A Loud -on cable soya In the extradition Pouts, at Bow street, yesterday, Maitlend Francis Mortand, described es a tutoe, aged of No, 23 $t. John street, Oxford, wes charged with attempting to obtain from Remy Jame, Lord Hothfield, the sum of .0) and ether moneys by falee pretence's. The court was crowded witb lords and lordlings and other representatives of the world of aristocracy, intermingled here and there with flash vetting men and a few loud -mouthed cockneys. Mr. Hoary Labouohere, M. P., the editor of Tweak was prominent among the crowd, He chatted an his usual vivacious manner with Lord Hothfield., the prosecutor. Also conspicuous among those eiresent in court was Earl Russell, a feature of the prooeedings being the alleged suit brought against him by " Ruth Morland," supposed to be identica.1 with the prisoner, who claimed to have loaned money to the earl, and who threat- ened to mut some lettere, said to be corn promising, to the earl's fiancee, and after hie marriage, to his wife, unless this money was paid. Earl Russell was the first witness. He was pale and nervous, and evidently ill at ease, but on entering the stand pulled him- self together and assumed a cool and jaunty demeanor. His manner remelted his previous appearance in the divorce suit brought against him by his wife. Earl Russell said that in 1888 he received a letter, similar to the one addressed to Lord Hothfield, and purportin,g to be from a young widow, who Informed His Lordship that he could call as often as he lilted. She asked for £50 as a loan. Earl Russell replied to this letter and after his marriage engagement, he re. ceived an unsigned letter saying that some gentleman had called upon "lath Mor- and offered ao for His Lordshipti 'tletter to Ruth Morland. The earl replied that he would be glad to receive the information that his letters had been destroyed as her's had been. Earl Russell afterwards received a letter declaring that if his letter meant an offer 'of £50 for the return of his correspondence the matter would be easily arranged; if not, it was intimated, his indiscretion in boast- ing of his amatory victories would be re- vealed. Afterwards he received another letter saying that Miss Scott (to whom he was afterwards married), should see the letters ; but he persisted in his refusal to be blackmailed. Finally "Ruth Morland" began writing anonymous letters to Miss _Scott, and Earl Russell received another letter saying that unless £50 was sent, the writer would confess to her husband that she had com- mitted adultery with Earl Russell. Mr. Lewis then asked : " Have:You ever committed adultery with Mrs. Morland?" Earl Russell -I have never even seen her. Mr. Clement Cheese, a lawyer, testified that the prisoner consulted him upon a suit which he intended to bring against Earl Russell for alienating his (Morland's) wife's .affections. Mr. Cheese e.omnaunicated with Earl Russell on this subject and then learned of Morland's blackmailing operations and dropped the case. Morland here intere rupted indignantly, denying this assertion. After farther testimony Morland was corm emitted for trial without bail, "AFFINITY LOVERS" ROBBED. !WILCO 41,914411. 4101 nne. Tellewers Too Progressive for Detroit. A Detroit despatoh. hays The reterie of the writ of habeas corpus against " Prince" 'Michael and his " Affinity Lovers," issued at the instance of Joseph T. Richardson, for possession of his child, was made before Judge Brevoort today. Prince Michael, with his long hair, and Mrs. Richardson, the respondent, were present. The room was packed with people, and atuong the crowd were a dozen of the ugliest " angels" imaginable. The case was adjourned until the afternoon. When the Prince and his followers started out of the court room and got in the cor- ridor the crowd swooped down on them and almost carried them bodily out of the City Hall. Shouts of derision were raised and cries of "Throw them in the river!" "Give the Prince a cold bath I" went up. The crowd chased the party around the streets for half an hour. When the hooting crowd reached Congress street a man was seen running in the middle of the road with a grin ha his hand and a dog at his heels. The man threatened to shoot the "Prince," but was dissuaded. The persecuted fanatics finally found refuge in the office of their lawyers, but even then the crowd kept up a hooting for a con. siderable time. . OLD AND JEALOUS. A Toeing Han. Disfigured by Vitriol Thrown by His Paramour. An Akron, 0., despatch says : Four years ago Wm. Belke, aged 19, yielded to the smiles of Mrs. Catharine Merkle, aged 60, who seemed to be perfectly infatuated with him, left the home of his parents for her home, and there the two lived as husband arid wife. This continued titbit six weeks ago, when the Woman's insane jealousy be- came more than the boy could stand, and he left her. She vowed vengeance. Belke works at nights ab the factory of the Diamond Match Company, He started for horae swath ot the city at 4 o'clock yes- terday morning. Ile was about entering his yard when a woman, whom he recog- nized as Mrs. Merkle, sprang from a corner of the fence, and, with the words "I've got you now; take that," threw a bottle of vitriol in his face. Crazed with pain, the young man finally succeeded in getting into the house. He -presented a pitiable spectacle. His left eye was entirely gone, and almoet the entire left side of his face had bean eaten away, the 'burns extending to his shoulder. The woman escaped. Religious Strada in eitio. A Springfield, 0., despatch says : Tay- loreille, a small place in Central Ohio, is the scene of the most remarkable religious revivals of the season, Services last almost -continuously from morning till 10 or 12 delocle at night.

A SURPRISE FOR Salisbury i)eolinos to Ren,evr the Wroalls Vivendi This Tear. 110 YANKEB UAL MONOPOLY, A Washinp,toa despatch says: The news iron London to the effect that Lord Salis- bury had declined te renew the modes viemdi now in operatiou anent the Behriug Sea fishery between Great 13ritain aid the United States, and which expires. My 1st, caused °meliorable surprise at the Capitol today, especially among the members of the Committees of both Houses of Foreign Relations. While it is not openly asserted nor charged, yet it is privately stated that Lord Salisbury was actuated in his motives in refusing to renew the modus vitendi clearly in a spirit of re- taliation on account of the United States Supreme Ceurt's decision in the Sayward, case, the sebstance of whieh has already been published. It is said the notion of Lord Salisbury may lead to serious resulte. The proposal in lieu of the modus vivendi to establish a closed zone of thirty miles, in the opinion of the American agents and State Department officials, is totally inade- quate, and ueless eetilizig other than that allowed under the modus vivendi can be prevented in Behring Sea entirely until the question has been settled by the arbiters, it will be impossible to stop illegal sealing within the prescribed limits of Lord Salis- bury's proposal. Every seizure would be resisted on the ground that the vessels were outside of the prohibited territory and end- less litigation ensue. A more conservative view of the action of Lord Salisbury may be found in the fact that the disagreements of the Behring Sea agents of the two countries as to the means to be employed to preserve the seal fisheries may have caused him to think that a renewal of the modus vivendi would be too much of a concession to the claime of the United States. President garrison will return from his trip to -morrow. What action he will take In the matter of course cannot be stated. It is said, however, that the claims of jurisdic- tion over the Behring Sea by the United States have never been relinquished, and the President may determine to enforce them as against illegal sealers whether of this country or Canada. The attempt to carry out this policy would doubtless be resisted by Great Britain if for no other reason than that she has never acknowledged th.e rightfulness of the claims of the United States Government. It is hoped, however, that more peaceful means will be found of settling this vexed question than that of re. sorting:to extreme or unfriendly action. The joint commission on the Behring Sea seal fisheries held its final session at the State Department this afternoon. After signing a joint report embodying a state. meat of facts as to all points connoted with the sealing industry on which there is no dispute, the commission adjourned sine die. The sealing fleet has already begun opera- tions in the vicinity of the Columbia River, and the Treasury Department is consider- ing the advisability of d.esps.tchinia revenue cutter there to see that no sealing is done within three miles of the United States ter- ritory. WOREAND THIS FAIR. The Part British Ladles Will Take in the Chicago Fair. A London cable says: At a meeting yesterday of the Woman's Committee on the Chicago Fair the Countess of Aberdeen was appomted te have oharge ef the worts for 'relate!, and Lady Reay for Scotland. The Baroness Burdett Coutts was very aptly designated to present the achievements of philanthropy. Mrs. Fawcett, the able writer on political economy, was given charge of the subjecb of education, and her 18 -year-old daughter Phillippa, who made herself famous by taking the honor of senior wrangler at Cambridge, was dele- gated to deliver a lecture at Chicago on "Women's Education in England." Mrs. Fenwick is to have charge of the exhibit illustrating hospital nursing. She will probably take to Chicago a number nurses selected from the staffs of the leading London hospitals. Mrs. Roberts -Austin will have direction of the Department of Women's Art. It is pro- posed to have papers contributed by repre- sentative Englishwomen. Some of those already arranged for are by Miss Octavio. Hill, on "The Dwellings of the Poor and Domestic Economy," and by IVIrs. Fawcett and Mrs. Priestly on "Various Branches of of Hygiene" These will be read in the lecture hall and used to illustrate the exhi- bits in those respects. The Queen has promised the committee to send some specimens of her own work in epinning, knitting, etc., done when she was a girl; also some of her own embroidering and fine sewing. She will also contribute some water -colors executed with her brush. The Princess Louise sends some modelling in clay, also a few finished marbles. Prin- cess Beatrice offers some paintings, Princess Christian some embroidery, etc. A WOLIAN IN IT, Serhms Shoottaig case Over a colored Ian's White Wife. A Detroit despatch says: David Howard, colored, cook at Roos' restaurant, was shot at his home, Mullett street, this morning at 3.30, by Philip Ray, also colored. The shooting was the result of a quarrel several days ago between the two men over Howard's white wife, sometimes known as Annie Green. It appears Ray got the worst of the fighb, and declared he would "get even." The police are still looking for Ray, but at last accounts have been unable tofind him. It is presumed he has skipped to Windier, where he lived prior to hie coming to this side, with his brother James, two weeks ago. Howerd ale° claims Windeor as his home. He ceme to this city with the Rays and his wife. It is said tbat the Rays are wanted by the Windsor police. Howard is at the hospital. He will probably re- cover. Made the Punishment Fit the Crime.

A man named Hageman in Slade, a small village in the Province a Hanever, Was convicted of a charge of murder and Was sentenced to be put to (teeth by the pill°. tine. To -day was the date set for the execution, and all the peeparations being completed bhe condemned man was led forth to the place where the guillotine was erected. Ile was secnrely bound and the executioner placed him in the usual positioa on the hoard beneath the Weary iron blade. When oil was in readineee -the knife was released and fell on the neck of the prostrate criminal, To the horror of the Spectators, however, the knife failed to sever the head from the trunk, and the result of this was to leave the neck of the murderer in a terribly inutie lated eenclition. The awfulness of the scene was increased when the executioner raised the knife of the guillotine and made a horrible attempt to wrench off the head of the unfortunate man with his hands, while the blood gushed in torrents from the gaping wounds. The executioner con- tinued at his gory task for some time, but in spite of all his tugging and twisting at the victim's half -severed head he fallen to tear it off, and lie again placed the body itt itS position under the guillotine and tried a second time to behead the man by means of tlae knife. Again did the glittering blade descend on thequivering neck of the poor wretch, and again did it fail to successfully perform its deadly work, and only left the remains in a more mutilated condition than before. The executioner then decided to abandon this means of decapitating the man and tried another method to finish his ghastly week. He procured a sharp knife and began hack- ing and slashing at the back of the victim's neck, at the same time fastening his fingers in the man's bloodemaked hair and pulling the head with much force. Ab length after chopping through most ofthe fleshwhichstill held the head to the body, the executioner succeeded in tearing the head away and the frightful scene was at an end. US HOTIIER.IN.LAW' HONEY. Dr.Scudder Accused of Committing Murder to Get It. A Chicago despatch says: It is an ugly thing to say of a man who occupies a geed social position that he murdered his mother. in-law for her money, and yet this is what Mr. F. H. Dunton, an aged and wealthy gentleman, who lives at 22 Aldine square, accuses Dr. H. M. Scudder of having done. Scudder married an adopted daughter of Dunton'whose feeble wife has a large for- tune in her own right, which up to a few days before the time of her death she had purposed leaving to some bleed relatives, but which, at the last moment, as she lay in bed but half conscious of what she was doing, as her husband alleges, she was in- duced to sign over to Scudder's wife. On February 21st another physicia-n was hastily called to her bedside, and found her expiring with ominous wounds in her head, produced by a fall from a chair as she was sittimg up one day. So Scudder says. As Scudde was the last raan said to have spoken with her, and as he could not satisfactorily account for the wounds, suspicion fell on him, and so a warrant was sworn out for his arrest by Mr. Dunton yesterday, and '!isis he teill he le being guarded at his home by policemen, " Sendai' Wet alone with her previous to her death," says the old gentleman in justi- fication of his course. "Two wounds were on her head that were not there before he came, nor was his explanation of the way in which they were caused satisfactory to me. More than this, she had lately altered her will in favor of his wife. Putting things together, I am convinced that the man murdered my wife to gain her money." The body of Mrs. Dunton was buried in Janesville, Wis. To -day it was exhumed, and two physicians are making a minute examination of the skull and other parts which were lacerated in so strange %fashion. Dr. Scudder is a son of the eminent Rev. Dr. Scudder. The latter and his wife ap- peared before Judge Scoles to -day, in the County Court, and applied to have their son committed to the Detention Hospital for examination as to his sanity. Mr. Dunton is proprietor of a horse paper, the Spirit of the Times. RE WOULD DROWN ER. Nat Goodwin's Wife's Startling Revela- tions, A New York despatch says: Actor Nat C. Goodwin is now accused of extrerne cruelty by hie wife, Nella R. Goodwin, who has been seeking a separation on the sole ground of abandonment. She accuses hira of coming home drunk, dragging her from bed and choking her, of continually gamb- ling and ventinghis anger for losses by striking her stunning blows, and going on prolonged sprees, of beating her at the Leland Hotel, Chicago, and of frightening her into a nearly fatal illness by pretending to throw himself from the upper story window. She declares that he came into her bath- room at Anaconda, Mont., crazed with drink, and shouted : "Now I have got you where I want you. I am eoing to drown you. All your jewels are gone. I gambled them away. I have been gambling all night and havelost every- thing. He then turned on the water'she says, although the bath was nearly full, and be held her head under. By a desperate effort she released herself. He then struck her some terrible blows and threw her with such force across the bed in the ad- joining room that she thought her back was broken. Goodwin denies the accusations, says his wife has been addicted to drink since Octo- ber, 1888, threw her jewels at him in drunken anger, locked him in his room at theatre time and attacked him at timeswith her nails. Almoat Asphyxiated. A Woodetock despatch says: J. E. Goldner, who recently came here from London and epened a cigar and tobacco store, had A close cell ]ab night from being asphyxiated.

THE CAPP= WAS PIPAIPED. A Slade' Petilid Panelle Pilled With Jayne - Mite 'Presented Se a faturch. A Madrid cable Bays despateh from Sala Sebestian states that a lady presented to one of the churches there a 'huge Dandle Weighing 60 pounds, to be burned during Lent, It was explained that the caudle was intended to furnish light througheut the Lenten period. The gift was suitably acknowledged in the presence of an immense congregation, and the sacristan proceeded to light the candle, but there seemed. to be some fault ha the construction, as the wiek failed to remain alight. After three futile attempts had been made the officiating priest, beemaing suspioious that something was wrong, ordered that the candle be removed and examizied. This being done, the startling discovery was made that the interior of the candle was filled with powerful explosives. Had the sacristan succeeded in making it burn a terrible explosion must have resulted, with con- sequences awful to contemplate, in view of the crowded condition of the church. The lady who gave the candle had disappeared before the deadly character of the gift was discovered. It is conjected that she was an agent of the Anarchists, their object being to destroy the building. It is thought possible that they believed the explosion would not occur until after the throng of worshippers had left the building, but there is a feeling of intense indignation among the people, and it will go hard with anyone upon whom suspicion falls as the author of the vile plot. The police have discovered a regular An- archist organization in Barcelona, and have seized a large amount of Annrohistio litera- ture that has been privately printed in various languages. The leaders, who are mostly intelligent and edueeted foreigners of determined character, have been arrested. THE CAPTAIN WAS CRAZY. He Suspected Mutiny, Locked IThasen In and Attempted Suicide. A London oable says: .The British ship Regent, Capt. Treatwell, which sailed from Calcutta November 30th for New York, arrived at St. Helena. on February 7th, and reported to the authorities that some time before Capt. Treatwell had locked himself in his cabin and discharged several shots from a revolver. The mate took charge of the ship and rap for St. Helena, and upon arrival there gave the reporb mentioned. The officials who boarded the ship broke in the door of the captain's cabin and found him lying insensible. An examination revealed the fact that he had four wounds in his body and head. Medical assistance was summoned, and the captain afterward regained consciousness. He stated that the crew of the Regent, headed by the chief mate, had mutinied and threatened to kill him. He believed it was their intention to fire the ship and then abandon her, leaving it with him on board to perish. Seeing them'as he supposed, setting fire to the vessel, he went into his cabin, locked the door, and then tried to blow his brains out, preferring to meet death in that manner than to be burned with the ship. The captain's story was not believed, and an examination was made as to his sanity. The physiciaris decided he was insane, and that he should be sent to his home in England in care of a doctor. He and his medical attendant sailed on the steamer Dunbar Castle and arrived here yesterday. The doctor extracted the bul- lets in the captain's head and body on the voyage. The Regent has been detained at St. Helena. WISE IN HIS DAT. 1Flying Roll "Prince " Michael Is Discreetly " Moved by the Searle. A Detroit despatch says : Prince Michael has secured a building permit to erect a four thousand dollar hall on Hamlin avenue, and work on it will shortly be begun. Mary Armstrong and her sister, of Toronto, were among Prince Michael's followers, and the sister was one of the eight women who accompanied the Prince to England. Upon her return to this country she packed up her effects and re- turned to her home in Toronto, but Mary Armstrong remained with the Israelites. A week ago Prince Michael was notified to send her home, and when she did not arrive her brother, John Armstrong, came here with two officers, called upon Prince Michael, and asked for the woman. The Prince informed them that on the previous day the Spirit had moved him, and that he obeyed the Lord's command and sent her home. A telegram from Toronto a few hours later announced her arrival. The woman's friends would have instituted pro- ceedings against Michael had she not been released. A. BAD GANG. Marital Infelicity is Followedby Attenipted Murder. A Philadelphia despatch says: Early this morning ex -Policeman Thome E. Mason, of Philadelphia, who has been separated from his wife and 5-yeanold child, discovered the mother and daughter in a house at 525 Race street in bed with another woman and two men. He shot the woman three times and then cut her throat with a razor. One of the men who was in bed with the woman jumped out and threw an oil lamp at Mason, setting fire to the bed. In attempting to save his child, who had been plied with liquor by its mother and was in a stupor, Mason was badly burned about the hands and face. Mason subsequently surrendered to the police. The woman was removed to the hospital. Her injuries are not neces- sarily fatal. AN INDIANA RIOT In Which Knives Are Used With Deadly Effect. An Evansville, Lid., despatch says : Newtonville, Spencer county, is all excite- ment over it riot and cubting affray which took place het night. A quarrel, which began some days ago, between a young man named Joseph Sherrill and one of a party drinking itt a saloon, was renewed, and the men finally came to Mows and eventually knives were drawn. All took a hand, and an encounter ensued in which ohairs, table, and clubs took a prominene part.

The fight was for a purse of $10,000, the L. loser to get $1,000. The gathering packed the hall in every cor- ner. There were eporting men from Eng- land, Ireland, and from every corner of the United States. Chicago and New York, be- tween them, had fully 500 delegates. New Orleans supplied its leading merchants and professional men and that the sports were there goes without eaying, There were other events; besides the big one. A New 0rloau:s despatch gives the following ac- count Charley Mitchell and Arthur Upham were the first to enter the ring at 8,20. Upham looked like a ghost in his corner as Mitchell sat eyeing him closely. At 8.30 the inert stepped to the centre of the ring. Mitchell made a show of Upham in the first round, his superiority being quite apparent. Up- ham was very weak as he came up for the second round. Mitchell's cleverness was much applauded, and he astonished some of the spectators. The third round was finished all in Mitchell's favor and the Eng- lishman was applauded. The fourth round was abandoned and Mitchell declared the viotor. Then Slavin and Valenquin came on and gestured four rounds, Slavin having the best of it. s Fitzsimmons and Maher entered the ring at exactly 9 o'clock, Mailer fleet, dressed in black trousers, with black stockings and black fighting shoes.
