New York. Dec. "a dispatch to the
World from London says:
The johannesburg CORRESPONDENT Of
the Mail telegraphs:
A remarkable story was told today
during the hearing of a charge of fraud
against Charles Gum. A statement
was put in by the prisoner in which
he declared that he was the brother Of
the late duke of Hamilton and left
England after fighting a duel For pri-
vate reasons his death was formally
announced and a sham funeral took
place.
Gum asserts that Robinson Of Ruth
erwellbaugh filled a coffin which was
sent to Hamilton Palace and placed in
the mausOleUm and says if the cof-
fin is opened and examined his state
ment can be verified"
The late duke of Hamilton died May
16, 1895, leaving no son, and was sue
ceeded by his kinsman, Alfred Douglas
Hamilton.
The late dukes only brother was
Charles George Archibald. It is record
ed in Burke's peerage that Charles was
/ born May 18, 1847, and died childless
in May, 1866. If Charles can prove that
he is alive he may get the dukedom

Murray Escapes Severe Punishment
by Promising to Leave New jersey.
The sentencing at Mays Landing. N.
j., of Stephen Murray, of Atlantic City.
for scalping railroad tickets, is another
instance of the ineXorableness of Jersey
justice, and the futility of hoping to tam
per with railroad tickets with impunity.
on the evening of Aug 5, Murray was
arrested in Atlantic City for scalping
Pennsylvania and other railroad tickets.
He pleaded mot guilty but was committed
to jail in default of $500 bali. He was
brought into court yesterday under four
distinct indictments and UNEXPECTEDLY
pleaded guilty under all. He was sen
fenced under one indictment to imprison-
ment for sixty days from the date of his
incarceration, and to pay a fine of 800 and
costs. He also promised to leave the state
and never to engage in ticket scalping
again. The other three indictments are
held over his head as a further inslr-
ance of good conduct
The prosecution of this case was found
ed on Information furnished by the Penn
sylVania Railroad Company. This com
pany has been Instrumental in bringing
other violators of the ticket scalping law
to justice, owing to the deception 3rac-
ticed on their patrons, and the annoy
ances and Inconvenience which they are
consequently put 10.
The practice of scalping railroad tickets
is a nefarous one, and it is to be hoped
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Will con
tinue its good work until the insidious
and papable evil is entirely eradicated-
