preparation could be applied to the finest
and costliest draperies and hangings with
out changing their appearance in the least.
He was very anxious to obtain the permits
sion of such well known people of society
as the Astors, Vanderbilts, Goelets and
Lorillards to coat their lambrequins and
porters with the noble fire kings wonder
full preparation, but somehow or other
these grandees would not countenance
such an arrangement, so the proposed
exhibition never came off.
During the past week the noble baron,
now full-fedged comte by the death OF
his father recently, returned to this city,
after an absence of several years, and pro-
poses to furnish great sensation for plod
ding New Workers.

tion fee, when, in accordance with the pro
posed system, the members will be entitled

articles in the market.
Local clothiers, shoemakers, haberdash
ers, ice Dealers coal merchants, fshmen
marketmen and jewellers are incensed a
the proposed scheme and claim If the CONT
carries his plans into execution, they vii
have to close up shop. The residents o
Fifth avenue, on the other hand, are de
lighted with the novel idea.

EAToNTowN, N. j., April 2.-John Gala
han and William Buckley, two young men
living near linton Falls, were yesterday

by loud knocking on the kitchen door.
Before going down stairs he asked who

When he opened the door his friend Clancy
was not there, but instead he found Buck
| ley and Callahan. Roswell was lying on
the floor the next moment, having been
knocked down by one of the men. Mrs.
| Roswell, who was aroused by the noise,
came up stairs, and she was knocked down
and brutally treated by both men, each in
turn holding Roswell at bay with a revol-
yer. Mrs. Roswell received serious injur

The st. Petersburg Students.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-The curator
of the universitys attempt to calm the ex-
element among the students met with no
success. A detachment of police, therefore,
was placed on permanent duty at the uni
versity. While arrests of students at the
military academy and the academy of
medicine were being made, bodies of Cos
sacks and gen d. armes surrounded the build
ings. The movement has no connection
with politics, but is chiefly the outcome OF
discomfort arising from the reactionary
and arbitrary spirit of the new university
statutes, which have taken the place of the
liberal regulations in force during the reign
of Alexander II.

Norfolk Sporting and Athletic Club.

Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer DiSpatch.l
RICHMOND, Va, April 3.-No little stir
was caused here today by a report that
under the privileges of law recently
passed by the legislature incorporating the
Sporting and Athletic association of Nor
folk this club is allowed to have pri e
fights, and that Sullivan and Jackson
would be invited to fight without molesta-
ton in Virginia. A movement has been
started in sporting circles for this purpose
Opinions are divided among citizens as to
whether the fight ought to be permitted. A
young lawyer asserts that any interference
on the part of the police with the fighters
would be illegal, as the law clearly gives
the association the right to have these
fights on their grounds.
Advocates of this move argue that it will
attract thousands from all over the United
States. They think that when people
learn that the fight is to take place in this
state, whose latest law gives the club the
right to have prize fights, and that there
fore principals and spectators need haveno
fear of arrest, crowds will come from
all quarters. Of course the Sporting and
Athletic club of Norfolk will make tremen-
dous profits from the gate receipts alone
q
big monopoly until the legislature meets
and repeats the law.
Some very savage comments are heard
on the subject. Second Auditor Ruffin
said: II hope they will fight, which they
have perfect right to do under the
charter granted the Athletic and Sport
ing club, and l hope they viii
kill each other and that will teach legis-
lators the necessity of carefully consider
ing all bills before they pass them, and i
will show the governor the necessity o
, reading all bills before he approves them.
John S. Curtiss, member of the yer,
legislature which passed the bill, said
IF an attempt should be made to have tn
) prize fight in this state / believe Governo
Mckinney would stop it, if he had to orde
out all the militia, and l would be one t
volunteer to assist in breaking it up.'
1t is understood Sullivan has espresso
! his willingness to come to Virginia.

Twenty-Five 100000 to Marry Her.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dlspatch.l
CHICAGO, April "a strange story was
told to Judge Collins this morning in the
suit of E. E. Hutton, to recover certain
moneys from his stepson, H. w. Kings
bury. Hutton's wife, in whose interest
the suit is really brought, has been four
times married. Her first husband was A.
r. Kingsbury. Kingsbury died leaving
property worth 100000, and the widow
married General Lawrence. A sensational
divorce suit followed and Mrs Lawrence
found herself once more free. Her third
choice was Mr.. Vandennest. Again the
lady was divorced and at the age OF forty
five years she married her fourth husband.
He was about twenty-five years of age
and an Englishman, handsome, and of the
good, old stock of the Huttons. The man
ner of Mrs. Vandennest's meeting and sub
sequent marriage to Hutton was romantic,
to say the least. Her son, young w. II.
Kingsbury, and Hutton were college-matss
Kingsbury took Hutton home with him
and introduced the Englishman to Mrs
| Vandennest. She fell violently in love
with Hutton and, it is alleged, offered the
young man $4,000 worth of property in
Chicago if he would wed her. Hutton,
being poor, accepted, and the two were
married secretly, and the son, young Kings
bury, did not learn of the strange compact
until two months LATER when Mr.. and Mrs.
Hutton were remarked publicly. When
the son was child his mother was ap
pointed guardian of his property, the
amount being about forty thousand dollars
Later, another guardian was appointed
Mrs. Hutton still has her sons interest IL
her possession, however, and her husband:
suit against the son is to knock out young
Kingsbury's title to the amount.

IDAHO WILL COME IN.
The Republicans Pass the Bill for
Her Admission.
THE DEMOCRATS DID NOT VOTE,
But the Speaker Counted them for Quorum
They viii D Ike it Test Case on
the New Rules.

WASHINGTON, April g. Special telegram
to THE HERALD. THE Idaho bill passed
the House to-day; the result was not ex-
pected. Probably score or more of Re
publicans who voted for the measure under
the crack of the party lash would, if they
had been left to follow their personal in
clinations, have opposed it. But the Re
publicans want the two additional Senators
which Idaho's admission will bring them,
and the more INSCRIPTIONS of their lead
ers easily brought their needed followers
into liue. The Democrats fought the bill
increasingly. Their arguments were forci-
BILE and logical, but the word had gone
forth TO pass the bill, and passed it would
have been had it been twenty times as in
iquitous.
Mr. Perkins. of Kansas, spoke on the
Idaho admission bill in advocacy of the
measure, and emphasized his assertion that
the only objection made to the bill was that,
though taught, Mormonism in Idaho was
DISTINGUISHED. He knew some Mormons
who are good men, but as an organization
, the Mormon church is pernicious.
Mr.. ManSur, of Missouri. inquired why
: the gentleman had not voted to diSfran-
rhise the Mormons of Wyoming, and Mr..
Perkins replied that the question was not
presented TO the committee. AS far as be
knew there were no polygamists in Wy
oming, but if there were they would be
disfranchised under the Edmunds act. He
believed IN tbs disfranchisement of Nor
mons on account of their practices and the
teachings Of their church. 1t was for the
House to say whether it would crown with
its approval the criminal organization
known as the Latter day Saints, or whether
it would tell the intelligent, patriotic PEG
pie of Idaho that they would be denied ad
mission until they took into fellowship
men guilty Of bigamy and polygamy
Mr.. Stewart, of Vermont, spoke in sup
port of the bill and denounced the practice
Of the Mormon church. The constitution
Of Idaho is in line with the Edmunds bill.
MIR. Buckelow, of Pennsylvania oppose,
the Idaho constitution, because it outlaws
members of a certain church.
Oates, of Alabama, criticized the com
pulsory education feature of the copstitu
ton.
McAdoo, of New Jersey. while denoun
cling the practice of polygamy, thought tn
constitution invaded the domain of reig
ious belief.
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, said the major
ity CT the committee on territories frame
the Idaho bill in such a way as to secur
partisan legislation instead of the prope
legislation to bring the state into the unioI
