Tiikntox, N. J., July 20.-reople
here are talkiug about a matter that
has all the elements of a successful
farce comedy. Last Saturday Peter
Finiski and Mary Epswick went from
here to Camden to be married, and
after the ceremony returned to a saloon
kept by Mrs. Lizzie Parcel!, whero
Mary had lived as servant and where
the wedding reception was to be held.
Eor months previous to the wedding
liniski and Unas. Jvepwotski had
been making love to Mary. Each had
equal chances of success apparently,
until one night when Finiski, on re
turning from a rolling mill, exhibited
a big roll of bills. That roll of money
secured for him the hand and heart of
Mary. It also obtained household
good, paid Ji month's house rent in
advance and bought a ring. In fact
it made Peter and Mary happy. It
ata made Itepwotski angry.
The latter appeared at the wedding
festivities last Snudny night, and
threatened to kill Finiski, but Peter
did not wait for the slaughter. He
left word with his bride that he would
return goon, and then he hustled out
of the backwav and left the city.
Now Mrs. Finiski is angrv and bins
her husband is a coward and that she
will not live v. tth him if he comes
back. She has sold the household
outfit back to the fnnritnre dealers.
; aim she smiles so pleasantlv on iven
I woU.ki nowadajs, that it is predicted
I by some that she may soon change her
name again.

Coi'PKYVtr.i.u, Ivans., July 20. A
rojwrt has ju&t reached heie of a
doublo murder in the Cherokee strip,
a few milest south of Cedar Vale, in
vestigation proves it to 1k another
chapter in the war which is being
waged on men who bring foreign
cattle into the state. When tho
Ivrump and Garner herd was drawn
from Cedar Vale to their ranch in the
.nlrirw. everv cowbov Avith a herd
' taunted the people of Cedar Yale, with
IwMug accomphees of Gibson and
Fnizier, and it was with great diSliculty
that tnuible was prevented.
After the herd had been placed on
the much, two of the boys were missed,
and it was supposed that they had
laken their money and gone off to
some town and indulged in n spree.
On Wednesday eveniug as three of the
men belonging to the camp were
going along tho road towards Cedar
Vale, their attention was attracted to
some buzzards hovering over a spot
near by in the grass, and they made
an investigation.
Here they found that the two miss
ing men had been shot from the back
and left. Both bodies were lying face
down, and their pockets had leen
rilled. Part of their clothing was aLo
taken. The fact that the robberv was
committed on their bodies, sis on the
body of Frazicr, led many people here
to believe that there is a concerted
movement on the part of the outlaws,
to mist the troubles over cattle, as a
shield for their nefarious work, and
thus throw the blame on the people of
the country, who are opposing the in
troduction of cattle.

Special to Tub Astouiax.1
CmcAao, July 20. Besidenta in the
twenty-seventh ward had a wild ex
perience with mad dog last night.
Early in the earning, a large bull dog
came tearing'Jdown the road from
Niles, snapping at everything he met.
He crossed the river and ran down
the main street of Montrose, where a
German, whose name was not learned,
endeavored to intercept him.
The huge beast fastened his jaws on
the man's arm, and mutilated it to
such an extent that amputation will
probably be necessary. He then ran
on down the street biting a dozen or
more dogs iu the neighborhood.
At Irving park he sprang upon two
boys, who were playing in the road.
One of thom, a son of Mr. Klehm, was
frightfully lacerated about the chest,
and was taken to the hospital. The
other boy, a son of Mr. Gayer, was
bitten in the right side. By this time
quite a party of citizens were in pur
suit of the mad dog. He was followed
out into an open field where he turned
on his pursuers.
One of the party shot and wounded
him, and then a man armed with an
ice pick struck him a blow iu the neck.
The dog fastened his teeth in the
handle of the pick, and was pounded
to death with a pitchfork before he
could release his hold. Some fifty
dogs that are supposed to have been
in the path of the rabid animal were
shot thls.morniug.

Hani Fight or a Ticket Scalper.
Special to Tun Astoriax.1
Chicago, 111., July 20. An attach
ment returnable forthwith, was issued
by judge McConnell yesterday, against
chairman Walker, of the Inter Stato
Commerce railway association. It
grows out of the fight of the well
known ticket scalper, E. A. Milford,
against the American Ticket Brokers
association, which dropped him from
membership. He began mandamus
proceedings m Louisville sometime
ago, to be reinstated, and also begau
several damage snits.
This brought out an interesting
story, to the effect that soon after the
inter state law went into effect, Mil
ford closed out his scalping bus
iness in Chicago, saying there
was no money in it. After
ward, it is stated, he was em
ployed by the interstate commerce
railway association, presumably on
account of his intimate acquaintance
with the scalping business, to aid the
railways in stamping it out
It is asserted he was to receive
$12,000 a year, but stuck out for the
chairmanship of one of the minor or
ganizations, in place of beiug merely
the head of the secret bureau. Not
being able to gain this, he quit the
association and went back to scalping,
but the ticket brokers in the mean
time had thrown him out Tho Louis
ville court has directed a notary here
to take the deposition of chairman
Walker.

Ti: WORLD'S FAIR.
Sunday Opening anil the Liquor
Question.
Special to The Astokiax.
PinTiAPEiiPHiA, July 20. Prelimin
ary meetings of the committees on the
permanent organization of the World's
fair, have already developed several
important matters. One is that the
committee i3 a unit in favor of open
iug the doors of the great enterprise
on Sundays, with the proviso that
the machinery shall not be put in op
eration. Another is, that favors the sale of in
toxicating liquors at the cafes and
restaurants which may be established
within tho grounds, while at the same
time it does not believe in a public
bar.
As the committee is largely auto
cratic in its powers, and its report will
be accepted without question by the
main body, these two ideas may bo
this early accepted as prospective cer
tainties. At the same time there is
no doubt that they will encounter
strenuous opposition from tho Sab
batarian element and the prohibi
tionists. Any one who remembers the terrific
battle which was waged by the minis
ters and laymen of all denominations,
against the Sunday opening of thb
centennial exposition of 1S7G, will not
doubt for a moment that the board of
management of the coming exposition,
is certain to encounter a tremendous
broadside or opposition, coming from
all over the country.
The committee of permanent organ
ization however, will bo firm in its
opposition, taking the ground that
the educational benefits of the Sun
day opening, will be immense, and
I that while the raachinerv need not be
m operation, people could walk
around, rest on the benches, listen to
the sacred concerts, and enjoy gener
ally tho grand sights before them. So
far as the liquor aspect of the ques
tion is concerned, tho present propo
sition does not? go beyond what was
granted at ths centennial.

A Conflict Eminent Between Tnr

Special by Tho Uxm.n Press.
CoxstaxtixoMiTJ, Turkey., July 20.
The English consul at Erzcroum,
has telegraphed to the British embassy
of this city, that its proper course is to
advise the porte to make all
haste to reinforce the garrisons of
Armenia, if the sultan means to offer
any practical opposition to Russian
invasion.
The consul states that all sorts of
war material are literally pouring in
an incessant stream through Batonm,
and tho transport servico is working
night and day. It is firmly believed
here that unless Turkey acts quickly,
or the European powers take a hand
in the business, Russia will secure so
strong a hold of Armenia that it will
be next to impossible to dislodge her.
This will mean another big slice of de
sirable strategic territory, added to
Russia's J facilities for getting into
Persia and Turkey, and England's
interests are" certainly involved in
some degree.

Special to Tm: Astokiax.j
BuciiAicnsT, Roumania, July. 20.
The Russian organs of this city declare
that the outrageous misrule in
Armenia is fully justifying Rnssian
intervention. Tho Turkish officials
and soldiery, as if conscious that the
Ottoman regime is at the point of
death, are resorting to open mnrder
and robbery, to fill their pockets with
all the treasure they can lay their
hands upon, before thoy are compelled
to leave that terrorized country in the
hands of the inuscovite3.
The officials of the sultan are ex
torting amounts of taxes several times
over, from the unhappy inhabitants,
and those who resist are mercilessly
bastinadoed, as a punishment and
wanting to others. Houses are ran
sacked and goods stolen in open
defiance of all decency and justice.
Since the recent riot at Ezroum, it is
said that it had been ascertained that
a large number of women disappeared
dunng the row. They have undoubt
edly been abducted and will never
again be seen by their relatives.

Special to The Astoiuax.j
Loxdox, July 20. The Armenia
question is becoming very pressing,
and England will be forced to do
something. An exchange of views is

stance, in harmony with the triple
alliance, aud their communications
with one another, point to a united
intervention in Armenia. It is be

Special by Tho Usited Peess
Paris, July 20. There is a very
stormy time at Ecolo Militaire de
Saint Cyr, the French west point
The difficulty arose from the time
honored custom of Hazing new cadets,
or plebes, as they would be called on
the Hudson. The other day, against
all traditions of the school, one of the
men walked into the billard room.
Three or four old cadets immediately
put the intruder out, but in doing so,
the freshman hit one of his assailants
a smart blow between the eyes.
The senior class was furions at this
want . of respect, and took
all the mattresses of the
freshman class and soaked them
in water. They also poured
water into the barrels of their rifles,
poured oil over their clothes, and
bound two of their men to a tre8 and
left them there stark naked, ex
posed to the rain all night The
upper and lower classes refused to
drink their .usual champagne together
after the review on tho lith. Forty
challenges having been given and
accepted, forty duels will probably
come off as soon as vacation begins.
Meanwhile tho officera have token the
matter in hand in earnest, and all
nazmg is stopped by force.

Rosalind is such an unqualified suc
cess that Daly has decided to post
pone everything else for the present
run of "As You Like It," till almoat
the close of his London season. The
London press, almost without a single
exception, have gone wild about it
lhe box offices are besieged nightly.
There is no truth in the report that
Daly is going to the Haymarket next
year, or 13 to build a new London
theater. He made more time at tha
Lyceum than he ever made on his
former visits to London and intends
to go to the same theater next year, if
possible.
Nat Goodwin begins at the Gaiety
Monday night, with assurance of a

Emma Abbott returns to New York
two weeks hence, taking with her sev
eral trunks of dresses from Worth, to
Oberammergau to see the passion play.
Tho event of the week, if the secret
had not leaked out and prevented it,
would have been a prize fight speci
ally arranged for the prince of Wales,
during his visit to New Market It is
fonr years since his royal highness
publicly witnessed any amusement of
this kind. The prince was to be the
guest of the New Market this week.
Unusual preparations were made to
receive him, and as the prince came
along tho avenue, he saw a large

Loxdox. July 20. The London
correspondent of the New York World
cables the fact that scores of Ameri

of the season, on promises that they
should be invited to the Prince of
Wales' garden party, had to chew the
bitter cud of disappointment at tho
eleventh honr, as fewer Americans
were invited this time than for some
