rested for Committing Numerous
Burglaries.
VienRa Letter in Mem York Tribune.
The arrest aud imprisonment last week
Of an Austrian prime minister's son, on the
charge of having committed several burg
laries, constitutes the principal topic Of
discussion in salon, club and officers casino
here, although but slight reference has been
made thereto by the press. The prisoner is
Capt. Baron Norbert Won Haymerle. for
merly an officer of the Eighty-fourth in
fantry regiment, and a son Of the late
Baron Won Haymerle, who succeeded Count
Andrassy as chancellor aud prime minister
of the Austro- Hungarian empire.
1t appears that the young man has since
his fathers death lost both fortune and
good name, and has been forced TO resort 10
all kinds of questionable expedients in Or
der to keep from starving. Last month a
villa in the aristocratic suburb Of Hietzing
was broken into at night and a quantity Of
silver plate stolen. The police, having
obtained clew, finally traced the crime to
the young baron, who but few years ago
stood beside his fathers coffin in the chapel
of the imperial palace here, with the empe-
ror, the archdukes, and all the highest dig
nitaries around HIM mourning for the dead
statesman.
Youug Haymerle, besides being con-
cerned in several burglaries. is also accused
of having been ass )ciated with Baron
Aders in swlndliDg several of the leading
jewellers here, who had until now refrained
from taking any proceedings against him
for the sake Of his fathers name. The gem
eral impression-one might almost venture
to say the hope--is that he will find some
means Of committing suicide before the case
comes up for trial. His brother officers are
particularly outspoken in their sentiments
with regard to this, as they regard the dis
grace TO their uniform as intolerable.

that American audiences would not be
reconciled to this means Of avoiding Iogi-
cal conclusion.
And yet the application Of the rigid logic
peculiar to the French school Is still almost
impossible 10 American dramatists. This
can, undoubtedly, be accounted for by the
fact that wo have not been born In an at

There is considerable talk among our
citizens about taking the necessary le-
gal steps to have the county equaliza-
ton as far as relates to this CITY re-
viewed. To increase the valuation in
one year from 5000 to S93, 900 hardly
appears to be fair, but the fact of it is
that the entire system, at least as far as
1t is carried out in this county, is a

ply to the entire county government

A Suspicious Character.

Special Pension Examiner H. A.
Kingsley yesterday arrested a man in
the town of Vernon, who, it is alleged,
was passing himself of'as special pen
sion agent and thus obtaining an easy
livelihood at the expense of soldier
farmers, even if doing nothing worse.
Ills scheme was to pretend to aid the
farmers to obtain pensions, in the
meantime living comfortably at their
homes. 1t is suspected too, that some
deeper roguery, such as obtaining notes
by sharp methods, may have been in
the mans mind. He pretended that
Kr. Kingsley had been transferred to
Michigan and he himself sent here to
take his place. Before Court Commits
sioner F. M. Stewart, he said his name
was VOORHEES,, that he was So years of
age, that he came from Pontiac, Mich,
and that his business was legitimate,
"but" said he, II prefer not to state
now what it is" He waived examina-
ton and was committed. to jail in de-
fault of $300.-MGdison Journal, NOv. 80.
The above refers to the individual,
who hired the horse and buggy at
Humphreys livery stable, November
Goth, and carried on his swindling busi-
ness in several of the towns in this
vicinity. Mr.. Humphrey recovered
his horse and buggy through Sheriff
HibbaId, who found them at farmers
four miles east of Fort Atkinson, where
VOORHEES, had left them. The examina-
ton of VOORHEES, will take place before
the grand jury at Madison tomorrow
