For a week past a well-dressed stranger has been making a tour of the Ohio valley cities, representing himself as Edward Morris, secre- tary of the Standard oil works. He was ac- companied by a private secretary and created much excitement among real estate owners and business men by announcing that twelve or fifteen-acre tracts would be bought in Wheel- ing, Steubenville, Bellaire and elsewhere; large retineries, tankage of great capacity, &c., erected and extensive pipe lines laid. Options were taken on eligible iand, attorneys employed to examine deeds, &c. Morris and R. P. Kob- erts, his secretary, were meanwhile feted by business men and had the pick of the good things of life generally. Yesterday the couple were sized up as 8 rs and now both are in jail at Steubenville. Ohio, on charges of fraud. Morris made a confession, saying his real name is F.

From the Boston Transcript. On one of the mountain trains the other day, just when its weary cargo of belated vacgtion- ists had come in sight of the gleaming waters of Lake Winnipisaukee, a freckle-faced, fifteen- year-old boy with a basket on his arm came on board at a small station. “Spruce gum?” Spruce gum? he called out, with a querulous, impertinent little interroga- tive quirk at the end of the word “gum.” “Spruce gum? ten cents a package.” A couple of giggling young women bought a package; buta middle-aged and sour-visaged | woman who sat ina seat behind them looked shocked beyond expression that anything so vulgar as spruce gum should be offered for sale on the cars. “No!” shouted the woman, and she scowled ferociously at the boy as he paused with his basket. “Tell ye what 't is, ma’am,” said he, bending over the seat a little, but piping the words out so that all in the car could hear him, “I'll give it to ye already started an’ only charge ye the ten cents!” And then everybody in the car thought the sour-faced woman was going to faint, sor The Old Man's Logic.

Acrowded meeting of protestants was held Proposals would meet with determined sition cu the part of all A PANIC AMONG THE LIBERALS. Balfour’s Irish University Bill and Par- nell’s Acceptance Alarms Them. Mr, Balfour's promise to bring ins bill for the endowment of an Irish Catholic university coupled with Mr. Parnell’s immediate accept- ance of the proposal creates almost a panic amongst the liberal leaders, who see that this new departure of the tory government means the disraption of their party. It is certain that Mr. Parnell has reached some soxt of an under- standing with Lord Salisbury'’s government, and itiseven stated that the Parnellites will support the tory premier at the next election in return for concessions which will practically amount to home rule and a land law, which will quite effectually throw the landlords in Ireland overboard, This change of front on the part of Lord Salisbury is certain to lose pro! but a very few of servative members and unionists, while the addition to his forces of the solid Parnellite contingent and of such liberals as care more for home rule than for the means of attaining it will undoubtedly increase his voting strength materially, notwithstanding the defection of the Poems Inshmen and a few anti-Catholic ries. All of the details of the agreement entered into between Mr. Parnell and those whom he has of late so bitterly op; d are not as yet understood, and as a reanls there ie no end of speculation. The liberal leaders held a meet- ing yesterday, at which Sir William Vernon Harcourt made « speech congratulating the liberal porn upon having successfully prose- lyted the tory government. Few of his associ- ates, however, shared Sir William's cheerful- ness, and their joy at finding their own princi- ples now supported by the tories is not a little tempered by the certainty that this support will keep the tories in power indefinitely and themselves out. ——-_——_+ee______ Fire in Tacoma, W.

The hearing was concluded yesterday and Brownell was discharged, it being shown that the deputy who was killed did not disclose the fact that he was a government officer when he attempted to arrest Brownell. Before he could leave the court room the original warrant charging him with moonshining was served on Brownell and he was again taken into custody. He will be allowed to go to his home in Holmes county, accompanied by an officer, to secure the $2,500 bail imposed by the commissioner. so Boulanger Will Return to France. M.

An interesting case of ‘thought reading” came before the county court of Buda-Pesth a few days ago. The accused, a lively little man, was known as “The Wizard Rabbi,” or ‘The Thought Reader of Czernowitz.” He was charged by a tradesman’s assistant with cheat- ing him out of a florin. On the table in front of the judge were the corpora delicti, consist- ing of a number of papers covered with hiero- glyphics, two volumes of the Babylonian Tal- mad, and a bundle of circulars, which ran thus: “I can read the name, occupation, past and fu- ture of any man iu his face.

It’s Mystery Beginning to be Cleared Up —Hamilton Disgusted with His Wife. A special dispatch from Atlantic City to the Philadelphia Inquirer says that some daylight is beginning to dawn on the mystery of the Hamilton tragedy. It is now known as a posi- tive fact that the defense will attempt to show that Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton were quarreling; that the nurse, who had been discharged, had become drunk; that Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton had been drinking rather heavily for the middle of the day; that half in earnest and half in fun while they were wrestling with esch other Mrs, Hamilton drew the dirk and threat- ened to use it upon her husband; that at this juncture the drunken nurse entered the room, and when ordered to leave it she rushed upon Mrs. Hamilton, who merely held the dagger out in a threatening manner, and the nurse ran upon it. AN UNKNOWN WITNESS, It will be sought to strengthen this theory by the testimony of = person who has hereto- fore been unknown in connection with the case save by the defense. This is a little’girl who was in the house, and hearing the noise ran up stairs in time to witness the whole affray. This is sup) d to be the little girl referred to by Mrs, wiatens as having been sent by Mrs. Hamilton to bring her to Noll cottage. It is known that the little girl’s identity is known to the Hamilton’s counsel, Capt. Perry, and that Mrs. Swinton is virtually in charge of her, so far as this case is concerned. Everything seems to strengthen the theory that the nurse came near losing her life because during the quarrel she acquainted Mr. Hamil- ton with his wife’s intimacy with Joshua Mann. As it now appears this assertion served to con- firm suspicions he already entertained against his wi fidelity. The wife recognized this fact and in her passionate desire to punish the nurse for betraying her plunged the dagger into her. One of the best known art critics and club men of Philadelphia, who is an old personal friend of Mr. Hamilton’s, and who spent over three hours with him yesterday, said: ‘Ray Hamilton has completely deceived everybody by his conduct, Some of his actions may not seem reasonable, but then his marriage with this woman was not reasonable. I do not be- lieve that he ever intended to marry her when he first began to live with her, but eventually he became temporarily infatuated and either introduced her as his wife or e!se she intro- duced him as her husband and he failed to deny it. THE INFATUATION WORE OFF. “Tt did not take a great while for his infatu- ation to wear off, and then she threatened to claim him as her husband if he did not marry her, and to keep the affair quiet he took tho long chance of giving her a marriage certifi- cate. Then she pressed him still further, till he made his will in her favor, but it isa certain thing that there is a second will revok- ing it already in existence. Ray Hamilton loathes his wife and it was that fact which brought them to Atlantic Island and caused the stabbing. He becametired of her while on the Cali- fornia trip and he returned east to secure a separation. He drew up the articles of separa- tion himself and signed them and was only awaiting her decision, She kept declining in order t® force him to increase the allowance for her maintenance. But she had reached his limit on the morning of the stabbing. She sent for Mrs. Swinton to help her raise the limit. It was then he told her that he had engaged pas- sage on a steamer for Europe to sail the next week; that she could stay here or go anywhere she pleased with the child; that he cared nothing for it nor for her, and he was through with the whole business, THEY WILL SEPARATE. “Asa last resort she used the threat of the knife. She had used it before, but this time it wouldn’t work. Then, when the nurse con- firmed his suspicions about Joshua Mann, she knew the jig was up and she used it upon the nurse who had given her away. The decd once done the only security for the name of Hamilton lay in continuing the deception. He would never as long as the woman was his wife and under legal protection desert nor betray her, but I know he will be mighty glad when this affair is over and he can be rid of her. She is in his power now if he wanted to use it, which he don’t, and the long interview Wedy nesday was to settle matters between thenf Her signature will be to those articles of sep- aration before they part at the jail.” Capt. Perry yesterday made an attempt to secure a statement from the wounded nurse, but she was so hysterical that he only partially succeeded. MORE OF THE WOMAN'S CAREER. A Dushore, Pa., special to the same paper says: Mrs, Robert Ray Hamilton is a daughter of William Steele, and was born in Wilmot township, Bradford county, about thirty years ago. Her name was Eva and her parents were poor and of the lowest class, About 1876, at the time of the opening of the coal mines in Bernice, the family moved to that place. Here Eva, who was then about seventeen, developed into womanhood. She captivated Walter Par- sons, son.of a prominent Boston man, who was the superintendent of the mines. years Parsons and Eva passed as man and wife in Dushore and Bernice, Parsons saying at hotels that she was his wife. It was from her connection with this man that she became known as Eva Parsons. In 1878 Parsons be- came tired of the fair but frail Eva and re- turned to Boston, leaving Eva in the wild min- ing hamlet. She followed, but he induced her to return to Dushore, and she effected the ruin- ation of the United States mail agent. LAUNCHED ON THE WORLD, Finally when her mail agent was dead and money was no longer forthcoming from Par- sons Eva launched out as an adventuress on the world and her beauty and matchless art have made men suffer ever since. For several years she drifted between Towanda, Waverly and Elmira, N.Y. During the holidays last year she visited Dushore and Bernice. She was accompanied by a man who gave his name as J. Mann and claimed to be Eva's husband. Last February Mann again came to Dushore and requested a business man of this place to act as guardian for two of Eva's brothers who are weak-minded, Mann saying that he and his wite were to take a trip to California and that he desired to leave $1,000 in the hands of & guardian to pay tor support of the children, The gentleman refused to act and Mann left for New York. Dispatches from Elmira, N. Y., and Newark, N. J, refer to her brief r @ in those cities, in the former of which she was known as Mrs. Mann and in the latter as Evlyn or Evangeline Brill. 4 A Strong Writer.

Discovery of the Wreck of the Vessel that Took Him from Elba. From the San Francisco Chronicle, On the steamer Eureka, which arrived from the southern coast recently, were two passen- gersfrom Monterey, named Geo. Baker and John Roach. Both are divers, and the story of their: latest exploit in Monterey is, if true, strange indeed. The men left here about four weeks ago in the schooner Rose Sparks to work on the wreck of the Ventura, which went ashore some months ago near Point Sur, a distance of about 26 miles below Monterey. They put into Monterey to get a supply of powder, and while anchored in the bay the discovery was acci- dentally made that they were just over the wreck of some vessel, Baker and Roach donned their di suite and were at first little fied at their discovery, there being but little hd ise vessel to explore. es re ey kept away at remains, how- ever, and soon the satisfaction of seeing considerable copper and iron piled upon the deck of the Rose Spar! When the news of finding the wreck spread to the town of Monterey boats of nearly every description put off to the schooner, and the men were sur- rounded by Frenchmen of all ages and sizes, who had lived in Monterey for years and many of whom remembered the well, She was 8 brigantine, they said, and went into port on fire in 1834. All hands abandoned her, the Frenchmen said, and were fortunate enough to escape. What made the wreck precious in the eyes of the natives of France, they said, was the fact that, although when lost she was sailing under the Mexican was in reality the vessel which bore poleon from his exile on the Isie of Elba to France. The vessel on which the emperor and his friends gailed from Elba was a brig and was called the Inconstant. Be this as it may, noth- ing can shake the faith of the old residents of Monterey from the belief that the Natalia is the original vessel, Those who were rich enough to purchase small bits of copper and iron from Baker did so, and others begged so hard that they were given small specimens, which they carried away in delight and will no doubt treasure as relics of the once loved and greatemperor. They account for the change of name by the fact that the vessel was sold to the Mexican government. The Rose Sparkes will be due here in about two weeks witha cargo of copper and iron taken from the wreck. sithenedst-ncsatot He Wanted the Elixir. From the New York Sun, He was driving an old gray mare to a buck- board, and in a voice high-pitched and cracked he offered to give me a lift into Rhinebeck. After we had jogged along for a quarter of & mile he suddenly inquired: “What's this ‘ere thing in the papers about the elixir?” “I know nothing except what I have read.” “They say itsote an old man back thirty years with one dose.” “Yes, they tell wonderful stories.” “T ain’t much given to sich yarns,” he con- tinued as his bowbuck humped over a little more, and his chin took on a quiver, “but I'm goin’ to see what there is in it.” “Are you going to try it?” “Sartin, I hitched up sorter quietly this morning and told the old woman I was goin’ to town after an apple parer. I shall drive right to the doctor's and git a dose of the elixir.” “Well, it may rejuvenate you.” “I'm kinder expectin’ it will, Got to thinkin’ of it last night, and couldn't go to sleep.

Then, I think that having naturalization papers will be of great service in the countries where the laws and customs are not near 60 liberal as they are in the United States,” Miss Taubles, who is a very pretty woman, responded to the usual questions with an intel- ligence not possessed by four-fifths of the male applicants. She knew the provisions of the Constitution, all its amendments and purposes, and repeated a greater portion of the Declara- tion of Independence in a manner which would make most men skeptical about their own patriotism. She also knew the rights and privileges conferred by her papers, and Judge had no hesitation in awar vbr am sorry,” said the court, “that I cannot confer upon you the right to vote, for you would make a much better citizen in every way than most of them.” “Ah, that will come later,” said the lady with a confident smile. “I don’t seek that right, you know,” she assured the court, ‘and am entirely satisfied with the protection of my adopted country.” ——-+—_+e0______ Eccentricities in Diet.

Member SW stocx de CORSON & Bankers and Dealers in Government Bonds, cae a Stock bought and sold jy18 00 noon | | MEDIUM PE vy THE EVENING STAR is a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORB THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER. FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. Itis therefore able to print each day a full report of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in the District ap to the very hour of going to press. . 20: By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULA! AND SPECIAL DIS- PATCHES, and with the difference of | time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERB for the entire day, and up to 12 o'clock miduight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. 0: —— Equally does THE STAR lead all tts contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from tts own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa- cific Oceans. inssilpipaiiag @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 amlitinteese: THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON, It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE tAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER, Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. pb icenias: In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least, able to stand. > The esteem in which THE STAN is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cire
