HE SUED THE FRINGE OF WALES.
But the Court Dismissed the Action as an
 Abuse of the Legal Process,


 London, Nov. 4,-There was an eX- traordiaary case heard before the lord mayors court to-day, when a man named Hinde sued the Prince of Wales to recover ,e60,00O, alleged to have been wrongfully paid him by the late Under Sheriff Croll, who was the liqui- dator of the United Kingdom Electric Telegraph company The plaintiff de- clared the money belonged to a cer- tain Mr. Allen, of whose estate he was the assignee, and he further claimed the sum of $150,000 from Lord" Suffolk, alleging that the latter had suborned Croll to commit perjury before Lord Bramwell at the trial in 1877, in connec- tion with the liquidation.
 Sir George Lewis, i0 behalf of the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Suf- folk, asked that the proceedings be quashed on the ground that the allega- tions were nothing more than a frivo- lous and vexatious tissue of nonsense and he submitted an affidavit to that effect.
 The plaintiff then addressed the court, declaring he had been told that the Prince of Wales, received the money referred to, and he then pro- ceeded to charge Lord Bramweu with defrauding Aliens widow out of G15O,- 900 in order to obtain promotion and a peerage. The plaintiff was here stop ped by the court with the warning to speak respectfully of judges. Finally the court stopped and dismissed the action, which was described as being "an abuse of the process of the court :"

MARRIED IN 4 LIONS CAGE.
A Unique Ceremony Performed in the Zno
 at Boston.

Boston, Nov. Ak real marriage in a cage of lions was the chief, unique and almost picturesque attraction at the Zoo tonight and the bridal guests were fully 1000 in number. The young, hap py and blushing couple, Miss Louise Charlotte Wiberg of Boston and Arthur St. Andrassey of Perth Amboy, N. J., were made man and wife in legal fash ion, with Rev. George Reader of this city officiating. The bridal march was quite a feature in itself for it was to the music of an organ and the chanting of boy chorus.
 The clergyman discreetly remained without the lions cage but the couple and the keeper stood within it. The knot was tied amid enthusiastic ap- plause of the guests. The lions behav- ed nicely and showed no disposition to interpose objection to the marriage.

WHAT cnoKER SAID TO STEAD.
Wanted All the New York Newspapers
 Against Him.

Against Him.
 London, Nov. 4.-An Englishman who does not cherish totally gloomy view of the result of the recent election in Greater New York is William T. Stead, the we'll known newspaper man, who recently figured in the public eye here as the sponsor of MT. Richard Croker, because of his somewhat flattering pen portrait of the Tammany chieftain, and who can discern gleam of hope of good government piercing the clouds under which the citizens of the United States in some quarters are said to be buried.
 MT. Stead gave .his views to a repre- sentative of the Associated Press ~to- day, in the original phrases which char acterized his utterances MT. Croker, it appears, while conversing with MT. Stead, predicted that the Tammany majority would be one hundred thou sand, adding:
 "If were to run for mayor, should want all the newspapers against me-"
 MT Croker added, says MT. Stead: "If you intend to write about me please say that Tammany must give New York the best government it ever had. New York is the ideal city of the world"
 MT. Stead continued: "It is a great vindication of Tammany and Croker and gives them wonderful opportuni- ty, though it does not wipe out the slate of the past. Nothing could erase the Lexow revelations, but many men who in struggling to the front sometimes find it necessary to do shady things would be superior to such temptations after having achieved position.
 Becky Sharp said, It is easy to be virtuous on a thousand year. Tam many and Croker have the thousand 8 year.
 "The election must give a great i'm petus to Bryanism."
 About the election generally, MT Stead was quite cheerful, saying: 'The Chicago platform minus the nonsense about free silver-if that is what Tam many's victory means-won't scare tht English. To most of us our plutocrat: seem a much greater menace to tht commonwealth than the democrats even if they do swear by Croker ant Tammany Hall. The republican cam paign fund staggered us much more than the victory of Van Wyck."

A Mysterious Case Engaging the Attention
 of tIa Rnstou PpIica

Boston, Nov. 4.-Alice Brown, thirty years old, boarder at the house of Ed win M. Hurd, 15 Corning street, this city, was found dead to-day under sus- picious circumstances.

This morning about three o'clock she was in the hallway of the house talking to a. man. She went up- stairs to her room on the second floor. This was the last seen of her until this morning, when she was found lying on the bed, fully dressed, dead. There was 8 bed sheet tied in knot. When the occupants of the house examined the body they found discolorations around her neck.

Fl PaSO'S Dam.

Secretary Olney and Minister Ro-
nero who represents the Mexican gov
eminent at Washington, are engaged
in a controversy involving some novel
points. The former has obtained from
Attorney General Harmon an opinion,
having an important bearing on the
case, which relates to large indem-
nifty claim on the part Of Mexico for
the diversion by our citizens of the
waters of the Rio Grande.
Minister Romero states in a long
official letter that the city CT Paso del
Norte has existed for more than 300
years, during almost ali of which time
its people enjoyed the use Of the waters
of the Rio Grande for the irrigation Of
their lands. As that city and the dis
trIcts within its jurisdiction did not
water per second-which was an almost
infinitesmimal portion of the volume
of water. even in times of sever est
drought-they had sufficient water for
their crops until about len years ago
when q great many trenches were dug
in Colorado, especially in the San Luis
valley and in New Mexico, through
which the upper Rio Grande and it's
affluents flow, so greatly diminishing
the water in the river at Ell Paso, that
except when rains happen to be abund-
ant, there is scarcity OF water from
the middle of June until March.
One year the river CHANGED to be en-
tirely dry, no crops were raised and
even fruit trees began to wither.
There has been a subsequent reduction
in the price of land.
A great hardship has been imposed
on the people and there has been a
diminutiou in population in ten years
by one half. Minister Romero also
states than an American army officer
Ia 1850 ascended thu rive r
to point several Kilometres above
Paso del Norte, circumstance, which,
to his mind. shows that the river
was navigable at that point
The state department people have,
consulted the report of this incident
the document being on file in the war
department, and it appeared that the
officer, quartermaster named Love.
made the trip under orders in a small
keel boat, drawing eighteen inches of
water. He was instructed to reach the
highest attainable point, and after
Juggling his row boat around one or
two falls he could get no further up the
river than $50 miles below Ell Paso.
Minister Romero contended that the
Colorado and New Mexican irrigation
bitches came within the prohibitions of
the old treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
against any work which interrupts
navigation.
Attorney General Harmon says the
article of the Guadalupe Hidalgo
treaty bearing on the incident is limit
ed in terms to that part of the Rio
Grande lying below the southern
boundary OF New Mexico, and applies

THE MEXICAN FOOT BALL GAM
What the Press Says-Warm Recep-
ton for Texas Club.

Ell Nacional: "The game appeared
| to MeXicans present to be somewhat
rough, as well as savage, unpublished
and dangerous. 1t is not likely that
the game will become naturalized
| here"
Ell Mundo: 1.-THE funny part OF it fs
that after the rough and tumble strug-
gle, the players came away as happy
and as friendly with one and other as
if they had just taken drink together.
We are decidedly of the opinion that
this game will not find many votaries
here. Our temperament and charac-
ter would not allow of it. Each game
would degenerate into a row. On re-
ceiving a blow, we could not continue
to think of the ball. We are not made
that way"
Ell TEMPO: ut is to be hoped that
this game will not become acclimstized
amongst US. for in it brute force plays
a greater part than skill"
New York Sun: Fun and instruc-
ton in the art of war are in store for
Mexico. Two American football teams
are going down there for exercise. and
if the MeXicanS attend the perform
ances they will learn new excitement
Compared with an ordinary bull fight,
a football game of the proper vivacity
| is as Waterloo to jackstones. War
may cease some time, when the art of
killing has reached perfection, but
| football will be Initiating the muscles
and the lungs of the world when all the
peace societies have wound up business
and dissolved"
San Antonio Express: There is 60
| ing to be some trouble in University
circles when the Varsity football
team returns from its trip into the
heart of Mexico. They played a game
of football yesterday in the City OF
Mexico and by doing SO violated the
promise they made the faculty before
they departed.
1.-The promise was that they would not
play game on Sunday. 1t is true the
boys are not in America, but they
violated one of the rules of the instltu-
tion and will be severely reprimanded
when they return.
1.-THE players that took part in the
game will probably be disqualified from
ever playing any more on the gridiron
while they are members Of the Uuiver-
sity. The rumor was current on the
streets today that they would be ex-
PEELED, but a mere act OF Sabbath desc
Grafton would hardly justify an ex-
pulslon.
THE boys will be taught severe
lesson just the same. and Austin may
expect football games of the future to
be few and far between"
