CASE OF Won N~BLEUTHER.

Photographs Found In Vienna of the
Alleged California Murderer.
Vienna, June 22.-The publication here
OF warrant issued in San Francisco for
the arrest of Joseph Vos Bieuther, an ex
officer of the Austrian army, who is
suppos ed to have murdered womannamed
Mrs. Lengfer, has led to the discovery Of
two photographs of Won Bleuther.
These photographs, when compared with
one of the pictures OF the murderer, which
has been received here, show that they
are not the pictures OF the same man. The
police here believe that the murderer,
prior to killing Mrs. Lengfer, had stolen
papers from the real Won Bleuther, which,
being found by the San Francisco police,
led them to believe that the murderer 6
true name was Won Bleuther.

man IN AihDhfnt
A decree issued by Judge Bruce Of the
federal court, sitting at Birmingham,
Ala, dismissing the case of the govern
ment against the Tennessee and Coosa
Railroad company and Hugh Carlisle,
makes Carlisle the largest land owner
and the wealthiest man in Alabama.
Congress in 1856 granted 20, 600 acres
Of land in Etowah and Marshall coun-
ties to aid i'll the construction of the
Tennessee and Coosa railroad. Carlisle
spent $2g0. 900 building the railroad
and for the land. Four years ago the
government, alleging the road had not
been built within the required ten years,
filed bill to Dust Carlisle, and congress
passed forfeiture act.
One thousand settlers on the lands
have since refused to pay rent, hoping
the government would win, thus en-
abling them to get a squatter's title.
Carlisle will now collect back rents,
amounting to about $1,000, 900. The
land is valuable. New York World.

Bob Cousins Of Iowa is the most mod

sions ago Mr.. Mercer, a member from
Nebraska still in the house, married a
young lady well known in Washington.
Inasmuch as Cousins is an intimate
friend Of Mercer. both being born IN
Iowa. the latter thought ii would be an
excellent idea to have Cousins act as
best man at the wedding Bob consent
ed The ceremony occurred After it
was over the minister kissed the bride,

the best man would be glad Of similar
courtesy extended to him, puckered mp
her lips TO Bob in order that he might
avail himself of the opportunity so gra-
ciously extended to him.
When Mr.. Cousins realized what was
expected of him in the premises, he
gave one look at the bride, turned so
red that even the darkest corner of the
church became as light as MONDAY,
bolted down the aisle and out of the
church. leaving the bride in rather an
embarrassed state Of mind, to say moth
ing of the mingled feelings Of surprise
and bewilderment of the other members
OF the bridal party and friends.
Both Mercer and Cousins are in the
present congress, but the latter had
rather talk on almost any subject than
ON certain incidents connected with the
wedding of the gentleman from Nebras-

cations In Sessions.

The National Council Of Patriotic Or
CARNATIONS has been in annual session
in Washington. Delegates from all the
prominent Patriotic orders were present,
representing over 5000. 600 members.
A platform Of principles was formulat-
ed as follows; Demanding that strin-
gent laws be enacted by congress to re-
strict immigration that no public funds
be Appropriated for any sectarian pur-
poses, and indorsing the proposed six
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States; that no state shall
grant the right of suffrage to any per-
son not a citizen of the United States;
demanding that all property, public
property alone excepted. be subject to
equal taxation.
A committee was appointed to attend
the national conventions of the political
parties for the purpose of inducing them
to incorporate these principles into their
platforms, and, in the event that none OF
the political parties recognizes these
principles, then steps will be taken to
form an American party. The National
Council is working to secure unity OF
political action by the membership OF all
Patriotic orders. Washington Post.

by Mr.. Cleveland, is very generally ex-

that this belief is not founded ON fact.

in Mr.. Cleveland's handwriting. Mr..
Cleveland returned to the White House
about o'clock ON Sunday.
He at once sent for Secretary Olney,
Secretary Lamont and Secretary Car

for comparatively short time. He
worked alone that night, and before IL

What Mr.. Little Found In a FLASK Of
Georgia Moonshine.

Georgia Moonshine.
A Mr. Little. who lives near Chestnut
mountain. some two or three weeks
ago, while in Gainesville, bought a
half pint of blind tiger whisky. He
and his brother, who was with him at
the time, drank a little over half of the
stuff, and upon arriving at home hid
ont the remainder to get morning nip.
Next morning, bright and early, he
went out there to where he had left the
flask, but when he picked it up to emp
ty the contents where they would do the
most good he noticed small gray sub
stance, about as large as a pea, floating
around in the bottle. He eyed the con
tents very critically, and with pang Of
regret at being knocked out Of his morn
ing dram he corked the bottle and laid
it away to await developments.
The thing began growing, and grow
ing rapidly. 1t is said to have grown
until it has almost filled the bottle and
is of toughness akin to rubber Innu-
merable tentacles have grown at inter
walls around the body, and it is assum-
ing very sataniclike appearance Emf
