A BRAVE WOMAN.
She is Not Afraid to Speak to the Gar
of Russia.

of Russia.
KANSAS CRY (Mo), March 26th-An
Associated Press dispatch from St. Peters,
burg this month stated that Madame Mary
Tsebrikova was arrested tor sending a per-
sonal letter to the Gar. and would probably
be exiled to Siberia. 1t was said the Rus
sian authorities intimated that this letter
threatened the Gar with the fate of his
father unless he modified his reactionary
policy.
George KEENAN, was seen by an Associ.
ated Press reporter regarding the matter
and told an interesting story. He stated
that Madam Tsebrikova was q cultured
Russian lady, who has long been known
in her own country as talented writer
She resided in Paris for some time up to
this year. KEENAN, had letter from her
under date of January 10th, in which she
said she was about to send memorial to the
Car, which would probably led to her arrest
and exile as soon as she returned to her
native country. She inclosed a copy of
this memorial to KEENAN,, from which he
makes extracts.
1t does not menace the Gar, but seems
to be calm, reasonable review of the ex-
listing state of things in Russia, coupled
with more earnest appeal for more lib
eral policy. In the letter to KEENAN, she
says her friends tell her she is foolhardy,
but she cares not, and does not think favor
ably of revolution and bloodshed, although
she doubts not it will some day come,
unless there is change, however far dis
tant.
The letter and memorial throughout are
OF high tone, and KEENAN, saws that he
desires to place them before the public as
refulation of the charge made by Russian
officials that Western writers have ideal
lied the Nihilists beyond all semblance to
reality"

At the armory Gotte's pockets were
searched and some very interesting letters
were found. There were great many
short notes signed with the names of young
ladies who are often seen at receptions and
parties where swelleom reigns. One letter,

HUNTING A TITLE.
Miss Mary Wheeler and Her Long de.
layed Marriage.

PHILADELPHIA, March Doth. While
Philadelphia's chosen await with the keen
est curiosity the wedding of Count Pappen-
helm and Miss Mary Wheeler, new story
has gone forth to explain the long delay in
the nuptials.
1t is customary, it seems, for nobleman
contemplating matrimony to frs; consult
all the members of his family, and every
one of them has consented in this case to
the union with Miss Wheeler save rustic
old uncle of the Counts who lives in Ba-
varia. who declared that the rich blood of
the Pappenheims must not be crossed with
that of the untitled daughter of Columbia
Such is the story that comes by letter from
young Elliott, who is coursing through
Europe in pursuit OF a title for his sister
The uncle, it seems, asserts that he will not
consent to the marriage unless a title is
forthcoming.

The inhabitants were awakened by the
roar of the water and it was with great
difficulty that anyone escaped. Two lives
were lost. The names of the parties can
not be learned. To add further to the
horror of the scene the warehouse and its
contents was totally destroyed by fire, re-
sulting from water coming in contact with
several barrels of unslacked lime. The
warehouse also contained an immense
amount of freight. The damage done is
inestimable, as no precautions had been
