Want to Move Quarters.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 1S.-A morning pa
per says: @. H. Gibson, one of the newly
elected directors of the Louisville, New AL
bany and Chicago, says the new manage
ment is seriously considering the removal
of the general offices from Chicago to Louis
vile. President Breyfogle lives at New AL
bany, near Louisville, but is thoroughly
identified with the latter city. 1t is also
stated that the Louisville and Nashville,
which is a silent power behind the new
management, desires the general offices To-
Gated at Louisville. One of the arguments
of the new management is retrenchment.
The rental of the general offices in Chicago
is $4,000 a year, while quarters can be Sc
cured in Louisville for about $4,000.

Miss Harper of Alexander, N. Y, Is Certainl
Success,

Miss Harper Of Alexander, N. Y, Is Certainl
Success.
New York, March 1S.-Dr. Duval, of the
New York School of Anatomy, and Mr.
Marsh, of the New York Psychological So
ciety, are going to visit the village of Alex
ander, Genesee county, N. Y, this week, to
investigate the sudden and wonderfully
acquired strength of Miss Emily Harper.
The young lady is delicate looking though
quite handsome young woman of IS
years, and weighs about ITO pounds.
One day, about three months ago,
her mother noticed that Emily broke
a great number of household articles while
handling them. Her mother supposed
carelessness was the cause and reproved
her for it. Now the girl was as yet I'M
conscious of her newly acquired strength,
the breaking of the articles being due to
this lack of knowledge and the power to
gauge and adapt her strength to her re-
Quirements. This in itself was the cause
of quite calamity, for as soon as her
mother had ceased Gliding her, En- lily
threw her arms around her and gave her a
good hug, just 70 show that she bore NJ
resentful feeling. Upon relaxing her
grasp, Mrs. Harper fell to the floor with a
moan of pain. An investigation disclosed
that two of her ribs were broken.
Mr.. Harper was absent at the time of the
occurrence, and upon his return questioned
his daughter concerning the accident. The
girl, anxious to justify herself, rushed up
to her father with the exclamation This
is all did" She placed her arms about
him and gave him an affectionate squeeze.
Mr.. Harper, in speaking of the embrace,
said: 81 was once Rugged by
bear in the Maine woods.
| have wrestled backhand with
some pretty strong men, but | never in my
life received such a shaking up as that girl
gave me when she showed me all she did
to ma" OF course, these two hugs made it
all plain that Miss Harper had suddenly
become possessed of remarkable strength,
and in spite of the efforts of the family to
keep the matter quiet it has become the
talk of the town.

Joe Tye RObs Jung Ling of $4,000 and
Skips Across the Briny,


Skips Across the Briny,
BosToN, Mass, March, 1S.-An old, fat
Chinaman, one of the best known of his
race in Boston, is now, probably, sailing
across the Pacific ocean on his way to the
FloweIy Kingdom, having In his possess
sion $4,000 belonging to another pig
tailed celestial, who runs small laundry
in South Boston. The first Chinaman's
name is Joe Tye. The other is Jung Ling
1t is not to be supposed that Jung Ling
made $4,000 washing shirts and old socks.
He won it in lottery. He bought one
twentieth ticket in the January drawing of
the lottery, and he was delighted beyond
measure when he secured a copy of the
drawing list to find that his ticket had
drawn one-twentieth of the capital prize.
which represented $4,000. His laundry
was owned by Joe Tye, who has been
in this country number of
years, and has always enjoyed the conf
dence of his countrymen. who believed him
to be strictly honest man. I've ran tea
shop at No. "a Harrison avenue. In due
course of time the money was collected,
and Jung Ling was notified. Jung Ling
did not want to take all the money, but ac-
cepted $500 and cashiers check for $14,-
45O, which was given TO Joe Tye to keep
until Jung Ling made up his mind that he
wanted to cash it. Joe Tye also took
charge of the $500 cash. This he neglected
to give to Jung, but, worse than that, the
next day, March 4, he endorsed the check,
cashed it and at once jumped the city,
leaving his store to take care of itself.
Eight days later Jung Ling became aware
that he had been defrauded, and that Joe
Tye had skipped. Officers were detailed to
look up Joe but thew could not find him.
From all they could learn they were salts
fled that Joe had gone to San Francisco,
and taken the first steamer for China. They
learned, also, that before going he had

placed upon Joe Tye's store, but Jung
Ling will realize but very small part of

age, weighs about 1856 pounds, is five feet
ten inches in height, has heavy eyebrows,

GERMANY.
lRRECONCILABLE.

BERLIN, March 1S.-It is stated today IN
ference between the emperor and Prince
Bismarck is irreconcilable. 1t arises from
the chancellor's refusal to accede to the re-
quest made by DR.. Windthorst the leader
of clerical party in Germany, to restore
to the Duke of Cumberland the claimant
of the throne of Hanover the larger por-
tion of the Guelph fund. The report is re-
peated today that the Emperor proposes to
appoint Gen. Won Caveri, who is now COM
mander of the Tenth army corps 70 the
chancellorship.
The att ude of the emperor in opposing
Prince Bismarck in the matter is taken as
an indication of his desire to conciliate the
clerical party. If the government is to Sc
cure a working majority in the new reich
stag it cannot we'll get on without the party
of the centre which DR.. Windhorst con-
trolls.
CHURCH AND STATE.
When the public worship estimates came
up for discussion in the lower house of the
Prussian diet today DR.. Windthorst said it
had been his intention to review the posi-
ton of the Catholics in Prussia, but that he
would desist owing to the uncertainty of
the political situation.
RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
1t is announced that Prince Bismarck S
resignation of the chancellorship was ac-
cepted by the emperor at noon today.

THE CHANCELLoRsHIP.
80 p. m.-The emperor continues to
withhold his formal acceptance of Prince
Bismarck s resignation. His reason for not
accepting is that the constitution does not
admit of an interregnum in the tenure of
the chancellorship, and as the choice of a
successor to Prince Bismarck is beset with
difficulties, his majesty defers his accept
ance until he finally decides whom he shall
appoint as chancellor. All members of the
Prussian ministry resigned at the same
time that Prince Bismarck rendered his
resignation.
A COUNCIL OF WAR.

commanders of the various army corps
