A GERMAN SCANDAL.
Charges of Bribery in the Comforting of
Titles.

A case on something of parallel with
the late French decoration scandal has
just been concluded N Berlin. A PAM
phlet which recently appeared con-
tanned charge against Herr Manche,
the ex-chief Of the civil cabinet
of Emperor William l., that he was
accepting brides for his cervices
IN return for procuring titles. Soon aft :
er the pamphlet appeared a manufac-
turer named Thomas sued Herr Manche
for malversation of funds. Thomas de-
posed before the court to his paying
Aaron Meyer, an associate Of Manche's,
5000 marks to obtain for him the title
Of Commerzionrath councillor of COM
merce). Afterwards he personally con-
ided to Herr Manche 10000
marks to distribute in vari-
Gus charities. In defense, Herr
Manche puts in a general denial of
having received any part Of the 10000
marks, and that he had refunded 10000
marks which he had not paid over to
the charities. He had given the re-
mainder to police captain named
Grief, since deceased, for the Countess
Hacke, also deceased, lady in waiting
Of the Empress Augusta. He received
no voucher, as it was rather delicate
matter. There was also evidence going
to show that Herr Manche was in the
habit of taking payments of money
for his services in securing other
titles of this kind, and that Police Capt.
Grief and the Countess Hecke were his
accomplices in the nefarious business.
Another witness, Louis Cohen, deposed
that he had been the agent of former
minister of finance, who was dealing to
a large extent in the sale of different
titles and decorations. At the close Of
the trial Herr Manche was sentenced to
nine, and Aaron Meyer to four months
The astounding devel-
opments brought out in the trial have
created a sensation in Berlin society,"

is 1t the Malta Again?

G@leno Barregona, an Italian lugger
owner, was assassinated at New Orleans
on the night of the 10th. The affair
bears all the marks of the Malta.
There was a jolly game of cards
at an Italian saloon near the
French Market. A quarrel, a stampede,
and as the victim reached the door he
was riddled with bullets. The police
have arrested the proprietor of the
place, and several others, but there is
