Williams, the African Explorer, Loft His
 Wife in Poverty.
 WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 18.-Informa- tion has just been received here that George Williams the weN-known Arri- can explorer who died in England on August 1, abandoned his wife and child here. When the wife heard of her hus- bands death, she wrote to England con- corning his estate, but the only reply re- ceived was 8 lot of unpaid bills.
 Williams met a handsome English girl, Alice Fryar, in Egypt, who, know ing him to be married, became engaged to him. They went to London, and Williams Is said to have died in her arms at Hartport of pneumonia leaving her all his effects. Miss Fryar then disap- peared.

The Famous stonehenge.

Stonehenge is famous ruin of great but uncertain antiquity, situated in the center of a plain near Amesbury, in Wiltshire, Eng. At present it is mere ly a confused mass of moss-covcred stones, which must be closely inspected in order to trace out the original form, which was two concentric circles of huge. upright stones enclosing two elipses, the whole surrounded by a cir cular ditch and embanl1mcnt; the wall being 15 feet high and 1,o1o in circum- ference. There is much difference of opinion among antiquarians as to what the original building, monument or dilze was used for. Many eminent scientists believe it to be the remains of a Druidish temple, erected long be- fore the Roman invasion of Britain.

 The widows courage was wonderful, for during four long weeks she never failed to be at the window day by day when MT. Wythe passed, and she con- tinued to swap her smiles for his sour looks. It was not long before he found hlnself unable to pass the little white cottage without looking for the widow, and. although he did not know it, he would have been terribly disappointed if she had failed to be at her post by the window.
 The widow had pet cat that was destined to add still greater misery to Beckenham Wythe's life. One day his dog pursued the cat till 1t ran up tree. Instantly the widow appeared in the

HIS DOUBLE IS TIRED The Man Who Resembles Jay
 Gould Disguised.
HE CHANGES HIS APPEARANCE.
Says Being Taken for ths Great Finanoiel
 Has Become a Burden to Him.

How Sam Leopold. Gould's Exact Coun- terpart. Refused 0SO,OoO to PersOnste
 the speculator-A Great Scheme to De- moralze the Market by Having Leopold Represent Gould and Feign a Fatal In jury--Might Have Consented, but Feared Being NIobbed.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Sam Leopold of No. 94 Broadway, the broker who for 15 years has enjoyed the distinction of be- ing Jay Gould's double, has altered his whiskers in order to partially remove the resem blance
 MT. Leopold has long been in doubt whether this strong resemblance to the millionaire has been benefit or 8 dis l advantage to him. It has come to be 8 great bore. Now MT. Leopold is tired, and his determination to escape the dif- fculty of the situa ti on has taken form in prompt action.
 In 1884 he had hard struggle in re- | fusing $2O, 900 to personate MT. Gould. | A party of speculators cooked up 8 | scheme to knock the stock market into smtrhereens. Prices were extremely sen sitive at that time, and it was pretty well understood that only 8 strain or two would be necessary to turn the bal | anco ana produce financial crash which might echo over the world.
 The conspiring brokers proposed to Leopold that he smear some blood on his face and roll on the sidewalk near the corner of Wall and Broad streets, pretending to be dangerously hurt. An ambulance was to have been sum moned two minutes ahead of the "aceident,' '' so that the vehicle could dash up to the scene soon after 8 crowd gathered. Cd %o ha the scene to keep the crown back, to partially shield the 'injured man" and to repeat occasionally, That's Jay Gould; he is fatally hurt.'
 Further details of the plan were to have carriage near Chambers Street ? Hospital for the purpose of taking "Mr. Gould" to his house. Of course, Leo pold's remarkably close resemblance to Gould would be sufficient to make the scheme work well.
 Then the telegraph wires were to be grounded" for few hours. The Ire. 'mendous excitement would naturally depress the Gould stocks and, in sympa thy, about everything would go down with rush. The schemers were to takt advantage of this by selling short, and they expected to have at least from 10 t. 9 o'clock in which to work this peculiarl, daring manipulation of the market.
 By the time the truth would be know the bold plotters would turn and gc long of the market, on the recovery iron the temporary shock, and at least tw' or three good sized fortunes were ex pected to be realized by the double deal Sam reluctantly declined the tempting offer Although he wanted tho $20, 00| awfully bad, he feared that he might b mobbed after tho fright was over, and g. the scheme fell through.
 At length Leopold has concluded tha l notoriety as Jay Gould's double is no altogether pleasant For years he ha been the target for correspondents 0 rival newspapers. Now he will have l

BITTER CHURCH WAR.
Holy Trinity at Chicago Robbed
Of Costly chaIices.
A FEUD BETWEEN CHURcHEs
Carried to Extremes.--A Theft Com.
mitted by a AIcmber of the oppo.
sitiOn Faction ..-:.sequeI!to a
STORY of a War of Years.

CHICAGO, III, Jan. 4.-There is wff
again bstween the st. stenilRus PoliSh
church and its neighbor OF the same de.
nomination, the Holy Trinity church.
On Saturday night before Christmas the
Holy Trinity church was entered from
the rear and two costly golden chGliceg,
from which the Holy Sacrament is ad-
ministered, and one of the sacred boxes
Of solid gold were stolen from the altar.
AS the bowls Of the chaGices are held
especially sacred, 1t is evident that the
thieves did not steal them on account Of
their value, but for the purpose of de-
privfng the Holy Trinity altar OF It's
most sacred furniture.
The members Of the Holy Trinity
church, however, believe that the deed
was committed by some one Of the op-
position church. The feud has been on
ever since 1874 and frequent riots have
occurred.
In 1877 the Rev. Father Simon
took the pastorate of the
Trinity chu1ch without the permission
Of the Bishop, and in consequence the
pastor was accommodated.
The Reverend Miclcuszny died very
suddenly and myateriously in his own
house, and the Holy Trinity people
openly asserted their suspicious that he
vas murdered by parties Of the opp osi-
ion church. t4

palace authorities and military authoIi
ties, another between the palace authori
ties and naval authorities, and another
still between all the three groups o
authorities combined.
Then the air again became clear about
Constantlnopie and the Dardanelles, and
steam was hurriedly got up upon the
fastest vessel available at Constantinople G
the imperial yacht. That vessel, after
crowdipg on all the steam she could
with safety carry, managed to overtake
the Japanese irigates of the port Of
SMYRNA, where abe was expecting to
coal.
THE TURKS PRoFUsELY APOLOGIZE.
The Turkish imperial yacht ran along
side the Japanese ironclad, and the
Turks began a series Of profuse apollo
gles, reciting the explanation that the
international regulations forbade any
foreign ironclad from entering the
straights, and suggesting all sorts OF ways
in which the matter could be settled.
The Japanese commander finally &C.
cepted the apologies rendered him,
transferred the survivors OF the Erto-
groul to the imperial yacht, and every.
body felt more comfortable.
The Ertogroul was a wooden frigate OF
2,344 tons burden; she was built in |
1868, and carried forty.one guns OF small
calibre. Admiral 0sman Pasha, who
perished with the Ertogroul, was Vice
Admiral Of the Turkish fleet, and som
in.law OF Hassan Pasha, Turkish Minis
ter Of Marine. Also on board the ILL
lated vessel were number Of Turkish
naval students.

organized labor Of the country, approved
by. the officers Of tho American Fedora

The appeal says the operators refused
TO meet the miners in convention and
they were compelled to continue work
till December /, when the demand was
renewed and the operators ag4in refused
to grant the advance. The appeal CON
Cludes.
