Charged With Swindling. “GENERAL” WILLIAMS ARRESTED IN BALTIMORE— AN ACCOUNT OF HIS PECULIAR TRANSACTIONS. Detective Mahon returned from Baltimore yesterday with Charles L. Williams, who is bet- ter known as Gen. Williams, who is under in- dictment here charged with obtaining $300 Mr. George T. Jones under false pre= tenses and $150 from one Harding, of Boston, by means of a forged telegram. “Gen.” Williams came to this city about three years ago, having in charge an invalid, Dr. Thomas Dash, of New York. The doctor was quite sick, having be- Aticted to the use of opium. While in York the doctor met with an accident, in which Williams, who, it is said, then posed as a doctor, rendered him some service. Williams then became the doctor's medical attendant and traveled with the invalid ata salary of 2400 per month. Upon their arrival in this city they met Mr. Jones, an intimate friend of the doctor. Mr. Jones was then occupying # large house on New Jersey avenue, near the capitol. Williams agreed to rent the house with his wife and board Mr. Jones and Dr, Dash, Although this arrangement continued several months, it is said that Gen, Williams never received any rent for the house. Williams’ careef was Drought to a sudden close by the death of Dr. Dash. Mr. Jones was called to Cincinnati soon after that event, and while there was stricken with typhoid fever. In the meantime a notice of a suit to recover £250 on a note which Jones had indorsed reached the house in this city and fell into Williams’ hands. He went to Cincin- nati and, it is alleged. procured $300 from Mr. Jones to settle the suit, which he failed to do. It is also charged that he obtained 3150 from Mr. Harding, who was then stopping at the Riggs house, by means of a forged telegram. When a warrant was sworn out for his arrest he was captured by Detective Mahon. He gave bail for his appearance, but when the case was called in the Criminal Court he failed to answer and his recognizance was forfeited. Detective Mahon found Williams at the Maltby house yesterday, where, in three days, he had con- tracted a bill of 2150 for wine. This morning he was turned over to the marshal’s o‘ticers, Events in the Churches. Rev. Dr. Domer delivered a sermon last evening to the Knights of the Golden Eaglo at the English Lutheran church.

A small but pretty display of blooming or- chids nestling picturesquely among feathery masses of maiden-hair fern catches the eye of people who pass Small’s flower store at 14th and G streets. The odd and striking shapes of the orchids, many of which are of great rarity and value, attract close attention, and the display is well worth a special visit to all who are fond of flowers. Among the nota- ble orchids in the display is the rare Angraecum Sesquipedale, which was discovered in India in 1876 by Rev. Mr. Ellis, a missionary, and brought to England, where the papers devoted much space to describing its peculiarities. Dar- win examined te plant, which has a spur or tail, 15 to 18 inches long. The great naturalist at once delared that there must be a moth with a proboscis long enough to reach the nectar in this spur.and such a moth was afterward discoy- ered in India. The specimen of this orchid in Mr. Small’s window is valued at » Alto- gether there are about thirty varieties in the display. aes Swedish National Ladies’ Octette.

Haoersr , Feb. 9, 1889.—The February term of the circuit court of Washington county, which begins on Monday next, bids fair to be a short one if the state of the docket is any in- dication of the length of acourt term. ‘There are eighty cases on the trial docket, eighteen on the appeal docket. forty-two on the app ance docket, and twenty-nine on the judicial docket, Invitations have been issued for the mar- riage of Mr. Emerich ©. Bell, photographer of this city, and Miss Emma J. Winters. The ceremony will take place on Weduesday next. Cards are also out for the marriage of Mr. Edgar C. Fiery and Miss Katie Roessner, daughter of Mr. Jacob Roessne ity Wednesday next is the appointed time for the ceremony. On Friday of last week an ao earl nm lunacy was held in the case of Mrs. Leaisa Cunningham, of Downsville district, this county, After hearing the evidence of rela- tives and acquaintances the jury declared Mrs. insane. When she was informed of the find- ing of the jury she requested to be heard in her defense, and on Monday last she, with sov- eral friends, appeared before the jury. ‘The evidence was of such a character that six of the jurors requested that their names be stricken from the inquisition. This, ofcourse, was the end of the proceedings in the lunacy matter, but not the end of legal proceedings, for Mrs. Cunningham, through an attorney, has now instituted proceedings for a divorce from her husband, Wm. Cunningham. The bill asks for,alimony and counsel fees, ‘The records of the clerk of the circuit court of this county bear strong evidence that ‘“‘mar- riage is not a failure.” During January forty- four marriage licenses were issued, an in- crease of twenty-three over the number issued in the corresponding month of 1898, The members of the Agricultural and Me- chanical association have fixed upon the week of October 14 to 18 inclusive for the holding of the next county fair. Last year the ladies of the Women’s Christian Temperance union made an effort, in which they failed, to prohibit the sale of liquors upon the grounds during the fair. This week a committee, headed by Mi Carlisle, state superintendent of fair work, a; peared before the board of directors and made an earnest appeal to banish liquors from the fair grounds at future exhibitions. Again these ladies have failed, the board deciding not to make the change sought, expressing it as their opinion, based upon the experience of former years, when the sale of liquor was pro- hibited on the grounds, that there was more drunkenness and disorder than when under the existing system. Levi J. McCormick, the veteran conductor of the Cumberland Valley railroad, died last week at his residence in Chambersburg, aged 77 years, He had been in the service of the road thirty-two years, and was retired several years ago on full P= £ While he was running on the Cumberland Valley railroad he traveled a dis- tance of 1,800,000 miles, or equal to sixty-one times around the world.

Previtar Porter Metuops,—Saturday night a policeman called at the house of a citizen and gave him the information that a number of rob- beries had been committed in his neighborhood. The robberies, he said, usually occurred at honses where there were back porches, and knowing that there was a back porch at the citizens house he thought he would warn him in time. ‘Understand.” said the officer, “this is on the quiet. We don’t want the newspapers to learn of it because they will publish it and let the thieves know that we are on to them.” ‘The citizen argued that publicity would help the citizen's and warn them to be on the alert, but the policeman, as usual, could not see it in that light.

His action on the witness stand before the congressional investigation committee two weeks ago in reference to the purchase of school sites and hia needless quarrel with Taz Evenrne Sran, have hurt seriously his chances for confirmation before the Senate. Tux Evextno Stan is a power in this city. It is run by able business men as a business enterprise, and looks closely after the best interests of our people. Its exposure of the singular (to say the least) business tactics of Commissioner Webb in the matter of those purchases, opened the eyes of a great many persons, who, even up to that time, had stuck by the Commissioner, and his manner of treating the charges alien- ated them completely. = ——— Getting Information from a Woman.

About a month ago a mad dog appeared in the valley of Fishing Creek, Wetzel county, and, by biting other canines, there are: now twenty dogs in the central part of the county known to be afflicted with hydrophobia, They are at large in the woods, and are innoculating live stock of ail kinds and have also bitten several people.

The Government Contemplating an Im- mense Confiscation of Church Property. Rome Letter in New York Tribune. The government is on the eve of perpetrating 8 gigantic act of spoliation. Toward the mid- dle of the coming month a bill will he submit- ted to the chambers for the confiscation and sale of the immense possessions in Italy of the various monastic and religious orders known by the name of “Opere pie.” The value of this property is estimated at $600,000,000, yielding an annual revenue of $30,000,000. There is hardly a country in the world which has not contributed to swell this vast total, the American donations, in particular, being among the most generous. The money was given to be devoted to religious and charitable uses in all parts of the world, and its arbitrary appropriation by King Humbert's overnment for purely secular and Italian ob- frcte isa matter of international importance. The excuse put forward by the prime minister is thatthe money has been diverted by the church from the purposes which the donors had in view, Of the yearly income of $30,- 000,000 he complains that over $20,000,000 dis- pears in the expenses of the management, and that the remaining $10,000,000 is devoted to propaganda by the vatican against the gov- ernment. The truth of the matter is that the national treasury is empty, and there isno other method of replenishing it. The ministry finds itself face to face with a deficit of no less than $70.- 000,000. Of this amount, $20,000,000 is due to the alarming decrease in revenue, and the bal- ance to extra expenditure incurred by the war and navy departments. Moreover, it has al- ready been decided by parliament that an addi- tional sum of 100,000,000 must be devoted to the perfection of the national defenses during the next three years. In order to realize how completely impossible it is for the treas- ury to grapple with this situation by any ordinary methods, it should be stated that the entire revenue does not exceed 2300,000,000, a sum utterly inadequate to meet even the ordinary annual expenditure. It was owing to his inability to discover any normal method of either balancing his budget or of obtaining means to meet the extraordinary in- crease of expenditure that Signor Magliani de- termined to resign his seat in the cabinet as minister of finance a couple of weeks ago. It is impossible to increase the taxes already in existence, or to create new imposts. The bur- den is already too heavy for the people to bear. ‘The arrears are enormous, and the number of seizures and forced sales by the government for non-payment of taxes has become very great. In the south of Italy, especially, whole villages and districts have been put up for auction by the sheriff. Most of the big cities are bankrupt and unable to pay the interest on the extensive loans with which they have saddled themselves.» Real estate has de- creased in value. The farmer is no longer able to find any sale for his crops or live-stock now that the tariff war with France has puta stop to the former extensive export to that country of agricultural produce and cattle. Misery reigns supreme everywhere, and in Sardinia it has reached such a degree that the entire body of parliamentary representatives of the island have decided to resign their seats in the cham- ber, with a view of forcing the government to adopt serious measures for the relicf of their wretched constituents. Matters are equally bad in the cities and towns. — Trouble in Dakota. GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE AT LOGGERHEADS. In a message to the Dakota house of repre- sentatives Saturday Gov. Church attacked his predecessor bitterly, and the legislature re- turned the attack with equal warmth, and then postponed their formal answer till to-day to getit in better shape. After sending in his message the governor closed his office, which was considered as a direct snub to the legisla- ture, then in session. The governor could not be found by the officers of the house. As his message was considered very insulting there was much talk about the matter. Representa- tive Jones says he will offer a resolution to-day asking President Harrison to remove Gov. Church at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of March 4. Ex-Auditor Caldwell, who gave the legisla- ture aid in showing some tistekes made by the governor in a previous message, was met by the latter and a Bent was threatened for a mo- ment. The governor intimates that he will whip him when they next meet. A dispatch from Bismarck says: The end of the war is not yet, and the result cannot be predicted. — 00s The Groom Drove Too Fast. AND THE POLICE LOCKED HIM UP AND KEPT THE BRIDE WAITING. Luther M. C. Kirby, a young shipbuilder of Baltimore, and Miss Rose Mechalske, of Wood- berry, a suburban town, were engaged to be married at 60’clock Thursday evening. The ceremony was to take place at the bride’s brother-in-law’s house in the city, and accord- ing to arrangement Mr. Kirby hired a buggy, and at 40’clock started for Woodberry to fetch his bride. But the horse became unmanage- able and Kirby was arrested for fast driving. He had no money in his wedding suit, and was cee to jail in default of payment of his ine. Meanwhile the bride waited. It grew dark, his and her friends became anxious and a search was made for Mr. Kirby. He was soon located and the production of 25 and costs secured his release, Then he hired a cab. drove to Woodberry as fast as the law would allow, got his bride after a hasty explanati and finally at 9 o'clock at night at the parson- age of the Washington-street M. P. church they were married. ae ae. Married in Secret. THE ROMANCE OF MISS NEVILLE AND MR. CAD- WALLADER, Jesse M. Cadwallader, a descendant of the renowned Gen. Cadwallader of Revolutionary fame and a student in the College of Physi- cians and Surgeons in New York, twenty-two years of age, has long been paying court to Alexine, daughter of Timothy F. Neville. a prominent and wealthy New York lawyer, who resides at Breslau, L. L, with his family in a mansion known as the Warwick house. A few evenings since Mr. Neville learned from his wife that the young people had been cl: destinely married. “On January 24 Miss Neville visited New York, and was ccompan- ied as far as the station in Long Island city. on her return home, by young Cadwallader. They arrived too late for the train. They sat down in the waiting-room and talked—soon very earnestly, Then Cadwallader inquired the way to the nearest minister, and was directed to the Rey. George F. Taylor, pastor of the Second M. E. church. ither the young couple wended their way, and were made man and wife. Mrs. Cadwallader took the first train home, and her husband returned to his student quarters in New York. The marriage was kept secret for a week, and then the young lady informed her mother and the young man his sister, But no one had the courage to break the news to Mr. Neville, who, however, says he is quite well satisfied with his new son- in-law, but would have preferred that the cere- mony had been performed in a Roman Catho- lic church and by a priest.

SO PRINCE RUDOLPH AND BARONESS VETZERA RESOLVED TO DIE. ‘The story that Crown Prince Rudolph and the Baroness Vetzera died together at Meyerling is revived in Europe. and is confirmed from dif- ferent sections, The London Chronicle con- tains the following dispatch from Paris, dated Friday: ‘Two letters which appear in to-day's Figaro go to confirm the version of a double suicidal tragedy at Meyerling. The first is a short note to the Duke of Braganza, which is as follows: “Dear Frienp: I must die; I cannot do oth- erwise, Keep well and happy. Thy servant, Ropoirs.” The other letter is from the Baroness Vet- zera to her mother, and says: “Dear Motuer: I die with Rudolph. We love one another too much. Forgive me and farewell. Thy unhappy Marie. “P. 8.—Bratiisch whistled admirably last night.” The Figaro adds that the crown prince ac- tually asked the emperor to allow him to re- nounce his rights to the throne in order to marry the Baroness Vetzera morganatically. When the emperor refused he informed tie baroness and they both resolved to die to- gether. CONFIRMATION FROM ST. PETERSRURG. The Berlin National Zeitung says that advices from St. Petersburg, which may be regarded as absolutely authentic, assert that Count Hoyos and all the domestics at the Meyerling chateau saw Baroness Vetzera, who had been shot, lying under the counterpane on Crown Prince itudolph’s bed and the crown prince lying outside the bed-clothes, and that they confirm the report of family disputes arising owing to the intimacy of the crown prince with the baroness, serene’ elie It is said that the Empress Frederick has col- lected 24,000 obituary notices of her husband, A Vermont man has started a newspaper at Jamaica, in that state, and calls it Jamaica in Se Ne Se ae ROR OO Zz AA Bk So Y mf £ RR 00 v oak Gm BBR A KK i.
