WASHINGTON , April ai. [ Special Tele
gram to tlio UKK.J Major John E. Hlaine ,
paymaster In the army , who died to-day. Is a
brother of James G. Illaln. He entered the
army In 18 < W as storekeeper In the Quarter
master's department , serving In that capacity
for two years , when ho resigned. lu March ,
1875 , Major Blalno was appointed a paymas
ter by President Grant. The death of Major
Blalno does not make a vacancy in the
pay corps that can be filled. Three
years ago an act was passed nxlni ? the
number ot paymasters at twenty-nine and
providing that no appointments should be
made until the number of majors in tlio
corps should fall below twenty-nine. I lie
number of majors now on the list Is forty-
two , which has been reduced by the death of
Major Ulalne to' forty-one. As thirteen
majors now on the list must be dropped to
bring It below the number specified by the
law , It Is likely to bo several years before ap
pointments can be made to this corps.

plied that he had not made
up his mind to call an extra

time came. Ho had conversed with n num
ber of members and uonators anil they seemed
to bo unanimously of the opinion that one
ought to be called The cabinet was of the
same opinion also , and while It was difficult
to determine so far In oil nice , as long as the

CHICAGO , April 21. [ Special Telegram to
the Hnn.J His as dllllcult for a camel to
pass through the eye of a needle as for a re
porter to see and speak to Hon. James G.
Blalne , of Maine. The hotel clerks are
wearied with the ceaseless flow of cards , thu
owners of which are seeking audience with
the dlstlnzulshed visitor. This , however , Is
sturdily denied. The cards meet the same
fate as the senders thereof viz : both nro
left. The fate which was dealt out to the
banker's club In the regretful declination to
accept their kind Invitation to a banquet will
doubtless crush out of existence all similar
attempts to do honor to "tho plumed
knight. " A few distinguished people called
on him this morning , among whom may be
mentioned Juduo Grestmm , Leonard
Swell , Mr. Charles L. Hutchinson ,
Mr. Marshall Field , Senator C. B. Farwell ,
Mr. Chuunccy Blair , Mr. Francis Murphy ,
tlio temperance orator , and Mr. Angus
Smith , of Milwaukee. Mr. Walker Hlalno
was seen by a group of reporters and said
his father was not equal to the task ot being
entertained on so prodigious a scale as was
proposed. Ho was not very strong and
could not stand much excitement. Shortly
before noon Mr. Walker Blaine received a
dispatch announcing the death this morning
of his lather's brother , Major John K. Blaine ,
at Hot Springs , Ark. Up to 1 o'clock ho had
kept the sad intelligence from his father ,
who was worried with other matters. A
delegation from the Irish republican club
was to have been received this forenoon , but
Mr. Kmnions Dlalne made other arrange
ments and the delegation will not call until
Saturday morning.

passed the upper house and without offering
nny amendments which the center had in
tended to proproso as necessary to make the

nent , 1 desire first to settle all unnecessary
internal disputes. "
Herr Kichter condemned the bill because ,
he said , the provisions regarding the right of
continuation and protest D.V the state in ec
clesiastical appointments would promote ser
vility. He protested ugainsttiio action of the
pope In interfering in the elections for mem
bership In the rolchstng.
Prince Disnuirck declared that Ilerr Rlch-
ter was more ot a Catholic than the pope and
added : "All national parties should endeavor
to meet the curia so far as It was compatible
with state rights. This Is feasible by adopt
ing the present bill as it has passed the obor-
ImtiR. Modifications will Increase the gov
ernment's arduous task , lu all phases ot the
kulterkauipf I acted in accordance with my
political convictions. The bill concedes
nothing that will endaneerstate'sauthority. "
Prince Bismarck then appealed tp the mem
bers of the national parties to not reject the
bill.

BOSTON , April 21 , Special Telegram to
the Dr.i : . ] N'ew storing arc continually
cropping out In regard to the life and adven-
.uies ol Dr. Andrew Jackson Grant , whose
Ino of business was to marry , or engajo to
marry , inkldle-azod women and then decamp
with their money and clothing. In March ,
ISofl , the doctor put a personal advertisement
n a Now York newspaper to the effect that
a wealthy gentleman desired the acquaint
ance of a lady with a view to matrimony ,
'money no object" The advertisement was
answered by Mary Stuulss , of New York ,
and Ann M. Dulgln , of Drooklyn. The
'doctor" then became a resident of Brooklyn
under the name of Dr. Prico. Letters from
.ho women were received on the same day ,
and the doctor called upon each as boon
as possible. In about three weeks
ho became engaged to the Bui-
gin woman and the wedding was
appointed for March 27. The expectant brldn
was In readiness , but the doctor had the
ceremony postponed because , as he said , "it
would bring 111 luck to have tlio ceremony
performed on a rainy dayllnd it was lixed
that U should take place on March ill. The
trunks containing the clothing of the pair
were sent away and the doctor loft Brooklyn
on the day which was to have been thu wed
ding day , taking not only n large quantity of
the lady's wearing apparel but SObU of her
money. To Mury Sturgiss , In New York ,
the doctor hastened , and she was only too
glad to welcome so wealthy and distin
guished a gentleman. It was the same old
story of the non-arrival of remittances , and
the trusting woman gave him money
to meet temporary demands. It was not
much , but It was tier all , and when the doctor
ascertained that there was nothing moro to
obtain from his credulous victim ho left her
to .seek moro dupes. The swindler Is still In
the Cambridge jail. Ho Is suffering from
the clfects of boine deprived of his daily
doses ot morphine , hut there is every reason
io believe that lie will recover in time for his
trial at the June term of court.
HE WANTS HIS CHILD.
A Wealthy CIovcliuul Man's Troubles
With n FultlilcHH Wife.
CHICAGO , April 21. [ Special Telegram to
the BII : : . [ Edo Claasscn , n wealthy resident
of Cleveland , O. , filed u prayer for writs' of
no exeat and habeas corpus in Judge Gar-
uett's court this morning. They read to the
effect that at the present moment his little
Julia Is detained
livo-ycar-old daughter being
ind deprived of her liberty by her mother ,
Julia Claasscn , in the Hotel Superior , of tills
city , under particularly painful circum
stances. Mr. Claassen says his wife deserted
him some weeks since , their little daughter
disappearing with her , and It was only a tow
days ago that ho succeeded In locating them
in Chicago. On the morning of April 20,18S7 ,
ho went to the Hotel Superior for the pur
pose of demanding possession of his daughter ,
but was denied access either to the child ot
her mother. The unhappy couple were mar
ried In Cleveland In November , 1872 , the
lady's maiden name being Dubbernelle.
They had three child ron born to them , two
of whom are boys , aged respectively thirteen
nnd eleven years , and reside with their
father. The petition alleges that lie has an
elegant home in Cleveland , and that he has
always supplied his wife with the comforts
and luxuries of life. About three years a.'o ,
the bills state , she formed the acquaintance
of ono Theodore Grabowsky , with whom she
became intimate and finally infatuated. In
April , IbSft , Mr. Claasscn , whose suspicions
had been aroused , declares that ho discovered
his wife had been accompanied by Grabowsky
on a trip which she made to New York at
that time , and that in' the following month
ot October she disappeared mysteriously tor
eight or nine days , nnd when she turned
up , could glvo no satisfactory explanation.
Last January Grabowsky left for Chicago ,
where , tte petitioner alleges , lie resides at
present. He was followed several weeks
after by Mrs. Claasscn , who , with her little
daughter , took up her abode at the hotel in
question. Hero , tlio complainant declares ,
she receives frequent visits from Grabowskv.
Claasscn says lie is Informed that his wife
and Grabowsky have mudo arrangements for
flight to Colorado and to take his child with
them. Ho therefore prays for a writ of ne
exeat , preventing their escape from the juris
diction ot the court and tlie production by
its mother in court of the little girl Julia
Claassen. The'pfayer of the petitioner was
granted in both instances , the writ of habeas
corpus being made returnabla foithwlth. '

to the history of crime. The wife of Juan

room the couple awoke. Before any alarm
could be given the three men were upon
Kamicr , and they plied their knives upon
him. The spouting blood deluged Ills wife
and she fainted. Twenty gaping wounds
wore indicted upon the husband before the
men turned their attention to thu wife. They
took some minutes to icstoro her to'con
sciousness , and when they had suceedod they
went deliberately about the completion of
their horrible plot. When they left the house
midnight was long past. The woman was
lu such a condition that she could not sum
mon help , and the discovery of the crime was
not made until morning. The three men lied
to the Interior of the conn try. but two of
them have been captured and the wuolo
country Is in pursuit of the third.
