Il wired President Young on the matter to-
day, anG he replied that the money is now on
its way to Cincinnati. 1t will be there to-mor-

claims they can now prove them so that John

The Mime sofa Legislature Adjourns With
out Passing the Bill.
ST. PAUL. April 20.-The Legislature
adjourned to-day sine die without having
passed any of the radical bills which had
so aroused the fears OF the business COM
munity, and caused so much and so unfavor-
able comment throughout the country. The
bills for the taxation of mortgages, provid-
ing severe penalties for usury, and lowering
the rate OF interest, hostile railroad legisla-
ton, and all the measures aimed at corpora
tions of all sorts-in fact. about all the semi
communistic and agrarian measures-died in
one or the other House, and there is an ex-
preston of relief from the State that the
danger is past.
S. T. rs, a bill introduced by Senator
Hompe and passed by the Senate, providing
that any person may build elevators on the
right of way of railroads, one of these radi-
cal bills, came the nearest to being law of
any of them. 1t had passed the Senate end
late Saturday nightit came up for passage
IN the House 1t received So votes, just
enough for passage. Its opponents, how
ever, did not then give up the fight, but
when the Journal was read this morning
they found that three members were recorded
as voting in the affirmative who had not
succeeded in having the journal corrected
and approved as corrected, and the bill was
killed. The only railroad bills passed were
such as were acceptable to the railroads, and
other corporations were equally we'll treated.
The income tax bill and the McHale anti
tights bill passed the Senate, but both were
killed, in House committees. While the
radical and injurious proposed legislation
was not effected, some important bills were
put through, among them being the Aus
tralian elections bill for the entire State,
the Congressional reapportionment bill and
the so-called anti-Pinkerton bill, with an
amendment providing that detectives may
be employed by persons or corporations.

rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.l
LONDON, April 20.-The last scene of all
in the strange, eventful history of Gladys
Evelyn against William Henry Hurlburt
was duly enacted to-day before Justice Cave,
the special jury, which has listened for week
to the stories of the contending parties, aud
a large crowd of fashionably. dressed specta-
tors. With the fair plaintiff in the front to
remind one Of the stage and the gayly.clad
audience listening and taking an active in
terest in the proceedings, one might with
very little stretch Of the Imagination have
believed himself assisting at matinee.
The learned Judge, on taking his place,
concluded his summing up of the case, and
at o'clock the jury retired to consider its
verdict. When the jury filed into the court
there was hush of expectation as the clerk
arose to speak the well-known words: Gen
tlemen of the jury. have you decided upon
yo ur verdict ?'' After moments pause
came the reply from the foreman: "We
have. We fDd' there was no promise of
marriage made by the defendant to the
plaintiff" Justice Cave then said: Then,
budu 10 d'NcfulCb lOI buC
This. decision was greeted with some
slight applause by Mr.. Hurlburt's friends,
who were in body in the court. and that
gentleman, rising from his seat, instantly
began to push his way out. The plaintiffs
demeanor at this moment was in marked
contrast to Mr.. Hurlburt's manner. She
sat quietly in her place for a minute
or so looking stolldly in front Of her, as if
nothing had happened, least of all in which
she was interested. Then she turned to her
solicitor and said, in q low voice. but one
which was distinctly audible: "But he did
promise to marry me, and will prove it
yet"
Before she left the court, Dunlap repre-
sentative had a short conversation with Miss
Evelyn and asked her if another prosecution
was probable. Eyes, indeed" replied that
lady. with an easy, graceful manner. "Then
1 am to understand that you are ready to
defend it?" asked the representative. "Oh,
we shall prosecute, not he" replied Miss
EVELYN.

sarony Brings Case for $500 Against Will
son Barrett, the Actor.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATcH.I
NEW YORK, April 20.-A suit has been
begun by Sarony, the Union Square pho
tographer, against Wilson Barrett, for nom
payment Of mis- photo bill. The trouble be-
tween the actor and photographer began
about year ago, when Wilson Barrett was
acting in this city. According to Mr..
Sarony an agreement was made. whereby a
number of photos were taken
of Barrett for advertising purposes.
In accordance with the usual custom, Sarony
gave Barrett about three of each variety.
Barrett then demanded that as many as were
necessary for advertising purposes should be
given to him free. The photographer de-
clined to do this. Barrett. as alleged, then
threatened to get an injunction restraining
Sarony from selling his pictures.
Sarony did not publish any Of the pictures,
but he sent bill to Barrett for the work
already done. The amount was about 5000,
but payment was refused, on the ground
that Sarony had not filled his part of the
contract. Barrett is in London now, but his
manager may be here this spring. and, the
suit will probably come up for settlement in
one OF the city courts.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THU DISPATCH.
NEW YORK. April 90 - The British
steamship Hogarth, which arrived to-day
from Brazilian and West Indian ports, was
held at quarantine for disinfection and
fumigation, because her Chief Engineer,
John Atkinson, had died on the voyage of
yellow fever several days before the
Hogarth reached st. Lucia, and was buried
at sea. There was no illness on the ship
when she sailed from St. Lucia on April II
for this port. Deputy Health Officer Skin
ner will have part of the Hogarth's cargo
discharged, in order to make the fumigation
more eficacIous. He says there is no prob
ability of the contagion getting hold here
through the medium Of the Hogarth.
The trip from Rio is seldom made under
25 days, and in all recent cases death from
the disease has occurred between Rio and
St. Lucia. The steamships Dryden and
Garrick, both from Brazilian ports, where
the fever prevails, were detained within the
last two weeks because some Of their crews
had died OF the fever.

Death of an Eng1ishman Whose Faith In the

rBr DUNLAP's CABLE coMPANr.l
LONDON, April 20.-The death, on Sat-
urday, of David Barclay Chapman, recalls
the failure of Messrs. Averand. Gurney &
Co., he having been formerly partner.
Mr.. Chapman retired from business in 1857,
and his career is chiefly interesting sto
Americans from the fact that he made q

long season of doubt and disaster. His
faith brought him large pecuniary reward.

trated last January, eliminated to-day in the
arrest of j. 81. Sharp, travelling man employed
by Philadelphia wall paper house, at the in
stance of A. j. Griswold, of this city, proprietor
OF asaloon. AT the time mentioned Sharp called
on Griswold, who is an old friend of his, but the
latter was not in the city. Just for joke Sharp
represented himself TO the man in charge as a
deputy sheriff from Cleveland, and said he had
an execution against the place.
The report circulated, and two bona fids
officers representing creditors in Canton called
and closed up the place. Then the third execu-
ti0n was issued by another man, none of the
bills being due. When Griswold returned he
was amazed to find his place closed up. Sharp
had left town, but telegraphed that he would
indemnify GrIswold for the effect of his funny
joke, but has uever done SO. An officer is now
in Hanovertown, Columbiana county, trying to
turn the laugh on Sharp.
