sio-EEussIan Troubles.
a burglar having long envied a certain
gold watch and chain belonging to a rich
gentleman finally made an effort to steal
it. but being detected in the act he was
made to sign an agreement that he would
never attempt its theft again, In the
course of time the housebreaker's cupidity
got the better OF him again, aud arming
himself with a rifle, he invaded the rich
gentleman's grounds one night prepared
to force his way into the house and seize
the coveted jewel Just as he came over
the fence a faithful employe of the rich
gentleman discovered him and, while
giving the alarm, was shot dead by the
burglar. The latter thereupon broke in
to the house, and, securing the watch and
chain, left by the same way that he had
entered Soon after his departure the
rich gentleman discovered what had
taken place, and. seiZing his gun, he
started in pursuit of the robber. Then
all the neighbors shouted. '- 1t means
war, but the rich man, bethiuking him
self of the Inconvenience of war, paused,
and, after due reflection, remarked that be

do everything consistent with honor to
avoid hostilities. When the robber heard
Of these things he said that he too was q

Then the rich man demanded as q cOudi-
ton precedent to peace that the watch
should be restored and that money should
be paid to the family of his servant who
had been killed This the robber object
ed to and forthwith the neighbors said
once again: " War is inevitable" 3" AS the
rObber had by this time got out another
gun, the rich man, on reflection, said that
if the robber would not make reparation
he could at least agree to q submission of
the dispute to a disinterested party who
would determine whether the robber or
the rich man had broken the agreement
and thus give the latter an opportunity to
return to his home with honor To this
the robber gave instant assent, and the
rich man. shOulderin0 his gun, left for
home IN a very happy frame of mind

Swallowed by Western Union.

NEW YORK, July 10-The Western Union
Telegraph Company to-day secured the practical
control of the American Rapid Company, which
has been, since September 1883, part of the
Bankers and Merchants system. The
contract is for an exclusive exchange of
business. and by an order of Judge
Donohue it is understood the Western Union is
made the agent of the receiver in the manage
ment of the line The receiver of the Bankers
and Merchants company said to day that he
had heard of the rumors, but knew nothing of
the truth of them. The Western
Union company gives no guarantee of
interest to the American Rapid bonds, it is said,
but agrees to take the lines on similar terms to
those recently made with the Southern Tee
graph Company. Dispatches from Baltimore,
Troy and Rochester say the wires of the Amer
lean Rapid We're to day transferred from the

TIE CASE OF "BLlND TOM"
lie Is Not Held as Slave, and Federal
Court Refuses to Change His Custodian.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 10.-In the federal
court yesterday, the mother of 'Blind Ton,"
the coored musical phenomenon, sued out
writ of habeas corpus 20 get possession Of her
son, portion of his earnings, and making
various allegations. Tom is under contract to
General Bethune The case came up to day.
Counsel for the mother and others claimed
that this. court had jurisdiction of the
case, and that tho Fauquier court
had none. The judge decided that General Be
thune became resident of Virginia in 1870 and
that Tom, being then in Bethune's possession
under contract, he also became q resident and
that the court of Fauquier had jurisdiction. The
Judge, in delivering his opinion, said:
Il have nothing to do with the question of his
lunacy. Ny only inquiry is whether Tom is held
as slave. l do not see how the petitioner, his
acquiescence for fifteen years in the action Of
held as a slave Evidently he is not held as a
slave. l therefore have no right or jurisdiction
to remove him from his present custody, and
feel bound in the interest of5humanity, TO remand
him TO the custody in which he was born, In
which he has lived all his life, and in which he
is anxious to remain"
During the trial of the case, IN order to allow
the court to form an opinion as to the mental
condition of Tom, several questions were pro-
pounded to him by the court, to all of which he
gave fairly ineligible answers, but would
invariably say that he wanted to stay with
General Bethune and go back to Warrington.
