PARIS. February 23d.-The action of John
W. Mackay against Leon Alfarsa, as his
wife's administrator. resulted in the
plaintiffs non-suit. The claim originated
in a loan made by Mackay to Alfarsa.
The latter was the son-in-la of Isaac
Camondo a wealthy merchant, and one of
Mackay's most intimate friends during his
residence in this city.
Alfarsa had lost all bis means through
improvident speculations on the Bourse,
and implored Mackay to assist him in con-
cealing this misfortune from his father-in-
law. His financial straits drove mis- wife to
desperation, and she also made inter-
cession with Mackay for loan of $3.50, 900,
which was secured. Alfarsa relying on
being able to repay the debt with money
his wife would inherit through her father.
Isaac Comondo died few years ago and
left his large fortune TO his daughter, Nine.
E. Alfarsa.
Before the affairs of the estate were set
tied Madam Alfarsa became insane and
her husband was appointed her administra-
tor. Mackay tried to recover the loan but
Alfarsa always sought to shirk on the plea
of insolvency. At last Mackay's lawyers
commenced legal proceeding to have the
debt paid out of the personal estate OF
Madam Alfarsa on the ground of the loans
being made largely at her instance.
The Pardon of Due d'Orleans Revoked.
PARIS, February 23d-Just as the express
train for the Spanish frontier, with the
young Duke of Orleans on board. was
about to start from the Orleans railway
station last night, officials dispatched by
President Carnot arrived and took the
Duke from the train and brought him
back to prison. The cause for this action
on the part of President Carnot was the
| declaration made by Mangan, the Bou-
| langist Deputy, that, as the Duke had been
pardoned, he would now demand similar
action in favor of the strikers convicted in
| the provinces. 1t was thought that this
would cause SO much trouble to the Gov
eminent that it was advisable to have the
Duke brought back. He has thus no rea-
son to be pleased with the Boulangists.
