again. He states that he is willing to row the
winner of the Teemer-G -Gaudaur race for a sub

Trouble in the Salvation Army
camp.

NtF~~*kfs
Every citizen of Mineral Point
was awakened to an interest Of in
tensity last Friday by the rumored
trouble in the ranks of the Salvation
Army of this city. Saturday morn
ing tie affair was brought to a focus
by the arrest of Captain Noodle and
Lieutenant Johnson upon the com
plant of assault, made by Mrs.
Harry Harris, a member of the
army. The defendants were ar
raigne7 before his honor, the Mayor,
and placed under bonds to appear in
the afternoon. Major Whatmore, Of
the Army, arrived from Chicago on
the noon train, and by means of his
efforts the case was smotherod, aud
by consent of the prosecution was
dismissed by the Mayor.
Up to late Sunday evening it
was generally understood that the
difficulty was settled But not SO.
That night about 10 clock a war
rant wss issued by j. w. Horn,
justice Of the peace, for the re-arrest
Of said Captain and Lieutenant, on
the complaint Of George Harris, on
behalf of Mrs. II. Harris, charging
them with attempted rape The
papers were served Immediately by
deputy sheriff Hartert, and by
eleven o'clock the same evening
Noodle and johnson were arraigned
before Justice Horn to answer to
the charge, and upon their pleading
not guilty they were bound over to
appear the next morning, when the
district attorney could be on hand.
Hon. j. M Smith was retained as
attorney for defendants. Monday
morning district attorney Carter ar
rived from Dodgeyille aud proceed
cd with the case. 1t was confined
wholly to the taking Of testimony,
which was done with closed doors.
Eight persons were put upon the
stand, and when they had all been
through the questioning mill it was
Tuesday night, when adjournment
was had ull the following morning
to await the verdict Of the court.
The verdict was brief, as follows
"After hearing the evidence and
the able arguments Of the lawyers
for and against the accused, the
court is satisfied that a crime has
been committed, but that tue evil
dence is not strong enough TO bind
the accused over to the next term Of
court for the charge made in the
complaint; therefore, the said de-
PENDANTS, John 5. Johnson and VIM.
Noodle are hereby discharged by
the court on the charge Of attempt
Of rape
The affair reflects unfayorably
upon the community, debases Chris
tianity and disgraces the Salvation
Army.

moved, apd in their departure 1t is

Mrs. Snuthworth,s Start.

Mrs. e. D. E. N. Southworth, who
has probably written more books than
any other American author, living or
dead, found her first publisher under
singular circumstances Some forty
years ago Mrs. Southworth, then a
young woman, was almost a daily Wis
itor at the store of Joe Shillington,
who for nearly half a century has been
bookseller in Washington. She never
spoke to any one, and Shilhngton and
his clerks came in time to regard her
as little queer. One day she timidly
approached him and handing him a
large bundle, told him that it was the
manuscript of a story she had written
and which she wished he would send
to some of the papers of which he was
the agent. The bookseller complied
with her request and sent it to Bal
tmore literary weekly, whose editor
was SO favorably impressed with the
story that he brought it to the atten-
ton of DIR. Bailey of The National Era.
DIR. Bailey requested Shillington to
arrange an interview with the young
author, but the latter did not know
her name, and it was only after long
search that it was found that it was
Southworth, and that she was teacher
of a small private school in George
town. The story was finally printed
as a serial by DR.. Bailey, and later re-
published by Peterson in book form,
having an immense sale. Later Rob
ert Bonner secured Mrs. Southworth's
services for The Ledger, to which she
has ever since remained contributor.

If the story related by Partisan
contemporary be true there is mer-
chant in the French capital who has
been singularly favored by capricious
Dame Fortune under rather curious
circumstances. The paper we refer TO
relates that recently wealthy Paris
ties, purchased of the said merchant
suit of armor for the large sum of 300,-
coo francs, or f12, 900. Before it came
into the possession of its present owner
the suit of armor had had remark
able career. 1t belonged originally,
it is stated, to Francois /, and fell
one day into the hands of M. de
Rothschild, who bought it for $500
francs, disposing Of it later on to
Lord Ashburnham for 25, 600 francs.
Years afterward the latter, in turn,
sold it to q London dealer in curiosi-
ties for 800, 900 francs, he again pass
ing it on to an English millionaire for
425, 900 francs. When the millionaire
died it was left unnoticed in the corner
of lumber room, and the house, be-
ing afterward destroyed by fire, the Gel
ebrated suit of armor was found among
the ruins and passed into the hands Of
q dealer in old iron 1t was unearthed
in his shop not long ago by the Paris
merchant, who bought it at merely
nominal price and cleaned and restored
it, after which he was lucky enough
to find purchaser willing to take it
off his hands, as has been said, for the
sum of f12, 900. So he did remark
ably good stroke of business when he
bought it of the dealer in old iron for
a mere song.-London Times.
