THE dixie CASE.
Comments OF the London Press OIL
the Verdict.

Comments OF the London fress OH
the Verdict.
LONDON, July 24.-The Telegraph, conf
menting on the verdict in the Dixie Craw-
ford case, says:
1.-THE whole case and the result is public
calamity There was q time when Dixie
seemed to stand measurable distance from
the post OF premier. Many and most vaua-
BILE are the services he has rendered to the
generation. and we heartily wish that to emu
merate them could palliate the acts of which
he is accused. We hope it will be considered
enough to accept the simple conclusion of
the jury, without taking as proved all the de-
plorable incidents of the story"
THE TIMES SAYS:
1t is best to pass in silence the passionless
nastiness, worthy Of yahoos, which was
the subject of the inquiry. This is a m1sera-
bic close to useful public career, but the
public aspect of the case cannot be passed
over. Ii the jury was right there was delib-
crate, systematic and renewed perjury, even
possible subornation of perjury, and con-
spiracy rarely witnessed. 1t was incumbent
on those responsible for the administra ton
of the criminal law to consider carefully and
honestly what their duty is in the circum-
stances. 1t would be unfortunate If any pre-
text should be given to the nation that there
is one law for the poor and another for the
rich.
THE PAIL MALL GAZETTE
says that the result of the Crawford divorce
case strengthens the hypothesis of Sir
Charles bikes innocence and that the
case cannot be permitted to be closed yet,
but that either Sir Charles must find
Fanny" and prosecute Mrs. Crawford for
perjury, or the crown must prosecute Dixie
for the same Offense.

She Thought They Were Stolen. But
They Are Returned.
Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 24.-The
Baroness Won Open is an elderly Russian
lady who has been resident of England
since her divorce from her husband some
years ago. She yesterday afternoon paid a
brief but very exciting visit to Philadel-
pha, coming here from New York. On the
journey here she lost jewels valued at S13 !.
600. Baroness Won Open is connection
of the Jerome family of New York. 1t
was not to visit them, however, but for the
purpose of travel that she came to this
country in the latter part of June. She
is woman of fine attachments and
devoted to literary pursuits. Since
her arrival in this country,
neighborhood of Fifth avenue and Twenty
second street. New York. Yesterday
afternoon she came here, arriving at Broad
street station about o'clock. She was ac-
companied by Mile. Pauline Ronaud, her
French maid and they brought with them
great deal of baggage. They took cab
and droye to the Hotel Lafayette. The
baroness was about to register when she
suddenly discovered that her jewel case
was missing. The driver of the cab was
searched and when his innocence was es-
tablshed the baroness handed him SO.
While waiting to return to New York she
told this story:
When we boarded the train at Jersey City it
was too crowded with passengers for my
maid and myself to secure seats together I'M
less we had gone into the smoking car. We
were forced to take seats far apart l sat by
the side of a lady of refinement, elegantly
dressed and decidedly good-looking. Soon we
engaged in conversation which was very
agreeable. revealed who was and she told
me her name. What it exactly was l now
forget, but it was Robinson, Rogerson, or
some such name. When the collector came
around opened my bag to get my ticket
Seeing my jewel case the thought struck me
to show her its contents. which did She was
delighted with them-diamond necklace, dia-
mond and pearl pendants, diamond brooch
and bracelets etc., valued IN all at about
S13, 900. at Trenton the lady got Off. She
had large number of small parcels, which
she carried in her arms. In some manner
when She was going out she must designedy
or by accident have taken up my bag. l be-
gan reading when she left and did not mss
the reticule until was about to register.
Strange as the story appears, the char
acter of the baroness precluded the posi-
bility of doubt as to its truthfulnesS. She
brought with her credentials from some of
the highest dignitaries in the British Isles,
among them Lord Randolph Churchill, DR..
Alexander, Bishop of Derry; Mr.. La
bouchere. editor of Truth, and Mr.. Edward
Yates, editor of tn, World. Tonight the
chief of police received the following dis
patch from her:
Trenton, N. j., July "a, 1sS6.-Have found
Mrs. Rodgers. She took my reticule by mis-
take. Everything safe. She had sent ad-
vertisements to New York Herald and Phila-
delphia Ledger. Tell reporters not to make
it appear that she stole them.

Fatal Rivalry.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 24.-The Times
special giving the particulars Of mountain
fight at Hazard, KY, between the French
and EverSole factions has just been received.
The Eversole party were outnumbered and
taken by surprise, and retreated after re-
volver fight of several minutes, resulting in
tue killing of one of the French party and
the wounding of three others. At subse-
quent engagement French and Eversole are
said to have both been killed. French and
Eversole are called rival merchant princes
by mountain customers, who come to trade
at Hazard. mountain town eighty miles
from railroad. They are both educated,
wealthy men and do large business, sell
ing to several counties. The trouble grew
out of business rivalry. Last June French
anticipated trouble and ordered lot of
Winchester rifles and armed men from
Leslie and Bell counties, Kentucky. These
met the Eversole faction Sunday with the
above result. No particulars can be had
owing to the remoteness of the warlike
country. French is Knight Templar OF

LATE ST. PAUL NEWS.
Burglars Caught.

Detectives Dan j. O'Connor and Dan
Ahern apprehended Mickey Mccarthy at
Minneapolis for the burglary of the Cali
fornia wine-house, corner Seventh and
Cedar. Mccarthy was brought in this
morning. He is young char
acter we'll known to the police
as having been implicated in several
scrapes. He admitted that he had taken
the cigars and liquors from the wine house,
but refused to state where they are con-
cealed. Chief Detective John O'Connor
carefully examined him and got clue
in William Hudson, bartender,
to whom the booty is probably
cached. Hudson was also apprehended,
for he is suspected of having accepted the
stolen booty from Mccarthy, or, at least of
possessing some knowledge about where it
was taken to. Over 5000 cigars were
stolen.
AT 1880 yesterday morning it was report
ed to the police that c. w. Youngman's
