Tkenuolm, of South Carolina, publishes in the iast quarterly report of the Chief of the Cjreau of Sta- tistics of that State a paper on the per-eiate- fertility of cotton lands in the South, the conclusion arrived af, from a careful survey of tlnta extending hack to tho first planting of cotton in this country, being that iu the future as in the past the volume of our chiton product will be maint iined without au increase of the area at present under cultivation. There are farms in South Carolina which have been growing coiton for many years past, and which, under the careful management employed, maintain th ir productiveness unimpaired. Tun Boston Transcript declares the re- port that Mies Louisa M. Ahott is serious- ly ill as entirely without foundation. It has caused Miss Alcott much annoyance. She is spending the winter in Boston, and is porfpctly wtll, with '.he slight ex eption of a tjuch of writers' cramp in the right arm and hand, to w hich fact is doe the tho d delay in the appear- ance of her next book, a sequel to Li lit Men. Miss Alcott says that this cramp was brought on by replying to the many hundreds of requ-st- s for autographs she ha received, and she is now obliged to make it a rule never to reply, for they come in such numbers as greatly toincon-Teuienc- e h" Kbothlk Hebek Uewto.v, of Xew York, is is still marching oa to the "jumping-of- f place."

THE At Pittsburg Over a Sensational Story to the Effect that There is au Armed Organisation ef Dynamiters In That City Awaiting' a Favarulile Opportunity for an Outbreak. Details of the Thin as Published by the , General Uneasiness Prevailing. Pittsburg, February 3. The publica- tion of a lengthy article in the Chronicle-Tdearap- h this afternoon, in whish it was lusserted that there was an organization cf dynamiters in this city who were armed and waiting for a pretext for au outbreak, reated great excitement among the timid, and considerable anxiety is felt. The story, as published, is as follows: rni stobv. Within the past two weeks information has been received, piece by piece, which '1 shows that here in Pittsburg there is a smoldering volcano ready to break forth at any propitious moment. This information to the e fleet that dynamiters, armed and supplied with explosives, are ready to ause an outbreak whenever favorable, op portunities present, for several months f.useian ana two iuglish epies have eeu at work in Pittsburg aud vicinity a to lenrn who are in sympathy ith the Irish dynamiters. Pittsburg for long time nas been a source of large revenue to the dynaiuiters. The men in be mills and mines, who believe in the ttoctrine of mniiism, have been liberal ouators for the cause. Not from these men alone have donations to he Socialist cause been received. least two men who are famous the to country over, and are worth millions of oiiars, nave turnisuert money in consid erable sums. One Pittsburg millionaire referred to. It is said that not only has e furnished money to English and French Radicals, but also to German extreme Lib- - r.ils, who used the funds in the German richstag elections. He evidently did not intend the money to go into the" DYNAMITE BEASCn OF POLITICS, but a portion of it has drifted there nev- - rtheltss, for it has gone from one branch f extremists to the other. And now eb to current event have taken. It must e understood that it is a time of disaii'ec- - on and discontent among workingmen. iost of the workingmen, even those bo are out of emptoyoient and in sore etdof money, would scorn the aid of any icia'.isuc movement, and be among the rst to help suppress it. It is not this lass af men wiio are feared. There are t ihis moment, however, several thousand men in tuis county who would not stop t anything which would carry out their ideas of the rights of the poor men to the usstC:ons oi the rich. There has een no hesitation on their uart to talk openly in meetings and in the press. loese n:en nave gathered kindred spirits rom cnicago, lrom the blocking alley. from the anthracite and bituminous coal lines, to the western part of the ttate. These men have been drifting into the ity, singly and iu pairs, for a month or uore. Ihey have cnine here, they say. or work, bnt in reality to take hand in novement of rLCNDKR AND REVOLT AGAINST THE LAW. They have orginizHd within the pas' tirce weeks, h rom 1U00 to loOO guns and evolvers b.ve been received by men in his city. Some have couio with money rom Canada, others from Western points nd some from Eastern ciue3. These arms ave been put into the hands of only hose whose character is known, and who an be relied upon. In addition to these tr;us, a lure quantity of dynamite has een obtained by the revolutionists; some f this was brought from other points and Home made here by men who are not do-- az this sort cf work for the first time. i'uis dynamite is stored in two or three acrtt magazines, which are only known a the leaders. Itad sotinds extravagant nd reads like a wild sensation, perhaps, ut it is true, and known to be true by lerscns who have interests atstake. lheze len complain that they cannot had work, hat they are sintering from hunger, and a that plea claim that they arejustitied l any sort of a movement against the oill owners and capitalists. Several of hate men have been warned, or have the condition ot affairs in part, t;d Lavs notified the police. That there is n uneasy, restless feeling among ti" em is 'j true that it can be readily proven. The uiice have not been idle, but they have io results as yet. Ask for information. aud they will tell yon they know nothiug Do ut this matter, ooie ol tneni do not, In this movement there are all sorts of iements. German, Kusian, Italian, wedisn, bwissand irenca Socialists and ovolutiouists aud IRISH SY.VAM1TERS have joined forces. There are English interests io De reactiea nere oy irisn tynamiters, and representatives. too, and they knew n a month ago. .Local ."Socialists were at the sword's point with i ue Anarchists.jpure and simple ; now they .re tsarm .fiiends and allies, and have let together in more than one secret ueeting. W'Lat has brought them to te! her unless it may be a community of oterests? Thtse men are known, and so are their records and recent movement) known also on the other side of the Atlantic. The leaders of the movement iiave been looking lor Eome pretext lor the outbreak. sol later than Satur day the (ity had a narrow escape from just such a thing as tbefe men dessrved. t he natural gss explosion on Pennsylva nia evenue on Saturday caused hot in- dignation among the workiucmen. There was talk oi trouble and an attempt to tear up the gas pipes. vVi. er counsels pre vailed, but if there hail been further explo-rioa- s that ciht caused by the leaking gu it would lead to more serious trouble thsn seemed from the surface indications to be Dossible. The police force was sent out in force. The cellars of the houses in the neighborhood were opanikl to allow the uas to escape and the danger passed away, Still it was seen' and re.Tognized by the lichee, and the apprehension was not nuieted until the next day. More than one warning was given the police cn bat-- urdav that there was BREAK OF THE MOB n the Poaih Side, and if it had come the South bide mills would come in for hare of the trouble which would have followed, rretaiiuons are taking in case of an outbreak. There ia authority for .laying that perhaps before long the local military will hear of orders, wh ch they will understand then, because of this note of warning. Kecret agents have been and re at work here and elsewhere among the men. Johann Most, the Socialist leader, was in the Hocking Valley short time ago and in council with the revolutionists. He went into the Alahonintr Vallev too. where many thon pands of men were to be thrown out of work by ti.8 shutting down of the iron works in a few days, i.'e wa3 in I'ittsbure. loo, and ma-- e no public speeches bnt was patisnSI Wltn qaiet conierences. fiiere in no need of it grand scare on the head ot his unleiw theocelr'on these men looked for Mines. The statemeSU made above are not sensational e"ai:t:erat."n9 but known to be facts. In certain Quarters where such things are watched titers are men who have been in TEKKOB OF THEIR LIVES for weeks, who would only be too g'ad if thi was all a lie. The names and other information are known, and the proper au- thorities can have these if they have not a'.readv Jearned from their own investiga- tion. The reason given for this activity among the revolutionists now is that the successful explosions in London and else- where have emboldened this class of men. They eee that they have been able to fivaethe famous police forces of Europe and think the mongiel police forces of this country can be much more easily thrown oil" the scent. Tlcv saw that the police aud sheriff were of little avail in in", and they Ji?ve not forgotten that circumstance. STAVB AMD FRICK, two most prominent Socialists of thiscify. were seen relative to the story. Frick assumed a mysterious air when approachtd. and refustd to talk on the subject, said the society was weak in this city, but be expe ted to see it greatly strengthened in a few weeks.

Itcssa bad no following of any account in this country. Itoesa may have good reasons for bn bittar hat;ed of Eng land, but Irish leaders had no sympathy with his wild and impracticable schemes.

Father Cronin, editor of the Catholic I'nionand Timet, said he con- sidered that Kossa suffered intensely at the hands of England, and was to a cer- tain extent unaccountable for his acts and in words. The wrongs had atllicted his mind. He did not think Kossa responsible for the outrages in London or that the dynamiters were Irishmen ; they were, to his mind, the result of British tyranny.

The Executive Committee of the National Cotton Plant- ers' Association adjourned to meet New Orleans February 10th, on the oc- casion of the opening of the World's Cot- ton Convention. The work of the com. mitteewas mainly devoted to details of arrangements for the great convention, but much time to-d- was spent in secret session considering matters of great im- portance connected with the management the World's Exposition, but which can- not be made public until the meeting of the convention. President Morehead says that the week the Rational Cotton Planters' Aesociation met at the Atlanta Exposi- tion was the largest in attendance at that Exposition, lie further repeated a well-kuow- n fact, that that Exposition would have been an absolute failure as to at- tendance, which means failure a.) around, had tne railroad aeents not reduced the local fares. He says that the local rates of the roads running into New Orleans are at present killing two birds with one stone, namely theru-- s Ives and the Exposition. No matter how good the management of the Exposition, nor wuatthe attraction it oners, it will be stupendous failure as far as attendance concerned, recoiling in its evil enects on the property of the roads, the city of New Orleans and the entire South, unless the railroads at oi.ee bring down loeal fares very nearly to that of tnrough rates. If the railroads will take this wise step immediately President Morehead pre- dicts that the week of the World's Cotton Convention at New Orleans will be the banner week of the Exposition in attend- ance.

It is understood that the Miswnri Pacific officials take the groun that they are not obliged to pay tbe piin- cinal of the loan so long as ihey pay the interest, and that practically the loan peri etua!. A day or two will probably develop how matters are to be disposed of. Suppressing" tbe Pistol In Ueorarla. a.....: Ia.. February 1. It has de-- volnnrl thai"" the I- n- n"- -- by the Uut State Legislature is about to break np the carrying ci concealed weapons. For years a statute has been upon the law books for the suppression cf this habit and grand janes have worked to this end without avail. In preparing tbe tax bill in the last Legislature the following item was lipped in ; "Upon all dealers in pistols, toy pistolr, revolvers, pistol or revolver cartridges, dirks, or bowie-knive- s, the sum of $100 for each place of business in esch county where the same are sold, shall be levied." Since the 1st of January, traders in pay- ing their licenses have been confronted with this additional charge, and rather than pay it nine-tenth- s of them drop that feature of their business. The effect of the license is to limit the number of places where arms can be purchased to a very few populous points. Thus, those who have pistols cannot replenish their cartridges without sending in some in- stances seventy-fiv- e miles, as dealem in small towns would not soil over $100 worth of pitch goods in a year. The license practically amounts to prohibition. a sciioolgTiIl elopes With Her NchooliuaMcr, Ralph B. Hr- - c; reaves, aad Is Pursued ft Phila- delphia By II er Father and a Few Friends, bnt Eludes lliua aim Her Levsr, Camdkn, N. J., February 2. Ralph R. Hargreaves, a , schoolmaster in Milford township, Camden county, has eioped with Fanny Louise Sickles, the sixteen- - ear-ol- d daughter ot remoerton oicKies, one of the wealthiest farmers in tne county. Hargreaves, who formerly lived in Tansborough, has been teaching school in Milford since last September. He is a blonde,twenty-thre- e years old, and of me- dium height and build. Fannie Sickles was one of his pupils. She was one oi the acknowledged belles of the school. o one knew that they loved each otber until Wednesday, when Farmer Sickles discovered the tr th and threatened to send his daughter to an asylum. The in fatuated girl sent a note to iiargreaves Saturday, telling him that she was A PRISON IB IN HER FATHER BOUSB, and that she would rather run away than be so disgraced. Yesterday the girl went to church with her parents, but sifter din- ner she was missing. Farmer Sickles communicated to his old friend, Andrew Duulap, that be thought his daughter and the schoolmaster had run away. Mr. Dunlap accompanied Mr. Sickles to the schoolhouse. On the way they stopped at the house of a neighbor named Brown, and got him to go along. At Mr. Sickles's tiggestion .brown took an old navy rev olver, bicktes bad stepped out quickly after dinner, and had hurried way to the schoolhouse, mile distant. here she found Hargreaves and fonr of his friends awaiting her. While they were arranging their plans of elepement, the girl discovered her father and Brown and Dunlap coming np the road. She be- came very much frightened, and wanted to back out. but her lover reassured her. and when Farmer Sickles kicked at the schoo-hous- door he was answered by tho schuolmasle', who aeked what be wanted. I want my daughter," be said. "Well, on can't have htr," coolly replied Har-re- ;: es. Then the door was slammed and locked in Farmer Sickles's face. Mr. Sickies and his friends were DAZtR AT UABOUKAVES'S DETERMINATION. After consulting- - for a moment, it was agreed that Sickles and Dunlap should drive to Camden for a warrant for the ar rest of Hargreaves on a charge of abduc- tion. Isaiah Brown stood guard at ihe schoolhouse armed with the navy revol ver. A few minutes alter they started Hargreaves's brother and vounz Voor- - hees cave out of the pchoolhssse and hurriea down the road. They soon re turned with a spring waon drawn by two horses. Then tbe and the girl opened the door and old Isaiah Brown, alter deliberately cocking his revolver, raid: "If you try to take that cirl awav 11 blow yonr brains out." This san guinary declaration made the schoolmaster pause and Miss Sickles began crying. Hargreaves s friends seized and disarmed Brown, who became profane and started home to get a gun. The lovers and their four friends then got in the wagon and started for tbis city, seven miles distant. tne outskirts of the city thev met Farmer Sickles, Mr. Dunlap and Justice K erswell. on their way to the schoolhouse. The spring wagon dashed by and Justice Kerswelf got np in his buggy and shouted, l.alpn Hargreaves, 1 arrest you." THE ESCAPING PARTY LAUGHED. and the justice, greatly excited, pulled ont nis revolver and nred up in the air, hoping to frk'hten the runaways into surrender- - in". Young Hargreaves pulled out a horse-pist- ol and blared away at the pursuers. ffunlap stopped his borse and the run aways rattled into Camden. They hurried on board the ferryboat, crossed to Pbila- - elphia, and drove to the (jirard Honse. The angry father was in hot pursuit, and "oimed into tne Uirard alter them. Har greaves saw him, and, white the excited inner was explaining matters to the clerk. Hargreaves hurried into the parlor, and. telling Misi Sickles and his friends to fol- - ow, they quickly entered a carriage and rdered the driver to take them to the Broad Street station. The had fifteen minutes to catch the Boston express, which left at 6:30 o'clock p.m. They got to the depot in time. Farmer Sickles astened to Fourth and Chestnut streets and telegraphed to the chief of police in Jersey City to arrest the fugitives." Up to nudum nt lie had not received an answer to his telegram, but it is supposed that Hargreaves and Miss Sickles left the train at Trenton or Newark and were married.

THE WELLIJiUlOX MCTLY" Kvldenee that the Captain was Killed ay atiB crew in e. London. February 3. The inquest in the case of Capt. Armstrong, of the bark Wellington, who was killed by nis crew, was rasumed at Plymouth this afternoon. Surgical testimony was given to the effect that Armstrong s skull was tractured in three places, and the fractures were suffi- cient to cause death. The second mate testified that Armstrong abused the pilot, who took the ship out lrom Havre, and when the pilot was about to leave the Wellington and extended bis hand in parting to Armstrong tbe latter refused to take it, and said : " We will shake hands when dead." Other testimony was ad- duced, showing that just previous to the fatal quarrel between the captain and crew, he complained ot being ill, and swallowed forty drops of laudanum. After this he attacked tbe crew and snot wildly at them. They closed in to overpower and disarm him. He fought savagely, and the carpenter struck him upon the head with a belaying pin. He then assisted in putting him into manacles and removing him to the cabin. In tbe cabin Armstrong revived, and before death shouted for release. The crew during this tia-- e at- tempted to heal his wounds. FRANCE AD CHINA. The Keluna- - Works Carried by the French Alter a severs fcus;aa;euieut. Paris, February 3.

' ITALY AND TRIPOLI. A Cnrlons Piece of neeret Dlploa tatle History. London, February 1. A curious piece of diplomatic secret history has just come to light, it will be remembered that ltalv recently intimated her intention of send ing an expedition to annex Tripoli, which is a villayet of the Turkish empire. Tur key thereupon sent a message to Italy, ttiiting that any expedition sent to Tripoli would be eonfranted by a Turkish army of ju.uuu men. ihe unusual vior of this threat by Turkey led to the belief that she wa assured of r.ngland s support, and this belief was strengthened when it was announced that Italy, at the request of England, had definitely abandoned the DrobosedTriDoli exnedilinn. Tt now trans. pires that Italy's design on Tripoli was from the first incited by Austria, and that tbe letter's action was prompted by the old Austrian hatred for Italy, which is by no means extinct, although it is kept politely concealed. By seizing Tripoli Italy would have become forever es- tranged from Turkey, and would doubtless become embroiled with France in Tunis and with England in Egypt. The obvious design of Austria was to isolate Italy from European alliances and to reduce her importance as a political factor. It is said that biz. Mancini came verv near f" ing into the but was prevented from doing so by a timely warning from ling-lan- which was accompanied by a sug- gestion that there was plenty of fertile country in Eastern Egypt whiah was go ing to waste. It was further intimated that if Italy undertook tbe task of "tivU- - ' Kid Button, 11 to 13, : : $3 Kid Button, : : tl Kid Button, : $1 Kid Button, : : Button, 1 Button, : : : : : II School Shoos, : - : $1 Goat Shoes Spring : tl Kid, Hand Turns (heels), : : tl Kid Button Shoes with heels, of of the So will sold camp. three displayi trap, with : : $3 50, were G Misses' French : : $-- 40, were ") 50 Misses' Curracoa : : .$1 95, were 50 Misses' Curracoa : : $2 25, were $3 : : $2 00, were 13 50 Misses' Curracoa : : : $3, were $4 Misses' Goat : : : 3 50, were J Misses' Goat : : $3 75, were 5 50 : : $1 95, were $2 50 Misses' Tipped : : : $2 25, were $3 Child's Kid and : : $3 50, were $1 50 Kid and Goat, Child's Curracoa : : : ' tl, were tl Child's Curracoa ana wouia suggest; mat me earuesi iting" the natives ef that region England of would see tht the expenses were paid out of the EgvptiaD Treasury. Italy promptly took the hint, and the expedi- tion nf which had been intended for Tripoli was sent to Assab bay. The colonial am- bition of Italy is thus diverted from the Mediterranean to the Red sea, and there to is much rubbin? of noses between Italy as and England. Lord Granville, however, is enraged at the covert action of Austria, and the exposure of this intrigue has in creased the tension between the govern- ments of Austria and Great Britain. 1IUS. DUDLEY JX ENGLAND. Her Trial for Attempted Hnlclde The Jlice Court Kteord. London, February 3. The examination of the police reports of the Worship of Street Police Court reveals the following: Lucilla Dudley, a ladylike looking per son, aged about twenty-lou- r years, who described herself as a governess, charged wits attempting suicide. The porter ol the Great eastern railroad deposed that on the arrival of his train at Liverpool street, London, the prisoner, Mrs. Dudley, was in a first-cla- car- riage, apparently asleep, with .a hand- kerchief over her face. On remov- ing the handkerchief witness found her insensible, bbe was holding a bottle labeled poison. Mrs. Dudley was re- moved to the hospital. Witness stated that nobody else was in the railway of carriage. The surgeon who attended Mrs- - Dudley at tho hospital deposed that she was sutTering from the effects of chloro- form. Witness said she recovered con- - sciousness after eight hours. Mrs. Dud-- ley denied that she had taken anything of a poisonous nature. When taken into custody Mrs. Dudley was detected in the act of trying to swallow a white powder. A The jailor at tbe police station, where the woman was imprisoned, deposed that she expressed regrst at her failure to ac- complish her purpose. of An analyst deposed that the powder Mrs. Dudley attempted to swallow was opium. Another package ol opium was found sewed in her clotoes. Mrs. Dudley stated in court that she had no relatives living, and had been a governess. She also described herself as a hospital nurse, but her appearance seemed to contradict this statement. She refused to give any account of herself. Letters found in her possession furnished no clew to her identity. She said she was driven to attempt suicide by the loss of her child. A pair of child's shoes and gloves in her possession tended to corroborate the assertion. The magistrate said that in view of the fact that tbe chaplain at the House of Detention stated that the woman would not promise not to repeat the offense, he was unable to set her at liberty without two sureties ol 25 each for goed behavior for three months. Mis. Dudley smiled at this an- nouncement. She left the court-joo- quietly. THE C0X60. Bath Banks of tbe River Seised by For. IS(L Livxrpool, February 3. The Man- chester Chamber of Commerce has an- nounced the receipt of news confirming tbe report that Portugal has annexed both banks of the Congo river. A Clean btrskr. London, February 3. The Pall Mall GaztUe, commenting on the seisure of both banks o the Congo river by Tortugal, says it must be ad- mitted by this stroke, that the government at Lisbon has forestalled the decision of r.his of the powers. The powers, at the very moment Portugal is maaing the annexa- tion, are djscusaing Germanv's proposal, which has the support of England, to grant to the International A'rican Asso- ciation the southern bank of the river, which Portugal has appropriated.

A leader in this eveuiug'a Pall Mall Gasttte, advocating a political alliance Letweeu Great Britain and the United States, attracts attention. The American repubUc, the Gazette says, is now at last beginning to have a foreign policy. The doctrine of complete isola- tion, so long maintained by American statesmen, has perUhed. Minister: Kas-son- 's presence and activity in the Berlin Conference on the Congo question, must be taken as a portent of tilings to cone. America will continue to exert a great and increasing influence on the work of pacifying Africa. The republic will ere long claim admittance into the European areopagus whenever dealing with ques- tions pertaining to interests outside of the boundaries of the European continent.

In the House of Commons, Shakespeare British Columbia asked the government if it would introduce a bill during the present session restricting tbe immigration of Chi- nese to tbe Dominion.

Until the report was received the government would not say what they would do in the matter. Hllr Amsif Atnoas; American Corpora- tions in Canada. Montreal. February 3. It is thought here among business men and others that the govi-rnme- should compel foreign companies to put their assets in Canadian securities. United States companies have liabilities in Canada amounting to over $7,000,000, while their assets sre but 1,708,000, and of the assets only $S8,000 is in Canadian securities, the balance be- ing mostly in United States government bonds. The subject, which has been al- luded to in the Governor-Gener- sspeech, is making much ttir among foreign insur- ance companies. 1EI. AVERY At the reiine of C. L.

Since the 1st of January, traders in pay-ing their licenses have been confrontedwith this additional charge, and ratherthan pay it nine-tenth- s of them drop thatfeature of their business. The effect ofthe license is to limit the number ofplaces where arms can be purchased to avery few populous points. Thus, thosewho have pistols cannot replenish theircartridges without sending in some in-

stances seventy-fiv- e miles, as dealem insmall towns would not soil over $100worth of pitch goods in a year. The licensepractically amounts to prohibition.

and that she would rather run away thanbe so disgraced. Yesterday the girl wentto church with her parents, but sifter din-ner she was missing. Farmer Sicklescommunicated to his old friend, AndrewDuulap, that be thought his daughter andthe schoolmaster had run away. Mr.Dunlap accompanied Mr. Sickles to theschoolhouse. On the way they stoppedat the house of a neighbor named Brown,and got him to go along. At Mr. Sickles'stiggestion .brown took an old navy revolver, bicktes bad stepped out

quickly after dinner, and had hurriedway to the schoolhouse, mile distant.here she found Hargreaves and fonr of

his friends awaiting her. While theywere arranging their plans of elepement,the girl discovered her father and Brownand Dunlap coming np the road. She be-came very much frightened, and wantedto back out. but her lover reassured her.and when Farmer Sickles kicked at theschoo-hous- door he was answered by thoschuolmasle', who aeked what be wanted.I want my daughter," be said. "Well,on can't have htr," coolly replied Har-re- ;:

es. Then the door was slammed andlocked in Farmer Sickles's face. Mr.Sickies and his friends wereDAZtR AT UABOUKAVES'S DETERMINATION.

After consulting- - for a moment, it wasagreed that Sickles and Dunlap shoulddrive to Camden for a warrant for the arrest of Hargreaves on a charge of abduc-tion. Isaiah Brown stood guard at iheschoolhouse armed with the navy revolver. A few minutes alter they startedHargreaves's brother and vounz Voor- -hees cave out of the pchoolhssse andhurriea down the road. They soon returned with a spring waon drawn by twohorses. Then tbe and thegirl opened the door and old Isaiah Brown,alter deliberately cocking his revolver,raid: "If you try to take that cirl awav

11 blow yonr brains out." This sanguinary declaration made the schoolmasterpause and Miss Sickles began crying.Hargreaves s friends seized and disarmedBrown, who became profane and startedhome to get a gun. The lovers and theirfour friends then got in the wagon andstarted for tbis city, seven miles distant.

and the justice, greatly excited, pulled ontnis revolver and nred up in the air, hopingto frk'hten the runaways into surrender- -in". Young Hargreaves pulled out a horse-pist- ol

and blared away at the pursuers.ffunlap stopped his borse and the runaways rattled into Camden. They hurriedon board the ferryboat, crossed to Pbila- -

elphia, and drove to the (jirard Honse.The angry father was in hot pursuit, and"oimed into tne Uirard alter them. Har

greaves saw him, and, white the excitedinner was explaining matters to the clerk.

Hargreaves hurried into the parlor, and.telling Misi Sickles and his friends to fol- -ow, they quickly entered a carriage andrdered the driver to take them to the

Broad Street station. The had fifteenminutes to catch the Boston express,which left at 6:30 o'clock p.m. They gotto the depot in time. Farmer Sickles

astened to Fourth and Chestnut streetsand telegraphed to the chief of police inJersey City to arrest the fugitives." Up tonudum nt lie had not received an answerto his telegram, but it is supposed thatHargreaves and Miss Sickles left the trainat Trenton or Newark and were married.

London. February 3. The inquest inthe case of Capt. Armstrong, of the barkWellington, who was killed by nis crew,was rasumed at Plymouth this afternoon.Surgical testimony was given to the effectthat Armstrong s skull was tractured inthree places, and the fractures were suffi-cient to cause death.

ITALY AND TRIPOLI.A Cnrlons Piece of neeret Dlploa tatleHistory.

London, February 1. A curious pieceof diplomatic secret history has just cometo light, it will be remembered that ltalvrecently intimated her intention of sending an expedition to annex Tripoli, whichis a villayet of the Turkish empire. Turkey thereupon sent a message to Italy,ttiiting that any expedition sent to Tripoliwould be eonfranted by a Turkish army ofju.uuu men. ihe unusual vior of thisthreat by Turkey led to the belief that shewa assured of r.ngland s support, andthis belief was strengthened when it wasannounced that Italy, at the request ofEngland, had definitely abandoned theDrobosedTriDoli exnedilinn. Tt now trans.pires that Italy's design on Tripoli wasfrom the first incited by Austria, and thattbe letter's action was prompted by theold Austrian hatred for Italy, which is byno means extinct, although it is keptpolitely concealed. By seizing TripoliItaly would have become forever es-tranged from Turkey, and would doubtlessbecome embroiled with France in Tunisand with England in Egypt. The obviousdesign of Austria was to isolate Italyfrom European alliances and to reduceher importance as a political factor. It issaid that biz. Mancini came verv near f"ing into the but was prevented fromdoing so by a timely warning from ling-lan-

which was accompanied by a sug-gestion that there was plenty of fertilecountry in Eastern Egypt whiah was going to waste. It was further intimatedthat if Italy undertook tbe task of "tivU- -

iting" the natives ef that region England ofwould see tht the expenses were paidout of the EgvptiaD Treasury. Italypromptly took the hint, and the expedi-tion

nfwhich had been intended for Tripoli

was sent to Assab bay. The colonial am-bition of Italy is thus diverted from theMediterranean to the Red sea, and there tois much rubbin? of noses between Italy asand England. Lord Granville, however,is enraged at the covert action of Austria,and the exposure of this intrigue has increased the tension between the govern-ments of Austria and Great Britain.

1IUS. DUDLEY JX ENGLAND.

Her Trial for Attempted Hnlclde TheJlice Court Kteord.London, February 3. The examination

of the police reports of the Worship ofStreet Police Court reveals the following:Lucilla Dudley, a ladylike looking per

son, aged about twenty-lou- r years, whodescribed herself as a governess, chargedwits attempting suicide.

The porter ol the Great eastern railroaddeposed that on the arrival of his train atLiverpool street, London, the prisoner,Mrs. Dudley, was in a first-cla- car-riage, apparently asleep, with .a hand-kerchief over her face. On remov-ing the handkerchief witness foundher insensible, bbe was holding a bottlelabeled poison. Mrs. Dudley was re-moved to the hospital. Witness statedthat nobody else was in the railway ofcarriage. The surgeon who attended Mrs--Dudley at tho hospital deposed that shewas sutTering from the effects of chloro-form. Witness said she recovered con- -sciousness after eight hours. Mrs. Dud--ley denied that she had taken anything ofa poisonous nature. When taken intocustody Mrs. Dudley was detected in theact of trying to swallow a white powder. AThe jailor at tbe police station, wherethe woman was imprisoned, deposed thatshe expressed regrst at her failure to ac-complish her purpose. of

An analyst deposed that the powderMrs. Dudley attempted to swallow wasopium.

Another package ol opium was foundsewed in her clotoes.

Mrs. Dudley stated in court that shehad no relatives living, and had been agoverness. She also described herself as ahospital nurse, but her appearance seemedto contradict this statement. She refusedto give any account of herself. Lettersfound in her possession furnished no clewto her identity. She said she was drivento attempt suicide by the loss of her child.A pair of child's shoes and gloves inher possession tended to corroborate theassertion. The magistrate said that inview of the fact that tbe chaplain atthe House of Detention stated that thewoman would not promise not to repeatthe offense, he was unable to set her atliberty without two sureties ol 25each for goed behavior for threemonths. Mis. Dudley smiled at this an-nouncement. She left the court-joo-

quietly.
