A NASTY SCANDAL


Revived by tho Candidacy or Sir Charles
Dixie for earlIament.
LONDON, March ga long statement
has been Issued and is now being circu.
lated among the electors OF the Forest
of Dean division OF Gloucestershire on
behalf Of Sir Charles Dixie. 1t was
stated that Sir Charles Dixie had sup
piled the Forest OF Dean Liberal or.
ganization with a statement for private
circulation among It's members, vindicat.
ing himself against the charges made
against him in connection with the
famous Crawford.Dilke divorce case in
which he was involved several years
ago.
The statement tries to show that the
leading assertions Of the respondent,
Mrs. Crawford, were untrue and that
she was an abandoned character and q
habitual frtquenter OF houses OF i'll
fame. According to this statement Capt.
Forster ought TO have been the co.
respondent and not Charles Dixie. Re-
ierring 10 the notorious Fanny" the
pamphlet Gays that she is now happily
uhILlGu huu 10 kuOWu ab uAss SLJCAs
Continuing, the pamphlet says that
Mrs. Crawford, during the divorce pro.
ceedings, made the assertion that
Fanny" had been Sir Charles Dilke's
mistress, and crowned her own infamy
by swearing that she, MRS. Crawford"
and Fanny" had been in bed together
with Sir Charles Dixie. In this con.
nection it has been widely asserted that
"Fanny" had avoided going into the
witness box, and that in go doing she
practically admitted her guilt. Since the
trial, however, according to the state
ment, "Fanny" has made statutory dec.
laration giving a full account OF herselt, OF
where she was staying at the period 1t was
asserted she was sleeping with Charles
Dixie, and has made sworn denial Of
Mrs. Ora Words story, 30 far as it related
10 her before the Queens proctor.
"Fanny's" husband, the pamphlet adds,
believes his wiie's story and Gays that
he has the best reasons to know that she
is q good woman. The most striking
novelty Of the whole affair are Fan
ny's" declarations. The general opinion
seems to be that the pamphlet will fail
to completely yindicate Sir Charles
| Dixie.

0ID STORY REVIVED
BY the Death Of Rev. ]. G. Arm
strong, Late Of Wheeling.
HIS RESEMBLANCE TO BOOTH
The Assassin OF Lincoln-People in
Atlanta Believed Him to be Booth.
His Intimacy with the Great
Actor-A Career Recalled.

CHICAGO, March ga morning paper
says: 1t is generally believed by the
people OF Atlanta, Ca, that the Rev. ].
G. Armstrong who recently died in that
city, was ]. Wilkes Booth. Two old Sud
we'll informed citizens Of the Georgia
capital are stopping at the Grand Pacific,
and they declare that the people of At.
lanta will not believe otherwise than
the late pastor was the assassin OF Presi-
dent Lincoln.
"Armstrong's resemblance to J.Wilkes
Booth was remarkable" said one OF the
Atlanta men yesterday. "When he was
alive the people OF Atlanta discussed the
suspicion about the man. The last time
Edwin Booth visited Atlanta he, with
the leading members OF his company,
stopped at the Kimball House. All one
day Mr.. Armstrong is known to have
been closeted in q rooms at the hotel with
the actor, and during the weeks engage.
ment OF the company made frequent
visits TO Mr.. Booths apartments. Efforts
were made TO learn the mans past his.
tory, but they were futile beyond the
fact that he was at one time the pastor
OF church at Wheeling, W. Va. The
vsstrymen in Wheeling attempted to
trace his past history, but we're unable
to make any progress. He declined to
have anything TO say in regard to him.
self, and was forced to leave his church.
"From Wheeling he went to Atlanta.
The first time his name was mentioned
in the public prints was when his
daughter created sensation by de.
serting her husband the day alter her
marriage. The young woman subse-
quently went on the Btage. Mr.. Arm.
strong was fond OF attending the theatre
and often saw him in public places.
His presence always caused comment.
His resemblance to the assassin OF Lin
coin was certainly remarkable, he even
having gun shot wound in his leg, aud
the scar on his neck. These marks
were discovered after death. It is ru'
mored since the mans Heath that he
committed suicide and the Coroner will
be called upon to hold an inquest. 1n
case Of such an event an effort will be
made to find some Of his private pa.
perB."
The above dispatch recalls to the
minds OF Wheeling people the discus
sion during his residence here, concern
ing Mr.. Armstrong; remarkable resem.
blance to the assassin OF President Lin
coin. There are people in this city who
still believe he was Booth, in spite Of
history, which is conclusive on the
point that the assassin was killed short
ly after the tragedy. DR.. A. Fl. Thayer,
OF Grafton, this State, assisted in the
autopsy held on the body OF Booth after
his death, and in an interview about a
year ago told an intereating story Of that
circumstance. The statement OF the
theory that Mr.. Armstrong commit.
ted suicide is news to the people OF
Wheeling,
