ROMANCE AND LUCRE.
Fanny Bakers S45 900 Judgment Against
William G. Barrows.


William G. Bsrrows.
TROY On. ", May 11th.-A most ro-
mantle breach of promise case has Just
ended here. The Superior Court, sitting at
Sandy Hill, Washington county, awarded
Fanny J. Baker 5000. The suit was
brought against William G. Barrows. 1t
was alleged that the parties became en-
gagged on July 10, 1885, and the contract
was broken on June 10. 1887, when the de-
fendant married Miss Buckley.
Miss Baker swore that from the time of
the engagement until the contract was
formally broken, about two years sgo, she
received upward of 800 letters from Barrows.
One hundred of the amatory epistles she
brought into the Courtroom, but the others
were lost or mislaid. She was employed as
a school teacher up to the time of the en-
gagement, but after that, at the request of
Mr.. Barrows, relinquished her position and
occupied her time IN answering his letters
and preparing for the wedding. Besides
the loss of her salary, she expended about
$500 to get ready for the nuptials.
At the request of her counsel, Miss
Baker unlocked little black satchel filled
with love-letters. She read several in
which the defendant professed love in the
most ardent terms. In one he wrote that
without her life would be an aching void.
If he thought he could not win her heart
or hand he would not commit suicide or
| seek drunkard's grave, but would hence
forth live the life of recuse, devoting his
days to God and her memory.
Miss Baker was followed on the stand by
the defendant, who practically admitted all
she said. He testified that he at one time
entertained the most ardent affection for
Miss Baker, but had broken the contract
because he became smitten with the per-
sonal charms of Miss Buckley, whom he
married.
Barrows was poor until he married Miss
Buckley, who is an heiress

OF the Lake Superior Lumber Company of
Wisconsin, before the Senate Committee on
Indian Traderships in regard to the Agent

one which will not appear in the record.
During the course of the long eross-ex-

that he mad no right to exploit their private

respect to Colonel w F. Villas, who, he
said, owned 240 shares of the face value

The Lynchins of Young Wright Likely to
Lead to Further Trouble.
Copyright 1883, by the California associated Press
ST. HELENA, May 11th.-There is still
much excitement here relative to the recent
hanging of young Wright few days ago.
The better class of citizens, including such
men as II. A. Pellet, Charles Krug, George
A. higgins, H. KirchWeiger and others are
not afraid to denounce the diabolical pro-
ceedings in unmeasured terms, stigmatiz-
ing it as the doings of midnight mob, and
wholly unwarranted, besides the strong
possibility of doing immense injury TO the
future prospects of the town. The weak
and timid citizens are afraid to express
themselves, but the conduct of some of the
town and county officials in going to bed
at midnight, knowing or having reason to
suspect that the lynching was probable, is
justly and severely denounced.
The names of the men who did the in
famous midnight work are now pretty
generally known. They include the sons
of some of the leading families in this vi
cinity, and it is strongly limited that, mas
much as they are all known to the relations
of the boy who was thus cowardly slaugh-
tered at midnight a sufficient sum of
money will be raised to cause the arrest
and trial of those who participated in the
diabolical proceedings.

Carnarvon Explains His Idea of an Irish
Self-Government Scheme.

Carnarvon Explains His Idea of an Irish
Self-Government Scheme.
LONDON, May 11th.-Lord Carnarvon, in
reply to Parnell, explains the point of his
idea of proper basis for Irish selfgoVern-
ment as follows:
First-The supremacy of the Crown and
an Imperial Parliament of ultimate resort.
Second-The control of the police and
the appointment of the judiciary by the
Crown.
Third-The limitation of local taxation
to such extent as to prevent injustice.
Fourth-A reasonable satisfying Of the
people of Ulster.
Fifth-The whole to be preceded by some
land settlement.
To these Carnarvon says must be added
the separation of the legislative and exc
cutive functions. He detailed very fully
the difficulties of such scheme, but, right
or wrong. he says the scheme is utterly i'm
possible now, Gladstone having destroyed
all chance of a reasonable settlement on
such basis.
Lord Carnarvon then deals with the
Crown Colony idea in similar detail and
gives his opinion that though the plan is
a difficult one, it is not impossible. He
says his ideas are solely his own, and that
his late colleagues are in no way respon-
sible for them.
