The sensation Of the day in New
York society is Mrs. James Potter
Browns determination not to ap-
pear in public again. She never
has played except for charity, and
has taken umbrage at the talk ex-
cited by her recitation of "Ostler
Joe" She has for a long time been
an amateur actress and very much
interested in stage performances.
As an entertainer she has no SUI
perior. and has been known to pre-
side over a company at breakfast,
play in the Russian Honeymoon at
Il matinee for some charitable pur-
pose and lead the german in the
evening. She got along very well
until she went to Washington, and
her experience there has disgusted
her with the hypocrisy of social
life. The storm of criticism which
her recitation of "Ostler Joe"
aroused, has worked such a change
in her ambitions that she will not
only go on the stage, but Will APP
pear no more in public perform
ances either as an actress or recita-

THE SOCIALISTS.

The gang of lazy, drunken louis
who are now clamoring Communism
and Socialism in Chicago ought all
to be smashing rock in the Joliet
Penitentiary. They are trying to
identify themselves with the Labor
movement and calling for eight
hours as a day work. These YER
min ridden, gin soaked, dirt in
crusted buns would not work an
hour day at ten dollars an hour if
they could congregate in some low
resort and blather about their
rights.
They are simply the scum OF the
criminal element Of their own
country and ought never to be per
mitted to land in America. They
attempt to identify themselves
with the Labor movement when
they are no part Of it whatever, and
the sober. Industrious. working
men repudiate this miserable whelp
age from the Socialists kennel
There is but one class Of men in
America who deserve to be ranked
with them, and this is the class OF
people who insist that they are
unable to distinguish the difference
between the followers of Herr Most
and Powderly. There are men
blinded by coin and prejudice, who
keep up the cry that a lot of knayes
and lunatics who parade the streets
ciamoring for the heads of capital
lists, and honest, weli-meaning
workingmen, demanding arbitra
ton to settle long endured wrongs, |
present one and the same picture.
The editors who in the interest |
of corporations write such stuff de
serves to be classed with the idiots
and fanatics who are just now
crowding to hear Herr Most's crazy
harangues in Chicago.

SHE CONVINCED THE JURY.
How n wOmaa Got Her share OF .
large Fortune.

P~oTTsvILLE, Pa, January 29.-When
Catharine Rooney Of Shenandoah died
in 1872, leaving an estate valued at
100000, the residence Of only two OF
her four children was known, The
other two had not been.heard from
since 1855. A daughter left home
when quito a young girl, and hired
out as a servant In Philadelphia. She
subsequently married Jspea Bowers,
and with him, soon after the close OF
the war, visited her old home, soon
after which abe was not heard from.
Her brother John enlisted with the
three months men, and was known
to have subsequently re.enlistsd for
three years. AZ he was not heard
from again his two brothers in Shenan-
doah thought he had fallen in battle
during the war. When Mrs. Rooney
died the two missing heirs were adj
vertised for for a long time, but moth
ing wa ever heard OF them. In 1883
a letter vas sent TO the mayor OF Phila-
delphia, and he again advertised for
the missing Mrs. Bowers. Through
this she was discovered. She had
meanwhile moved to Chester comfy
and married Nicholas Blsnk, with
whom she had lived on a farm. She
replied TO the mayors advertisement,
and when informed Of the fortune
awaiting her, announced that she
knew the whereabouts OF the missing
brother also. He hsd entered the
regular army at the close OF the war,
and at the end Of five years, incapaci-
tSted by wounds, went to Philadel-
phia and found his sister. She had
him lodged in an asylum, where he
still Ia. She applied to her brothers
at Shenandoah for her share Of the
money, but they heard her story with
discredit. She had herself appointed
a committee Of her insane brother. and
in his name, as well az her own, insti-
tuted suit. The case was tried yester-
day. Mrs. Blank wen on the stand
aud told her story with dramatic effect.
She had, in the last two yearp, gath

NKw YoRK, January 27.-It is prob
able tina! Mr.. Jay Gould will return
to New York by way OF Europe,
crossing in his yacht from Havana 10
Havre along the warn belt. 1t ID
known that he desires 10 take q good
long holiday, and that his affairs are
in such shape that be can take 1t now
without imperiling them.
The Times OF this morning has q
sensational dispatch of q column, Oh
tensibly from Charleston, very bitter
in its d%enunciation OF Gould. II al
leges that he ia accompanied by pri-
vate detectives, who go ahead and find
ont IL any enemy is lying In wait for
him before he proceeds; that his do
tective service costs him much more
than all OF his clerk hire, and that he
dares not travel on his Southwestern
railway for fear OF being asBsssinated,
This was q surprise 70 New Workers,
who have been accustomed TO seeing
Mr.. Gould everywhere and at all
times unaccompanied, and who re-
member that there were no detectives
TO defend the small maj when Selover
threw him over the railing In Wall
street, or later when a too greedy bear
Slapped his face in Delmonico's. The
article was shown to-day to Washing-
ton +. Conner, the millionaire who
got rich as Gou!d's partner, and he
laughed and said:
"Mr. Gould's fault Is that he takes
100 many risks. He not only goes
everywhere unaccompanied by detect
ivee, or even by friends, but he
DOESN'T take proper care OF his locemo-
ton. He Is often thinking about bus
mess on the street when he ought to
be thinking about where he 10 step-

Presidential election, when oil seemed

gathered around this building aud
yelled for Mr.. Gould. Not finding
him here, they went mp 10 the West

attack II. Mr.. Gould had goue homo,
aud | happened to be with him q. his

when he got q dispatch from the West

and handed IL TO me. II was some
thing like this:
"'Large mob has been here threat

81 then handed It back to him. He
tore II up and flung II in the CRATE,
saying: Il guess that isn't dangerous2'
and took up the Wabash talk where
he had left II of. Next morning l
met him at the elevated station. He
had walked over from his house, as
usual, though three or four OF the
papers were deDouncing him and
doing everything they could to stir up
q riot. He then told me that the
figures looked as II Cleveland was
elected, and he should make the an
nouncement, which he did. / have

GALVESTON, TEX, January ga

Duncan and Deputy-Sherif Seeley OF
Freestone county came to this city last
night and surrendered themselves to
the authorities, saying that they had q

that the officers came 70 Dallas edDee-
day morning with q warrant for the
arrest Of Jesse Bonner, O resident of
Navarro county, who was charged
with horss-stealing. They started for
his house later In the day, and reached
IL about z pm. Not expecting resist.
ance they entered the house without
drawing their agms, but had not gone
beyond the doorsill before throe of
the inmates opened fire, Jesse Bonner
and one Of the two unknown men
with revolvers and the other with a
shotgun. The officers drew their re-

at Duncan's face and firing, but without
effect. A moment later Bonner had
tripped over and thrown the detective
TO the floor, at which Deputy Sheriff
Seely, who stood only three feet from
Duncan, shot Bonner In the right side,
laying him low. Just then the light
went out, but the shooting went on in
the darkness, both sides taking aim
by the flashes from their opponents.
Duncan before rising shot down u
CT the unknown men who stood over
him, and in the course of the battle
o woman Yelled "My child is killed;
oh, my childr" The firing did not
csase until the last round OF ammuui-
ton was exhausted and the crowd re-
treated. Neither Duncan nor Deputy
Sheriff Seely could say what the &C.
tual outcome OF the fight was, as being
without ammunition they deemed it
best to make their escape as rapidly
as possible, lest reiniorcements might
arrive for their opponents. Sheriff
Smith Of Dallas, started for the scene
last night to investigate the matter,
but has not yet returned.

ST. LOUIS, No., January 29.-The
second part OF the great match be-
tween DR.. Zukertort and Herr StsinitE
for $4,000 and chees championship Of
the world, begins here tomorrow.
Both contestants are on the ground
eager for the fray. Both are in excel
lent health and cheerful spirits. DR..
Zukertort having beaten his adversary
four games ont OF FIVE is sanguine Of
success, but confesses the CREST diff.
Guilty Of the task before him. On the
other hand, SteinitI Is not a whit less
hopeful that victory will perch upon
his banners. He claims that he Lost
three games In New York lset week
by ~egregious plumbers, such rs even
Q third-rate player should feel ashamed
Of: that he was dazed for q time and
failed to exercise his normal powers.
Being handicapped by the loss OF four
games, he feels the greater necessity
for exeiting his utmost skill In the re-
naming parties. With the bet
ting fraternity Zukertort IS
the favorite at odds Of three
TO two, but many even wsgers have
te,n made. Yesterday Zukertort re-
marked to a reporter: ut will net do
for me TO be too confident, because l
know S.einitz's remarkable staying
qualities. Frequently when he is ap-
p~arently in a hopeless condition he
suddenly RECEIVERS his wonted powers
and reverses matters, turning a defeat
into a victory. While / regard my vic
tory az pretty we'll assured, yet l muet
not for a moment relax my care" II
Is believed by experts here that Stei-
nitz having discovered the inherent
weakness OF his bizarre defense to the
Queens gambet," will abandon his
hoppy and conform to the system
elaborated by the celebrated La Bour-
donnais in his matches with Melon
nell, nearly half a century ago. Max
Judd and a numSer Of chess magnates,
who are here to watch the met,b,
opine that ere either combatants scores
three games, at least hall a dozen
draws will have occurred. There is 10
diminution in the public interest
which this contest excites.
Later.-The chess match between
Zukertoit and SteinitH, which II
seems was expected to be resumed
here to-day, will not reopen until next
Wednesday, the local committee hay
ing to-day arranged II that effect. The
games will be played at the Harmonic
Club, corner OF Olive and Eighteenth
streets, where arrangements have been
made TO accommodate a limited num-
Der cf spectators.
