i i r ft 6r tflCl:L GOSSIP, The Pittsburg National and Players' league Teams as They Stand at Present. MB. O'HEIL'S MEN BRACING UP. List of Flayers That Hare Been Tried and ' 'lonnd to be Too-Blow for the Major Organization. GAME AT EXPOSITION PARK TO-DAI. Stain's Kei WHl Do Their Best UJaj Out Their rhllxdelphU Brethren. The terrible monotony of the failure of the local national team to win a came was broken last week, but they have again re lapsed into their old state, and a once in awhile winning only serves to cause a few exclamations of surprise or break a few combinations on baseball. Neither Pitts burg team is at present considered a good winning card among the betting fraternity and it would require a pretty long end of the string to induce anyone tc take the risks of either team's winning. The National League team has been greatly strengthened, and is now in much better shape than when they left this city for their Eastern trip a couple of weeks ago. There was plenty el room for improvement, so that even a slight change is noticeable. At present the scores are becoming closer together, and the largo number of runs usually made bv their oppo nents Is greatly decreasing. Becker pitched a first-class game last week and was well sup ported. The result was a rictory. THE XXPEBIMENT3. It might be interesting to many to read the list of the players of the Pittsburg National League team and the many experiments they hare had on their hands. The team at present is composed of Hecker, manager and pitcher; Baker, Qumbert, Coleman, pitcher; Wilson, Berger, Decker, catchers; Veacb. first base; La Koque. second base: Soles, shortstop; Boat, third base; Osborne, left field; Sunday, center field; Miller, right field. The following men have been on the team and played at least one full came: Brandenburg, Zlegler, catchers; Gray, 8chmlt Bowman, Dan iels, Ziegler, Sowdere, Jones, Heard, Bennett, Coleman, pitchers; Mnlhearn. Bines, first base; Crane, Dunlap, Gilbert, Youngman, second base; Gilbert, short stop: Kelty. Hemp. Bqut cltff e. fielders. Besides the above, quite a num ber hare played a part of a same or hare been on the field and inspected by the management, buaconsidered too slow. This shows that the management have been oa the more for good players, but the fact is that they started too late. AU this work should hare been done at least within a few weeks af ter the season opened, but now the season is half over and still the team is not winning, though it is being improved, AT EXPOSITION PABK TO-SAT. To-day at Exposition Park Hanlon and his men will meet the PhUadelphlas. That team has been doing well of late and is making a grand hustle for the pennant flag. It now re mains for the local men to give them a set back in their career. The last time these teams met It resulted in a Tictory for the Pitts burgs, two games la three. That was the last winning of the local team, it is true, but they will now be on their own territory and will of course be able to make a better fight. Their game has been rather of the listless kind since they left the city, but the probabilities are that cow as upon their return from the previous trip they will brace up and show their mettle. Our old friend, Jim Galvin will probably be in the box for Pittsburg and he ought to bo able to pull them out of a pretty deep hole. THE MANAGER TALKS. Manager Hanlon and his team arrived home last evening, and though they were not in the best of spirits over the result of their trip, they will go at the Phillies to-morrow with renewed rigor. Hanlon says: "We had the hardest kind of a game to go against in the East. Those teams are putting up wonderful ball, the like of which was never before seen. No one could have beaten tho Bostons the series we slaved them. We couldn't have done it if we had had two teams. Bnt since we are at home we expect to brace np and do better. Our pitchers are in excellent shape, and the boys are now feeling like winners." Katlonnl League Gomes Saturday.

And that i exactly where the Brotherhood Is now." said Mutrle, ""out of the necessary financial ammunition to carry the thing out. It is all very well to keep up tho cry about making money, but it won't go down with me. 1 know how some of my old players feel about their new League. Tbey told me some things that would not be very pleasant for their em plovers to hear, t don't care about giving any nanWiusl now, bnt the time will come when I will n more explicit. The national League was never moro confideni than now of the ultimate outcome of this fight. The people of the me tropolis are tho most loyal and patriotic of any in tho country. If there was only one club here ill tbe "rooters" would know what to do. Bnt now It Is a question with the baseball public as to which club they should support. A strango thine to me f that but one gentleman of any financial standing attended tho Brotherhood meeUnT in Philadelphia. I think U is very funny that men like Hanlon, Irwin. Ward and others should Tote 12,600 t help out their weary brethren. I wonder If Buffafo was asked to contribute. Why did they not tap thetto.000 reserve fund that is is some safety deposit company vault around. WalUtreet, pr has Bru nell been economizing the tru'th,'agalar "I think the report of what was done at the Philadelphia meeting was simply to keep np the spirits of the poor players a little while longer. I say that It is utterly impossible for the Players' League to pay the salaries even from the revenues taken at tbe gate thuS far this season. The outcome of this whole thing will be that tbe players will have to suffer. Mark this prediction. Players who are now getting salaries of 13.000 and 84,000 will be glad to play for from 8LO00 up. The players, how ever, have nobody to blame but themselves for this state of things." A Winnies; Team. Tirnif, O., July 2a The game to-day was by all odds tbe greatest of the season.

THREE STATES rSFECIAT. HtXOUX TO TITS DISPATCn.1 Scott Haten, July, 20. On Friday evening last two women and three children were caught by a train of cars on a coal railroad trestle near Guffey's station, 24 miles from Pittsburg, on the B. & O. Kail road, and their escape from instant death was miraculous, although the injuries of two of the parties may result in death, fia. the evening mentioned, Mrs. Bessie Asch znann, with her two little children, Joseph and Eva, and Mrs. Jane Lewis, with a baby in her arms, concluded to go toward Shaner by a near out, which was to walk on Jhe trestle of the Blythe Coal Bailroad. Instead of making a long detour around the hill. When they were almost half way across they heard tbe rumble of cars, andloo King back saw approach ing five loaded ooal cars coming down of their own momentum. They were terrified; and tbe man in charge of the cars made a frantic effort to stop the train,' bnt he saw it waa futile. Be called out to the women to jump off to the groan d, a distance of 40 feet below. Mrs.-Lewis, with rare presence of mind, let herself down the trestle on tbe timbers under tbe rails. She could use only one hand, while with the other she clasped her baby close to her bosom. 'When' the cars bad passed she helped herself np again and success fully got off the trestle, perf orming a feat that has hardly ever been done by a man when he had nothing In bis bands to impede him. She was so overcome, however, that she fainted when she and her precious babe were safe. Mrs. Aschmami stood on the outer edge of the crosstles on the trestle, holding a child, one 3 and tbe otber 5 years old. In each hand, over the edee of the trestle. The cars struck: her and knocked her and the two children into the gully below. They were picked up insensible, and it was found that she bad broken her arm, andbeine In delicate health it is feared the shock will kill her. The little girl was badly injured Internally and her life is despaired of while tbe boy, Josey, got off with a broken wrist. 0HE AEEEST MADE. Engineer Vnna'evender'a Assailant Said to Have Been Bis Fireman. 1 rSPXCIAt. TXLXORAX TO TBB SISrATCB.1 Van Wbbt. July 20. The shocking murder of Engineer Vandevender, of tbe Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw, while on his engine, and the probable fatal wounding of his fire man,. Sam Boadhouse, resulted to-day in the arrest of the latter charged with tbe crime. He asserts his innocence, and sticks to his first statement that -they were assaulted by an unknowa man, after they left the first station south of this place. Being injured himself, the theory is tbey engaged in a fight, the result of a several days' quarrel, and that Van devender struck him first, knocking him down, and inflicting the wounds on tho back of Boadbocse's head by bis falling on the coal in tbe tender. Tbe supposition goes farther that Boadhouse awaited his opportunity.-and then beat Vandevender on tbe head with a hammer, which was found in the cab covered with blood. A man, however, answerins the description of Blair Mock, who was-sent to the peniten tiary on VandevenderVtestimony, and who swore that he wonld kill him when be was released, was seen at Enterprise shortly before the arrival of the train, and asked if Vande vender would be on tbe train. He then disap peared, and has not been seen since. Detectives are searching for Mock, but in the meantime Boadhouse will be held. POETEE'S MEN SID BEST.

When the Federal census enumerators returned the population of this city at 37,500, there was a belief in many quarters that the figures were too low by 1,500, and it was thought the school census, ordered annually by the Board of Education, would bear out the popular estimate of S9,000. The school enumerators have reported, and tbey make the population but 86,200, or 1,300 less than the return of the Federal enumerators.

" 'DISPATCH, ! ry,SUCK JVIB, ST0RGr$rrf HE SUCCESSFULLY WORKS MILLIONAIRE FARWELL, OF CHICAQO, By Several Wild Cat Schemes 13La Proves Himself a Prince of Swindlers and Carries Mntters High Handedly The Defendant! File Answer. Chicago, July 20. J. V. Farwell, Sen ator Charles B. Farwell, Congressmnn Ab ner Taylor and Lawyer George F. West over have, filed an answer to William Stur rrpV bill, on which h'e obtained an iniunc- ) tion recently restraining a sale of 6,136 shares of the Capital Freehold Land and Invest ment Company and 740 of the Sonora Land Company. Sturges claimed that this property was given by him as collat eral security for a note for 140,000 made to him by John V. Farwell, in part payment for raising between $4,000,000 and 55,000, 000 of British capital to aid the Farwell syndicate in building the Texas State Capi tol. The defendants deny that the note was ever given as part payment for any services, bnt that it was a simple loan from John V Farwell. Mr. Farwell confirms a pretty generally credited report that Sturges got into him in several schemes for large amounts. He savs that prior to 1884 Sturges had "w9rked" him for about $100,000, the mer chant losing that respectable sum through the "act, advice and persuasion" of Sturges. In that year Sturgea went" to Lon don on private - business, and offered while there to get subscriptions for the Texas plan then being put on foot He reported on his return that he had got subscriptions for large amounts. This state ment Farwell found to be false on a' visit to London in 1885. He had been misled by Stnrges. He organized the Capital Free hold Land and Investment Compaby and contracted with Kensington & Co., of Lon don, to negotiate and sell its debentures at their own expense, theyto receive stock in the Capital Company equal .to CO per cent sf the bonds they should sell. Farwell savs the Kensington Company raised only $140,000 of subscription and then . repudiated the rebate contract. Farwell had.' to buy the rebate contract of the company. for 15,000 sterling in .debentures of the company at 6 per cent., and it was trans ferred to the name of Sturges. On the re turn to America Farwell demanded the con tract, bnt Sturges refused to surrender 'it, claiming it as his own. To avoid trouble Farwell entered into a contract of arbitration, which Senator Far well and Congressman Taylor refused to ratify, and Stnrges then went to certain offi cers of the Capital .Company 'of London and threatened suits. Fearing embarrass ment and destruction of the company's credit, Farwell says, he got his partners to agree to another arbitration contract, whereat Stnrges became overbearing and insolent, intermeddled with defendants' af fairs and procured tbe dismissal of a man ager of the company, for all of which Sturges olaims himself entitled to compen sation, pretending he was all the time in tbe defendants' service. In June, 1889, after all thin, John V. Far well indorsed $40,000 worth of paper for Sturges and C. W. Bogers to buy stock of tbe Sonora Land Company. WABD IFAIXISTEB m CHABGE. He Will Superintend Arrngements for Young; Wales' Reception. Kewpoet, E. L, July 20. Though Prince George ot Wales may not arrive for a month society people are all in a flutter. Ward McAllister, who has charge of the arrangement:, is being applied to from all sources for tiokets to the grand cotillon. From present indica tions he will be at his wits' ends to keep the number down to his original limit 250. It is understood that the subscription is $100 and that each of the subscribers will be al lowed nine extra tickets. Mr. McAllister has promised to eclipse all his previous triumphs on this 'occasion. Pinard- has been given carte blanche and the decorations are to be especially elab orate. Orders have been sent to New York by several cottages for decora tions, and Newport will be in holiday at tire when the Prince arrives: Louis Lor rillard, whose estate, Vineland, is one of the most beautiful In Newport, will. protK ably give a luncheon in honor of the Prince. His entertainment must necessarily be of a quiet character, as he is still in mourning. The Prince will call on George Bancroit, but tbe venerable historian will- not be asked to entertain him on account of his great age. Cornelius Vanderbilt will give a dinner at the Breakers to the Prince, and if arrangements can be nfade there will be a' dance later. Mrs. Parran Stevens will give a dinber in honor of the Prince whose father witnessed the marriage of her daughter Minnie to Captain Arthur Padget There are three other dinners to be given, but the names of the hosts cannot be made public at .present There is to be a ball at the 'Casino, though just under what auspices it will take place has not been definitely settled. It is more than likely now that it will be a subscription ball, as if the governors of the Casino were to give it they say they wonld not. know where to stop in the matter of invitations. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Minister, will arrive in a few days. PAENELL AND SALISBTO7. A Triumph for. the Irish Party That may Help to Smooth Matters. London, July 20.

Eyery .de partment of the Irish administra tion is closely examined. Lord Salisburv has agreed to distribute $400,000, which ft was originally intended should apply, to pur chases in the defunct publican bill, to pub lic purposes in Ireland which shall be named by the Irish party. Half of this sum will be given toward the erection of laborers' cottages, half to assist In middle class education. It is expected that before the session ends Balfour will state whether he intends to accept Parnell's proposal to constitute by statute a Board of Arbitrators to settle disputes between landlord and ten ants on a dozen estates in Ireland, where the plan of campaign is in operation. . Tories and landlords have the idea that the funds for the support of the evicted tenants held by Parnell are nearly'ex hausted. They are influencing Ballodr 1o refuse Parnell's offer in the hope that he tenants mar be starved out This hope Is the mainstay of the Tories at present They believe that if the struggle can' be kept going for a year or two more the Irish party will have no funds to fight at tbe general election. As Parliament will reassemble in November, Balfour does not dare to increase tbe pressure ol coercion dur ing the autumn. The attacks in Parliament during the last fortnight have cansed a re laxation ot its most irritating features, even in Tipperary.

A Smithsonian Professor Makes Some Startling Kevelations of . SO-CALLED MAHAT11IC . MYSTERIES Washington, July 20. A newspaper man who has been here for some time look ing up the record of Madame Blavatsky and the so-called Theosophfsts, has written, as the result of his researches, an account that will probably create a commotion among the believers iu the mystio Mahatma. For the information he desired he called uporfProfessor Elliott Cones, of the Smith sonian Institution. After telling what he knew of Madame Blavatsky's partner and how the.two became acquainted, he went on to speak of the madame herself, and said: "Little is known accurately of her early life. It appears that she was Mile. Hahn, born at Ekaterinslow, Bussia, in 1831. She is consequently now about 9 or 60 years old. WANTS TO APPEAB OLD. "One of the curiosities about her is that she has always tried to pass for older than she really is, if not of fabulous antiquity. I must leave it. to the ladies to divine the motive of this freak. Six years ago she gravely informed me that Bhe was then 87 years old. I did not tell her she looked it, but 'accepted the statement with equal gravity. "Here is a private letter, signed by Madame Coulomb, written in 1885 to Colonel John C. Bandy, of Chicago, but suppressed at the time. Notice this fine feminine stroke: 'Madame Blavatsky is not Madame Blavatsky. She is Madame Met rovitcb, I have known her husband in Egypt I have kept this always to myself, but now that she has tried to injure me in any way she could, I am not bound to be secret any more.' Afterward Blavatsky is said by Sinnett to have returned home to Odessa late in 1872. But in point of fact she was -expelled from Eeypl by the police or other Government authority. Here is a letter stating that Hon. Eugene Schuyler, onr Consul General at Cairo, could probably procure a copy of the official record of her expulsion if he were authorized to do so by the State Depart ment, This affair foreshadows her hasty re treat from probable arrest at Madras, India, in 1885, when she was 'wanted''by the police after the Coulomb exposure. a bussian sir. ' "Early in 1873 she Went to Paris, where she remained about two months. Seeking fresh fields and pastures green, tbe tireless adventuress landed at New York on July 7, 1873. Her Teal business at that time was in 'the secret service of her Government as a Bussian spy, and she was instructed, as usual, to play any part that wonld divert attention from the facts in the case. Bhe was in favor then; and later, as we shall see, was transferred to. India for the same political rjnrposes. "The Punch and Judy show she set up in Jndia is thus easily explained. It amused the people and concealed her real designs. Had she succeeded in political intrigue it would have been all right. But she failed, was exposed, disgraced, had her pay stopped and was as usual incontinently dropped by her Government. One corroboration of this is that to this day she flies into her worst rages whenever the 'Bussian spy' matter comes up, and 'repudiates the vile insinu ation, with fury. That is just where the shoe pinches herjpet corn, not that she shonld be accused of being a Bussian spy, bnt that she was a Bussian spy, made a mess of it, and was promptly ignored. But I am an ticipating. Whatever the nature of the Instructions from Bussia under which she landed at New York in July, 1873, she was ostensibly exploiting spiritualism, then, as bejore and since. But we first hear of anything to your present purpose alter she had met Olcott in Vermont in the fall of 1874, and, been writ ten up by him. Early"in 1875, I think in in January or February of that year, she married Betanelly. This man was a fore igner, I think from Tifiis, in business in Philadelphia I have seen letters bearing oa this marriage, including some of his to her, and have talked with persons cognizant oAher brief and stormy married life, among them the Philadelphia lawyer who acted in the speedy divorce suit BITAXINO DISS DEBAB. "This affair was short, sharp and disas astrous tcrpoor Betanelly, who in his infat uation had scratched the proverbial Bussian and caught the very cream of Tartar. I think it lasted two or three months, when her brutal treatment sent him to court for relief. The legal aspects of the case are of course on public record in Philadelphia, and can be verified by anyone who thinks it worth while to take the trouble. This mat rimonial episode is a carious case of a wom an's perversity; for why should a Blavat sky become suddenly so ceremonious? She slipped the hymeneal halter very early in life, and never before or since this Betanelly business submitted to be bridled in affairs of the heart. "At this time, as we have seen, Mrs. Bla-. vatsky-Metrovich-Betanelly had not been metempsychosed into a theosophist. She was simply exploiting as a spiritualistic medium, setting a style and fashion later developed into a fine art In New York by Delia Ann O'Sullivan, better known as the Diss Debar woman. In fact, 'Princess' Debar and 'Countess'Ulavatsky are as like as two peas in person, pursuits and pro clivities, though one went to jail for lack of wits, which have kept the other out of the clutches of tbe law, excepting the Betanelly episode. Blavatsky rivals Diss Debar in producing 'spirit pictures,' from her real skill with pen and pencil. "The Theosopbioal Society' was founded in New York November 17, 1875. Many New Yorkers will remember the cock-and-bull stories set afloat about that time of the appearance of a mysterious Hindu adept in his astral body in the solemn stillness ot the night time to give his awed and hushed au dience behind the locked doors in the 'lama sery' on Forty-seventh street instructions from the spheres supernal for the formation of a theosophical society, to carry out the mighty Mabatmio movement of turning the world npside down. Olcott's function in THE MAHATMIC PEOOBAMME was comparatively simple. He was to have a vision, likejunto those of prophets still more out of date; in this dream he was to see the astral body of Mahatma- Koot Hoomi, con veying conviction and instructions viva voce, and vanishing to leave behind him soniethinc tangible to prove it was not all a dream. This material textile souvenir of the nocturnal mission was a turban which Prophet Koot Hoomi left on St. Harry's bed. For all I know Olcott may be carry ing it about still. He certainly kept it in bis coat-tail pocket in England and Ger many In 1884; and whenever I heard him tell tbe yarn, as he could do with incomparable gravity, out flicked the turban at the critical point of the narrative. What -could be said in face of such evidence? A valuable prop erty I doubt not it has been worth hun dre'dsjof disciples and thousands of dollars to the ingenious gentleman. Judge's part in this play, like that of other' supernu meraries, was harder work, less pay, and no glory. To describe it I will quote from Mr. Hudson Tattle, of Oberlin Heights, Ohio, who attended a meeting of the New York Anthropological Society, March, 1889, be fore which ex-Methodist Exhorter Judge occupied the stage and proceeded to tell the audience about this mythical Hindn. "'The parent society,' said Mr. Judge, 'was founded in America by Madam Bla vatsky, who gathered about her a few inter ested people and began the great work. They .held a meeting to frame a constitution 1890. . rrJHiTfaTinlo7oTretu mirBefore anything had been 'accomplished 4 strangely' 'foreign Hindu, dressed in tbe peculiar garb of his country, came before them, and, leaving a package, vanished, and no one knew whither be came or went. A -WONDEKPTJTi TALE. "On opening the package they found the necestary forms of organization, rules, etc, which were adopted. Ttm inference to be drawn was, that the strange visitor was a Mahatma', interested in the foundation of the society. This wonderful story of celestial messengers bringing documents to mortals is not quite fresh. In the pointed language of the street, it is a chestnut so old that it is quite moldy, and it has been for thousands of years one of the cheapest ex pedients of rascality to lead confiding cred ulity. "Let us see about these objects of tbe Theological Society. Here is the last num ber of Lucifer, with the "Objects' printed on the inside of the cover. " 'First To form a nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Hnmanity without distinc tion of race, creed, sex, or color.' That has been the dream of every crazy enthusiast since the world began. Only in this case it was adopted as a blind for knaves to make money. It has been for years a stale joke among theosophists themselves that tho TJniversal Brotherhood' is a universal row. Aside from its ob viously dishonest features, it hasbeen found to be a botbed of base and evil passions, strife and dissension, jealousy, selfish am bition, to say nothing of darker and deeper depths ol vice, less against tbe laws of so ciety than of nature. You can readily un derstand, without further explanation, to what the practice of animal magnetism may lead, under the thin guise of initiation into phallic mysteries. "Tbe second ostensible object is: '2. To promote the study of Aryan and other Eastern literatures, religions and sciences.' How much study of Aryan literature is pro moled may. be judged by the fact that there is not a member of the Theosophical Society in America who can say the Sanscrit alpha bet, let alone translate a word in any Ori ental language, and few, I fancy, who use the Hindu of the word 'Aum' on their letter heads know that it is a word. They think it is A MYSTIC MONOGEAM of the Mahatmas. There is a body of Ori entalists in this country who know all that is known of Eastern literature, religion and science, bnt I never heard of one of them as a member of tbe Theosophical Society. Blavatsky herself could not read a page of any; Oriental language to save her life. 3. A third object, pursued by a portion of the members of the society, is to 'investi gate unexplained laws of nature and the psychical powers of man.' This, like the first object, is not glaringly original, con sidering that since the first man in the pre historio paleolitbio period learned to ehip flint instruments and build a fire and cook his dinner. This third object of investigating the physical and psychical laws of the uni verse has been pursued by a portion at least of the members of the human race as well as those of tbe Theosophical Society." The Professor goes on to show up various frauds in which Madame Blavatsky was conspicuous; claims that her first book, "It is Unveiled," was not written by her, bnt by an eccentric New Yorker, and says that the real strength of her followers is misrep resented by those who meet and hold con ventions. He continnes: THEOSOPHISTS PEW. "The actual operators can be counted on fingers, without toes. To judge from the 'annual reports' you might imagine a census enumerator required to keep tally of the Blavatskyites. In point of fact, however, the United States has a Blavatsky's 400, as New York has a Macallister's like total. I doubt that the people who have ever taken the Blavatsky oath of obedience and paid Judge the dollar for the privilege, are quite so many as these. Bnt say 400. Of these, 300 have simply passed in and out. Of the remaining 100, probably 75 are the more or less quiescent or indifferent dupes of the dozen or two who stay in tbe swim for what they can make of the remains of the original Koot Hoomi hoax." "The last annual report states that there are now thirty-six branches of the society in the United States. Thirty-sixintofour hun dred goes eleven times and four over, enough for an 'extra branch.' I have known" 'branches' to consist of fewer than four. I have known at least two branches which consisted of nobody the names of the branches on Mr. Judge's books be ing all there was of them. All that is necessary to found a branch is for anybody to send Mr. Jndge $5 for a charter like this," and here Dr. Cones unfolded an impressive-looking document, stamped with a gold seal and signed by BI&vatsKy and Olcott, "and then give him $1 more for a diploma like this," producing a linen backed document of more modest dimen sions. "Thereupon he becomes a universal brother, and CAX FBATERNIZE TTNITEBSALLT as long as he pleases to send any money to Mr. Judge in New York, to Blavatsky in London, or to Olcott in Madras and the latter would immensely prefer direct trans missal of funds, as he has found it expen sive to colled remittances via New York and London. Sometimes, however, the formation of new branches is attended with more ceremony. Take, for example, the 'Blavatsky Lodge'in Washington. There was here a pauper ex-Spiritualist, named An thony Higgins, who went through the Wood hull" and Claflin scandals of years ago. Having hired a hall, Mr. Higgins, in the company of Mr. W. Q. Judge and Mr. Archibald Keighter, expounded Universal Brotherhood to at least 50 Washington cranxs by abusing my humble self for sev eral hours. "Thereafter arose the 'Blavatsky Lodge,' consisting of Mr. Higgins, a woman, and his son in the teens, with several ladies and gentlemen of color; and tbe next number of Blavatsky's London organ conveyed felicita tions to 'our noble and worthy Brother Hig gins.' It is scarcely necessary to add that nothing further has been heard of or from this lodge, except in the vast wilderness of ,Mr. Judge's annual report." STEARNS WAHT8 $20,000. A Brockton Man Who Was Nearly Burned Alive at Ibe Great Fire. Beockton, July 20. The town authori ties here are in an amusing quandary over a remarkable suit that has been brought against them by Henry Stearns, who claims $20,000 damages. Stearns was arrested last Wednesday afternoon for being intoxicated, and was locked up' in the town jail. That afternoon the big fire broke out, which rapidly spread toward the prison. In the excitement the prisoner was overlooked and left to himself. He came near being roasted alive. The roof tvas blazing and the falling sparks set fire to his cell, but no one came to his aid, al though the frenzie'd man beat the bars and shrieked frantically for help. His clothing was taking fire, when with a leap of desperation he broke down the iron door and fled through flames and smoke to the outer air. He claims the dam ages -for his injuries, which he says are temporary burns and permanent injury to his nervous system through the great fright be was in. He has a good case.
