LONDON. June 10 by cable to the \. Y.
NOritiHg journal. William Stead. late editor
OF the Pal Nal gazette, was arrested Friday at
Oberammergau. the home of the Passion Play
where he presented hims elf armed with pho
Geographic apparatus. He went to the theatre
and seated himself near the stage. AS there
were no other auditors near him he had an excel
lent opportunity TO take pictures of all the grand
scenes which the subject offered. Unfortu-
nately Caiaphas the high priest, who Is also
DurgomaSter of the town, eSpled the camera
from tue stage and sent messenger with
orders 10 ST, p the photographer. Stead at once
desisted. Immediately thereafter second
messenger came and demanded that the plates
already taken be given up and destroyed. This
was too much for the London editor who said
that at least he hoped to get away with few good
pictures any way. So he demurred and laughed
IN a knowing way. The messenger was police
officer. Come with me- he said quietly. and
grasping his scabby arm marched HIM of TO the
bIrgomaster's ONCE.
When Caiaphas demanded the plates, Stead
showed document granting him permission TO
do as be did. The burgomaster was taken by
surprise and released Stead. Stead enjoyed the
experience hugely, rs it gave him an opportu-
nGty to meet the daughter .of the burgomaster,
who plays the part OF the Virgin Mary. 1t was
her first maiden tribute TO him as newspaper
, writer when she gave him her picture.

England's Next Indian Problem.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable. |
LONDON. June 15.-Amorg the gravest ques-
lions of imperial legislation, which are
pressing for consideration, and which must be
dealt with in the near future, is that of infant
marriages and polygamy in India. peculiarly
revolving case of juvenile polygamy has just
been brought to the attention of the govern
ment, in which an eminent Brah-
min living i'll Bengal compelled his
six aunts, eight sisters and four daughters all
10 be married together to a boy nine years of
age. The eldest of the eighteen brides was
n re than fifty years old and the youngest was
scarcely three months old, and was brought to
the wedding wrapped n swaddling clothes and
living in a brass salver. 1t is affirmed that This
case is by no means eXtr fordinaTy and that hun
,dreds of marriages equally outrageous are oc-
kNrring every year among the Kuhn Brahmins
The chief difficulty is thar the marriage customs
are part OF the Brahmins' religious system, and
that 10 interfere with them would therefore be
most bitterly resented, still il is believed that
moral consideration will soon compel England
10 take the matter up. That boy nine years
old should be married TO eighteen wives, all OF
one fam ly. in three generations. and ranging
from three months TO fifty years in age, is an
anna zing state of affairs for the British empire
IN tie year 1890.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
A Boy on Trial Charged with
Numbering his Mother.
ACCIDENT ON THE MONTANA UNION.
Soon Dies-Arrested for Refusing to
Answer Census Questions.

BUTTE June Especial telegram to THE
HERALD l-Thomas Bryant, lad not more
than eighteen years of age, was arraigned be
fore the bar of the district court Of this city this
morning charged with the murder of his
mother. The killing took place at her home at
Burlington, q suburb OF this city, February II
last. No one was present to witness the shoot
ing, and 4 number of theories have been fornu-
lated regarding it. What is known is that Mrs.
Bryant was a Woodworking woman, doing
everything in her power to keep her three chill
dren and save money enough to join
her husband, who was foreman Of
a mine in Australia. The boy was an
incorrigible youth who would not work but de-
lighted in spending his mothers money in
saloons and other low places. Learning THAI
his mother had saved up 500 ne asked her for
part OF 1t with which 10 go TO Frisco. This re-
quest caused the quarrel which cost his mother
her life and has put his now in jeopardy The
state will prosecute on the theory that the
shooting was wiilful and premedltated and for
the purpose of securing the money. The de-
tense will be that it was purely accidental The
unfortunate woman only lived long enough after
Receiving that deadly shot through the breast to
stagger to the next room and expire on the
threshold without being able to speak
word The boy took S225 OF the
money ana Hed 10 the hills where
he escaped pursuit by hiding in u deserted
placer mine. He narrowly escaped being shot
by his pursuers several times. After suffering
greatly from cold and exposure he came in and
gave himself up. Feeling very high against
him at the time but ii has had time to die down
some now. The return of the father from
Australia and his evident faith that the shot
was accidental has done q good deal to shake
the belief that the boy intended to kin bis
mother. A good many now believe he pointed
the pistol at her to scare her into giving up the
money and that it was accidentally discharged.
| The accused is dark complexioned young
fellow of slight build with anything hut
a pleasant face He bears his trial manfully
only showing little nervousness when the at
torneys talk about the death penalty in ques-
tioning the jury. The case Will probably occupy
several days IN trial
