Curious Case of Detention.

Boston correspondent of the Hartford Courant
An oddnarrative is told concerning Abraham
Jackson, who died last week. Abraham Jack
son was lawyer who came to Boston from Ply
mouth, and was very much respected and
trusted, and when he had a large amount of
trust money in his hands, converted it to his
own use, and was unable to account for it. He
was sent to the state prison, served through
sentence there. and came out actually to get
more trust property confded to him. and to
engage in managing it. 1 used to meet his
gaunt Inquire and unprepossessing face in the
city and wondered how this could be- 1t
seemed not more than ten DAYS after saw
him that he was dead. A lawyer tells me
that in his younger days he was appointed by
the court to defend a colored man for muir
der. The circumstances against him were
pretty strong and so my friend advised him
to plead guilty to manslaughter. The man
did so, but the judge finding that he had
killed man before, gave him the full SEN
tence OF twenty years in state prison. After
he had served there some time there came a
letter from him to the lawyer above referred
to, which made upon the latter powerful inn
preston. 1t was written in a style of simplicity
and sincerity that compelled conviction to the
truth OF its statements. 1t gave a sketch of
the mans life and of his unfortunate connec-
ton with the crime for which he was suffering,
related why the story could not before have
been told, and asseverated his innocence in the
strongest terms. The lawyer took the letter to
the judge who had sentenced the man.
The judge read it, and was as much over
come by its statements as was the LAWYER.
I'VE have sentenced the wrong man."
was at once his remark, .'and we must
relieve him, if possible" The next step was
to take the letter, with the judges indorse-
ment, to the governor and council It proved
that they did not need the latter. They read
this simple and effective protestation and DEM
onstratiOn of innocence, and they. too, sue
cumbed to it. The pardon was made out and
the man was liberated. The parties had been
SO sure they were doing right, all this time that
they had omitted to consult the warden of the
state prison. When it was too late that official
quietly told them that they had all been i'm
posed upon. The criminal in question was an
illIterate person who could scarcely sign his
name. This letter, which might have been a
leaf out of De Foe, was the composition of the
lawyer, Abraham Jackson, to whom referred
in the opening of this paragraph

The Soft Coal Trade.

From the New York Coal Trade Journal
The soft coal trade throughout the country
appears to have fallen upon very dull times;
there is lessened product in many districts
and it will be necessary to still further cut
down the output, for there are many of the
dealers and consumers who have enough to
last beyond the winter months. There is moth
ing positive to the price to be asked {. o. b.
at the Atlantic coast ports this season, but we
doubt II II Will rule any higher than during
last season; some of the producers of coal
reaching tide are quite Independent and
anxious for trade as ever they were. The Sea-
board steam coal association has had another
meeting; the parties interested talk as il they
would live up 70 its provisions, and claim that
II Is premature yet to express much opinion
about the workings of this pool, but they claim
that there never has been what appears
to be so strong an agreement as at the present
time. II is well said if the present pool is not
operative and does not result in higher prices.
II Is useless to attempt anything of the kind in
the future. The coal operatives and repre-
sentatives Of their employees in Indiana. Ohio IL
hnois Pennsylvania and West Virginia will meet
IN indianapolis this week in joint convention
1t will be the fourth annual. schedule of
prices for the year may be agreed upon. 1t
may be that there will some good come of this
convention. but the old fight at Columbus is
not forgotten, and we doubt if so many districts
will be represented. The knights and pro-
gressive unionists have both elected delegates
from the Pittssurg river and railroad mines
and each set of delegates claims to represent
the consensus of opinion of the district The
river operators are anxious to secure a uniform
rate with Kanawha miners, and the railroad
mine owners are solicitous for a wage reduc-
ton. The annual statement of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad shows that il is the greatest coal
carrier. During the year ended December 81,
1888, there were transported over the lines of
that company east Of Pittsburg and Erie H.
al. 4O6 tons (of 1000 pounds) of coal and coke.
an increase of 1.50O,024 tons over 1887 The
Monongahela river mines resumed operations
on Monday at the cent rates. About c. 900
men go to work, which includes the great ma
jOrity of the miners. They have been idle for
the past two months, and were successful in
keeping the rate Of wages, while the operators
have been successful in keeping a certain
amount of coal out Of already well supplied
markets

New Jersey Names.

From the Elizabeth Journal
New Jersey is rich in names that are not
found in any other state. and when an attempt
is made to change them they will be heard
from. For instance we have Hacklebarney,
Barley Sheaf, Bargaintown, Blue Anchor, Boxi-
ticius, Breakfast Point, Buckshutem, ALA
muchy and Cheesequake, made famous by that
famous statesman and navigator Hon. Miles
Ross. Then we have Chewville and Cutaloosa,
Doubletrouble and Feebletown; Goosetown
down in Railway, Good Luck and Governors
Hole-which has nothing to do with the pres
ent local option law. Then there's Hell's
Kitchen. which isn't in Trenton state-house at
all, but away down in Ocean county, and Jaho-
keyville, Manunka Chunk, Opanghanaugh, Para
disc. two or three of them. all in northern New
Jersey. Then there are Peapack, Polify. Skunk
town, Shutdown, Squankum. Suckesunny, Tat
tletown, where all the old maids go, and Tran
guilty, where they don't go, Trap Tavern,
Tumble, Turkey Hill, Uncle Toms, Wakake,
Waugharon, Weehawken. Yankeetown and
Youpoh. These are just few of the names
actually attached to some New Jersey places.
and they show with what eclectic Judgment and
historic precision these names have been &C.
lected. A careful examination of some COM
plete geography would doubtless show scores
more that are unlike anything else in the world,
and indeed that are likely to retain their sim
gularity till the end of time. All this only goes
to show that when once a matter of names
comes up, New Jersey isn't going to be left
She has as many and as peculiar as any state of
her size in the United States.

Out of a Long Trance.
MRS. EMMA ALTHoUsE AwAKEs AFTER sLEEPrN
THIRTY-FINE DAYS.

MRS. EMMA ALTHoCsE AwAKES AFTER SLEEPING
TWENTY-FIVE DAYS.
A New York special to the Baltimore Aneri-
can says: Mrs. Emma Althouse, the champion
sleeper, whose case has lately attracted much
attention, has just awakened from her long
trance, which lasted few hours over thirty
five days at her home in Attica, New York. For
several hours there were indications that some
thing unusual would happen. Finally she
opened her eyes. Her nose bled rather freely
and her breathing increased so as to almost
keep time with her pulsations. Her lungs APP
parently determined to make up for their long
comparative rest. Mrs. Althouse was able to
move her lips and nod, but could not talk, and
could only communicate with her happy sisters
by answering their questions with shakes of
the head. Several fainting fits followed, and
more difficulty was experienced in breathing.
The resplrations were quick and hard to the
number of ffty-three minute. Her pulse was
over eighty, and her temperature 9S-about
normal. A little warm milk and weak coffee
have been fed to the patient since she awak-
ened, and at last reports she seemed stronger,
but was still to weak too converse to any extent
with her relatives, who refused to allow visit
ors to enter the house. The awakening was a
surprise to the family, who expected that the
girl would never arouse from her trance. 1t is
curious that this sleep lasted only few hours
longer than her long trance of a year ago.

ANNOYING MRS. HARRISON.
Persistent Letter-Writer Who De-
manded Advances of Money.

A New York special to the Philadelphia Press
says: The family of President-elect Harrison
have been undergoing for the last six weeks a
vast amount Of bullying from an INSCRIPTIONS
letter-writer. The letters were all mailed in
this city and have followed the various men,
bers Of General Harrisons family in all their
recent journeys. The first letter was addressed
to the President-e,ect, and was terse business
note. in which the writer briefly stated that he
was an English subject. stranded in this city,
without money or friends. He wanted money
enough to carry him home. He wanted this
money in the worst way, and he said so right
out in plain English.
ter another was aimed at Mr.. Harrison's home.
IL was from the same writer, and was addressed
70 Mrs. Harrison. IL was couched in the same
terms and contained the same request for
money. A few days later Mr.. Russell Harrison
received letter from the same writer and
during the following week similar letters were
received BY MIR. and Mrs. J. r. Mckee. the
daughter and son-in-law of the President-elect.
All Of these letters were nothing more than
begging letters except that there was more the
air of a demand about them than such letters
usually have.
Having gone around the family circle in this
mild way, the writer began at the beginning
again and went clear around with another Sc
RES OF letters. The third series of letters be-
gan in short order and were more peremptory
in their character than the others They in
sisted that the Joan" asked for should be re-
mitted instantly, and. although no threats were
made, there was a clear intimation that the
money had better be sent along mighty quick
in the mail received by Mrs. Harrison and Mr..
and Mrs. J. Il. Mckee the morning after their
arrival in this city about two weeks ago. was a
letter from this same fellow. This letter came
nearer to a fiat demand for money than any
that had yet been received, and Mrs. Harrison
was greatly annoyed
Last Monday morning Mr.. Russell Harrison
sent brief account of his troubles to Inspector
Byrnes. and asked that a detective be sent to
see him. Detective Sergeant Heidelberg was
detailed to the work. The address which the
writer of the letter gave was in a rather good
part of the city, and the detective went TO il at
once. Sure enough, the author of the letters
was found in the house. The detective had
been ordered not to arrest the fellow if he be-
came satisfied that he could stop the nuisance
without taking this extreme step. The man
was very much frightened. He said that he
was really an Englishman, without a friend in
this country, and that he did want the money
to pay mis- passage home. He promised to
write no more letters, and he was not taken
into CUSTODY

MIR. Blaine's Memory.

From the New York Graphic.
Mr.. Blaine's's selection for Secretary of State
has been followed by new crop of stories
about him. Here is one that is told by Colonel
Calvin Sayre, of Montgomery, Ala. "Before
the war;" says Col. Sayre, II was at school at
Williamsburg, KY, where Mr.. Blaine was
teacher. Many years afterward, while he was
in Congress, was in Washington. l was think
ing one day of making myself known to him.
but had about abandoned the idea--we had
met SO long before that did not think he
could be made to remember me-when we hap
pened to meet in the rotunda of the capitol.
He knew me at a glance, and, grasping my
right hand in his he laid his left tenderly on
my shoulder, saying, why, Sayre, old boy,
how are your I'm glad to see you. 1 guess you
were rebel and are democrat, but that don't
make bit of difference. You are my friend.
and if there's anything in the world can do
for you, let me know, and I'll do it" His
memory was as great as his words were sincere
wanted nothing for myself, but 1 spoke to
him in behalf of friends on several occasions
and he cheerfully granted every favor which
was asked"

The Death of Prince Rudolph.

THE LATEST STORY REGARDING THE EVENTS IMME-
DIATELY PRECEDING THE TRAGEDY.
In receiving the two houses of the reichsrath
at Vienna yesterday, Emperor Francis Joseph
thanked the members for their condolences on
the death of the crown prince. The emperor.
with sobs in his voice, said: 'All the people of
Austria have displayed toward me such love
and loyalty and such patriotism and attach
ment to the dynasty as, next to my trust in the
Almighty will prove the greatest solace in my
affection"
The chamber at Meyerling in which the
prince died will, at the emperor's request, be
turned into a chapel in which the priests of
the convent of Heiligen Kreuz will holdrequiem
services yearly on the anniversaries of the
birth and death of Rudolph.
Scandal is still bnsy circulating stories about
the causes of the princes death. The latest is
that Rudolph had courted Baroness Marie Vet
sera for four months. The iidison it is stated,
was encouraged by Countess Wallersee-Larisch
a niece OF the Empress Marie, who was of
romantic disposition and nervous tempera-
ment and was devoted to Rudolph. On January
q the pair started in a two-horse closed car
rage for Meyerling, where they passed the
next day together. On the morning of January
80 the two were found dead in bed. Marie had
been shot through the forehead Rudolph had
also been shot, as already described 1t was
evident that the two had resolved to die to-
gether. The coverlet was strewn with flowers,
The body of Marie was secretly taken to a cot.
tage and thence removed for interment. The
Netsera family left Vienna on Saturday for
Venice
A Rome dispatch says the pope heard the
crown prince had died in an American duel
HIS holiness Immediately summoned conclave
OF cardinals. After long discussion it was de-
cided that only one deranged could have en-
tered into such duel. This decision having
been arrived at, permission to bury the dead
prince with religious rites was granted EN-
perof Francis Joseph received the news with
the deepest gratitude, and sent dispatch in
reply saying that his holiness had spared him
the greatest grief.
The official statement is made in Vienna that

ages related to the highest Austrian families
such as the houses Of Auersperg and Schwar-
zenberg, with the death Of the late Crown
Prince Rudolph, are pure inventions.

Mary, Queen of Scots.


. That Mary wore false hair, and of many diff
ferent colors, there is every reason to believe.
Elizabeth is known to have had a collection of
eighty wigs, and her dear cousin, with the I'M
usual advantage of so many seasons in Paris

Among the statements of the accounts of her
personal expenditure are numerous items of

her. Historians say that her mother was tall
and beautiful, that her father was dignifed,
having fair complexion and light hair; and
other and eontemporaneous historians say that
she inherited most Of the characteristics of
her parents, ''being about the ordinary size
with fair complexion and Grecian features,
and a nose somewhat longer than a painter
