Commission toinquire into the depress-
ion in trade was logged publicly in this
city this afternoon for the alleged sedue-
ton Of his assailant's daughter.
The Pal Aau Gd.elte, Of this afternoon,
says Of the affair: Awell known gentle
man who was recently appointed mem
ber Of the Royal Commission, was met on
the staircase Of his office, in East India
avenue to-day and soundly floegsd by a
gentleman who publicly accused him of
having seducsd his daughter. The thrash
ing was preceded by aviolent assault, the
angry father shaking the betrayer Of his
child like terrier does rat. The father
then fogged him until the stick broke,
when the bystanders interfered.
A reporter OF the Gazette Immediately
alter the hogRing interviewed the assail-
ant. The latter said: ~ shall fog the
betrayer Of my child whenever he crosses
my path. You may publish my name
provided you publish his. II he feels
aggrieyed he can take action against me.

have no fear that he will be plucly enough
to face me in court. 1haye not done with
him yeti
The reporter then called on the man
who received the thrashing, and asked
for his side. This gentleman said: "The
story told you by my assailant is nonsense.
I have been flogged. The man struck me
with stick and abused me. It Is merely
q case CT blackmail OF peculiarly bad
kind. The statement that had betrayed
the mans daughter is false.n
The names Of the parties have not yet

POST AND DONALDSON.
They Were Yesterday Held to Await
the Action of the Grand
Jury.

The preliminary examination of George
w. Post of Chicago and Joseph NJ. Donald
son, the Minneapolis jeweler, occurred in
the municipal court yesterday. No new
particulars of the selling of the jewelry to
Stewart, the Dakota granger, for $500
were developed. Stewart testified to the
business transaction; to the fact that Post
had called upon him and represented to him
that the jewelry in question was offered by
Donaldson at rare bargain, and then 10
the final purchase.
Messrs. Legg Il Eustis prominent jewel
ers, gave expert testimony as to the value
of the jewelry. Mr.. Eustis made the fol-
lowing estimate after careful examination
of the property: Gold bracelets, S12;
diamond ear-drops, S12O; diamond ring,
$50; diamond ring, $50; gold watch
and chain, S33, making total
of S215. Mr.. Legg valued the
jewelry little higher, placing his estimate,
in the aggregate, at $3.50, or one-half the
amount paid by Stewart. The defendants
attorney, Mr.. Flanagan, moved TO dismiss
the case on the ground that there was no
evidence to show criminal intent, and the
county attorney argued the motion at some
length. delivering a highly elaborate and
finished address, spiced with Scintillations
of wit. The court refused to grant the mo-
ton. when the defense stated that they
should put in no testimony. The defend
ants were then bound over to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. Posts bonds, at
the urgent request of the county attorney,
were increased from 81, 900 to $500. while
Donaldson's bonds remained at $1,000

and each month thereafter Beach was COM
PEELED to pay S25 bonus to prevent fore
closure. In this way he claims he has paid
S175, not a cent of which has been ap-
piled upon the principal or interest.
At the special term of court Saturday,
Judge Lochren granted a temporary in
junction to issue upon the filing of a bond
for $500, at the same time remarking that
if the uSury laws were thus to be evaded
they might as well be abolished; that
there should be some way in which to pre-
vent a man from paying $175 ror nothing.
Frank Mackey's answer to the complaint
is that E. r. Mackey lives at CatskiL, N.
Y, and had no knowledge that a usurious
rate of interest had been charged. He,
Frank Mackey, was his agent, and that
Beach had agreed to pay the bonuses to
him for securing the loan and subsequent
extensions. Mackey is one of the principal
money lenders of the city and the case will
be an interesting one as test as to whether
bonuses can be collected in this manner.

Breach of promise suits as a rule gener-

coolly dissects their love letters and laughs
at the sentimental gush that always looks
silly in the papers. In the case before
Judge Lochren yesterday in the district
court very little of the yum, yum Htera-
ture appeared The fair plaintiff was
mature lady of 40 years, named Mrs. Clara
Campbell, widow, who keeps millinery
store at Madison. Wis, while the falthleSS
and absent defendant is E. B. Chapman, 45
years old, who was until recently employed
by the Omaha road in this city.
BASE DECEPTION.
The complaint set forth that in Deem
Der. 1882. the defendant requested plaintiff
to marry him. She consented, and has
been at all times ready to fulfill her prom
Use. but has not had a chance owing to his
persistency in not giving her any oppor
tunity. By this neglect and refusal on his
part the plaintiff claims damages in the
amount of 50. OOO Dec. s, 1884, when she
was at Madison, Wis, he wrote her to get
her things ready as he would be down there
about the 18th of the next month. This
letter was introduced in evidence.
In it he addressed her as
Dear Mother and signed himself as
''your boy" after returning thanks for
some fresh fish she had sent him, and re-
questing her to make him two pairs of yarn
socks, he tells her to be ready on the 18th
if she has beeen true to him, and warns her
if she has not that she will be killed if he
finds it out.
1.-THE complaint goes on to state that upon
receiving this letter the plaintiff at once
commenced making preparations, and dis
missed her patrons and customers and
closed up her millinery business. After she
had gone to the expense of $40 she was
Mortified to receive another letter from him
in which he said he could not
come down to Madison to marry
her as his wife would not
let him go: that the little which had passed
between them should be overlooked and she
needn't write to him any more. She came
to Minneapolis and had an interview with
her intended, but he cOOlly informed her
he had ''been married hundred times be-
fore" and did not care to have anything
more to do with her
HER DAMAGES.
The plaintiff, therefore, claimed that in
consequence of abandoning her business
and mnking preparations, she had been
damaged to the extent of 81, 900. She also
claims that he imposed upon her good
amount of labor in making up personal
clothing for him. The defendant did not
appear and the plaintiffs side of the case
was given to the jury as detailed above and
the letters mentioned read. The jury
promptly returned a verdict III her favor TO
81 900.

Home Again.

Mr.. George NJ. Seymour has arrived home
from Central America, where he was act
ing as one of the commissioners appointed
by congress to report upon the chances for
trade between this country and the Central
and South American states. Owing to in
ternal wars the commission did not make
such rapid progress as expected, and Mr..
Seymour owing to other engagements was
unable to accompany the other members to
Peru, Chill and other points in South
America. He looks remarkably well, never
having been sick a day during the five
months he was away. He says the death
of Barrios was most disastrous one for
the republic, as he was far-seeing states
man and would have given Central America
much influence through union of the five
republics. Yesterday morning was the first
snow he had seen since he went away. He
gives graphic account of what he saw
and the knowledge obtained will no doubt
be of much service.
