The eAOCARAT CASE.
Sir Charles Russell Resumes His Argu-
ment This Morning.

Sir Charles Russell Resumes His Argu-
ment This Morning.
LONDON, June, S.-The baccarat trial
continues to excite the greatest interest,
and it is said that even yesterday the
Chief Justice received several applica.
tions for seats in the court room to-day.
The applicants included, it is stated, an
official of the admiralty who had a mar
row escape recently from himself becom-
ing the hero of court sensation.
The report that the Prince of Wales is
In debt to Arthur Wilson is denied on
semi-otficial authority, and Sunday
newspaper which had given out an in
tention Of publishing something about
the matter received a plain intimation
that proceedings would follow.
Sir Charles Russell resumed his ad-
dress to the jury this morning, aud,
judging from the scope of his remarks, it
is probable that he will take up CON
siderable portion of the sitting of the
Court to-day. Sir Edward Clarke is to
follow with the closing speech for the
prosecution, and is not likely to fall be-
hind Sir Charles in the length of his
speech; as the evidence being rather
against him he will have to depend
largely on his forensic powers to restore
the case of his client. If he gets chance
to open after the recess he will be for
tunate. and will no doubt take up a large
part of tomorrow. Then comes the
summing up by the Lord Chief Justice,
TO which all look with the greatest inter-
est, especially that part which is to treat
of the Prince of Wales.
The case cannot be given to the jury
before tomorrow evening. How long it
will take for the jury to come to a de-
cision it is impossible to tell. While 10
is a remarkably sympathetic body, and
has followed the case with closest atten-
tion, it has shown no inclination of in
clining to either side. Much will depend
on Lord Coleridge's charge, which can
not fail to have great influence with the
jury. Should he be able to clear up in
advance their doubts, differences and he's
itations, an early verdict is to be ex-
Dected

ROME, N. Y, June s.-The inquest
touching the death of John Sorgenfrie
who was found dead in bed at his resi-
dence on Laura street, Utica, resulted in
the coroner's jury finding that Sorgen-
frie came to his death from paris green,
and that from the conflicting testimony

line
1t was first thought that Sorgenfrie had
committed suicide, as he was found in
his bed with a dipper on tho floor con
tanning traces of paris green. From the
strange actions of Mrs. Sorgenfrie the
coroner suspected something more than
suicide.
By investigating the case he found that
not only were the circumstances of Sor-
genfrie's death peculiar, but that the
woman had had four husbands, two of
them dying by poison. Sorgenfrie had
eaten hearty supper the night before,
and his wife testified that he did not eat
anything. Traces of paris green we re
found in the food he had eaten. It was
found he had a quarrel with his wife the
night before. She testified that he
threatened to kill her, and that she would
not sleep with him, though she knew
nothing Of his death, only that she found
him dead in the morning.
The Coroner found that week or two
before his death his wife found him with
a notorious woman by the name of Mary
Fox, who threatened to keep Sorgenfrie
with her This woman swore to this at
the inquest.
Mrs. Sorgenfrie was very jealous over
this woman. Sorgenfrie had property
worth about $4,000. She married him
with the intention of getting this prop
erty. These circumstances, combined
with the fact that two other husbands of
the woman died in the same house by the
same means, point suspiciously to foul
play. Mrs Sorgenfrie is confined in the

John Bnrns Arrested.

LONDON, June 9.-The London omnibus
strike was attended by some excitement.
Burns, the Socialist, occupied a bus
driven by a novice without a badge, as is
required by law. Two constables re-
moved Burns from the bus and took him
to Bow street, while the crowd cheered
him Upon being released he hastened
to address a meeting at Westminster.
Piratical bus drivers collected sixpence
for any distance and the underground
railways carried enormous numbers of
people. Public sympathy is with the
strikers on the question Of hours.

Philadelphia Detectives Think They Have
Glow to Bardsiey's Transaotions.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.--The detectives
in the employ of the city have at last
secured what they think will prove
cew to the mystery surrounding the
transactions between Bordsley and the
Keystone Bank. After two weeks Of dill
gent search they have secured large
number of checks fsom Mr. Magill,
Bardsloy's assignee. These checks were
drawn against the Ave banks in which
the city's money was deposited, and the
authorities think that by carefully going
over these checks they can tell where the
missing million has gone.
Bardsley's business plans were very pc
culiar His custom was to place the
city's cash in the five banks designated
by ordinance, and then gradually draw 10
out aud make the checks payable to tho
keystone Bank Through the whole of
his term Bardsley's transactions always
seemed to bo mixed up with the rotten

thing now hinges on these checks, and II
they bear the name of any private per-
son trouble may be expected. 1t is said
/ that If any of the checks were issued TO
or drawn by any other persons than those

$4,000, which had been mailed from two
banks here, was destroyed. One pack

FUSSING OVER TRIPLES.
The Two Venerable ClerRymen who
Quarrsled at Chess.

Th0 Two Venerable CIergymen Who
Quarroled at Chess.
The late Bishop Pinkney, that amiable
Episcopal churchman who was known pret-
ty well over the country, was a most de
voted and enthusiastic chess-player, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph. He would sit
up all night at the game If not interrupted.
His reputation for charity and amiability
is well known in church circles. He was
regarded as the most amiable OF men whose
profession is meelKness. But there was one
man. a minister OF his own church, with
whom ne could not play chess without quar-
reltnR Yet this man was one Of the best
chess players IN ms diocese, ana the rivalry
between them was constantly bringing
them face TO face across the board. One
night there was an assemblage OF Episcopal
clergy Mt the Bishops house. Awed by the
presence of the Bishop, the younger men
were on their best behavior, and the even
ing was passing off as monotonously as the
most orthodox could desire. Some one pro
posed chess, In a few minutes they were
paired of, the Bishop being pitted against
his chief rival. However enthusiastic the
rest OF the company may have got, they were
mild and polite in their disputatons out Of
respect for the Bishop.
Presently In one corner Of the room was
heard the Bishops voice:
"You touched it, sir; you must movew
But did not" replied his opponent.
"You did" insisted the Bishop.
~ say did notw =,
~ say you didW
II must emphatically deny it, SIR"
At each contradiction the voices grew
louder. The men were glaring at each
other across the squares, and the Bishops
face was red with anger,
"If, sir, that is the way you play, sir, l
am doneW he cried, and the chessmeu
ratified on the floor His ecclesiastic oppo-
nent gathered them up and put them in the
fire, For few minutes they glared at
each other, and the clergy assembled looked
on in horror Suddenly the absurdity Of
the situation struck them both The Bishop
burst out laughing at the childishuess Of
their quarrel, and their hands came to
gether
