MADRID, March Am Englishman, sup
posed to be Richard Pigott, was arrested at
the Hotel des Ambassadors, under the name
OF Ronald Ponsonby. The man afterward
committed suicide with revolver.
The description corresponds with that OF
Pigott. The man spoke English only. A
small amount Of silver was found in his
pockets. The police have taken possession of
the papers and other articles found upon him
There is now no doubt of the identity of the
suicide. His seizure was effected by the
Spanish authorities at the request Of the
British embassy, which had received tele-
graphic instructions from the foreign Office.
The head Of the wretched man was horribly
disfigured by the shot, and the doctors say
that death must have been instantaneous.
Suspicion was attracted to his movements
by the interpreter of the hotel, who noticed
that he appeared restless and very uneasy
about receiving news from his friends after
sending off telegram.
LONDON March 2.-The description given
of the man who committed suicide in Madrid
tallies with that Of the man who called at the
Hotel Des Deux Mondes, in Paris, after
Pigott's flight. The suicide is undoubtedly
Pigott. He doubtless assumed the name OF
"Ronald Ponsonbyn because the initials cor.
responded by those on his baggage.
The Standard says that Pigott, when ar
rested, appeared to take the matter coolly.
With the utmost calnness he asked permis.
sion to go into an alceve and get his overcoat.
The request being granted he retired, and
the next minute a shot was heard His cap
tors rushed to him to find thnt he had place1
the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth, and
firing it, had died almost instantly.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2--The marriage

ness IN Camden. II the bill shall become a
law several minister's who now secure quite
snug income from the trade IN nuptial knots
with Pennsylvania couples will find big holes
eaten IN their purses, and they do not look
with pleasure upon tho prospect. Since the
marriage license law went into effect IN Penn
sylVania In October, 1885, 5000 couples have
been married in Camden each year
Last year the number was 4 800 and Of
these only about 10 per cent were those Of
New Jersey couples The ease with which a
young couple can skip across to Camden to
well advertised dominies house and be tied
up has been demonstrated time and time
again through newspaper exposures Of mar

The business has been SO we'll advertised by

five Camden ministers enjoy q complete

handsomely ON the nearly 400 weddings Of
the Pennsylvania couples they have each
month. Say four Of them have 300 wod-

walls, laid in good mortar, with heavy tim.

Gladstone in the Role OF Prophet.

LONDON. March 2.-The Telegraph says the
speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone in the
house Of commons was historical He is seen
on the warpath at his best, and his attack
upon the Liberal Unionists was made with
the tremendous force of invective and
sarcasm OF great master. Mr.. Chamber
lain smiled nervously as the house roared at
the great Liberals sarcastic allusions, and
glanced curiously at Mr. Gladstone at other
times. The ex-premier's peroration was
spoken in the character Of a prophet Of the
wrath TO come, with resonant voice and flash
ing eyes. The aged statesman seemed like
another Isaiah, crying "Woe unto them in
high places in Jerusalem His last words
We're signs of the coming doom, and he fin
ished amid a tempest Of cheers.

of executions by electricity. Opinions ex-
pressed were to the effect that the first case
must of necessity be purely experimental;
that it would be best to have but one place
FOR executions, and as there was no suitable
place in any part Of the prisons it would be
best to have a building built expressly for the
purpose Of the solitary confinement and the
death penalty.

- - a
Now and then some one announces
himseli'yas the victim Of the 1000, 900
postage stamp hoax, writes somebody in
Good Housekeeping. It Is firmly believed
that u LOO, 900 stamps are collected and
forwarded to some one, 1 bed.Ril1 30 pfo-
vided for an invalid boy in some hospital
or . home for an orphan. Christian
churches have been the special victims,
and there Is hardly one in England. the
United States, Australia, India or any
other country that has not had several
members begging, borrowing and stealing
stamps in order to make upthe million
that win 60 70 elOthe and feed SOME. poor
orphan.
This sWindle originated in the fertile
brain Of . postage stamp collector at
etettin, Germany. He desired to get vast
collections TO sort out and sell again, and
hit upon plan to set the whole civilized
world TO 70 TO work for him free Of charge.
He prsyed- uIon tie sympathies Of the
people By announcing that an orphan
would be cared lot IN the Syrian 0EphanI
Home for every /, OOO, 900 Of stamps sent
10 him. This worked well, and the next
dodge was the starting Of q mythical
mission In China, the Holy Sister Of
which agreed for every 100000 stamps
sent tothGu 70 save from the jaws Of the
crocodiles Of the Yellow rivefat lest one
Chinese baby, and then educate and
ehristiAniIs IL TheC stamps are 70 be
sent, not TO JeFsulam or China, but to

The last claim on the sympathy Of the
world that has been made by this Ger
man l. that for 100000 stamps q good
home for an old lady or an old gentleman
will be provided in one Of the three homes
lone in London, another in New York
and the third in Cincinnati. For 500,-
900 stamps a bed will be endowed in .
hospital, and for 0,OOO. q home will be
found for an orphan for one year. There
are agencies in various cities to forward
stamps to Stettin. It is estimated that
this swindler has collected over 100, eO0,-
900 stamps in the United States alone,
and that these were worth from 500, 900
10 three times that amount:
