Uriel fur KaiiMim.
Detkoit. March .'). Joseph Perrine,
proprietor of one of the Iarze-t llourins
mill- in Detroit, and a half-millionaire,
wa- called to h:s door by a stranger la-t
mht with a me-saae purporting to
come from an intimate friend who was
reported a- ill and dc-Unns I'errine's at
tendance. Ferrine left home with the
stranger at about 10 o'clock, entered a
coupe with him and went away. At
1 o'clock this morninir, I'ernne's door
bell ranz and an envelope was thrust in
by a youn;r man who immediately disap
peared. The envelope contained a check
for SIS.ooo on the I'enin-ular bank, of
which I'errine is vice-president and a
Iarire stockholder. Also a promis-ory
note for 515.000, payable in live day-,

this evening. The police were immedi
ately put to work on the case, but at 11
o'clock this morning they had found no
hie either to the persons who
Kidnaped Perrine or to his pro-eut
whereabouts. Perrine is a batchelor. 53
years old. He is extensively interested
in Detroit industrial and financial insti
tutions. The letter to Hesselback
-tated that Perrine had gotten into
trouDle with a woman and had to pay
this money over without a word, but
thi- statement is scouted. Ioth note
and check bore Perrine's genuine signa

Detroit, March 21. Joseph Perrine.
the wealthy miller who was kidnaped in
so mysterious a manner, returned home
about s:30 last niuht safe and sound, but
somewhat unnerved by his experience,
lie says that upon entering the coupe
the nisht before, his suspicions were not
irousod until he noticed the vehicle turn
in an opposite cirection from his friend's
nouse. He then threw open the door
ind attempted to jump out. He was
met by two masked men who held re
volvers to his head and forced him back
.nto the cab, they following. They bound,
jacsed and blindfolded him. the cab
keeping on. and Perrine was unable to
Keep any idea of the locality in his mind.
Finally he was removed to a room where
his captors released him from bonds,
and, covering him with revolvers, forced
aim to write the check, promissory note
md letters. The lattPr were dictated
from typewritten copies in the hands of
nis captors, who remained masked and
disguised. Perrine was not further dis
turbed till late yesterday afternoon,
when his captors informed him that
"their game was tip. but that they would
get him the next time."'
He was then rebound, zasced and
blindfolded and conducted from the
room. Their course seemed to lay over
a plowed field, after which they entered
the cab and another Ions roundabout
drive was commenced. At last Perrine
was unloosed and thrust from the cab in
a dazed condition, and before ho recov
ered himself the cab had disap
peared. He finally located himself
as beins at the corner of Myrtle
and Thirteenth streets. He boarded a
Myrtle street car and was shortly at
home. The valuables he had with him
were not touched. He was furnished
with good food and treated with consid
eration during his captivity. His story
is accepted as reliable and the police are
niakinu every effort to locate the perpe
trators of the outrasre.
THEY COULDN'T VOTE.
Missouri Women Iteclte the Edict of 1TTO
at the Foils.
SrniN'GFiELD. Mo.. March 20. Four
members of the Springfield Woman Suff
rage club Mrs. Ruth Owen, Fannie
Crenshaw, Matilda Weaver and Sue
Marstella attempted to vote at the
sewerage election here and had their
ballots rejected at three wards of the
city. Mrs. Owen is the president or" the
Woman Suffrage club here, and a very
prominent widow of considerable wealth.
Mrs. Weaver paid 51.100 of taxes last
year and Mrs. Crenshaw over 5700. The
four ladies went in a body to each of the
three wards embracing their respective
residences, and the leader of the discon
tented quartet, Mrs. Owen, recited the
Boston tea party story, claiming that
taxation without representation is as
ninch tyranny to-day as in 1770. The
movement had been quietly arranged at
a meeting of the suffrage club a few
days before the election. The ladies
feel proud of their record, and think it
will mo'd public sentiment in favor of
the suffrase cause.
Sale of the Maxwell Land Grant
Dexveb, Colo., March 20. It Is an
nounced that the famous Maxwell land
crant. containing 1.700.000 acres of land,
has been sold. The price is not men
tioned. It is the largest deal ever re
corded in the wet. The agent who made
the deal has been in New York for the
past three month?, where he has been
negotiating, but he will say very little
about the matter. Some idea" of the deal
may be gained when it is stated that the
company is stocked for 510,000,000. The
final payment is to be made in about
three months, when the company will
take possession of the lands.

NEBRASKA'S CONTEST.
Uriels Filed in the Now Noted floyri
Thayer Case.
Lincoln. March IS. The decision in
the Doyd-Thayer gubernatorial contest
has been indefinitely postponed. It is
claimed that two of the justices favor
Koyd, while the third favors Thayer. It
is also certain that there is a scheme to
remove one of the two judges favoring
Hoyd by giving him a federal position.
Two briefs were filed yesterday by the
attorneys of Ciov. Boyd in the quo war
ranto case. The first cites the sections
of the national and state constitutions in
which provisions are made for admitting
Nebraska into the l'nion on an equal
footing with the original states. It as
serts that citizenship, therefore, is inhe
rent in the inhabitant upon the forma
tion of the government- A historical
precedent is quoted in substantiation of
this. The words, "We. the people of
Nebraska." in the state constitution, is
held to refer to the inhabitants of Nebra-ka
at the time the constitution was
adopted. The second brief alleges that
the lieutenant-governor is the proper
person to bring suit, as Thayer failed to
qualify within ten days from the time
lioyd qualified. Decision will probably
not be reached for two weeks.
MANY DEATHS.
Malignant Diphtheria Is Abroad lu Quebea
The Authorities lilanieworthy.
LJrKHKC. March L-. Consternat'on
reign- in some quarters here owing to an
epidemic of malignant diphtheria. Hun
dreds of adults and children have already
be-n affected by the disease, which is
-aid to be rapidly increasing. It is alleged
that neglect on the part of the dominion
government is responsible for the epi
demic several months ago many poor
families were permitted by an Ottawa
official to occupy for the winter an old
military hospital in a densely populated
part of the city without providinz for
its in-pection. They were little better
than herded together. I'nsanitary con
ditions, which could not be avcided, pre
vailed, with the above result. Deaths
quickly followed, until the epidemic
spread rapidly throughout the neighbor
hood. The state of affairs was brought
to the notice of the health department
this morning and prompt action was im
mediately taken to stamp out the disease
if possible. A house to house inspection
was made aud all the houses in which
people are suffering from the disease
were placarded.
A SHORT HONEYMOON.
A IteneiUct Flees From Wrath To Come
Rcfore the Wedding Supper Is Over.
Toi'.o.vto, Out.. March 17. The sensa
tional termination of a marriage that
took place in St. Luke's Anglican church
last night is the talk of the ciivr to-day.
At s o'clock Fred W. Hall, of Cleveland,
O.. and Miss Katie Warren, of Ottawa,
were made man and wife with all the im
pressive rites of the Anglican church.
The bride and groom and invited guests
went back to Mr. Warren's house, where
the wedding supper was laid out. The
guests had just sat down and merriment
was holdine full sway when a
friend of the young lady beckoned to the
groom to come to the door of the room.
Hail immediately grew white and replied
nervously: -Is it me you want?" He
went out. The friend charged him, upon
information brought by a gentleman who
knew Hall, with being a married man
and having a family. After some hesi
tation Hall admitted that he had been
married in England, but claimed that he
had obtained a divorce. The matter be
coming known the greatest excitement
prevailed, and in the midst of it. after
.Mi-s Warren had given baek the wed
ding ring. Hall disappeared through the
back door and has not since been seen.
It is supposed that he left for Cleveland
on the night train. The young lady has
the sympathy of every one, and "steps
will at once be taken to have the mar
riage aunulled.
NO FURTHER TROUBLE.
A Western Ranchman Does Not Thin Ic the
Indians Want Any More Flghtinjj.
Pierre. March 15. Charley Russell,
a well-known and prominent ranchman
of Midland, sixty-five miles west of
Pierre, on being shown the statement of
Dr. Eastman in the newspapers predict
ing an Indian uprising in the spring,
stated that it was false. The Indians
are thoroughly whipped and appreciate
the fact that Winchester rifles cannot
-tand bofore Gatling and Hotchkiss
guns. He says that most of the Indians
hae no ammunition and those having
most only have twenty-five rounds. In
regard to the battle at Wounded Knee
creek he says the Indians claim to have
lost from 250 to 5G0 killed outright and
twenty-five seriously wounded, only
seventy-three remaining. Mr. Russell
was in the Indian country during all the
Indian uprising and is the best posted
man on the condition of the Indians on
the reservation.

days and can live only a few hours
longer. Her family will carry out the

ANOTHER ASYLUM BURNS.
Six Insane 1'attents Hurried, to Death
In
the Nashville Hospital. j
Nashville, March 14. Fire broke '
out at the Central insane asylcm, seven
miles from the city, on the Murfrcesboro
pike, at 11 o'clock last night. It started '
in the rear of the male wing, which was
destroyed and the flames continued to
rage. There were twenty-eight patients (
in the wing and six of them burned to
death. Before the main building caught '
fire the inmates had been collected aud
organized into condition for moving. i
The Details.
This morning the asylum is a ruin un-1
der which lie the charred bodies of half ,
a dozen inmates, while in the outhouses '
aro huddled those who escaped from the '
lire. The inmates who lost their lives
were in tho west wing. Their names i
are: J. S. Johns, J. Burt Dexten, Blue
Preston, John B. Kelly, W. H. Beastry
and Bv F. Hollowell. A woman Inmate, .
whose name is unknown, was drowned j
in a small lake on the grounds.
Soon after the fire was discovered l
last night the alarm was given and the
400 inmates of the institution were
thrown into commotion; all were rescued
but the Six men who perished. The city '
was telephoned lor aid but the chief of
the fire department could not bo found
and his subordinates refused to move
without orders. Finally, after two
hours delay, the chief was found and he,
with two engines, left for the scene of
disaster. In the meantime the west
wing had collapsed and the inmates,
made frantic by their danger, began
to break from the guard and scatter over
the surrounding country. The fire
engines arrived on the scene at 11:15 and
in a few minutes were playing streams
on the main building. Previously a
number of inmates, servants and guards
by means of buckets, succeeded in hold
ing the fire in check until the greater
part of the unfortunates were rescued.
At 3:30 this morning tho fire was got
under control and the inmates were all
comfortably housed. It is impossible to
give any accurate estimate of the loss,
thouzh it will be heavy. The building
was fully insured.
Syracuse Gets Badly Scorched.
Stbaccse, N. Y., March 14. Two
large fires are raging here. One started
in the wholesale district at 6 o'clock this
morning, beginuing on Franklin and
Fayette streets, and destroyed every
store on the south side of Fayette street,
including the six-story Hogan block, the
new Fay block, tho Loomis block and
other building. At 7:30 fire broke out
in the Roscoe wholesale fruit house,
in another section of the city and quickly
spread to the buildings east and west,
but is now confined to the Vanderbilt
building on the west. The Journal
building is a total loss. The Yates
block and the Montgomery fiats, build
ings a block in length and six stories
high, are in flames. At 10 o'clock the
Candee house barns burned, and the tire
was getting into tho Candee house itself.
Under Control.
At 11 o'clock a. m. the Montgomery
street fire was practically under control.
The walls of the Montgomery flats had
fallen and all danger to St. Paul's cathe
dral and the Grand Opera house block
was passed. The Candee house stables
were still burning, but the fire did not
get into the Candeo house itself. The
Vanderbilt house was scorched some
what but otherwise is all right.
The aggregate of losses is estimated
at 51,000,000, with insurance at least
two-thirds. The Journal opened an
otficc in Warden street and printed their
paper in the Courier office this afternoon.
Among the losers were: T. P. Hogan,
block; Heir A Lighton, cigars; M. P.
Walsh, hardware; Syracuse Furnace
company; Chryst & Sehl: Justin Zubert,
cigars; John II. Link, liquors; United
States hotel; Van Renssalaer block, and
the Syracuse Supply company. The
heaviest loss was on the Montsomery
flats, aggregating 5300,000. The ten
ants lose S30,000. The Journal com
pany lost So0,000.
Owned Three Names la One Day.
SrRiNGFiELD, O., March 14. The first
known case on record of a woman wear
ing three names in twelve hours occurred
here yesterday. Miss Lizzie Ryder, just
a few days past 1G years old, fell
violently in love with Burton Tavenner,
who showed reciprocity. They wanted
to marry, but the girl had no guardian
to give consent, she not being of age.
Mr. and Mrs. John Osborn, with whom
the girl has been living since babyhood,
adopted her yesterday afternoon, chang
ing her name to Osborn. Last night she
was married to Tavenner and is now
Mrs. Tavenner, thus bearing success
ively the names of Ryder, Osborn, and
Tavenner in twenty-four hours.

It Ha Gives Oceaeloa for International j
Dispute.
Rome, March 16. The Italian govern- ,
ment has instructed Baron De Fava, the .
Italian minister at Washington, to pre- ;
sent a vehement protest to the United
States government against the action of (
the mob in New Orleans Saturday, and
the United States has promised to make i
an investigation. Baron De Fava, in a
dispatch to Marquis Di Rudini, the Ital
ian premier and foreign minister, states
that he has protested against the inac
tion of local officials in New Orleans, aud
that Mr. Blaine, the American secretary
of state, expressed horror at the acts of
the New Orleans mob, promising that he
would immediately give the orders of the -president
in the matter, and that the ,
decision would be communicated to the
Italian government.
Secretary Blalae's Despatches.
Secretary Blaine sent the following '
telegram to Gov. Nicholls at New
Orleans: '
Department op State. March 15. His
Excellency. Francis T. Nicholls, Governor j
of Louisiana. New
Orleans: It has been I
represented to the president by the minister
of Italy accredited to this government, that
among the victims of the deplorable ma-sa- ;
, ere wuicu iuuk oia
ere which took place in the city of New Or-
. leans yesterday, were three or more subjecu
stant protection and security for their per
sons and property' making them amennble
on the same basis as our own citizens to the
laws of the United states and the several
states. In their duo and orderly administra
tion. The president deeplv regrets that the '
citizens of New Orleans should have so dis
paraged the purity and adequacy of their
own judicial tribunals as to transfer to the
passionate judgment of a mob a question
that should have been adjudged dl-pas-slonately
and settled by the rules of the
law. The government of the United states
must give to the subjects of friendly powers
that security which it demands for our own
citizens when temporarily under foreign
jurisdictions. It Is the hope of the presi
dent that you will co-operate with him In
maintaining tho obligations of the United
States towards Italian subjects who may be
within the perils of tho present excitement;
that further bloodshed and vlo'ence mav be
prevented, and that all offenders against
the law may be promptly brought to justice.
James G. Blaine. ,
This telegram was the result of a con- ,
ference between the president and the
secretary. This afternoon Baron De
Fava, tho Italian minister, having pre
viously called on Secretary Blaine and
earnestly protested against the killing of
his countrymen, demanded at tho same
time protection for all other Italians in
New Orleans.
Baroa De Fava's Protest.
Baron De Fava, in his protest to Sec
retary Blaine, said that the,IocaI author
ities of New Orleans not only failed to
prevent tho meeting which had been
publicly announced and was known to
bo hos'.ilo to the Italians, but had also i
held an attitude purely passivo during
the massacre. He said that he was
obliged to reserve for his government tho
right to demand any and all reparation
it judged necessary.
Press Comment.
The papers here have the following
comments on the New Orleans tragedy:
The Capitan Fracauba says:
The weak in America are at the merev of
the ferocious, bloody populace to be tortu'red
am! murdered in broad dayllcht.
The Don ChUclottc Delia Mancia
marks:
re
Italy ought to demand that Instant meas
ures be taken to protect the Italian colony
In New Orleans It is just. also, to recog
nize the fact that a similar incident would
not occur If the towns on the At
lantic were not literally infested with
the ex-galley slaves of Europe.
Pleased the "Lonnnnen."
London, March 16. The newspapers

New Orleans on Saturday last.
Why an Ironclad Was Not Sent.
Rome. March 16. rapolo Romano, to
day, referring to the New Orleans
tragedy, says that, relying on the fore
sight of the American authorities, and
out of regard for a sincerely friendly
power, the Italians have refrained from
sending an ironclad to the mouth of the
Mississippi.
A SCRAP OF HISTOttT.
New Orleans Always Hail a Severe Way
of Treating Foreigners.
New Orleans, March 1C Saturday's
trouble recalls reminiscences of a prior
crusade against Sicilians. In 1550 there
was a Sicilian political club in existence
here, and it attempted to interfere with
the politics of the day. In the contest
between the democrats and the natho
Americans, known as the know-nothing
party, the Sicilians were suddenly taught
a severe lesson, and very soon became
apprised of the fact that the native
American party would not tolerate their
interference. The foreigners had at
that time organized down town, and at
tempted to control that section of the
city. Because of their numerL-al
strength they prided themselves that
they wouid be successful, but they soon
found themselves deceived. There were
frequent rows between the two parties,
and one night during an election the
Sicilians attempted to take charge of the
polls. Riots followed, and ten or fifteen
of the Sicilians were either shot or driven
into the river. The event had a whole
some effect. It kept them quiet until
the last few years.

A Tour Generations Party Observed In
Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., March 10. The early
Richmond fc Danville railroad train this
morning brought in one family among
the passengers which consisted of six
teen members. They had come to At
lanta to see the sights and to buy a sup
ply of spring and summer clothing. In
the waiting room of the union depot they
partook of a lunch, and then started out
walking two by two. There were four
generations represented. A similar sight
was never witnessed on the streets of
Atlanta before. There was the great
grandfather, James Haddock, grand
father and grandmother Haddock, papa
and mamma Haddock, and eleven Had
dock boys, five strapping young men

Haddock boys.

mors to the effect that the Brazilian gov
J eminent does not intend to carry out the
I recent treaty of reciprocity agreed upon

by the action of the authorities at Rio

twin screw speeders built in this country j
on favorable terms they will probably i
begin to carry Uncle Sam's mails under !
his own starry bunting within

New York office of the Inman line that
the cost of constructing a big steamship

than building one on the Clyde that j
the project may bo abandoned. It will ',
not be, however, if the sub-idy is big .

seriously considering the matter.
