Louis Kossuth's Hard Last Days.

Tho following Is an extract from .
letter received by lady Of Plainfield,
N. j., from her friend Nine. Louis
Kossuth Ruttkay. Kossuth's sister:
What curious history our life was!
If there wero not so much Of tho
dramatic in it l should call 1t n farce do
In premiere ordre. To have lived three
months among ovations BETTING tho
most illustrious person and then return
TO see my poor brother, who is SS years
old. bending over his writing seven and
eight hours n day to earn his daily
bread! My heart aches for him when
hear him sigh and wish for rest.
IL think must have mentioned to
you in some of my letters of tho failure
Of some banks that involved my poor
brother in pccuniary difficulty. Hc
had put his hard-carncd modest capital
in some shares that have fallen to II
nominal value. Though not entirely
lost they may not for many wears bring
n dividend. and it was with the con-
seriousness that want was staring In our
faces that l went to Hungary. Since
then my brother. by writing very hard.
has finished tho fourth volume of his
memoirs. and it is now in tho hands of
the publisher. Subscriptions have
commenced. and it is to 10 hoped the
result will keep want from our door.
is it not strange that nation so
tenacious in its affection and homage
to my brother does not try to find u
way of providing for tho necessities of
lifeo They know that he has refused u
pension from Napoleon ILL.,. and also
Victor Emanuel, saying he will never
accept aims. not even from his own
sons. There are individuals who would
gladly come to his rescue II he would
accept it, but they never think OF offer
ing him a national gift. which. | think,
he would accept. Other nations COM
pcnsate citizens who. like my brother.
have devoted their whole lives and
genius to their country. Bismarck
was rich man. but besides. his coun-
try gave him and still gives him
millions. Ireland, which. rs n nation,
is poorer than Hungary, has given
Parnell hundreds Of thousands of
dollars. Italy has not only given to
Garibaldi. but is still giving TO every
surviving member Of his family-thcy
are live in numbcr-a lifelong pension
of 10000 francs. My brother. whn
refused 10 accept in England tho gift,
of some friends. accepted souvenir
from the working class, TO which $500
workmen each gave penny. That is
what makes me think he would accept
n gift in which his nation would parti-
cipnic.
Il sometimes wish that the foreign
press would express their opinion in
regard to the fact that the Hungarian
nation permits Louis Kossuih in hi,
s9ih year 10 earn his daily bread with
hard work instead of providing in n
way worthy OF Kossuth II, well as tho
nation for his wants"

That moment is when you

Bad Wound While Hunting.
LONDON, Dec. 28.-Prince Christian of
Schleswig- Notwithstanding was &C.
cidentally shot few days ago and bad
ly wounded. The facts were not made
public until to-day. The Queen
is spending the Christmas holidays
at Osborne House, her residence
on the Isle of Wight, and
among the royal company is Prince
Christian. who is the husband of Prin-
cess Helena Augusta Victoria, third
daughter of the Queen; the Duke of
Connaught, Her Majesty's third son;
Prince Henry of Battenberg, who mar
ried Princess Beatrice, the Queens
youngest daughter, and Prince Albert
of Schleswig-H olstein. The day before
Christmas these four princes, attended
by the usual beaters, started out to
shoot over the preserves belonging
to the royal estate. Late in the aft
ernoon, when the sport was nearly
finished, some birds were flushed, which
rose between the Duke of Connaught
and Prince Christian. The former, who
had no idea that his shot would reach
Prince Christian, fired into the covey.
His aim was not high enough to carry
the shot over the head of Prince Christ
ian and three of the leaden pellets struck
him in the face. One of the shots en-
tered one of his eyeballs, inflicting a
very serious wound. In fact it is re-
ported that the sight of the eye was
destroyed and that the physicians at
tending the Prince decided it would
be the safer plan to remove the injured
eyeball altogether in order to preserve
the sight of the other. This, it is said,
was done, and Prince Christian is pro-
crossing favorably toward recovery.
The wounds in his face do not amount

NO KNOCKOUT In NEW YORK.
The Police Put Stop to the Corbett-
Mitchell Mill.

New YORK, Dec 26.-Superintendent Of
Police Murray announced to-day that an
attempt had been made to revive so-called
knocking OUT matches which were
prevalent some time ago, but which
were stamped out, and that as
statements have been made that Charlie
Mitchell and Jim CorbetG, professional
pugilists, were to meet IN Madison Square
Garden in the early part of February he
would not allow the fight to take place.
"Since that announcement was made"
said the superintendent, another one
comes that Peter Maher and Jack Demp-
Sey will also fight in the Garden
some time in January. Now l am
determined that these knocking out
contests shall not be revived. There
will be no prize fighting in this county. If
these men get together and violate the law
it is my duty to arrest them, and | will do
so. OF course l cannot and do not desire
TO prohibit sparring exhibitions, but the
law does not permit prize fighting"
The Superintendent added that he will
notify the pugilistS themselves and also
the management Of the Madison Square
Garden Of his views in the matter.

SURVEY is INCORRECT,

Two Townships.

The Village of Ingalls, Discovered to be in
Two Townships.
MENoMINEE, Mich, Dec. 2S.-Great
excitement exists at the village Of In
gals, situated eighteen miles north of
here, when it became known a few
days ago that the existing survey is in
correct. This survey was made few
years ago by Orson Burlingame, who was
at that time county surveyor for
the county of Menominee. A few days
ago some of the residents had a survey
made, and discovered that the former
survey was incorrect, and that the town
road running east and west, constituting
the principal road in the village, was
about 100 yards north of where it
should be. Many comfortable and ex-
pensive buildings have been erected in
accordance with Burlingame's survey,
and it is more than likely that
some litigation will result. Another in
teresting point in the case is the fact
that the village of Ingalls, was supposed
to be in the township of Mellen, and I'M
der the new survey three-fourths of the
village is found to be in the township of
Stephenson. much to the disgust of the
residents, as the township of Mellen was
only organized last year mainly through
their efforts,

THREE YEARS TO BUILD.
Probable Time Required for the Erection
of the MllMaukee Post-of1ice.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 27.-It is the
the belief of officials in the supervising
architects Office that it will take fully
three years time to complete the new
Milwaukee post-office and have it ready
for occupancy. This belief Is based up
on the experience of the governmental
putting up similar structures in other
places, and makes allowance for
probable delays and other con-
tingencies. There is now no
known reason why work at Milwau-
kee should not be vigorously pushed as
soon as spring opens. There is but one
other large post-office job on hand-the
new building for Washington-and rs
there is hitch over the location and
size of the building there is now good
opportunity to prepare working plans
for Milwaukee, which will be complet-
ed in time to let contracts next March.
Specifications will be prepared and
copies sent to any contractor deciding
to bid for any portion of the work. All
bids will be opened here and contracts
awarded here. Various portions of the
work will be let separately, and there
will probably be ten or twelve different
contracts awarded.

Twenty-eight Families Narrowly Escape
Death In Burning Tenement.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Fire broke out
at S o'clock this morning in the Lo-
rena, an eight-story apartment house
at Third Avenue and Twenty
Street, occupied by twenty-eight fami-
lies, several Of whom are theatrical
people. The fire was discovered in
the parlor of Charles Fish's apartment,
on the fourth story, and spread
with great rapidity to the upper floors.
The tenants on the four lower stories
were able to escape by the main stair
way, but those on the floors above were
obliged to seek refuge by the fire es-
capes, or ascend to the roof, where
they crossed on an iron ladder to
the roof of Straiton & Storms
cigar factory, separated from the
Lorena by narrow passageway. Mr..

The other tenants were also obliged to
abandon everything, and many of them
who had not risen when the fire broke
out were forced to fly in their night
clothes. Many of the women were
aided to descend the ladders by the
fremen. Some were partly overcome
by smoke, but all finally got out in safe
ty.
During the excitement thieves en-
tered the building and Mrs. Avoy, one
of the tenants, had pocket-book con-
tanning 1886 stolen, while Mr. Hutchings
and Mr.. Appleton, also tenants, each
lost a gold watch. The loss of the occu-
pants of the building by fire and water
is estimated at $4,000. The damage to
the building is estimated at 50 900.

GILLIAN SPIES ARRESTED.
Two Suspects Taken into Custody at San
Francisco.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 29.-A morning pa
per says that an officer of Gen. Miles
department received a telegram late
last evening from his brother, United
States soldier stationed at San Francis
co, telling him of the arrest there yes
terday of two foreigners, one Spaniard,
the other q Gillian, who have been
there for the past three weeks and act
ing IN a manner to cause sus-
piclon. They spent much time in
their room in the hotel, observing the
strictest secrecy. They bought consid
cradle quantities of drawing materials,
such as are used in making maps and
plans, and when out they always went
in the direction of the harbor, where
they were several times surprised while
in the apparent act of max
ing surreptitious survey of
that locality with compass.
They also endeavored perslstently to
get information as to the location and
plans for exploding torpedoes in the
harbor. The men were arrested on a
charge of vagrancy, though they are
strongly suspected Of being Gillian
spies. 1t is not supposed that the charge
of yagrancy can be maintained as the
men are well supplied with money.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 28.-Diligent
inquiry here shows that no arrests have
been made hele of alleged CHILEAN spies
as reported in Chicago.
