Ticket.

A Young Lady at the Union station
and Her Trouble with a Railroad
Ticket.
During his many years. experience as
ticket agent for the Consolidated road in
this city, Charles Yates yesterday had an
experience which has probably never been
equalled by any ticket agent in this eoun-
try. 1t was all caused by the figures 10
on railroad ticket. Early in the after
noon a pretty and well-dressed young
woman approached the ticket Office and
handing Mr.. Yates 81. 80 asked for ticket
to New York. Mr.. Yates took the ticket
from It's rack, stamped 1t with the date,
his attention to his other travellers.
The number of the ticket was 80, 013.
After few minutes interim Mr.. Yates on
looking up was surprised to see the same
young lady standing In front of the ticket
Office, this time with tears in her eyes and
plaintively asking him to exchange her
ticket for her. At first he thought she
had probably made a mistake as to her
destination, and was considerably sur
prised when, in response to his query, she
again asked for a ticket to New York. Mr..
Yates thereupon explained to her that the
ticket Was all right, but she remsined in
exorable and pleaded with him to ex-
change 1t.
Finally the gallant ticket agent, moved
by her entreaties, complied with her re-
quest and gave her another ticket. AS he
did so her face lighted up and she was
about to go away from the ticket Office
when In reply to Mr.. Yates questioning
she acknowledge that the only reason why
she could not be satisfied with the original
ticket was because 1t had the unlucky fig
ures ID on 1t and all the numerals on the
ticket when added together amounted to

New Evidence Has Been Brought
Out by the Radicals Regarding the
Duke OF ConnaughI at Tel-el-K e Dir
when a Change of the Line of At
tack Was Made - The Facts Have
Been Known for Years Among Of
icers.
LONDON, Sep 2s The radicals brought
out to-day some new evidence as to the
charges of cowardice made against the
Duke of Connaught, the queens third son,
commander at Aldsrshot, and tho recipient
recently of unusual honors during the
manauve1ea at Guens.
Connaught was accused of seeking to es-
cape danger in the battle of the British
troops under General Wolseley with the
Arabs at Tel el-Kebir, Egypt, in 1890. The
origin of the accusation has been much dis
cussed, especially since Connaught was sp.
pointed to the Aldershot command.
A special correspondent who was on the
field of Tel Ell Kebir has now come out with
letter giving the foil story. When the
troops were formed for the attack, he saw
the Duke Of ConnaHght with his guards
brigade and General Alison, whose high
conditioned brigade were in the first line
Shortly after this formation pas made
dispatch from this highest quarter in Egg
land was handed to General Wolseley. It
inst' ucted him not to expose the duke to
danger in battle. Orders were given at
once for a change in the line of attack.
Connaught and his guards brigade we've
marched to the rear and the Irish brigade
was brought to the front.
The purpcrt of this change, Gays tie
correspondent, wa understood perfectly
throughout the army. Everybody knew
that had the guards not been under the
command of the queens son, they would
have retained their original post of peril
and honor.
This statement ia accepted generally here
as the bare truth. In the officers corps the
facts in 1t are said to have been known for
years

oouraging report of the princes con-

The most formidable of Bismarck

the physicians until Bismsrck's case had
become critical. The physicians and fam
lily are exceedingly anxious and watch Bis
marck constantly, as, although conva-
lescing, he is very weak and quite liable to
relapse, which must prove fatal.
According to Herr Alters report, the old
man seems like q wreck. His splendid
frame has shrunk and his flesh has fallen
off until his clothes hang in folds. He ap-
pears as If fully head shorter than before
