OFFICE THREATENED AND THE ISSUE OF THE “LIDERAL” NEWSPAPER CAPTURED AND THROWN OVERBOARD. Yesterday the regular edition of the Liberal, the readjuster newspaper published by Dr. ‘Thomas Foster, in Alexandria, Va., did not ap- pear in that city. Messrs. J. M. Hill & Com- apy who have been printing it there for the pub- isher, were waited upon yesterday morning and informed that if the paper was -worked 0 im their office, the establishment would be gutted. The forms were therefore sent to this city, and the paper as printed here, contained the following: “TWELVE O'CLOCK P. M.—Mr. Hill, the job printer, who had contracted to print our paper on his steam job press, has just declined to do so on the ground of threatened injury to his business and loss of the corporation job print- ing. 1t seems he was visited by the two Smiths, Jim Burnett and others of that gang, who bull- dozed him into refusing. This forces us to send our forms to Washington to be pressed. Vipers! You gnaw a file.” It appears the forms were closely watched, and when Mr. John Hunter, in charge of the bundle of printed copies of the paper was re- turning with them trom thiscity to Alexandria in the boat, two men took the bundle from him by force and threw it overboard. Consequently the subscribers failed to receive their papers. It will be remembered that Dr. Foster, who {3 a ‘Treasury department clerk here, but resides in Alexandria, was recently attacked at his resi- dence there by two men. Subsequently Robert Ballenger and George Nowland were arrested | on suspicion, but were released after trial on Monday, on the ground of Insufficient evidence. It Is Said that ‘these are the same men who pitched the papers overboard yesterday. Amusements, &C.

EUGENE FAIRFAX WILLIAMSON IN THE NEW YORK TOMBS—HIS CAREER, ETC. Eugene Fairfax Williamson,alias “Gentleman Joe” and “High Churchman,” who for so long a poe he has been annoying Rev. Dr. Dix, rec- torof Trinity Church parish, New York, and a full account of whose arrest in Baltimore Wed- nesday was published in the Sun, arrived in New York yesterday morning in charge of Gen- eral Superintendent James Gaylor, and taken to a private room in the post office. Dr. Dix was soon there, and discovered that Williamson was about nine years ago a Sunday school teacher in ‘Trinty Chapel, which position he left under a cloud. The prisoner begged for mercy, and as- sured Dr. Dix tisat he had no thought or inten- tion of levying blackmail upon him. He dis- claimed any personal feeling against Dr. Di: Superintendent Gaylor said that the prisoner confessed to him that in sending those letters about the country he had no bad motive, and that it was his wayof having fun. As far as can be ascertained he is well off, and 1s con- nected with one of the old Virginia families. “I am satisfied,” said Mr. Gaylor, “that he bad no intention of levying blackmail, but was guided entirely in his work by some insane impulse.” Dr. Dix agrees with Superintendent Gaylor in pene that Williamson is not in his right mind. Dr. Dix calls the prisoner a pitavle ob- ject, and 1s satisfied that the man ts sincerely repentant. He expressed himself as deeply grater to the post office authorities for assist- ig to rid him of his persecutor. He judges from_his conversation with Williamson that the man has many friends and is well connected. District-Attorney Bliss made a complaint against Williamson, charging bim with seeking to extort money by means of a threatening letter. The prisoner was coramitted for ex- amination under $2,000 bail, the examination to take nae next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He was immediately taken in charge by officer Field, of the district attorney’s office, and was accompanied by the officer and Superintendent Gaylor to the post office, where his trunk was brought to him. He opened it, took out some packages, one of which con- tained a large, handsome album, and sent them, he said, to his relatives. He was allowed to write some letters and send some dispatches to hisrelatives and friends, and thea officer Ficld took him to the Tombs, where he was lodged in acell. Just before Williamson was taken to the Tombs there was a marked change in his ap- pearance as compared with the way he looked the morning. His eyes seemed to be more deeply set, his face wore an extremely hag- gard and troubled expression, and he appeared to be confused and dazed. He was very pale, and his hand trembled when he tried to write. A Pittsburg dispatch, says: ‘Williamson came to this city some four years ago, at once obtaining entre into the best society here. He de- scribed himself as a Virginian of English line- age. He was always comfortably supplied with funds, a good conversationalist, somewhat ec- centric, though in a harmless way, and seemed fond of making a sensation. He quite frequently dropped into poetry, his stanzas finding a place in several of our home papers. He also printed five or six books for private circulation, was an atten dant of the Episcopal church,‘occas'onally took piasure jaunts to the seashore and east- ern cities, and altogether was looked upon as an agreeable though eccentric fellow.” As already stated, this is not Williamson’s first offense of the kind. In 1si3 he was ar- rested in London for attempting to extort money from a Mr. Rosenbaum by similar proceedings. For this he was sentenced to a year in Newgate. In 1872 he visited the Hotel Metropole, Geneva, Switzerland, where he called himself a colonel, andfpassed for a man of great wealth. He at. tracted attention by the the luxury of his life and the number of curious musical boxes which he had collected, and which were con- cealed In different articles of furniture. Every- thing bore his crest, and he made expensive presents. One day he left the hotel, and it ts sald that the managers have never ceased to be interested in his whereabouts. WIS HISTORY IN BALTIMORE. The Baltimore Sun says: Williamson is known. in Baltimore and has a history here dating back to the time of the civil war. On June 5, 1863, he, with a number of other young men, was ar- rested and confined in the Gillmor House, then used as a federal prison, charged with the or- ganization and equipment of a cavalry regi- Ment for the southern army, and being on the eve of departure for the south. Williamson was at first domiciled with his omnis: but his fre- quent absence from them, occasionally for hours at a time, excited suspicijon,and he was watched by the outside friends of thé other prisoners. It Was stated that he had the liberty of the strzets and in short that his incarceration was merely & matter of form. Some three iaonths before the arrest spoken of Williamson had been introduced ‘to and won the af- fections of a highly respectable young Jady, who was a warm advocate and aider of the southern cause. Dy ceeded in ug] Lefore their de ure for the south, and ed up a number singly afterwards.

Editor Star:—It belng generally conceded that | when your Stak casts its bright rays on any | subject the desired end is accomplished, I offer | the following euggeetion in the hope that It | ren strike your editorial mind as it mine, and induce the aforesaid illumination. Sup- the railway tracks which now disfigure | e Deautiful parking in New York avenue were | Placed on the concrete, one on each side and close to the parking, and an eight-foot con- erete walk made through the center of the ss fel fe being extended to cover the ce of the space so gained, and seats placed at con- venient distances on the sides. Can yqu not imagine the blessings of the weary crowds as they return from their work in the hot after- | noons and linger under the archi rad Did you ever notice how in a hot day the sidewalks are deserted by pedestrians, who will walk at the risk of life and limb on the concrete pave- ment to get as near as possible to those blessed trees, while the cars are occupying the space so craved, and injuring the overarc! limbs? And then the children who live along that ave- nue. What a boon to them! But I see that gathering frown and leave you to see the rest. PARKER. Is the Thomson School Building Safe? Editor Star:—1 write to ask attention to the | condition of the Thomson building. I under- stand the health officer's attention has been called to the matter; that he referred it to the Commissioners, and they referred it to the in- spector of bul'dings, who proceeded to prop the floors, which were found to be settling to an alarming extent. But is a buliding that requires | to be propped up such a building as weshould have for school pt ses? Let those who have children in that school examine the north wall of the buliding—a wall perhaps fifty by sixty feet with butasingle tle to support it—see it standing there in waves from end to end, and | decide for themselve whether they will trust the lives of four hundred children in such a place. ‘The sight alone cannot but create a doubt as to the safety of the building, no matter what may be sald by officlals to the contrary. The bare suspicion of danger to so many little ones de- Mmands immediate and thorough repair. Better abandon the place than cause a moment's anx- fety. CITIZEN, EXPoOsING a BIGAMIST.—A telegram from Syra- cuse, March 25, says: F. C. Fadner, who was arrested in the City of Rome, N. ¥., for bigamy, oa is the editor of the Watcluord, and as been a prominent apostle of temperance for a year past. Last summer he stumped cen- tral New York for the temperance cause. On the 38d of November last he was married to Miss Effie Powell, by the Rev. C. E. Mason. The lnarriage notice was net printed in any news- paper, but nothing was thought of this circum- Stance at the time. On the 19th of February a letter was received from Omaha making in- quiries concerning Mr. Fadner, and signed by a woman who claimed to be his lawful wife. She also claimed that he had left her two children to support. In response to a suggestion from in terested persons, Mrs. Fadner came to Rome, and, swearing out a warrant, had her husband arrested. She tells a sad story of abandonment. She declares that Fadner had only lived with her tbree years when he began to show his infidelity to her and to use personal violence, refusing to support herself and children. He advertise the newspapers for young lady correspondents, and answers came in by the dozen. Fadner claims to have a divorce frora his wife, and de- clares that she has threatened to Kill him on ceveral occasions, both by poisoning him and cutting his heart out with a butcher knife. Mrs. Faaner claims that she never heard that her husband had pretended to have a divorce from her uniil Thursday. She isa dressmaker, and has labored hard to support her children while her husband has been playing the part of a hypocrite. The friends of Fadner’s young wife are very indignant. S#"Near Depnison, Texas, Monday, George Allison showed his friend, James Chisholm, a new pistol which he had just bought, and Chis- holm cocked the pistol and shot Allison dead, t-Col. Oscar Lockhead has been sentenced at Detroit, Mich.. for falsifying the books of the Citizens’ Bank of that city, to five years in the house of correction. 2M. de Lesseps arrived at Council Bluffs last evening from San Francisco, and left for Chicago, where he will deliver an address. be- fore a meeting of civil engineers this evening. §27 About 300 hands, including 25 Chinese, are employed on the Shenandoah Railroad between Hagerstown and the bridge.
