London, Dec. 31.-A disquieting STU
alton is developing at johannesburg.
According to the latest advices from
there the Play. is seetiing with discon-
tent, as it was on the eve Of the Jane
son raid, in consequence Of recent or
proposed government measures which
the Uitlanders, or outsiders, regard as
impositions. In addition, radical ami
mosities are intensifying ct the vexa-
tious treatment of the British-Indians
and Cape Beers, which is arousing
much bitterness. There was serious
development last week when q Boer
policeman murdered an Englishman
named Edgar, entering the latter's
house and shooting him. The police
man was arrested on the charge, but
upon the following day the charge was
reduced to one Of manslaughter, and
the policeman was allowed his liberty
on bail. The British agent demanded
a restitution of the charge Of murder,
and mass meeting, which was at
tended by 5000 Uitlanders, was held
at Johannesburg on Sunday to protest
against the murder of Edgar, and to
present the British consul with very
strongly worded petition to the queen,
reciting the wrongs Of the Uitlanders,
appealing for protection, and demand
ing such other steps as may be found
necessary to terminate the existing in
tolerable state Of affairs" There were
no speeches owing to the laws pro-
hibiting political gatherings. The
demonstration was vecy impressive.
The petition was presented to the con-
sui on the balcony of the consulate, the
whole multitude signifyissg consent by
uplifting their hands References to
the Boer policeman ELECTED shouts Of
"Lynch him." The meeting, however,
was peaceful with the exception Of a
slight ARRAY with the police at it's con-
clusion. The newspapers publish ven
omous articles on the subject. The
Boer organ, the Rand Post. discussed
the prospect Of war with Great Britain
and advised that on the "first British
act of war the women and children OF
johannesburg be given time to leave,
and that the whole place then be RACED,
and that the perpetrators of these tur-
bulent proceedings, if caught, should
he thrown into the deep shafts of the
mines with the debris Of their ma
chinery for costly shrouds." and, add
ing, that "the whole Of johannesburg
will exult If the Afrikander ward is
converted into q gigantic rubbish heap
as mighty tombstone for the shot
down authors of the monstrous deed"
The Pretoria Volkstein suggests that
Jan. 2 be observed as Jameson day,
and that DR.. Jameson be burned in ef-
fgy.

A serious question of Jail etiquette
mas arisen at Eureka Springs, Ark,
where four convicts absented them
selves without leave from the county
prison and went to a dance. In the
morning they were all back again at
the Jail door, clamoring for admission
and breakfast. The justly incensed
jailer refused to take them in, saying
they had abused his hospitality. The
matter was taken to higher authorities
and the exiles have obtained their old
quarters. On the whole, this decision
was just. Some slight punishment
should be inflicted on the absentees,
but a good deal can be excused to
high spirits, while it should not be
held that a mere frolicsome escapade
like this should forfeit a prisoners
legal right to food and shelter. There
is a time to dance, but one cannot be
dancing all the time. The jailer should
not allow personal pique to interfere
with grave constitutional privileges.

ALI BEY IN TROUBLE.

Ali Ferrough Bey, who represents the
sultan of Turkey at Washington, is the
central figure in a scandal which may
lead to his recall by the sublime porte.
II has been known for some time that
several young attaches of several le
cations were in the habit of going to
the house OF the Turkish minister
nightly and playing baccarat. For two
evenings of the week the stakes were
quite unlimited A dinner was always
served, including Turkish dishes, fin
est tobacco and the rarest of Greek and
other heavy wines. One of the young
men belonging to a famous diplomatic
corps lost all the money he had saved
to accomplish his marriage a few
months later. and in consequence he
lost one of the finest buds of the
Washington exclusive set. Another
lost so much money that he was COM
PEELED to resign and sail for Europe,
and then the chiefs of the several min

Escaped a Bad Accident.

Bedford Ind.-The nOrthbOund
night passenger train on the MOnOn
railway, while running rapidly at a
point two miles north of this city, mar
rowly escaped a disastrous accident.
The trucks of the tender jumped the
track, followed by the front trucks Of
the combination mail and baggage car,
and the train ran across a large fill in
this condition before it could be
stopped. The embankment at that
point is at least forty feet in height,
and had the train started downward,
the consequences might have been dis
astrous. No one was injured. The
train was delayed for several hours be-
fore it could proceed.

Great surprise was expressed in New
York city the other day by the an
nouncement that the sheriff had been
ordered to sell the handsome residence
of Gen. Z. Burd Grubb Of Edgewater
Park, near Trenton. y. j.. to satisfy
mortgage for $4,000. 1t had been
generally supposed the former minister
to Spain was in good circumstances,
and none OF his friends had even an
intimation that he was on the verge of
losing his home. The greatest sym
pathy has been expressed for Gen.
Grub. and it is more than likely that
some kind of a plan will be set afoot
for the purpose of trying to save him
from the modification and pain that
must necessarily follow the action
threatened Gen. Grubb has been
prominent figure in New Jersey poll
ties for many years. His fight at the
Republican convention in September,
1889. for nomination for governor is
memorable in the annals of New Jer-
sey politics. Backed by the entire
Grand Army of the Republic element of
the state he went before the conven-
tiOn On the first ballot he lacked
only a few votes of the nomination. On
the second ballot he swept the conven-
ton and was nominated by acclama-
ton. In the bitter campaign which
followed Gen. Grub was defeated and
Leon Abbott was elected. Gen. Grub
has been considered wealthy and his
entertainments at his residence at
Edgewater Park have been on grand
scale. He has given dinners at one
time or another to nearly all the for
eign representatives sent to this cOun
try, and his home has always been
open for the entertainment of soldiers.
