The latest society sensation Is the
formation of new club with the singular
appellation of the "High Jinks." Its
functions seem to be TO introduce little
more vim and abandon into London So
cial life. After the Prince of Wales leyee
last Monday the High Jinks gave a ball
poudre which lasted until six O'Clock
Tuesday morning and was so lively as to
have furnished food for unlimited gossip
ALI the week. The Prince of Wales and
his two sons were present and apparently
entered with zest into the spirit OF the
occasion. A series of entertainments OF
this kind are promised by the club and
are anticipated with interest on account
of the prestige given to the opening one
by royal favor. A novelty TO be intro
duced by the club is series OF dramatic
performances beginning at twelve O'Clock
every Saturday night by company ol
Partisan actors and actresses.
Negotiatiations for the sale OF the Duke
of Edinburgh's reversionary rights to the
Duchy of Saxe-Coburg Gotha have been
! in progress for some time, and IT is now
announced that they have reached salts
factory conclusion. The statement that
Prince Bismarck opposed the arrange
ment is denied. Ever since the Car init
mated to Bismarck that Edinburgh wished
to dispose OF his interests, the Prince has
| promoted the settlements, being infu-
enced somewhat by the Cars desire to
have his brother-in-law's wishes in the
premises conformed to. The Duchess OF
Edinburgh has leased the San Antonio
palace at Malta, and will maintain semi
| court during the Dukes command OF the
Mediterranean squadron. She intends TO
accompany the Duke in the spring on a
cruise to the Italian ports and to the
Levant.

TRIAL OF MITCHELL.
Testimony Tending to Show that the Prison.
er Had Decided to Kill Cox.

Charles Mitchell, who killed Simon Cox at the
head Of a stairway leading to the room of Mary
Gallatin, alias Reed, No. 76 Virginia avenue, on
the night before last Christmas, was placed on
trial in the Criminal Court yesterday. Little
more, at the best, can be told now than was re-
hearsed at the time of the ARRAY and during the
coronial investigation. Then, as now, the only
apparent cause of Mitchelrs desire to take Cox's
life seems to lie within the defendants jealousy
of his victim. Like his slayer, Cox was colored,
but considerably beyond his age. while the OBJ
ject Of their attentions, the Reed woman, has.
for years been known as one Of the most
notorious of her class. Cox was COM
ing out of his room where Mitchell
supposed Mary Reed to be and where she had
lived with Cox for some time. AS the latter ap-
preached the head Of the stairway be met Mitch
ell who, it is claim, after Cox struck him with a
club, shot him in the breast. TIL wound did
not reach its worst phase until a month after
ward, when Cox died at the City Hospital. In
the meantime the whereabouts Of Mitchell had
been successfully concealed. He did not leave
the city until the day after the killing. He went
directly to Chicago, and 1t was not until two
weeks after Cox's death that q Pullman-car por-
ter reported to the police that he saw the man
they wanted in that city. With little trouble he
was broughtto the Jail here.
Yesterday a jury was procured as follows:
William NJ. Harrison, Anton Wiesse, Samuel
Vancamp, e. s.. Reed. David Beverliu, James
Robinson, John III. McCloskey, A. s. Burt, Jacob
CRUDE, William r. Miller. Thomas ]. Pease and
A. j. Boyer.
The important feature Of evidence for the
prosecution yesterday was offered by Nathan
Beulah. He said Mitchell told him and James
Powell, while the three were sitting by the stove
in Roberts's saloon. over which Cog had his
room, what he would do If the latter attempted
to interfere with him. The talk was brought
about by Cox then being above stairs. Within q
few minutes Mitchell wanted the witress to 60
up stairs with him and shoot Cox. The trial
will be resumed to-day.

Complaint was made to Mayor Denny yester-
day that a man named William Burgess, who
lives in a miserable howell north Of Brookside
avenue. has been treating his little step
daughter, a child Of five, in q most inhumanly
cruel manper. Mayor Denny and Superintendent
Lang went out yesterday forenoon to investigate
the truth of the charges. The little girl was
found at the house Of a neighbor, Jacob Luke,
her only garments being two calico slips, and
shoeless. Her limbs. face and feet have been
badly frost-bitten, and were in distressing con-
dition. The neighbors say, and the child cor
roborates them, that Burgess, during the severe
cold weather of December and January, COM
PEELED the child to sleep on the bare floor with
out covering, and forced her to go long
distances on errands, when she had no stockings
and badly dilapidated shoes. On one occasion he
is said to have thrown the child over the fence
into the road, her arm being broken by the fall,
and the arm shows plainly that it has been
broken. The little one was taken TO the Orphan
Home and cared for. The grand jury will be
called upon to indiet Burgess for assault and
battery with intent to kill

Suggestions for the Money Yet to Be Raised
An Opportunity for Larger Subscriptions.

AS the left hand amount increases, that at the
right hand grows smaller, and the friends Of the
enterprise take heart.
Now is the time for some who are inclined to
help on this movement to make good, generous
subscriptions, and thus to make success certain.
With one-third Of the necessary amount raised
in small sums, showing well-nigh universal in
terest in the project, the point has certainly been
reached where a like proportion, the second $l1,-
GOO. might. with propriety be made up of larger
contributions. Two of So, 500 each, and six of
9 1000, would do this, after which the remaining
$13, 600 would almost raise itself. Quite a number
who have already subscribed small amounts have
announced their intention of increasing their
gifts, and many of the donors have, from the
first, intended to raise the figures opposite their
names. This feeling will grow stronger and
stronger as people begin to understand that the
money put into this new building is not q tenn
porary investment, but is to be permanent,
always at work and bringing back to them ever
increasing dividends. Another list Of names
will be published on Saturday morning. and
solicitors should make prompt reports to the Sec
rotary on Friday evening.
