TO SAVE THE WIFE,
DR.. Legare Of Charleston, S. c., Charged
With Being Insane

The medical. fraternity in Charleston, 8. c.,
is highly agitated over a sensation which in
wolves two of the faculty, and which has re-
suited in the commital Of one Of them to Jail
under commission of lunacy. All Of the
parties are of the highest social standing.
1t appears that DIR. J. S. Legare married q
young lady from Orangeburg S. C. 1t is said
that the young couple did not get along well
together and that finally the wife left her hus-
band. after having been badly treated. She
sought shelter in the home Of DR.. W. A. An
crum, with whose wife she was intimate, and
resisted the efforts of her husband to get her
to return home. On Wednesday Legare armed
himself with revolver and went to Ancrur's
house. Ancrum was going to the door to see
who had called, when his wife, who had been
looking out of the window, shouted to him to
stay indoors.
Later in the day Legare was arrested and
yesterday commission de lunatico was sworn
out against him. His friends want to serd him
to an asylum. The affair has created consider
able talk, owing to the prominence of the par
ties. There is no divorce law in South Caro-
lima, and hence the injured wife is powerless to
protect herself

The Malta at Home.

From the Providence journal.
An incident, Ger tain to have its effect on
italian sentiment toward the New Orleans
lynching tragedy, is reported from the Tyrol,
where Malta assassination has taken place A
member OF the Italian Malta, according to the
police investigation, mistook a Kufstein mer-
chant for compatrio. against whom the secret
tribunal had declared and plunged stiletto
into him. only to discover mis- mistake after his
victim was dead. 1t is said, and with every
probability of truth, that the affair has created
considerable excitement and that there is a
growing indignation against the secret societies
Of the peninsula.
Italian sympathy with the victims of lynch
ing thousands Of miles away is easily aroused
but the case assumes a different aspect when
assassination takes place near at home. We
have been told time and again that the Malta
does not exist in Italy and that all reports to
the contrary are the work of sensationalists at
the best, but if the story reported from the
Tyrol is true the Italian government will do
well to hunt out the order speedily. 1t cannot
with good grace hide Malta organization
within its own borders and protest very vigor-
ously against such affairs as the recent deplora.
BILE lynching in New Orleans.

The Aston House Mystery.

The coroner's jury in the Aston House New
York; suicide case has brought in the following
verdict:
I'VE find that the deceased. who committed
suicide ct the Aston House on February 8, 1891,
in the night time, was one William Wright.
And we further take occasion to incorporate in
our verdict that the deceased was not George
ing. We cannot let the opportunity pass without
calling the attention Of the proper authorities
to the bold and audacious attempt on the part
of Perrin H. Sumner to corruptly foist on us by
fake evidence and identification Of an alleged
Edgar. thus hindering and perverting the cause
of JUSTICE

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
While Italy is in the recalling business it
might send for all the members of the Malta
Society now luxuriating under the stars and
stripes. We have no use for them whatever
We are always ready to welcome respectable
foreigners like Baron Fava. and if the King will
send some more like him over here they will
have no reason to complain of American hos
pitality. But really the murderers and assas-
sins will be much better off in their own coun-
try and in less danger of coming to an untimely
end at the hands Of outraged citizens. Recall
the Malta by all means. The King Of Italy can
do the United States no better service. But il
he insists upon allowing them to remain he
must take the chances OF good behavior on
their part and abide by the results.

BASE BALL NEWS.
The Two Boston Clubs Open the Season in
That City.

That City.
The base ball season opened yesterday after
noon in Boston and no less than 1857 people
turned out to witness the ceremony. About
5000 persons saw the league team play the
Brooklyns. The latter could do nothing with
the stick, making only 8 hits. Boston made
hits and only 2 errors and won by IS too.
Mike Kelly's Cincinnati team met the Boston
association nine and were well beaten by to s..
The attendance was 1912. Kelly was warmly
greeted. He was suffering with the grip, but
could not be restrained from playing, although
ordered not to do so. Errors were plentiful on
account Of the extreme cold. The Bostons evil
IDENTITY have not donned their batting toys. The
Cincinnatis didn't do much better as team, but
Caravan. their short-stop, did most Of the stick
work, being credited with q single, a double and
a home run.
The Pittsburg and Cleveland teams played at
st. Augustine, Fla, yesterday before an audi
ence OF 600 persons. The game was fairly we'll
contested, but at critical times the players
showed their want of practice. While the Pitts
burgs outbatted their opponents, their hits
were scattered and their errors punched. On
three different occasions they had chances of
winning the game, but we're unequal to the
occasion. Staley and Viau pitched Ave innings
and Calvin and Young the other four. Score:
Cleveland, 8: Pittsburg 6.
ton staff of umpires is VIM. Gleason, famous as
"Brudder Bill" of the old st. Louis Browns and
well known as a member of last seasons Wash
ington nine. He had an audience with Presi-
dent Kramer yesterday and the rules Of 1891
were interpreted for his benefit. Gleason will
make his debut as an umpire at st. Louis next
Wednesday.
Manager Sharsig Of the Athletics says that all
the letters and kilograms from Griffin he saw
indicated that the center fielder intended to
play in Philadelphia. He was greatly surprised
to hear of Griffin's jumping to Brooklyn.
Barnie brought his team up from Baltimore
yesterday and was sorely disappointed because
he could not play. Baltimore is a heavy hitting
team this year and will doubtless render good
account Of itself.-Philddelphia Press.
About 5000 persons attended the game be-
tween the New York and Holyoke teams at Hol-
yoke yesterday. The visitors batted very hard
and won the game easily by score of 10 to 3.
vi don't see any prospect of restoring the old
relations of the League and Association" said
Manager Barnie yesterday. THE two organi-
cations may make an agreement to respect each
others contracts, but no more. In future there
will always be competition for the services OF
valuable players and we can easily take care OF
ourselves"

THE ITALIAN PRESS.
They Treat the Fava Incident With the
Greatest Moderation.

Iney Treat the Fove Incident with the
Greatest Moderation.
The newspapers in Rome Yesterday gave
more importance to the Fava affair, but on the
whole they treated the matter with the greatest
moderation. They commend the italian gov
ernment's action, Is does also the public. 1t is
felt in Rome that Mr.. Blaine's action has been di-
rected toward the avoidance Of dangerous COM
plications for the federal administration. and
therefore that the withdrawal of Baron Fava
was inevitable. Minister Porter continues to
display the greatest activity, holding constant
interviews with the Marquis di Rudini.
The Diretto says the question between the
United States and Italy, when calmly examined.
in no wise justifes the alarmist statements that
have been made in regard to the matter. I've
are convinced, the paper continues, that men
like President Harrison and Secretary Blaine
will recognize the justice. equity and modera-
government by Italy. We have no fear but that
the whole difficulty will be satisfactorily settled
by arbitration
The Itatie says that nobody seriously attends
to the prejudicial exception that the United
States government tries to make out Of the ju-
dicial independence Of the state of Louisiana
The federation alone treats with foreign pow
ers and cannot decline the responsibility for
the lynching of the subjects Of Italy. All the
powers are concerned to know whether their
subjects place themselves outside OF the pro-
lection Of the law by living in the United
States.
The Esercito Fdliano q military newspaper)
thinks that no grave complications wilt arise
between Italy and the United States over the
lynching Of italian subjects in New Orleans,
and that practical solution Of the whole diff
ficulty is certain, which will be satisfactory
both to Italy and the cause of civilization.
The Opini0ne says that Secretary Blaine g
note to Minister Fava leaves room for favorable
settlement of the controversy between the two
countries within the limits of Baron Fava Q
proposal.

IT WILL WAKE UP CONGRESS.
What Secretary Proctor Thinks Of the Pres
ent War Furry.

What Secretary Proctor Thinks Of the Pres
ent War Furry.
Secretary Of warProctor and party arrived at
San Diego last evening and went at once to
Coronado. This morning the party visited
North Island and Point Iona, and in the after
noon they will be given q public reception at
rooms Of the Chamber Of Commerce. The secre-
tary will then leave for San Francisco and will
extend his trip to Portland, Ore, unless he is
called to Washington on his arrival in San
Francisco. Secretary Proctor said that he did
not think the present war furry would result
in anything serious with Italy. He did think.
though, that the effect Of it would be to wake
up Congress to the necessity Of better coast de-
lenses and a larger navy. Gums Of not less
than eight-inch caliber are required and from
that up to twelve.
In speaking of armament. Secretary Proctor
said: Il consider the 17-inch guns carried by
the large italian war ships as somewhat Of an
but without reference to their use on board
ship they are short lived. After the guns
reach a certain size, the increase Of internal
surface Is very great and the immense explosive
power is more likely to injure or break them.
l think the most serviceable Of the large guns
are the .. 10 and Pinch. In addition to the
new gun factory, the last Congress made an
appropriation of a, 600, 900 for the purchase Of
large guns manufactured by private concerns.
That will furnish us with one hundred large
pieces. New York is not without considerable
degree of protection. as we have quite an eff
hcient torpedo service. With the advent of the
heavily armored ships Of late years great i'm
provements have been made in mortar service.
1t is surprising with what accuracy mortars
can be fired to great height and shots drop
ped straight down at the object aimed at The
latest method of handling them is to plant ten
mortars in squares, and after gauging carefully
the location of a target fire together all ten of
the mortars at the came instant and it is re-
markable how many Of the shots will drop
on spot no larger than the deck of a ship,
which cannot be armored like the side on account
OF great weight One of these mortar shots
Will drop through any ship ahoat and sink it. !"
GEN. BArcHELDER's VIEWS
Gen. r. NJ. Batchelaer. quartermaster gen.
eral of the United States. who is with Secretary
Proctor, in talking about the present situation
of relations between this and the Italian gov
eminent, said They talk about our govern
ment being unable to protect Italian citizens
when for years American citizens and citi-
zens Of other countries have frequently been
taken prisoners by the banditti of Italy and
held for ransom and frequently maltreated,
and yet our government has never taken any
serious action in the matter. The only fault
with our government is that we have been too
good natured with them"
