ANOTHER GRADE CROSSING HORROR, The West Virginia Senatorship Fight Settled. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. MONTE CARLO WELLS. He is Famed as the Original Breaker of the Bank. Loxpox, Jan. 17.—Charles Wells, commonly known as “Monte Carlo Wells,” arrived from France today in the custody of, detectives and was arraigned at the Bow street‘police court on twelve charges of fraud, amounting to £45,000. Wells is famed in music hall lore as the man who “broke the bank at Monte Carlo.” Wells is fifty years of age. His London address is No. 154 Great Portland street. His profession ‘was supposed to be that of a civil engineer and patent agent. London has heard a good deal recently about Mr. Wells. His Monte Carlo exploits brought him into public prominence. He claimed that he bad broken the bank through working an infallible system. He published » pamphlet setting forth the details of it» He asked for a partner with heaps of money, promising a golden reward at the expense of the admninistra- tors of the great gambling casino. He believed, or affected to believe, in the run of sequences at roulette. But so far as is known Wells did not get his rtner. He overlooked one point which doubt- ese prevented a partner from coming forward, If by following the sequences of the table it became possible to acquire great wealth, what need was there for great capital to start the op- erations? Some time after Monte Carlo had made Wells an object of common talk he began to figure rather unpleasant!y in law court reports. Hi Was repeatedly sued for money which, it was alleged. he had obtained by shady practices. For instance, under an agreement dated March of last year he was proceeded against by a indy named Miss Catherine Mary Phillimore for the sum of £11,000. She bad paid to him £9,000 on condition that she received £100,000 out of the first moneys obtainel from an in- vention diminishing the consumption of fuel in furnaces. There was a clause in the agreement that in the event of her not receiving at least £11,000 out of the profits before the beginning of April. 1892, that sum should become payable by the defendant. ‘The defense set up that certain shares of the nominal value of £22,500 were accepted by the piaintiff in part payment of the £100,000, and that therefore there could be no action. ' But the plaintiff's counsel urged that these shares were worth nothing. He said: “These shares are in C. Wells & Co. ‘The offices of the company are in Paris and with difficulty they have been found out.” ‘The learned counsel added that, although they had been taken two years before, no furniture had been put in, nobody occupied them and no rent had been paid. ‘The action was sent for trial by the judges, the lord chief justice re- marking that it wasa singular and curious sgreement and required looking into. ‘On November 16 Wells was again heard of in the law courts. There were two claims urged by agentleman named Harris to recover £240 received by the defendant for the plain- tiff's use, and a charge of fraud was made in in the pleadings. Wells, through his counsel, consented to judg- ment, but Mr. Reid, Q. C.,.who appeared for the plaintiff, made « statement in court which terest now in view of the arrest. id said the £240 were ob- tained from the plaintiff for a supposed patent. ‘The defendant took out a provisional specitica- tion, but did not complete and make the patent a succes, After he got the money he did nothing fur- ther. They found that this was a regular prac- tice. ‘The defendant would get £5 from some He would then spend £1 in getting a provisional specification, and without com- pleting the patent he would get various sums, in one instance as much as £18,000, from per- sons, some of them women, for which they got nothing at all. In 1588 he took out forty-two provisional specifications; in 1889, forty-five; in 1990, teen, and in 1891, five, nearly all of which were abandoned without his taking outa patent at all. There was a multitude of persons in court who were the victims of this system. Mr. Justice Wright pointed out that if such allegations were true the public prosecutor ought to be communicated with, and it is the result of this being done that Wells has bee arrested. It is stated that on the day foliowii e hearing of the ease Wells sailed from P! mouth in his sumptuously furnished yacht, the Palais Royal, a vessel of 400 or 500 tons. Itis stated that Weils sailed with the inten- tion of reaching Portugal He touched at Cherbourg and then went on to Havre, only to find that his movements had been followed and that the police were on his track. On instructions from London Wells was ar- rested at Havre and his yacht was seized b; the authorities. On board the yacht the Frenel police founda beautiful young woman named Jane Pernaud, who had accompanied Wells on his career of adventure. She wrote to Wells from on board the yacht that, as she was- now completely without resources, she intended to kil! herself. The letter was intercepted by the public prosecutor, who summoned Jane Per- naud to his office. He was soon convinced, however, that the young woman knew nothing about the misdeeds of which her lover is ac- cused, 60 he handed her sufficient money to re- turn to London, OTHER ——— KILLED AT A GKADE CROSSING.

SOLICITOR GENERAL ALDRICH. He Has Made Arrangements to Resume His Private Practice. @ Since the last election Mr. Charles H. Aldrich, solicitor general of the United States, has ar- ranged for the active resumption of his law busi- negg in Chicago with his former partners, Messrs. Payne, Defrees, Brace and Ritter. He will tender his resignation to President Clqe- land March 5, but will stand ready to perform the duties of his office until his successor sball have qualified. ‘The present term of the United States Supreme Court will probably ran until theend of June. The solicitor general repre- sents the interests of the government before’ this tribunal. Several important cases prepared by him for argument are set for a hearing at the present term after the 4th of March. A consideration of these facts may induce the incoming President to delay ‘making « change in the office until after the close of the present term. While this may be as advisable itis not at all certain that such @ conclusion will be reached. So far as Jndge Aldrich is personally concerned he prefers to be relieved ‘8s soon as possible, on the general theory that as his future depends upon his own exertions the sooner he begins the better for him. In order, however, not to embarrass {he adminis. tration he will continue to serve until the Presi- dent shall have chosen his successor. It a (generally accepted that Judge John Goode of Va. will be appointed to the office. He was nominated to it by President Cleveland-dur- ing his first term, but failed of confirmation be- cause of the bitter antagonism of Senator Ma- hone of the same state. Judge Jenks of Penn- Sylvania was subsequently nominated and con- firmed. The office ranks next below a cabinet position and has a salary attachment of $7,000 8 year, an eneereeres - The Bimetallic League.

President Leuderman and Messra, Davenport and Meys of the Bethichem Iron Company had a conference with Secretary Tracy yesterday in regard to the character of specifications to be issued for new stecl armor plate bids. It is probable that the issue of advertisements for bids looking to the manufacture of a very large amount of armor,in which nickel steel will be the chief component, will result from these conferences between the Secretary and repre- facturing concerns in the country. 2S See To Be Ordered to Paris. Gen. W. H. Williams, one of the treasury agents at the Alaska seal islands, will probably be ordered to Paris next month to assist Secre- tary John W. Foster as agent of the United States in the presentation of the case of this. government before the international tribunal charged with the arbitration of the questions at issue between the United States and Great Britain growing out of pelagic sealing in Bering sea, He has made a thorough study of tho sub- ject and will undoubtedly prove of great serv- ice to the counsel of the United States. In case the present program is carried into effect he will be ordered to relieve Speciai Agent H. D. Hull, who has been in Europe for the past three yeurs investigating customs matters for the Treasury Department. The sole pur, of the proposed change is to have Gen. Williams in Paris durit the sessions of the board of arbitration in order to have his knowledge of the sealing industry immediately available in case it should be needed. oe Executive Clemency.

To the FAitor of The Evening Star: In looking through the “Jenness Miller” liquor act submitted to Congress yesterday by & committee of eminent “liquorists” I find it a “bait” combination, so constructed with in- volved sentences that three cases brought under it would keep the courts parsing that act for the term of the next administration and leave us then in worse condition than tfow. Ifan information could be drawn under its “machinery” sections the trouble would begin (if « jury or a court convicted under it) when the ‘court came to pronounce sentence under the “penalty clauses.” Take section 12, it provides that any one who en- gages in the sale of intoxicating liquors without first having obtained license «hall upon conviction be fined not less than $250 nor more than $500 and be imprisoned in the District Jail until the same is paid (on this penal clause the man would escape under habeas corpus proceedings) “‘and upon every subse- quent conviction of a like offense shail, in nddi- tion to the penalty above named, to wit. a fine of not less than $250 nor more than $500, be imprisoned in the work house of the District of Columbia not less than three months nor more than one year."” Looks and reads tough, don’t it? But’ first ask the judges whether @ party convicted under either paragraph of that penalty section would walk forward or backward, and whether the District side of the court could send him to jail for the first offense or the United States for the second, or ¥ Versa. if the two parts of this wonderful legal garment could ever be fitted to the body cor- porate of this District? the short of the query ing: Can the United States send him to the District work house, or can the District send him either to jail or work house for either frac- tion of this wonderful penalty section? Then try section 13, that section is “wus. ser” bifurcated than it looks, its knees are turned round until it is what the Yankees call “din ” Tt aaya, to start with, any person having obtained a license under this act who 1 violate any of its provisions (one ef the provisions being section 1, that no person shall sell or offer for sale, or keep for sale, or traffic in, barter or exchange for goods, any intoxicating liquor, except, &c.) “‘shall,oncon- yiction, be fined not less ‘than $25 nor more than €50,andupon every subsequent conviction of such violation during the year for which such license is ixsued shall be fined a like jount, and in addition to such shall pay a m equal to 25 per cent of the amount of fine imposed for the offense immediately preceding.” (Here the court stops to find vut if “like” shall or shall not be judicially inserted between “the” and “offense” in the last line, and being be- wildered by the closing lines of ‘that awful sec tion of penalties, viz.:) ‘And in cases of non- payment of the fines and penalties above named shall be imprisoned in the jail of the District of Columbia till the same are paid.” (Here tho court howls out cumulative fines, imprisonment for debt, case dismisxed, let the man go quick before he startsa damage suit for false im- prisonment.) The section 14 would be the “speak ens: forever. It advises us that any person aiding or abetting the violation of any of the provis- ions of this ac: shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not less than $50 nor more than $100. This isas it should be. Section 18, it will be noticed, fines the violator of the law $25 to £0 and section 14 fines the witnesses $50 to $100, ‘and just as soon aa man swore that he got a drink he would be arrested for aiding and abet- ting before he got his witness fee in the first case. Sec. 15 provides that prosecutions shall be in the Police Court by the United States attorney for the District of Columbia. There is no such officer and no one can tell under that section if fthe attorney for the United States or the at- torney for the District of Columbia sball lay the information. All fines (if any could be col- lected) would go tothe United States, for tho act makes no application of them to the Dis- trict. Under section 2 the excise board is composed of officers already under salary, and yet they are to fix the expenses of the board, while not a penny of the revenues accrue to the District. is bill cuts off from the District all revenues now derived from liquor licenses and also cuts off all fines and penalties, It is in no’ sense meant to be of benefit to the District as a revenue fetcher, and would destroy all iuter- est the municipal authorities now have to follow up the license laws for revenue pur and so check illicit places. In the interest of ood*government the bill is not concerned. The attempt to prosecute underit would render contemptible from a legal standpoint any clean * joy to enforce it in the interest of good morals or right government. it does not take close scanning of the lines of section 1 to see that liquors may not be traf- ficked in nor bartered for goods, but may be for labor, hence a “‘store” with « clay pipe, a pie, a pig's foot and a candy jar in the front window could keep a vast number of employes about it without regard to age. sex, previous condition of servitude. Would or would it not be wise to look up the license bonds of large and small liquor dealers and seo if any of the gentlemen who held this remarkable convention. from which this queer bill comes to Congress, are sureties on such bonds? And if any of these bondsmen furnish the material to the retail or small dealers as well asbond?

From the London Telecraph, An atiack has been made in the columns of a religious contemporary upon the growing ten- dency among clergymen to adorn themselves with beards, The author of the spirited on- | slaught admits that he is a layman, and he treats the matter from a purely lay point of view. Being present at a recent ordination, he de- | clares that the gentlemen presented for holy | orders “could in nowise be compa} every hirsute facial adornment possible was to be found among them, from flowing mustache to luxuriant side whiskers and beard.” He further wishes that the clergy could hear their | lay critics on the subject of “hairy parsons,” as in that case he faticies that they could not continue to treat it as a trivial matter, and he | mark that the wearing of whiskers and beard ‘“sjust makes the difference between looking like a gentleman or the reverse,” ‘This is certainly rather hard on the hundreds and thousands of gentlemen who have abjared the use of the razor. Would the critie main- tain that they have all suffered a fatal degen- eracy of appearance by this conduct? “No doubt there may be people who still hold to the super- stition that a gentleman ought to shave, just as it was believed by our ancestors that persons desirous of being considered to belong to “the quelity” must wear wigs. The custom of woa ing the hair on the face, however, bas become so general in every profession that it might have been imagined that it had won an estab- lished position by this time, secure from the onsiaughts either of cierieals or laymen. The critic obviously forgets that it may be toa clergrman’s influence his parishioners to be tailed « “‘beardiess vas to be calieda “hairy parson,” and, after all, it is hardly the most manly and earn- est section of churchmen who think that a cler- gyman’s principal duty is to look nice in a sur- plice. It may somewhat allay the discontent of this friend of the barber if he remembers that not ail the gentlemen who are ordained become at once rectors, or even curates. Per- haps when they take upon themselves active spiritual duties they may see fit to alter their facial appearance, and thus their first shave would immediately precede their first sermon, ——- see A Cow That Gives Black Milk. that is easily verified: Robert of Chillicothe, 0., is the owner of the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” a cow thet gives coal black milk.
