PITTsBuRd, Pa March 3l.-The life
Of Mrs. Ed W. Hassler, a deserted wife
who has just left Pittsburg to accept an
inheritance of 500. 600. has been tull OF
strange vicissitudes.
A few years ago, while a student at the
seminary at Mount Uuion, o. the daugh-
ter OF Rev. Mr.. Bolton became enamored
Of one Hassler, a newspaper man. Miss
Bottoms family was one Of the wcalthicst
in New Paramount, W. Va, and her min
~isterial father irowned upon the proposed
match. But the young couple kept up
their courtehip until the graduation of
Miss Bolton. when they married and set
tied in Pittspurg.
All went well until last summer. when
Hassier was detailed to report the Hin
farm disastrr. and went to Dunbar for
that purpose. There he began to display
a very cratic character. instead of re-
turning to Pittshurg When his work was
done he e Ia Philadelphia and to New
York. and iiom that time On his wife
heard from him but seldom, and then
only in the 1ost discouraRing way.
AltdllN me- SutluE Ndul HldIluE utE III
the face, she knocked at the parental
doors. Her father was obdurate. and
the old home was closed to her. The ar
rival OF a baby had made Mrs. Hassler's
letters to her husband Tor money or his
return still more frequent, but without
favorable result, and she was forced to
look around her Tor work.
At last. IN Desperation, friends made a
plea to the poor board, who suggested the
Home for Destitute Women, until she al.
reared on the scene, when her handsome
aud refined appearance caused one OF the
ladies to bestir herself. and Mrs. Hassler
and her baby were taken in by DIR. Dag
gett, of Lawrcnceville, il whose house the
delicately nurtured, highly educated girl
became maid of all work.
Ovettures to the Rev. Mr.. Bolton
again proved futile. and he allowed his
daughter to be a household drudge up to
his death a couple OF weeks ago.
His demise was so sudden as to preclude
the making Of a will, and Mrs. Hassler
became heir to 500, 900. which she has
gone home to claim.
She will not send for her husband.
He was married once before, and left
his first wife. who fell into SIS. 900, which
she afterward shared with him until he
departed a second time.

DR.. Wilson, a former officer in the
navy, who served with Admiral Farra-
gut during the war, is in Washing
ton. DR.. Wilson found soon after the
war that he was troubled with con-
sumption. He sought medical advice,
and he was told that he couldnot at best
live more than six months if he should
remain in this country. DR.. Wilson,
who is today tall, broad shouldered, with
the rudy appearance of a man who has
never known a day of sickness, says that
he cured himself absolutely by what is
known as the out-of-door treatment.
He went first to the Cape of Good Hope
and wandered about through the south
of Africa. He engaged in agriculture
and hunting.
He spent a good many years in the
Transvaal. He would not live in a house
until hislungs became thoroughly healed.
He now owns the half of the Island Of
Johanna, one of the Camore group. 1t
is an island perhaps twenty-five miles in
circumference. He has a large sugar
plantation on this island, which is 800
feet above the sea level. The only other
white man on the island is an English
man, also q sugar planter. DIR. Wilson
is a bachelor. He has built up a com
Portable place for himself on this island.
The climate is perfect and his business
good. There is no place in the world so
enchanting to him as this island in the
south Atlantic. The climate is equable
and not subject to sudden changes. His
pleasure and recreation are found in
hunting in the Transvaal. - Chicago
Tribune.

An amusing story is told of an en-
counter which recently took place be
tween Mrs. George Bittlemorgan, of
Liberty, Va, and a burglar. Her hus-
band had been called away during the
evening and she was left in the house
alone with her two little children. Some
errand called her upstairs for a few min
utes, and while there she fancied she
heard a slight noise in the hall below,
but, it ceasing in a moment, nothing
more was thought of it. When she re-
turned to her sitting room, however, she
SOC noticed that the clock had stopped
running.
1t was an old fashioned eight day piece
nearly nine feet high and very massive.
Mrs. Bittlemorgan, thinking it had run
down and needed winding, started to-
ward it with the intention of getting it
going again, and had nearly reached it
when she saw a man about to dart out
of it. As he made the movement, how
ever, he brought the clock down on its
face and upon himself as well. In try
ing to get out of the way he tripPed and
fell over n rug.
Before he could scramble from under
its very considerable weight the quick
witted lady seated herself on the clock,
calling at the same time to the children
to run out of the house and scream for
help. This speedily came, and the man,
who confessed to having secreted himself
in the clock for the purpose of burglar
izing the house, was carried to Jail, and
Mrs. Bittlemorgan much complimented
on her bravery and presence of mind

SRLA, March 3l.-Further particulars
have been received from Manipur, whose
deposition bv a powerful chieitain Of
Assam, was the cause OF all the pres
ent trouble. The insurgents also
captured Chief Commissioner Quintou,
Mr.. Grimwood, British political agent at
Mauipur, and Col. Skeue, commander OF
the detachments from the AID and 44th
Ghoorkhas, which defended the camp Of
the commissioner pitched between Kohima
and ManiDur. Mrs. Grimwood, wife of
the political agent, two assistant commits
siouers and one of the officers of the
Ghoorkas escaped. The opinion is that
the military authorities will have to punish
the insurgent tribes severely and promptly
in order to avert a more serious revolt
which might follow any hesItancy or dis
play OF weakness upon the part Of
British officials.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-Waltsr Con.
dit WhittinGham isn't a tall man, but he
has arms and legs as thick as piano legs.
His chest Is as solid as a safe door.
Yesterday, with Laurent Oppenheim,
he was elected a member Of the stock ex-
change. He thought he might as well
have the initiation over at once, and after
registering his autograph in Secretary
Ely's office he jammcd his hat down over
his ears and went down stairs to face the
music.
He is of the firm OF II. Duncan Wood
& Co. and is well known to a certain con-
tingent in Wall street. This contingent
greeted him respectfully when he FIRST en-
tered the board room. Then they became
familiar, aud clustering around HIM, es-
sayed to maui him. Nottingham
brushed the stoutest and biggest OF his
tormentors away like flies.
They got hello, aud with a bowling
thrOng of fifty or more brokers. renewed
their attack. Nottingham merely rolled
up his sleeves, and pulling his hat down
over his ears. he lowered his head and.
swinging his arms, went at them like a
combination OF fail and locomotive.
They scattered before him and he
drubbed aud battered them.
They did not give uD the fight, but got
more help. Nottingham stood at bay
awaiting the onslaught. They attempted
to rush over him. and he never quIvered
at the combined attack. He shot out his
great arms aud floOred the most venture
some OF his assailants. Smiling all the
while and v~igilant in watching all avenues
of attack. he was boss of the show. Thev
gave up the fight and shook hands.
But won't Oppenheim suffer for this
when he shows up" was the combined
declaration of the defeated. Oppenheim
is a little chap, and will be thrown around
like a feather buster for satisfaction. Whit
ungham is the first man to wallop the
brigade of professional hazers on the

Mccarthy Is Badly Mauled All the
Way Through.
Dix7n Floors His Man in the
Twenty Second Round.

Troy, n. Y, March 3l.-The great
glove contest between Gal Mccarthy OF
Jersey City and Geo. Dixon of Boston
came off tonight. and the colored Boston
lad is the victor. Crowds came from all
directions aud the rink was packed to its
utmost capacity. Prominent sporting
men from all over the country we're in the
audience. Betting was free. but the
odds we're all on Dixon. This is prob
ably accounted for by the fact that a ru-
NOR prevailed all day that Mccarthy had
been drinking and was not taking proper
care OF himself. The fight was for the
featherweight championship aud 81, 900.
Side bets were plentiful and great excite
$25, 900 must have changed hands on the
result. Dixon was seconded by Tom
O'Rourke and Il. Hodgkins. McCarthy's
seconds we're Jack McAuliffe and Billy
Madden. Jere Dunn was referee. The
scales were set at lis pounds. Neither
man tpped the beam at that mark, and
they jumped off so that none of those
present could ascertain their exact weight.
Sheriff Tappan was served with an in
junction tonight restraining him from in
terfering with the fight. Both men were
apparently in prime condition when they
entered the ring.
In the first round the men spared eau
tiously and exchanged blows evenly.
In the second, Mccarthy was too eager,
and throwing himself open to Dixon's
swings was iOored twice IN quick order.

time.
In the third. Mccarthy again tried in-
fighting and got the worst of it, but in
the fourth he was cautious and had the
best of the round.
In the filth. Dixon forced the fighting
and punished Mccarthy severely, getting
one clean knock down.
In the next three rounds there was
hard fighting, with honors about even.
10 the ninth, Mccarthy was punished
hard at long range and Dixon landed
heavily on his nose, making it bleed
freely.
10 the next round. both tried long
range tactics, with no particular damage.
In the eleventh. there was hard fight
ing and Mccarthy cut a deep cash under
Dixon's right eye with a left handed
swing upper cut
10 the twelfth, Dixon forced matters,
and Mccarthy, who was bleeding freely,
chung to his neck to avoid punishment
In the next two rounds. Mccarthy was
very cautious, but in the fifteenth rushed
and got in three left hand upp er cuts,
which split Dixen's lip aud looseued his
teeth.
For the next five rounds, although
there was some sharp fighting, little dam
age was done. but in the twenty first
Dixon forced matters and drove Mccarthy
all over the ring. knocking him down.
In the twentY-second. Dixon knocked
Mccarthy down as fast as he got up until
he was completely exhausted. AT the
end OF the round the referee declared
Dixon the winner. Six ounce gloves

CLARKsBURG, W. Va, March 81
The Rev. Abuer Vernon, who has been
arrested at P%hillippi, has an extraordinary
history. His boyhood was passed in
Wilsonbury. His parents were highly
respected and his seven brothers grew up
to be industrious, steady men. Abner
married here and lived contcutedly with
his wife for some years. suddenly he
developed a mania for breaking up fami-
lies and it is said that it was not un-
common for him to be concerned IN two
Opponents in one year.
He applied at one time to the authorl-
ties OF the Baptist church for license to
preach, and being rejected preached as an
Independent minister. Afterwards he OBJ
tanned an appointment as a priest OF the
Latter Day Saints, and Travelled through
Ohio and the Nlrginias, being eminently
successful, it is said, IN making converts
to their faith. When the Salvation Army
came here he joined it, and was appointed
an officer. fnallY clipping with another
officer, a married woman named Pam

He always carried a large quantity Of
paper money which was not current, some
times having thousands of dollars Of con-
iederate money and at other times unre
deemed bills OF deiunct state and private
banks
When be was IN particularly straitened
circumstance he would get work at coal
mining and earu enough to dress himself
up 10 good style, wherein on he would
soon succeed in inducing some susceptible
married woman t. help herself 10 what
ever little savings she and her husband
mad accumulated aud elope with hun. In
many cases the NJ left families of
small children. His last ~escapade, as far
AS known mere, was an clopement with
the wife Of IL hard working miner named
John Eschol tour or five months ago.
This was a particular sad case, a. the
woman, who is weak minded. disposed OF
nearly everything she had and left her
husband and children in a leplorable
situation. Vernon and the woman we're
traced to Pittsburg, where track of them
was lost, and nothing had been heard of
him from that time until he was arrested
in Phillippi.
He entered upon the career Of q private
detective, but he was unsuccessful. As the
police here put a stop to his operations as
soon as he received his appointment,
Vernon is a man of fair appearance.
forty years OF age, dresses neatly, is a
good talker and a mau of considerable
ability. 1t Is said that this is the first
time he has been arrested.
