A Social Sensation.

FINDLAY, August 25-Miss Maud Myers
only daughter of Probate Judge Myers was
the cause Of great sensation here yester-
day She brought suit against William I.
Rufer, one of the proprietors of the Ohio
Lantern Works. and a prominent manu-
facturer of the State. alleging in her com
plant breach of promise. The parties be-
long to the first society of the city, the res
idence of Judge Myers being the finest il,
the city. and the family highly cultured.
Miss Myers is beautiful blonde. 10 years
old and member of the Episcopal Church.
Rufer is a young man OF excellent busi-
ness qualities and wealthy. What makes
Ruffer's conduct the more reprehensible is
that from the time he became engaged to
Miss Myers until few days ago. he was
virtually member of the family, having a
room at his service and often taking his
meals with the family, all of whom placed
implicit confidence in his honor. 1t was
this that makes his action particularly cen
surable for bringing disgrace upon the fam
lily who trusted him.

LORD SACKVILLE'S LETTER.

THE MINISTER'S RE-

Washington, Oct 25.-Secretary Bayard, who
returned to Washington last night, made the fol-
lowing statement to-day to a representative Of the
Associated Press in regard to the letter Of Mr..
Murchison, Of California, to the British Minister
on the subject Of the pending Presidential cleo
ton, and the British Minister'S reply:
Yes have read both letters. I have not
seen the British Minister since he went to Europe
last spring, until he called me this morning at
the Department of State
Lord Sackville has no other or better means
Of knowledge Of the intentions Of the President
than any one of the $4,000, 900 of the American
people. His personal opinion is worth no more
than that of any one of them on the ground Of
knowledge, and much less on the ground of in
terest in the subject.
While there must be a consensus Of opinion as
TO the improperly Of the expression Of
individual views by any holding
the position of foreign envoy, it is
still to be hoped that we will be able to
settle the issues involved in the pending canvass
without the importation of foreign interference
or intermeddling in our domestic affairs.
The American people will be prompt to resent
and repcl as impertinent any such attempts but
they Will easily recognize the political pitfall
arranged by the California letter. with its object
plainly stamped upon its face and addressed
to the British Minister into which he has so
surprisingly tumbled.
Such petty schemes to break the fall Of
despairing politicians will be held in proper es-
timation by popular intelligence"

ENGLISH OPINIONS ON THE LETTER.

London, Oct. 25.-" The ST. Jamess Gazette' re-
ferrlng to the letter written by Lord Sackville
British Minister at Washington, to Anglo-Amer,
can resident of California, says In the present
position of American politics Lord sackvlle should
not have written such letter, under the seal
of privacy but the fact that he acted in perfect
innocence is clear. The idea which certain American
politicians appear to hold that England is ready to
help re-elect President Cleveland is thorough mis-
take. The personality of the future President Is
purely domestic question"
The Globen says that Lord Sackville fell into a
trap too readily. Happily he did not commit himself
by giving a testimonial which would be invaluable
to Republican wire-puers The trick Is too obvious
and dlscredtable to have much effect.
