NEXT-OF-KIN FRAUDS.
Beware a Big Stories of Money Awaiting
Heirs to Claim It.
A London cable says: Notwithstanding
repeated warnings that have been sent out
from time to time by the United States
Legation here and by the press of America
concerning the fraudulent oharcoter of so-
called English estate agents in America,
-recent developments show the number of
-dupes is increasing Daring the past few
weeks more letters than ever before have
been reoeived from America, inquiring
after imaginary estates of fabulous rums
awaiting the writers in the Bank of Eng-
land. In the case of many estates, such as
the Jenningo-Lawrenoe, Townley, or Chase -
Townley, Hyde•Herne, Bradford -Hedges
and others, special circulars have had to
be printed to answer the numerous appli-
cants. The fraudulent agents insert
advertisements in newspapers regarding
alleged estates and collect fees for pre.
tended eettrohes, eta, from the parties
who are persnadea that they are heirs.
The dupes often pay money to these agents
for several successive years. During Mr.
Lincoln's term as Minister here nearly all
the letters have come from email country
towns. Texas, Kansas, Iowa and the Far
West seem to be especially productive.
Among the letters recently received at the
Legation sae communicationfrom claim-
ants to some thirty-five estates. Of all
the drama iuvestigated by the English
aolicitors, not one has been found to have
any validity. In any case the Legation
bore is powerless to help claimants or even
investigate these. oases. A statute et limi-
tation fixes a per iwitbin which no.
claimed estates revs to the Crown, and
this period is twenty years. The limit
within which action can be brought for the
TeeeVery of real property is tWs170 :Tars.
There are no large sums of money awaiting
claimants in the Bank of Ergland. There
are very few amounts of a1,000 and none
exoeeding that sum by more thou £100 or
£200. The amount of money in Chancery
belonging to unknown heirs is altogether
less than £1,000,000.
DECOYED TO RUIN.
The Victim of a Procnress Escapes and
Prefers a Charge Against Her.
A New York despatch says : Frankie
Belleau, a pretty 20-year.old girl who says
ahe belongs in Troy, was in the Jefferson
Market Police Court yesterday, in the role
cif complainant againet Madame May
"Leroy, who keeps a house of ill.fame on

that Madame Leroy met her in Troy some
weeks ago, and by promises of fine clothes
and easy lire induced her to come to New
York. When the Madame got her in the
house on Fortieth street she took away all
her olothee and only allowed her to have a
low-neckod dress to wear about the house.
All the money tbe girl got the Madame
took away from her alto. The girl grew
desperate over her eituation, and on
Wednesday she ran away from the house
clad only in her wrap and slinpera and
went to the police citation and made a
complaint againet the woman of keeping
a diaorderly house. Jostles McMahon,
before whom the case was brought, ad-
journed the hearing until Saturday at the
request of Madame Leroy's counsel. The
judge released the Madame in charge of
lier counsel, and ordered the girl locked up
in the House of Detention.

CHANGED HIS COLOR.
Death of a Young Mom From Addlsou's
Disease of the Kidneys.
A San Francisco despatch says : George
L. Sturtevant, a young man, has just
succumbed to Addison's disease, his ekin
becoming as black AB a negro's. Three years
ago, when the disease first manifested
itself, Sturtevant's clear skin was his obief
claim to beauty. At the time of death his
bcdy was perfectly bleak. The first indi-
cation of the disease was the appearance
on the tongue of a block pigment formation
of the size of a pea. Two months after-
ward his skin assumed the saffron hue of
jaundice. A diagnosis by exports finally
established the fact that he had Addison's
disease. In the second year his elfin
changed to a bronze tint, and in the third
year, from the cheot down, he was a dead
black. His tongue was also black. He
hs.d no pain, and amused himself by read-
ing end playing the piano, but complained
of great languor. His case had one pecu-
liarity never before observed. The majority
of potienta die in the second year, but all
who have heretofore passed this stop
became insane in the third year. Sturte.
vent lived the full limit of thee years, but
showed no signs of insanity. The dieease
is due to tbe decomposition of the outer
coating of the kidneye.

Displaced Yesterday.
A Chicago deepateh says: This morning
every union switohnian in the employ of
the North-Western Railroad, not only in
Chicago, but at every other point, was
discharged. Thai was done in carrying out
the companyai resolve not to allow the
switchmen to interfere with the affairs of
the road, arta diota,te as to the discharge of
yardmautera, etc. For months the com-
pany has been preparing for the battle,
and has been hiring non-union switchmen
all over the country. So quietly has it
been doing this work that the union switch-
men did not get any inkling until the very
last moment of what was going cu. As
soon as the local force was discharged, 200
new men were ready to take their places
at the attaches. The new -comers were
for the most part experienced, and under
the supervision of the various division
superintendente had no trouble in doing
the work. The North-Western offieials are
confident of victory, while the discharged
men are somewhat dazed at the turn
affairs have taken, and have not yet
determined upon their policy.

which drove towards the quay on the
Danube, where the rept" yacht was moored.
The news that the ex Queen was really to
be expelled from Servia bad in the mean-
time spread throughout Belgrade, and Ind
reached the studentid quarters. The
students promptly turnea out in force, and
the carriage containing the exManeen was
soon eurrounded by students, who eeized
the heroes' heads, brouglst the vehicle
to a etandstill, and lonaly caeorea
the royal prisoner. Me students
then detached the horses from the
oarriage and drew the ex Queen, who
remained seated in it, back to her resi•
deuce, cheering loudly as they passed
through the streets. The prefect, assisted
by gendarmes, tried to regain posaesaion
of the ea.Queen. Several collisions took
place between the gendormea and the
stridents, bnt the latter came off victorious.
Aware pi the strong sympathy felt for
Natalie by the opposition party in the
Skuptschina and by the public in general,
the Government hall the staccato in the
vicinity of Natelle'e residence cordoned

others. The Premier this evening received
a deputation of citizens, wbo asked him to

General Booth eadeavored to bring to the
President's fevorable attention was the
reclamation of tho drunkards of Switzer -
band and the reformation of the criminal
classes by means of a plan similar to that
he advocates in England. M. Rachonnott

TEN MEN INSTANTLY KILLED.
A Tarrytown, N. T., despatch Bap : At
11 Moloch' this morning every building in
Tarrytown was ebalien to its foundation.
Windows were broken, fences thrown down
mid the ground trembied so that people ran
out of their houses, their whitened facies
betokening great fear. The villagers have
been acouetomed to hear the heavy blade
in the third track improvement on the the
Hodson River Railroad at Holmes Point, a
naile (loath of the etation, but this shook so
far surpassed any of its predeceesore that
the people wore at a loss how to account
for ie. Looking towards HolunsPoint great
donde of smoke could be seen ascending,
and those who stood at Tarrytown depot
heard agoniziug ehrieke and yells, all of
which told of a fearful calamity.
It was no longer a matter of conjecture—
an awful explosion had occurred. Loco-
motive No. 345 WaS coming north on the
up track near Holmes Point, drawing a
platform oar with twenty-four Oases of &tam
powder (500 pounde ) on it, and the train
was moving quite foot. On the front part
of the car wue some rope iu a coil. A spark
front the ermine etruck the rope and it
ignited. On'the oar with the powder were
twenty or thirty Italian train hands. A0'
soon ae the rope began to blaze up two or
three of the men on the car jumped, one of
tttena striking headlong on the rail rind was
killed. Befoee the others could alight the
fire reached the powder, and there was an
instantaneous and appalling exploaion. By
*hi 9 time the train hall nearly reached a
large nanther of workraen on the third
track improvement. The result of the ex-
plosiou was terrible. Every part of the
oar was wiped out of existenee, and the
men on the car were hurled in every
direction, ton being killed outright. Several
were blown into the river, and their bodies
are yet to be recovered. Both tracks were
destroyed, telegraph lines were demolished,
great holes were torn into the earth, work
cars on the eide track were blown away,

to Tarrytown. The dead were taken to
Vaxiderbiltes andertaking establishment,
send the wounded were laid on the floor in
the passenger station, whore Drs, Furman
and Linsan, of Tarrytown, end several
doctors from Yonkers looked after their
immediate wants. They were all Italian's
and known only by their numbers. The
leg of one of them had to be amputated,
one had an arm taken off, °there were
fearfully cut about the head and the
face. In two instances the clothes
were nearly stripped from the victims.
While the doctors were at work the doors
of the station Were kept looked. Hun.
cireds of people eurrounded the depot
and tried to peer through the windows,
but were driven back by the police and
railroad people by orders of the dociore. In
the middle of the afternoob two special
tr sins were brought io the etation, end the
six injured men were put in a car and taken

stopped the train as quickly as possible and
ran back to pull the pin connectiag bi\
engine with the am, hnowitg the danger.
While he WAS pulling the pin the explosion •
ocourred, and that wile all he could tell.
He thought the coil of rope took fire from

At the Virginia Baptists' State convention,

to. day Rev. Dr. McVickers, late of Toronto,
Canada, in urging the raising of a5,000 for
two colored seminaries, drew a gloomy
piotnre of the oolorea people of the South,
assertirg they were woree off now in many
sections than they were 35 years ago He
then spoke of what the American Baptist
Home Miesionaey Society designed to do
for the people of the State. Rev. J. M.
Armistead, colored, of Petersburg, said:
"I am opposed to any more ouch help
from the North. I would say to the Homo
Mission Board of New York, put your
money somewhere else, and let as help our-
selves. If we are ever to stand alone, now
is the time to do so, but as long ea our
Northern brethren rock the cradle for us
we will be chilt3ren, and forty years hence)
we than be as dependent on Northern help
as now." Thin speech created it stir and
provoked a long and heated discussion.
