[Copyright 1857 by New York Associated Press.] PARIS, (via Havre), July 9.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bek.|]—The Pranzini trial opened to-day with tremen dous eclat at the court of Assizes. All Paris, and especlally charminz bevies of morbid dem)-mondaines had gathered together to see Pranzini, the alleged triple murderer of the rue Montaigue, brought to bay. For weeks and weeks the papers have been full of it. For weeks the president has been beset by applications for seats—no matter what seats, let us see Pranzini, and see Pranzinl we must at any cost, and we have seen him. The curtain rose on the play this morning. The scene, the court of mssizes; title, the triple murderer in rue Montaigue. No matter how early you had come, no matter even 1f you had slept on the steps of the palace, A hundred privileged people had been let In betore you, and when the doors were at last thrown open the hall was full of strong barriers, jealously guarded, avhich blocked the approaches to the court. “You can't pass this way, sir,” and “You can’t pass that way”—at every turn you were met with the monotonous “non possumus,” Nothing like it has been seen at Paris since Mme, Cloves Hugrees' trial. “How did [ get in? Heaven knows. At 11, just betore the prizoner entered the dock, 1 found myself in the court, better late than never. Behind me was Jules Claretie, di- rector of the Francals, chatting with Henrl Bauer, the critic, and several other literary celabrities. In a distant corner 1 saw Gaston Berardi, of the Independence Belge. Here and there I noticed the familiar face of a vainter, of a dramatist. They were the exceptions, however. Nearly the whole of the court was packed with Iadies of soclety. most mearly all distinctly ladies not In society, The fair, frall sisterhood had mustered thick, row upon row of them, in war paint and feathers, No wonder the trial interested them all, many, 1 dare say, thinking they might have had the fate of Alice Regnaul. They filled the auditorinm proper with their fans and frivolity. The front of the hall was reserved for barristers. To the right and left of them were journalists and the jury. Ona tablea few feet from the empty seats which were to bo occupied by the judges lay the pleces for @& conviction —-a shabby brown overcoat, a shabby pair of black trow- sers, a hamper and a small grey valise. The heat In the long blue trial chamber even at that hour was stifling. Hardly a window was open. This stuffy, stickly odor of hu- manity assailed the nostrils, and we had seven hours of it before us. EnterPranzinl. Ata quarter to11 there was a hum of excitement in the hall, A side door opened behind the pross benches. The next minute the prisoner was ushered into the room by four municipal guards, and a volee rang out **No opera glasses allowed.” ‘What is he like? Well, like a hundred thousand men you may meet. Good looking? Yes, in a way. About thirty, short, neither very dark mnor very fair, joh garcon the French would say; short, curly hair, very thin at the top, brushed smootaly over the forehead, which Is square but magnificent; surly beard and whiskers, neatly trimmed Itke his mustache; small observant eyes and wonderfully niobile eyebrows; no particular sharacter In his nose or mouth; neck shapely, What did he wear? He was dressed with caretully studied carelessness, and it suited him—a laose, black jacket and a white waist coat, and turn deyrn collar and a light pravat. In his hand heicavried a high hat, meatly brushed. In the breast pocket: ot his poat you see the end of a clean white hand- kerchef, and his manner was worth remem- bering. Cool is not the word forit. He seemed Impertubed as he entered. He looked pale, just pale enough to be interest- Ing, otherwiso no trace of smotion whatever. A flickering smile played over his lips, but it was & well-bred smile. 1t seems to express nfinite care and a touch of pity, as who should say, *‘1 am willing to humor you, good ple, but 1t's tedious, tedious for an Eng- Ishman like me, who believes in fair play for a prisoner till he is shown to be guilty.” At twenty minutes past 2 the court en- ters—four judges robed in red and black. President Ontroy de Breville takes his seat In the center under Bonnat's solemn picture of the erucitixiou—a pale, Intelligent gentle- man of forty-five, mobile eyebrows, as mobile a8 Pranzini’s, black hair and whiskers, and an oyeglass, ‘The Indictment is read, No- body listened to it, not even Pranzinl. The witnesses’ names are called, sixty-three in all. At (ive minutes past 12 the Interrogating begins, the president sternly eyeing Prazini: “On Sunday, March 20, in the evening you were seated in an orchestra stall of the Marseille theater. You listened to ‘“The Barber of Saville.” You wore sent for. You mustered up your cour- age. You followed the employe of the theater to the commissary of police, who showed jewelry that you had given to filles of the rue Ventewague, What have you to say?" To this I'ranzini said; away thoso jewels.” @The president—'"This is an insufMclent answer, not only to a magistrate but toany intelligent person. All theaccusations against you have been collected together, ‘The people are convinced of your gllt. Morever, we are now going to make a study of your past life. ‘I'his will be long, but mpecessary, We rshall always see you show- Ing the same qualities. You are a lover of gambling, and above all a lover of women; not however, as the morallst said, of women that cost moaey, but of wowen that kept you to funds,” ‘I'he president, then, In an academic and rather tedious discourse, narrated I'ranzin” entire existence, He read a letter from b, that gave luformation to the *1 never gave judgr d'instruction to the effcet that he bad known him formerly as a swindler and a coward. The president—What have you to say to that letter? Pranzini—Nothing at all. Twelve years ago he showed me a certain amount of friend- ship. 1 am astonished at what he says in his letter, The President—You made a grent deal of money during your travels in Belochistan and Afghanistan,? Pranzini—About 30,000 francs. President—What did you do with it? Pranzini—I lost a great deal of it at cards. Presisent—You were employed in the Com- pagnie des Wagons lits when you earned 250 francs a month? Pranzini—Ah, more than a 100 francs for a train, President—Why did you leave the wagons lits? Pranzini—Because they wanted to send me far away. 1 wanted to be able to see my mother at Bonlozne, President—You left because you were caught robbing a traveler. Pranzini—That is absurd. ‘The heat grows more stifling and all the fans are going now. Then follows a char- acteristic incident showing the prisoner's calmness. et us set up the seene at the directors,” says the president. **‘Among other informa- tion communicated by the Boulogne police we are told of an old woman, known as the ‘lady of the jewels,’ of whom you were a lover,” Pranzini—ON, yes; Madame —— The President—Oh, you don’t name her. Pranzini—No, I simply say, madame, I know what I'm about, eh! They say that she's forty-five or forty-eight years old, do they? Her photograph {8 among the pieces. Show it to the jurymen, M. President, and they can decide as to her age. President—It’s under seal and cannot be shown. You admit that she’s young and that you loved her?

He is met at every turn hy raillery. The duel isgrowing interesting. If a life were not at stake how enjoyable it would be. The wonderful adventures the Joli garcon has had In his career— one day with General Skoheloff, the next in Egypt, the next organizing caravans in Asia or gambling at the roulette tabies at Monte Carlo. His two passions are his bana pley and women, but chlefly play. ‘The efforts of the Interrogaterie are directed to showing that to satisfy the first he was always ready to satisfy the second. From the old laay of Bologna we come to the old lady of Paris, Mlie. Sabierrs, whom the president persistently refers to as “Cotte Pavore fille,” and yet he has seen the lady. Grey de Maupassant would find a subject for a novel in the Labatier passage with the accused, Says the president: meet Mary Sebatier? Pranzini—I don’t remember. think. President—She was more of a mother to you than a mistress, and you allowed her to support you. At the time he met Mlle.Sebatier, Pranzini seems to have been abjectly poor. The evi- dence shows he had hardly any linento wear even, and that but for his bonne’s for- unes he would have had a good chance of starving. Pranzini denles it, for he sees the inference that may be drawn from it Pranzini admits he got a big knife just before the murder, but main- tains it was given him by a cutler in ex- change for a pocket knife which needed re- pairing. As to his flight from Paris after the crime, he was panic strnck at the idea of having left two visiting cards at Marle Reg- naulv's. Step by step hisdefences are beaten down. His explanations have ceased to be creditable. His denial and explanations are childish, Still hesmiles, Pranzini grows melo- dramatic, talks of his consclence, and solemnly calls upon God to witness that he is honest. *'Yes, God himself,” he says, pointing to the dead Christ on the wall. Still worse does it get for him when he en- deavors to explain away the telegram which he sent to a young American lady, Miss N—, whom he had seduced. The telezram was signed Henry Forster, Grand hotel, and oddly enough a packet contalning the jewels of the dead Marle Regnault were addressed to Dr. Forster at Marseills, where Pranzini stopped after the murders, it Is supposed, by Pranzini himself. At 4 court adjourned. Again the heat Is suffocating and the la- dies collapsing. The curtain rises on the last part of to-day’s drama, Pranzini, pale but smiling, The questions now turn on Marle Regnault’s jewels. Did Pranzini really give them or not? Did he really give “Where did you first Ataball, I {any of them to loose women of Marseilles? Pranzini denies everything, but fails to con- vince the court. Then the president returns to the alibi in Tuestoh and says: “Let us hope your delicacy will let you reveal the name of that person with whom you say you spent the first part of the night of the crime, He dismissed the case for the day with the solemn words, *“Reflechissez Pran- zini et a lundi.” QRUEL EVICTIONS. Outrageous Actions of Kmergency Men in Ireland. (Copyright 187 by James Gordon_Bennett.) Dusriy, July 10, 1 a. m.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brr|—The Coolgranny evictions heretofore outlined in these dispatches are now in their third day. ‘I'hey have been confined to one small dis- trict, where the people are very poor and the land unprofitable. The means of resistance are small. ‘The attitude of the people in the face of the exterminating war opened up on them, is one of determination and courage which nothing appears to check. Every day since the evictions started the people of Wickloe and Wexford have in large numbers assembled to witness the pro- ceedings and swells the chorus of condemna- tion of the dolugs of the landlord’s represen- tatives, To-aay there was no falling off, bnt if anything more, and they were encouraged by their respected pastors, Father Dunphy, Father O'Nelll, Futher O'Connell and Father Ryan, of Rathdrum. Early yesterd: t a quarter past 6 o'clock & m., without their usual escort of police and military, Captain Hamilton and his party of emergency men came down unsuspectedly on Patrick Greene, of Ashkinst. Mrs. Greene and her children has just risen, and he was still in bed when the summons startled the housekold. The emergency man would not even giveths family time to dress, but bundled them out. Mrs. Greene was dragged violently from her home by the ill-tempered suborninates, and Captain Hamilton had so little pity that he refused to ullow the little ehildrén to break- fast before being rendered homeless. “I had tne ketile boiling on the fire,” said Mrs, Greene, with tears in her eyes, *'but the ruitians drageed e out and oue kicked ne out through the ball.” = The uext attack was ou the bouse ntlpmonun( tow to Patrick Darcy. The place was strongly parricaded and a good half hour’s vlying of the ecrowbar was neces- sary before one window lost its defences. The emergency men rushed to the opening, but had to undergo a stream of bolling water from the gallant girls who defended thelir home with fearlessness. Rotten eggs were also thrown Into the facesof the fellows. Having once got 1in, they proceeded to pay off the inmates, Two defenceless girls were beaten by the emergency men, their faces cut, and the fellows were forcing the young women through the top of the window when the police entered and had them brought out through the door. The action of the emer- gency men was unmanly and savage. 'The most intense excitement was caused by the spectacle. 'These new outrages are not likely to help the penaing 'Tory elections. ————— THE ENGLISH STAGE, Theatrical Notes Concerning Amer- icans in London, [Copyright 1587 by James Gordon Bennett.) LoNpoy, July 9.—[New York Herald Ca- ble—Special to the Bek.]—Mrs. Potter has to«day a good omen from Newmarket, where Faustine, the name of the character she per- forms, beat the Prince of Wales' horse Fal- con, ridden by Cannon, which was second, and Lord Randolph Churchill’s Argua, ridden by Watts. She continues playing to a full house. Kight London theaters have mana- geresses, and Harriet Jay will next week make a ninth, into the Novelty theater, ‘where she produces *Blue Bells of Scotland,” a new romantic drama by her brother-in-law Rovert Buchanan, He also soon launches a new play at the llaymarket for Manager Tree. Two American plays are now success- fully running here, one by Clay Greene, the other by Gillett, and next week is promised a third by Joe Jefferson and Stewell. New York’s bar, bench and press were a few nights ago reported among the play-goers etthe same theatre. Messrs. Pulitzer and Dana had dual laughs from different parts o the house at the Comedy, and Judge G. H. Andrews and Clarence Seward similarly en- joyed Dandy Dick. Mr. and Mrs, Henry Labouchere give an outdoor afternoon performance for the benefit of charity at their Thames residence in Twickenham, formerly Pope’s Villa. The famous Grotto is to serve as a refreshment play “Midsummer Night's Dream,” in which George A. Sala personates Bottom and the other journalists take Snaut and Ca. Miss Norris, well known by her connection with Wyndham’s American tours, will girgle as Puck, and Kate Vaughan. **with fairy grace will bless the place” as Titomia, Bessie Sudlow. New York's old favorite under Falmer & Janett's management, has this week sang Leonora in “Il Trovatore” with press approbation at the Dublin thea- ter of her husband, Mr. Gunn, for the benefit of the Irish charter. Buffalo Bill Is likely to get his head in chancery because a resldent near his exhibi- tion has made an equity application for an injunction against the noise and danger of rifle shooting near to the house. Justlce Chilty, of chancery and family fame, will soon hear the application, “Guess as how its time for us to be going to America since its so Americanizine our London amusements,” chaffingly said Irv- ing’s dramatist, O, Chates Bramstaker, at the Savage club annual dinner this evening to Earl Dunraven, who was in the chair, WAR TALK. The German Press and Public are Very Belligerent. [Copyright 1857 by New York Associated Press. | BiRriN, july 9.—If the temper of the Ger- man press were a faithful reflection of the disposition of the government, war with France would be a question of a few days. ‘The revelations at the Klein trial, of the French tax on foreigners, which Is openly designed to atfect Germans, prohibitive im- post on German spirits have combined to in- censing these people to the utmnost. The latter measures by themselves would have beeu held of less account, but associated with the spy trials they have heightened the general sense that the French enmity is impiacable, and that it seeks to wound Ger- mans where it can, walting for a chance to inflict the deadliest injury. The trial of Klein is the fifth treason trial In which clear proof was afforded that the French war min- istry has organized a sysiem of espionage. A worse case than any yet revealed is under inquiry. An employe of the central admin- istration at Strasburg is about to be tried at Leipsic. He is charged with selling to the French war oftice all of the official reports sent to the chief administrator of Alsace by his various subordinates. The completeness of this system of espionage suggests that treason is still at work,and that any moment may bring further revelations. The ofticial irritation equals that of the publie, and both the officials and the general public would approve the strongest displomatic remonstrance being made to the french government. As to the aangers of the situation as re- flected by the press, the Kreuse Zeltung ex- plecicity declares that any further show of considerateness toward France 1s impossible that a country whose whole pol- fey toward its neighbors from feelings of 'wrongness and hatred has no right to expect further toleration. The Berliner Tageblat says: “If in spite of all efforts to keep the peace the war dance of France and Germany must open its ploody maze, France will either be overtaken by the fate of Poland, or the German empire will be cast down from the height on which it has gtood since storm of Duppel. The Germans would enter upon a war consclous that they had done their best to avold a conflict. The National Zeitung, whieh is noted for the moderation of its arti- cles, says: *Itis lmpossible to cluse our eyes to the dangers of recurring hostile incidents, The seed of hatred against Germany sown for the last seventeen years is now in most luxuriant bloom.” ‘This press campaign, which has begun in earnest, has undoubted official inspiration. 1t 1s believed to foreshadow early diplomatic action toward France. Regarding the election of Prince Ferdi- nand, of Saxe-Coburg, Gotha, as prince of Bulgaria, the Berlin official feeling Is in favor of the prince, but nothing has trans vired to show Prince Bismarck’s tendency. Count Kalnoky supports Prince Ferdinand, Duke Ernest of Saxe-Coburg, Gotha has glven sullen assent, with a proviso tnat the prince’'s acceptance of the throne shall de- pend upon the app:oval of Emveror Willlam, ‘The talk of diplomatic circles assoclates Ferdinand’s election with the Probable de- velopment of an active Bismarckian policy against Russia. THE GLADSTEI ;ESI‘IMONIAIA. It is Accepted With Warm Words For Ameorica. L.oNDoN, July 9.—This afternocon at Dollis HilL, in the presence of a large number of Kuests invited by Mrs, Gladstone to a garden party, the American testimonial to Glad- stono was formally vresented to the ex- premier and afterward exhibited to him by the guests, ‘The presoutation speech was made by Hon, joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World. Giadstone received the party at4 o'clock, and atter shaking hands and 18 Gladstone, all pro ceeded to the lawn, where the testimonial was taken out and stood upon a box. The massive piece of silver work was most care- fully examined and adnitded by Mr. and Mrs, Gladstone. It was the first time that either of them had seen it. Gladstone then faced Pulitzer, and the two gentlemen formally bowed. Mr. (iladstone atter pratsing the beauty of the gift said he did not think so much of what he deserved or might fairly clain as of the profound and irrepressible Interest of America in the great Irish cause. From Americans he personally never had anything but the most “generous treat- ment, He would not dwell upon personal matters which were of minor im- ortance, but he had hardly a greater conso- ation than the unanimous support he re- ceived in Amerlea in the present struggle, Referring to certain expressed jealousy of Anmerican interference in Evglish affairs, he said it was much too Iate, under the circum- stances to object to the conduct of Americans when they ventured to advise on Irish questions. It would be monstrous and unnatural if Americans did not do it, for the leelln;‘s of humanity re- quired 1t at their hands. e recelve Ameri- can alws to lighten famine in lreland, it is our business. if possible, to ‘ptevcnh or if it arises to bear the cost thereof. We have re- ceived Amerlcan aling not for that alone but for the removal from Ireland to a habpler land of a large portion of her ponulation, which Lord Salisbury recently designated as a burdensome engagement upon the soil. Mr. Gladstone contended that the whole clvi- lized world and fits literature favored the cause of lreland, and he had challenged men who knew more than himself to produce an author who did not severely and unmitigal edly condemn England, and the challenge Wwas unanswered.

Walter 8. Gibson Removed From the Prime Ministry and W. L. Green Appointed in His Stead— Possible Bloodshed. A New Order of Things. SAN Fra~ctsco, July 9.—The steamship Mariposa, which arrived from Australia this morning, having touched at the Hawaiian islands, brings the fmportant information that the expected revolution in the Hawalian kingdom has actually occurred. The popu- lace organized and demanded the downfall of the ministry and the abdication of the king, The residents of Honolulu and the surrouzding country have assumed the pow- ers of government. The volunteer military forces of the kingdomn are with them. As a result the Gibson ministry has fallen and a cabinet named by the peopie headed by Will- fam M. Green hasbeen appointed. King Kalakaua is permitted to retain the throneal- though divested of all present power, having aeceded to the demand for a new constitu- tion and agreed to abide by the will of the people. The king was thoroughly alarmed and on July 1 called a meeting of the Ameri- can minister, the British commissioner, the French commissioner and the Portuguese commissioner, to whom he offered to transfer ro tem the powers vested in _him as king. hese officials refused to acceot the trust, but advised the king to lose no time in torming a mew constituvion, which he followed. Walter M. Gibson and his_son-in-law, F. H. Hayselden, are under arrest, having been seized by the civic troops when attemptin, to escape. The populace assumed control of affairs in the kingdom on June 25 and were joined by hastily orzanized military com- rnnles. n the afternoon of June 30ata arge meeting, resolutions were lda{r claring that the administration of the gov- ernment had ceased through corruption and incompetency to adequately perform its functions and afford protection to the per- sonal and property rights for whieh all gov- ernments exist. Demands on the king were foruiulated to the effect that he must uncon- dittonally dismiss his cabinet and call on efther William L. Green, Henry Waterhouse, Godfrey Brown or Mark P. Kobinson to se- lect a new one, and that Walter Glbson be dismissed from eachfand every office held by him. 't'he third and fourth demands were that the king should make restitution for $71,000 ‘l?h"n bribe money and dismiss Junius Kaal, register of conveyances, who was implicated in the bribery. They also asked a specitic pledae from the king that he would not in future interfere with or at- tempt tounduly intluence legislation. When the cominittee reached the palace, they found the news had preceded them, and the Gibson ministry handed in their resignations after conferring with the H'S)resenlnll\'es of foreign governments. On July 1 Kalakaua formally appointed Willlam L. Green prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. Green then completed the cabinet. The surrender of King Kalakaua to the demands of the popu- Iace were was as complete and as ignomin- ious as that endured by his late ministry. In res[l)lms@! to the demands made upon him, he replied in detail signifyine his acquiescence, What course the revolution will now take is not known. When the Maraposa sailed the OPlnlnn prevalled that Kalakaua should be allowed to continue on the throne. though fears were expressed that Gibson and other members of the ex-ministry might lose their lives, 'There had, however, been no blood- shed up to thas thme. — M'GLYNN EXCOMMUNICATED, The Bolt Falls at Last—An Unfrocked Priest, NEW York, July 9—The bolt that has for weeks been hanginz over the head ot Dr. McGlynn has fallen. He has been excom- municated. A reporter learred vpositively to-day at Archbishop Corrigan’s residence that a papal brief ordering his formal ex- communication had been received, and that, accompanied by a letter from Archbishop Corrigan, it would be read in all the Catholic churches ot this diocese to-morrow, The papal briet sets forth the contumacy of the vriest, and refers with sorrow to his persist- ency in detying the church which had been 80 anxious to see him repent and do penance for the scandal he has provoked. It goes on at some length to explain the necessity of the present act, compliments Archbishop Corrigan on his firmness and _discretion and ends by Instructing him to publish the decree of excommunication in his church diocese at once, The letter from the archbishop will recite anew the anxious efforts of the local church and the authorities to bring Dr. Me- Glynn to a proper sense of his duties as a riest, and concludes by exorting the faithful 0 obey fmplicitly the mandate from home with reference to the unfrocked priest.

On this subject Davis says ; “While the Confederate Government was at Montgomery, Ala, in 1861, 1 receivod an annoymous letter from Philadelphia the substance of which was that the Governor of Pennsylvania had re- leased a noted desperado from the penitentiary upon condition that he go to Montgomery and assassinate. me, with the promise of a reward of §100,000 if he suc- ceeded. After his release the man stated that he probably could not succeed alone and gave the name of another convict who was released with him.” Davis then gave, with much circumstantiality, detail of various at- tempts upon his lite, "On one occasion when viewing the defensive works at Richmond together with Colonel Willlam Preston John- son, a pistol ball passed by them. Search revealed a man 1 a vacant house. Davis sent him to General Lee with this note: ‘‘Hope that he will be put to the tront line to stop a ball intended for a better man,” At Montgomery all his efforts were directed to- ward securing for seceeding states a peace- ful separation, though he never thoukht of olng back into the union to eseape the ast resort to arbitrament of arms, Davis discusses _his ~experienco as secretary of war in Plerce's cabinet s sena- tor, etc. He pays a high tribute to Jacksen, Lee, Albert Sidney Jolnston and A. P. Hill. Speaking of the seven day’s; battle around Richmond, Dawes says General Lee conceived and executed a desperate plan to turn the flank and rear of McClelland’s arny, and adds that the failure to annihilate the tederal army was due chiefly to the fact that Lee moved in ignorance of ~ the countr below Richmond and with insuflicient guides. He n{n Lee's object in retreating from l’etersburf n the last days of the war was to reach Dan- ville, unite with Johnston, and crush Sher- man before Grant could join him. He de- clares that McClallan and Meade were two of the best federal generals, and says had the former received hearty support from the fed- eral war department, his onr::gnl‘fin against Richmond would have results sastrously to the confederates. Davis and his family are warm in their raises of the Iate John W. Garrett, and con- lirm the story told by the latter of how he se- cured Davis” releaso from Fortress Monroe. Davis has no wish to enter public life, but is deeply solicitous for the welfare and “prosperity of the whole eoun- try, and sn{s the only disturbing element to be discerned now are the efforts of the extremists of the north to keep alive for political purposes the animosities and the hatreds of the past. He thinks the time has come when reason should be substituted for passion, and when men who have fouzht in support of their honest convictions shall be able and willing to do justice to each other, S Lo A GOOD INVESTMENT. Secretary Whitney Makes $135,000 By Selling *‘Grasslands.” WaAsHINGTON July 9.—|Speclal Telegram tothe Bre.]—Secretary Whitney has sold “Grasslands,” his country place on the Ten- leytown road. The purchasers are Arthur Barnwell and William Kryan, of Charleston, 8. C., and they paid for the place which con- tains seventy-five acres of land, $75,000 or $1000 per acre. 1t is stated that Secretary Whitney i8 so much pleased with this place a8 a residence that he sold it with the agree- ment that he could lease it and he has leased ftfor two years with the privilege of a third ear. He will therefore continue to occupy t as a place of residence for the next two or three years. The purchasers are both weaithy men, ~ Mr. Ryan is [y former meniber of congress and some months ago he purchased “'Dunbarton Hall,” on I'ierce Mill road, where he now lives. Mr. Barn- well will probably occupy “Grasslands” after Secretary Whitney gives up the house, but he purchased it more for an investment than fora home. In the spring of 1885 Secretary Whitney purchased this place, which con- tained 100 acres and a large house, which he oceuples for a portion of the summer. ‘The price paid was 8500 per acre, which was re- garded as a rather steep figure for country property, When Secretary Whitney sold wenty-five of his 100 acres some time ago he obtained for it $1,500 per acre or §37,500. For the remainder of the place he now' recelves $75,000, and deducting $7.000 which it is said he has expended during his residence in im- provements of various kinds, the secretary in a little over two years realizes about $75,000 from his investuent.
