England's Arch Gambler Runs Away In
Steamer Fitted Up as "a Private Yacht.

steamer Fitted Up as friNate hae"'
LONDON, Nov. 2S-Truth. the paper
which exposed the swindling operations
of Wells. an alleged dealer in patents.
who was recently condemned by the
court to pay f240 back to one Of his vic
tins, to-day says that Wells purchased
some time ago at Liverpool an ocean-go-
ing steamer and fitted her up sumptuously
as a private yacht.
This vessel was until recently kept in
Plymouth harbor. Her destination was
mystery. Within few hours after
Wells was threatened with an action by
the public prosecutor steam was got up
on the vessel and she vanished. Her
departure was so hurried that the men
who were still at work on her had to
leave at ten minutes notice.
Truth adds that British warships ought
TO capture the steamer and her owner
wherever they are found.
Mr.. Labouchere, the editor OF Truth,
is making things as lively as possible for
Wells. 1t was his expose OF the mans
swindliny operations that drew public
attention to him aside from his gambling
and which led one of his victims 10 seek
i'm the courts TO recover the money Wells
had swindled him out of.
The first attack Truth made upon Wells
was headed THE Biggest Swindler Lv-
ing" and in it Mr.. Labouchere identified
him with the Wells who has been reported
as having made enormous winnings at
the gambling tables at Monte Carlo.
Mr.. Labouchere, however, declares that
these winnings we're entirely mythical.
He says that Wells has swindled various
persons out OF large sums of money, and
instanced three cases where he secured
$4,000 from unsuspecting victims. When
judgment was given against Wells for
f240 a few days ago the judge declared
that the public prosecutor ought to attend
to him.

SHE TRUSTS IN HER HUSBAND.
Madame DE Lesseps Believes in His Abso-
Int Probity.

PARIS. Nov. 23.-N1adame De Lesseps,
wife of Ferdinand De Lesseps. has been
interviewed by writer for Figaro. She
said she had no fear as to the result
of the trial, and would simply prove who
was actually answerabe for the alleged
wrong doing in connection with Panama
canal.
Madame De Lesseps is confident I'm the
inhexible and absolute probity of her
husband and sons. A representative OF
Figaro was also permitted access to the
Count De Lesseps's presence The
veteran seemed sadly enfeebled by age
and illness, and seemed TO be in entire
ignorance Of recent events. The family
will make strenuous efforts to keep him
in ignorance.
LONDON. Nov. 23.-The correspondent
of the Daily News in Paris notes the fact
that the trial of the Panama canal direc-
tors will be conducted under the articles
OF common law. Therefore. he says, the
theory of the prosecution Is that the
Panama canal project has been svindle
from thu beginning. ana the directors are
liable, If convicted, to Imprisonment and
fine and to the deprivation of their civil
rights The family Of Baron De Reinach,
fearing that his estate, IL not specially
liquidated, may figure in court as an as
set of the Panama Canal Company, have
applied for the immediate appointment
of liquidator.
The Chronicles Paris correspondent
SAYS that the Government has ordered
that all of Baron De Reinach's papers be
sealed.
PARIS, Nov. 23.--The criminal prosecu-
ton of those connected with the Panama
canal scheme has given blow to the
effort to restore the enterprise The
scheme is regarded by financiers as mis-
erably weak Charges and counter
charges continue TO be exchanged in re-
gard to the responsibility for the failure
of the project and to the fraudulent
transactions i'm connection herewith.
Notwithstanding the excitement among
the public and the scene in the Chamber
OF Deputies, it is believed in political
circles that Parliamentary investigation
will not seriously disturb the mass Of
corruption connected with the Panama
undertaking, and that the prosecution
will prove a finsco.
The commission to investigate the af-
fairs Of the Panama Canal Company was
completed today. The concersus Of opin-
ion in the lobbies is that the selection has
been a good one. In the Senate the debate
on NJ. Flaviers question as to the mis-
MANAGEMENT of the credit fOnCier was
succeeded by the order Of TIE day.

United States Circuit Court Judge Simon
ton filed his decree to-day ordering the
South Carolina railway TO be sold for
the benefit Of its creditors at the suit
OF Frederick W. Bound, Henry Thomas
C0ehlan and others. Judge Simonton
holds that the road cannot be sold IN
parcels, but must be sold as an en-
tirety, and that under the circumstances
surrounding the road, an early sale OF
the road as an entirety is not only ad-
visable, but necessary and proper, upon
the failure of the railroad company to
pay into the registry Of the court first
the amount Of Si8,79S due on bonds Of
the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston
Railroad Company; second the sum Of
S1,5S04, due on the mortgage held by
James McCalder and others as trustees;
third, the sum Of 1881, 7S2. due on the
first consolidated mortgage Of the South
Carolina Railroad Company; fourth, the
sum Of $1.69S,l26. of the second consol-
dation mortgage debt; and fifth, sum
sufficient to pay costs and expenses of the
case.
The road will be advertised for sale.
Daniel II. Chamberlain is appointed spe-
cial master TO make sale at public auc-
ton, 10 the highest bidder, at the United
States custom-house, in Charleston, at
II o'clock, on the morning Of April 1lth

The court will hereafter direct how the

mick and Haygood, representing Wheeler
II. Peckham, of New York, on behalf OF

IA open court for leave 10 appeal. The
motion was granted and an appeal
