Trying TO Save Editor Stead from
Prosecution 20 Shield Themselves
London Thoroughly Stirred Up.
LONDON, July 10.--The exposures of dis
graceful immortality in this city, which the
Pal Mall Gazette has been making for the
last three or four days, form the one topic
discussed in all parts of the kingdom. The
titled and untitled rascals, for whose lust
full qualification the traffic in female chast-
ity has been carried on trembling in their
boots lest editor Stead should be arrested
and prosecuted for libel, or the circulation
of obscene literature. In the event of his
arreet, he would make an attempt to just
lily by showing the truth of what he has
published. That involves the giving of
names, which have heretofore been sup
pressed, and the exposure of the r0lees who
by their patronage, have made the revolt
ing traffic profitable. 1t is for this reason
that they are more fearful that Editor
Stead may be prosecuted than he is him
self. It is very doubtful, if. in the event
of his prosecution, Editor Stead would be
permitted to plead truth in his own de-
Tense III Court, but it is not believed here
that, if all evidence in his behalf were
ruled out, jury could be found to con-
Wet him, so deep is the sympathy with
him. Mr.. Stead has received the comfort
ing assurance from his lawyers that if he
should be prosecuted, no power on earth
could prevent his conviction. 1t is now
evident however, that the Government
will take no steps against him.
Already public meetings are announced
for next week to support the Pail Mall
Gazette. Cardinal Manning and Mr.. Sam
uel Morley have expressed their willing
ness to be two of a committee of three to
privately investigate the editors proofs,
and if convinced to sign statement to
that effect. The Lord Mayor of London
will probably be the third. Lord Shaftse
bury at meeting yesterday expressed
strong support for tho Gazette.
Mr.. Stead was warned last night by the
police that attacks on his Office were
threatened, and that he must have protec-
ton all the time.
In the course of long conversation
with Mr.. Stead, during which many of the
above facts were learned, he said: ST have
never known public opinion to turn so
sharp. People who were cursing me on
Monday come to-day and shake hands.
am perfectly satisfied with the reception of
these revelations. You may say from me
that / am convinced that similar INQUIRIES
set on foot in every great city in America
would yield results, not nearly So extensive
or dreadful, but enough ia startle the
Christian, God-fearing communities of
America quite as much as ours have been"
The sensation in Paris is almost as
great as here.

IMPRISONED FOR A DEBT
JOHN RICKETTS, SINGULAR STORY
ABOUT Il SPRING BED.

Arrested, as He Says, for Failing 10 Pa y
for Spring Mattrass that He Says He
Never 0rdered-Other Side Unknown.
If the story of John Ricketts,, who
present occupies quarters in the County
Jail, is true, he is victim of circumstances
John is English, as is his wife. About
three years ago, Ricketts,, while living on
the Hill, according to his own statement.
received postal card from man named
John Richards, agent for Edward N. Linn.
OF l36 York street, saying that he had
taken the liberty of forwarding a spring
mattrass to him, and for which he
(Richards) had paid the original install
mont. Ricketts, says he was acquainted
with Richards, and meeting him after
ward, asked him what he meant by send
ing the article, which he did not need.
Richards, he claims, explained the matter.
by saying that it was done for his own in
terest as agent, and told Ricketts, that the
matter was all right. Nothing further was
done about the business until six months
after, when the two men met, and Rich
| ards informed Rickett that he had left
Linn's employment.
81 have paid him eight dollars and
half on the mattrass," Ricketts, saws his
friend explained, ''and you can pay me at
your own leisure. A coupe of dollars at a
time will be sufficient
Rickett says he did not agree to this. as
he actually did not want The mattrass. and
intimated as much. He also claims that
he would very much like to have had it
removed. Ricketts, moved from Charles
street to Central avenue, and afterward to
lower Bergen, carrying the mattrass with
him. About six weeks ago he was sum-
moned before Judge Randolph in the
First District Court, in a suit of
trover for the mattrass, the complaint
beiI g signed by B. Selover, who, Rickett
admitted last night, was the manufacturer
of the article. When the case was called
paper was offered in evidence which
purported to be an agreement to which
Ricketts, sisnature was attached. The sig
nature Rickett claims to be a forgery.
Ricketts, says that, as a canyasser, he
agreed to sell some goods for Linn, and
mad negotiated a couple of sales. one of a
sewing machine and another of a wringer,
but that no payments are as yet due on
them. The case was laid off until yester-
day, when Constable Crawford arrested
Rickett on Selover's complaint, and lodged
him in the County Jail. The complaint
alleges that Rickett owes $11 on the mat
trass, and this with costs, will bring the
total up to SIG
Mr.. Linn was sought for his version of
the story last night, but could not be
found

Yesterdays sports.

The closeness of Fridays game between
the Trenton's of Jersey City, and the Vir-
ginias, called out an extra number of adj
mirers of the diamond. The grand stand
was well filed, and those who enjoyed old
Soils rays far outnumbered the sensible
ones who sought shelter. The game was a
very close one until the eighth inning was
reached, the score standing one run in favor
of Mclaughlin. The stubborn contest
looked as if it would reverse the order of
Fridays play, and stand one to nothing for
the Trentons. Suddenly Tate stole from
first to second base, and fine ground two
base hit by Kimber brought Tate home and
put Kimber on his second base, the only
two base hits of the day. The catching of
the Virginias was very poor compared with
that of the Trentons, and muffed balls were
not scarce ingredient in the play, despite
the incessant coaching of Captain Latham,
who keeps hie men well in hand, and
amuses the audience at the same time.
Tomorrow the Trentons intend to wipe out
their defeat of yesterday, if possible, and
some good playing may be looked for. The
