Mrs. Harrison to Spend the Summer at
Cape May Point

PHHADELPHIA, PA, June "A dispatch
to the Press from Washington, under yes
terday's date, says: II has been known
for some time that the Presidents family
will spend the heated months of this sum
mer at Cape MAY. But an incident occur
red to-day which will be as much of Il sur
prise TO the friends of the Administration
as il was 10 the inhabitants of the White
House themselves. Last summer, Mrs.
Harrison spent some time with Mrs. Nc
Kee and her children as the guests
of Postmaster General Wanamaker in
"A cottage at Cape May Point. Mrs. Harri-
son enjoyed herself so thoroughly during
this brief visit TO the seaside that she was
profuse in her acknowledgement OF Mr..
Wanamaker's hospitality. When the an
nouncement was recently made that Mrs.
Harrison and the rest of the family would
not 20 to Deer Park this summer, but that
they intended to spend their vacation by
the seaside. the Postmaster General re-
called Mrs Harrisons enjoyment on the
Jersey coast last summer.
The result of this was that to-day Editor
Mexican, of the Philadelphia Ledger, ac-
companied by Postmaster-General Wanna
maker. called upon Mrs Harrison at the
White House There Mr.. Mexican, on be-
half of a number of subscribers to the gift
whose names are known, presented Mrs.
Harrison with the deed and keys to the
cottage at Cape May Point, where she en-
loved herself last summer.
Mrs. Harrison was overcome by sur
prise. She is, however, greatly delighted
with the gift, and is especially proud be-
cause of the fact that this is the first piece
of real estate she has ever owned in her
own name.
The cottage is large old-fashioned
building containing about twenty rooms,
and it is probable that Mrs. Harrison will
visit Cape May Point within week or two
to inspect her new pc ssession and to make
preparations for residing there during the

Complications in an Action for n Strong
Box Full of Money.

TIFFIN, O., June Some time ago Au-
gust Schumacher purchased the farm
which for years had been owned by the
Cadwalladers. father and son, who were
both noted for their miserly habits and ac-
cumulaton of money, whith they were
never known to invest. While making
some improvements two workmen dug up
a heavy box. which Schumacher took pos
session of. Shortly afterward old coins be
gan to appear in circulation, and the ad-
ministrator of the younger Cadwallader
who died about a year ago, brought
suit for the possession of the box. writ
was placed in the hands of deputy
sheriff, who began to dig at point IN the
garden where the condition of the earth
Indicated that it had been recently dis
turbcd. He soon unearthed grain sack
well filled with the mysterious coin, which.
upon being counted, was found to amount
to .252 five franc pieces, or about $1,000
Scemucker at once brought suit TO regain
possession of the treasure, and suit Will
also be entered by the two workmen who
unearthed the box. Altogether the case
promises to provide an interesting series OF
suits at law.
The evidence of the two men VINO ais
covered the box is almost conclusive as
showing that the ,252 francs is scarcely
more than the fourth of what the chest
contained, as they agree that the total
weight was not less than 300 pounds

PROMINENT PARTIES INVOLVED.
4 Civil Action for Damages Instituted in
Aurora.

AURORA. IND, June "A civil action for
damages was instituted yesterday IN the
Dearborn Circuit Court at Lawrenceburg
which, from the standing Of the parties
hitherto, cannot fail to create quite SEN
sation in this community where they are
well known. The suit is entitled William
Block VS. Blythe w. Burlington, and dam
ages are claimed in the sum of 100000.
The plaihtiff alleges in his complaint that
in she month of July, 1881, the defendant
succeeded in alternating the affections of
his wife, and that the criminal relations
commenced at that time besween the two
were kept up until about six months ago,
when they were abruptly terminated by
his wife refusing to continue them.
Mr.. Block, number of years ago, wooed
and won Sarah, his wife, who was a
daughter of Page Cheek, deceased. and
four children have been born to them
Block is a hard working and industrious
man. and his married life was all that
could be desired until, as he alleges, the
defendant successfully piled the arts OF
the seducer, accomplished the ruin of his
wife and destroyed the domestic felicity of
himself and family. MIR Burlington has
been engoged for number of years in the
grocery business, has been reasonably sue
ceSsful, and enjoyed the confidence and
respect of the community.
One of the attorneys for the plantlh
states that Mrs Block has made frank
confession of her guilt and manifests deep
Denitence for her wrOng-dOng.

ROYAL FRICTION.
A FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF SERVIA SUES
FOR DIVORCE
The Political Significance Of the SeParatioa-A
Meeting Arranged Between the Queen Of Spain
and N. Carnot-Some Startling Rev
eatonS Locked For

LONDON. June The application filed
by NJ. Christich, formerly NJ. p, Prime
Minister OF Servia, and later Servian
Minister to Berlin, for divorce from his
wife Artemisia, has caused considerable
surprise, not, however, because OF any oe-
lief that his petition is groundless, but
rather that he should at this late day take
action. that any self-respected man IN ms
well-known position. would have resorted
10 years ago.
ii is a matter of notoriety that the poht-
zeal advancement of NJ. Christch. ana ms
retentions of the several high positions TO
which he was raised, Were based solely
upon his acquiescence in the scandalous re
lations existing between his wlte ana ms
sovereign King Milan, and II Is also cqualiy
well known that his social ana hnally ms
official ostracism, in Berlin, was due 10 ms
peculiar notion of his rights as a husband.
Furthermore no part Of Europe Is IN
ignorance of the fact that Nine. Christlch
finally left the husband she had never been
true TO and whose willingness TO continue
the beneficiary of her intidellty most prob
ably disgusted her to live openly with
Milan. who was compelled TO aDdlcate ms
throne bv the popular official clamor
against his profligacy and immortality. IL
was King Milan's relations with Nine.
Chrstich that formed the basis as wei as
the fabric of Queen Nathalies suit for d.
vorce against Milan. Yet with all these
proof for the coming NJ. Christich, as
though stin fear of her former master,
merely alleges ungovernable temper on the
part of his wife and her final desertion OF
his home as the grounds upon which he
petitions for separation.

portunitv for revenge TO 90 by, and, 1t IS

largely to the sensational character OF the
revelations of the proceedings in M. Chris

day. At the earnest solicitation OF Mime.

Heavy Coal Failure.

PITr,BrRG, June 6.-The assignment of
l. d. Risher, one of the largest shippers of
coal on the Monongahela. was announced
to-day. Mr.. Risher this season bought a
lot of coal Since December he sent down
the river over 2.000,0OO bushels. Over t.
0OO, 600 bushels are now lying at the wharf
at New Orleans unSold.
The First National Bank holds Mr..
Risher's paper for $4,000, and several OF
the notes have been protested. The bank,
to secure itself, attached the coal in the
New Orleans market, but the officials do
not intend 10 sell il.
River coal operators do not feel alarmed
about the matter.
Even if Mr. Risher is unable to pay his
accounts which are due" said one Of them,

any serious trouble though it will embar-

Iee Wilsnn,s Brands.

INpIANAPolS. June 6.-Lee f. Wilson,
the Shelby County Pension Attorney, was
to-day convicted in the United States for
fraud in procuring pensions. The trial be-
gan more than a week ago, and its progress
has been watched with much interest, ow-
ing to the political prominence of Wilson
In all the frauds that have been commit
ted on the Pension Bureau none have been
more glaring than those of Wilson, and
how ne could have carried on his schemes
so long is mysterious The jury signed a
petition asking the mercy of the Court, but
certainly there was no testimony showing
him to 6e entitled to any mercy. BY his
frauds he has taken several thousand dol
lars of the Governments money. II is true
he did not get this money himself, but
man who will risk the penitentiary for the
pittance of fee of 500 certainly IS too
reckless for mercy to be extended to him.

ANN ARBoR, MICH, June THE univer-

AGGRESSIVE policy toward the students. As
a result of the hotly contested sparring at
the field dav sports recently, Franz +. Farr
and Glidden, the men who entered the ring
have been prohibited from any more CON
tests of this kind. This, however, Is not
aimed directly at the students in question,
as it is intended that boxing will hencetorth
be excluded from the list of events at the
regular field day sports. The students are
angry at the action because they say II was
not the students, but the visiting athietlc
club men who gave the punishment. Inc
reason given for the decision IS that the
measure taken was necessary owing 10 the
attitude of the press on the subject.
