The Wisconsin decision yesterday, while not final, holds that the Supreme Court has jurisdiction and that the demurrer on which the Dem ocratic cause was based Is unfounded. It is a legitimate inference from this rul ing that if the "Wisconsin apportionment is proved to bo unfair the court will va cate it In the series of decisions by which the courts have asserted their right to ratify the dishonesty of what is known as gerry mandering, there is an excellent illustra tion of partisan greed overreaching itself. The Democrats when they gained the Leg islature in various States found appor tionments which they were justly entitled to correct. But in correcting the unfair ness of Hepublican apportionments they went so far beyond the vicious In struction of their opponents that they called down the interference of the courts. If they had made reasonably fair appor tionments they could have preserved them. But as they adopted the game of grabbing everything they could without regard to fairness they have provoked the decisions which restore the old districts and leave the partisan redistrictors much worse off than if they had taken the honest course. Besides this illustration of natural, justice, there is ground for satisfaction in the establishment of a judicial check on gerrymandering. The Dispatch has often shown that this is vice which is nearly as bad in one party as in another. It is the outgrowth of the partisanship on both sides which puts party Interest above public duty. With the knowledge that if their work is not of a character to stand judicial scrutiny, the future redistrictors will be obliged either to keep their work within the bounds of fairness or to be sure that they have got the judges before they enact their gerrymanders. A QUARANTINE OBJECT LESSON. The last state of things at the New York quarantine is a strong object lesson in favor of a uniform quarantine under na tional control. We say this with a due recognition of the fact that taking all things under consideration the quarantine at New York has registered a practical success. Up to the present time it has served the grand object of keeping the cholera out of the country in epidemic form. That there have blunders and even failures In caring for the quarantined peo ple may fairly be credited to the incom plete arrangements under which the work was commenced and the haste with which the service had to be organized. But with full praise for the great fact that the quar antine has arrested the disease at our gates and nearly stamped it out among the infected, the necessity for more uni form arrangements is shown when the eminent heads of the quarantine service fall to hurling vituperous language at each other. This is the last result of that divided authority which has produced friction ever since the work has been in operation. Dr. Hamilton, in charge of the Govern ment service,having criticised some of the arrangements under the municipal service, Dr. Jenkins comes to the front with evi dences of exacerbated temper. His most parliamentary expression concerning Dr. Hamilton's statements is that they are not true; while the more ample way of reliev ing the feelings of the municipal Health Officer is employed in declaring that one of Dr. Hamilton's assertions is "a lie:" that another is "another lie," and that he "should not be so dishonest." This is to be deplored for a double reason. In the first place there is the principle announced by Truthful James, that It Is not proper for a scientific cent To say his brother Is an ass (or a liar) or words to that Intent, Even if the result of "heaving rocks at him," which was produced in the case reported by Truthful James, does not fol low at New Tork, it is plain that the scientific authorities are transgressing the proprieties. Moreover the leading object of discovering and quarantining the cholera is not to be subserved when the divided power develops to the extent of unparliamentary expressions in the plain Anglo-Saxon. We think that one result of the cholera campaign will be the establishment of a uniform and well-equipped quarantine service backed by the national authority at every frontier. WEAVER AND THE DEMOCRATS. The experience of General Weaver In Georgia is a proof that the old idea of suppressing free political discussion by mob law is still nfe there. The spectacle of a political candidate silenced by the disorder of gangs is heightened by the fact that women at his meetings were made the targets for missiles. General Weaver has been driven- to leave Georgia, and thus presents a' practical evidence that the Solid South rests on -the suppres sion of free speech. " ' ' Two cotemporaries, the Birmingham Age-Herald and the Washington Pott, pre rcntaplea in extenuation for this con duct The Southern paper says that the Georgians treated" Weaver "precisely as ti:ey treat their own eminent politicians," and that "General "Weaver was not the first man to smell 'decayed hen fruit in tins campaign in Georgia. Ho was merely a victim of one of the customs of the country." The Washington Pott nmpli- fies on this text by asserting that the Georgians "will break a potato on the Corinthian forehead of Tom Watson I They are even capable of scrambling eggs in the ambrosial hair of General Gordon himself." Supposing it to be so, it remains the fact that this forcible method of discussing political Issues is one of the characteristics of the Solid South. A political interest which finds its strength in the solidity fostered by such methods is tainted as the rot ten eggs clear up to the summit of the edifice. x- Yet it is a remarkable example of politi cal blindness that General Weaver will continue as a candidate to serve the inter ests of the party whose strength lies in the very intolerance -of which' he is a victim. The utmost expectations of success for the'PeopIe's party onlycomprise the hope of throwing the election into the House and making Democratic supremaoy cer tain. It might be supposed that General Weaver after his experience would con ceive of no more important issue than that this country shall not be governed by the suppression of free discussion. Yet up to this time no intention has developed on his part of abandoning the position of ten der to Democratic victory. Yet such a demonstration of the Demo cratic spirit in the South can hardly fall to have some effect on his followers. It is hardly possible that the ex-Republican members of the People's party can now be deluded into voting for Democratic su premacy by a roundabout course. SENATOR HILL'S STRANGE LOGIC. Senator Hill is getting mo3t mysteri ously mixed upon the tariff. In his sec ond speech the one at Buffalo Saturday night ho said explicitly that a tax on im ports was "the best and easiest method of raising the needed revenue for the support of the Government" He administered a rebuke to the "extreme men now osten sibly serving with the Democratic party, who are opposed to all tariff taxation," and remarked as his conclusive judgment: "There can be no reasonable doubt that tariff taxation will continue to be the permanent policy of the Government, not withstanding the opinions of those sin cere but impracticable theorists who ad vise its abandonment" This is pretty tart advice for the free traders; bnt, as will be seen farther on, the Senator, hav ing parted company with them, soon gets lost himself. Having got so far as this, almost upon tho exact lines, and In very nearly the same words as were simultaneously used by Congressman Dalzell in addressing a Republican meeting in this city Saturday night, Mr. Hill comes to tbe turn in the road. Admitting that tariff duties must continue to support the Government, Mr. Hill expressly denies the right to so im pose them as to foster American indus tries. This Is a strange conclusion to ar rive at, and the reason he gives for it is as equally curious. Hear him: "I am will ing to concede that the first effect of a high tariff upon a new industry is to stim ulate business, but this effect is generally followed by undue competition occasioned by the very success incident to the favor itism shown; then overproduction results; and in the end stagnation in business, and reduction of wages, and fall In prices, and bankruptcy." How does this comport with the cry of the party organs that the tariff keeps up excessive prices of articles to consumers? Senator Hill's complaint is that the tariff soon makes the prices so low as to bank rupt the American manufacturer! Ac cording to that view the tariff would be a good thing for the consumer, but a bad thing for the manufacturer. Bat will -Senator Hill explain why, then, American manufacturers are almost a unit for a pro tective tariff, If the tariff thus threatens them with bankruptcy. Of course the Senator will not explain, for his statement Is a misleading jumble of fact and fiction; and he knows that American manufacturers depend upon and ask for a protective tariff. He speaks of the competition at home to which their success under a protective tariff subjects them; but they are willing to take the success and the home competition with it As Senator Hill must know, It is the com petition from abroad which they fear the competition of the products of labor fifty per cent cheaper than prevails in the United States. The logical outcome of Senator Hill's remarks Is that It would be better if American Industries were not started, or had no temporary success, than that they should increase and multiply at the risk of brisk competition at home. He would subject them, however, to the severest competition from abroad, so that they should never grow too healthy or too pros perous, should not expand, nor yet com mit the bankrupting folly of making prices too low to the consumer. In contrast with this is the protectionist policy of so distributing the tariff duties which Senator Hill admits must be imposed as to encourage Ameri can manufactures. The protection policy Is to put a tariff on such foreign articles as can be produced at home in quantities and equal to the de mands of our people thus encouraging their production at home, and thereby giving remunerative employment to ski lied labor in a thousand forms; and, at the same time, to admit free those articles which cannot be produced in America, Mr. Hill's plan is either to impose the tariff at nap-hazard or to studiously avoid any placing of it which should foster American industry, lest the fostering of tbe same might lead to multiplication of such industries, and business might be come too brisk and prosperous. This Is an astounding position for a Senator and a statesman to drift into. As Senator Hill, equally with Mr. Dalzell, admits that the $363,000,000 per year needful for the Government must be raised by tariff duties, the question for the people who, under eitherregime, willhave to pay this $363,000,000 is whether they want it so levied as to foster and multiply our Industries or to shut these industries down. Is it true, for Instance, that we have too many iron and steel mills and too many glass manufactories in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio and West Virginia; and would It really be a good thing, as Senator Hill argues, if half or three fourths of them had never been started or were to close to-morrow? When Senator Hill decided to part com pany with the free trade wing of the party there was no legitimate stopping place for him short of protection. His position betrays the fatal weakness of his party in this campaign. i A COMMISSION'S STATUS. The inquiry -what has become of the Inter-State Commerce Commission Is pre sented by the Tonawanda Review with an Intimation that perhaps Tee Dispatch can tell. If our esteemed cotemporary of Northeastern Pennsylvania means by this to insinuate that The Dispatch has concealed, kidnaped, abducted or terror ized tbe Commission we repel the libel with scorn. But if it means to apply for information to a paper which has kept watch on the progress of the Commission I with sympathy and regret we will gladly state what we know of that body. The Commission was last heard of at Chicago struggling with the task of trying to make law-breaking railroad officials produce the evidence of their offenses. That was not very long ago; and at that time it presented te case which the gods are said to view with interest of good men struggling against ad verse odds. At present, as the Eevieio very strongly asserts, the Commis sion is not giving any very good demon stration of its right to exist But there are a" large number of reasons for that, some of which are not its fault In that class is the leading one that it Is.matched against the corporate powers at too great odds. The offense which the inter-State commerce law tried to curb having been Illegal from the first, we had the spectacle presented of five men set to tho task of bringing into subjection a class of respec table law-breakers whose powers may be expressed in Its capitalization of 510,000, 000,000. It was only a question of time until those Inveterate offenders should discover that they could defy the inter State commerce statute with little more difficulty than attended the violation of common or Stato laws before it was passed. It is true that the Commission has aided this discovery by the manifestation of its opinion that it was at liberty to refrain from enforcing one section of the law and to construe others out of existence. It did tbe latter with the famous long-and-short-baul class for a time, and it has steadily declined to take any action against violators of the section against pooling. With that predisposition it is not strange that it should fight shy of the Reading deal, although in its decision in the Coxe case it laid bare the 'basis of the extortion on which the anthracite combination bases Its existence, and was confronted with a peculiarly impressive example of the corporate powers which defy its findings. But while the Commission may" not have demonstrated itself very powerfully, people who are willing to fight for their rights may get some comfort from tho fact that the courts are open to them. If rail road corporations will obey neither the Commission nor the courts the question is whether the people cannot adopt more stringent measures. If the comparative absence of horns and torches means tbe presence of more thought than usual In this campaign it will be so muoh tbe better for Protection. If they value consistency at all, the Democrats who voted for tbe tariff and banking planks adopted at Chicago mast be sorry tbey tailed to consult tbeir nominee for the Presidency before deciding the ques tions. But then consistency is one of those small matters of detail to which the said gentlemon disdain to pay attention. Cleveland evidently found oul what were not tbe views of the majority of Demo cratic delegates at Chicago, and forthwith set forth his discoveries iu a letter. Venezuelans may cut one another's throats to their hearts' content, if they be foolish enough to find pleasure In so dolnir. But tbey will be made to clearly understand that disregard for the American flag, or the rights and safety of American citizens, can not be displayed with Impunity. When the city gets fifty new police officers there should be a diminution in crime, as there was in mortality after the recent boom of cleanliness. A man in Chicago who was supposed to be suffering from cholera, in spite of his own emphatic denials, was passed around in a manner that augurs ill for the Windy City's safety if a genuine case should bap pen to reach it A bainbow-chaser merely speaks of a State as "doubtful," so that he may at once contradict himself by a positive assertion that his party will carry it. Extermination" of American indus tries is as impossible as an absolutely literal free trade. But enormous damage to Ameri can industries would inevitably follow a tar iff for revenue only, which is practical free trade masquerading as tariff ro form. Georgia and a few of its neighboring States would be all the belter lor a cam paign of education in decent manners and tbe right of free speech. AmebICAN, British and Russian vessels are having a lively game of catch as catch can in tho sealing seas; but tbe payment of forfeits therein remains to bese:tled at a later dato, and it threatens to be full of com plications. Stevenson has no standing room on the private platform built in bis colleague's letter of acceptance. The question whether the workhouse is a place of detention or a lodging house which the Inmates are free to leave at their pleasure again demands an answer. From now on Cleveland will angle.for votes with artificial bait. PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE. Tux engagement is announced In London of Lieutenant Jepnson, who was a member of the last Stanley expedition, to a daugh ter of Addison Head, of San Franclsoo. The late Gideon Wells, the cattle king of Maine, is said to have paid to the farmers of that State in his long reign of business, moie than $50,000,000 for live stock, hay and wool. Dr. Biqubd Ibsen, the son of the famous Norwegian writer, according to foreign papers, is soon to be married to the beauti ful daughterofBloernstJerneBJoernson, the poet politician of Norway. General Lots Boqran, ex-President of Honduras, who Is now In this country on a pleasure tour, says the recent labor dis turbances at Homestead and Buffalo were twice the size of thel average Honduras revolution." Blondin is now 63 years old, but he can walk a rope as steadily and safely as when he crossed Niagara in the long, long ago, when such a deed of daring was the wonder of the world. Of course he now uses the low rope for bis performances. Db.

A clear glass jar, about as big as an apol linaris siphon and notunlike tbat refreshing engine in general appearance, attracted the attention of a visitor in a doctor's operating room yesterday. The doctor when asked to explain its use said: 'It Is an old contriv ance used for the treatment of Internal in flammation with certain gases, which I have adopted to a new purpose. In Germany it has been discovered that tbe Injection of salt water into the veins of a cholera patient is unquestionably beneficial, even if it is not always a sovereign remedy. One of tbe difficulties besetting hypodermio InJ eo tion in this case is tbe liability of air.as well as water to be pumped into the. blood. Tho presence of any considerable air In the heart is fatal. Thereforo we must be arte to keep the air out of the salt water before we can safely inject it into the patient's system. This glass Jar Is covered with an air-tight cap, through which a supply pipe and an other pipe connected with the hypodermio needle pass. The salt will be pnt in tbe Jar and the water will be introduced at the top, .passing out by a glass tube brought to with in a half inch of the bottom of the Jar. No air can possibly enter the latter pipe. I be lieve the process is simple and sure, and it cholera comes I shall certainly use this form of injeotor. The principle or the nse of salt water in cholera is that it is the nearest approach to a substitute yet fouud for the serum which the blood loses under the attack of the disease. In unscientific language the salt water keeps tho blood In a liquid stato and especially wards off the collapse of the patient which is the most dread symptom or obolera's ap proaohlng triumph." Brio's Debt to Commodore Ferry. Host of Pittsburg's historic names are commomorated among ber streets, and strangers often wonder at the frequent re currence of the title Duquesne, for example, attached to all sorts of Institutions and en terprises as well as mere highways. It very mncb surprised a Fittsburger on the other band to note when he visited Erie recently that while tbe hospitable citizens of that pleasant place freely proffered all sorts of anecdotes and historical remin iscences concerning Commodore Ferry, not a street in tbe town bad been named aftor the Illustrious sailor who made Erie harbor glorious, not a statue nor even a tablet or simple brass in church or publlo square spoke In his honor. The Fittsburger asked several Erie people why Perry had not boen celebrated in stone as well as story udon the scene of his most important achievement, next to the battle itself, namely the prepara tion and building of his little fleet, but no satisfactory answer coald be evoked. One grave and reverend seignior opined that Erie had no call to celebrate Perry bocause tbe battle in which ho met tho enemy with suoh gratifying results took place further up the lake; another deprecatingly urged tbat such deeds as Perry's needed neither monument nor nominal remembrance on street cornqrs, and a third plead that Perry had a statuo already somewbete else. Nev ertheless the Fittsburger felt that Ferry's name at least should live in some visible sign in Erie, and surely when the whole continent is going crazy over the worthy adventurer who discovered America centu ries ago, it is a good time to urge the pres ervation of local history of far greater real value in regard to its Influence upon na tional character. Tbe Tourist Tries the Guide. The intelligent tourist has a great deal of fun with the guides and the guidebooks; the former's pen and tongue are never tired of telling bow unreliable and perfunctorily stupid the latter are. What the guides think of tbe tourists is not so often chron icled. I wonder what the canny old Scotch man who was expounding the wonders of the Lachlne Bapids to a party of Pittsburg ers tbls summer thought of one of them. The old guide bad explained tbat while it was possible for vossels and rafts to go down the rapids, nothing ev"er tried to come up, bnt ascended by the canals. "Do the rafts come back Dy the canals?" asked a sane and lully developed man. The guide only looked a reply, and it came dangerously near prolanlty even then. Some Results of a Prize Fight. "The impetus given to amateur athletics in certain directions by such an event as the recent Corbett-Sulllvan fight or fiasco, as you please to icnll It," said a dealer in goods tbat men of. musole and their imi tators alone use, "is simply immense. Tho demand for boxing gloves, Indian clubs, striking bags and the like has nearly doubled, I believe, In most places since the big affair at New Orleans. Ton see the papers have written so much about tho thing, people have talked so muoh, and even sermons on physical culture and exercise have swelled the tide of feel ing, that as a result the young men have taken to fistic training with greater zest than ever. Nor are tho only enthusiasts of the amateur ring all youngsters; two customers or mine, whose taste for boxing dates back to the New Orleans encounter, are fathers of families, and they say tbat tbey want to set tbelr boys a good example. It may be come a parental rule to bring up a son by knocking him down with the gloves." A New Use for Mourning. A small Pittsburg girl celebrated her stay with an aunt at Oil GUy a few weeks ago in a unique fashion. The annt is a belle of great popularity, and ber little niece noted with evor Increasing disgust tbat tbe callers were many in nuulber. How to cut down this visiting list seetns to have been the problom which fascinated tbe infantine brain. The solution she bit upon was radi cal. The child had observed during ber walks abroad upon a door-bell handle at a certain house, the sadly significant white streamers that announce a babe's docense, and had gathered that emblem of mourning acted as a bar to visitors. This gave her an idea. She purloined a com mon white roller towel and carefully drarjod Jt over the bell-pull. Questioned at once as to ner motive, the tot replied tnat she had nopea tnat ner aunt's irienuswonm suppose that she, the-oinnt, was dead aud would therefore suspend their visits. H. J. NEW Y0BX GOES FOB THE EEADIHG. The Senate Committee Lays tho Case Before the Attorney General of the State. New York, Sept. 27. The State Senate Committee, instructed to investigate what is known as the Beading Coal Combine, met to-day. Only two members were present. The session was spent In listening to the recommendations of tbe counsel to the com mittee. The testimony showed that the Philadelphia and Beading Company and four other companies controlled the whole of the output of anthracite coal and had raised its price without regard to the cost of production. In Now Tork State this was done through railroads operated under oharters granted by the State. It is against the laws ol the State for any stook corporation to combine with another stook corporation to prevent competition in the production and s.ile ot the necessaries or life. It la against the laws of this State for the railroads referred to to oomblne to contiol the prloe of coal. There are two remedies: One is to dissolve the companies that have so leased their roads, the other to annul the leases. The committee resolved to adopt tbe recommendations of its coun sel as its opinion, to refer it to the Attorney General and ask him to take such legal steps as he may deem advisable. POSTER WILL GO PISHING. He Had No Idea of Speaking From the New Tork Sub-Treasury Steps. Washington, Sept. 27. Special. Secre tary of the Treasury Foster has no idea of following the precedent of making a polit ical speech from the steps of the New Tork Sub-Treasury building. Ho said to-day that he did not know that ho was booked for a speech in New Tork City. He is preparing for a short fishing excur sion to tne trout streams in the Ad iron -daoks. however, and while In tbat vicinity he may deliver one or two political speeches. He has accepted invitations to deliver a series of campaign speeches in Ohio daring tbe month of October, and that is as far as his programme for the coming contest ex tends. The Infiuenco Clnb Indorsed. New Tork, fcept. 27. Mrs. Mary Frost Ormsby called upon Campaign Chairman Don M. Dickinson at National Democratic headquarters to-day and secured an indorse ment for tbe club of which she is President, whloh was organized unuer tne name or Frances Cleveland Influence Club. It is now to be known as tbo -Democratic Influ ence Club. , GBEAT MAP 0? THE WORLD. A. Geographical Scheme In Which All Leading Nations Are to Take Part. New Tork Bun. J , At tbe Geographical Congress in Berne a year ago Prof. Penck proposed the publica tion of a map of the entire world on a uniform scale of 1 in 1,000,000, or about 18 statute miles to the inoh, the various nations to take part in tbe production of tbe map. The proposition was favorably entertained, and a committee was appointed to take steps for its realization. The raographers of various nations, on tbe whdTe, have re ceived the idea with favor, and there seems to be no doubt that the map will be pro duced. Each sheet of the map up to 60 N. lat. will ombrace 6 In each direotlon. The more northern sheets will embrace 10 of longi tude. Tbe representation of the whole earth, including tho sea, will require 933 of these sheets, while the land alone may be shown on 769 sheets. It Is proposed to give great attention to physical and political features. Br. Ravenstein, tbe English map maker, says tbe rivers will be in blue and the hills In brown. Contour lines will be drawn at elevations of 100,300, 800 and 1,200 meters, and the areas inclosed by them are to be tinted. It is expected that sheets which deal with countries already topographically surveyed will be engraved on copper. Tne remaining sheets will probably be lithographed. Tbe Greenwich meridian will be accepted for the entire map, and all altitudes are to be marked In meters. The official spoiling of all oountrles using tbe Latin alphabet is to be retained. Other alphabets aro to bo transliterated in accordance with a system to be agreed upon, while names in unwritten languages will be spelled phonetically. It Is estimated that the cost of an edition of 1,000 copies of this mnp, showing only tbe land surface, will be $937,190, andas the sale of the first edition at 2 shillings a sheet would pro duce only $173,595, the deficit would have to bo made up by tho Governments concerned or by liberal private patrons. Prof. Ravenstein says he sees nothing Utopian in the scheme. Difficulties may arise as to tho spelling of the names and tbe Introduction of the meter, but the essential thing, to his mind, is the production of a map on a uniform scale. F0TJHD IB THE P0BEST. Little Alice Czcja Turns Up Alive Just as the Search Was Abandoned. Hazletox, Sept. 27. Specia. After all bopos or finding Alice Czoja alive were lven up, and the search for her body in tho mountains was about abandoned, she turns up unexpectedly alive and well. Shortly after midnight, whon an Hungarian miner was returning home after a long tramp through tho mountains, he was startled by a faint cry on tho edge of the woods near Ebervale. After listening a short time he was snre he heard a child sobbing, and darted off in that direotlon. Tbe noise he mado seemed to have frisht ened the child, as no more sobbing was beard, and the man was about leaving the BDOt when he espied almost beneath bis feet the childish form huddled closely under a log. He picked her up in his arms and started off on a run for the Czoja house, miles away. Tbe mother on beholding her lost darling was so overjoyed, she swooned and had to be carried to her room. Tho Joy ous news was quickly spread throughout the village and a general Jubilee was held. To day the Hungarian miners, with whom Alice bad always been a favorite, took time to leave their work and join In the celebra tion of tbe recovery of their little pet. The little one is well and happy and none tbe worse after her five davs' 8io.ro lb the mountains. CHANGES HIS OPINION. A Georgia Editor Who Now Believes That Cleveland Will Get tho Vote. CniCAQO, Sept. 27. "Although I was a Hill man at the Chicago Convention I now be lieve that Cleveland will get a much larger vote than Hill, were ho tbo nominee," said Evan Howell, editor and proprietor of the Atlanta, Ga., Constitution to-day. "Cleveland made no promisos to Hill. That I know positlvely.becanso I have been among tbe very men to whom Mr. Cleve land Is alleged to have made promises and they tell mo be made no promises of any kind. But Mr. Cleveland will have to recog nize the Democratic organizations in New Tork State. Otherwise tne Democrats in tbo Senate, including Hill and Gorman oould make it very interesting for some of his appointees by holding up confirmations and embarrassing him in many ways. But I guess Mr. Cleveland has oliangod some what in his views on this subject." MISS VEEH0EFF STILL ANXIOUS. She Hopes to Find Traces of Her Brother's ' Whereabouts in His Trunks. Wilmisotox, Del., Sept. 27. Miss Mattie Verhoeff, the sister or John M. Verhoeff, who is supposed to have been lost in tbe Arctic regions, was a disappointed woman to night. She is still nt the home of her undo, tho Rev. A. N. Kelgwlu, of this city. Miss Verhoeff folly cxpeoted the arrival of tho trunks and papers of her lost brother to nlsht, but contrary to expectations they are still detained in Philadelphia, and will not reach this city before to-morrow afternoon. Tbe effects of young Verhoeff were taken from the Kite upon the arrival of the vessel In Philadelphia, and at onee taken in oharge by tbe Custom House officials. They have been dilatory In the work of transferring them and the result is a disappointment to Miss Verhoeff, who hoped to find in them some tidings that may lead to the where abouts of her missing brother, if he be still alive. HYPNOTICALLY WEDDED. A Baltimore Belle Who Says She Was Married Against Her W1U. Baltimobe, Sept. 27. cTjecfal. Druollla Wolff asked for an annulment of her mar riage with George Flack to-day, on tbe ground that the latter had inveigled her by nslng hypnotism. For a period of about six months before the ceremony, says the bill, Flack had acquired absolute control and authority over her, so that when in bis society she bad no Independent thought and no power of resistance.
