FATHER SUES DAUGHTER.
Accuses Her of Attempting to Defraud
Him of Estata.

New York, Sept. 12.-Justice Cohen in
the supreme court yesterday declined
to set aside an attachment granted
against the property of Bertha NJ.
Kraft, and also for the cancellation of
a lis pendens, fled by him against her
property.
Kraft obtained the attachment on the
ground that his daughter was about to
leave the state in order to defraud her
creditors, of whom he was one. It APP
peared that, when Kraft's first wife
died, in December, 1896, she left about
81, 500 in cash, two mortgages for 81, 500,
and leasehOld interest in half the
premises No. 223 West Twelfth street.
The defendants father alleges that she
collected the amount due on the mort
gage, and went to San Francisco.
Miss Kraft said she paid to her father
his share Of the estate. She said he
had married again, and was DESTROYS of
getting all the property of her mother
for his second wife.
Among the exhibits handed to Justice
Cohen was a letter from the defendant
to her father, dated at San Francisco.
Parts of it are unprintable, and the
whole letter is made up Of violent ac-
cusatiOns. 1t says that her father
drove her out Of the house to a life of
shame, and that she is living in the
Chinese quarter among the lowest and
most depraVed of San F'ranciscO's in
habitants. I am living a dissolute life.
I have no shame. I only wish to bring
shame on you says the daughter to
come an opium "fend," and has no
wish to be reclaimed. She declares she
will kill her father and warns him to
keep out of her way.

and, besides, he has a heart as well as
brain, and you know that can't be said
about every statesman.
1.-The men at Camp Cuba Iibre, where
Colonel Bryan now is, share my respect
for him. 1t is not putting it a bit too
strongly to say that they fairly idolize
him. And small wonder. None is too
insignificant to deserve notice at his
hands, and you would think he was
king and they were his subjects If you
could only see him among them, and
when I say king 1 mean one of that

their subjects.

tients in their narrow, almost comfort

1T is his custom to stop at nearly ev-
cry bedside and make a cordial remark
to each sufferer, and they all know him

supply. II necessary he takes the money
out Of his own pocket, rather than see
them do without that which might
tighten the burden of disease and con-
hnement between dreary walls. The
soldiers like General F'itzhugh Lee, in
whose corps Colonel Bryan's regiment
is, but they have a far stronger and
warmer feeling for the Nebraskan than
for the Virginian. The latter is re-
served, though kind and pleasant in his
ways, but Colonel Bryan treats all those
under him as if they were his personal
friends.
when 7 first went into the service I
could not help being prejudiced against
my colonel. 1t was natural. He is a

WOE AMONG HUNGARIANS.
Bulak Has Gone to Hungary to Com
fort Their Wives.

New York, Sept. 12.-Eighteen young
men in Newark, hailing from the Hun
garian town of Slavodkar are at their
wits ends. They are all married, but
their wives are in Hungary. Caspar
BUlak, the only unmarried member of
the Slavodkar colony in Newark, sailed
for Hungary a few days ago. Just af-
ter he left, Charles Kredatus received
a copy Of the ZipsOr BOths, a Budapest
newspaper, containing this article:
Let the brides of our young men in
Newark City, which is in America, put
on the widows dress for a while. 1t is
sad to tell it, but the only one alive of
all our young men from Slavodkar is
Caspar Bulak, and he is coming home
to say kind words to the widows. In a
fine fever of national feeling for Hun
garia, the other eighteen, headed by
Charles Kredatus, made themselves
into an army to force back from the
Americans the taken island of Cuba
and to make it a Hungarian place for
all good Hungarians. Michael Verga
and George Kaperny were his leading
men and another was Michael Disco.
Sad it is to tell the story. The Carlist
party cut off the head from our friend
kredatuS, so leaving the army with no
head. They hanged George Kaperny
and cut off the four legs of Michael
Verga and Michael Disco. John
Zaporek, Joseph Gronsky, John Klar-
max and Petrus Vrodny they roasted
alive and the other ten they finished
with other horrible accomplishments.
Our hearts are beating for those eigh-
teen young widows.
Kredatus and seven others Of the
young men named in the article went
before Justice Germanus in Newark
yesterday and asked that Bulak be pre-
vented from consOling their wives,
Bulak, Kredatus said, had unsuccess-
fully courted each and every one Of
their wives in Slavodkar Now the I'M
scrupulous dog was going back to
marry one of them, on the strength Of
the sad news he had caused to be pub
Hshed in the Zipsor Boths. Germanus
said he would write a letter to the
Slavodkar authorities, and would send
any moneys to the young women that
were handed to him. Kredatus prom
ised to bring into court the other men
who were reported as dead.

ON A HUNT FOR THE HOGS.
Lively Times Where a Live Stock
Train Was Wrecked.

Chester, Mass, Sept 12.-Every body
here has been on a hog hunt. They
have found it a more profitable and not
less exciting pastime than the annual
fox hunt. There were 500 hogs that es-
capped from the live stock train that
broke apart and was wrecked on Friday
and such animals as lived have been in
seclusion in the woods or feeding on the
fertile gardens in the neighborhood. In
defense of their garden patches the res
idents have armed themselves with RI
f1es, shotguns, and other weapons, and
when not in pursuit sit on guard on
their fences or in their doorways
The church services Yesterday were
but SHINY attended, eand while the con-
gregationS were dispensing they met
squad of men and boys in pursuit Of a
black porker, which charged in on the
churchgoerS, upsetting several. A large
number of railroad employees organized
a company to hunt hogs. They have
been hard at it for two days, and they
were a tired looking lot as they sat on
the station platform this afternoon.
Sure, an hog is it?" said one. TITS
Spaniards they are. Didn't see Blan-
co himself going up the hill, and he
wouldn't remain, but resigned before I
got him, and there was Weyler with his
hump back and me after him. Go
easy says I, till catch ye,' but when
I thought he went one way he went the
other, and didn't go either, but went be-
tween me legs and proceeded with me
on his back sitting as stiff as at me own
wake. Hold easy says I. Where
are We taking me? Let me alone and
I'll have ye,' but never would he mind,
but landed me in a barbed wire fence,
and it's nothing but the huke of me

This describes what has been going on
in town for two days. Running as they
never ran before, the railroad men have
succeeded in capturing ten carloads of
hogs, but just as many more roam at

EARL LOVED VIRGINIA.
offered Her Diamonds 800 Years Old
and He Total Stranger.

New York. Sept. 12.-It has happened
again. The English earl with the ped
igree as long as that of a prize winner
at a bench show, has visited the coun-
try and has had his heart warped while
sitting in the front row Of a theater.
This time it is Miss Virginia Earle of
Days company who was the object Of
his attentions, and for whose sake he
was willing to shovel the family dia-
mOnds into the fire.
The young man saw Miss Earle the
first night of 1.-The Runaway Girl" He
went out to the box office and bought
the same seat for several nights, and
since then has occupied it. The piece
did not interest him, but when the fair
Virginia made her entrance he sat and
mooned The thermometer in the the
alter went to 80, but he waited for Vir-
ginia, and his eyes followed her. The
rest of the story is told by Miss Earle.
When seen last night she said:

of them. He has offered to make me
presents. He wrote offering me a dia-
mond butterfly, valued at 5000, that
had been in his family 300 years.
'He signs himself Lord Cecil Wilton
and gives his address as No. 80 East
Tenth street.
HE wrote me that he must see me,
as he was leaving the city in 48 hours. I
haven't answered that note, either. All
his notes have been gentlemanly in
tone, and beyond the impertinence of
being addressed by a total stranger,
there was nothing in them that could
take offense at. I really feel sorry for
the poor boy"

CONSTABLES TAKE A CITY.
Dozen Go Armed to Arrest officers
and q JuStice.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Twelve Chicago
consta bles, armed with reVOlVers, war
rants and clubs, marched three abreast
up the main street in Riverdale. They
was the victim of a justice court The
officers had heard that Riverdale peo-
pie for whom they had warrants would
resist arrest, but none was found to
Withstand the show of force.
Justice Wallace issued the warrants
which the officers went to serve. A
warrant for Justice Shaefer charged
him with malfeasance in office; one for
Constable Baungarten charged him
with false arrest. Two citizens, Rog-
ney and Jackson, were charged with as
sault.
Constable James McInerney says he
went to Justice Schaefer's court Fri
day to execute a repleVin writ Rooney
and Jackson, he declares, there assault
ed him, and when he attempted to de-
fend himself Constable Baumgarten
placed him under arrest Justice
Schaefer, he says, ordered him thrown
into Jail and refused to allow him to be
released on bail for seven hours. When
released he was arraigned for disorder

until today. The trial did not take
place, the justice leaving town. The
other three defendants were brought in
and their cases continued before JUS

Constable Biedernnan swore out a
warrant before Justice Wallace at the
same time against Constable Harring

Forty Gallons of Gasoline EX-
plOde in Cellar
Of a Grocery Store, Wreckfng
Three Buildings.
FOUR PEOPLE DEAD
And Ten Injured, the Known
List of Casualties.
Tenants in Upper Stories Were
at Supper.
FOUR PEOPLE DEAD

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-By the explo-
sion of forty gallons of gasoline in the
cellar of a grocery store at 1444 South
street, last night, surely four, and pos
sibly dozen more lives were lost.
The dead are:
Samuel Schattenstein, keeper of the
grocery store.
His 19-year-old son, Abraham.
A 10-months-old child named Gold
berg.
The fourth body was that of girl
about 10 years old.
How the explosion occurred is yet I'M
known. The front of 1444 was blown
out and this was followed by the col
lapse of the structure and numbers 1442,
occupied by Morris Goldberg's furniture
store, and 1446, Louis Sallanose's shoe
store. The west wall of 1440, occupied
by L. Wagner's clothing store, was
blown out. All the buildings were of
brick, three stories in height.
In the confusion and excitement
following the disaster it is yet impossi-
BILE to secure anything like an accurate
census of the occupants, but it is gen.
orally stated that the upper floors were
crowded with families, huddled togeth-
er in tenement fashion.
Coming as it did at the supper hour,
1t is feared the loss of life will be hea-
Wy. The list of injured will be long.
They were taken to all the hospitals
within a radius of a mile.
After the recovery of the four bodies
the authorities decided to postpone the
search for additional victims until to-
day, thus obviating the dangers and de-
lays of working upon the mass of de-
bris and wreckage in the darkness.
The corpseS of Schattenstein and his
son were picked up on the steps of No.
1444. The unidentified 10-year-old girl
was found pinioned by a mass of tim
bers in the rear of the same building,
and the Goldberg child died while be-
ing taken to a hospital.
Tba iUiI1re1 ar the rd fa1
are:
L. Schattenstein, aged s, 1acerated
scalp, condition serious.
Mary Healey, aged 65, fractured leg.
