The Empire CIub Case.

The case of @. solari, charged with
keeping a Sunday bar, was tried before
Justice Montgomery this morning. The
defense offered was that the drinking
which the officer saw going on was under
the protecting wing of the Empire Club,
an organization for social and literary
purposes, and entirely Independent of hfs
bar Mr.. Solari merely sold the club
liquor. The Court instructed the jury
that if they found that this was a bona
iide club, organized without the purpose
of assisting Mr.. Solar, he should be ac-
quilted.
A verdict of not guilty was returned.

ERIAL ToRpEpoEs.
Lieutenant Graydon's Latest Invention
and what is Claimed for IL.

The nrial torpedo invented by Lieut.
James w. Graydon is to carry 500 pounds
of the new and latest explosive, "tearite,"
itself one Of the Lieutenant's discoveries,
and ten times as destructive as explosive
gelatine. 1t is also free from the danger
of shock or heat. All guns of the army
and navy may be used in the projection
of these torpedoes with great accuracy,
immense destructive power and flat ira
jectory. No alteration will be required in
the S-inch, 9-inch, 10-inch, 11-inch or 10
inch guns as at present mounted on our
war ships or sea coast defenses, but those
guns are made torpedo throwers' to
their full range of four or five miles, and
with their full charge of powder as the
propelling force. These claims, it is said,
will be amply demonstrated by the pro-
posed dynamite and high explosive tests
at Fort Monroe, for which the House
Military Committee recommends the ap.
preparation of $4,000.

quarters.
Lieutenant Smith of the Alexandria
police had a conference with Major Moore
to-day concerning the extradition of Billy
Williams, the alleged murderer of Police
man Julian Arnold in Alexandria. It
was decided to turn Williams over to
Lieutenant Smith at once, which was
done. A detective was detailed to assist
him in taking the prisoner to the Il. and
p. station, the Lieutenant considering it
safer to take him by rail than by water.
The jail in which Williams is to be con-
fined and from which he escaped, has
been repaired and strengthened, and
close watch will be kept on him.
There Is an Indictment IN this CITY
against Williams for housebreaking in
East Washington. He was surrendered
to the Virginia authorities because they
had the greater charge against him.

A Chinese Romance.

From Chi Nan Flu comes this story,
which illustrates Chisese life First the
marriage of the daughter of the governor,
Chang Yoa. Years ago, wien his excel
lency was an official of less importance,
he became acquainted with a person of
the rank of perfect, vino had son who
seemed worthy of being engaged to his
daughter. Since then the perfect died,
while Chang Yoa advanced from Que
position to another, until by rare fortune,
he has became the gosernor of Shnntung.
The one family became poorer and poorer,
while the other gained relish for pomp
and wealth, ease and honor. The intend
ell son-in. law being urged by personal
friends appeared at last at the governors
yamen. Being dressed in unseemingly
costume, he was ignored by some, but at
last got his letter in to the governor.
The governor seemed to forget the plan
of the past, but in due time he came to
the conclusion that it was better to follow
out the engag agement than bring himself
into lisrepute. A house was secured in
few days-now n week agO-the
marriage occurred. All the inferior Off
GERS appeared ready with presents. and
now the young man is higher up in the
world. Such is "a romance OF Chinese
life
