for an HOlresS was Rudsly DlSpellsd.
New YoRE, Oct. 12.-Aug. Jensen, a
coachman, whose soul was filled with an
ambition to capture an heiress, has come
to grief in the effort to attain the object Of
his ambition, and is now the repentant
occupant Of dungeon cell in the Hobo
ken Police Station. About three yesrs
ago Mrs Stevens, Of Castle Point, was in
want OF a coachman, and employed Jen-
sen, who is Swede OF thirty.fiye, on the
recommendation Of Mrs. King, the widow,
OF New York banker, Mrs. Lewis. the
daughter Of Mrs. Stevens, is the wife OF
ColOnelE p. y. Lewis, the U. S. Minister
to Portugal. Before her marriage to Col
onel Lewis, she was the widow Of the late
General Garrett, and had one daughter,
Miss Minnie Garrett, who is now twenty
years old. Miss Garrett Is the heiress
upon whom the coachman cast his eyes.
A year and half ago Mrs. Stevens, in.
tending to 60 to Europe, secured place
for Jensen with John Duncan, in New
York.
In the summer OF 1884 Mr.. Duncan and
his family went to Seabright and took
Jensen with them. Mrs. Lewis and her
daughter were there and were astonished
at receiving call from Jensen, who said
that he had come to inquire after Miss
Minnie's health. A few days later Miss
Garrett received letter from Jensen,
filled with protestations OF love. The
family gave no attention 10 the matter
until Miss Garrett began receiving similar
letters two or three times week and Jen-
sen made practice OF spending all his
leisure time in their neighborhood. Ha
would stand for hours in front OF Col.
Lewis house watching for Miss CARROTS
appearance, and il she went walking
would follow her at short distance.
Mr.. Duncan discharged Jensen, and
warned him II he did not leave Seabright,
and cease his persecution Of Miss Garrett,
he would be arrested and punished.
Lastspring Mrs. Lewis and her daughter
were walking in Broadway, on shopping
expedition, when Jensen stepped up and
spoke to them. He used TO follow the
girl everywhere, and to-day he followed
her to church, when John Stevens called
a policeman and had him arrested. Jer-
sen is believed 10 be insane.

LONDON, Oct. l2.-Lord Randolph

lament in the direction Of thrifty spend

Parliamentary procedure and regulate the
hours Of meeting Of Parliament SO as to

Tories would govern the Empire in the

and strikes with unerring instinct at tho

fine. They got closely shaven and their
hair cut prior 10 the sentence. When
asked il they had anything to say, they
refused to make any pledges. This is
classed by the church organ as genuine

imprisonment rather than be recreant to

Their friends gathered around with words

begged mercy, and were granted time to

NEW YoRE, Oct. l2.-The Herald pub
fishes the following from Atlanta, Ca,
this morning: General John B. Gordon,
on being asked his opinion concerning the
disclosures about himself made by Fer.
dinand Ward, in connection with the Bel,
mont coal mine transactions, says:
"The Belmont coal mine is situated In
jackson county, Ala and was owned and
operated by company composed Of my
brotherF, Eugene and Walker Gordon,
Governor Colquitt and myself. We had
operated this mine successfully, and the
returns each month showed an excess Of
receipts We needed money to develop
the mine, and to ascertain the real value
of the property we engaged Mr.. Eugene
Zimmerman, oil Cincinnati, to come down
and inspect it. He is the most skilliul
expert in this business in the country.
Mr.. Zimmerman gave US written opin-
ion declaring that the mine ought to pay
good interest on over s., 900, 900.

erty. These bonds were 10 bear six per-
cent. interest. We agreed to give Grant &
Ward full control Of the mine, although
they owned only minority OF the stock.
Wards brother was sent down TO examine
the mine. He reported favorably upon It,
and the firm OF Grant & Ward then paid
over their money, which was every cent
used in developing the mine.
; "The mine turned out a losing affair, as
man was placed in control OF it who
knew nothing of the business. Iresigned
the presidency OF the company, as l did
not approve OF this mans management.
About that time needed money, and !
borrowed $4,000 from the Marine Bank.

convenient for US to pay the money then.
We had lost faith in the management OF

We agreed to let Grant, Ward & Co., take
the entire stock in consideration OF pay

OSg OF the charges against the Mayor is
that he ha, interferred with the efficiency
Of the police force. Let US see. Was that
about the time the Mayor was urging the
Chief Of Police to do his sworn duty and
break up the gambling houses? The
C1ei OF Police resented that interference
with the efficiency Of the gambling hells.
The Mayor laid his complaint before
Cou ,ci. The matter was referred to the
Committee on Elections (!) as promising
better than the Commilte on Coal Banks,
which was the first thought, and the re-
suit was whitewash. The friends Of the
Chief Of Police ought to realize by this
time that there is no part Of his official
career that they can touch without burn
ing their fingers.
