that such injury might not be compensated in

A PRINTING OFFICE THREATENED AND THE ISSUE
OF THE "LIBERAL" NEW-'PAPER CAPTURED AND
THROWN OVERBOARD.
Yesterday the regular edition of the Lil)eral,
the readjuster newspaper published by Dr.
Thomas Foster, in Alexandria, Va., did not ap
pear in that city. Messrs. J. M. Hill & Com
pany who have been printing it there for the pub
llsher, were waited upon yesterday morning
and informed that if the paper was -worked off
in their oiice, the establishment would be
gutted. The forms were therefore sent to this
city, and the paper as printed here, contained
the following:
"TwELvE O'CLOCK P. M.-Mr. Hill, the job
printer, who had contracted to print our paper
on his steam job press, has just declined podo
so on the ground of threatened injury to his
business and loss of the corporation job print
ing. It seems he was visited by the two Smiths,
Jim Burnett and others of that gang, who bull
dozed him Into refusing. This forces us to send
our forms to Washington to be pressed. Vipers!
You gnaw a file."
It appears the forms were closely watched,
and when Mr. John Hunter, in charge of the
bundle of printed copies of the paper was re
turning with them from this city to Alexandria
in the boat, two men took the bundle from him
by force and threw It overboard. Consequently
the subscribers failed to receive their papers.
It will be remembered that Dr. Foster. who is a
Treasury department clerk here, but resides in
Alexandria, was recently attacked at his resi
dence there by two men. Subsequently Robert
Ballenger and George Nowland were arrested
on suspicion, but were released after trial on
Monday, on the ground of Insufficient evidence.
It is said that these are the same men who
pitched the papers overboard yesterday.

EUGENE FAIRFAX WILLIAMSON IN THE NEW YORE
TOMBS-HIS CAREER, ETC.
Eugene Fairfax Williamson alias "Gentleman
Joe" and "High Churchman,' who for so long a
time past has been annoying Rev. Dr. Dix, rec
tor of Trinity Church parish, New York, and a
full account of whose arrest in Baltimore Wed
nesday was published In the Sun, arrived In
New York yesterday morning in charge of Gen
eral Superintendent James Gaylor, and taken to
a private room in the post office. Dr. Dix was
soon there, and discovered that Williamson was
about nine years ago a Sunday school teacher In
Trinty Chapel. which position he left under a
cloud. The prisoner begged for mercy, and as
sured Dr. Dix tht he had no thought or Inten
tion of levying blackmail upon him. He dis
claimed any personal feeling against Dr. Dix.
Superintepdent Gaylor said that the prisoner
confessed to him that In sending those letters
about the country he had no bad motive, and
that it was his way of having fun. As far as
can be ascertained he Is well off, and is con
nected with one of the old Virginia families. "I
am satisfied," said Mr. Gaylor "that he had no
intention of levying blackmail, but was guided
entirely in his work by some insane Impulse."
Dr. Dix agrees with Superintendent Gaylor In
believing that Williamson is not in his right
mind. Dr. Dix calls the prisoner a pitable ob
ject, and is satisfied that the man is sincerely
repentant. He expressed himself as deeply
grateful to the post office authorities for assist
tng to rid him of his persecutor. He judges
from_ his conversation with Williamson that
the man has many friends and Is well connected.
District-Attorney Bliss made a complaint
against Williamson, charging him with seeking
to extort money by means of a threatening
letter. The prisoner was committed for ex
amination under $2,000 ball, the examination
to take place next Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock. He was immediately taken in charge
by officer Field, of the district attorney's
office, and was accompanied by the officer and
Superintendent Gaylor to the post offce, where
his trunk was brought to him. He opened it,
took out some packages, one of which con
tained a large, handsome album, and sent them,
he said, to his relatives. He was allowed to
write some letters and send some disoatches to
hisrelatives and friends, and then ofdcer Field
took him to the Tombs, where he was lodged in
a cell. Just before.Williamson was taken to the
Tombs there was a marked change in his ap
pearance as compared with the way he looked
in the morning. His eyes seemed to be more
deeply set, his face wore an extremely hag
gd and troubled expression, and he appeared
?o be confused and dazed. He was very pale,
and his hand trembled when he tried to write.
A Pittsburg dispatch, says: "Williamson
came to this city some four years ago, at once
obtaining entre into the best society here. He de
scribed himself as a Virginian of English line
age. He was always comfortably supplied with
funds, a good conversationalist, somewhat ec
centric, though in a harmless way, and seemed
fond of making a sensation. He quite frequently
dropped into poetry, his stanzas finding a p lace
in several of our home papers. He also printed
five or six books for private circulation, was an
atten dant of the Episcopal church,toccasionally
took pleasure jaunts to the seashore and east
era cities, and altoeter was looked upon as
an agreeable thoug eccentric fellow.,'
As already sae, this is not Williamson's
first offense of the kind. In 1873 he was ar
rested in London for attempting to extort money
from a Mr. Rosenbaum by similar proceedings.
For this he was sentenced to a year In Newgate.
In 1872 he visited the Hotel Metropole, Geneva,
Switzerland, where he called himself a colonel,
andipassed for a man of great wealth. He at
tracted attention by the the luxury of has
lie and the number of curious musical be g.es
which he had collected, and which were eon
cealed ln different articles of furniture. Every.
thing bore his crest, and he made expensive
presents. One day he left the hotel, and It is
said that the managers have never ceased to be
interested in his whereabouts.
1115 HISTORY IN BALTIMORE.
The Baltimore Run says: Williamson is known
in Baltimore and has a history here dating back
to the time of the civil war. On June 5, 1863,
he, with a number of other young men, was ar
rested and confined In the Gimor House, then
used as a federal prison, charged with the or
ganization and equipment of a cavalry regi
ment for the southern army, and being on the
eve of departure for the south. Williamson was
at first domiciled with his 00mrades but his fre
quent absence from them,occasionaly for hours
at a time, excited suspicon,ax lV We w .thed
by the outside friends of the other risoners. It
was stated that he had the liberty of the stre~ets
and in short that his Incarceration was merely
a matter of form. Some three Inonths
before the arrest spoken of Williamsnn
had been Introduced -to and won the af
fections of a highly respectable young
lady, who was a warm advocate and aider of
the southern cause. It is asserted by many
that he paid court to this lady simply to fur
ther his own and, through her, to become
conversant wih e quiet workings of those
who were rendering the southern cause aid in
Baltimore. The brother of this lady was one of
the principals In the formation of the body of
cavalry, and the sister was also active in such
asistance as she could render. Williamsn,.
who represented himself as a Virginian, and
the most pronounced of southerners anxious
to do all in his power to help his section of the
th~ thi lady of lh workings of th
adou artiengae wI he entrprise,
before he took steps to secure them. Alag
number of them got off, but he suc
ceeded In haigone party ea~t the ht
tefore their orthe ec ,and pce
up a numnber afterwards.,o a tiehe
staid In the GilorHouse with them, but, as he
found ohigmore to be&ed from associa
tion with usly ffhsdisgulse.
This was by an attempted asuto
him one morning byone of the young men he
was said to have btae,in the presence of
the federal guard. After thsWimlamsn never
appeared among the men he had trpe.He
was seen around CoL. Fish's haqres,the
provost marshal of the city at thattiebt
soon left the city, numerous threats hvnbeen
made of doin him serious bodily Injury. Wil

How to M=age the New York
Avenue Parking.
Witor ear-It being generally conceded that
when your STAR casts its bright rays on any
subject the desired end is accomplished, I offer
the tin the hoe that it
may strike your mind as it does mine,
and induce the aforesaid illumination. sup
the railway tracks which now disfigure
the beautiful parking in New York avenue were
placed on the concrete, one on each side and
close to the parking, and an eight-foot con
erete walk made through the center of the park,
the grass being extended to cover the balance
of the space so gained, and seats placed at con
venient distances on the sides. Can yi not
Imagine the blessings of the weary cro ds as
they return from their work in the hot after
noons and linger under the arching foliage? Did
you ever notice how in a hot day the sidewalks
are deserted by pedestrians, who will walk at
the risk of life and limb on the concrete pave
ment to get as near as possible to those blessed
tres, while the cars are occupying the space so
craved, and injuring the overarching limbs?
And then the children who live along that ave
nue. What a boon to them! But I see that
gathering frown and leave you to see the rest.

Is the Thomson School Building
Safe ?
Editor Star:-I write to ask attention to the
condition of the Thomson building. I under
stand the health officer's attention has been
called to the matter; that he referrel it to the
Commissioners, and they referred it to the in
spector of buildings, who proceeded to prop the
floors, which were found to be settling to an
alarming extent. But is a building that requires
to be propped up such a building as we should
have for school purposes? Let those who have
children in that school examine the north wall
of the building-a wall peihape fifty by sixty
feet with but a single tie to support it-see it
standing there in waves from end to end, and
decide for themselve whether they will trust the
lives of four hundred children in such a place.
The sight alone cannot but create a doubt as to
the safety of the building, no matter what may
be said by officials to the contrary. The bare
suspicion of danger to so many little ones de
mands immediate and thorough repair. Better
abandon the place than cause a moment's anx
iety. CrImzEN.
ExrosING A BiAmIs'r.-A telegram from Syra
cuse, March 25 says: F. C. Fadner, who was
arrested in the City of Rome, N. Y.. for bigamy
yesterday, is the editor of the Wateloo rd, and
has been a prominent apostle of temperance
for a year past. Last summer he stumped cen
tral New I ork for the temperance cause. On
the 3d of November last he was married to Miss
Effle Powell, by the Rev. C. E. Mason. The
marriage notice was not printed in any news
paper, but nothing was thought of this circum
stance at the time. On the 19th of February a
letter was received from Omaha making in
quiries concerning Mr. Fadner and signed by a
woman who claimed to be his lawful wife. She
also claimed that he had left her two children to
support. In response to a suggestion from in
terested persons, Mrs. Fadner came to Rome,
and, swearing out a warrant, had her husband
arrested. She tells a sad story of abandonment.
She declares that Fadner had only lived with her
three years when he began to show his Infidelity
to her and to use personal violence, refusing to
support herself and children. He advertised in
the newspapers for young lady correspondents,
and enswers came in by the dozen. Fadner
claims to have a divorce from his wife, and de
clares that she has threatened to kill him on
zeveral occasions, both by poisoning him and
cutting his heart out with a butcher knife. Mrs.
Fadner claims that she never heard that her
husband had pretended to have a divorce from
her until Thursday. She Is a dressmaker, and
has labored hard to support her children while
her husband has been playing the part of a
hypocrite. The friends of Fadner's young wife
are very Indignant.
