Fraudulent Applications for Relief-Six
Thousand Lives Lost.

A number of orders for money have been
stopped by the board of inquiry at Johnstown,
Pa, because Of systematic swindling on the
part Of some applicants for relief. Some OF the
schemes resorted to are decidedly ingenious,
among them the following: A father will reg
lister himself and family and be placed in GER
tain class by the local committees, when no is
followed by some other member Of his house.
hold, the result being Q double allowance to
the family. In this way some families have re-
ceived as much as S24O, while it was the pur-
pose of the committe to allow but $50 The
distribution of the S5O0.OO0 has cost a great
deal of time and the end is not yet in sight, as
many who we're sufferers to a great extent have
not yet even been registered. 1t is q difficult
matter to place all the blame where it properly
belongs, as all local employees are working like
beavers to finish the task. The amount paid out
on orders yesterday was S15, IA.
According to the latest statistics, carefully
compiled by the board of inquiry, the number
of lives lost in the devastated district was about
5000. These figures may be changed some
little in the near future, as it is possible that
a few who are reported missing may have been
absent on visit when the compilation was
made.
Mr. George W. Childs of Philadelphia has re-
ceived from Col. Fred d. Grant, United States
minister to Austria, communication inclosing
a contribution of S142 subscribed by the people
of Carlsbad for the sufferers at Johnstown,
subscription of $40 from Col. Grant, and also
one Of like amount from his mother, Mrs. q. s.
Grant In his letter he says: 1--WE sincerely
trust that our little Offering may, in some de-
gree, bring comfort to those poor people Of
Pennsylvania who have gone through the food
and find themselves left in want aud desola-
tlon."

THOSE ROYAL GRANTS.
Mr.. Gladstone Will Support the Gov
ernment.

Since Mr.. Labouchere laid on the table
in the house of commons his motion to
substitute for the report of the royal
grants committee an address to the queen,
stating that the sums given the royal
family are already amply sufficient, and
that if further supplies are needed they
ought to be provided through retrenchment
in the expenses of the royal household and not
by fresh demands upon the taxpayers, there
has been a rupture among the liberals, and Mr..
Gladstone, Sir VIM Vernon Harcourt, and Mr..
Parnell have decided to support the govern
ment.
Mr.. John Morley will move an amendment
against increasing the allowances of the royal
princes unless when the next request is made
it is accompanied by pledge that it will be
the final ole.
Mr.. Gladstone's pressure upon Mr.. Labou-
chere to withdraw his motion has been futile.
Mr.. Labouchere will listen to no compromise.
The Parnellite members of the house of COM
mons are whipping for the government greatly
to the disgust of the radicals.
The opposition being thus at skies and sevens
large government majority on the report OF
the royal grants committee is assured.

DUNLO'S FOLLY.
Viscountess Dunlo, Nee Belle Billion,
Not ga Proper Sort of Girl"

A London special cable to the New York
Herald says: viscount Dunlo, by his mar
riage to Belle Billion, of music hall fame, has
given photographers rich field for innuendo.
1t seems that Lady Dunlo before marriage had
several admirers, her husband being at the
heel of the hunt. He lacked the experience Of
his predecessors. He wrote letters. There
was talk of breach of promise suit which was
stopped by the marriage
1t is now alleged that the earl of Clancarty
will invoke the law to annul the marriage on
the ground that his son is under age. A
prominent queens counsel told the Herald cor
respondent to-day that the marriage between
woman Of fourteen and man of sixteen was
legal. The minister or registrar who performed
the ceremony could be prosecuted under an
old act of parliament, but that would not affect
the marriage, it must stand Viscount Dunlo
sailed few days ago on long trip. His wife
remains behind.

AvENGING A SISTERS WRONGS.
The Reason Why Edward Brown Shot
Col. Page In North Carolina.

The shooting of Col Roger 7. Page, editor Of
the Marion, n. G. Tunes-Register, at Marion
Tuesday, as published in yesterdays STAR,
proves to have been the work of young man
named Edward Brown, son of q wealthy farmer
of Mcdowell county, who killed Page because
of his improper attentions to young widow,
Mrs. DIR. Butt, sister of Brown. Page recently
moved to Marion from Virginia. He was
closely related to Gov. Lee. He was separated
from his wife but had no divorce. For some
time, it is alleged, he has been paying i'm
proper attentions to the young widow, and
notes had passed between him and Brown in
regard to the matter. Brown lives in the
country and came to Marion to commit the
crime. Page had been to Ashville, and as the
train rolled up to the depot at Marion he left it
and started for his home few hundred yards
away. He had only gone few steps when
close at the back of his head pistol was fired.
This was followed by four other shots fred in
rapid succession. the pistol being poked almost
in Col. Pages face. He fell to the ground and
without a groan or sigh was dead. The bullet
holes were is1his head and neck, his neck being
broken

The Maid With "a Milking Pail.

From the New York Sun
A story comes to the clubs from a summer
resort about a wealthy but not oyer-beautiful
girl who has been receiving marked attentions
from very handsome young Englishman of
excellent family 20 such degree that her
friends have taken it for granted that the two
were soon to start together down the lane of
roses and thorns with elapsed hands and trust
ing hearts. One day these lovers rode to-
gether out to the estate of a gentleman farmer
who was a friend of the young woman's family
As they were galloping along the road toward
the house they saw girl coming across the
meadow.
''Oh, there's Maggie with a milk pail, and
I'm so thirsty I'm going to wait for her to come
up. and then ask her for drink"
This was said by the young lady, and as she
spoke she drew up her horse. her companion

her brown hair struggling down over her young
shoulders. her large blue eyes, delicate brown
face and neck, and tall. slim figure, she pre-
sented picture Of striking beauty as she stood
there assuring the young lady on the horse
that she was quite welcome to all the milk she
could drink. And turning her eyes upon the
handsome young Englishman, she said:
And you, sir, too, can also"
But she became confused at that point and
blushed furiously under the gaze of the capti-
waited gentleman ON the horse The lovers
rode away. leaving Maggie looking after them

ment OF the young Englishman was announced
THIS week. But he is not TO marry the wealthy

A Stiletto for a Rival I'm Love.

A New York special to the Philadelphia Press
says: Pasquale Catline of 1873 Adams street,
Hoboken, and Joseph Rinaldi of Newark
street are in love with Antoinetta Lisa of 1873
Adams street She favors Rinaldi's suit
Tuesday night Rinaldi called on her. Catline
saw him go in the house and waited until mid
night for him to leave. Then he followed
RInaldi and stabbed him in the back with q
stiletto. He aimed to hit his heart, but the
point of the weapon struck Rinaldi's shoulder
blade and glanced off, inficting an ugly but
not necessarily dangerous wound. The police
are looking for Catline. Rnaldi and Miss Lisa
will be married as soon as Rinaldi gets well.
