Gle are the dramatis persona. Last
July, Freida Strather, German
girl of noble birth and heir to
$780, 900, met Chriss Hoffman, q
Boston printer, at Berlin, and be-
came enamored of him. Her parents
and young German student to whom
she was engaged objected to her new
lover, and she forthwith eloped, taking
with her valuable negotiable papers and
jewelry. The pair went to London,
India and China, crossing the Pacific to
San Francisco and thence going to
Tacoma. her father learned she was
in America and sent an uncle 5000
miles to induce her to return
to her people. Carl Strather, the uncle,
arrived here yesterday, and went out to
Hotfman's house on f Street, this
morning, and made known his errand,
whereupon Hoffman threw the German
baron down stairs and broke his collar
bone. Mr., Strather was taken to the
hospital, and the young couple left for
Portland on the afternoon train. The
uncle says the Strather family is very
wealthy, but that Freida will be disin-
herited for her foolish elopement."

Disastrous Accident on an Underground
Railway.
NEW York, Feb. pa shop train
consisting of empty cars was moving
through the Fourth Avenue Railroad
tunnel at 10 o'clock this morning when
it stopped at Eighty-fifth Street. Be-
hind it came train No. 10, the New Ha-
ven local that left the Grand Central
depot at 1902 A. NJ. The New Haven
train ran into the standing "shop train, j"
wrecking itself and the rear cars of the
train with which it came into collision.
In few moments flames broke out,
and while everything was in terror an'
confusion, a third engine, runnin
hght"-without cars-crashed into the
wreck. The fire was soon extinguished,
and the work Of rescue began.
At half-past 10 o'clock nine bodies had
been found, and seven persons seriously
injured have been removed 70 the
hospital.
None of the passengers are known to
be among the killed or injured. They
are all believed to be employees of the
road. The passengers in the New

beyond some slight cuts and bruises
none of them was badly hurt. The
passengers were taken back to the
Grand Central Depot.

TURNER'S FALL OUT.

Split at Chicago on the Anarchist Cues
tion-BiG Fight On.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 20.-A clash be-
tween the conservative and anarchistc
factions among the German Turner's in
this city promises to spread to the en-"
tire country and disrupt this powerful
organization.
The Turngemeinde is the oldest and
strongest of the societies here, and has
always been heavily conservative. Re-
Gently one of it's anarchistic members
INDUCED in structures on it in a speech
before another society. The Turnge-
meinde then expelled him. He APP
pealed to the district governing body,
which ordered the Turngemeinde to re-
store him to membership.
A meeting was called, and the society
defed the district body by refusing by a
large majority to restore the obnoxious
member.
1t is assumed that the only thing the
superior body can do is to expel the
Turngemeinde from the national body.
AS other conservative farmer societies
throughout the country contain the
same elements, it is supposed that they
will take up the fight, with the prob
ability of general separation between
the conservative and radical factions.

The Decline of the Sailor.

Rather severe criticisms on our navj are appearing in the English journals The critics admit we have as good naval officers as any, but say that what shipa we have are manned by Englishmen, irishmen, Germans, Scandinayians and negroes. This is truo in time of peace; for first rate American sailor men car make more than $215 month ashore. But once the signal of war comes, and the promise of prize money and adventure, and there would be little room for much of the poor material now manning the yards. The great fleet that Farragut led past the Mississippi forts was manned with Gloucester 1lshermen-men who, un like the average blue jacket, combine a keen intelligence with strength and dar- mg.
 The day of the "square rigger" is gone by, for the modern war ship has no sails, and quick hand at the gun sight and block, tackle and gearing is more in de mand than one that can hand, reef, and steer. Indeed, it is curious study to watch how, in the war ship of today, the sailor is declining and the engineer and machinist advancing. Perhaps in the future the crew of war ship will be com posed of three classes only-scientists, en gineers and coal beavers or oil feeders.- Scientific American.
