Atlanta, G., Nov. 20. Aliss Leono
ra Dean ban succeeded in breaking a sale
of property made by her mother, a
widow, to her lover, under circum
stances of peculiar . interest. Mrs. Lola
Marshall Dean, the mother of the young
woman, was a woman of great beauty
and decided literary ability. When her
husband died, he left her a fortune of
$150,000. For several winters she passed
her time 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
desperatly enamored. Pinkbam appeirra
to have been likewise smitten, but when
be pressed his suit he was met with the
objection that the lady had made a
promise to her dead husband-that she
would never marry again. She decidej,
however, that their love coSild be of a
platonic kind. This was notquite warm
enough for Pinkham, who thereupon be
gan paying bis respects to another lady
in a neighboring town. When Mrs.
Dean heard of this she wa9 terribly agi
tated, and sending for her lover prom
ised tnat 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, and 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 her estate. Shortly afterward she
died, and her minor daughter brought
suit for the recovery of the property.
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 took this view-of
the case, and returned a verdict declar
ing the deeds to be void, and restoring
' the property to the young girl, who tias
fought so hard for it.

Frank Arbackle'i Death In Still Unac
. coasted For.
New Yoke, 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 Meager, a bar
tender. Ttie investigations-of the de
tectives have disclosed the fact that on
Wednesday evening' Arbuckle was in
Luchow's saloon, on Fourteenth street
and Irving, in company with the three
men named. On Davidson one of Ar
bockle's cards was found. Davidson
said they had arranged a meeting for
today.
m The three prisoners admitted having
seen Arbuckle at Luchlow's saloon Wed
nesday night. sTbey denied, however,
having gone uptown 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 pi Isoners were arraigned in Har
lem court today, i . ,.
.Butler, the negtp, arrested last night,
wae released 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
Arbuckle while he was in Luchlow's sa
loon. It is alleged that" after they left
the saloon and stood n 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 be was to. be cheated but
of his share of A r buckle'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
city today. Professor Witthaus, a chem
ist, is making a microscopical analysis of
the stomach of the dead man.
Menger has made the following state
ment: - , .
I, in company with Joseph Davidson
and George Stevens, both of whom came
from Bentley, Kan., met Arbuckle at
Lnchow,s' saloon, on Fourteenth street.
They wauted to 8 tear him up against a
"brace game" and get bis money. I had
nothing to do with this, and left the
three men in Miner's theater. That's
all I know about the cage, anyhow."
Gddb for Uncle Sam's Soldier.
. New Havkx, Conn., Nov.20. It is re
ported that partial orders have been
placed by the United States government
with the Winchester Arms Company of
this city for 100,000 guns of the Lee pat
tern. The information is given by a commer
cial agent who made a business call up
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 possibe war with Spain. It is
known the works will soon start up to
their full capacity on-a btg government
order.
. Nearly a year ago the Winchesters re
ceived an order for 100,000 of them,
which is now nearly, if not quite, filled.
At the time it was received the company
had no tools for making this particular
firearm, and had to manufacture them.
This preparation delayed the work for
several months; It is believed it will
no require only a few weeks to get out
the 100,000 rifles.

Troopa Sttll Intrenched In Their Moun
tain Fastnesses.
Key Wist, Fla. Nov, 20. Reports by
steamer from Havana are disaptioli.ting
to the Spaniards in the results expected
of General Weyler's operations in Piuar
del Rio. Maceo is ' entrenched in tt e
Cierreras del lae Organad in - the. center
of his mountain fastnesses, awaiting the
attack. ' The rumors of his having
crossed the tfocha are without founda
tion.
General Weyler, according to Havana
reports, Is expected back in the city
within a few days. The excuse givi-n
for his return is that the roads are not
in condition for active operations, on ac
count of the recent . heavy rains render
ing the movement of troops impractica
ble. The impression already prevails in
military circles in Havana that General
Weyler's campaign has been a complete
failure and his carefully prepared plans
to drive Maceo out of Pinar del Rio have
received a severe set-back.
With the exception of a few unimport
ant skirmishes with the advance guards
of the insurgent leader and the capture
of the rebel captain, Valdez, with, eight
followers, nothing of great consequence
has been accomplished, although the
Spaniards have lost several prominent
generals aud many men killed or
wounded.
An apparently well-authenticated re
port which it was said emanated from a
high military official in Havana, says
ttie city of Puerto Principe has been be-
sieged by insurgents.
What Venezuela Wants.
Caracas, Nov. 20. It is stated on
competent authority . that . Venezuela
will be glad to accept the 50-year clause,
provided the question ends there. ome
think that toe proximity of the British
is liable to cause further trouble, making
an excuse for further invasion, and they
suggest a tribunal be established to pass
upon all doubtful cases until all have
been disposed of. ' ' "
EASY-GOING KING HUMBERT.
His One Conspicuous Weakness a Fond
' ness for Military Display.
King- Humbert has the reputation of
being; the most constitutional of all the
constitutional monarchs of Europe.
So well has he fulfilled this rule that,
according' to the - Baltimore Sun, he
may be said to have, save in one point
only, completely extinguished his per
sonality. That point is his determina
tion, at all costs, to keep up the army
and navy to their present state Of effi
ciency and numbers. The various min
istries that have succeeded each other in
Italy with such ' rapidity have real
ly governed the state. This one
condition they had to , accept the
maintenance of the army as desired
by the king1.- His" usual costume on
gala days and. and when he shows
himself to his subjects is the military
costume. He is the first soldier in Italy.
That he possesses great " courage has
been made, fully evident by his devotion
when, the cnolera having broken out
with, virulence in Naples,, he visited the
sick and dying- day after day in their
low and unhealthy dwellings. What
be may- be as a legislator,1 a thinker,
or a wit, the public is not informed.
No legislative measures of paramount
benefit or importance are attributed to
his initiative; no striking thought that
mig-ht enter the heart of the nation has
been pronounced by him-'or 'has
reached -the people; even' the faculty of
making a witty phrase, which, though
little in itself, being uttered by one in
high place acquires a value and a cur
rency which ' "carries it. far and
renders popular its originator, is
not a quality which he pos
sesses. ' A' L generous, ' - good-natured,
easy-going gentleman, who
desires to live- and let live --in fact, a
person of rather' neutral " characteris
tics is the picture that people make
to themselves of King Humbert. He
is to the fore when a review is held.
He looks well when,- arrayed in prand
military costume and riding a noble
steed and surrounded by the excep
tionally brilliant staff of the ' Italian
army; hereviews theHroops in their
march past him. Again, -when seated
in one of the gala carriages, accom
panied by the fall, steel-clad royal
guards, he goes to open a new session
of parliament . he is a figure ' well
worth noticing. - So deeply "has ' the
military spirit entered into the nation
that the king is never publicly seen
on state occasions in any other than
a military costume.-.
