HOW LOCKE WAS DUPED.
The Los Angeles History of Mrs. NeitIe
aud Her Adorer.

The Los Angeles History of Mrs. NeitIer
aud Her Adorer.
The woman named in the above dis
patch was known in this city as Mrs.
Norma Stuhr. The man whose arrest
che caused was also q resident OF Los
Angeles in 1884 and 1885. Mrs. Stuhr
was the wife of we'll known and res
pected merchant of this city, until he
found out that she was unworthy of a
mans love, when he obtained divorce.
In San Francisco Norma married q
man named Neitler. This, however,
did not prevent her from meeting with
Locke Tor Foge. the name he went by
here), who had also removed TO the
north, and it was we'll known that she
was at all times inclined to mix up in
intrigues that would turn out profit
ably to herself.
That Foge, who certainly has spent
many thousand dollars on this woman,
should never have found out until now
that be was being played, is rather re-
markable. Mrs. Neitler is an amateur
actress of some talent, who played in
the Turnverein many years ago.
MIR. FoGE's STATEMENT.
A special to Thursdays San Francisco
Chronicle gives Locke or Foge's true
name as Foster, and represents him as
saying in regard to his arrest:
81 have known Mrs. Neitler number
of years. l have furnished her with
money at different times, and altogether
I have given her as much as $4,000 or
$4,000. Several weeks ago | received q

and run away. I at once sent her mon
ey, and when l returned to San Francis
would never live with her husband
again, and was going to get divorce.
She said she wanted to come to Chicago
to live, and wanted me to come with
her. Ispent $500 in fitting her and her
children up with clothing and cash and
buying them tickets to Chicsgo. l sent
several kilograms there, and finally re-
ceived telegram from her husband,
which reads: 'Hs, ha, hap This was

give me the laugh by telegraph made
my blood boil with rage.

saw Mrs. Neitler and she again told me
that she was going to get divorce from
her husband, but that it would take a
month to get it. We then went out
and saw the sights of the city, and wined
and dined together. But when 1 called
on her yesterday she said che had con-
cluded not to leave her husband, and it
then dawned upon me that I had been
duped. l drew a revolver and told her
she must tell me then and there what
she intended to do. She wrenched the
revolver from my hand. When I met
her today was rested"

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 25.-The schooner
Lena Hall, with cargo of apples, left
Ludington, Mich, yesterday, in tow
of a steam barge. The line parted last
night during severe storm, and the
schooner was bufeted about by heavy

THE BREAKERS BURNED,
cornelius Vanderbilt's Newport Resi-
dence Gone Up In Smoke.

cornelius Vanderbilts Newport Resi-
dence Gone Up in Smoke.
NEWPORT, r. l., Nov. 25.-The ele-
CANT and costly summer residence OF
Cornelius Vanderbilt, known as the
Breakers, was totally destroyed by fire
this afternoon, together with all the
valuable contents of the villa. The fire
was discovered by Vanderbilt himself
about 80. A telephone message was
sent for the fire department, but the fire
had great headway and before the ap-
paratus reached the scene, which is
nearly two miles from the station.
the fire was beyond control. Even
when the department arrived thew
were handicapped by an insufficient
number of hydrants. Vanderbilt him
self stated that nothing could be done
to save the property, as the whole build
ing, save the servants quarters. was a
roarine furnace when the department
arrived. portion of the furni-
ture was saved, but it is
insignificant either in quantity
or value when compared with that lost.
All the rich tapestries, rare paintings,
valuable bric-a-brac, elegant decorations
and furnishings, wearing apparel and
rare and costly articles of every descrip-
ton were destroyed. The character of
the furniture and decorations NAV be
judged from the fact that IN
single hall were hung tapestries
estimated to be worth 10000
or more. Vanderbilt and family found
temporary refuge in the gardeners cot
tage on the premises. Vanderbilt could
give no accurate estimate OF his loss.
which he stated is largely covered by in
surance. The silver, jewels and other
valuables OF like nature, were placed
In cafes by the servants, and he thought
probably were all right. Rough esti-
mates place the loss at $500, 600.

THE PICTURE OF DEATH.
BLAINE WILL NEVER BE A WELL
MAN AGAIN.
The Distinguished Patient suGers An
other Reiapse-Oficfal Information
as to His Condition Still Kept
from the Public.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The Herald's
Washington special says: Blaine had
another attack this evening, and for
time the outcome was much
in doubt. Both DR.. Johnstone
and DR.. Hyatt were summoned,
and after a time succeeded in rallying
the patient. Absolutely no information
of definite character can be obtained at
Blaine's house. ''Mr. Blaine will never
be well man again. To see him is
enough" said an intimate friend to-
night. "Blaine is the picture OF
death, he said, "and white as the pill
low upon which he rests"
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Blaine's con-
dition was again the subject of universal
interest today, made go by the publica-
tion of statements that his ailment had
taken turn for the worse and that his
life was in imminent danger. If the
physicians and members of the family
are to be believed. such statements are
misleading and not warranted by the
facts. AS near as can be learned the
attack from which Blaine is now suffer-
ing is similar to and no more dangerous
than those which preceded. He caught
a cold and was imprudent in his diet.
Some congestion followed and there was
fever in the train. His stomach was
made torpid and there was difficulty in
digestion. Notwithstanding the reports
to the contrary, it can be said that
Blaine has shown no signs of mental alb
berration or delirium. There has been
much difficulty encountered in the effort
to get reliable news as to his condition,
and this has fostered the origin and
spread of exaggerated stories of his con.
dition. 1t is learned that Blaine will
soon be removed to some point in the
south, with the hope that warmer cli-
mate will have beneficial effect on his
bronchial troubles, which are aggravated
since the cold spell set in.

quired to settle the matter.

BELLAIRE.

The candidates for nomination this
spring seem TO be after the city offices,
there being little talk so far for town
ship nominations. George Kern, the
trustee, whose term expires this spring,
will likely be renominated By the
Democrats, as he has made splendid
official, and it is the custom to have one
member OF the board from the city.
Fred Eberle may be the Republican
nominee. w. j. Kirkpatrick will be
renominated for clerk by the Republi-
cans. No Democrat has been named as
a contestant, and the same thing APP
plies to the nomination for constable.
The one hundred and sixtieth amir
verSary of the birth of George Washing
ton will be appropriately observed IN
this city. The banks will be closed
during the day; the postoffice will be
closed from 10 a. m. till 5 p. M, and
many OF the leading business houses
will close at noon. The literary and
musical entertainment at Odd Fellows
Hall, and the oyster supper to be given
by the Merchants Running Team are
the amusements provided.
The entertainment to provide a fund
TO pay the expense of Miss Bessie Hoge
as a missionary to India will be held at
the First NJ. Z. Church on Friday even
ing. Miss Hoge was formerly teacher
in the Sunday school, and the fund vii!
be called the Bessie Hoge Fund" In

THE CONSUMER PAYS TaE TAX.

A Canadian farmer brings his wheat
across the Niagara river and sells il in the
American market. Before he was allowed
to cross over 70 the American side he was
required 20 pay duty Of ~ cents on every
busuel OF wheat; and, as amatter OF course,
he sold his wheat at the American price.
He took home with him only 50 cents

"And, adds the autocrat Of the b C
class, II defy any free trader on earth
20 deny the correctness Of this state
ment." We do not know Of any great
number OF Stree traders" loose in this
part of the country, but we humbly un-
dertake to deny the correctness Of the
statement aud particularly the logic OF
this section Of Mr.. AS tariff primer.
The campaign textbook out of which
Mr.. ATKINSON dragged this ''illustra-
ton" was out OF date some years ago.
Foreign farmers and manufacturers
don't bring their goods here aud peddle
them. American importers attend to
that, and the American importer does
not lose any money by it when he sells
the imported article 10 the American
consumer. Mr.. ATKINSON, himself,
elsewhere in his wonderfully and fear
fully made "a 3 c. article says that
the tariff is not tax, and the consumer
does not pay it, ereept in cases Ichere The
article Is not MANUFACTURED ta this country.
This, Of course, applies equally to all
imports. In palmer language, whenever
an article is imported the tariff, what
ever it may be, is paid by the American
consumer and no one else. As our for
eign trade is at present conducted, it
could not we'll be otherwise.
II Mr.. ATKINSON orders 4 bushel OF
wheat or a suit of clothes from Canada
ne will pay the Canadian farmer or tail
or the price in Canada, and if the Hon.
GEoRGE w. has his wheat or his clothes
brought beyond the custom house he
will pay the tariff himself.

THEY TRADED WIVES.
An Interesting Incident in the History OF
Canal Boating on the Old Chesapeake.
CnLnhErIrnR DliiN MFRS.

Canal Boating on the Old Chesapeake.
Cumberland Daily Ns1rs
Down in the canal basin clustered in
q bunch around and in the vicinity of the
canal wharf, are about a dozen canal
boats frozen fast in the ice. They have
been laid up for the winter, and their
crews, those that are not working else
where, have nothing to do but sit around
and smoke their pipes and swap yarns.
A number Of these canallers were gath
cred Yesterday afternoon on top OF
boat and began TO swap stories. Whlle
epioying themselves in this way rather
pretty girl passed down Wineow street
and the attention OF every man
was at at once attracted. She
was watched until she had passed
out of sight then the gang turned and
resumed their former positions. But
the appearance of the damsei had
changed the drift OF their thoughts
The conversation turned upon women,
and naturally upon those who were the
wives OF the canal boat captains. One
man related an actual occurrence OF ten
wears ago. that was peculiar and anus
ing. 1t was as fellows: "Ten years ago
7 was mule driver for Captain Ander-
, SON who had for wife the prettiest
| woman that ever trod the deck OF
! "scow." She war industrious, too,
and often would change about with me
| in drivin' the animals. She war COCO
bit Younger than the cap'n and he TOOK
q notion in his head that she war not
the kind of woman he wanted. Beau
ty held no charms for this old rooster
and he had long had his eyes set on the
wife Of another cap'n named Jones:
The woman Of his second choice had
nothing about her to attract man.
/ She was old, sour and ugly.
/ She had a temper that no one could
brook and could swear like man. Cap
J tain Anderson had long regarded her
with coyesous eyes as her boat passed
and repassed his on the canal. AT last
he made up his mind he was going TO
have her, and the next time old Jones
boat passed ours he hailed him and
bade him lay to. This was done,
aud Capt Anderson at once
| started the ball rolling by asking
! Jones what he would take for his wife:
Jones said he did not think be womb
| sell. bat was willing TO trade II some
thing to boot was thrown in. After q
little parleying the matter was arranged
between them and the swap was made.
Anderson received dog to boot and
Jones a rudder blade. The exchange
was satisfactory to all parties ana the
boats continued on their way"
II remember OF another case Wnere
an old and practical captain 's"apped
of his wife for mule, he being badly
in need of an animal"
