4 VIRGINIA GIRL.
How an Ex-Conyict Got Into the Graces
of Colonel MOsbys Daughter.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August l9.-The de-
tails have just leaked out Of an affair
here which is connected with the names
of several prominent people, and which
nearly resulted in q tragedy. Count Nit
HEWITT who became very widely known
through his connection with the Wharton
Barker Chinese international Bank
scheme, resides in this city with his
wife. Six months ago a man named
Miller came to Washington, bringing
letters of introduction to Count Mitkie-
WITT from Pi:tsburg capitalists, and the
two became fast friends. At the Count s
house Miller met Miss Virginia Stuart
Mosby, daughter of Colonel Mostly, the
Confederate cavalry leader who has been
a lifelong friend of Countess Mitkiewitz.
ENGAGED TO MISS MosEY.
Miller and Miss Mosby became engaged
and the day was set for the wedding.
But Beverly c. Mosby of Warrenton, Va,
her brother, succeeded in having the
date postponed until lie could investigate
Miller's anteccdents. He went to Pitts
burg for this purpose, and there he soon
learned that Miller had served six years
in the Riverside, Pa, pententiary tor be-
ing implicated in Il robbery at Brady's
Bend, Pa. 1t was also reported that he
had three wives living.
MILLER ScOUNDREL.
Paving no attention to the statements
that Miller had reformed and occupied Il
good position in business, young Mosbv
telccraphed his sister as follows:
"Millcr is noted crook, bigamist and
scoundrel'
Mosbv then returned to Washington,
where he met Miller and his sister walk
ing together, and struck him in the face.
Miller then fed, and Mosby, after taking
counsel with his friends, went to Miller's
room TO chastisc him. But Miller had
left The city. Coming from Miller's place
of residence they met Count and Countess
Mitkiewitz entering their house.
THE COUNT DENOUNCED
He went in with them and furiously up
braided the Count for encouraging the in
timacv between his sister and Miller. Hot
words passed, and Mosby, stepping back,
fired revolver point blank at the Counts
breast. His aim was poor and the bullet
lodged in the wall. The Counts brother
in-law prevented Mosby from firing again,
The matter has been settled by an apology
from young Mosby. Count and Countess
Mitkiewitz have left the city for the sum-
mcr. Miss Mosby is still true TO Miller.

Pat Powers. of this city. will probably
manage the New York team next season.
The club officials have been dissatisfied
with Mutrie for a long time, and have de-
cided that he must go despite the efforts
of John b. Day to hold him. Powers is
a competent man, they could not have
chosen a better one. He gave to this city
tho best team that has ever played here,
ana has successfully managed the Trenton
Rochester and Buffalo clubs. He will not
sign unless he has absolute control of the
team, and has refused several excellent
offers because he would be in
terrered with. He is a rigid
disciplinarian. as he knows the
weakness of professional players, but yet
is popular with the players aud they
always do their utmost to win. His sue
cess as a nag is the best evidence of
his ability.
