POURED COLD WATER UPON THEIR
Notwithstanding several years Mr. b
Gratz Brown ..once Candidate Vice Presl-
dent, was the only great man IN st Louis.
During the present week his son. BGratl
Brown, Jr., has achieved greatness at
one fell swoop. The family lives at Kirk
wood, one Of the suburbs of ST. Louis,
which is also the seat of Mrs. Snead-
Cairns female seminary. Young Brown
with a couple of friends was taking his
constitutional the other evening when
the sweet faces of Misses Ella Barrett and
Kansas Mckinley appeared at the semi
nary window and huttered their handker-
chiefs. The young men, led by Brown,
crowded through the fence and made
| their way under the window, where they
| conversed with the ladies above. Did
| the Romeo and Juliet act" as one of the
witnesses described it. Now the young
ladies were looking out of the second
story window, while peering grimly down
from the third vertically above the bill
ing and cooling, was the principal, Mrs,
Cairns. Just as things were beginning
to warm up this latter lady upset a jug
Of water upon the Romeos drenchlng
them thoroughly, and making them So
indignant that they walked right off.
But this was not the end of it. Mrs.
Cairns had the young men arrested, and
charged them with trespass. All of them
pleaded guilty, save Brown, and were
fined S. a piece without any scandal OF
unnecessary publicity. He fought the
case, however, and summoned in his de-
tense Miss Barrett and Miss Mckinley,
who admitted t~earfully having huttered
the kerchiefs at the young man. The
Court ruled that this was not a construc
tive invitation to enter the seminary
grounds, and Mr.. Brown contributed $40.

...Williamsbur@, Va, June Sat
II O'Clock last night a tire broke out in
the right wing of the eastern lunatic
asylum here. and before it could be got
under control, everything was destroyed.
There were two hundred female patients
in the building, but all were rescued
except Miss Smith, who was burned to
death. Another patient, a Mrs. Jetfreys,
wandered away and was found this
morning drowned in the creek uear by.
All the female patients were taken to
William and Mary college, where they
were temporarily cared for. The other
wards contained nearly 300 male pa
tents. These wards we've quickly emp
tied and the u~nfortunates were turned
loose. but did not wander OF, being
generally trautable. Aid was telegraph
ed for from Richmond, and teamer

done its worst. The total loss is esti-
mated at from $780, 900 to 81 5000.
