Policy Cases in Judge Miller,s Court.

In Judge Miller's court, jury trials, Prose-
cutting Attorney Mullowney has resumed the
prosecution of policy cases. and there are
enough Of that class Of cases to occupy the
courts attention for some time.
The trial of James Matthews, colored,
charged with being writer, was concluded
yesterday afternoon and Lawyers Campbell
Darlington and A. b. Williams made lengthy
arguments for the defendant The jury re-
turned and reported that they were unable to
agree, whereupon the judge stated that the case
was plain one and there was no reason why
a verdict should not be reached. The Jury re-
turned a second time about o'clock and again
reported that there was no possible chance to
agree. The foreman said that the law and the
facts were understood, but that there was no
possibility of an agreement. The court there
upon discharged them until this morning.
Today George Kidwell. white, and Albert
Dozier, colored, were convicted, and counsel

Senator Plumb and the Bushwhackere.

Senator Plumb and the Bushwhackere.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Senator Plumb. during the war, was ont with
a scouting party of his men in western Missouri
looking for bushwhsckers. It was at a time
when the border struggle was as merciless as
Indian warfare. The bushwhackers were look
ing for the scouting party. Late in the day
Plumb and his mon went into camp in ravine
full of brush. They were we'll concealed
They had lain there resting for some time,
when suddenly the bushwhackers, for whom
they we're looking, came into view on an eleva-
ton within gunshot range. The Kansans kept
very quiet and the unsuspecting bushwhackcrs
proceeded to make themselves comfortable in
camp. In numbers the parties were about
equal. Plumb. in whispers, instructed his men
to pick his bushwhacker and wait for the COM
mand. There was one left when the scouting
party had been told off to cover the bushwhack
ers. Plumb took his gun and leveled it upon
that man. To his hearers he described the
terrible sensations that went through his mind
as he lay there with his rife upon the unsus-
pecting enemy. The bushwhacker who had
fallen to Plumb's lot finally took his seat on the
ground with his back to a tree drew from his
pocket letter and began to read it. He sat
with his face full toward Plumb. It seemed
like murder, but the alternative of the situation
was kill or be killed. Perhaps the wait was
only very few moments, but il took the Sem
atOr much longer to describe the conflicting
emotions which he passed through. At length

Necessity is the mother Of invention"
Capt. Clark actually cut hole in the bottom OF
his schooner and sank the vessel to save her.
The captain is a typical Yankee. He loaded his
schooner at Greenpoint. L. l., with bricks and
set sail for Cold Spring last Saturday. He was
in the sound off Mount Misery during the gale
of Sunday. He was making leeway and was in
danger of being dashed on the rocks. BY a
desperate effort he managed to work his ves-
sci around the end of the Port jefferson break
water and started to 60 over the bar.
The vessel had taken in SO much water as to
be almost unmanageable and the captain de-
cided that if he let the vessel go up into the
deep water of the bay she would be lost or
badly damaged. SO slipping into the hold with
a few quick blows he forced a hole in the bottom
of the vessel, allowing her to fill rapidly. She
She settled down on the shallow bar, where her
cargo OF bricks held her firmly until the gale
subsidized.
Then Clark patched a hole in the vessel.

pleted his voyage.

has resulted in their betrothal. The day
has not yet been fixed, but the wedding
it is said, will take place in London before the
springtime comes. Miss Balcstier ia said to be
a lady of engaging manners, handsome and

Paris.
The death of the Khedive of Eeypt has
created an enormous sensation throughout
France, and particularly in Paris. 1t il be-
iieved that France viii take this opportunity
Of reopening the whole Egyptian question, and
that she will insist upon the appointment Of a
regency, with French representation in such
regency. England, il is thought, will probably
insist that Prince Abbas, the eldest son of the
late khedive, is old enough to reign; or,
should England not take that course, it is in
ferrod that she will advocate the appointment of
council or regency, with Sir Evelyn Barring, the
British agent, consul general and minister pleni-
potentiary in Egypt, as the presiding officer of
such body. 1t is generally admitted, even in
Paris, that at this stage of the eastern question
the influence Of the late Sir William White, the
last British ambassador to the porte, had with
the sultan would have been invaluable. In any
case the, situation in the Mediterranean, in
Morocco and in Egypt is q dangerous one and
will need great care and fine diplomacy to
avert clash of arms
LIFE OF TEwFIK PAcHA.
Tewfk Pacha (Mohammed Tewfik), Khedive
of Egypt, was born November 10, 1852, being
the eldest son Of the late Khedive IsmaiL He

received the investiture on August ii. He was
the sixth ruler of Egypt in the dynasty of Mo-
manned Ali Pacha.
In 1882 there broke out in Alexandria the in
surrection led by Arab Ahmed, which led to
the bombardment OF that city on July IL, 1882,
and subsequently to the defeat of Arab and his
forces at 1el-el-kebir.
Since that time the khedive has acted in
close harmony with the British authorities. He
was loyal and an honest man; was neither
cruel vicious, extraysgant nor an intriguer.
Iewfk married on January IS, 1873, the
Princess Emineh, daughter of the late FL Hami
Pacha, and has two sons and two daughters.
He behaved with noble devotedness during the
outbreak of the cholera in 1888. In company

Gen. Dan Macauley. chief of the appoint

inspector general of the District National
Guard, has escaped from the Mexican bandits,
into whose hands he recently fell on his trip to
the republic south Of Texas, and was at his
desk at the treasury today in good health
and spirits As his presence became known
around the building his friends dropped in to
see him and to congratulate him upon his
return, and he was soon holding quite
reception and telling thrilling tales OF his
experiences south of the Rio Grandc.
He wanted to know why his friends here
did not raise the money demanded by
the bandits as a ransom for his release. They
were most reasonable in their figures, he said.
starting first at $1,000. 900 and finally getting
down to bed rock at fifty cents cash. He thought
that that was fair range OF price for the aver
age American citizen soldier. When asked
how he escaped from the bandits the general
smiled. touched an electric button and then he
solemnly winked his other eye.
