OUTLAW IN CUSTODY. 3Ieek Fnnill .Murderer Reported to Have Been Captured In California. I IAN FORD. Cal.. Jan. 30.-Sheriff Puckner Is positive that he has captured George Taylor, the notorious Missouri outlaw and murderer who escaped the hangman's noose for the munler of the Mee-ks family. Yesterday 11. F. Lane, who had known Taylor veil In Missouri, saw him on the streets of Hanford. He Immediately notified Sheriff Buckner. but by that time the man had left town and the officers lose track of him. Later, however, he was located In a sheep camp fourteen miles southwest of Hanford. near Tulare lake. The officers, knowing the desperate nature of the man they were after, waited until dark and then surrounded the camp. Taylor was completely surprised and made no resistance. He was brought back to Hanford and lodged In jail. When In irons the arrested man recognized Lane and accused him of giving him away to the olfie-ers, adding with an oath that he knew I,ane in Missouri, where they T.-ere toys together, riherifr Ituckner has notified the Mistouri officials of his capture and wi!I send a. photograph of the man that he may be. thoroughly identified. Taylor's sensational escape from a Missouri jail several months ago was widely published. Ills brother was haged shortly afterward for complicity in the Meeks murder. sTHKirr si.wg. Peculiar LnneanKf of the Tenement Truer d to It Origin. Harper's Weekly. The words and phrases in New York's slang which are rooted in the sense of humor of the people are very many. The wortl "growler" is accounted for in two ways, both of which credit the term with a humorous derivation. A "growler." be it known, is any vessel pail, pitcher or canthat is sent to the corner saloon for the family supply of lager beer. Jt is said that the word grew out of the protests of the girls who did not like to be sent to the saloons, or out of the "growling'' (slang for grumbling) of the children whose play in the streets was interrupted by their having to perform similar errands. On the other hand, the quarreling that followed too frequent emptyings cf the can by "gangs." or social coteries of drinking men. is said to have given the beer vessel its nickname. The horse? play of the mountebanks In the variety shows I commonly called "funny business," and the term has now come to be applied to all rough play frolicking, ecuffiing and practical joking among the masses. A flimsy excuse or transparent lie Is called a "sons and dance." "Why didn't you k-ep your engagement? Now don't grlve me no song and dance." is an example cf the use of this queer phrase. The old elans words, "cheek" and "gall meaning assurance have been 'supplanted by the word "front," and we hear nowadays that a man who is unblushingly audacious, assuming or presuming has. not "the front of Jove himself," as Shakspeare wrote, but "an awful front a front like de courthouse." A tipsy man. whose uncertain locomotion carries him swaying from side to Bide of the pavement, is declared to have a "skate," or to have "his skates on." Men who drink too much and too frequently are said to suffer from "hitting the bottle." At first It was said of the opium smokers that thsy "hit the pipe" as all plp smokers do. to cleanse the instrument so that hitting anything has come to signify an abuse of the habit with which the article thus "hit" is intimately connected. It Is a humorous conceit that led to the flaying, applied to nil who are dull or obtuse. "He has a fog In his head." With the same spirit a very rich ierson. or one "who Is prodigal with his wealth, is said to have "money to burn." To me-et with a cool reception Is called "getting u frost." To steal is to "pinch," and to be arrested for it Is to get "pinched." though the genuine and general slang phrase for getting arrested Is "getting the collar." a term growing naturally out of the action of an fticer In hust'lng an offender along with a grip upon his collar. Anything and everything that is done easily or quickly is said to bo done "in a walk." Men are said to "get rich In a walk" or to win a boat race "in a walk." That is an expression borrowed from the turf, which has also lent to New York the word "ringer." i rhaf.s the most dllficult to explain of all the local slang terms, and yet. like all slang, most concise and expressive to all who make use of It. A "ringer." in slang, is anything that looks like what tt i.-i not: so that if a person is thought to closely resemble G rover Cleveland he Is spoken eif as "a ringer on the 1'resldent." or If he Wears a brilliant bit of glass it is said to be "a elead ringer on a diamond." "Iead" signifies the utmost, the Veriest, that which is absolute. aaiio. mines hoim:. The Building. Over n Century Old, In Still Standing;. Philadelphia Telegraph. On the corner of Hudson and Charlton streets, New York, Is a frame building which, to a critical eye, would seem to be tumbling down. or. rather, would apparently te if it were not held up by the adjoining building. The window frames, which once were square, are out of plumb, dropping downward on the south side. The ceilings are low on every iloor, and on the Hudson-street front the t;rst iloor. which is u dttle above the si. It walk and reached by a few steps, has been transformed into a couple of small stores, while the entrance to the upinr Iloor 1st trained through a door on Chariton street. An extension has been erected on this side to the main building. o s to cover the lot. sayn the Mail and Express. The? building was formerly the farmhouse of Auron Uurr. and was located on the top of Richmond Hill, through which Varick street wis cut. When the;e streets were laid out the old farmhouse was brought down to the road, which Is now Hudson street, ami placed on a vacant lot. then and now at the corner of Charlton street. Opposite to it was placed another frame house, which had been removed after the gnat tires of 15.V, and is 13. from the "Old Iirown Jug." This removal had been caused by the extension of the fire limits In the lower portion of the city. A few years ago the "Old Crown Jug" building was condemned and torn down. In its Place a brick structure has been erected. Hut. so f;r. th- old Burr house has been spared, for. although it is out of plumb, the building was so strongly constructed that there is little danger of its falling. For many years the old house was occupied by an old-time "leather-head watchman." who. after his retirement from that service, employed his time In making leather traveling trunks, which he sold on this corner, occupying the upper floors with his family. At his death, a few years ago, the family, like many of those who formerly resided In "Greenwich village." removed to the upper part of the city, and the building has since ceased to be Inhabited by one family.

Stuart .said, when informed that Governor Sadler had sijnied the bill licensing glove contests, that the news did not surprise him. Mr. Stuart said he was especially pleased with the feature of the bill requiring certificates from physicians that the boxers were in good health and physically prepared for the contests In which they were to engage. Mr. Stuart said he received a message from Corbett saying that he would start at once from Chicago for Kansas City and engage in preliminary light training. He also received a telegram from Martin Julian that I-"itzsimmons's hands are in perfect condition, and that Fitzsimmons had gone into regular, but, for the present, light training. Mr. Stuart said he would start within the next three days for Nevada, and as soon as possible make his choice of a town for the battle. When that is done he will begin work at once on an amphitheater capable of housing from to 30.000 spectators. Ho also said he was going to try to add a new feature to the carnival In the shape of a grand wing-shot event, to be participated in by the leading wing shots of the country, including Edgar Murphy and Fred lloey. Will l ight In the Afternoon. SAN FIJANCISCO. Jan. 20.-ViIllam Kenyon Wheelock, the partner of fightpromoter Dan Stuart, is here fresh from the scene of his triumph In Nevada. Wheelock said yesterday that he was thoroughly satisfied with all that had transpired at Carson, and that Corbett and Fitzsimmons would meet In the ring in that State beyonel the shadow of a doubt. He said decisively that neither Stuart nor himself had given the sdghte-st intimation as to what particular place In Nevada would bo selected for the fight. "Of course," he said, "all the towns up that way are bringing pressure to bear, but a whole lot of things will need to be considered in locating the arena. Every one can rest assured that no decision will be reached in that direction until Mr. Stuart puts In an appearance I expect he will be along inside of a week, and then th'i matter of a ringside will be taken up." Wheelock said that in all probability there would be; one other contest In addition to the Corbett-Fitzsimmons match. "We will very likely have a two-tight programme." he said. "Mr. Stuart is anxious to get some one to go against Feter Maher, anel if (Joddard were in this country now he would undoubtedly be given the chance. We thought of Sharkey, and it might be that an effort will be made to induce the sailor to meet Maher. We heard that Sharkey Is not looking for a light, but as it has been freepjently said that he bars nobody, I hardly see how he can refuse a chance of this kind. Anyhow, if he eloes net think well of it, we will find some one else. The contest between Corbett and Fitzsimmons will take place by daylight." said Wheelock. The Intention is to have it between noon and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. George Silcr, of Chicago, will be the referee, the principals having selected him at the time the match was arranged. Corbett Will Soon IleIn to Train. CHICAGO. Jan. 30. Feb. 5. James J. Corbett will close his present theatrical season at Kansas City and as fast as an overland exp'ress can take him he will go to California. A few days' rest to remove the effects of the journey and tho nghter, together with four trainers, will focsin. the task of petting In prime condition for the meeting with Fitzsimmons in Nevada, on St. Patrick's day. Five weeks is the exact time Corbett expects to put in taking on the finishing touches for the struggle for the championship. lleno'n Hotel Accommodation. RENO, New, Jan. CO. The city cf Reno can accommodate 2,i visitors now and amplo accommodations will be provided for all comers when definite information Is obtained as to the probable attendance at the coming athletic entertainment. Carson City seems to be out of the question on account of inadequate railroad, telegraph and hotel facilities. TYYE.TV-ItorM IIOl'T. Hniitnm Sammy Kelly and Jliumy IJarry Fig lit to Draw. NEW YORK, Jan. Z' The twenty-round bout between the well-known bantams. Sammy Kelly, of New Y'ork, and Jimmy Harry, of Chicago, attracted a largo crowd of sporting men to the Broadway Athletic Club to-night. The?e two boys went the distance without either gaining any elecided advantage and the referee, Dick Roche, declareel the bout a draw. This decision was popular and although Barry was the favorite In the betting there was no grumbling on either side. Kelly weighed about six pounds heavier than the Western lad, but Barry's condition was so good that he. withstood this disadvantage. Before tho big light Jack Hannigan, of Pittsburg, was bested in six reunds by Iiillv O'Donnell, of Memphis, and Loudon Campbell, of Philadelphia, got the decision over Jack Smith, of Norfolk, In two rounds. Barry was the favorite in the betting, his friends laying (n'.ds of ltK) to 7i on his chance of winning. In the first four rounds Harry was the aggressor and pushed the lighting, but wan cleverly met by Kelly. In the lifth Kelly planted a left-hand swing on the jaw which sent Barry to the iloor on his back and be remained there for nine se-coneis. When he got up Barry adopted huging tactics and would not let go when the referee told him. They had to be pulled apart whn time was called. The fight from this point up to the thirteenth reiund was hotly contested, with neither man having a decided advantage. Rounds!! to VJ, inclusive, were uninteresting. In tho twentieth and last round Barry sent Kelly to the iloor with a right swing on the head and then rusheel his opponent viciously. Kelly got in two goexl lefts on the face, but Barry sent back a hard left on the neck. Kelly landed his double right on body and heart, although Barry trieel hard to avoid it. They exchanged lofts on the face and were sparring when the gong ended the bout. The referee declared the bout a draw. li"colx ix Tin: wihti: iim sh. HIn Wife n Worthy Helpmeet In Spite of Partisan Slanders. Harper's Magazine. Washington in 1 was essentially Southern in all its ramifications. In politics and social life the capital was decidedly, even aggressively. pre:-slavery. Fnr these conditions the- occupancy of the White House by a "black Republican" President and his wife was a peculiarly hateful event to a large proportion of its society. Society was. in fact, torn up root and branch by the impending civil war: everything was chaos and had to be re-organized from the foundation. It was under these adverse circumstances that Mrs. Lincoln became mistress of the White House. Every ingenuity ef malice was reported to to discredit the new regime. Both the President and his wife were mercilessly lampooned, and yet Mrs. Llne-edn was the peer of any woman in Washington In education and character, as well as the barren ideality" of birth. W. O. Stoddard. enc of the private" see-re taries, and a keen observer, in his little book. "Inside the White House in Wartime." says that Mrs. Lincoln was prepared to assume a leading part. As her lieutenant In the otlkial household, lie noted that :die was an authorlative mistress, but listened patiently to sensible representations, and oftentimes yii'aKd her judgment: that her instructions were given in a kindly anil vivacious manner: that she was a pleasantlooking woman "bright, cheerful, almost merry" sometimes. The servants always spoke of her as "the madam." S lys Stoddard: "As you look at her and talk with her the fact that she has so many enemies strikes you as one of the moral euriositlej of this venomous time." She drts--e-d well, even e xtravagantly. In her little twxk. "Behind the Scenes." Mrs. Keckley, who was Mrs. Lincoln's dre-s-maker. speaks of having made' fifteen dreses for her in three or four months. This authority says no queen could have compcrttd herself with mere dlqnlty than Mrs. Lincoln a.t all public functions. Yet this wonxui was stigmatized bv a

certain class of Washington society as low. vulgar, and even ignorant without any quaiiheations for the high station to which tho had been called. The calumny which -Jvounded her most deeply was her alleged sympathy with the rebellion, which-had its sole foundation in the fact that her Kentucky half-brothers were Confederates, although she had held r.o Intercourse with them since her childhood. It was said and believed that she hampered her husband in every possible way in tho prosecution of the war. In selfprotection she wished Mr. Stoddard to examine all her correspondence, it is certain that she loyally tie si re el the success of her husband and the great cause he so ably directed. In a printed letter to Mrs. Keckley Mrs. Lincoln asserts positively that her sympathies were strongly with the Xorth during tho war, and always. "I have never failed to urge my husband to be an extreme Republican." As Lincoln always oonsulte-d and relied upon her judgment, it Is harddly probable he would have taken the advanced Republican- ground against slavery In his house-divided-against-itself speech In lv without her approval, which strongly corroborates her claim.

Brooklyn, has Inaugurated a children's luncheon that has proved a success. It was planned by Mrs. A. Gl?n. of Ray Ridge. A large room has been equipped with tables anel chairs, and there such of the scholars as desire It are served with luncheon eluring the noon hour. In the center of the room Is a table reserved for the principal and teachers. Ranged about the sides are the tables at which the scholars eat. Mrs. Glen prepares all the food at her home, and it is whole-some and appetizing. The prices, while low, yield a satisfactory profit: The bill of fare is as follows: Home-made soups, with bread 3 cents (Oxtail, kidney, potato, chicken or pe-a. One kind only prepared each day.) Cocea or coffee Scents Cocoa or coffee, with sandwich..!... 5 cents Hot or cold milk .v.

All the scholars, boys and girls, take turns waiting on the table, being alloweel 7 cents' worth of lunch for each day's service. This service is already having a noticeable effect upon the manners of the children, which is by no means the least advantage of the lunchroom. What a beneficent institution this is proving itself can easily be understood by the mothers who obligeel to rush their children through a hasty luncheon so they can get back to scifjol in time. At present the gymnasium Is used for the lunchroom, but it has alre-ady been decided that a separate room shall be provided for this purpose. Wealthy Indian Dead. Kansas City Journal.

T., where it was buried in the Indian burying ground. Matthias Splitlog was one of the most influential red men in the West during the elays that his race inhabited the wild prairies of Kansas, and at tho time of his death was one of the most famous of his tribe. He was unusually intelligent for one of his race, and possessed good business qualifications. The deceased belonged to a Canadian tribe, but drifted into Ohio, where he married a Wyanelotte Indian and was adopted into the tribe. After his marriage he came to and located with "the remaindei of the Wyandottes at the mouth of the Kaw. He at one time owned a large portion of the land upon which the city of Kansas City. Kan., now stands. There is a Splitlog park and n Splitlog avenue in that city, which were nametl after this famous Indian. Among the lands at one time owned by Splitlog is the tract known as Orchard place, all the bottom land in Riverview. now occupied by the Cypress yards, the Riverside iron works and tho new Metropolitan power house. An Eastern syndicate closed a contract with Splitlog for the purchase of this land, and the day the sale was to have been made the? representatives of the syndicate and Splitlog ret in the oluec of the Northrup Rank, In Kansas City. Kan., and proceeded to make the transfer. The syndicate people tendered Splitlog a check fcr $100,000. which was the contract price of the land, but the "big chief" refused to accept it. claiming that nothing but gold was money with him. After a consultation a trip was made to this city, where the required amount of gold was secured and given to Splitlog. llonibny Mall 1)11 nf eeted. NEW YORK. Jan.

TR0CHA FORTS TAKEN

SPAMSII GAHIUSOXS FORCED TO SlKItEXIJEU TO IXSl HGKXTS. Dynamite Gun I'setl by Cubans with Good Kflect Wejler'n Troops Deaterting Prisoner Shot. CINCINNATI. O., Jan. 30. -A special to tho Commercial Tribune from Key West, Fla., says: A daring attack was made on tho trocha west of Artemisa last week. A strong force of insurgents under Col. Pedro Nodarz attacked fort No.-10, and after two hours' lighting dislodged the garrison. After summoning the fort to surrender, which was refused, he ordered the dynamite gun to open on it. The first shell flew wide, but the second and third made big gaps in the sides, killing several of the garrison. A furious infantry fire was maintained and soon the garrison flew the white flag. They were all paroled. Fifteen of the garrison were killed, while but one Cuban was hurt. Proceeding to the next fort, the garrison there came over to his forces at the first demand and stated that they wished to fight for Cuba. They were sick at heart of the murderous work which they were obliged to do. There were one hundred men and three officers, with a goodly supply of ammunition. Both forts were destroyed. At fort No. 7 a stout resistance was made, but two shots from the dynamite gun compelled it to surrender. Tha garrison were allowed their freedom. This fort was burned also. In all, three forts, much valuable ammunition, guns, etc., wero secured. At fort No. 6 a strong Spanish reinforcement had been received, and the Cubans move el off. This leaves the trocha open for any Cuban band that may desire to pass through. One of Sanguin's guerrilla bands entered a small town. Montrovia, and told the people to move to San Cristobal at once. The town was the-n burned. Six men were shot. Sixteen of the women were taken "prisoners" and turned over to tho tender mercies of the men by Captain Mordardo. Two of them killed themselves with daggers, rather than suffer the fate in store for them. San Cristobal and Artemisa are now croweleel with poor people compelled to live in the towns garrisoned by Weyler's terrors. General KolofTn Charges. NEW YORK, Jan. 3).-The examination of Gen. Carlos Roloff, Enrique Trujillo and Dr. Joseph J. Luis, alleged Cuban liilibusters, was to have been continued before Commissioner Shields to-day, but District Attorney McFarlane was granted an adjournment for a week on the ground that the essential witnesses are away from the city. General Roloff alleges that the United States authorities are juggling with these cases in the hope that the Cubans can be forced into accepting the terms or the agreement said to have been entered Into by the Madrid and Washington governments before the expiration of President Cleveland's terra of olttce. The general professes to believe that, in effect, he is being held as a hostage for whose safety tho Cubans may he induced to concede essential demands on the Spanish government. Memhern of the Junto Indicted. IJALTIMORE, Jan. 30. Gen. Carlos Roloff and Dr. Jos. J.

The last mall from the European continent brings positive news of the growing discord between the. duke and duchess of Aosta. The duchess, while living still under the same roof with her husband, has packed up her personal belongings and moved into apartments as far from his as the contines ef the palace permit. At tho same time she has made, to a considerable circle of friends, slurring remarks regarding her relations with her husband, and has spoken with flippant sarcasm of the marital duties supposed to be especially bineh'tig upon princes and princesses of tho blood. This culmination of domestic misery, due largely perhaps to the eluchess's varied experience in love affairs before marriage, is rather more interesting than the usual family eiuarrels of royalty, for it has not even the remotest hint of the orelinary love intrigues on the part of the head of the household. No actress, opera singers, countesses cr princesses have cre-nt into the- preverblal domestic Eden to allure the prince and estrange his affections. No accusation of neglect has been laiel at the door of the duke of Aosta. No blame is attached to his moral conduct since his marriage. In fact, he plays jn unimportant part in the whole scandal, merely serving the purpose of bringing into a clearer light the peculiar willfulness, the flippancy and the fickleness of his young wife. It is sufficient, therefore, to describe him as King Humbert's nephew, who emce was expected to sueceetl to the Italian throne after his uncle's death, since the crown prince was small and weakly, anel hael the reputation of a weman-hater. As a nice-looking young man of fair military talents, he promised to be as respectable a figure-heael as the present king and to provide a line of heirs too numerous to leave any chance of the elynasty's shrinking away for lack of ablebodied men. This rather negative prince, at the age of twenty-six. was married to Princess Helene of Orleans, daughter of the count of Paris, at Kingston-on-the-Thames, just eighteen months ago. She was then twenty-four years old, rather mature in years for a handsome girl of royal blood, and still more mature in her experience with the world. It is excusable, because true, to say that she is exceptionally comely, even though she Js a princess. She is of the French style of beauty which most closelv resembles the American style tall, slender, graceful, active, ami yet neither nervous nor angular. She is high strung, yet of a happy exposition when not under the burden of disagreeable duties. She would be called lively and stunning If she were an American girl under discussion among young American men. She Is, or was. also ambitious. She belonged to the class of girls who flirt and revel in the affairs of the heart just this side of the berderland of love: consequently, she fell in love before reaching the mature age at which she married. The man she loveel wrs the heir to the Bnglish throne, the duke of Clarence, known in England before his eleath as "Collars and Cuffs." As she was ambitious, this may have been a case of love's going where it was sent; at all events, she loved him. A thousand authorities French. German, Knglish and Spanish might be quoted to support this statement. It suihce.5 here to quote the words of a woman friend who sympathizes with her in her present domestic troubles, and lias sent to Berlin trom the Italian capital an explanation of her present conduct. This woman says: "The Princess Helene of Orleans, after her fondest dream of marriage with the eluk of Clarence and Avonelale had shattered on the difference of their religious creeds, had but one wish left; this was that, in case she should marry, she should gain a throne anel be a queen. Thrones are scarce, however, and she seemed to have little chance of gratifying her last fervent wish. Then came the proposal of the duke of Aosta. As is well known, she once had gone on her knees to the Pope and begged him to let her change her religion, or, at

least to give her permission to marry a, Protestant, even though her children must be reared In the Church of England In accordance with the creed of their father. The holy father answered that she might not risk her eternal salvation by marrying the heir to the Bnglish throne. Miserable and embittered, the Princess Helene turned away from Rome and returned to her home. The duke of Clarence became betrothed to his cousin, the Princess May of Teck, but died soon afterward.

"Princess Helene thought of all this when she received the proposal of the duke of Aosta. "What would the Pope say If she should bear an heir to the Italian throne, as daughter of a reigning house that stood In almost open antagonism to the Vatican? So. half out of ambition and half out of defiance, she gave her hand to the duke of Aosta. He was supposed to be the heir to the throne, as the crown prince then was not expected to take a wife." All this dream of defiance and power was dissipated by the subsequent course of the Prince of Naples. He fell in love with the luxuriant beauty of the Princess Helene of Montenegro, made her his wife', and filled the eve of roval Europe as the coming King of Italy. The Duke of Aosta lost his halo of prespective power: he was the Plain Duke of Aosta, now and to come. The ambitious girl of the house of Orleans found nothing to console her in her surroundings. Her husband was unloved, his mother vas of tho hated Bonaparte family; his prospects were null; a princess of a house acknowledgeel by royalty only a few years since hail usurped her place at court. This princess of a half barbaric family would have precedence at court, would eclipse her at all public functions, could snub her if she would, and there would be no redress. Why keep up the Action of a marries! life? She had once looked forward to being a queen in England: she had raised her eyes even to the Czarina's dignity in St. Petersburg. Sho had lost a man she loveel and one she could endure for the pomp and honor he would bring her. She was tleel to a man who for her was a noboely; she coulel not break the bond, but she would stretch It, and this she did. She had no child: she expected none. "The other Helen will now have to take the responsibility of assuring the dynasty," she remarked to her friends aa soon as the betrothal of the Prince of Naples was announced. "I am no longer bound by it." Her mother and brother besought her to keep up the appearance of a happy married life. A sister-in-law, from the houso of Hapsburg, elevoted half her time for weeks to arguing with her against making a scandal. It was all labor lost. The invariable reply of the self-willed young wife was: "I have no more responsibility for the continuance of the dynasty; the other Henen has married Into it; she has the honor and she must accept the burden, too. I shall not live with him any longer. I cannot and I will not.' And she moved Into her separate apartments and does not see her husband even at meals. That Is the end of the domestic relations into which an unloving princess and an unloved prince entered just eighteen months ago. TALL II AT CEXTEXARY. Row the First Silk Hat Startled Eng. land's 3Ietropells. London Daily Mail. To-day is the centenary of the tall hat. For one hundred years now has the male world reviled the ugliness and the discomfort of this hat, and then carefully brushed up the venerated "stovepipe" hanging in the hall before venturing to challenge tho glance of neighbor or olficeboy. The "stovepipe" first made its appearance before an astonished world on the head of John Hetherington. a Strand haberdasher. He conceived the Idea that a tall hat would prove a most becoming addition to a gentleman's attire, and. acting upon the thought, calied on Winkle it Co., Fleet street, who, at that time, were purveyors to tho royal family, and from the plans which Hetherington laiel down the firm built a hat at the cost of 2. It was about ten inches high, spreaeling out bell shape at the top. with a wide brim, curved fore and aft. When finished it presented a neat appearance the fine silk body having a sheen on top and on the sides. Jan. 15, 1717. was the date fixed by Mr. Hetherington for his first appearance, in public with the new hat. He believed that in the natural course of events he would create a sensation, but he was not prepared for the commotion which followed. It was with no little trepidation that about 11 o'clock in the forenoon Mr. Hetherington emerged from his shop in the. Strand. His family advised against it. but he was determined, and forth he sallied. The Strand, as now, was one of the busy streets of London, and Mr. Hetherington had not walked ten feet before merchants and others, attracted by the unusual sight, Ftopped and gazed In wonder. Mr. Hetherington, however, moved on, but men who had only stopped to look now followed after him. and in less time than it takes to tell It the street was crowded with a howling mob. Those on the outskirts of the crowd elid not know tho nature of the trouble, if there was any, but they helped to swell the din. How Mr. Hetherington fared, however. Is best told by the journals of that date, whose pages have been searched for Information by "The Tailor and Cutter's" special commissioner. One gazette gave this account of the remarkable event: "John Hetherington. haberdasher, of the Strand, was arraigned before the lorel mayor yesterday on a charge of breach of the peace and inciting to riot, and was required to give bond in tho sum of 50). It was in evidence that Mr. Hetherinton, who Is well connected, appeared on the public highway wearing upon his head what he called a silk hat (which was offered in evidence), a tall structure having a shiny luster, and calculated to frighten timid peonle. As a matter of fact the officers of the Crown stated that several women fainted j at the unusual sight, while children sereameel. dogs yelped, and a young son of Cordiwiner Thomas, who was returning from a chandler's shop, was thrown down by the crowd which had collected, anel had his right arm broken. For these reasons the elefenelant was seized by the guarels and taken before the lord mayor. In extenuation of his crime the elefendant claimed that he had not violated any law of the kingdom, but was merely exercising a right to appear in a headdress of his own design a right not denied to any Englishman." Tho Times of the same date (Jan. lfi. 173), in commenting on Mr. Hethcrington's appearance rather inclined to encourage the innovation saying, among other things "In these days of enlightenment it must be considered an advance in dress reform, and one which is bound, sooner or later, to stamp its character upon the entire community. The new hat is destined to work a revolution in headgear, and we think the officers of the crown erred in placing the defendant under arrest." The trade" apparently concerns Itself not at all with the centenary. At Lincoln & Dennett's yesterday, where a Daily Mail reporter made inquiry, the manager said that no attempt woulu be made, so far as he knew, to eelebrato Hethcrington's daring eloect of Jan. 1.". 1707. He also went so far as to assert that tall hats had been worn some years before that elate, and referred in a hazy kind of way S.o "old prints." The manager pointed to a pile of press cuttings on his desk as evidence of the fact that the Idea of a tall hat centenary was somewhat widespread, however. At Scott's they were equally Ignorant. But it is amusing to note that there also the idea prevailed that the tall hat was more than 100 years old. "Old prints" were again referred to. but all attempts to pin the manager to some speci.lc date for any such work of art bearing upon the question proved futile. An interesting fact gathered by the Daily Mall reporter in his travels was that in some parts of the country the old-fashioned "beaver" is still In elemand. and that several cf these cumbrous coverings are made yearly for particular customers, who are content to pay elouble for the privilege of being out of the fashion. How He Got Even. Washington (Ind.) Gazette. Said the veteran Phtl Hart, ex-clty clerk: "You were saying that Cairo, III., was once considered quite a town, and now we rarely see it mentioned or hear of it. It Is one of the has beens. Situated where the Ohio empties its yllow stream Into the father of waters, it is subje-ct to overflows and its sidewalks tire built on trestle work and are as high above the ground as this ceiling. I wid never forget a funny thing that occurred there during the war. I was returning to my regiment, after having been home on a furlough, and stopped at Cairo for dinner. I took my valise in the dining room and placed it by my side on a chair at the table. While I was eating the landlord came around and asked who owned the valise. 1 told him. Ho said th:it as the grip occupied a chair at the table lie would have to charge me an additional 75 ce nts. I tokl hirn all right, if that was the rule, but that 1 had bee n afraid to leave it In the olliee. there were so many thieves about the place. After I had linished my meal I unlocked my valise and proceeded to dump into it all the grub I could reach from the table. The landlord noticed me and asketl what I meant by such monkey business. 1 told him that if I had to pay for a dinner for my valise it had a right to have Its dinner. Kick? How could he? He saw that I had him. Gen. Grant, who was sitting opposite me (he was on his way to Vlcksburg). smiled an approving smile, but said nothing. Oh! in those days, when I had two good arms and lots of nerve. I always got even with a man who trie-d to Impose upon me." Countess Rossi, a lady cf American origin, re-cently rresteel at Paris on a charge of swindling, was yesterday released, insanity being given as tho reason for her acquittal.

1XTEUESTIXG SKETCH OF GEXERAL. rHEMOXT, THE lVATIIFIXDEH. The llnrdfthlpn Throngh Whleh He Went and the Grent Service He Rendered the l otted States. Fittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Few men in American history have as interesting a record as has Gen. John Charles Fremont. he "Pathfinder." In whose honor a reunion is being held in this city. He was born In Savannah, Ga., Jan. 21, 1S12. His father was a Frenchman, who had settled In Norfolk. Va., where he supported himself by teaching the French language. In ISIS he died, and his widow, a Virginian, whose maiden name was Whiting, with three infant children, settled tn Charleston, S. C. At the age of fifteen John Charles entered the junior class of Charleston College, and for a time he made a remarkably good headway in the study of mathematics. Finally ho grew careless, and by his inattention and frequent absences he was expelled from the school. After his expulsion he secured employment as a private teacher of mathematics, and took charge at the same time of a night school. In 1S33 he became a teacher of mathematics on board the sloop of war Natchez, then in the port of Charleston, from whence she sailed on a crulso to South America. Fremont was absent on this trip for more than two years, and on his return he passed a rigorous examination at Baltimore for the post of professor of mathematics in the navy, and was appointed to the frigate Independence; but he soon resolveel to quit the sea and engaged as a surveyor and engineer on a railroad line betwen Charleston and Augusta, Ca. In 1S37 he accompanied Captain Williams, of the army, oh a military ree'onnolssance of the mountainous Cherokee country' in Georgia and other Southern States. In 1S3S-9 ho accompanied M. Nicollet in explorations of the country line between tho Missouri and the British line. While thus engaged he received, in 1S3S, a commission from President Van Buren. under date of July 7 as second lieutenant in the corps cf topographical engineers. While at Washington, in the year 1S40, he met and wooed Miss Jessie Benton, the daughter of Col. Thomas H. Benton, at that time a senator from Missouri. An engagement was formed, but as the young lady was only fifteen years of age, her father objected, and probably through the potent influence of Colonel Benton, the young officer received a peremptory order from the War Department to make an examination of the river Dos Moines, on the Western frontier. The survey was rapidly done, and shortly after his return from this duty the lovers were secretly married on Oct. 1.. 1S41. On May 2. 1S42. he left Washington and made a survey of the entire territory of the United States from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean. He carefully examined the South pass and exploreel the Wind river mountains and ascended their highest point, and since known as Fremont's peak (13.510 feet.) His report of the expedition was laid before Congress in the winter of 1S42-3, and it attracted much attention at home and abroad. In May. 1S43. Fremont, with thirty-nine men, started to explore the then unknown region lying between the Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean. On Sept. 6 of the same year, after having traveled over 1.700 miles, Fremont and his party came in sight of the Great Salt Lake, of which no accurate account had ever been given. His reports effected important rectifications in geographical knowledge of this portion of the continent and had subsequently a powerful Influence in promoting the settlement of Utah and the Pacilic States, and from the Great Salt Lake he proceeded to the upper tributaries of the Columbia, whose valley he descended until he reached Fort Vancouver, near the mouth of that river. READY TO FIGHT. Fremont was brevetted captain in 1845 and then set out on his third expedition. This time he started for the great basin, the maritime region of Arizona and California. From there he proceeded to explore the Sierra" Nevada, which he crossed in the dead of winter with a few men, to obtain supplies from California. Then he made his way Into the valley of San Joaquin, where he left his men to recruit their strength, and went himself to Monterey, which was at that time the capital of California, to obtain from the Mexican authorities permission to proceed with his explorations. This was granted and then suddenly revoked, and Fremont was ordered to return to his men and take them out of the country. The Mexican governor general. Castro, mustered the forces of the province and prepared to attack Fremont's party, which numbered sixty-two men. Fremont took up a strong position and felled a lot of trees, with which he built a rude fort. He placei his men inside of this and then determined to light." Fremont bad an abundance of ammunition and did not feel at all alarmeel. Tho Mexicans formed a camp nearby, but the-y elid not seem to le in a hurry to attack the. Americans. After four days Fremont and his party withdrew towards San Joaquin. On May 9. near Tlamath lake Fre mont met a party in search of him with dispatches directing him to keep a lookout for the Interests of the United Suites In California, there being reason to apprehend that tho province would Ik transferred to Great Britain, and that General Castro intended to destroy the American settlements in the Sacramento. Fremont at once retraced his steps to California, anel ho founel that Gene-ral Castro was already marching on the settlements. The settlers rose in arms, llocke-d to Fremont's camp, anel under his leadership, the result was that in less than a month all northern California was forced from Mexican authority. On July 4 Fremont was elected Governor of California by the American settlers. On the 10th of that month he learned that Commodore Sloat, who was In command of the American squadron, had taken possession of Monterey. Fremont proceeded to join the naval forces and reached Monterey on the 19th with l(i mounted riflemen. On May 27 Fremont, who was now a lieutenant colonel, organizeel a band of men known as the California Battalion, of which he was appointed major. He was also appointed civil governor of the Territory, the project of making California Independant having been abandoned on receipt of news stating that war had been declared between the Lnited States and Mexico. On Jan. 13. 1S47. Fremont concluded with the Mexicans articles of capltution, which terminated the war and left California permanently in the possession of the United States. In the meantime General Kearny, with a small force of dragoons, arrived in Califor-' nia and a quarrel broke out between him and Commodore Stockton as to who should command. The latter was in command previous to Kearny's arrival, but each had orders from Washington to conquer and organize a governme nt In the country. Fremont had accepted the position of Governor from Commodore Stockton. General Kearny, as Fremont's superior officer, requireel him to obey his orders, which conflicted with those of Ccmmcdorc Stockton. In his dilemma Fremont decided to obey the orders of the latter, and then dispatches arrived from Washington terminating the cor.fiict and placing General Kearny in supreme command. TRIED FOR MUTINY. Fremont no longer hesitated to place himself under the direction of Kearny, who. In June, set out for the United States, and ordered Fremont to accompany him. On the journey the latter was treated with rank disrespect by his superior ollicer until at Fort Leavenworth. Kan., on Aug. 12, he put him under arrect and ellrecte-el him to report to the adjutant genera!. Beginning ISov. 2. 117. a court-martial was held, and it lasted until Jan. SI, 1ms. Fremont was found guilty of "mutiny, diso-be-elU-nce of the lawful command of a superior officer, anel conduct to the prejudice of good order and military eli.elpllne" and wai sentenced to be dismissed frtm the service. The majority of the board recommended him to the clemency of President Polk. The latter refused to confirm the mutiny clause, and pardoned Fremont from all the other charges. The latter, however, refused to avail himself of this, and forthwith resigne-d his commission. On Oct. H. Fremont started on another (the fourth) trip across the continent, at his own expense. With 33 men and 120 mules he made his way through the Indian country, the Utes, Apaches. Coman :hes and other IneUan tribes beinc at

war with the United States. In attempt Ing to crc?s the great Sierra, covered with snow, the party lost their wav and suffered great suturing from cold and hunger. A portion cf his men were driven to cannibalism, and ene-third of them perished, as did all of his animals. In lD the remainder of the party reached Santa Fe. He now settled In Califcrria. where, in 1S17. he had purchased the Mariposa estate. His title to the CMAte Mas questioned and contested, bat in lvV tne Supreme Court decidcel in his favor. In 14J he received from President Taylor a commission to run the boundary line tv-tweeri the United States and Mexico. In the same year he was appointed senator from California and took his siLt in the Senate on Sept. 1 1 .". the day ufier California was admitted as a State. In Septemlxr. lv"2. he fitted oat nnother expedition to cross the continent this one at his own expense also. He found pass, s through the mountains on the lir.e of latitude 2S degrees and S3 eb grees. and re-ached California in safety, alter enduring gre.it hardships. For fifty days his party lived on horseflesh and for forty-eight hours at a time were without food of any kind. The first Republican convention that wa ever held was held in old Lafayette Hall, which formerly stood at the southwest corner of Wood street and Fourth avenue. Here Fremont was nominated to the presidency of the United Stales on the Republican ticket. This he accepted In a letter dated July S. lv'. He was defeated by James Buchanan, lie receiving 174 electoral votes from nineteen States, while Fremont received 114 from eleven Slates. Soon after the civil war broke out Fremont was made major general and was anpolnteel to the command of the Western district. On Aug. 31. lv'.l. he issued an order emancipating all the slaves In his district, and for this he was relie ved of his command by the President. Three months later he was appointee! commander of the mountain district of Virginia, Kentucky ar.d Tennessee. He soon resigned and took r.o further part In the war. In PS4. on May 31, a convention of those who were dissatisfied with President Lincoln met In Cleveland and nominated Fremont to the presielency. He aceepteu, but withdrew some time later. In he was found guilty of fraud in Paris, but he was absent at the time. The fraud was In connection with a projected Southern transcontinental railway. From this time up to the time of his det.th. which occurred in New York city, on July 13. 1S:0, Fremont lived a retired life and took no active intere-st in buslner-a or politics.

ONE MORE ARREST, Dot the Victim In Not !- Murderer of Frank Redmond. Detective Richards returned at 10 o'clock last night from Greenfield, having in custody a man who gives the name of David B. Brown, of Elmira, N. Y. Brown had been seen about town for several days and was arrested as a suspect by the town marshal. He does not answer the description of the Redmond murderer, and will probably bo released as soon as Superintendent Colbert sees him. He says he is a butcher and is traveling about looking for work; that ho was in Muncie all day on Friday, Jan. 22, and during that night. He left there Saturday morning for Knlghtstowa and went from there to Greenfield. He says he can prove by several people in Munciej that ho was in that city Friday and Friday night.
