THE PRESS PORTFOLIOS.
We Can Now Furnish Neat Binders for
america Photographed

Our supply of binders for America
Photographed has arrived, and we
furnish them to all who desire
at one dollar each. They are
strongly and neatly made, and convent
emily arranged, so that each part can be
quickly inserted in its place as soon as
issued. The covers are imitation moroc-
co, stamped in a handsome design and
lettered in gold. The parts are held in
place by small linen tabs which fit into
slit in the portfolio and are gnmmed in
place., We can send these by mail for %
cents extra, or by express to points not
far distant for Is cents extra. The bind
er is handsome, strong and serviceable,
and considerably above the average of
ready binders.
We can furnish the first seven parts in
this series, and they alone will make
quite start towards a book to put in
the binders. One part will be ready ev-
ery Monday morning until the series of
20 numbers are all issued. Those who
have seen none of the numbers yet is
sued should send for No. 1, which re-
auires only one coupon in addition to
the 10 cents. When complete the series
will contain 800 views of the wonderful
scenery of our own country, and those
who have taken the parts thus far issued
will testify to the fact that it is not ne
cessary to leave it's boundaries to see
many wonderful sights.
In No. of Famous Paintings of the
World" is a reproduction of the painting
of the '.Narotjord, Norway which was
exhibited at the Worlds Fair. The Nor
wegian fjords furnish some of the finest
scenery in the world. Thelandscapes
round about rise everywhere from pic
turesqueness to sublimity. This scene
is one of the finest to be witnessed on
the whole coast. Another painting in
the same number is entitled ''Evicted,"
the original of which was shown in the
italian exhibit of fine arts in the Column
bian Exposition. The scene here de-
picted belongs to Italy, but the process
of eviction is similar to that in Ireland
and other countries. The officers of the
law have come in at the bidding of the
landlord, and with force and arms have
elected the tenants from the house. The
artists aim has been to show the chaos
of property, the ruin Of hopes and the
VARYING diapason of despair which such
scene must necessarily invoke. Six
numbers of this series are ready and the
seventh will be ready later in the week.
The six already issued contain reproduce
lions of SO paintings, many of which
were exhibited at the Worlds Fair.

Fire in Mrs. solkey's Rooms.

The alarm of fire rung in at about
quarter of ten last evening was caused
by slight fire in the dressmaking
rooms of MIR. Caroline Solkey, at No.
22s 10 Middle street, on the second floor
of the block at the corner of Middle and
Union streets. The fire caught near the
stove. The department responded
promptly, and put on slight stream
from the chemical. which soon extin-
guished the blaze.
The fire was caused, apparently by
the stove pipe falling apart. Thus
sparks were let onto table containing
bundles of braids, fringes, etc. These
were ruined by the fire and water. The
flames and heat Also ruined most of the
furniture, while the smoke damaged

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
And John A. Mckay Will Have to Answer
For II in Court.

Last night, officers Norton and Mad
den arrested man named John A. Nc
Kay, on charge of assault on a woman
named Catherine Kelley, Ewho resides at
No. 4S Federal street. Mrs. Kelley ac-
commodities four boarders at her house.
She has not been well, and Sunday night,
as her boarders were out, she sent the
woman who attends her for DR.. Fessen-
den. While the woman was gone, Mrs.
Kelley says Mckay entered the room and
sat down on sofa, at one end, while she
was lying in bed at the other end. Mrs.
Kelley further says Mckay wanted her
to drink with him, and when she refused
he attempted to assault her. She re-
sisted him, whereupon he proceeded to
beat her most savagely, and then ran
away. just afterward DR.. Fessenden ar
rived, and found the woman lying on the
floor bathed in blood. Her head was a
sight to behold. One side was all out of
shape. and the other was cut and bruised
in a terrible manner. Last night, when
Deputy Sterling saw the woman, she was
trying to eat some Cruel and he said her
face was very badly bruised and cut.
The officers felt confident they should
catch Mckay, and they laid for him. He
has an acquaintance who lives near the
Grand Trunk yard. Officers Norton and
Madden had learned that Mckay had
said mo id policeman will ever take
me-" and they therefore concluded he
intended to use desperate means rather
than be captured. They ascertained that
Mckay used to go into an oil she'd be-
longing to the Grand Trunk, and while
Norton went inside and waited, Madden
concealed himself just outside. Shortly
after. man came along, and was about
to enter the shed when Madden quickly
seized him and flung him across the
doorsill into the shed, where Norton
grasped him and put on the twisters
NOW, my man, said Norton, 'you can
kick all you like" The man was NC
Kay. and when he found he was over
nowered he admitted that it was all up
with him.
Mckay is about six feet tall or little
over. and weighs over 200 pounds. He is
remarkably we'll built, and hard man
to handle. He was arrested last Novem-
Der for breaking into Daniel McKeown's
house on Cumberland street, and steal
ing Bible and other property, but
Judge Bonney suspended sentence when
the case came before him as nothing
then was known against him. He came
here from Boston, where he worked for
Mr.. Redlon, but his home is in the
Provinces. He is about "a years of age.
Mrs. Kelley is about IS years old.

BERESFORD OUT ON ALARK. !
He Escapes From the Camp and
Spends The Night at Americas.

He Was Dressed in Citizens Clothes
and Sent His Baggage to a Hotel.
Police Arrest Him in the Morning
and Send Him Back to Camp-A Law
yer Suing His Wife in New York for
Counsel Fees.
Abbeville, Ga. Jan. 16.-Lord Beresford
alias Lascell's, the noted convict, escaped
from the Gress camp near Abbeville last
night in citizens dress. He boarded the
$40 O'Clock passenger train at Kramer
and went to Americas At Americas he
sent his baggage to the Windsor
hotel. A dispatch was sent to Americas
at s O'Clock this morning and Beresford
was arrested there by a policeman and
sent back to the Gress camps.
BeresfOrd was arrested in the bawdy
house of Leona Lee on jackson street.
He expressed a great desire that the
press say nothing of the character of the
house in which he was captured as it
would tend to injure his standing as a
gentleman.
LAWYER SUING BEREsFORD's WIFE.
New York, Jan. 16.-The bogus Eng
lish lord, Walter S. Beresford, who. in
private life, is plain Sidney Lascelles,
convicted swindler and forger, and who,
according to dispatches received to-day
in Georgia, escaped from chain-gang, is
the central figure in litigation now pend
ing in the supreme court. Lord Beresford
posed in good society here for few days
before his true character was discovered.
Central Office detectives arres ted him on
a telegram from Rome, Ca, where he
was wanted for forgery and swindling,
and he was finally taken there. II is
through his defense against these charges
that the suit is brought.
THE LAWYERS CLAIM.
Walter w. Vandevere, a lawyer of
Rome, Ca, who assigned his claim to Jo-
siah w. Ewing, a New York lawyer, for
convenience, says that there is due ST, 800
from Maud Lascelles, wife of Beresford
for legal services rendered under agree
ment. He alleges that ne was to receive
$1,000 as a fixed fee, and $1,000 additional
if her husband was not convicted and
punished in the chain-gang by May /,
1892, or if he secured his release on bail
within sixty days. He secured his re-
lease on bail, but the bogus nobleman was
finally convicted.
STORY OF THE WIFE.
Mrs. Lascelles AYERS that Vandevere
told her that her husband could not be re-
leased unless she signed certain papers, -
and she was forced to sign them for fear
of her husbands threats. She says Las
celles is a confidence man, swindler and
adventurer, and induced her to marry
him by fraud. His threats to kill her
were made repeatedly. A commission
was ordered to-day to examine witnesses
in Georgia.
