named. and on May 10th collected $3.50,
mt on his Sunday clothes and, leaving
his wife and children in New Utrecht,

amount stolen to bring him back. and
in this regard it will prove a salutary
lesson to wouldbe eInbezzlerS.
Lord Randolph Churchill Arrives.
On the White Star steamer Majestic,
which arrived yesterday, were Lord
Randolph and Lady Churchill. Lord
Randall looked i'll and had a weary
and jaded appearance. Lady Churchill
looked as charming as ever and hardly
a dav older than when she was Miss
Jerome. His lOrdship, as soon as he
left the vessel, took a seat in a carnage
where he awaited Lady Churchill. lie
declined to be interviewed, saying he
had nothing of importance to communl-
cate on English political affairs, and
had come here solely for the benefit OF
his health. He Intends to emaln at the
Hotel Waldorf for a few days. when he
will take a trip through the United
States and Canada
That Lord Churchill may sit in the
house OF lords is by no means improba-
BILE. as his nephew, the present Duke OF
Marlborough. is in exceedingly feeble
health. and should he not outlive Lord
Randolph, the latter would succeed to
the title. AS the Duke of Marlborough
has no issue, the title must ultimately
fall to Lord RandOlph's oldest son.

Could Not Escape the Tax.
The removal of the Gould family to
Lakewood and Tarrytown failed in its
object. which was to evade taxation in
New York city of their enormous
wealth. The tax assessors assumed that
the Goulds did not carry their stocks
and bonds with them to their suburban
home. but preferred the security Of
safety deposit vaults on Manhattan
island, and therefore, in the absence Of
"a new return. retained the assessment
on a valuation on $40, 700, 600 as founc
on the books.
