PRINCE sCHwARzENB BERG.
Australian Nobleman Who Was in
the Service of the Mahdi.

itisaSsertcd at Cairo and Vienna thatthe
Austrian cavalry officer who was arrested
10y the English authorities on the way from
Suakim TO EeFbeT, on the Nile, dressed IN
the costume of a deTvish, is no other than
young Prince Alloys SchwarZenberg, who
about four years ago created a sensation in
Austria and Germany 10y deserting the Ian
Geg Tegim ent in which he was serving as
second Lieutenant, and fleeing to Italy in
the company OF a variety hall actress
Unfortunately there were so .any ire
mediable financial scrapes of particularly
unsavoTy character, especially in connection
with his career on the turf. that there was
no question Of his ever returning to Austria,
and his two sisters were SO heaTtbroken by
his disgrace, that, although they Were re-
nowned for their beauty and surrounded by
admirers of high degree, yet withina month
after his they withdrew from
the woTid, took the vows of nuns and went
into a convent for the remainder of their
days
Young Prince Schwarzenberg, whose rae
ing stable was put to the hammer within
a fortnight after his flight, soon tired of his
fair companion and deserted her. Under
the name OF Hartmann he came to this
country, and for a short time taught riding
in one OF the riding academies near Central
Park, New York But he did not keep lis
place long, drifted back to Europe, m ade is
way 10 Egypt, whence in the company of
two or three foreigners like him self he
stole away toward the dervishes. The lit
tie party was received with open arms ty
the Mahdi, and it Is under their supesin-
tendence that the khaljfa is Transforming
Omdurman into fortress of the European
type.
There are quite q number of foreigners in
the service ofthe Mahdi, Osman Digna him
self, the Mahdiis principal lieutenant and
mostcelebrated general Icing Frenchman.
The prince had been TO Constantinople to
arrange for the supply Of arms and smmuni-
ton to the Mahdi, and wason his way back
toKhartoum when captured by the English.
on his person Were found a number of drill
hooks in Arabic, containing instruction
as to how dervishes, ned with swords,
spears and rifles 81 Ould attack disciplined
troops.
In view of his rank and family it is un-
likely that he will be shot or even detained
for any length Of time in prison, and the
probabilities are that he viii be placed on
some vessel leaving Egypt for French or
italian port 1t may be added thathe had
reached the African GA st of the Red Seaon

conveyed to Jeddah on board one of the

EARTHQUAKES OBSERVATIONS.
Prof. John Milne Discusses GirdIe
of stations for the work.

At the Lonodn institution recently Prof
John Milne delivered a lecture on ''Unfelt
Movements OF the Earth'S Crust" The
lecturer concluded by saying that he had
spent twenty years OF his life in Japan, n
country which was remarkable among other
things for its earthquakes. AS rule they
amounted TO about 500 a year, but for
thelast eight or nine years they had reached
about l, 600 annually, or three day.
These earthquakes made their effects felt
in all quarters Of the world. He had an
instrument at his residence in the Isle OF
Wight from which he picked up me essages
from distant lands, including Japan. Only
recently he knew there had been an earth
quake there from the indication OF his in
strument, and when the mail came TO hand
he found that the only mistake he had
made was 10y putting the event one minute
earlier than the survivors reckoned it at.
They could learn a great deal from ca rth-
Quakes, and there ought to be gir1le
OF observing stations around the world
Prof. Milne went on to describe the
nature OF the interior of the earth as far
as it has been aScertained. The earth was
very rigid, and If it was not so it would
be pulled about in the same way as the
ocean is, in order to provide the tides.
1t was very heavy and the weight in
creased with the depth. Inside it was
hot, and they knew that in craters, ETC.,
the heat would fuse rocks. In every part
Of the world the deeper they went the
greater would they find the heat. The
lecturer proceeded to describe diurnal
motions Of the earth pulsations, tremors,
etc, and, reverting to the subject of
earthquakes, said that many of them which
occurred in the depths of the sea pro-
duced unfelt movements on dry land
Until we had proper observatories it
would be impossible to locate these
submarine disturbances.
In Japan there were 967 observatories,
and minute records and dmaps were made of
every earthquake which occurred. Prof
Milne then displayed an interesting series
of photographs, and apparatus, etc, for
recording earthquakes. and incidentally
observed that pheaSants were excellent
indicators of a coming disturbance. while
geese were pretty good" The scientific
explanation Of the geese which saved the
Roman capital was that they felt the
preliminary tremors." caused by the ad-
vaneing enemy. Dogs We're useless as
earthquake indicators, but horses would
kick in their stables. When a blow was
struck on one side of the globe it set
the whole of the earth and the buildings
on it in q move; but there were some move
ments incapable of explanation at present.
A series of views illustrative Of the dire
effects of earthquakes and volcanic ex-
plosions In Japan followed. The lecturer
stated that the result of the scientific oh.
servations in that country was that an
earthquake which few years ago would
have done damage tothe extent of $40 .0oO.-
600 would now only cost So 200. Theyha
learned among other things how to con-
struct earthquake-proof houses. Chicago

ment.
James Morgan, the young man who
burned stable belonging TO his aged
father, John Morgan, was brought up to
the bar. His counsel was not present.
but as ii has now been over month since
Morgan was convicted on the charge Of
arson, sentence was pronounced.
The evidence showed that Morgan be-
came drunk on the day in question, and
because his father refused him money he
threatened To burn the place. He went
into the stable and soon afterward flames
were discovered. During the excitement in
cident to the fire a neighbor of Morgan
dropped dead.
The prisoner was sentenced to the New
Jersey State Prison for four years at hard

Admiral Kirkland, Gen PenrOse and others,
was sentenced to two years at the prison.
The letters contained applications for loans,
and Smith was not detected until he sent
one OF them to Commander Melville, who
estigatedandlearnedtha the " ritter was
fraud, and not Admiral Kirkland, as
represented.
Frank Kay, colored, received a two
years sentence for larceny from the per-
son of Katherine Gaffeuy, whom he stopped

THE EARLY TRADING LIMITED.
The General List, However, Held
ToIerably Firm Du ring the Day

New York, JAN 22.-There was little of
interest to the stock market during the
first hour of business. Trading was linn
tied and entirely of professional charac
ter.
Considering the break in Hooking Valley
and Long Island yesterday, the general
list was held tolerably firm. The anthra-
cite coalers, however, were exceptions and
ruled weak, Delaware and Hudson falling
l IA to 100 IA, Jersey Central 1 IA to
SO Ia, and Reading 3-S to 26 3-8 on L.
ports of unsatisfactory trade conditions.
The Hooking Valley issues continued
to sag, the common declining 1-2 to 8;
Con SIS, 3 to 80, and the general 6's,
3 1-2, to II. The official denials of the
receivership rumors seem to have no
weight with holders of the securities of
the company, and there is steady pressure
to sell.
Long Island brought Al seller thirty
days. Expert Little's statement OF the
company's condition is expected 10 be
unfavorable. According to TumoF, the
company has floating debt of something
like million dollars and has not earned
a dividend since SSS.
The general market, after a decline of
1-S and 1 ii per cent, recovered most
OF the loss, and at IL O'Clock was firm

The security market was firm after IL

sues Consol per cent bonds made a fur

stock was less active at 3-4a1O. In the
general list Manhattan, General Electric,
Jersey Central, Sugar and all the grangers
were all shade higher.
Trading continued on small scale.
