A SPOILER OF VIRGINS.
CAPTAIN vERNEYs PRELIMINARY
EXAMINATION.
Virtuous Girls the Object of His Lust.
A Heavy Bond Exacted.

LONDON, April 30.-The sensation of
the day, at the postponed examination
of Captain aVerney, member of parlia-
ment, charged with instigating the pro-
curation OF goyerness, Miss Brackett,
for immoral purposes, was caused by
the testimony of a woman named
Louise Adeline, the keeper Of hotel in
Paris, that Captain Verney had called
upon her on ssyen or eight different oc-
casions, and ssked her to procure for
him two or fhfee girls; he promising her
onN hundred francs il she succeeded.
Witness declared that in spite of the
captains solicitations and the induce
ments which he held forth, she refused
to accede to his request.
Madame Adeline was positive in her
Identification of Verney. When asked
by the magistrate if Captain Verney
said what he wanted The girls for, Ade-
line replied promptly, that he said he
wanted to seduce them, and that they
must be virtuous. This created great
sensation.
Many letters signed "Wilson," the
name which Captain Verney is charged
with assuming, were identified as being
in Captain Verney's handwriting. Hall,
porter of the club, testified, to the fact
that letters addressed f'Wilson" were
duly forwarded to Captain Verney.
Verney, when asked if he had any
thing to say in his own behalf, said he
would say nothing in this court He
was then held for trial in $4,000 bail.
This he secured.
Today's evidence had a weakening eff

Associated Press Dispatches
LONDON, April 30.--Dispatches from
many points on the continent indicate q
peaceful May-day, although the powers
are preparing for the worst. Questions
of workingmen's rights and grievances
are much more widely discussed than a
year ago, and have reached the most
secluded villages in France, Spain, Ger
many and Italy. The manifestos Of the
Socialists, everywhere, are revolutionary
in tone, fact which much worries
the authorities. Throughout civilized
Europe the proletariat mobilizes and
acts in touch with the American move
ment. This worldwide unison is partly
spontaneous and partly organized, and
imparts significance and gravity to to-
morrow's demonstration.
In Paris the Socialists will present q
petition for eight hours and other re-
quests to NJ. Floquet, if they can get
hearing. Some of the Socialist memori-
ais breathe bellicose sentiments, and
the Anarchists appeal to the troops to
assist them in revolt. One manifesto
proclaims that the time has come for the
Helots Of society to arise, seize dyna-
mite, destroy their oppressors, burn the
procedures, banks, palaces, prisons, etc.
The Anarchist organ, Pere Per-
nard, bluntly states tomorrow
plans, saying the Anarchists will
wait for chance row in
the streets, and if one occurs, they will
fight TO kill or die. The troops have
been heavily reinforced, the main streets
are being sanded tonight to enable the
cavalry to operate promptly The pro-
gramme is the same in all the cities OF
France.
Throughout Germany the proposed
manifestations create no disquiet. The
troops will be confined to the barracks,
and the police, generally, directed to
show liberation. In Hamburg broad
latitude will be given the workmen, who
will have q great procession.
In Vienna the workingmen propose to
march 100, 900 men to the prater, where
they will group themselves around the
speakers, and in. case of disosder dis
perse.
In Rome no uneasiness is manifested,
but in Naples semi-panic prevails,
owing to anarchists threats to blow up
public buildings with dynamite. An
arctlst menaces in Milan, Payia and
Turin have forced the government to
adopt severe measures OF repression.
In Belgium the workingmen will send
delegations to the chambers to demand
universal suffrage and eight hours.
Troops will be kept on duty all day.
In Madrid and other cities in Spain
and Portugal, the workmen will suspend
work, but no particular demonstration
is to be made. Troops are under arms
everywhere.
Monday has been selected for labor
demonstrations in Holland and Eng
land. 1t is expected that 12O, 900 per-
sons will take part in the demonstration
in Hyde Park, London.
Advices late tonight from Paris state
that seven thousand policemen and forty
thousand troops will be on duty in Paris
tomorrow. kilograms from the mining
districts report great agitations and
threats of general strike.

NOT THE CHAMPION.
SLUGGER SLAvIN MAKES HIS
DEBUT IN NEW YORK.
He Makes Good Impression on His Aud

Won ON Foul.

New YORK, April 30.-Frank P. Sla-
vim, the Australian champion pugilist,
made his debut at Madison Square to-
night, before an audience of four thous-
and. When Billy Madden introduced
him as champion of the world" cries
came from all over the house: "No, no /;
Sullivan is champion" Slavin gave
boxing exhibition with Jim
DAILY. of Philadolphia. In the first
part, the crowd was not greatly
impressed with his work, but in
the third round, when DAILY tried
to get in stiff punches, Slavin
woke up and knocked him down
with left hand smash ON the
breast. Tho bout was then stopped.
Slavin's movements, however, changed
the previous impression on the crowd
He exhibited much skill in bout later
with Charlie Mitchell, proving himself
able to make short-arm hits cleverly,
but no idea could be formed as to their
force.
Jack McAuliffe and Charlie Mitchell
also gave an exhibition, during which
Jack riled Charlie by severe punch in
the stomach. Mitchell let go stiff
left-hander for Macs jaw, but it missed,
and the crowd hissed the Engiishman.
NORFOLK, Va, April 30.-Jack Boland,
of Cincinnati, and Billy Young, OF this
city, fought this morning for $3.50 side.
The men weighed 127 and 1291a respect

had the best of the fight, but in that
round was thrown over the ropes and
kicked in tender spot by Young. The
fight was awarded to him ON a foul.
Young was severly punished.

PLEAsANTvILLE, N. j., April 30.-The
forest fires are assuming alarming pro-
portions, and have not been exceeded
in thirty years. Tonight the sky is IL
Illuminated for many miles. This morn
ing trees near Conoverton and Port Re-
public took fire from spark from loco
motive, and westerly gale famed the
flames so that by noon the whole forest
south of Pomona was blazing. A change
of wind saved Absecom from destruc-
tion, but the fire was diverted into the
midst of the most valuable young
timber in this section. By 2 p. m.
the flames had reached Conoverton,
and the citizens turned out to fight
them. Their efforts were useless, and
those living on the edge of the town re-
moved their effects to the open fields
and watched their houses burn. The
greatest excitement prevailed, and for a
time it was feared the whole town was
doomed. All the land in the direction
of the Shore road has been burned over.
Late this afternoon the wind went down
and assisted the efforts of hundreds of
men to get the fire under control. 1t
was hard work, as water was scarce. The
loss on timber alone will exceed 500, 900.
This evening fire broke out again west
OF Pleasantville, and at a late hour West
Pleasantville is surrounded by fire.
MELVILLE, n. j., April 30.--Bailey-

fires yesterday, has not yet been heard

fires to save the town. The damage to
the timber is enormous. One fire has
already burned over seven thousand
acres Fire started in the forest below
Williamstown Junction this morning.
Hundreds of acres of wood have been
destroy ed, but most of the farm houses
have been saved. Tonight fire is burn
ing furiously near Atco. Hundreds of
men are fighting it, and endeayoring to
save the buildings in its course. An.
other branch is sweeping through the
avenues in Chiselhurst. The residents
have been fighting fire all day,
and are fatigued and discouraged.
This, town and the surrounding
country are covered with black smoke.
Fire above the Crew road today de-
stroyed thousands of acres OF small
wood, and great stretch OF cedar
swamp.

PARIS, April 30.-In the senate, today,
Minister Ribot, replying to an interpret
lation, said France desires to respect the
independence of the republic of Hayti,
and cause it to be respected by others.
France had come to an entente with the
United States regarding the mole of St.
Nicholas, and the Washington cabinet
had withdrawn the United States squad
ron. An Interpolation, yesterday, by
Senator Isaac, expressed the fear that
the United States was endeavoring to
obtain control of the mole, and Isaac
said this would be prejudicia to the in
terests of European nations in the An
titles.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-There is good
authority for saying that the United
States has not had any negotiations
with France respecting the mole of St.
Nicholas. The squadron of evolution
was not sent to Port-Au-Prince with the
intention of creating naval demon
stration. An effort was made by the
representatives of this government to
secure the use of the mole of St. Mich
olas, by purchase or otherwise, but

successful conclusion. 1t will bind Ger
many and Austria in closer union,
and insure the permanence and greatly
increase the strength of the triple alli-
ance.
