half the stories about the wholesale bribery
of voters IS true. One good thing, however,
was accomplished. The property qualifica-

how politics in that State will be affected by
the addition of new class of voters.

PETITION DISSATISFACTION Monday The Or
phans' Court met and heard arguments on q
petition from Mary and Martha Richardson,
representatives of John and VIM J. Richard
son, deceased, praying that the accounts of
Charlton w. Billingslea, executor of Richard
Green, that were passed in 1863 and 1875, be
opened and re-stated and certain alleged irregu-
larites, overcharges, &c, corrected.
Richard Green was the owner of the Hartford
Iron Furnace, and was also largely interested
in the Ashland Iron Company and in certain
quarries, &C.. in Baltimore county He died
in 1861, leaving Charlton w. Billngslea
and Greenbury Richardson as his execu-
tors. The latter, at his own request,
was relieved of the charge, and the entire es-
tate was settled by Mr.. Billingsea. The estate
was very complicated one and involved a
vast amount of labor in its settlement. Judge
Billngslea's accounts were duly examined and
passed by the Orphans Court, and releases
from the legatees were signed and recorded,
and the estate was finally closed in 1879.
The case was argued for the petitioners by
Mr.. VIM. II. Harlan, and for the defendant by
Hon. Henry d. Faruandis. The Orphans
Court dismissed the petition, the petitioners
TO pay the costs.

The election of General Boulangcr to the
French Chamber of Deputies by vote of
about GO00O, coming close upon his deposi.

believed to indicate a warlike feeling in
France which may soon sweep away all re-
straints and plunge that country into con-
test with Germany. When the torch of war is
once lighted in Europe no one can tell where
the flames will be stayed. A general Euro
pean war would probably mean higher prices

A M.rrlape rhat was. Failure.
A Paris letter to the New York Herald

A Paris letter to the New York Herald
says: Another failure must BE added to
the long list of unhappy unions of Eu-
ropean titles and American dollars. To-
night Paris is talking about the sudden
termination of the honeymoon Of the
Count and Countess di Montecarle, nee
Miss Virginia Knose. The marriage was
celebrated about a fortnight ago in Pitts
burg with great eclat. The bridegroom
arrived in Paris last Sunday and engaged
rooms at the Hotel Bellevue, preparatory
to continuing his journey to a castle which
the count said his mother had on the
AdIiatic. 1t was apparent the bride was
not happy. Early Monday morning the
guests were aroused by shricks from
the countess chamber, followed by cries
for help. The guests hastily ran into the
corridors, and the manager of the hotel
burst open the door and found the count
css struggling with the brutal husband,
her hair disheveled, her nightdress torn
and her body bruised. The count re-
leased his victim, who rushed TO the man
ager, crying besccchingly: Save me
from him! Turn him out of the hotel
He has got no money! lie can't pay you
Turn him out!'
The count protested against interior
cnce and attempledto pull his wife back,
whereupon she gave him d singing blow
In the face with her clcnched
fist. He tried to return the blow,
but was prevented by the man
ager and guests. The unfortunate bride
told the manager she had been thoroughly
deceived in her husband. She believed
him a man Of means, but learnt too late
that he was not only penniless, but an in
human brute.
AT first she supplied him literally with
money, but nothing seemed to satisfy
him. When she refused 10 give him
more he commenced beating her. The
manager told the couple he could not
allow the guests TO be disturbed and that
they must leave the hotel Immediately.
The unfortunate wife deeply felt the dis.
grace, burst into tears and pleaded to be
allowed to remain, but the manager was
! memorable and they were obliged to
leave. They took an early train for Italy.
