HE CAME, AND WAS IMPEACHED
Captain Cornfoot's Testimony
Does Not Pan Out.
His Clothes Were Paid for by De
tective Morse.
Attorney Hanlon Has Proof That Corn
foot'* Testimony Was for Sale
A ■•■(ntionnl Cm* at
nn Knd.
The concluding day of the Mansfield-
Ooodspeed controversy proved to be
fully as surprising and exciting as the
previous ones.
The attorneys* for the contestants had
obtained a three days' continuance by
stating that they would produce the
captain ot the vessel upon which Mn.
Goodepeed was alleged to have eloped.
Therefore when the court met at 0
o'clock there ware an unusual number
of people present, attracted by, the
promised importance of the witness's
testimony.
But the anticipated sensation fell fiat.
Attorney Silent rose and declared that
the long-expected Captain Cornfoot waa
ill in bed and was unable to appear In
court and testify.
This seemed strange and tbe attorneys
for the petitioner, Messrs. Hanlon,
Campbell and Monroe, protested vigor
ously, and after some little delay an ad
journment waa made to the rooms oc
cupied by Detective Harry Moore and
Captain Cornfoot at tbe Nadeau hotel.
He was then examined by Alexander
Campbell ana made the following state
ment:
I reside in San Francisco. Wag at
tached to a vessel hh master called Us
prey in 1864. 'Twai a schooner or brig
antina of lest than 100 tons. That was
my log book on the vessel Osprey, com
mencing November 2, 1864. Mate of
the vessel kept log. Knew Miss Lucy
C. Pratt. Didn't know her when she
went aboard of my vessel. She came
aboard together with a man named
Abtoco, She waa introduced to different
parties aboard as Abecco's wife, but not
to me. This lady, (nodding to Mrs. G.)
said they were going to have • runaway
match. They came aboard about 11:30
of the 22d of November, 18114. They
remained on board nntil next morning
•boat 4 o'clock. Overhauled by revenue
cutter Shubrick. There were six state
rooms in my boat. Abecco and Mrs. G.
occupied one state room that had two
berths. We left San Francisco about
noon time under canvas, with a pilot
aboard. We went out with a light
wind. Tho pilot left st 4p.m. of same
day. Wind died down and wo were be
calmed. I don't know of any preacher
aboard. There was no preacher among
my passengers that I knew. About 4
o'clock the revenue cutter signalled ns
to heave to, and fired a cannon. There
was no wind to heave to, so the cutter
sent a boat to us. The lieutenant of
the boat came on with a lot of detec
tives. She came on deck to get into the
boat, but as far as I can remember
Abecco did not come on deck. Mrs. Q.
was taken away."
Than came a surprise for which most
Of those present were unprepared.
Attorney Hanlon, producing tha letter
written by Captain Cornfoot to General
Mansfield, in which the captain in
formed him that he bad information
concerning the elopement, asked tbe
witness whether he had not written the
letter after consulting with one James
Koe.
The witness acknowledged that he
had, and also that tbe first letter writ
ten was not satisfactory to Mr. Roe and
another one waa written and sent, in
which General Mansfield was instructed
to address the answer to the residence
of Mr. Roe.
"Did you not agree with Roe to sell
your testimony to tbe highest bidder,
and divide with Roe?" asked Hanlon.
This tbe witness denied, but he ac
knowledged that De tec the Morse accom
panied him from San Francisco, and
bought him new clothes and a hat.
He was then asked whether he had,
before leaving San Francisco, instructed
Roe to telegraph Mrs. Goodspeed that
he, the captain, was anxious to commu
nicate with Attorney Hanlon, the tele
gram being signed, "Captain's friend."
This was also denied.
Frank Barrett, a reporter, was called,
and the witness was asked whether or
not be waa acquainted with him.
Cornfoot replied that he met him
at Bangui station, on the way from San
Francisco.
"Did you first deny all knowledge of
telegram, and afterwards tell Mr. Bar
rett that it was tent by your direction
by a friend," questioned Hanlon.
Cornfoot began to grow manifestly
uncomfortable, and in a low tone denied
having done so. He also denied hav
ing at any time attempted to extort
money from both sides.
Tbe party then left tbe room, and aa
they were making their exit Cornfoot
called to Attorney Hanlon eagerly and
asked to speak to him privately. This
Hanlou refused to do, and the court and
attorney returned to conrt.
Frank Barrett, the reporter, then took
tbe witness stand for the purpose of
impeaching the captain's testimony.
He declared that at first the captain
deuied all knowledge of the incriminat
ing telegram, but later on, while Detect
ive Morse was absent, he told the wit
ness that it was sent by a friend. ■
Cross-examined, witness stated that
he had received no pay from Attorney
Hanlon, and had paid his own expenses.
He had undertaken the work with a
view to publishing any news he might
obtain.
He went partly as Mr. Hanlon's agent
and partly on his own account.
The evidence of Attorney Hanlon's
clerk, Raymond, was not allowed by the
court, but it was found to consist of a
statement made by Roe to Raymond to
the effect that Cornfoot was endeavor
ing to sell his testimony to the highest
bidder.
This concluded the proceedings; ths
case was argued with considerable earn
estness by both sides during the after
noon. Judge Clark reserving his deci
sion.
A joint public installation of the
officers of John A. Logan post, G. A. R.

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION,
What Or. John Murray of the Challenges
Expedition Thinks About 11.
An attempt is being made under the
auspices of the Royal Geographical so
ciety to renew interest in antarctic "x
--ploration. An important paper on the
subject was presented to the society
this week by Dr. John Murray of the
Challenger expedition. He argued that
the continent at the south pole com
prised 4,000,000 square miles and that
great practical benefits in the depart
ments of biology, geology and physics
would be gained by its exploration. He
did not advocate a dash for the pole,
but demanded rather a steady, syste
matic exploration of the whole southern
region with all the appliances of mod
ern investigators. The exploration
should be undertaken by the royal navy.
Two ships, not exceeding 1,000 tons
burden each, should be fitted out for
three summers and two winters.
Early in the first season a wintering
party of 10 men should be landed some
where south of Cape Horn, probably
about Bismarck strait, at Graham
Land. The expedition should proceed
to Victoria Land, where a second party
should winter, probably at Mac Murdo
bay, near Mount Erebus. The ships
should not be frozen in, but should re
turn north, conducting observations of
various kinds toward the outer margins
of the Ice. The position of the Ice and
the temperature of the ocean should be
observed.
Early in the spring the wintering
parties should be. communicated with
and re-enforced for another winter.
During the second winter deep sea ob
servations should bo oontinued to tho
north. In tho third Season the winter
ing parties should be picked np and the
expedition return to England.—Loudon
Letter.
REDUCED HER NOSE.
An Actress Whose Proboscis Was Too
Large Bad It Shaved Down.
Miss Crystal Thornton, an actress,
submitted to a peculiar surgical opera
tion at Roosevelt hospital Nov. 23.
Miss Thornton, whose home is in Cali
fornia, is a handsome young woman,
but in her opinion her appearance suf
fered through what she thought was a
deformed nose, bnt which others re
garded as nothing more than a pro
nounced Roman nose. She determined,
however, to have the nose reduced to a
normal size and consulted Dr. Charles
Mcßurney with the view of having him
perform the operation.
The surgeon, it is said, advised her
that if the operation was performed a
■car might remain, which would per
haps be more objectionable to her than
her prominent nose. Miss Thornton
declared that she preferred the scar to
having so much nose and renewed her
request that the operation be perform
ed. The patient was placed under the
influence of ether, incisions were made,
the skin laid away on either side and
part of the bone removed.
The wound was treated with anti
septics, tho skin replaced, and in due
time the patient went home. She vis
ited the hospital again two days later.
When the wound was found to be heal
ing nicely. Miss Thornton has since
that time remained at home, and un
less some unforeseen accident occurs
will in time make her appearance in
public with a symmetrical nose, in har
mony with the rest of her features.—

Somebody Lost a, Hand.
A false left hand which Roundsman
Charlie Wendel found at the exit of
Manhattan field after the football game
on Thanksgiving day awaits a claim
ant at the Washington Heights police
station.
It is incased in a dark tan kid glove
and looks at first glance like a keenly
severed real hand.
The theory is advanced by several
members of tho police force that the
dummy was the property of some in
genious member of the light fingered
gentry, whose perfect hand was under
his clothing during the football gam
bols, but plying its chosen calling all
the more effectively. It is the general
impression that the hand was wrenched
from its fastenings on the wrist of the
owner in the crowd as he passed out ot
the field.—New York Herald.
A GIRL'S GRATITUDE.
Bar Devotion to ■> Mother In Prison la
Rewarded at I-ait,
A bright eyed, rosy cheeked young
iady was waiting for Governor Mat
thews when he reached the executive
office the other morning, and as he en
tered she extended her hand. The
governor recognized her as the daugh
ter of Mrs. Martin of Dubois county,
who was pardoned out ol the female
reformatory the day before, and in an
swer to her excited inquiry if it was
true that he had pardoned her mother
he replied, "Yes, and you may tako
the pardon and deliver it to her."
The announcement was followed by
risible emotion, and it was some mo
ments before the daughter could con
trol her feelings sufficiently to thank
him, but looking rather than speaking
her gratitude she took the pardon, and
a few moments later her mother was re
leased after eight years' confinement.
"That is one of the most peculiar
cases that I ever met," said the govern
or aa his visitor left the room. "Mrs.
Martin was convicted and sentenced for
life for infanticide. She had been de
lerted by her friends and had three
•mall children depending upon her for
support. These she supported by bend
ing over the washtub, and when a
kurth child was born dead she was ar
rested and charged with its murder.
There was, in fact, no evidence to sup
port the charge except what could be
explained away or accounted for by
natural causes, but she was given a life
lentence.
'' Several yeara ago her daughter came
here and secured work as a domestic in
order to be near the mother, and she has
called to see me several times in the
effort to secure the pardon. It was she
who left a moment ago, and I am more
than gratified over an act which I be
lieve is one of justice to the mother and
which rewards the devotion of the
daughter."—lndianapolis Cor. Cincin
nati Enquirer.
"It seems," said the barber, "that
my whole life is to be spent getting out
of one scrape into another."

A NEW OTHELLO.
What a difference love makes in a
man! Practical and methodical busi
ness man as I always prided myself I
was, I had boon changed and altered to
a romantic, nonsensical lover, and I
have not tlun least doubt but that I was
equally as silly—to tho disinterested ob
server—as any boy of 20. Then, too,
there camo tho little moments of hope
or foar, doubt or jealousy, and passions
such as I never dreamed formed part
of my nature. In fact, I had become a
different being. Ennui and apathy van
ished, and in their stead nrose cneigy
and ambition. The old dolights of the
club bored mo now. Poker was obnox
ious, cardp stupid, pool and billiards
tiresome, bowling foolish, baseball—
had I ever been crank enough to go to
see a game? Even the theater and ger
man were useless and empty, except
with Mabel by my side. O love, what
power Is thinel To what may est thou
not actuate even the dullest men!
April's, rainy days were fast draw
ing to a close. It was Saturday after
noon, and I bad not seen Mabel since
Wednesday I All because of that vexa
tious •'indisposition" on Friday even
ing. In fact, these frequent illnesses,
occurring so often of late, were begin
ning to alarm me, and I intended to
insist that the doctor's advice be asked.
Strange enough, the»e short spells of
sickness usually came the same day
each week—l had noticed that—and
though they lasted but a short time—
barely a day, in fact—they were enough
to cause me not a little anxiety.
It was so nearly a perfect day I could
not resist the temptation, bo shortly aft
er 8 o'clock, all work tor the day being
over, I closed the office and turned my
face toward North Charles street. Ma
bel may be feeling better, I thought,
and a promenade on the avenue will do
her good. A short, brisk walk up the
fine street, and I stood before my fian
cee's home. The servant who opened
the door appeared to hesitate when I
asked if Mabel was feeling better, and
after a moment's awkward pause an
swered : "Miss Mabel is perfectly well.
Walk into the parlor, sir."
"Perfectly well!" I echoed to myself.
"I'm glad of that." Then, turning to
the servant, who had seen me often be
fore, I said: "You need not announce
me. I will surprise her."
Carefully depositing my hat upon the
rack, and after a hasty glance at the
glass—love even makes a man vain—l
tiptoed softly across the hall and gently
placed my hand upon the knob of the
parlor door. I was on the point of en
tering tho room when I fancied I heard
talking. I stopped and listened. Yes,
Mabel was conversing with some one.
Possibly some girl friend, and my pres
ence would be an intrusion or an em
barrassment. I paused. It seemed
strange! Mabel entertaining a visitor
with all the parlor doors closed! There
she was speaking again, but so low and
soft I could not understand a word. For
fully a minute I stood thus in a quan
dary, not knowing how to act, when
juddenly Mabel raised her voice, and in
bewilderment I distinctly heard:
"And you will always be true—no
matter what comes, what fortune may
bring?"
"Ah, dearest, can you doubt me?"
came the astounding answer. "Can you
question the depth of my love?"
I was dumfounded. "The depth
tf"— What did it all mean? It was
no woman's voice that 1 hoard, for the
words had been spoken by a man—a
man for whom in that one instant I
conceived a violent hatred. My Qodl
Could it be possible that Mabel, my
dear loving Mabel, had dccci— "No!"
I cried in my heart, checking the awful
thought. '' I must have heard wrongly.''
The voices had subsided once more,
and for a few minutes, though I pressed
close to the door and strained every
nerve, I could not distinguish a solitary
word. Presently tho sounds became
more audible and the words clearer.
With caution I pressed anxiously for
ward.
"But I wanted tosurprireyou, love,"
said Mabel affectionately.
"Well, dear, you have done so most
effectually,'' came the equally affection
ate response.
Good heavens! My hand dropped to
my side, and I staggered across the hall
as if I had been shot. I was stunned.
Utterly bewildered, 1 stood as one in
a dream. My entiro life seemed in that
one minute to pass in frightful vision
before my gaze. Was this tho retribu
tion of a just fate, that I, who had al
ways been a hater of womankind, a
scoffer at all things feminine, should
fall so deeply in love, dream—sad
dream!—that love reciprocated and then
suddenly learn that the woman I cher
ished and believed true and faultless, for
whom no sacrifice had been or was too
great, this woman had trifled with me,
this fickle, f atthloss woman had deceived
me?
How long the painful reverie contin
ued I have no idea. It may have been a
few seconds; it may have been an hour
—cannot tell. I waa dead to all feel
ing save that of my humiliation and
shame. Impulse led me to seize my hat
and leave the house, hide my head from
the sight of men and ever after cut so
«i«JZs_ j
Still musing, I turned to take my
hat, when a loud, merry laugh from the
parlor woke me to my senses. Laugh
ing! They were laughing over it. I
could stand it no longer. Pain and sor
row fled, ond only the wound to my
honor remained.
Surprise and astonishment gave way
to resentment and anger. Anger became
hatred. Dashing my poor hat upon the
floor, I rushed to the door. My blood
seemed to boil within me. Unconscious
ly I clinched my fists.
Again that gay laugh. Rnreiy my
name was mentioned that time! They
wero laughing at me, were they? Ah,
triflers, beware! He laughs best who
laughs last.
Thought upon thought rushed upon
mo and drove me nigh to desperation.
What an ass, what a dolt I had been!
And hereafter—curse it all!—I would
be a laughing stock for all tho busybody
gossipers of the city.
"I wonder what George will say
when he finds it all out?" I heard Ma
bel say, and then she laughed again,
even heartier than before.
"Oh, I fancy ho will be the most as
tonished man in the city," answered
her companion, joining in tho laugh.
1 havo often read the old fablo about
tho last straw breaking tho camel's
back, nnd this last Jeering allusion to
myself, that heartless laugh, exasperat
ing in its mockery, was the last straw.
Unable further to restrain myself, I
flung open the door and rushed into the
room. Without a word I sprang toward
that man, and not even pausing to
glancn at his face I caught him fiercely
by tho nape of tho neck and dragged
him to tho center of the room.
"George!" shrieked Mabel, regaining
her voice.
"Let go, I say!" cried the follow at
my feet, shaking me off, after a mighty
effort. "Goorge Froham, are you cra
zy?"
"Tom Holbrook!" I exclaimed, recog
nizing a prominent member of my own
set. "You scoundrel 1 I'll"
"George, George!" cried Mabel,
grasping me tightly and trying to hold
me back. "Aro you mad? What's the
matter?"
"The matter!" I almost yelled, re
leasing her hold. "Can you dare to ask
me such a question?"
"Can I dare? What <io you mean,
George? I don't understand you."
"I mean,"l replied, "that I have
been standing by that door and have
heard the loving words''——■
"What," interrupted Mabel, "you
heard"
"Ye*,." I continued, "I heard the
tender names and loving words you
whispered so affectionately to one an
other. You, Tom Holbrook, rascal that
you are"
A sudden idea seemed to strike the
fellow, for, disregarding my hot words,
he actually smiled. "Ah, laugh!" I
yelled. "I'll teach you to laugh, sir!
As for this girl horo"
I turned toward Mabel as I spoke,
when to my utter consternation I saw
that she, too, was smiling. It was too
much. With a loud cry I raised my
hand to strike the fellow, but Mabel
clutched my arm so suddenly and close
ly that tho blow was checked.'
"George, George I" she cried, "let
mo explain this to you!"
"Explain?" I queried. "Do you
mean to say that you will try to clear
yourselves in my eyes?"
"Of oourso I will," she answered,
still smiling. "I had no idea you were
sucn an Othello.. Tom and I are to play
lovers' parts in tho performance at the
Odeon next month, and we were merely
rehoarsing tho lines. Don't you see?"
"You take in amateur theatricals!
Why, I thoroughly de—but you never
told mo a word about it."
'' No, George. They had all agreed
not to mention it to you, and I was go
ing to surprise you the day beforehand.
But," sho continued teasingly, "Mr.
Othello No. 2 has spoiled all the fun.
Now don't you see, dear?"
And I saw.— S. J. Block in Philadel

A Chinese Legend About Tea.
There is a strange Chinese legend con
cerning the tea plant. According to the
story, there onco lived a very pious
hermit who passed the greater part of
his time in prayer and vigils. He was,
however, unable to keep awake as long
as he wished, and often found his eyes
closing while ho was in the very midst
of his devotions. This naturally an
noyed him, and one day in a fit of wrath
against this weakness of the flesh, which
he seemed unable to overcome, he cut
off tho rjffendmg eyelids and cast them
upon the ground. But his action had
been observed by a god, who immedi
ately caused a tea shrub to spring up
from the spot where the eyelids had
fallen. It is in reference to this, ac
cording to the legend, that the leaves of
the tea plant are shaped like eyelids,
fringed with lashes, and possess the
power of warding olf sleep.
A Famous Electrician.
Charles F. Brush, the famous electri
cian, became interested in the mysteries
of that force when he was but 18 years
'of age. It is related that while he was
attending the Cleveland high school he
distinguished himself by making elec
tric machines and batteries for that in
stitution. During his senior year the
chemical and physical abilities of the
laboratory were placed under his
charge. When he was but 16 years of
age, he constructed an electric motor
having magnets and armature. He also
constructed a microscope and a tele-
Bcope, making all the parts with his
own hands, even to the grinding of the
lenses.—Exchange.__
MoHahu and Croty,
In Paris, in the revolution of 1830, a
law student was soundly kicked by one
of the king's officers for tearing down a
copy of the ordinances placarded on the
wall. The officer was armed, the student
was not; so the latter ran away. Nearly
a half century later—in 1879—the officer
called upon the student to bid him good
by, having just resigned the presidency
tf the French republic on account of a
radical difference with majority of
the national assembly ori questions of
state policy. He combined with his
adienz, also, a graceful word of con
gratulations on the student's election to
succeed him in the presidential chair.
The student was Jules Grevy; the officer
was Patrice de MacMahon, who died
ripe in years and honors.—Kate Field

A THOUGHTFUL BRIGAND.
Tired of Hie Calling, He Writes n Cour
teous Letter to the Commandant.
Nothing could be more correct or
gentlemanly than tho behavior of the
Corsican brigand Barthelemy Durili in
surrendering himself, as he has recent
ly done, to tho offended justice of his
country. Writing from Piana to the
commandant of the district, he said:
Monsieur this Commanoant—l, tho under

that I Intend to give myself up into your cus
tody an it prisoner to be tried at the approach

let mo know when I can do so and address
your reply to my mother, Mme. Durili, at Pl

An soon as yon have written to her, and she
linn sent me the letter, I beg you, monsieur the
commandant, to be (rood enough to instruct
your gendarmes in order that I may proceed
without molestation to AJaccio to surrender
myself. I should not care to be arrested on
the way by tho gendarmes, and I 6h:tll tuko It
as a favor if you will give them instructions on
the subject. Please let me hear from you five
or six days beforo the date of the assizes, that
I may have time to mako my preparations. I
rely upon you. Accept, monsieur the com
mandant, tho expression of my entire devotion.

No Waiting Vot a Kite There.
Mr. W. K. Reynolds, Jr., in a letter
to his father from British Columbia
dated Nov. 18, tells tho following re
markable story:
"Was at Duncan's two nights; spent
an hour at the Cowichan river each
evening catching salmon by the tail and
throwing them up the bank or back in
the river. I suppose you will think
this overdrawn, but it is a fact just the
name. The river is literally swarming
with them, and the water can hardly
be seen for fish. The banks are cov
ered with dead fish, and the stench is
horrible. The people are complaining,
but apparently nothing can be done. 1

James Stanley a Widow.
Another of the strange stories for
which the English chancery court is re
markable is astonishing everybody to
day. The Widow Cullener had a life
interest in her husband's estate, ter
minating on her remarriage. It is al
leged that she married a certain James
Stanley in 1865. The answer is that
the widow is Stanley. She has lived as
a man for the past 28 years and carried
on Imsinese as a plumber. She went
through a marriage ceremony in 1866
with another woman named Newland,
and they lived as man and wife till
1885. The case is still on trial.—Lon
don Cor. New York Sun.
She Wins and Be Loses.
The jury in the case of Mrs. H. K.
Danielsbn vs. G. P. Yoakum, a suit to
recover property disposed of on alleged
false representations, returned a verdict
yesterday for the plaintiff.
