A Girl Who Got the Best Of a
Travelev.
from the New York sAn.s

There were three or four unoccU-
pied seats in the car, but he stood for
a moment, grip in hand, near the
door, and then walked to seat in
which young lady sat alone, and sat
down beside her with an impudeRce
that astouRded all other passengers.
The girl looked up at him and around
the car, aud evidently realized the
situation, for she took pencif aad
tablet from her Eeticule and made
ready for him. After about Ave
minutes the man tarned to her and
observed:
" Beg pardon if 1 am mistaken, but
don't you live at Utica?"
She looked up in furtiye way, and
then wrote on the tablet and handed
him:
II am deaf and dumb"
"Ah! By Georgel" he sighed as
ne read it; that's too, too bad
Deuced pretty girl to have such
misfortune. Well, I'm left, after all
my smartness. Saw her at the win
dow before got on, and carried out
the plan to dot. Deaf and dumb,
Ell? First one 1 ever strack!'
He nodded his head to her to sig
nifty that he understood, and he would
have been glad to change seats II he
could have done so without loss of
dignity. AS the train Numbered on
he perused the contents of couple
of newspapers, yawned awhile, and
then bought and finished novel
and finally, after a ride of four NOR
tai hours, the whistle blew, and he
reached for his grip with the remark:
'Pll be hanged if amt glad this
stupid ride has come to an end at
last"
tDitto!" quietly replied the girl,
as she turned on him.
"You-you-he gasped, as he
stood there looking down upon her
with twelve kinds of emotion gallop-
ing over his counteuance.
"Good-bY," she said, and he back
ed out and dropped to the platform,
like man retreating from mules
hind legs.

ITALIAN MINERS RIOTINC.
Serious Trouble Feared at Braid
wood, Ills,
FILLING A SHAFT WITH DEBRIS.
Five Hundred Strikers Filling tho
Mouth OF Mine With Cars,
Etc Troops Are Ordered to
the Scene.
Gravy With Drink.

CHICAGO, May GA special from Joliet.
ILL.,, says; Company b, of this city, belong
ing to the Fourth regiment, Illinois National
uard, has been ordered to Braidwood to
isperse the striking miners. A report
states that 400 strikers from Clark
City, and nearly q thousand from
Valley Creek are now marching toward the
Braidwood mines armed with clubs, revolv-
ers, army muskets and shot guns, and that
many of the Italian strikers are crazy with
liquor and determined to stop the men who
went to work in the mines this forenoon.
Serious trouble Is anticipated when Colonel
Bennett, commanding the Fourth regiment,
meets with the angry strikers.
A special dispatch from Braidwood, ILL., :,
the scene of the trouble with the striking
coal miners, says In response to an appeal
by the sheriff of viii county for armed rein
forcements, Governor Fifer has authorized
the Illinois National guard to protect prop
erty and persons endangered by the rioters
at Braidwood. Adjutant- General Vance has
ordered regiment of men to the sheriff's
aid. About five hundred strikers from the
adjoining mining villages, armed with guns
and revolvers, marched in body
on the shaft in this city at o'clock this
afternoon. About fifteen employees who were
present were marched at the end of the
strikers guns to safe distance north Of the
shaft, and the turbulent mob then proceeded
to fill the shaft up with pit cars and debris,
and to wreck things generally. After half
an hour of this work they left, saying they
would be back shortly and burn the shaft.

HARwIcH, May 27.-[New York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE. The Royal
Harwch Yacht club regatta was held to-day,
the principal match being for yachts exceed
ing rating of 40 tors for prizes of ESQ and
e20. The Yarana, cutter, owned by Mr.. p.
A. Ralli; the Valkyrie, cutter, owned by
Earl Dunraven; and the Irex, cutter, be-
longing to j. Jameson, took part in the race.
The match was started at 10 a. M, and
much interest was eviuced, both on sea and
land, the harbor being filled with yachts and
the shore thickly lined with spectators. The
Irex took the lead, followed by the Valkyrie
and the Yarana. The Valkyrie and Yarana
kept over to the Felixstoure shore. whilst
the Trek took straight course. Rounding
the bell buoy in leaving the harDor, the Val
kyrie was leading by two lengths, the Irex
being second.
The course was round the northeast Bawd-
sey buoy and sank lightshlp, ard back into
the harbor A reach was made down to the
ark lightship, the Valkyrie leading by two
minutes and fast walking away. Here the
vessels were becalmed for about ten min
utes, but the wind shifting from the north.
east to the north enabled the vessels to lay
down well to the Bawdsey buoy. The Val
kyrie stood in for the land, leaving her oppos
nents far behind. In returning to the harbor
the wind dropped a dead calm but sprang up
again.
The Valkyrie passed the bell buoy ten
minutes before her opponents. The yachts
passed the committee boat in the following
order: Valkyrie, hours, 10 minutes, sec
onds; Irex, 4 4:22:55; Yarana, 4;29:29.

Mrs. Lomasney's Opinion.


DETROIT, May 27.-In reference to DR.. Gro
MINIS report TO the Clan. ma Gael m 1883, on
the misappropriation Of funds intended for
the family Of William Mackay Lomasney,
Mrs. Lomasney says:
ut is great surprise to me, and am
sorry that either myself or my unfortunate
family should be mixed up in the death Of
DIR. Cronin. 1t would seem from the reports
that he was killed because he knew too
much, and that the murder was committed
by his friends. 1 don't believe word of it,
No Irishman lifted his hand against him, and
the murder was paid for with British gold"
When asked IL he knew any of the men
who were charged with appropriating the
money raised by the society for the benefit
of herself and children, she said:
II know Sullivan is in Chicago. He
seemed very nice man. but l don't know
much about him. The other two mentioned
are perfect strangers to me and 1 never
heard their names before. If any money has
been raised for me by any society, never
received cent of it, but l do not believe
there was. l have received aid but it has
always been from individuals, and not from
organizations"
Mrs. Lomasney reiterated her belief that
her husband is not dead, but imprisoned in
some English dungeon, with no chance 10
communicate with her.

THE RIGHT OF DOVER.
An Important Decision By Wyoming &

judge.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 27.I-Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. IA very interesting de-
cision has just been rendered by Judge Corn,
of the third judicial district of Wyoming. 1t
bears on the right of dover. Th is right pre-
vailed in Wyoming up to 1876, when it was
abolished by an act Of the legislature. The
Edmunds act was passed year ago. 1t is
very comprehensive in its terms, and in sew!
eral of its sections alludes specifically to
Utah. Immediately upon its becoming q
law, deeds and other legal Instruments re-
quiring such change, were made to conform
with the supposed ruling of the Edmunds
law.
The question of whether section 1S,
of the law referred to Wyoming,
has never been considered in any
of the territories until it was brought before
Judge Corn by the suit of Amanda France.
widow of the late Rawins banker. The Sec
ton alluded to reads as follows:
"a widow shall be endowed of a third part
of all lands whereof her husband was seized
of an estate of Inheritance at any time during
the marriage unless she shall have lawfully
released her rights thereto"
Judge Corn holds that this section OF the
law applies only to Utah, ard not the other
territories. The question will be taken to
the supreme court Its Importance may be
discovered when it is stated that it affects
every transfer of real estate made by mar
ried men in every territory except Utah, tha
concurrence of the wife in the deed and re-
llnquishment of her dover not being neces-
sary under this decision
