The club is one of several fashionable night clubs in London, where the deml monde resort. It opens at midnight and closes at 6 a. m. Lately the plaice has been very riotous. , The club is elegantly appointed, having twenty-five men servants and a band playing nightly. A hundred men and women, all In evening dress, were captured.

Tby were remanded. . TORTURED BY STAMBILOFF. After Months of Persecution He Had a Seventeeu-Yeur-Old Boy Burned. LONDON, July 21. A Times dispatch from Paris gives an interview, published by the Figaro, with a brother of Naoum Tufektchleff, who was arrested for complicity in the murder of Stambuloff. He said that his brother, Naoum, uas a close friend of Major Panltza, who had been executed by order of Stambuloff. But the association was purely one of friendship 'and nGt one of politics. When the Panitza plot was discovered all who had been connected with Panltza were arrested. "Among them," the Interview continues, "was my youngest brother, Deutchs, aged seventeen, whom Stambuloff thought ne could force to reveal Naoum'8 supposed connection with the conspiracy. Deutchs was subjected to atrocious tortures for six months, Stambuloff employing all his ingenuity and multiplying the most horrible tortures until the executioners, in his presence, tore the nails from the hands and feet of my brother and committed acts more barbarous. "The little fellow refused to accuse Naoum and finally, exasperated, he spat in Stambuloffs face, crying 'Tyrant, I scorn you.' It was his death warrant. Stambuloff bathed him in kerosene and burned him alive in October, 1W2." Tufektchieff concluded that nevertheless neither Naoum nor himself were connected with the murder of Stambulcff. which they deprecated as likely to cause a reaction in his favor, while they hoped that their brother would be avenged by the condemnation of Stambuloff. The Prince Is Gay. LONDON, July 21. A correspondent of the Standard at Carlsbad says that the conduct of Prince Ferdinand since the murder of M. Stambuloff, has caused much scandal. "He feels, or affects." the correpondent continues, "a gayety which is simply revolting under the circumstances; so that the indignation of the public here threatens to find unmistakable expression. He is reported already to have been hissed by a crowd of Carlsbad visitors." People say that they have seen the Prince displaying an unbecoming merriment in the restaurants and relating Jocular anecdotes, and In the evening when the death of Stambuloff was expected, he was in a box at the theater, laughing at the gay scenes of Freytang's comedy, "Die Journallsten." Government Majority of 108. LONDON, July 21. As a result of the pollings, thus far held In tne general elections the Unionists now show a net gain cf 6S, giving the government a majority of 10$. The districts to be neard from during the coming week are almost entirely in the counties and the shires. The number yet to be heard from is iGO. The majority of these were represented by Liberals in the last Parliament. AVhnt Did Embassador Eastls Drink? LONDON, July 21. The alleged interview with United States Embassador Eustis published by the Paris Figaro is still attracting attention. The Saturday Review says of it that it showed braggadocio first, then confidences and then total forgettulness. "Whether It was the bourbon or tho Irish brand." the Review remarks, "evidently it was too strong for the embassador." Gladstone Not Disturbed. . LONDON, July 21. In the course of a letter to Sir James Kltson, congratulating him upon his success in the elections, Mr. Gladstone says: i'It Is too early to speculate upon causes, and to learn causes from facts; but the Liberal party in this Nineteenth century can well afford to stand upon its record." HARRISON AS A CANDIDATE. The People AVI 1 1 Be riensed If lie Is Again Stnndard-Beurer. New York Commercial Advertiser. This is the time of midsummer fairy tales, and the report that.General Harrison in conversation with two G. A. R. men on Tuesday, positively d2clared that he would not accept the nomination for the presidency if it were offered to him, is evidently an example of this particular species of fiction. The rumor is one which sensible men everywhere declined to credit until it was authoritatively confirmed, and the dispatch from Congressman Pool, one of the two veterans mentioned in the original dispatch, in which he explicitly denies that the cxPresldent made the statement ascribed to him, disposes of the story absolutely. Ben jamin Harrison is not a man wno does things covertly or by halves. If he had desired to state that he would not again be a presidential candidate he would have made the announcement publicly in a way which could not have been misinterpreted. It has at no time been supposed that Gen eral Harrison was an active candidate for renomlnatlon. The popular understanding has been that, while he did not seek reelection to the high office which he filled with distinguished honor and success, he would not refuse to head the ticket again if tho Republican party should call upon him to do so. It would be extremely Batisractorv to the masses of the party if this un derstanding should continue. General Har rison 8 signal ability, robust Americanism, practical experience in dealing with problems of statesmanship and unwavering fidelity to Republican principles, make him one of the great leaders or ltepuoiicanism. It is well for the party that it should have the power to chcose any one of its list of eminent statesmen as its standard-bearer In the comlne national contest. The Republican party has a magnificent array of leaders wno are wormy or us loval and enthusiastic support in ij'A.

A CONVENT SENSATION

GIRL FILLS HER LEGS "WITH NEEDLES AS A PE.ACE FOR SIX. Nellie Thomas Confesses to tnnatural Intimacy with Another Girl In Good Shepherd's Retreat. CINCINNATI, July 2L A well-dressed woman applied at the Cincinnati Hospital for admission yesterday afternoon. ', She presented a letter from the mother superior of the convent where the young lady had resided, and the letter said the bearer, Miss Nellie Thomas, had been employed at tho convent for eome time, and was suf fering from swollen legs and feet. Nothing except the symptoms referred to in the let ter was found on the preliminary examination, but later it was decided to lance the feet, when it was found that the limbs and feet were imbedded 'witn pins and needles. Forty-one needles were extracted from her body, and she was not able unA. W m . . , At ui io-aay to endure iuriner opera.uona, when ten jnore were extracted, and it is thought others will be found. The physicians fear blood poisoning will set In, and that the case In any event may prove hopeless. The girl protested till after the opera tions that she could not tell how her feet and limbs became Imbedded with these needles, but finally she said she had been at the Convent of the Good Shepherd for several years. She was an orphan and alone in the world. During her stay there she had done wrong. Not once alone, but i-trsiaitatiy. Sne had done that which she Knew was not right, and tor every sin sne lud committed sne had done penance by thrusting a needle Into one or. her legs, sne explained that each operation had caucd ncr agonizing pain, ana that at timed her sufferings were almost unbearable, but she felt she must bear the pain as a rec ompense for the sin she had committed. Ihis mode of doing penance, sne said, had covered a period of more than two years. Her wrong-doings had been of frequent occurrence, and she was unable to estimate the number of needles she had placed in her limbs. She said she and an other girl In the-eonvent nad oacome unnaturally Infatuated with each other. They had acted as lovers, and had together sinned against God and nature. She said she had confessed to a priest at the convent, who was greatly shocked at the con fession. The sisters were greatly surprised at the statement made by the girl, and could not understand how such conditions could have existed In the institution without their knowing it. They made no attempt to deny the story, but were no doubt in ignorance of such relations existing between any persons. Sister Superior Mary Malone stated that the outcome of the examination of Mine Thomas was a startling revelation to her,. She had been aware of the condition of the patient's legs and feet for several months, but had no idea of the cause. Yesterday her limbs were so swollen and her condition so serious that the mother Insisted on her going to the hospital. As to that portion of the story regarding Miss Thomas's infatuation and- Intimacy wlth another girl in the convent Sister Malone declared she knew nothing of it, and was surprised and shocked beyond measure. Miss Nellie is able to talk to-night, but Is very weak and suffering Intense pain. Chancellor Moeller, of the Cincinnati diocese, when seen at the archeplscopal residence, said the case of this woman Is beyond all comprehension. He stated that it was a case without a parallel In the history of the Catholic Church, and one for which no explanation could be given. "It goes without saying.V said Dr. Moeller, "that, such action on the part of this girl was voluntary, and had the Sisters of the convent known she had been thus punishing herself they would not have permitted It. I cannot , understand how any person can pretend to believe that there is any such way of doing penance. Such a thing is beyond my comprehension." Hired Boys to Scour pre llliu. CINCINNATI, July 2L While Robert Rlsker, of Covington, Ky.. acV two com panions were out skiff . riding on the Licking river yesterday, ojpfcqslte "Dead Wools," they saw nude boys whipping some one tied to a log. They rowed Into shore to see what was the cause of this Btrange proceeding. The person that was fastened to the log quickly slipped out of his bands and escaped. The boys were whipping a man who had engaged them to do it. In their hands were long branches, which were covered with long thorns. They explained that they had been engaged by this unknowt. man to punish him In this manner, and that at the seme hour every day for the past week they had gone through the same performance. The whole affair was at first considered a fake, but Investigation showed otherwise. The Covington police and citizens have been hunting the man of penance l day and will continue till he is caught. ' 'GRANDFATHER'S HAT An Incident of Mr. Blaine's Tonr of Indiana In 18SS. Charles Hedges, In Washington Post. I read with Interest the editorial in this morning's Post upon "Grandfather's Hat." That which particularly gratified mo was yuur statement that "ueneral Harrison is bigger, stronger and more impressive than his grandfather ever was, and the greatness whereby he reached the presidency is all his own." Every student of history must give his unqualified approval to this assertion. The silly attempt of General Harrison's political opponents to belittle his talents by constantly referring to "grandfather's hat," and picturing the latter as much too big for the General's head, has always surprises me, because of Its utter lack of historical truth. In the first place Gen. Benjamin Harrison has a head of unusually large dimensions If I mistake not he wears an 8 or 9 hat, while the average American wears about In the second place the "grandfather's hat." with which our public has become familiar since the first nomination of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, is represented in the cartoons of the day as a big white fuzzy stovepipe hat. It-may, -therefore, surprise many readers of the Post to know that the big white "plug" hat does not In fact typify the times of Gen. William Henry Harrison at all. The cartoonists in their ignorance have selected a style of hat in voguo at a little !iter period than the memorable campaign of 1S3S and 1840 at least they selected a pattern that was not common in thoso days and had io political associations. The style of hat that was so conspicuous during the twelve months redhot campaign conducted by Gen. William Henry Harrison. "Old Tippecanoe." in 1S40. was a broad-rimmed, low, flatcrowned, soft white hat covered with fuzzy hair. This hat was famous in the log cabin and hard cider campnlgn, and was especially affected by the Whigs. I have the files cf the Baltimore Sun of that period, and nnd therein cuts of the hat I here describe, and also numerous poems and son,?s defeated to It. Perhaps It would prove of some interest to relate an incident which, in my opinion, had much to do with the introduction of "grandfather's hat" into the political literature of the present day. Up to tne time of Mr. Blaine's tour of Indiana In the famous campaign of 1SS3. "grandfather's hat" , had not attracted much, if any, notice outside of Hoosierdom. and but very little there. It was Mr. Blaine who innocently resurrected and nationalized the old hat. His masterly speeches were being eagerly read throughout tho land. I accompanied him on his Indiana tour as the representative of the Associated Press -and he would make a do7.en short talks some days from the rear end of hU special car. The incident occurred at a small station on the Monon line not far from the city of Crawfcrdsviile. About a thousand people had gathered to see the famous statesman, who had not expected to speak p.t that point: in fact, the station was not down on the schedule of our special train to even stop therf, and the train ran nearly a hundred j'ards beyond the station before the engineer responded to Gen. AdamKings pull of the rone. The crowd ran up and expressed signs of indignation at the en gineer, ana tnere was. some consequent confusion; meanwhile Mr. Blaine stood silently looking over the scene. The stop was so sudden that we had neglected to tell Mr. Blaine anything about the predominating political sentiment of the place or its chief industry ne was talking on tne tann and his silence was lust on the pxnt of becom ing a little embarrassing '-..len some one back in the crowd lifted Pp on a cane a big broad-rimmed white fe;i hat. and cried out. "Grandfather's M" The crswd caught on instantlv. and did Blaine, who. with twlnkiintr ers. amidst the cheers, extended hl3 arrt tr the hat to re passe-j up to mm, au rvncuvj him he slowly turned It afound on his hind as if to exhibit it to thekrowd Rnd examine it as weli; finally the cheering subsided, and then In a few! well-chosen sen

tences fell from his lips aa eloquent aphostrophe to the old hat, reciting "that it had witnessed tho election of one Harrison; had survived the wear and ravages of time to participate in the election of another Harrison. Live the hatl" While the crowd was cheering this unique spectacle I leaned over the railing and ascertained that the

owner of the historical hat wts John Wingate, and that hi3 grandfather, aa ardent Whig, had worn it all through the campaigns of 1S3S and 1S40. I gave a brief description of the Incident In my dispatches that evening with Mr. Blaine's remarks, and referred vto the hat as a broad, white beaver of the old-fashioned type (they were called beavers). Immediately following this widely published Incident I noticed that Puck and Judge and the press generally began to caricature "grandfather's hat" as the big fuzzy stovepipe so familiar to us all to-day. I have often wondered what would have been the result (rrom a pictorial strndroint) had 1 riven a fuller and more detailed description of the white sombrero, which in reality typifies the celebra ted campaign of W illiam lienry Harrison. THE RABID MB. BLAND SAYS FREE COIXAGB ALOXE CAN SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. At Present He Declares There Is No Party, Aothtngr Except "Chaos and Disorder' ST. LOUIS, July 21. Ex-Congressman Bland is In the city, and speaking of the silver question last night, said: "There 13 no use trying to dodge this issue any longer. If the Democratic party does not declare for the free coinage of sliver It will be wiped off the map. The newspapers in the large cities like St. Louis can talk about the silver sentiment dying out, but they are not going to fool, anybody. There may be a few Democrats in the cities who will follow the administration, but there are practically none in the country. This convention will. show how the Demo crats of Missouri stand. In order to win the next campaign we have got to take a bold stand for silver, and we must be getting into line." "Do you think the Democratic national convention will declare for independent free coinage?" "I do not know whether It will or not. But if it does not the party will not stand the ghost of a show. Tne people are not going to follow a platform any more which is meaningless or. intended to deceive. Federal office holders and whisky gauger3 may succeed In controlling conventions like they did in Kentucky, but the people will not follow them." Would not a declaration of free coinage lose the vote in the large cities?" "It would unquestionably lose votes In some cities, but we would gain In others."

MBSBBNSBBBBBSBSSBMBBBBBlBBBBnBMBlMSBISBBMHBBMaSSBSSBBB) Cheap Material In Car Wheels. Providence Journal. A manufacturer of car wheels states in the Street-railway Journal that he is obliged to use the cheapest kind of scrap because the mangers of some electric roads refuse to pay for good iron. If this is the case we may expect to hear of more accidents like that in New Bedford, where thirty passengers were Injured by the breaking of a wheel, which, when examined, was found to be granular, and not firm and clear. There Is no economy In buying wheels made of poor material. One accident may cost enough to equip the entire system with reliable wheels. The wise railway managers will not tempt Juries to award heavy damages by refusing to allow the wheel manufacturer a fair profit on an honest article. Help for Kate SprRRae. NEW YORK, July 21.

AS A SHIPPIxW POLNT IXDIANAPOLIS 1HS FAVORABLE CONDITIOXS I!S THIS IICSPECT. The Local Horse Market Is Improving Some Parry Company Making . Electric Vehicles. Said the president of one of Indianapolis's largest Industries who each year ship3 more goods than any other manufacturer: 'T have traveled a goba deal and have yet to see a place where goods can be shipped under a favorable conditions as at Indianapolis. To begin with, Indianapolis has a Belt read which connects the fifteen roads centering here and over. which any point reached by rail in the United States can.be billed to. In two hours after receiving an order for a carload of goods it is loaded and on the way to Its destination. Then there are 255 switches leading to the various Industries in the city and its immediate suburbs, and the switching charge over the Belt road or any of the switches leading to the industries is but U a car, while it Is double that amount at most shipping points. This is not all. Nine-tenths of the Indianapolis Industries are within ten minutes' drive of the city freight depots, and this Is a more important item than many may think, as only about 25 per cent, of the manufactured articles at Indianapolis are shipped in carload lots and the other freight must be taken to one of the city freight depots to be shipped. These city depots are commodious and convenient. And coming to rates, no point offers more favorable rates. Competition is sharp, the representatives of the roads are on the alert, and if one line offers a cut rate, the line one wants to ship over will meet it as any shipper will admit. Inquiry will show that rates from Indianapolis in all directions on such goods as are shipped from here are equally low. if not below those at other manufacturing centers." He then cited several manufacturing centers at which rates are higher on the same distance on the class of goods they manufacture than from Indianapolis, and by well-founded statements he showed that his statement in the beginning of this article was correct. A Demoralised, Industry. Said one of the largest wool dealers in this city: "I have been in business thirtyfive years and in my business career I have never seen a more demoralized industry than that of raising wool. Prices have dropped to such figures that there Is no money In raising sheep for their wool. Last year I handled for myself and another dealer here 400,000 pounds of wool. This year we have handled but 120,000 pounds, and about 200,000 pounds will be handled in this market against 800,000 last year. In thirty-seven townships in this State where - I have usually purchased eight to ten carloads of wool, this year I got but one- carload, and it. was practically all the wool in that section. In early May, when the clip began to come in, I thought there was to be a very fair business, but. after two weeks wool ceased coming In and I sent out agents to see what was the matter. Inquiry showed that, the wool growers had become discouraged and in many cases sold their sheep to be killed." He feared that Indiana as a wool-growing State had lost Its standing. Horse Market Taking: Better Shape. Blair &. Baker state that the last few days the horse market has improved and really good horses are bringing better prices. This is the season of the year when net much activity is expected in the horse market anywhere, yet there are iow here Eastern buyers and some foreign buyers, and the class of horses they want will command very fair prices compared with thirty days ago, when horses all over the country sold at a lower figure than at any time in the last thirty . years. A horse which Is not perfectly sound will not now cell at what would be called a decent price, as no horses are now wanted for street cars. Common plug horses sell low, especially if blemished or in thin flesh, but good shapely blocks weighing from 1.100 to 1,200 pounds and drivers about that weight are the best sellers. It would be difficult to quote prices, as the figures at which horses sell vary with the number of buyers and the demand on the day of the auction sales. A Novel t'ndertaklnn:. The Parry Manufacturing Company has commenced the building of six four-wheeled horseless surreys and buggies to be moved by different powers, the whole undertaking being in the nature of an experiment. Two will be equipped with electric motors, two with the German Damond engine, the other two with gasoline motors similar to those used in small boats. Mr. Parry expects to get some of these vehicles out In about thirty days, but will investigate the matter systematically and thoroughly, and then decide if either has merit, and the one which pertorms the most satisfactorily will be further developed. Industrial Xotes. The ' Brice Bakery Company is making considerable additions to its plant, Increasing its capacity one-third, at an expense of several thousand dollars. The Jenney Motor Company is so pressed with orders that it is working a day and night force. The demand for electrical apparatus is rapidly increasing. Vice President Landers, of the United States encaustic tile works, states that they now have more orders than at any time In the last two years, and the plant Is being run to its utmost capacity. The flouring mills are beginning to increase their production, running a bouO twothirds their capacity, which Is better than last month, but not as favorable an exhibit as list year's corresponding period. President Helwig, of the Indianapolis Chair Company, states that the advance of prices in goods has not seemingly checked. its trade. Last week tne company tncreasea its force thirty men, and now nearly four hundred are employed. President Bennett, of the Indianapolis Stove Company, states that with them business is very quiet, but usually Is in July, yet the outlook for a good fall trade is not such as he would like to see. Still he thinks the recent rains may greaily Improve the situation. The Lilly Varnish Company reports its busings a.H gcoi, and this morning will commc.i; enlatglng its plant at a cost of i'X This company has a large trade with ra-Uwr shops, and with the better times the ra.iways are beginning to varnish their itUprant, which is helping the Lilly company.

President Ketcham. of the Brown-Ketch-am architectural iron works, states that they are working a full complement of men and are quit? busy, new work coming in about as lst as they turn out orders already undertaken. Within the last ten daya they hiv-i made several good contracts for building outside of the State, and at better figures than for many months.
