CRUELTY TO CHILDREN CASE.
A Queer Ending in that ola stuIs Pays
His Wife's Fine.

The hearing in the case of Sarah f.
Stuls, accused of cruelty to her four
year-old step-daughter, was resumed in
the Mum cipal Court last evening. After
hearing testimony as to the extent of the
ehild's injuries, Walter H. Hayes, Esq.
counsel for the woman, asked
that the husband be called to
the stand which was accordingly
done. The result was some surprising
testimony. la answer to Mr.. Hayes s
questions the man admitted that his name
was not Stuls, but Strickhauser that he
had known his present wife for years,
she having first come to his house as a
servant when Il years Of age that he
had left his real wife i'll and after going
70 York, Pa, and Baltimore, Md, with
the accused woman they had come TO
this city and lived together; that his
wife died while he was living here and
that he then married the young woman,
and that he had struck and illused her
on Thursday evening last.
In the fact Of this Testimony George
4. Brown, counsel for the Society
for he Prevention Of Cruelty to Children
asked for the custody OF the
child and the fning Of the woman. Judge
Bah refused to grant the first request,
but fined the woman S15 and costs,
which was promptly paid by tho hus-
band. The man said afterwards that ne
proposed sending the children to his
mother in Philadelphia.

blacks in Wilmington, only about $40
have the right to vote.

An Autograph Letter Sent to
the First Harrison
Club.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 16.-Gen.
Harrison passed very quiet day. In
fact, he had fewer callers to-day than
on any day since his nomination. and
the rest proved very grateful to him.
He was at work in his library with his
secretaries this morning, and did not
venture out of the house during the
entire day, acting under his physicians
instructions in this particular. He said
he felt very much refreshed this morn
ing when he began debating replies to
the bushels of letters that had accumu-
lated over Sunday. He is an unusually
fast worker, and dictates several hum
the day he would lie down on the
lounge in his library and continue his
literary work. After dinner he CON-
planned of feeling badly again and
experienced an occasional renewal of
the neuralgia pain in his side. DR..
Jameson called during the afternoon
and found that the generals distress
was due largely to the effects Of the
medicine administered Saturday while
he was suffering with sharp pains. He
quickly relieved his patient, and then
ordered the discontinuance of all medi-
cines, stating that all the medicine now
required was few days rest and quiet,
and he would be all right again. HIS
illness has resulted in the loss of con-
siderable sleep. which is not surprising,
when it is recollected that he has shaken
hands with about $4,000 people since his
nomination. He looks forward to
quiet week, with the exception of
Thursday, when he will receive about
5000 visitors from Illinois and Southern

Bismarck as a Swordsman.

The chancellor, while a student at
Goettingen, by his skill and strength
gained the reputation of being a crack
swordsman. 1t is said that he chal-
lenged two students the very first day
he came to GOettingen, and afterward
defeated both, although they had had
much experience. A very cunning trick
i'll escaping an attempt made by a
''pedell." university officer, to break
upa fights credited to Bismarck. When
he was at Jena on visit, arrangements
were made for him to fight duel at
WoelinitZ, small village. The ''pedelr"
-kahle by name-waS very much dis
liked by the students, as he had
often interrupted their fights. He had
gotten knowledge thereof. and on the
morning fixed for the fight had gone to
Woelinitz and hid himself under a large
barrel used in brewery. He had
placed the barrel in such position that
he could overlook the dueling place
through the bunghole, intending to see
all the fight and get the names of all the
principals. Kahle'S presence was
noted, however, by some peasants, and
by Bismarck's suggestion the barrel was
suddenly turned around so that the hole
stood against the wall. Several students
seated themselves upon the barrel, and
remained there until all the fights had
been finished. when the unlucky
''pedell'' was released from his prison
and heartily laughed at, 1t is fact
that Bismarck shortly afterward was
ordered to leave the city by the univer-
Sity authorities.
