CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 25.-A sensational
abduction case was reported to the police
this evening. Miss Tillie Munkarlnan,
aged 20, whose home is in Royalton, a
small village near here has been visiting
her sister in the city for a short time ON
last Thursday evening she started on an
errand. She had gone only few steps
from the house. when, in passing through
the shadow of a building, she was suddenly
seized by two men, one white and the other
colored, bound and gagged and placed in
buggy near at hand. The horse was driven
rapidly away, and no sooner had it
started than Miss Munkerman was chloro-
formed. She lost consciousness and remained
lnSenSlble for some time. Finally she
heard the men talking about going into
saloon before which the horse had stopped.
She remained quiet and they, not knowing
she had recovered consciousness, entered
the saloon. No sooner had they left the
buggy than she jumped out and ran away
as best she could. She was mile from her
SISTERS house and was taken home by a
gentleman from whom she asked protec-
ton. The young lady refused to talk about
the affair for publication. The detectives
are at work on the case. 1t is asserted that
young man in Royalt0n had written COM
promising letters to Miss Munkerman, and
rs prosecution had been threatened it is
suspected that he had something to do with
the abduction.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 25.-In 1851 Alexan-
der Falquet arrived from Berne, Switzer-
land, and settled in Cincinnati. He was
accomplished and reported to be
wealthy. He married Miss Harriet
Collins of this city in November, 1851
They afterwards removed to Fremont,
Ohio. Four children were born to them.
About that time Falquet became enamOred
of another woman, and hearing OF great
estate coming to him. went to Europe
taking his mistress and eldest son with him.
He died almost as soon as he landed in
France. There was a rumOr at the time
he was murdered by persons interested in
the English estate. The wife became in
sane over her troubles and the boys were
scattered. only one living here now. Hugh
Pugh is an old Englishman whd
conducts foreign agency in Cincin-
natl. Thirteen years ago he learned OF
the English estate coming to Falquet, now in
litigation, and that Falquet's heirs were the
legal claimants. They would be barred by
the statute of limitations on Feb. 1st next.
Last Wednesday he accidentally found one
of Falquets sons at Fremont, and through
him learned of another at Bardolph, Ill,
Both of them had forgotten the existence OF
the youngest living heir. Thinking theil
mother might still be alive they inserted an
advertisement i'll Sundays paper, which
was the means of bringing to them al
breakfast this morning the youngest brother,
Mr.. Pugh has spent several Thousand
dollars and has no doubt he will recover thf
English estate for them. 1t is said to b
worth $500, 600. No news has yet beer
heard of the mother of the Falquets nor Of
the eldest boy taken to Europe SO many
wears ago.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-AmOng the pc
titions presented on the assembling Of the
senate to-day was one from Mr.. Mcmillan

proyement of the upper Mississippi river.
Mr.. Hoar from the committee on the judi
ciary reported bill to provide for the set
tlement of the debt of the Pacific railroads.
He also deprecated the practice Of adjourn
ing from Thursdays to Mondays. The bill
for the relief of the Cheyenne Indians came
in from the house. but as many words were
misspelled. rendering the meaning doubtful,
it went over for correction. and Mr. ingalls,
took occasion to remark upon the care
lessness or ignorance" Of house clerks in
this respect. Mr. Berry offered reSolu-
ton deferring the leasing of the Hot
Springs. Ark. in order TO protect the pub
lie and prevent an injurious monopoly.
A fter some debate, in which Logan and
Voorhees, participated. the matter went
over. The electoral count bill was then
taken up and Mr.. Morgan addressed the
senate vigorously, criticising the amend
ment proposed by Sherman, and. supported
by Evarts, giving congress the right to Gre
ate an electoral body. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Morgan's remarks, the senate went
into executive session, and when the doors
reopened, after passing resolutions of SYM
pathy on the death of Congressman Rankin
of Wisconsin and appointing Messrs. saw
yer. Blackburn and Jones (of Arkansas) a
committee to accompany the remains, the

SALTSBURY MUST GO.
The Delicate Position Gladstone
will BE Placed In.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The sudden impor-
tance assumed by the Greek question is
likely to furnish Lord Salisbury an oppor-
tumity for retiring from Office on a question
of foreign rather than of domestic policy.
This is fortunate thing for him. 1t has
for the past forty-eigtIt hours been consid-
cred inevitable that he would resign, and
from time immemOrial il has been
considered less humilialing for
British prime minister TO be defeated
on question of foreign policy than one of
local administration. His retirement and
the reversal of the policy which ordered
Greece to disarm will relegate that bantam
nation into its normal importance by remOy-
ing the preteXt for his infiammatory brag-
gadocio. Then Mr.. Gladstone. forced back
upon home issues will find himself faced by
THE PERPLExITIEs
of one compelled to formulate a govern
ment policy while yet uncertain of his fol-
lowing. The real extent to which England
is willing TO go in concessions to Ireland
will then be tested All that is known
now is that Lord Salisbury's policy of no
concession at all does not command a
majority. Mr.. Gladstone. however, will
have a difficult task to get a majority of
Wings and moderate Conservatives who
will be willing TO make concessions 10
Parnell and still not be controlled by him
by reason OF needing his eighty-six votes on
questions of general policy. No one is so
confident of his ability to do this as is the
''grand old man."
The people are wondering whether the
pope has suddenly abandoned his recently
declared policy of nOn-interference in the
political affairs of the various governments,
or whether the Moniteur De Rome, so long
the recognized organ of the vatican, has
ceased to occupy that enviable position.
The article published in that journal to-day,
bitterly denouncing Queen Victoria OH that
portion of the speech from the throne,
which insisted upon the maintenance of the
UNION WITH IRELAND
at all hazards, is certainly in fragrant con-
traventiOn of the pOpe's utterances in APP
proving the manifesto of the Spanish bish-
ops. The pontifical policy then cOnspicu-
ously proclaimed was the total abstention
from any mediating with the local political
controversies. Nor does this declaration
stand alone, for it has been borne out by
all the subsequent actions of his
holiness. 1t is well known that
Leo XIII. aspires to the position
of an arbitrator and peacemaker between
nations as he intimated more than once in
his expressions of satisfaction as being
chosen TO settle the difficulty between Ger

AttemPf to Blow up n House in

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 25.-An attempt
was made at 1880 o'clock tonight to de
stroy the house of Officer George E. COrver
of the Cleveland police force. at 90 Chester
street, with dynamite. Officer COrver was
not at home, his wife ard infant child
being in bed at the time. Mrs. COrver was
awakened by a loud report, and hastily
arising she went to the front part of the
house and discovered that the front door
had been shattered and the porch blown
away. She saw man on the opposite side
of the street and called to him, but he made
no reply. She then procured arevOlver and
discharged it in the air to attract the at
tentiOn of the neighbors. Assistance
came at once. and it was found
that dynamite had been placed under
the stOOp, with the evident intention
OF blowing up the house and its inmates.
COrver is the officer who on last Tuesday
night shot and killed tho notorious burglar
and thief. George Foster. The police be-
lieve that one of Fosters pals planned the
explosion through motives of revenge. The

Objecting TO sunday Trains.

Special 20 the Globe.
PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. 25.-The grand
jury of this city for the past two or three
days has been making thorough investiga-
ton to ascertain whether or not the law re-
stricting the running of trains on Sunday

been awaited with a good deal of in
tereSt. To-day they came into the

Norfolk & Western Railroad company

vides that no railroad company shall unload
