Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20. Miss Leono
ra Dean haj Bucceeded in breaking a sale
of property made by her mother, a
widow, to her lover, under circnm
necnliar interest. Mrs. Lola
Marshall Dean, the mother of the young
woman, was a woman of great beaut
and decided literarv ability. When ber
husband died, he left her a fortune
$150,000. For several winters she passed
hir limn at a Florida resort, where she
made the acquaintance of.' S. M. Pink
ham, a well-know hotel-keeper and lo
cal politician, with whom she became
deeperatlv.enamored. Pinkham appears
to have been likewise smitten, but when
he pressed his euit he was met with the
objection that the . lady had made
h-r ilpad husband that she
f
would never niarrv again. She decided
however, that their love could be of
platonic kind. This wa8 notquite warm
enough for Pinkham, who thereupon be-
ean paying his respects to another lady
in a neighboring town.- When Mrs
Dean heard of this she was terribly agi
tated, and sending for her lover prom
ised tliat if he would not visit her rival
for a space of 18 months she would deed
him her property.
The lover was more practical than sen
timental, arid quickly accepted the prop
osition, and the lady made out formal
deeds and reciting a nominal sum as
the consideration, put him in possession
- of bar-, eatte.SrSbortly jaJrwardehe
died, "and her minor ; daughter brought

There was considerable latitude in the
discussion of the case, it being claimed
that an undelivered love like Pinkham's
was not sufficient collateral for so much
property. : The jury look this view of
tne case, and returned a verdict declar
ing the deeds to be void, and restoring
the property to the young girl, who has
fought so hard for it.

Frank Arbuckle's Death Is Still Unac-
'cunnted For.
New Yobk.Nov. 20 The general of
fice detectives today made three addi
tional arrests in connection with the
death of Frank P. Arbuckle, ot Denver.
The prisoners are George Stevens, a
saloon-keeper; Joseph Davidson, a sten
ographer; and Frederick Menger, a bar
tender. Tte investigations of the de
tectives have disclosed the fact that on
Wednesday evening Arbuckle was in
Lnchow's saloon, on Fourteenth street
and Irving, in company with the three
men named. On Davidson one of Ar
bnckle's cards was found. Davidson
said they had arranged a meeting for
today.
Tbe three prisoners admitted having
seen Arbuckle at Luch low's saloon Wed
nesday night. They denied, however,
having gone nplown with him. Menger
said Stevens was trying to get Arbuckle
to go Harlem with him "to go against a
brace gambling game." They did not
know whether Stevens succeeded. The
three pilioners weie arraigned in Har
lem court today.
Butler, tbe negro, arrested last night,
waereleased today, there being no evi
dence to connect him with the alleged
murder or robbery.
Detectives are said to be looking for a
man known as "Sheeny Sam," who
bears an unsavory reputation and whose
haunts are in East Fourteenth street.
The detectives have learned that this
person was in the crowd accompanying
Arbnckle while he was in Luch low 'a sa
loon. It is alleged that after they left
the saloon and stood on the sidewalk
outside "Sheeny Sam" and Menger got
into an altercation. It was about this
time, it is alleged, that the "brace game"
uptown was suggested. ' "Sheeny Sam"
is believed to have quarreled with Men
ger, thinking he was to be cheated out
of bis share of Arbnckle's money, Men
ger is said to have left the party after
the row.
: Richard Arbuckle, of . Erie, Pa., a
brother of the dead man, reached the

ist, is making a microscopical analysis of

The information is given by a commer-

on the officers of the company. He was
told by the officers the order would be
closed today, and that the government
was contracting for the-rifles on account
of a possible war with Spain. - It is

Beau Brummell, after having been the
friend of the prince regent, died in
poverty, a friendless imbecile. Born in
1778, George Bryan Brummell was edu
cated .at Eton, where he made a name
for social aplomb, readiness of repartee
and fastidious neatness in dress. He
went to the Oriel college, Oxford, for a
years. He was presented with a coronet-
cy by the prince of Wales in the Tenth
Hussars, and for some years enjoyed
the friendship of the prince, who was
afterward George IV. At last they
quarreled but "Beau" Brummell held
his own in society until gambling losses
made him flee the country. In 1830 he
was appointed British consul at Caen.
Ifis creditors closed round him, and in
May, 1S35, he was cast into prison. His
6pirit seemed to have been broken, and
in 1337 he showed s-igns of imbecility,

Plan of Consul-General Lm to Secure
Peaee on the Island.
Washington, Nov. 21. Appreciating
that the return of General Weyler from
tbe present campaign without making
any headway against Maceo's forces will
greatly aggravate the already critical
sitnation in Cuba, officials and diplomats
in Washington have been earnestly dis
cussing for some days various plana' for
relieving ine situation. The question of
a Spanish-Cuban armistic has been
widely discussed. If the conditions will
admit of this there is every reason to be
lieve that the administration will exer
cise its good offices to bring about an ar
mistice in the event that affairs become
more critical because of an unsuccessful
campaign against Maceo.
It is understood that one force . of a
peaceful intervention which ConBul-Gen-
eral Lee has proposed to the authorities
here contemplates the use of the good
offices of the United States to bring
about a modus vivendi for a sufficient
time to enable negotiations to be con
ducted for securing the independence of
Cuba by purchase, the United States
guaranteeing the payment of the debt.
General Lee has not advised ' the im
mediate adoption of this plan, believing t

Edison to Try His Experiment on Ml!.
llonaire Roass.
New Yokk, Nov. 21. -Charles Brad-
way Roass is arranging with Mr. Edison
for treatment with Roentgen raye in the
hope that his Bight may be restored.
Since the electrician began his experi
ments in applying "X" rays for the re
storation of sight no one has taken more
interest in. the subject than the million-
are merchant, who, for more than two
years, has been practically blind.
''That is a single ray upon which to
base my hope," said Mr., Rouss. "I
have tried every occulist and every treat
ment that promised relief, " and offered
$1,000,000 for a cure, but it-has all been
of no avail. If there is power in this
man called tbe "Wizard" to relieve me
I want to know it."
John P. Martin has for some time
acted as Rouss' proxy, hoping for a re
storation of his own sight, and haa sub
mitted to all kinds of treatment, but
withont favorable results. Now be is to
be a subject of the rays. Before Martin
becomes the subject of experiment, Edi
son wishes to investigate, further and
olve preliminary problems. When this
has been done, a most elaborate and
carefully prepared line of treatment will
be entered upon with Mr. Martin as

Lane was then nine years old. A few
years later he was sent to school at Stam

After the expiration of his term, he

an Alabama girl, with whom be lived
happily, and whom survives him. In
1875 he was elected as a democrat to
