FROM A PEDDLER TO A PEER.
An Ex-Hotel Waiter Heir Apparent to
an English Lord.

Portland. Me-. Special to the Phila Times
yeritable case Of -Lord Fauutieroy" has
| occurred here, only the hero has arrived at
mans. estate. Some eight years agoEls Young
man. about eighteen, came to Portland from
the provinces TO seek employment He was a
bright, intelligent fellow and mades friends
quickly He had hard work getting employ
ment. being at frsta waiter in hotel and then
a cook upon fishing schooner. In these en-
Payments he saved little money and started
out finally as peddler throughout the country
OF tin and woodenware, He gave his name as
Joseph Wilson. As peddler he did quite a
business, and while making purchases at q
Wholesale store here about two years ago he
was waited on by Jessie Seymour a very bright
and pretty young country girl.
Wilson fell in love with her, declared his
passion, proposed and was accepted. The
couple have resided here very happily ever
since. A year ago a son was born which, by
request OF the father. was given the rather
English Christian name of Albert Edward
wilson occasionally received letters from Eng
land. and one day came home very much ex-
cited with copy of the Illustrated London Ne,rs
in his hand. He showed his wife a picture in
1t OF a dead nobleman and said he knew him,
and that 1t was distant relative. His wife
plagued him for claiming to be of noble blood,
but he took it in good heart and at once wrote
long letter to a firm of attorneys in London.
A reply few weeks later took him abroad,
where he remained several months. Returning
suddenly few weeks since he took hasty
good bye OF his acquaintances and took his
wife and baby back to England.
The EUe'aing Express states this afternoon
that Wilson was of good family, his father
being the younger son of peer. The picture
In the paper was that of Wilson's uncle, the
heir of his grandfather, whose death makes
Wilson's father lord, and Wilson. as only son.
an heir apparent. The Express gets its facts
from the attorney employed in settling up
Wilson's affairs here, but keeps the name of
the family secret because the latter don't want
1t known that their future head had been living
such lowly life.

BLOODSHED IN KANSAS.
Serious Results of a County Seat War
Two Men Killed, a Number Wounded

A special from Wichita, Kan, January IL,
says: There has for year been a conflict be-
tween the towns Of Cimarron and Ingalls, The
county officers, excepting clerk and surveyor,
have been at ingalls, for nearly year. At a
recent election Mr.. Watson, an Ingalls, man,
was elected clerk, but the commissioners re-
fused to canvass the vote until the supreme
court issued an order for them to do so last Mon
day. Thismorning several deputy sherifs went
to Cimarron to place Watson, the clerk-elect,
in the Office. and to remove the county records
to Ingalls,, when they we're fired on by mob.
The shots were returned, and when the firing
ceased il was found that J. N English and J.
Bliss, of Cimarron, were killed, and a number
wounded G.. W. Bolds. L. Breeks, and c. Roth
felter, deputies, received wounds. The Cimar-
ron people Infatuated by the killing of their
citizens. charged upon a. brick building in
which Watson and the wounded deputies had
taken refuge, and firing was continued at in
ter<als between besieged and besiegers-
THE STATE MILITIA RESTORE PEACE.
Gen. Martin telegraphed to Gen. NJ Myers,
Of this city, directing him to send a company
of militia to Cimarron at once to preserve the
peace. and to go himself, and if he finds one
company insufficient to order out another
Gen Myers reached Cimarron with the second
regiment Sunday morning. He found the town
Ingalls, people. No services were held in the
church, but instead the church was converted
into an arsenal. where the weapons of war
were deposited. and Gen. Myers ordered the
people to disarm at once and told them that
unless they did so their weapons would be
taken from them by force. The order was
complied with. The imprisoned deputies and
clerks were released by the sheriff before the
militia arrived.
CHAIRMAN sHOUP's THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Chairman Shoup, of the board of commits
sioners Of Gray county, in which the rival
towns are situated. reached Topeka yesterday
and had consultation with Governor Martin
ShOup gave thrilling account of his expe-
Tlence with the attacking party. He was in his
office in the courthouse when the leader of
the mob from Ingalls, opened the door, covered
him with Winchester. and commanded him
not to move. All the county officers were ''held
up in the same way, while the remainder of
the mob took possession of the county records
and fed with them. The Cimarron people
pursued. English and Bliss, who were killed,
were not participating in the fight, and Shoup
claims that their murder was IN cold blood.
He demands of the governor that the murder
ers be brought to speedy justice. He says the
attacking party was headed by Watson. the
newly elected county clerk. and was made up
of notorious rOughs and COW boys. One of the
leaders of the party the notorious killer"
Jim Johnston. who, il Is said. has openly
boosted that he has taken the lives of twelve
men. and that no one dared to touch him.
Governor Martin declares the whole power
of the state will be used to bring the guilty
parties to Justice.

GOff's Latest Victory.

DECISION IN FAVOR OF THE WEST VIRGINIA RE-
PUBLICANS.
The West Virginia supreme court Saturday
quashed the motion for writ of prohibition to
restrain Judge Guthrie from going ON with his
mandamus proceedings against the secretary of
state, and also decided that Judge Campbell
had no right to interfere with the secretary of
state in the discharge of his duties. Unless
some heretofore unthought of action is taken
before the courts the full returns will be laid
before the legislature in joint session and it is
presumable that the republicans will promptly
organize the senate this afternoon. This be-
ing. the case, Golf will have the majority on the
face of the returns and Judge Fleming's only
hope will be in a contest before the legislature
ON the ground of illegal votes being cast

mist and the clouds were lowering. but there
was no rain and no immediate threatening of
any. Suddenly the city was shaken by the ex-

Oranges are now being moved from Florida

Paper is run around the sides of the car, and

These carloads of loose oranges now come
regularly to Baltimore from Orlando station.
on the South Florida railroad. They have at
tracted much attention at Calvert station,
where they are unloaded. This new method of
moving them does away with the old idea of
wrapping in paper and excluding the air as
much as possible. Several varieties come in a
car, partitions of thin board being put up. The
last car to Baltimore contained AZ, 900 oranges.
and had been six days making the trip. The
freight ON the car was $685.
