A MARQUIS IN JAIL.
He Had Murdered His Stepson in Ma
pies Six Years Ago.

He Had Murdered His StepSon in Ma
pies Six Years AGO.
From time to time the Partisan news
papers contain advertisements to the eff
feet that noblemen of ancient lineage and
authentic title are prepared, for Il consid-
Grafton, to marry wealthy heiresses Of
plebeian birth who, either by reason of
deformity or accidents" experience diff
Guilty in finding husband. 1t was an
advertisement of this kind that led the
Marquis de Nayve to place his hand and
his name at the disposal of the daughter
OF an enormously wealthy manufacturer
and legally recognize as his own the little
boy to whom she had given birth q year
before her marriage, the result of her be-
travail by Il gardener.
The marquis was well known in the
American colony in Paris in those days
as an heiress hunter. He belonged to
most of the leading clubs, including the
Jockey, and had squandered two for
tunes in succession on the turf and at
the card-table. After his marriage the
marquis established himself at the Cha
teau de Presles, and, thanks to his
wealth and to his name, soon blossOmed
forth into one of the most influential
magnates of the district, filling among
other Offices that of mayor of Sidlallles.
1t would appear that the marquis discoV-
cred that his wife was infinitely fonder
OF ner son than OF nlnlSelf, ana JnaC sue
had arranged, in the event of her death,
to bequeath to the lad the major part of
her fortune, leaving the marquis with
mere pittance.
Keeping this knowledge to himself, he
started off with his stepson for tour OF
Italy, and reached Naples While walk
ing along the seashore there on the out
skirts of the city his stepson disappeared,
the corpse being found five days later
floating in the water with Il poniard
wound in the back but with no document
Or clue to his identity. The marquis left
Naples Immediately without notifying
any of the authorities, and on his return
home explained the lads disappearance
on the plea that he had committed sui
eide, which,, owing to the taciturn and
peculiar disposition of the boy, did not
sound so improbable.
This took place six years ago fort
night back the marquis, on returning
home from a trip in Switzerland, was ar
rested ut the railroad station by the
gendarmes, marched i'll handouts to the
nelghbOring town and there imprisoned
on charge of having murdered the boy.
The case bids fair to develop into a
cause celebre, and its details promise to
prove as sensational as those of any OF
Gaboriau's Philadelphia Press.

Engraving with Dynamite.

One of the experiments made by those
whose business is to test the strength of
dynamite, gun cotton and other explosives,
is to place fresh plucked leaves between
two plates of panel steel and explode
cartridges on the upper plate The recoil
in such cases is so great and sudden that
the upper plate is driven downward with
such force and rapidity as to catch exact
of the leaves before their
delicate ribs have time to give way to the
force of the blow. This novel method Of
is one Of the wonders of the
century.-St. Louis Republic,

Probably the Oldest dog in Philadel-
phia is Dash, setter belonging to S.

though totally blind, can find his way
very well wherever he wants to go. He
has developed numerous characteristic
banks to express his wants, which are at
tended to. Thus, he has bark which
means open the door, and another indicat-

is near, and even in a crowd will go up to

Col. Joseph Medill is still pegging

Colonel is too modest to name the best
man in Chicago for the position-he
leaves thai to the good Judgment OF a
discerning public, knowing that there
can be but one verdict ON the subject,
and confident that he can see him by
the aid OF a looking-glass. Chicago

a few hundred miles of st. Louis and
for many years the recipient OF the
overflow or redundant population of
this great metropolis. it could not help
being that. But we insist that Sena-
tors are elected to represent States and
not cities. and that If Col. Medill is to
remain in the field it must be on the
ground that he is the best man for the
position. not alone in the city of Chi

There is already more hopeful tone
in the Bradford Market. consequent
upon the inquiries from the United
States. The beneficial effects OF the
Wilson Tariff were not felt immedia-
tely. owing to the heavey stocks held
in hand by American importers. These
have now been reduced, and orders
are being placed more freely. A we'll
known firm has received an order for
$4,000 pieces of coatings for America,
and it is stated hat four orders. each
of the value of about 5000. have
been placed in the same district by
American buyers. We learn that a
similar recovery is being experienced
in Sheffield, and it is not unreasonable
to expect that By the end of the year
British trade with the United States
will be comparatively brisk.
