MUTINOUS RECRUITS.
They Quieted Down Before the Ar
tillery Gave Them a Volley.
London, Oct. 18. The Observer will
tomorrow publish a dlspeatch from
Berlin saying that a party of recruits
who were proceeding by train to Darm
stadt mutinied during the journey.
When Rastadt was reached -they left
the train and greatly damaged the sta
tion. They also threw stones at and
wrecked the windows of a passing ex
press train. It Is said that during the
trouble the recruits shouted: "Long
live France!" For a time their officers
were unable to control them In any
way, and a report of the mutiny was
telegraphed to Darmstadt.
Before the train reached Darmstadt,
however, the officers succeeded In re
storing order among their men. When
the party reached their destination
they found a battery of artillery drawn
up to receive them, but by this time
all signs of Insubordination had dis
appeared. Try Jordan's one-half minute stews.

WHEAT AND SILVER.
Pamphlet I'pea the Subject Issued
bv the Agricultural Department.
Washington, Oct. 18. The agricultur
al department will tomorrow Issue a
pamphlet on the subject of wheat
prices, by Professor John Hyde, of tho
statistical department. There is no at
tempt at concealment of the fact that
the subject matter of the circular has
considered along with the money ques
tion and made part and parcel of it.
The staiBtlvs cover a period of 23
years ending June 30, 1895, during which
time the United Slates exported more
than two billion bushels of wheat and
219,082,113 barrels of flour, equivalent in
the aggregate to more than three bil
lion bushels of grain. For these ex
ports were received more than three
billion of dollars "in gold or its equiv
alent," the average eport price of wheat
for the period being 1.04 per gushel In
gold. The circular says the expression
"in gold" 1b used because from the be
ginning of tho period under the con
sideration down to the end of 1878 the
prices of all commodities were express
ed In currency that was continually
fluctuating In value. The circular says:
"Before, the prices of American pro
ducts at any time from 1862 to 1S78 can
be compared with the prices of similar
articles In other countries or at other
times, thoy have to be reduced to their
value In money of commerce." After
discussing tho question of supply and
demand, and making reference to the
new wheat growing countries that have
opened up, causing a reduction in the
prlco of wheat, tho circular concludes:
"In the face of such facts as the fore
going it would surely be ridiculous to
discuss seriously the contention that
It is the fall in the price of silver that
has caused the fall In the price of
wheat. From 1873 to 1882 sliver fell
morn than eighteen cents an ounce, or
fourteen per cent, and wheat advanced
about 24 cents per bushel, or 2 per
cent. During the last ninety days sliver
has fallen four cents an ounce, and
wheat, owing to delayed harvests In
other coutrles has advanced from 64
to 78 cents per bushel."
RAN A CIVILIAN THROUGH.
Cowardly Attack or an Officer t'pon
an Unarmed Man.
Berlin, Oct. 18 The ofilclal pro
gramme of the Reichstag, the open ng
of the session of which body will take
place on Nov. 9, includes bills deal
ing with emigration, an amendment to
the worklngmen's insurance system,
and a measure providing for reform
of the system of military jurisdiction.
The necessity for the latter measure Is
shown In an Incident which occurred
in a cafe In Carlsruhe last Tuesday
evening.
A civilian named Slebemann upon en
tering the cafe Jostled against a chair
upon which a lieutenant named Bruse
wita was sitting. The latter rose from
his chair and roughly pushed Slebe
mann away, at the same time demand
ing that he apologize. Siebemann re
plied: "Leave me alone," whereupon
Brusewltss drew his sword and threw
himself upon Slebemann.
Several persons who were present In
terfered, and Hiebemann for the time
escaped. ISiusewiU scarchej the cafe
for him and finally found Siebemann
in a passage, when he locked the door,
barring all egres3 or Ingress, arid ran
him through with his sword.
Brusewltss pleads justification, main
taining that the etiquette of the mili
tary service required him to punish
a civilian Interfering with him, and
It remains to be seen whether the mili
tary authorities will uphold him In his
cowardly act of making an armed as
sault upon a defenceless man.
ACCIDENT TO THE PARIS.
The Steamer Arrives at Southamp
ton in a Disabled Condition.
Southampton, Oct. 18. The American
line steamer Paris, Captain Watklns,
from New York Oct. 7, before reported
as proceeding with her starboard en
gine disabled, arrived here at 9.15
o'clock this morning.
Captain Watklns Bald that the acci
dent occurred at 8.40 o'clock on the
morning of . Oct. 8. The starboard
shaft broke In the tube at a point
about fifty feet from the propeller. The
vessel was at once stopped and re
mained stationary for an hour. After
a close Internal and external examina
tion had been made It was decided not
to turn back for New York, but to pro
ceed for Southampton under the port
engine. During tho trip no attempt
was made to patch up the break owing
to Its position, and the Paris complet
ed her passage under her port screw.
She reached 112 knots per hour, and
would have made much better time had
she not been compelled to drag her
starboard screw, which materially re
tarded her progress. Nevertheless, she
covered the course without a hitch.
On Friday the passengers met In the
saloon and presented a testimonial to
the captain and chief engineer.
During the passage the weather was
rough, but no anxiety was felt, excent
on Wednesday last, whea a heavy gale
prevailed. Happily the weather was
fine on the day the mishap occurred.
THE CROWD STONED A CAR.
Lives of Railroad Pasvengcrs En
dnngcred by q Mob.
West Chester, Pa Oct. IS. Edward
Brown, the negro who attacked Mrs.
Thomas Johnson In a suburb of Coates-
ville night, before last, was landed In
jail at this place at 1.80 o'clock this
morning. Constable Umstead, who had
him in charge, had an exciting experi
ence. When the officer took the culprit
trom the iockup in uoatesville to the
railroad station a mob of six hundred
men surrounded him and It was with
the greatest difficulty that he succeeded
In placing the scared negro safely on
board the cars. Shouts of "hang him"
rent the air and several movements
were made by the mob as If to wrest
the prisoner from the officer's clutches.
but It was after the officer and his pris
oner were seated in the car that the
most excitement occurred. Stones were
hurled throush the car windows thick
and fast, and for a time it looked as if
some lives would be sacrificed, while
passengers in the car became terror
stricken and rushed In all directions to
escape the Hying missiles.
One man, a passenger from the west,
was struck on the head by a stone and
the whole side of his face was laid open,
while a lot of others received slight cuts
and bruises about the head and body.
The county authorities and the Penn
sylvania railroad detectives are work
ing diligently on the case and there are
likely to be wholesale arrests shortly.
SCOTLAND YARD UNDER A CLOUD
Its Oflieial Criticised Tor !MImao
ngemcnt of the 'Dynamite Cases."
London, Oct. 18. The home secretary,
Sir Mathew White-Ridley, has ex
pressed in decided terms his views as
to the mismanagement in the case of
the so-called dynamite conspirators.
That there has been gross bungling
somewhere is evident; and It Is not im
probable that the resignation of one or
two of the leading officials at Scot
land Yard will be announced before the
last is heard of the "brilliant captures"
of Tynan and his friends. Moreover,
the matter will certainly be brought
before parliament.
. A EUROPEAN CONCERT.
Sensational Reports About Russia
Discredited.
Berlin, Oct. 18. The story published
In today's Issue of the Vienna Neue
Frele Presse alleging that the Russian
war oiilce has ordered all of the regi
ments In the districts of Kieff, Odessa,
and. Charkoff to be at once put' upon a
full war footing, and that all officers
on leave of absence and the retired list
have been recalled to service Is utter
ly discredited here. Nothing Is known
in ofilclal circles here showing that
Russia is mobilising troops, and the
assertion or tne .Neue Frele Presse that
the movement on the part of Russia
"is a step toward the complete mobi
lization or tne Russian forces and por
tends that Russia will receive a Euro
pean mandate to occupy Constanti
nople" Is regarded as too absurd to be
worthy or notice.
The Pesther Lloyd and the Vienna
Polltlsche Correspondent concur in say
Ing that a concert of the powers has
been arranged upon the probable basts
of the maintenance of the territorial
status quo of Turkey, but upon Euro,
pean control of the Turkish admlnls
tration. This statement concurs with
the advices recently cabled In these
dispatches, which were obtained from
omcial sources.
DIVORCE IN "HOGAN'S ALLEY."
Soubretto Undertakes to Serve Pa
pers on Actor Leonard.
New York. Oct. 18. John F. Leonard,
a member of the variety team of Gil
more & Leonard, now playing In a
farce comedy called "Hogan's Alley,"
was served yesterday with papers In a
suit for .absolute divorce brought by his
wife. Rose G. Leonard. Mrs. Leonard
names a member of the "Hogan's Al
ley" company, Gladys Haden, whose
real name is Lottie Wilmington, as the
co-respondent, and alleges that the
pair bave lived together at 204 West
Fifty-third street as man and wife.
Mrs. Leonard's lawyers have been
trying to serve the summons on Leo
nard for a week. Josie Evans, a sou
brette and friend of Mrs. Gilmore, vol
unteered to serve the papers, and yes
terday afternoon she hired a box at the
People's theater where Leonard Is per
forming, and occupied It with Sirs.
Leonard. Her plan was to step out on
Ihn Kfnim nnrt mrve TonArd tipfore the
audience In the interests of lnnocenf
publicity and as a spur to the jaded
imaginations of the press agents, but
Leonard spotted the pair In the box,
and, divining their intention, sent his
manager around to invite them behind
the scenes.
SWAPPING YARNS.
One Is Told of a Remarkable Expert
ence of War Time and Whisky.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
It Is curious how things fall out in
this world, especlaly on suburban
trains. One evening last week a party
of students from one of the universi
ties began swapping yarnB. First one
would take his turn at telling a story,
and then the next would entertain the
crowd for a few minutes. The talking
was necessarily loud, in order to be
heard, above the rumble of the cars.
The passengers could hear quite well,
and not a few became Interested and
laid aside their papers to listen.
"Now, I'm going to make mine a war
story, bnys," began the third student
In a high-pitched voice.
"You know in war times whisky was
scarce, and the soldiers resorted to all
sorts of stratogems to get a dram. One
day one of the boys said to a friend In
another regiment: 'Say, I'll give you
$1 If you'll get me a half pint of whis
ky.' 'Done!' replied the friend. 'Give
you that whisky before night.' But
before night one of the regiments had
orders to move, and the thirsty man
was left without tho whisky and with
out the dollar. Now, the curious part
of it is that at a reunion thirty years
after the man who was to have had
the whisky was telling the story to a
comrade. 'Of course,' .he said, laugh
ing, 'I've never seen the fellow who
promised me the whisky from that day
to this.'
"Just then a mnn with one sleeve
empty stepped up and said: 'Weren't
you in such and such a regiment and
don't you remember giving another
soldier $1 for half a pint of whisky?'
'Yes.' 'And the regiment moved off
and you never got the whisky?' 'Yes.'
'Well, I'm that soldier, and I got that
pint of whisky, and I've been carrying
It ever since,' and he pulled the flask
from his pocket." The student van
ished amid the plaudits of his com
panions. An old fellow In front had been
chuckling gleefully behind his news
paper. He turned around and yelled
heartily: "Pretty good, young man;
pretty good. You've got things straight.
I'm the man that paid for the whis
ky!" Quasi-Penitent
I want a little casket.
With hasp and lock and key.
To hide a little treasure
That's very dear to me. '. '
My sweetest aln's the Idol
I seek to put away, 1
But I will not resign it ' j .
Forever and for aye. :i
I want It kept securely '
I'm quusl-penltent,
And I'll be very likely
To claim It after Lent.
