Mrs. E. T. G. Young entertained the
Russian Princess, Marthe Engalitscheff,
at her beautiful residence on GIenwood
avenue, last evening. The Princess is a
brunette of ravishing beauty, and the an
ticipation of her coming has aroused in
terest in social circles for many days past.
The parlors and reception rooms of the
house were decorated in lavish profusfon
with the rarest products of the gardens Of
the world. The mantels were almost hid
den beneath wealth of aspargee sn1ilax
was twined with exquisite taste around
the chandeliers, and potted exotics made
the rooms as fragrant as they were beau
tiful
During the evening the Princess as
cended dais, spread with Russian robes
of all descriptions, and with q native
accent that lent to the charm of her
enunciation read an interesting essay on
the home and social life of the Russians.
She was assisted in the improvised enter
tainnent by three voices in song and an
orchestra.
Miss Orstrum sang soprano, Mrs. Theo-
dore f. Baldwin: contralto, Mr.. Francis

of viands and dainties.
Then the floors were cleared, and q

of recent entertainments in this city to

BRUTAL MASKED BURGLARS.
A Missouri Farmer and His Wife Sub
jected to Shocking III Usage.

A Missouri Farmer and His Wife Sub
jected to Shocking III Usage.
ST.. LOUIS, March 20, 1SS9 Early yes
terday morning Mr.. and Mrs John Put
nam, who reside near Trenton, on the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, were awak-
ened by noises in their bedroom made by
two masked men, who were standing near
the foot of their bed with cooked revolv-
ers in their hands and carrying dark Ian
terms They bade the farmer and his wife
to neither move nor speak.
One then stationed himself as sentinel
at the bedside and kept close watch, while
the other proceeded to ransack the house.
Finding nothing of much value, Mr.. and
Mrs Putnam were compelled to get out of
bed and disclose the hiding place of their
money.
Putnam was taken into an adjoining
room and an effort was made to have him
disclose the hiding place of his money by
subjecting him to cruel treatment. He
protested that he had already turned
over every cent that he had in the
house. This did not satisfy them,
however, and in his presence they
kicked and otherwise maltreated his wife.
His night clothes were torn from his body,
and he was compelled to lie ON the floor
while the brutes rolled him over and over
with their heavy mud covered boots.
Their efforts to make Mrs. Putnam con-
fess where the money was slowed away
were also fruitless. They then marched
the husband and wife about the house
separately, all the time holding cooked
revolyers at their heads.
The Putnam s have no children, but two
servants, who were sleeping upstairs were
awakened by the noises and
came down The burglars turned their
attention to the girls and subjected them
to inhuman treatment The girls were
taken into an adjoining room and the
muzzles of revolvers were pressed against
their heads in an endeavor to make them
reveal the hiding place of the money.
Gaining nothing, they took the girls back
into the bedroom almost dead from fright,
subjected them to outrageous treatment,
and then declared they would gibbet the
whole family
AS it seemed the threats might be car
ried into execution, the wife and girls got
down on their knees and begged for
mercy. Convinced that nothing was con-
cealed from them the thieves proceeded to
gag their victims and pinion their arms.
Fhe burglars, finding that nothing more
could be accomplished, left, closing and
fastening the doors after them. They also
set fire to the house, but the fire soon died
out

Mrs. Coney's Counsel Says
the Husband Has For
gotten That Alimony.
A CROWDED COURT ROOM.
Mr.. Harney and Mrs. Coney Strolled
in Together and Spent the Time
Pleasantly.

Owing to the absence of Counsellor John
Linn in Trenton this morning, the case Of
Warren NJ. Coney, who is seeking
divorce from his pretty wife, Minora
Coney, was adjourned to Wednesday
morning. Mr.. William A. Harney, the
Grove street real estate agent, who is
deeply interested in this case, recently sent
a communication to the papers requesting
the public to attentively watch the pro-
ceedings to the end
The public lost no time this morning in
endeavoring to crafty Mr.. Harney's de-
sire, and when Advisory Master Randolph
called the case in the Court of Chaucery
there was goodly number of citizens
present.
Mrs. Coney and Mr.. Harney came into
court together, and chatted and laughed
with each other in an exceedingly chummy
manner. Mrs. Coney wore the same be-
witching costume she had on at the pre-
vious hearing, and appeared in much bet
ter health and spirits.
HER FUNDS ARE RUNNING LOW.
A representative of Mr. Linn's Office
asked for an adjournment. and Mr.. New
bold in replying stated that he desired to
have the case disposed of as quickly as
possible. He said that it was great
hardship for Mrs. Coney to remain in the
city. She had just established herself in
business, which is suffering from neglect
during her absence
She has also been here longer than she
expected, and has almost exhausted the
supply of money which she brought with
her. If she remains here much longer,
couHsel continued, she will soon be pen
1kless. Mr. Newbold then drew atten-
tdon to an order made by the Court at an
early stage of the case, requiring Mr..
Coney to pay Mrs. Coney $50 counsel fees,
and $12 per week alimOny.
MR.. CoNEY MUST PAY.
He said that Mr. Coney had paid no
attention to the order and he wished the
Court would take some steps to enforce
its observance.
While this was going on Mr. Coney APP
peared upon the scene. Mr.. Randolph
directed him to pay Mrs. Coney One
weeks alimony before the next hearing OF
the case.
| learned afterward that Mrs. Coney,a
business, which is suffering so much by
her presence in this city, is an extensive
dressmaking establishment in Dallas,
Texas, where her parents live.
