A Strange Story,

MAN WHO DESERTED HIS FAMILY RETURNS
AFTER TWELVE YEARS QUITE WEALTHY.
From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
sensation was created in Owensburg, KY,
by the announcement of the arrival of a
former citizen, Bera Spurrier, of whom moth
ing has been heard for twenty-five years.
Spurrier was the son of a noted Methodist min
lister of the olden times, and had splendid
education. At an early age he married well,
and life was very bright for him. He de-
veloped0passion for gambling, however, and
before long had lost everything he had. reduc-
ing himself and family almost to starvation.
One morning he left home to go to neighbor-
ing town, promising to be back Mt night He
did not return. A week later his coat was
found torn to pieces, and it was noised about
that he had been murdered by a fellow gam
bier. Two weeks later the suspected man was
seen riding the horse that Spurrier had
ridden away. The body was not found
however, and no arrests were made. The gam
bier died a few months later under suspicion
and it was said made a confession of murder to
his physician. Twenty years later brother of
the missing man received letter from him.
The brother tried to keep the receipt of the
letter a secret, but boy caught sight of it and
and children of the matter. The brother was
immediately besieged about it, but he denied
the letter or that he knew anything of the
wanderer. year later on bed of sickness
he confessed that he knew of his whereabouts
He said that Spurrier made a great stake in St.
Louis and had finally settled down in Hickory
County, Missouri, subsequently removing to st.
Joseph, where he embarked in business under
an assumed name. He was highly successful
and was wealthy at the time of the writing of
the letter, by which the clue was obtained by
his family. His oldest son at that time set on
foot an investigation of the matter, but being
apprised of the search he suddenly closed out
his business and disappeared. This was twelve
years ago.
People were found in st. Joseph who knew a
portion Of his history, but all traces Of him
were lost, and never a word was heard from
him until his arrival home. He brings with
him evidence of wealth, and says he has come
back to redress, as far possible, the wrong
inflicted by his heartless desertion His wife.
left with family of small children, struggled
along and brought them up respectfully,
though always poor. They are now good citizens,
and the wife, nearly seventy years of age, has
been tenderly cared for by her children. The
meeting between the couple was somewhat
strained at first, but soon the warmth of old
years took possession of Them and the recon-
ciliation is said to be perfect. The reunion OF
all their children, six in number, was held, and
the sequel of the unhappy story promises to be
a happy one,

Twelve years ago Charles H. Baker was
known as the richest man in Winston County,

and the will which his widow filed made no
mention of the three children by the first wife.
The latter contested the will, and an expensive
litigation followed, which finally resulted in
favor of the widow. An injunction restraining
Mrs. Baker from taking charge of the property
followed and the day after the Injunction was
served Baker himself turned up and claimed
his property. The yellow fever had deprived
him of his reason, and he had drifted here and
there as common tramp, finally turning up
at Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic. where
he was taken to a hospital and ultimately cured
He then worked his way as a common sailor to
New Orleans, and, after many hardships,
reached home only to find large share of his
property wasted in litigation and his family
broken up by the quarrel over the settlement
he says the children of his first wife were right
in claiming that his latest will gave them an
equal share of the property. The contest and
the unexpect ted denouement form one OF the
most remarkable cases on record

A Clever Swindle.

FROM the 81. james Gazette
An ingenious stroke of business has been done
by swindier who is now being sought for by
the Moscow police. A young man of respecta-
BILE appearance recently entered a jeweler's
shop, selected 1000 roubles' worth of trinkets,
paid down a sum of 500 roubies on account,
took the jewelry and explained that if an as
sistant would accompany him to the neighbor-
ing ONCE OF weil-known wholesale baker the
balance of the sum due would be at once hand
ed over. The baker in question was in the
habit of contracting for supplying large estab-
lishments with bread, and as he was notorious
ly a wealthy man an assistant was allowed to
accompany the adventurer to his house. OF
course, the swindler had already visited the
baker and made him an innocent accomplice.
On entering the Office the adventurer said to
the baker in an off-hand way: This man will
take the 800 that you have arranged to let
me have. He has had 500 rOubles from me-
Please take his receipt and oblige me by at
tending to him quickly. I must be off. Good
day. The bakers reply was a respectful Ger
tainly, sir; good day." He told the assistant to
sit down and wait for few minutes, and in the
meantime the swindler vanished. When at last
the baker, after listening at various tubes and
making his replies, announced, 1.-The bread is
to carry it imp for the first time it dawned
upon the victim that in certain circumstances
three thousand five hundred" might allude
not to roubles but to loaves. The swindler had,
in fact, pretended to be the director of an or
phanage, and had intimated that twice o week
until further notice, he should require 8 500
loaves, and that the man who would periodi-
cally call for them would also pay for them in
ready money.

An Old woman's Mistake.


King Humbert has lately had an experience
somewhat similar to that Of the Russian Gar
who once met with Muscovite peasant who
most firmly believed that La Constitution" he
had heard so much talk about was the wife OF
the Grand Duke Constantine. In going through
the town Of Farli in the Romagno he was hailed
by the vivas of the crowd, but among the cries
he could distinctly hear the shrill voice of an
old woman shouting, Long live the king.
Long live the revolution The police soon
seized the vociferous lady, but on examination
by the commissary it TRANSFERRED that her sedi-
tious cry had been raised with the best of in
tentions in the world She had in fact supposed
that the kings wife was named Revolution,
and as inquiry showed that her ignorance was
not assumed for the occasion, she was liber-
ated, after the fact had been duly impressed
on her mind that the strong-minded female,
whose usual dress is Phrygan cap and clas-
sically-draped white sheet, who answers to the
name of "Revolution," is the very last lady a
king would be likely to choose to share his
throne

Lord Dufferin at Rome.


As ambassador at Rome Lord Dufferin quite
realizes the ideal Of the diplomatist as pictured
in novels. A dapper man, with strikingly
handsome, delicate feateres, dandifed in dress
and aristocratic to his glove-tips, he is a great
charmer when it pleases him so to be. Ladies
think him delightful. Men have sometimes
misjudged him at first sight, but have soon
WINGED at feeling the grip Of the iron hand un.
der his kid glove. A trick of half closing his
eyes, a slightly affected drawl in his voice, q
nonchalant demeanor when he enters into con-
versations of the gravest moment, are puzzling
to some men who approach him and Irritating
to others; nor does Lord Dufferin ever quite
renounce pose, except in those brief moments
when, his quick Irish temper being fred by
the stupidity Of somebody under his orders, he
rates the delinquent in set terms.
In all great negotiations his calmness and
studied urbanity are inimitable; but his nature
is imperious through and through, and let his
sensitiveness be touched ever SO little, pride
flashes from his eyes like lightning. Neverthe-
less, his most scathing retorts are always de-
ivered with a cool, hah-amused sarcasm, or
with grave scorn which brings all parleying
to q stop.

Under Water Two DAYS.

from the ST. Jalnes Gazette.
Spain has just launched from the arsenal at
San Fernando the very latest edition of the
torpedo boat The very description reads like
an invention of Jules Verne. She will be large
at least % meters long-and fast Her motive
power will be supplied by 600 accumulators,
and her propelling engines will have 3O-horse
power. For two days she can remain sub
merged without needing to renew her provision
OF air. She will be furnished with torpedoes
of all kinds, and will herself-if it be desired
be capable of being converted into an immense
explosive, fatal to the largest iron-clad. If all
this program can be realized the days of the
invncible Armada seem to about be renewed.
But naval toys don't always answer the wills #
their projectors as our own experiences with
our turret ships very abundantly prove.
