KomaroFs Culpability,

Mr.. Gladstone, in the British House Of Com

had received from Sir Peter Lumsden a reply
to the request for an independent report upon
the Penjdeh incident From this it appears
that General Komaroif violated an agreement
no: to advance on the Afghans. Regarding
the reported establishment by the Russians OF
an administration at Penjdeh, the English
government knows nothing officially, and is
awaiting further information.

HER0lSM OF A THIEF.
Reasons why Paul c. Just of Chicago
Asks for Leniency.

Paul c. Just, the nimble thief who ran out Of
jewelry store with valuable watch and
escaped to tho roof Of Central Music Hall, at
Chicago, has pleaded guilty to the charge of
grand larceny. His attorney asked the court
for leniency, and exhibited two gold medals
awarded Just in 1882 for rescuing several per-
sons from the New York World fire. The
genuineness Of the medals was confirmed by
clippings from the New York newspapers
crediting just with merit, personal beroism and
presentations from admiring women. The
prisoner said he was driven to commit theft
from want, his wife at the time suffering from
cold and hunger. His medals at the time were
in pawn, and he had looked iruitlessly for work.
Sentence was deferred pending investigation of

last Monday decided the Tennessee

decision is very lengthy and the rea-

holds that the lien which arose from
the acceptance of the bonds by the
railroads was only to secure the State
in the performance of their obliga-
tons; that this lien did not follow the
bonds into the hands of the holders,
and that under subsequent statute the
state had provided ways for the rail-
roads of the payment of their debts to
the state. Hence the railroads had
been relieved. The holder had
bought the bonds on the credit of the
state and did not dream of repudia.
