Victor Hugo's Granddaurhtcr.

Paris Letter to st. Louis Post Dispatch
Jeanne Hugo is just twenty years of age.
She is pretty and stylish blonde and has had
a good deal of social success since her debut in
society, which took place two years ago. She
has one defect, however-shc is addicted to
tight lacing, d habit which rather spoils the
grace of her carriage. She was tine idol of her
Industrious grandfather, who used to spend
hours In watching at her bedside whenever she
was i'll, contingency that not infrequently
happened, for in her early childhood Jeanne
was very delicate little creature. Victor Hugo
had at one time vision for his darling of an
alliance rendered impossible at that time by
the youth OF the parties and there is no doubt
that had his life been spared some four or five
years longer he would have tried to garry out
his project. Mrs. John w. Mackay was pre-
sented to him about a year before his death
and he was SO charmed with the beauty and
grace and intelligence of his fair visitor that
he remarked afterward to a gentleman (by
whom Was told of the incident): IF my little
Jeanne had been only a fc years older should
have endeavored to arrange a marriage be-
tween her and Mrs. Mackay's eldest son, par
ticulariy If the young gentleman resembles his
mother"

The Body of J. L. Gleason Rose to the
Surface of the River.

The body of Mr.. J. L. Gleason, who was
drowned in the river opposite the Arsenal wall
Sunday afternoon by the upsetting Of a sail
boat. as published in yesterdays STAR, was re-
covered at sunrise this morning. The crew OF
the police boat and many friends of The de-
ceased continued to drag the river until late
last night, and this morning they were out on
the river again at work before daylight. They
dragged the river thoroughly at the scene OF
the accident, but the hooks failed to catch the
body. The mud machines that had operated
along that part OF the river, it is thought. had
left many holes in the bed of the river and il
was supposed that the body sank into one OF
them and the hooks passed over it,
Capt Faunce's tug was on its way up the
river this morning, and was just near the spot
where the unfortunate man lost his life when
the sunrise gun at the arsenal was fired.
At almost the exact instant the gun was fired
the body came to the surface. The men on the
tug took the body to the arsenal grounds.
Lieut. Vernon gave q permit for the removal
of the remains and Undertaken ]. VIM. Lee
took the body to his undertaking establishment,
where he prepared ii for burial
Deputy Coroner Schaeffer viewed the body
today and gave . certificate of accidental
drowning.

Manager CIeveland,s Arrest.

Sunday afternoon at the Baltimore and Ohio
depot Policeman Howe arrested W. S. Cleve-
land, the minstrel manager. and took him to
the sixth precinct station, where he deposited
IS collateral for his appearance in the Police
Court yesterday. He failed to appear and the
collateral was forfeited. The charge made
against Mr.. Cleve and was under the disorderly
conduct act and charged him with congregat-
ing with other persons on New Jersey avenue
IN front OF the Baltimore and Ohio depot with
oostructing the entrance to the building and
engaging in loud and boisterous talking
Mr. CIeveland's side OF the affair was that he
was arrested at the instigatiOn of the ticket
agent who refused to give him information
that he desired. after having caused him to
miss the train necessary for him to catch by
not selling him tickets i'll advance. He had
done nothing and defed the policeman to ar
rest him without cause. He was compelled to
leave 80 collateral. and intends to proceed
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany.

BARNIE HAS JUMPED.
Baltimore to Go Into the American Asso-
ciation-Yesterday's Games.

Manager Barnie has come to the conclusion
! that Atlantic Association ball Ia not good
| enough for Baltimore people and has decided
to accept an invitation from the American As
ISOLATION magnatcs to enter that organization
on terms to be determined upon later. It will
be remembered that Barnie and his Orioles
| withdrew from the American last fall because
Phelps was elected president. and after vainly
seeking admission to the league entered the
Atlantic, which then promised to be healthy
addition to the ranks of the major leagues.
He forswore the American Association
entirely. and declared that he would
never have anything more to do with it,
but he recently received kilograms asking him
to take a franchise, and after q long consider
alton he decided TO accept the chance and de-
sert the sinking ship. Baltimore will probably
take the place OF Brooklyn. which can no
longer be supported by the association as it
has IN the past. This will no doubt spoil Wash
ingtons chance for getting the eighth place in
the American Association, as has been pro-
posed. and the breath holders might az well
begin breathing again. 1t begins to look as il
all the talk that has gone on about transferring
Brooklyn to Washington was for the purpose
OF concealinS the true inwardness OF the Bal
timore deal or else was genuinely begun by the
old enemies OF the Oriole team who still re-
main IN the association, such as ST;
LOUIS, Louisville and Columbus, and
who remember last falls history with bitter
ness. Manager Ted Sullivan yesterday received
telegram from Chapman of Louisville, asking
him to try to obtain an association franchise
and promising the support o. five clubs Ted
said IN reply that he was through with base
ball for 80, and slid off to the seaside.

GASHES CUT In A MULE.
Evidently the Work of a Malicious and

A miscreant entered the stable Of Con tractor
Andrew Gleason about z o'clock yesterday
morning and used some sharp instrument. pre-
sumablya razor, on a mule, making a deep
cash across the animals hip about twelve
inches long. The wound made on the mule
was dressed and later in the day the offense
was repeated, the second cut being as deep as
the first and much longer. The mule was
worth $500 and the injuries viii probably make
