Prince Esterhazy has been a devoted ad

matrimony was never entertainedj us the
Hungarian nobility is least given to mesal
liances of any in Europe.
Prinoe Fstcthazy is now the head of the
most illustrious house in Europe, who
claim an unbroken descent from Paul

or Attlla. I'rlnce riul Is colonel of the

old, but looks much older, and lias the
reputation of having pone a fast pace In
appearance he is very Austrian, with
dark, bURhy hide whiskers and shaven

Great pressure has been brought to

tbe court.
"i'es, sir," answered Dunbar. 'I felt
that I had not glvcu liim enough punish
ment, and followed him to give him more."
"I think, Mr. Dunbar," said Judge Mills,
"you would have been Justified In giving
Mr. Perry all he deserved in the store when
he assaulted you. but your remark that you
'followed him to give him more' would in
dicate that there was a disorder on the
street, and as Mr. Pugh has allowed the
other defendant to rorfelt $51 will make the
same fine in your case."

THE FOUNDLING HOSPITAL.
The Grand Jury Refuses to Declare
It a Nuisance.
A report was made this aftemon by the
giand Jury of its investigation ot Uie
Jtouadling Hospital, oa the charge recently
made that It is a nuisance. The report
states that tbey found the hospital in ex
cellent fcanltary condition, and a well con
ducted institution- It continues:
-While there is some annoyance from
the crying of babies during the warm
season, as has been testified by respectable
citizens, we know or no remedy to stop
it, and do not think the grievnnce of
those complaining sufficient to Justify
us In declaring this humane and useful in
stitution a nuisance.
"We recommeud, however, that the au
thorities be requested, and, if passible, re
quired, to double their present force of
nurees for night duty, as the present force
Is inadequate to properly care tor the
children.
"We further recommend tliat if It be pos
sible to do so the children be moved to the
country during the heated term. Should
a suitable place be obtained for these help
less infants daring the warm months it
would be of great beaent to the children,
besides removing the existing cause or com
plaint ot the redldcnts, as they complain of
no annoyance at other seasons."

with Collins at the time, and as additional
proof the man exhibits the reptiles, which
he has preserved in alcohol In a bottle. Be
sides tne thirty-six whole reptiles there are
the heads and tails of several others, ail of
which, however, are very small.
Collins lives on 8ixty-third street, two
doors west of Baltimore avenue. In a two
story stone house. He makes a living by
the sale of peanuts, cakef- and other edi
bles to the crowds that are to be found
on Sunday about the waiting rooms at the
terminus of the Angora and Media trolley
lines. For several weeks prior to Fri
day he has been apparently failing in
health. Iolug over twenty pounds In weight
In Icns than two months. About ten days
ago Collini' condition became so much
worte that he consulted a Philadelphia phy
sician, who was at first unable to diagnose
tbe caff
After two or three visits, and upon
careful observation of bis patient'4 symp
toms, the doctor told Collins that there
were lizzards In his stomach. Just what
preliminary treatment was given could
not be learned, a Collins, acting under
tbe phvHcJan's instructions, was unwill
iDg to divulge the iatter's name, explain
ing tbat the doctor wUbed to make some
observations of his own before the mat
ter got Into the newspapers. On Friday,
however, an emetic was administered,
aud on that day relief came to the suf
ferer. Collins was in bed at the time, in one
of the second-story rooms of the house,
and hi wife was In the living room
downstairs. She heard the noUe oc
casioned by her husband's distreM. and
ran tinntair to find him bending over
a basin, into which tbe lizards had been
ejected, A few were still alive, but the
greater number had apparently been
killed by the man's efforts to eject them
from his stomach. Other members of
Aho household wero summoned after
Mrs. Collins recovered from her aston
ishment, and they attest to tbe truth of
her story and that of her husband. The
attending physician, when informed of
the number of lizards, and when shown
the specimens in tbe bottle, pronounced,
the case to be the most remarkable
that had ever come under bis observa
tion. How the reptiles got Into his stomach
is a myxtery to Collins, who can only
account for their presence upon the
theory that he must have swallowed soma
of thcii spawn when quenching his
thirst at a spring. HI health ha" been on
the mend elnce Friday, and heis recovering
lost weight rspldly.

ERRATIC COURSE OF SUGAR.
Stocks Active This Slornlug, With
Spirited Speculation.
New rork,JuIy22 Stocksopcnedirregn
lur. Some were up and some were down.
Sugar opened weak and lower, and under
free offerings fell to 140. The offerings
v ere quickly absorbed, however, and the
stocks boon recovered the loss.
Stocks showed increased activity as the
morning went on. The strength was very
uniform, and there wasa breadth and
variety Id the dealings which indicated
a spirited revival of the speculative inter
est. The grangers developed signs of renewed
bull aggression, on the belief that the crops
were virtually nwmreil and on evidence of
the large foreign necessities for American
cereals Sugar continues somewhat er
ratic. Government bonds are firm and un
changed. Jfcw York toek Market.
