All Quiet on the Thames.

LONDON. Feb. l.-Everything is quiet
in the metropolis this morning. Trades
men have reopened their shops, and bust
ness is proceeding as usual. Considerable
uneasmess is, however, still felt lest there
should be further riotous demonstrations.
No disturbances are reported in any
part of London tonight, and public con-
fdencc is restored. The government has
caused circulars to be sent to officials
throughout the country, inquiring into
the extent of the distress existing among
the working people out of employment,
and inviting suggestions as to the best
measures for the relief of the sufferers.
The crown solicitors have advised the gov
ernment that a conviction can probably be
obtained of the Socialist leaders who took
part in the mob proceedings of Monday.
Such conviction would entail two years
penal servitude on each defendant.
The movement for the relief of unem-
ploYed workingmen is spreading to pro-
vincial towns. Two thousand rations and
a large quantity of clothing will be dis
trbuted in Glasgow daily. That the ex-
istence of distress is owing to the severity
of the winter is undisputed.
Placards have been posted in Birming-
ham calling a meeting of unemployed
workmen for Monday next. The placards
are beaded: Come, thou thousandsl
Why starve amid plenty2 Justice to the
starving poorl'
A large meeting of unemployed work
men was held at Norwich last night for
the purpose of urging the authorities to
give to unemployed laborers and mechan-
les work on the new barracks, schools and
iails, instead of employing ~convicts. Sim
liar meetings we're held at Jarrow and
elsewhere.

A MYSTERIOUS Crime.

JERSEY Cry, N. j., Feb. 1l.-On
Friday night last Mrs. Charles s. Hogan,
wife of a Pennsylvania railroad conductor
who resides in an apartment house at
Jersey avenue and Eighth street, called
to a little boy who was passing, to get her
n physician-she was about to be con-
fned-and as DIR. Holcomb, who lived
close by, had attended her, she asked the
boy to summon him. In a few minutes
the boy returned with a man who said he
WIS Dr. A. T. Sayers. As Mrs. Hogan
was in a critical condition, she accepted
his services. He Immediately, she says,
put her under the influence of ether, and
when she recovered from the effects of
the drug she was alone in the room. The
child, of which she had been delivered,
had disappeared, and the only evidence of
its existence left in the room was a small
package which contained a little curl of
golden hair. Mrs. Hogan is of the opin-
ion that the doctor either killed the child
by mistake or was trying to secure Il sub
ject. There is no physician in jersey
City of the name of Sayers. The police
are searching for the alleged physician
and the boy who brought him to the
house.

The %hlce-PhilIips Scandal.

TOLEDO, Feb. lit is learned to-day
that George II. Rice, the prime mover in
the Chicago scandal, was formerly in BUSH
ness in this city under his true name of
George II, Holman, and that he made a
disastrous failure, which the local banks
yet remember. He left the city under n
cloud and changed his name to George
II. Rice. 1t is also learned that Rice was
several years e in the ship timber bust
ness at Defiance, o.. and at that time had
a woman with him, who is now believed
to be wife No. 5. There are other cities
hat would like to have Mr.. Rice square
accounts besides Toledo. Under the name
of George Davenport he, by good be-
havior and shrewd management, was re-
leased from the custody Of the authorities
at Wauseon, o. In that place he was
tried and convicted for double dealing and
obtaining money from farmers by the
tricks which he knows so well and the
schemes he has studied so long. He is
wanted in Illinois, Michigan and Iowa,
and new towns and counties are heard
from every day. A Mrs. Williams, OF
Detroit, is the latest discovered Mrs. Rice.
She stopped in st. Louis with that gem
tlcman for some time, and only disap-
peared when Mrs. Rice Phillips appeared
on the scene.
"What, is there n warrant out against
Rice in this city, and is he really
wanted here p are questions that are of
ten asked. Many have expressed an
opinion hat the officers don't want him.
They would arrest him if they could get
him, but so far he has managed to elude
their grasp, and there is no danger of an
arrest at the present time, since the
notorious Mr.. Rice is in that paradise for
bank cashiers, Canada. The warrant
reads grand larceny. 1t is an old rule in
law that where a man steals another
mans wife and steals her clothes he can
be held for the larceny Of the clothes.
Mr.. Phillips is plotting the only revenge
which he can take. He cannot have Rice
arrested for adultery, for Rice is a single
man, but lie can have him arrested Tor
larceny, and hold him responsible for
everything taken, ever the famous seal
skin sacque which has played such an i'm
portant part in the case As grand lar
ceny is a penitentiary o%ffense, it is not
likely that Rice will venture back to the
trial, or be in a hurry to show himself to
the Toledo officers.
Mrs. Phillips exhibited a marriage Ger
tifcate to-day, given somewhere in Ten
nessee in 1878, but declines to let the
names be seen, All the Chicago witnes
ses are expected in Toledo Thursday for
the trial.

Lillian oLcorT.


To morrow Saturday afternoon Miss
Lillian Olcctt and her accomplished com
pany open at the opera house for two en-
tertainments, They will play Bulwer's
beautiful drama The Lady IF Lyons for
the matinee, and the great New York sue
cess Lyairood, in the evening. OF The
Lady IF Lyons it is useless to speak,
as every theater-goer in the city is ac-
quainted with that charming and stand
ard play. But in it, as Pauline, Miss
0lcott has revived unusual interest, as she
has given that character new and increased
beauty.
Lylcood is founded on an incident of
the war, in which the daughter of a Con
federate colonel, Lucille has a lover,
a Federal officer, who is charged with
killing the brother of the young lady,
and for a time believes himself guilty OF
the murder, until the truth comes TO light
in a very unexpected way. The details
of the plot make the action of the piece
exceedingly interesting, and they produce
many strong and impressive situations.
A fine vein of humor permeatcs the piece,
and all the way throgh it eyokcs the
heartiest applause. The press every
where is enthusiastic in its praise of Miss
Olcott, her beauty, brilliancy and personal
worth. She is the daughter of a wealthy
