The Birth Of q IsTend.
An ertraordinary LEGEND bo, :,

An extraordinary legend has gain,
ed credence among the peasant. cl
Galieia says Vienna correspondent
ofthe London Leader. Paul Kr.,-,
eh, asmall farmer Of Novosiolla...
had a portrait Of the late Emt.r,
Elizabeth hanging in his beitoa
for some years.
Some time ago (accordinr r,
hulczycki in September last. ,h
month in which the empires, va. a.
sassinated) blood began to tr.c.',
down, the face Of the portrait.
Kulczycki showed the portrait 10
his neigabors, who were awe.t.
at the apparently supernatural .i.n.
Finally a Greek Catholic priest
named Smchewicz journeycd 10
Noyosiolka with a committee Of i'm.
resignation, composed Of persons DO.
scribed as "eminently reliable ana
Trustworthy"
This committee reported that
what the peasants had seen was
really blood, and recommended the
transfer Of the portrait into a
church as an object worthy Of ven
Grafton.
The legend was now complete. the
story was launched into publicity.
and actually found currenc, in
many papers, including the Meme
Freie Presse.
Needless to say, the whole thing
was an arrant fraud. This frame Of
the portrait is Of pine wood. which

backed up by the committee. de-
elared to be blood was merely the
resin which exuded from the pine

Fighting May Follow.

Louisville, April Though on
the verge OF collapse from fear of
arrest, Governor TAYLOR, who is
now at his home in Morgantown, is
expected to be in Louisville to-mor-
row, when the Court of Appeals
will hear argument on the case
which will decide the Governorship.
1t is believed that no attempt will
be made to arrest Taylor until he
is indicted, but he will not return
to Frankfort and has removed his
family from there, his wife also
withdrawing from the bank the
several thousand dollars subscrib-
ed in her name to help her hus-
bands fight. The decision Of the
Court Of Appeals has already been
discounted, and it is expected to be
in favor of the Democrats, who will
Immediately thereafter demand
possession Of the State House and
records, which demand, if present
plans are carried out, will be re-
fused and force will be necessary.
The Court of Appeals is to meet in
Louisville to pass upon the case
because Of the danger olassassina-
tion.
The week at Frankfort will also
be cventful. Judge Cantrll will
empanel tomorrow the grand jury
which is 10 investigate the Goebcl
assassination conspiracy, and it is
expected that the full time of the
court will be devoted to it. If the
proof of the Commonwealth is what
it claims to have there will be in
dctmcnts against ten or twelve
leaders of the Republican party,
besides those who have been ar
rested, some of whom stand at the
very head Of the party. Taylor ex-
poets to be indicted, and this has
caused his greatest alarm. An
extra force of deputy Sheritfs Is OH
duty in expectation of more trouble
from mountaineers. The Taylor
militia has been quietly increased,
but for what purpose has not been
developed.
"Tallow Dick" Combs, for whom
a warrant has been issued charg-
ing completely in the Goebel assas-
sination as accessory before the
fact, has dismissed the habeas
corpus proceedings which he
brought at Battyvillc and will be
brought TO Frankfort tomorrow.
The white Republicans are incens-
ed at him for this step, fearing that
he will peach Oh the alleged
leaders.

|SMYRNA In
DARKNESS.

Smyrna, Del, April lin consc-
quence OF the easy-aoing methods
Of the town officials, by which
Smyrna is deprived of almost all its
electric lighting, there has been
four accidents after dark in this
place within three days. The latest
and most serious Of these accidents
occurred tonight when a carriage
, containing Elva FAIRIES, Ella Riggs,
John Riley and Hugh Jones was
run into on Commerce street by an
unknown team.
! The carriage horse, taking fright
dashed down Market street, where
it came in contac. with an iron pole
fronting Faries' hardware store,
completely demolishlng the car
riage and throwing the occupants
into a heap OF old stones whic h
stood on the sidewalk. Miss Riggs
skull was fractured, and she is now
in a critical condition. Miss FAIRIES,
! left limb was broken and Mr..
Riley was severely injured about
the head. MIR. Jones escaped with
a few scratches. Stretchers were
hastily secured. and the injured
were removed to their homes. DR..
Clifton has little hope of Miss
Riggs recovery. Ths horse became
entangled in the wreck and the
efforts OF half dozen men were
required torclease it. Proper light
ing of The streets would have
prevented the accident. Though
| it occurred in tile heart oi the town
the highway was absolutely with
outlight.
: Last night, driving along Main
street. Clayton Durham ran into
tree and was thrown to the ground,
his skull also being fractured. The
same evening, two squares below
the Opera House, Charles Breh-
meier and CHARLES Campbc drove
into deep gully, ursetting their
carriage and sevcrly injured their
horse. On Friday evening Mrs.
Mary Eldridge walked offthe pave
ment into the gutter four feet
below, and is still confined to her
hone from the effects Of the injuries
she received.
, The town has been in darkness
Tor a considerable time now, the
boiler at the power house having
long ago outlived its usefulness,
and new one only having been
purchased recently. Except in the
business section, covering two
squares, the streets are in total
darkness every night. The officials
complaccntIy announce that lights
will burn again when the new
boiler has been set up. 1t will
arrive April 81.
