GEAR NICHOLAS ESCAPE.
Clever Use OF Ills Masquerade Dress
Saves the Emperor's Life.

Clever Use OF Ills Masquerade Dress
Saves the Emperor's Life.
From the Neto York Home Journal.
Nicholas /. was very fond Of masquerade
balls, and one night appeared at one in the
character of the devil. with grinning face,
horns and tail, and appeared to enjoy the
character very much.
About 3 o'clock in the morning he went
out, and throwing over him some furs,
called a coachman and ordered him to take
him to the QuaI Anglais. As it was very
cold, he fell asleep, and when he awoke he
found the man had taken him in the wrong
direction, for the Qnai Anglais is one Of the
most elegant portions of st. Petersburg,
while before him we're only some miserable
houses.
Nicholas began to demonstrate, but the
coachman paid no heed to him, and pres
emily, passing through a stone gateway,
brought him into a cemetery, and taking q
large knife from his girdle, said:
Give me your money and your furs or 1
will kill you"
And do you give me your soulr" ex-
claimed Nicholas as he threw off the furs,
and disclosed his personifcation of the
devil.
The Russians are very superstitious, and
the coachman was so terrified he fell sense
less on the ground, and the emperor drove
himself back to his palace.

CARTER HARRISON GOES FOR
CREIGER AND PALMER.

The Ex-Mayor Wrote to Creiger sug-
costing That hey Both Retire From
the Race in Favor OF a Neutral Can
didate-Earrison Wirhdraws His Of
fer on Learning That Palmer Was
Coming.
CHICAGO, ILL, March 24.-Carter Har-
rison tonight made his first appearance in
public since receiving the formal nominal
ton for tina meyoralty. 1t was at Central
Music hall and the place was crowded with
his adherents. The meeting proved TO be
one that Is likely to be memorable in
Illinois politics and indirectly in national
affairs also. MIR. Harrison savagely de-
nounced his fellow democrat and opposing
candidate, Mayor Creiger, declaring that
the latter, and not himself, was standing in
the way Of party harmony. The speaker
declared that he mad this morning written
to Mayor Creiger proposing that both with
draw and a neutral candidate be selected.
HARRISON REcoNsIDERs.
In q morning paper, however, he had read
that United States Senator-elect Palmer
was coming to Chicago to assist in Mayor
Creiger's reelection. Under such circum-
stances, the speaker said, the offer to with
draw might be regarded as weakening, and
he instantly resolved by the eternal to
stay IN the fight to the end" People re-
sented federal meddling in local
concerns, and John NJ Palmer, now
panopied as a United States senator,
had no right to come to Chicago to inter-
fere between two sections of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Harrison, in conclusion, en-
phatically denied intriguing in his own
interest against Senator Palmer's selection
as senat r, and declared that he had given
Senator Palmer undertaking support.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The following resolutions, proposed by ex-
Congressman Frank Lawler, were adopted /:
WHEREAS IL is alleged that United States
Senator-eect John NJ. Palmer is TO be induced
TO come 70 Chicago to support Mr. Creiger in
his candidacy for mayor the alleged repre-
sentative of the democracy
ReSotUed, By the Chicago Personal Rights
League, to the number Of 1000 in mass meeting
assembled, and 20 600 other members in Chi
cago, that Gen, Palmer be requested to not in
terfere with home rule in Chicago as represent
ing no faction, but the whole people of I'LL
nols.
Resolued. That these resolutions be tele-
graphed to Gen. Palmer.
PALMER DECLINES TO TALK.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, March Ex-senator
Palmer was seen tonight by an Associated
Press representative within fifteen minutes
after the adoption of the resolution directed
to him and advised of the action of the
Harrison meeting in Chicago, requesting
him TO stay away from that city and not sin
terfere with home rule.n Being asked what
reply he had TO make to the resolution.
Senator Palmer replied: AT present /
have no answer to make to such a resolu-
ton. presume that copy of the resolu-
ton will be sent me by wire or mail After
have received an official communication
announcing the passage of such a resolution
will send my reply to the parties sending

NORTH GEORGIA'S STRIKE
MERCHANTS ALONG THE LINE UN-
abs To GET THEIR GOODS.

The Engineer of a Switch Engine on
the western and Atlantic Threat
ened With Arrest by Receiver
Glover-He R fused to Move Marietta
and North Georgia hosd Freight.
ATLANTA, GA, March 24-The strike on
the Marietta and North Georgia railroad IS
bringing about an unusual state Of affairs
Yesterday Engineer Mcintyre, who has
charge Of switch engine for the Western
and Atlantic railroad at Marietta, was or
dered TO remove some freight from the yard
of the Marietta and North Georgia road by
the receiver of the road. He refused TO
comply with the request, and then acting
on what they claimed to be the decision OF
Judge Newman, the Marietta and North
Georgia officials took steps to put Mcintyre
under arrest. Rather than go to prison, be
left his engine and resigned his position.
Mcintyre is ming to Atlanta to talk the
matter oyer with the officers of the West
ern and Atlantic.
MATTERS IN BAD sAHPE.
In speaking Of the condition Of things on
the road, f. C. Tate of Jasper
said to-day: MATTERS are getting in

suants are unable toget their goods from
Atlanta, and it is eported that Marietta has
been boycotted for the reason thai mer-
chants along the line of the road had been
having their goods shipped to merchants in
Marietta and railroaded there on the Mari
eta and North Georgia. II this IS true,
and the merchants on the Marietta and
North Georgia can't get goods and fertll-
izers from this end of the road they viii be
forced togive the business now coming to
Atlanta to Knoxville.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
"All this Is brought about on account Of a
difference between Receiver Glover and
the employment of three engineers on the
Marietta and North Georgia road. The
people do not care who is right about it, but
want this thing adjusted. believe if Judge
Newman understood the situation of things
along the line Of the road he would order
the receiver, who is but an officer of the
court, to take back the men, at least for the
present. 1t is certainly not right that the
merchants. farmers and manufa lecturers
along the line of this road should be madeto
suffer by the reason Of this difference be-
tween the engineers and the receiver

o,MALLEY.s BRIBERY woRK.
The Grand Jury Investigating tho
Methods Of the Eeiense.

The Grand Jury Investigating thse
Methods Of the Leionse.
NEW ORLEANS, March 24-The grand
| jury held another session to-day. From
witnesses it is evident that the body is
getting into the bribery business. In fact.
persons in authority say with an air Of
mystery that there viii be some sensational
developments before the end Of the week.
The sensation will doubtless be the
indictment Of a prominent party not men,
tiored heretofore in connection with the
unsavory portion of the case. Detective
O'Malley was indicted to-day for being an
accessory before the fact and for attempt
ing to oribe jurors. McChristal, his ac-
compiice, has tod his masters part in the
transaction in which the prisoner figured.
The prisoner has told secrets of O'Malleys
Office.
O'MALLEY sHADoWED.
Another city detective kept constant
watch on O'Malley's Office and reported who
entered. and O'Malley's doings have evil
IDENTIFY been well Swallowed. Many Of the
witnesses of the last few days have been
surprised TO find themselves called, aud pro-
tested thaE they knew nothing until they
got into the Jury room. The system Of
espionage extended to the witnesses for the
state. Some Of them were threatened and
the state also learned of efforts to spirit
some away. The state had the advantage
of knowing the relative i'm portance of its
witnesses while the defense merely guessed
at their knowledge. The defense therefore
wasted considerable tine on witnesses
the state could well afford to spare,
while the witnesses really wanted
were well cared for Anyhow the methods
Of the defense were we'll known ard
thwarted at many steps, although the skill
OF % MalleV and his henchmen proved emf
nently successful as far as the jurors we're
concerned.
AN INTERESTING RECORD.
The state is now obtaining full knowl-
edge as to the latter as well, and the grand
jury will create an interesting record be-
fore it finishes its work on the Hennessy
case. O'Malley has not yet been brought
back, although capias has been
issued and it is likely that he
will not really lie sought for
until the grand jury is through with the in
vestigation. A private letter was received
to-day from Tim Allingham. the gentleman
who impersonated O'Malley to the Memphis
reporters. He is grocer across the river,
and fell heir to a few thousand dollars,
which he went north TO spend with
his relatives. He was in Memphis en-
route to Arkansas with a lady cousin
and her child when several parties VINO
had seen him in New Orleans converting
with O'Malley. recognized him as the lat
ter. He denied the Identification, but they
insisted, and he took up the joke and car
ried it through. There have been no new
threats within the last few days, although
Mayor Shakespeare's wife is said to have
been stopped on the street by several Ital-
iAns and threatened with the destruction of
her home and family.
