Miss Caldwell's Man Servant.

SHE SAYS he SERVED NOTICE ON HER OF SUIT
FOR Els PAY BY TRICKRRY.
From the New York Tribune. To-day
James Finegan says he was employed by Miss
Mary Gwendolina Caldwell as her man servant
and that the agreement was that he should re-
main with her at S45 month and his board for
one year from June 9, 1888. On October 10 he
was discharged, and he has sued for his wages
for the rest of the year, claiming 5000. Miss
Caldwell is wealthy and lives with her maid at
the Fifth-avenue hotel. An application was
made on her behalf yesterday to Judge Enrich,
III the city court, to have the summons set aside
on the ground that it was done by fraud and
trickery. She says that her sister sailed for
Europe a few days ago. On the evening before
her sister sailed word was brought to the de-
PENDANT that man from the steamship wished
to see her. She received the supposed message
in one of the parlors of the hotel. To her sur
prise he served her with the summons. She
asserts that this was a trick to gain access to
her, and SAYS that she was not cOncealing her
self and could have been properly served at any
time without resort to a subterfuge.
An affidavit was made by Miss Caldwell's
lawyer to the effect that Finegan had previ-
ously called ON her with paper in his peck ct
He pulled it out halfway and said he had a
document that would fix" her if she did not
pay him what he demanded. He threatened
her and tried to intimidate her. and delayed
the service Of the paper SO az to have it finally
served by a trick. These statements were cor
roborated by her maid, Josephine Meller.
FinegaE denied that there was any trickery,
and said that he had made repeated futile az
tempts to induce the servants to admit him to
Miss Caldwells presence, 50 that he could serve
her with the summons. He said that her law
yer in his affidavit was lying all the way
through.
Judge Enrich denied the application, say
ing: The process server may have been a little
sharp, but he was not a trespasser. While his
method OF ehecting service may not have been
commendable, it was not illegal"

Atrocities in Zanzibar.

THE SULTAN ORDERS PRIsoNE RS TO BE PUT TO
DEATH IN FRIaHTFUL MANNER.
A dispatch from Zanzibar says that in pur-
suance of the sultan's orders four natives who
were awaiting trial for murder were hor-
ribly and cruelty executed in the streets Of
the town, their heads cut off and the bodies
left where they had fallen, exposed and un-
guarded, until the evening of the day Of execu-
ton. The sultan has also ordered that twenty
four prisoners. including one woman. who
had been sentenced for life, be put to death
in a similar manner during the next
week, few to be executed each day.
The British consul has vainly
protested against these atrocities. The sultan
has proclaimed that in the future he will be
guided by the Mohomedan laws. He has be-
slowed the power Of capital punishment on the
local governors.
SAVAGE INTER-TRIBAL WARFARE.
News has been received Of an outbreak be-
tween the Arusha and Nasal tribes. The for
mer tribe had enticed the Nasal warriors into
making a cow-lifting expedition, and during
their absence the Arusha raided the Nasal
settlement. massacred old men. women and
children. and seized many of the younger wo-
men for concubines. They also carried of
1900 head of cattle. The Nasal warriors re-
turning from the expedition, and finding their
homes devastated lamented for three days. and
then commenced war against the Arushas
which will probably last for three years and
result in the devastation of the country west
OF the Kilima-NjarO mountain.

Elk President Hayes eloquently traced the
history Of the Loyal Legion and discussed its
objects. In the course OF his speech he said:
1T ia not, and it will not be, political organ-

The Ball Split by His Skull.


Frank Landlord, Of Somerset county, died
mere last night from the effects of q pistol shot
wound IN the skin, inflicted on THANKSGIVING
Day by Capt. Isaac Parks, Of the bugeye Long
Yellow, on which vessel Landlord was a hand.
Ihe shooting took place in the Choptank river,
near oxford. A coro ner's Jury summoned to-
day returned q verdict that the shooting was
accidental, but Capt. Parks was held until the
Talbot county authorities are heard from aa
legal proceedings had been instituted by a
magistrate at Oxford. The post-mortem ex-
animation made by Drs. Steele and Goldsbor.
ough revealed rather remarkable fact. The
ball on entering Landlords skull broke into
two pieces. one of which imbe dded itself in the
cerebrum Of the brain, and the patient devel-
oped no symptoms Of brain trouble until ten
DAYS after the shooting.

New President Of the b. and O.
From the Baltimore American, to-day
Mr.. Charles Frederick Mayer, the new presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad COM
pany, is son Of Lewis Mayer, who was one of
the first men to develop the anthracite coal
regions of Pennsylvania, and was very noted
Maryland lawyer. The father Of Lewis Mayer
was Christian Mayer, one Of the leading mer-
chants Of Baltimore seventy five years ago, and
represented the kingdom of Wurtemberg here
a. consul-general. The new president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio was born in Pennsylvania,
while his father and mother we're temporarily
living in that state. When quite young man
he became q clerk in the Office of his uncle,
Frederick Koenig, who was one Of the largest
merchants Of his time in this city. He was
afterward supercargo for some years on vessels
trading to South America in his uncle's bust
ness. He returned from Valparaiso after two
years. and became the head of the firm his
uncle founded. About 1854 he, in company
with Thomas and Joseph w. Jenkins and
Sns1s organized %s hs Deprd So
W: Va, becoming vice-president and
afterward president. In March, 1877, he
was elected president Of the Consolidation
Coal company, and also Of the Cumberland
and Pennsylvania railroad company. He was
elected president Of the Susquehanna and
Tidewater canal company a few years ago.
In 1871 he established the firm of Mayer,
Carroll Co. to mine and ship coal, and SUBJ
sequently became partner OF Mr.. Henry &.
Davis, under the firm name Of Davis, Mayer
4 Co. This firm dissolved some time ago,
and the two partners are now the heads Of
competing railroad and coal companies.
Mr.. Mayer is a director in a number Of
banking, steamship and other corporations.
He married his cousin, Miss Susan Douglas
Keim, daughter Of the late Hon. George May
Keim, OF Reading, Pa, in 1866. The Console
dalton coal company, of which Mr.. Mayer has
SO long been the able and energetic president,
mines over 1000, 900 tons Of coal year. and
has capital of over $4,000 900. It has its
own iron steam GOLFERS and wharves at Locust
Point, Hoboken, and on the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal at Cumberland and Georgetown.
In personal appearance Mr.. Mayer is about s
feet II inches tall, and is spare and thin,
though Of large frame, but he is all energy
and activity in movement. Over and over
again he has gone to Washington as the repre-
sentative of the soft coal interest to advocate
a retention and fix the tariff on that mineral,
and his able arguments and thoroughly pre-
pared statistics have always had great weight
with members of Congress.
