-
ions, the surprise was greatly Increased. He
adopted Mr.. Chamberlain programme of free
education, and advocated immediate disestabiish-
meut in Scotland. He chamSioned the princi-
pies of the Free Land League. and with a view
TO encouragement of the subdivision OF land
suggested that sales of large estates, en- bloc,
should be subject to heavy taxation, while sales
OF land To be divided into smaller lots should be
left free of duty. AS to the House of Lords, he
hardly went so far as the Hampstead Radicals
desired, being of the opinion that the venerable
institution might be amended by the infusion of
elected members. He favored the extension of
local self government to ireland.

SPORTING MATTERS.

The st. Louis Association Base Ball Club
Wins the Championship Of the World.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 24.-The game to-day be-
tween the st. Louis Browns, champions of the
American Association. and the Chicagos, cham
pions of the League, was the decisive one in the
series between these two clubs for the champion
ship of the world, and resulted in an easy victory
for the st. Louis team. 1t was Clark
sons day to pitch. but he appeared on
the grounds five minutes late, and Captain
Arson ordered Mccormick, who pitched yester-
day, into the box. But two hits were made off
of Mccormick yesterday. To-day he was hit
for a total of sixteen bases, and this, together
with the miserable fielding of the Chicagos, de-
cided the game. The Chicagos took a lead of
two runs in the first inning. In the third in
ming, WEIGH made a three Dagger and crossed
the plate through Dalrymple's poor fielding.
Barkley and Comiskey made hits, and Barley
scored. while Comiskey was forced out by Rob
inson. Robinson stole second, and came home
on a passed ball. st. Louis won in the fourth
inning. by batting Mccormick safely five times.
The fielding Of the League champions in
this inning was the worst seen here for
some time. Arson made two bad mnffs, and
Williamson and Dalrympie each a wild throw.
In the fifth inning the Chicagos made two I'M
earned runs. but they had no chance to over
come the lead of their opponents, and the game
thereafter was devoid of interest. The last
half OF the eighth inning was not
played, on account of darkness, but it is counted
in the score, as the st. Louis club had the game
without playing their half. The game was
played under League rules, and the score is
made according to League rules. The attend
ance was about 1000. Following is the score by
innings:

T MANY YEARS.
The Value of One of the Gas Company's Old
Receipts for a Deposit.

A few days ago. while rummaeing among some
old papers, the wife of DR.. Hadley came across
a receipt for So deposited with the gas company,
dated twelve years back. In telling a friend
about the circumstance. the Doctor said: when
my wife showed it to me, I was somewhat sur
prised, having forgotten all about it. Twelve
years ago, when l moved into my present Office,
I asked the gas company to put in a meter, and
being a new patron, and not owning any real es'
tate at that time, I was compelled to deposit S.
to insure the company against loss. After pay
ing my bills promptly for three or four years, I
asked them to refund, but it was refused, on the
plea that I was not a freebooter. let the mat

minded them of the deposit. but was put off with

if it was good. They said it was, and that
they would be very glad to have it in exchange

THE GUERRILLAS IN TRADE.
The Peddlers Who Make Prey OF the Gus
toners of Reputable Merchants.

Said a prominent merchant to q Journal re-
porter: ''There is a class of travelling salemen
from whom the Council ought, in SOM manner,
to protect the merchants of this city. We pay
taxes on our stocks of goods. and yet sales
men representing, or pretending TO represent,
houses in Chicago, Cincinnati and elsewhere,
can and do come here, and, without paying any
thing, sell to our customers and carry away
money that of right should come to US. Re-
Gently a salesman of this character cams to the
Bates House, hired a hack and drove
about the city, to the homes of wealthy citizens,
and sold several hundred dollars worth of goods.
Some of these fellows sell articles on the install
ment plan. / have little sympathy for the peo-
pie they dupe. I know of a recent case in which
a lady, on the installment plan. paid $1l for an
article she could have bought in any one of a
half dozen house here for Sc. These peripatetic
statesmen, even though they put up at irst-class
hotels, are mere peddlers. They sell silks, %satins,
embroideries, rable-iinens-some of them sell furs
no matter what, they are euerrillas in trade, and
we who pay taxes deserve protection from their
raids. l hope the Council will pass an ordinance
requiring a license sufficiently high to exclude
them, or if not that, to make them pay into the
city treasury an amount that will relieve the
tax paying merchants they prey upon"

A BOYS AMBITION GRATIFIED.
How a Bright Young Indianapolis Israelite
was Enabled to Get an Education.

Shepard Benson, a bright young Israelite of
this city. who recently graduated from the Cleve-
land Hebrew Orphan Asylum, has been admitted
as a student of the Hebrew Union College, at
Cincinnati. '"There is a little story connected
with this" said H. Bamberger, a director of the
Cleveland institution. The Union College
each year accepts one student, if he can pass,
from the Cleveland Orphan Asylum, and that
student is maintained by the governors of the
college. Young Benson had two less marks to
his credit chan another pupil of the asylum, and
so the coveted place was given to the other
youth. He had set his heart upon going. and
he and his mother were greatly grieved
over the disappointment. At the meeting
of the directors of the asylum the matter was
talked over among them, when a gentleman
from Detroit came to me and said, That boy
has to go to college, draw on me for $780, a gen
tieman from Peoria said to draw on him for $50.
and one from Louisville said that friends there
would help the work along. then said that In
dianapolis would give $50. So young Benson
went to the Union Hebrew College. The tuition
at the college is free to everybody, without re-
gard to color or creed. 1t was the maintenance,
board, clothes and incidental expenses of young
Benson that had to be provided for, and all that
is now settled"

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 24-One week ago last
Friday, residents of the city were shocked to
learn that the young and beautiful wife of James
Quayles, had mysteriously disappeared.
Since then search has been made
in nearly every quarter of the
northern part of Ohio. Ponds have been
dragged, and everybody in Cleveland and the
adjoining country has been deeply inter
ested in the case. Mrs. Quayles had
been in poor health for some time,
and lately her husband placed their
baby in the hands of a nurse. It was thought
that the absence of the child preyed on Mrs.
Quayles's mind, and produced temporary insan-
ity. To-day the mystery was solved. An EN-
ploye of w. j. Gordon, who lives eastIof the city,
on the lake shore, found the body of Mrs. Quayles
wedged in between two great rocks. She had
evidently been in the water for a week. Her
clothing was torn from her body, and her face
was so disigured that it was not recognizable.
1t is generally believed that she committed sui
eide.

Hanlan Defeated bv Teemer.

ALBANY, Oct. 4-Probably 10, 200 persons
witnessed the single-scull race for 81, 600 a side,
at Pleasure Island, this afternoon, between Han
Ian and John Ell. Teemer. The weather and
water were nearly perfect. There was a three
foot freshet in the river, however, which rem
dered it hard work for the oarsmen. The race
was three miles with a turn. In the betting
Hanlan was a hot favorite, and many private
wagers were laid at ODDS of $100 to 800 and $50
on him. In the pools sold or the island, just be-
fore the start, the Canadian sold first choice at
$50 to $25, and $780, even after Teemer had won
the toss for choice of positions. Teemer Sc
lected the inside position, which was a consider
able advantage. The men started at 4:53. At
the half mile Teemer drew up and took the lead,
which he maintained, winning in 21:13. In turn
ing the stake-hoat Hanlan struck it lightly and
upset his shell, the oarsman being thrown into
the water. He was rescued by the people in the
judges boat, who righted it and placed Hanlan
in it. Hanlan then rowed down to the finishing
point. Haulan says the collision with the stake
boat was caused by the strong current.

A Manifesto from Prince Napoleon.

LONDON, Oct. Bonaparte (Plon-
plon) has issued another manifesto to his follow
ers. In this he congratulates himself for having
held aloof from the recent elections. He says
that at present the Monarchists are powerless to
either secure the government of France or to
overthrow the republic. They are deter
mined, however, he says, to perpetuate
the state of revolution, toward which, he
declares. the country is drifting. 1.-The Radicals
ars unable" continues the manifesto, ito govern
without the assistance of the Opportunists, and
a government SO managed must end in dissolu-
ton. Only a strong, persevering and united ex-
ecutive can assure the stability of the republic,
which must either reform or perish" For these
reasons the Prince urges all good citizens to unite
in upholding the republic.

Bad Effects of an ANONYMOUS Letter

FLEMINGToN. N. j., Oct. 24.-The Hunterdon
County Circuit Court has just completed a case
that has excited more interest than any cause
tried in the county for years. Mr.: Larson is
the principal of a large and fourishing school at
Ringues, six miles from here. He is a man of
means, and is one of the strongest advocates of
abbreviated spelling, or spelling By sound, in
this country: He has written several t~reatises
and textbooks Oh the subject. He was indicted
by the grand jury on the charge of sending an
offensive and anonymous letter to Mrs. David
Conover, the wife of a prominent farmer near
here. The indictment was procured by Mr..
Conover: The evidence was strong against Lar
ison, and it appeared that the epistle had so
worked on Mrs. Conover's mind as to drive her
insane. The jury convicted the scholar, and
Chief justice Beasiey has just sentenced Larson
to six months at hard labor in the State prison
and a fine OF $1,000: An appeal was at once
ing the result of the appeal. He had the best
counsel in the county to defend him.
