A London special says: Another

dated Rawul Pindi, and is considered
very important in view Of the presence
Of Amser kbdurrshman at that place
and the cordial relations that have been
established between him and the Vice
roy. Lord Dufsrin earnestly warns the

plieity, and exposes certain intrigues

fact, spies, although they attempted
no disguise as to their names

great sOrdiality toward the Russian
oGcers and finally led them into trap.
He allowed them access to copies Of his
correspondence with Lord Ripon, who
was at that time viceroy of India, but
not until he lad manufactured bogus
set of dispatches, intended to show that
a quarrel was imminent between AZ

of Russian negotiations with Afghanis-
tan ever since.
Lord Duferin says further that simi-
lar intrigues have been practiced by
Russian agents at Cabul very recently,
and even since the Ameer's departure
for Rawul Pindi.
The Ameer, however, is new con-
visced that England is his best friend,

While princes have exceptional privi-
leges while travelling, they are also
subjected to annoyances quite foreign
to ordinary mortals. The other day,
when the Prince of Wales and the
Duke of Edinburgh left the Charing-
Cross station for Berlin they were
dressed in shooting suits; but next
morning they were obliged to change
their costumes in the railway carriage,
for the risor Of etiquette would have
been outraged if they had aot been ar
rayed in Prussian uniforms on arriving
at Cologne. After long night
Journey it must be right pleasant
thing to have to travel all day buckled
up in a stiff uniform. But again, a
uniform which is quite correct for the
Rhine provinces is by no means the
right thing for Berlin so in the eve
ming, after passing Magdeburg, the
princes had again to change while on
the cars, and when they arrived at the
capital the Prince Of Wales wore the
uniform Of the Blucher Hussars, Of
which he is colonel, and the Duke Of
Edinburgh that Of the Thuringian regi-
ment.

HaUs Journal Of HssttS, referring
to Consumption. makes the following
important statement:
Consumption usually begins with .
slight, dry cough in the morning, then.
on going to bed, getting more and
more frequent, with more and moro
phlegm, increasing debility, thinness Of
flesh, shortness of breath. and quickness
of pulse. In fatal cases its average
course is about two years; hence the
Importance of arresting the disease st
as early . stage as possible. and the
sooner rational means are employed for
this purpose the greater the chance OF
success. The disease is owing to an
irritation commencing in the throat and
extending to the lungs, so that their
action il interfered with, and the blood
does not receive sufficient oxygen 10

lung disease Is emscistion; and the
most positive indication Of returning
health is increase in weight"
So speaks Hairs JssrnaI Of HedifA,
and we may add that in desperate cases,
and, in fact, in oil cases Of Consumption
or troubles Of the throat and lungs, inn
mediate relief may be obtained and .
permanent cure effected by the use OF

THE NEW KOZART HALL
To be BuiIt asd Ready fer Use By Decemser-
Sanger Hall Rssted Temporarily.

The Building Committee Of the No
zart Association have let most, if not
all, of the contracts for building the
new hall. and expect to commence to
tear down the present structure in a
short while. Sanger Hall will be ssed
by the Association until the new build
ing is ready for use.
The lease Of the Dime-Nuseum Com
pany on the old hall will expire the
Cd Of May, and the work of tearing it
dows will probably commence the Sth.
1t was at first determined that this
work should begin the 4th of May, but
in view Of the fact that the Hungarian
Band will be here the 7th, and a crowd
larger than Sanger Hall can accommo-
date is expected to attend the entertain
ment to be given by it, the work will
not be commenced until after the 7th.
The new structure will be very i'm
posing one, and will be built on the
present site and lot adjoining on
the south at a cost Of about S30, 200.
1t will be of brick, with stock
brick front; will have only one circle,
and will seat about | 400 persons.
There will be three large doors in front.
through which entrance may be gained,
and four additional ones, two on each
side, leading out on a nine-feot alley.
by which exit may be had, thus making
the opportunities for leaving the hall in
the event Of fire or accident unusually y
good.
The stage will be 90 by 80 feet. and
will have all the modern Improvements.
The present life-membership about
700), it is supposed, will take stock or
bonds to the amount Of about 500, 900,
and every effort is being made to in
crease this membership and the amount
of subscriptions to the capital stock,
in order that the bonded debt may be
as small as possible.
II is thought that the new hall can
and will be 50 far completed as to
make it possible TO use the basement by
the Ist of December. This hall will
add greatly to the beauty Of that part
of the town in which it is to be built.

Frauds.
Washington Republican,

brnuds.
Washington Republican,
District-Atterney Worthington is
making every effort to secure all the
evidence possible for the NEXT trial Of
W. II. Demsey and j. W. Drew, and
proposes to avail himself Of any testi-
mony which he believes will give some
information as to the transactions in
yolved in these cases. He has been
candid in stating his belief that ell par
ties whs have been indicted in connes-
tion with these frauds are guilty Is
charged, and feels that he is merely in
the performance Of his duty in making
. vigorous prosecution.
To carry the investigation a step fur
ther and make the evidence Of fraud
and dishonesty mere convincing, it ap-
pears that the District attorney has now
added an important witness to his side
since the last trial, who will be likely
to make some startling developments
when he takes the stand. Dasiel Carri-
gan, who had pleaded guilty, went back
to Jail in the usual way Monday, but
came out again that same night and
was brought to the office Of the
District attorney, 10 whom he un-
bosomed himself in regard to his
connection with the navy fraud transac-
tons from the beginning to their discsvs-
nv. stating who ware his sonfederates
in the business, what part they took,
the extent Of gain frsm the use of the
false vouchers, and what disposition
was made Of the money received. 1t
proved an interesting story, and engaged
the attention Of the District attorney for
nearly five hours. 1t was near mid
night when Csrrigan was excused
and reconducted TO jail. The re-
suit Of this meeting between the
prosecuting officer and Carrigan is
that the latter will testify when the
cases come on for trial. Before Car
rigan left the city, when the frauds
were first found out, he went to the
District attorney and offered to make a
clean breast of everything if he was
promised immunity. The offer was de-
clined and he disappeared, to be ar
rested long after in Brooklyn. Now
that he admits his guilt and awaits SEN
tence, his testimony will be received to
convict his alleged partners in crime.

Ne Game Yesterday.

The Brosklyns commenced tive
days engagement with the Virginiss
yesterday. The game was advertised
10 commence at 4:30 o'clock, but was
begun earlier on account Of the clsudi-
ness Of the weather. 1t commenced
TO rain about 4:30, and the game had
to be called while the second inning
was being played, when the score stood
three to one in favor of the visitors.
During the short time that the con-
test was going on both clubs displayed
some good work, and had not the rain
interfered doubtless the game would
have been a very interesting one. Some
of the persons present thought their
money ought to be refunded, but, know
ing that the rule is, mo money re-
funded after play is called" they
should not have expected it.
These clubs will play again this after
nssn, when the game will commence at
4 o'clock.
