LOVE AND LUORE.
A Brooklyn Millionaire Pays Handsomely
for His Amusement.

NEW YORK, Dec BIN the court of ap-
peals at Albany In the celebrated case of
Campbell against Arbuckle for breach of
promise, the judgment of the lower court
was affirmed. The judgment was that the
plaintiff should recover $4,000 and an
allowance of s.. 900 for expenses.
The trial in this case began on the morn
ing of January 4, 1888, in the supreme
court before Judge Brush. The suit was
for 100000. Miss Clara Campbell, the
plaintiff, was a daughter of John Camp
bell of Ironton, o., once wealthy iron
manufacturer The defendant was Charles
Arbuckle of Brooklyn. the millionaire
dealer in coffee. Ex-Judge Fullerton and
i. c. Rushmore appeared as counsel for
the defendant
Judge Fullerton briefly sketched the his
tory of the acquaintance between Miss
Campbell and the defendant. 1t began, he
said, shortly after the return of the plain
tiff from Italy, where she had spent eight
years in study to prepare herself for sing
ing in opera. The acquaintance soon
ripened into love, and an engagement
came which lasted for two years, when it
was broken by Mr.. Arbuckle's persistent
neglect 10 carry out his part of the con-
tract. In the trial of the case the engage
ment was proven beyond a doubt. The
defendant admitted it, though he pleaded
that it had come about through his inabil-
ity to properly care for himself at a time
when he was using large quantities of whis-
key and quinine to cure liver trouble.
A striking feature of the trial was the
reading of large number of letters writ
ten by Arbuckle to the plaintiff, in which
she was addressed in terms of affection
and endearment. Arbuckle, in these let
ters, ordinarily addressed the plaintiff as
"Bunme" and referred to himself as
Baby Bunting" He sometimes called
the plaintiff Pet" at other times Dear
Pet Bunny" and once in a while Baby"
He often signed his letter with III. 5. and
*. s, which stood for 'hugs and kiss
ers." Another combination of capitals
which seemed to strike his fancy was II.
NJ. O." which was short or kiss me
quick" The case was given to the jury at
3 O'Clock on the afternoon of January 9.
A sealed verdict was handed in within an
hour and when it was opened the next
it was found that the jury had
found for the plaintiff in the sum of 49,,
co.. In January, 1889, the verdict was sus-
tanned by the general term, whence the
case was taken TO the court of appeals

NEGROES DuPED.

LAPoRTE, Ind, Dec. 3.-Cass county,
Mich, which borders on the Indiana line
is thickly settled with negroes, and it is
reported that much excitement prevails
among them, caused by an Indian named

all black men with Indian blood in them
are entitled to all the way from 500 to
50, 900 from the government 1t is pretty
well known that the last payment to be
made by the government to the Pottowa-
tonne Indians is due, and little difficulty is
met with in working upon the credulty of
the negroes For the past two
weeks Long Chief has been hav-
ing audiences with the different and
numerous colored people of Calvin and
Porter townships, and told them that there
was so much money in the government
treasury that every Indian, and especially
those who belonged TO the three certain
tribes, and all colored men and women
who had Indian blood in their veins, would
receive all the way from 500 TO So 900, but
requested them to keep the matter quiet
until the proper time. Long Chief re-
from families 81 apiece, for personal ex-
penses, and part for the government.
At least 100 people paid him money
in different sums, and to each one
he gave an envelope. telling them
to keep it until he came
around again. Long Chief promised TO
get large sum of money from the govern
ment, and set a day on which to pay them.
The colored people met in body at the
appointed time, in Calvin township. but
Long Chief failed to put in an appearance,
and it was generally believed that he had
departed for other fields The affair has
caused much excitement, but all those
who received an envelope persist in still
believing that they will yet receive their

for they have full faith in Long
Chief, who possessed magnetic influence
over the negroes and seemed TO talk in
straightforward and honest manner.
Hundreds of dollars have been collected by
Long Chief from his credulous dupes.

FORGED FREIGHT BILLS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 3.-The Star
this evening says that sensational discov-
cries were made today at the session of the
Transmissouri Freight association. The
grain dealers of Kansas City had made ap-
plication for a readjustment of alleged dis
criminative rates. The Missouri Pacific
displayed expense bills forged by certain
grain dealers and representatives of three
of the western lines, so as to make the re-
bate on shipments in transit appear large
enough to make very great reduction in
the freight rates The names of the roads
and of the grain dealers implicated are not
given. The application for readjustment
in rates and the granting of freconsignment
privileges were not acted upon.

ADEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The Democratic
senators held caucus this afternoon to
discuss the order of business. The chances
of the passage of the election bill, if it
should reach final vote was canvassed
and individual senators expressed divers
opinions as TO the action Of the Republican
party leaders to keep their forces in line.
The conclusion reached was to maintain
an unalterable opposition to the passage
of the bin. The minority viii seize every
opportunity to discuss the bill, exhaust
lively and fairly, and to strive to amend
every Objectionable feature as reached in
the detailed consideration of the measure,
as was the case with the tariff bill. The
opinion was expressed that as the majority
had not yet signified any intention to un-
ruly restrict reasonable debate, it would
be premature for the caucus to undertake
the arrangement of a program to meet the
present closure rule.

RAILROAD MEN IN TROUBLE.
Chicago Railroad Officers Alarmed by the
Action Of the Federal Grand Jury

CHICAGO. Dec 3.-The grand jury yes
terday resumed its investigation of the
alleged violations of the interstate COM
lnerce law by western railroads and ship
pers a number of shippers were exam
lned, and among the more prominent rail
way officials put on the stand was Traffic
Manager w. Nj. Sage, of the Rock Island.
The opinion is gaining ground that several
indictments viii be found against shippers
and railway officials and, in consequence,
an uneasy feeling exists in railway and
shipping circles.
James r. Peasley, treasurer Of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, was
brought into the federal court this after
noon for falling TO erquestiOns before
the feaeral grand Jurv. and especially for
his refusal To produce the books and papers
of the company. a claim is made that the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy had been
paying rebates 20 individuals, and among
them {. ID. 5. Galope, who represents the
board of trade firm of y. A. Warren & Co.
On this subject Mr. Peasley declined to
talk on the ground that he might tend to
incriminate himself, and as TO the books,
he refused TO produce them, because they
did not belong to him, and he was not
Obliged to incriminate a company he
worked for.
This was reported to Judge Blodgett, and
he directed an order TO be entered requir-
ing Mr. Peasley TO show cause this after
noon why he refused to produce the dOcu
ments wanted and answer the questions
Judge Blodgett decided that Mr. Peasley
would have to answer the questions and
procure the books of the railway com
pany pertaining TO any transaction with
Galope. He said that Peasley being only
the custodian of the documents, would
not criminate himself by giving the nee
essary testimony. The grand jury had a
right to see any evidence which related to

daughters of the south, darling coquetry
of manner, a graceful poise of figure, and
numberless other graces that make her
well deserving the laurels she has won.
Miss Kathryn Pumphrey, of Knoxville,
is magnetic, chic" bewildering and
pronounced social success. An heiress and
an only child, she breathes an atmosphere
of constant luxury and pleasure, yet never
loses the freshness, vigor and individuality
of manner that is half her charm. AT Old
Point Comfort early in the season she was
an acknowledged belle, nor did her tri-
umphs wane during her subsequent career
at White Sulphur. She gowns herself
picturesquely and always with an eye to
the artistic, and is a striking figure in any
assemblage, with her pretty hair in rus
set halo about her spirituelle face.

In closing it may be said that the lines
