A VERY ROMANTIC STORY, Baron Louis Cremers Wants $100,000 Damages on Account of an Al leged Libel. A Love Story not Devoid of Romance Connected With the Libel Suit. Be Relates the Story of His Connubial Career to a Newspaper Reporter. Nkw Yokk, Feb. Baron Louis Cremers has filed suit against the Press newspaper for $100,000 damages on ac count of an alleged libel published in that journal Dec. Id, 1887. Behind the suit there is an unusually romantic story. No suspicion attaches to the title or social standing of Baron Cremers. He is the son of Russia's Rothschild, the great St. Petersburg banker, whose weatth is at least $40,000,000. Moreover, Baron Cremers is the nephew of the Russian minister at Washington, Baron Destroy" and is a lieutenant in Russia's aristocratic cavalry regiment. He is a tall young man, of well-knit, athletic frame, and the scars of old wounds that seam his forehead under the blonde curls attest that he has seen service in the field ami in the dueling army. A re porter yesterday found Baron Cremers in the office of his counsel. Having con sulted with his lawyer, the baron con sented to make a statement. •*1 have no vindictive purpose,'" he said, "in this prosecution. but 1 want the opportunity to vindicate myself from an atrocious calumny. 1 regret that 1 must introduce the name of my wile, from whom lam now separated, and who is largely responsible lot the painful cir cumstances thai have arisen." "Well, baron, what about the alleged libel.*" inquired the reporter. "Here,'' replied the baron, as he drew out a printed extract, "is an infamous letter written from jail by a socialistic shoemaker who was arrested on the charge of assaulting his own thirteen year-old daughter. 1 regret to say that this man was a protege and pet of my wife. Learning that we had separated, he wrote to her from prison saying that 1 had better hide his daughter. The man's name is James Jewell, who was arrested on the sworn statement of the girl Elizabeth. There is evidently a con spiracy in the ease, for the girl was in duced to prefer a charge against me and exculpate her unnatural parent: but within a day or two she retracted the accusation, and admitted that her father was to blame. It is humiliating to be mixed up in any way with such an .in famy. Jewell is held lor trial, but I want the earliest opportunity to vindi cate myself."' "How did you happen to be involved in such a case?" "Ah, thereby hangs a long tale. A year ago last November 1 was married to Victoria Casini. It was a foolish union. 1 never knew what her father's name was. I admit that she fascinated me, yet the proposal of marriage came from her. although it was not leap year. 1 took pity on her helpless condition and financial embarrassments, foi she was practically deserted by her friends. 1 entertained toward her a most ardent, pure and sincere devotion, yet we were only a couple of weeks married when she told me that she could not possibly love any man." " "Didn't these circumstances or dis closures disturb the harmony of your relations'.'" "1 was honestly devoted to the woman, and when she told me of her peculiar temperament 1 replied that if such were unfortunately the case, still, although it would be a calamity to me, I would ac cept such share of friendly feeling and gratitude as she could give me. She disclosed other serious errors of her life before our marriage, hut 1 assured her that if she would lead a true and loyal life now 1 would condone the past and trust my future in her hands. 1 was de pendent on my father, and he was ex tremely liberal until she contrived to poison his mind against me." "Where did the shoemaker come into the drama?" "lie was my wife's acquaintance, not mine. This fellow Jewell made her shoes. Immediately after our marriage she became exceedingly friendly with him. having known him" for a longtime previously. He was a socialist. theoso phist. and swelled up with all sorts of theories. She subsequently called upon him, remaining sometimes from noon until 7 p. in., and even taking him tothe theater. For instance, she took this | shoemaker to see Sara Bernhardt. To j this acquaintance 1 naturally objected with a good deal of emphasis and en deavored to dissuade her from continu- i ing it. .She positively disobeyed my | wishes, declaring that. Jewell was a man ' who might well be taken for a model of humanity— tact, her ideal of the modern civilized man. He exercised a very potert, and, in my opinion, any thing hut beneficial influence on the conduct of tin- baroness, to such an ex tent thai sin- adopted in their entirety his fierce and bloodthirsty, anarchistic and socialistic theories, all of which were utterly abominable and repugnant tome. However, as 1 found it impos sible to induce her to give up the ac quaintance of the shoemaker, and the subject was the source of constant irri tation and heart-burning, I consented to meet this Jewell rather than lead a cat and .log life." "How did lie impress you?" "As a decidedly malodorous individ ual ; yet 1 cultivated his acquaintance assiduously in the hope of mitigating an evil that 1 could not wholly get rid of. As the fellow was in a state of ab ject poverty I gave him orders for shoes and recommended him to my friends. The first time 1 met him was during the Christmas holidays of 1886. His daugh ter assisted him" in his business, but I never spoke a word to her in my life be yond the ordinary 'good morning' or 'good evening,' addressed jointly to her father and herself. The shoe maker's adroit letter, seeking to fasten his crime on me, is infamously false; but I must take cognizance of it in or der to vindicate myself. In his com munication to my wife there is a thread of candor with a web of wiles and lies." "Do you propose to seek a divorce?" "That is something to be considered later. We are separated, and I may seek legal relief from my fetters; but I want first to vindicate myself from Jewell's atrocious charge, and, if pos sible, to prevent the names of my rel atives from being dragged through the mire. I wish the consequences of my credulity and folly to fall on my own head." «*» A DOCTOR'S PREDICAMENT. Ebenezer Belden, of New York, in a Peck of Trouble. New Yokk,' Feb. I.— A visit to the surrogate's court at this time, while the will case the late Sally Peck is being tried, is to see a highly dramatic picture. Mrs. Peck was an eccentric old widow, who died leaving her fortune of $60,000 to Dr. Ebenezer B. Belden, an eminent New York physician. Her relatives arc contesting the will, on the "ground of undue influence, and they allege a great many criminal acts against the doctor. The contestants answer .with great closeness the description of the miser's relatives given by George Eliot in "Mid dleman^, and, like them, they were not on good terms with the deceased testator. The proponent of the will, Dr. Belden, on the other hand, looks the pattern of virtue and moral rectitude. It appears monstrous to charge him with the crimes asserted by the other side, and it is as interest ing as an evening with a comedian at the theater to watch the astonished indignation depicted on his countenance when the witnesses specify criminal acts against him. The doctor's position is certainly a delicate one: and, while his many friends have not the slightest doubt of his probity in the matter, they are shocked by the charges. It has its Amusing side, too, and many a silent laugh has resulted from his misfortune. 1)r.7 Belden stands very high* In the medical profession, and has ulwavs borne an unblemished reputation, •He was the family physician of John Roach? the famous shipbuilder, and spent night and day at his bedside when he lay prostrated by cancer. The doctor is the most innocent-looking man that can be imagined, and has always been consid ered by his acquaintances In the tight of an American Pickwick, lie is short and stout, with red cheeks, and a com plexion denoting indulgence In the good things of this life. (Jreyish side whiskers, cut in English style, wander ing blue eves that seem to gaze at one with a child's confiding belief, ami a bald pate are his most prominent phys ical characteristics. His age lies be tween fifty and sixty years, and during all this time not a whisper has ever been heard against him until now. It was his confiding belief In the goodness of human nature, a friend said to the writer, that induced him to appear as the legatee of Sally Peck. Had he known of the storm that his action has brought down upon him he would rather have thrown the $C«O,tKHJ into the sea, and never have mentioned it again. In fact, were it not that withdrawal is equivalent to an ad mission of the charges, he would long since have abandoned the legacy to his fierce opponents. Like his English pro totype, he has a knack for getting into muddles, but he has not the same reso lute pertenacity in getting out of them again. He has aged considerably in ap pearance since he became involved in the present predicament, and his old trunk, fearless gaze has changed into an uneasy air of drooping sadness. He is forced into the fight to stay, but, alas! whether he wins or loses he can never be the same old Bbenezer again. ' •» . THE LAW ALLOWED IT. The Anderson Telegraph Bill Calls Forth Some Remarks. New York, Feb. I.— "The law al lowed the Pacific railroad companies to make contracts with the telegraph com panies, and of course they did it. That's all 1 know about it." This was the an swer of C. P. Huntington yesterday morning when the Anderson bill was brought to his attention. The bill is to the effect that the government gave cer tain bonus and lands for the building of railroad and telegraph lines; that it was not intended that the latter enterprise should be given away to a monopolistic company as soon as built by government money, but maintained as an independ ent line. The hill calls upon the com panies to comply with their charters ami operate the telegraph system for the benefit of the people. Dr. Norvin Green, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, said: "The bill affects us very little, because we have our own wires there. Under the orig inal charter and the original railroad act there was a provision that the Cen tral and Union Pacific railroads (the telegraph was built before the railroads, you know,) might arranee with the Overlr.r.d Telegraph company and the California State. Telegraph company to establish their lines on the line of the railroad, and that such arraneement should be in substitution of the under taking by the railroads to build tele graph lines, but if no such arrange ments were made the telegraph com panies should have the right to estab lish lines on the railroad on their own account. We failed to come to an agreement with the railroad companies and we did. under the reserve right, build and establish our lines along the railroads. Not on their right of way, but on the right of way reserved for it under the act which creates them." "We were perfectly independent of them. Mr. Anderson's bill undertakes to pass upon the judicial question whether the railroads had the right to make a con tract with the telegraph companies. ■ The courts have already decided that they had such right. The question is a matter of much more importance to the. railroad companies than to us. We have our lines there, and the only damage it would do us would be to put us to the expense of a few more offices on the line of route. But as we should get all the receipts instead of giving the rail roads one-half, as we do now, our in creased expense would be more than met by the increased revenue." "■*■»- STILLWATER NEWS. Trains will arrive and depart from the union station on Monday morning next, although the formal opening will be postponed a week or so. The parents of Mrs. N. Patwell, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Landus, of Hammond, Dak., arrived here on a visit to their daughter after being snow-bound for a week. The new fire alarm circuit was thor oughly tested yesterday, and was found to work satisfactorily. The key to the boxes will be found* hanging at their right hereafter. yyyy^ 77.. Company X, M. N. G., wants recruits to the number of twenty-live, and in vites the young men of Stillwater to meet them at the armory this evening and enroll themselves, '-yyy Flam Greeley Marsh, youngest son of Fayette Marsh, will be just twenty-four hours old when those who read the Stillwater news of the Globe this morn ing see this item. The young lawyer and his mother are doing nicely, but the father's condition is regarded as precarious. A false alarm of fire from box No. 22, corner of Seventh and Holcomb streets, gave the department a brisk run at about la. m. and again at 2p. m. Some unknown 'party, for whose apprehen sion Chief Joy oilers a reward of §25, caused the mistake, but the boys got there just the same. The guild of Ascension church gave a musieale at the residence of Aid. W. S. Conrad last evening, which was largely attended. A programme of some fif teen numbers, including several read ings, was rendered by local talent. The musical numbers, both vocal and instru mental, were highly appreciated and warmly applauded. The body of George 11. Wilson, a man about thirty years of age, a former member of the Seventh United States regulars, was brought to this city from the lumber camp of Pat Sullivan, where he was killed by a limb of a falling tree. Wilson served under the name of Ger hard Watzel, and his discharge, dated May 0, 1882, is signed by John Gibbon, colonel. No one here knows anything about him further than this. Messrs. H. O. Fogel. general manager of the thresher company, this city, and late secretary and treasurer for C. Ault man, of Canton, 0., R. EL Dixon, super intendent, and R. S. Buchanan, secre tary and treasurer of the thresher com pany, arrived in the city yesterday, and passed the day inspecting the office and works. They expressed themselves as much pleased with the city and the in stitution in whose future' they are destined to play so important a part. It is expected that they will very soon en ter upon the active discharge of their duties. .y-'7 : y -<•»■■ ~'yl THE FISHERIES, An Understanding Will Soon Be Reached on the Vexed Question. Ottowa, Out.. Feb. 1.--The dispatch received here from Washington last night represented the fisheries negoti ations as being practically closed. In response to messages from Washington the departments here continue, how ever, to forward information for the use of the British and Canadian commission ers. It was intimated last night in a quarter likely to be well informed that an understanding would, it was ex pected be soon reached. Although ex treme reticence is still observed, it is in ferred from the language of the mem bers of the government that the pro posed arrangement is of a temporary character, pending a complete settle ment. Further, that Canada will open her ports to American shipping and re scind or modify the recent offensive regulations against vessels carrying the stars and stripes.

Cutting Live Stock Hates. Tin- war on livestock rates from Kan sas City, to Chicago is getting yery se vere. The Milwaukee & St. Paul; it is stated by the Chicago Tribune, is now securing much of the traffic by guaran teeing shippers to make the same time as is made by the direct routes, and if the cattle do not reach their destination within the stipulated time, the shipper is allowed a claim for damages. The road, it is claimed, is unable to make the same time that is made by the old direct routes, and consequently damages are paid to all shippers. This scheme is looked upon by other roads as an eva sion of the law prohibiting the payment of rebates, the payment of damages being virtually the same as the payment of rebates. It is further alleged that the St. Paul guarantees the shipper to charge the market rates prevailing at the time the shipment arrives at destination. By this arrangement shippers will get the benefit of any reductions in rates that may be made during the time the con signment is in transit. The Wabash, it is claimed, has a similar arrangement by which it allows shippers to bring in old claims, which are settled without investigation. Receiver M-cNutta, how ever, denies this, and says he could not do so because all claims have to be ex amined by the company and eosse quently the payment of fraudulent claims would be discovered. Prorating Freight. Chicago, Feb. I.— A committee of which Chairman Faithorn, of the North western Freight association; Traffic Manager Wicker, of - the Chicaco & Northwestern ;jGeneral Freight Agent Bird, of the St. Paul, and others are members, left for New York to-day for the purpose of conferring with Commis sioner Fink, of the Trunk Lines asso ciation, with regard to prorating freight from the seaboard to Northwestern points via Chicago. The co-operation of the Eastern lines is wanted in meeting the competition for this class of busi ness with the new "Soo" route and the Canadian Pacific. Too Much Snow. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, Feb. I.— On account of the deep snows in Northern Wisconsin, theßuluth, Red Wing &' Southern sur veying party working north from Rivet- Falls to-waids Duluth has been com pelled to suspend operations for the present, at least. The survey was two thirds completed, and a line roadbed had thus far been secured. The i|?.7>o,(X)o share of Red Wing in the proposed con struction company to build the road has nearly been secured, and the canvass will soon be commenced iv the other towns. A Handsome Present. Mr. Raymond Dv Puy, late general manager of the St. Paul & Kansas City road, was yesterday, on his retirement from the general management, pre sented by the officers and employes of the road with a handsome and valuable gold watch, chain and charm, a diamond stud, diamond cuff buttons and a solid silver cigar case. Mr. J. A. Hanley, traffic manager, made the presentation remarks. Mr. Dv Puy will leave in a day or two for Europe. Grasping for More. New York, Feb. I.— A conference is new being held between President In galls, of the Big Four road, and C. P. Huntington. It is said that they are ar ranging to take the Chesapeake & Ohio out of the hands of the receiver, and as soon as this is accomplished lugallswill be made*president of the Chesapeake & Ohio. Chips From the Ties. The Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City, the Central lowa, the Wabash Western JRaihvav company, the St. Joseph & Santa Fe roads have issued a joint freight tariff between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota Transfer and St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kan sas City, taking effect February 1, 1888. The holding back of freight on the North ern Pacific road, in order to hurry forward coal and fuel to the towns along the line, has been stopped, as the line is all open and the want of fuel does not now exist as it did a week or two ago. . On and after Feb. 10 the Manitoba will transport seed wheat, seed oats, seed flaxseed and seed barley in car loads and less quanti ties at half printed tariff rates. . The Burlington & Northern put into effect to-day a rate of $1.75 per ton on soft coal fromStrea tor, 111., to St. Paul and Minneap olis. J. M. Egan entered upon the duties of his new office as general manager of the St. Paul & Kansas City line. A. G.

Hudson, traffic manager of the Illinois Central, reached St. Paul in a private car, to attend the Carnival. MARINE IiAW. It May Be All flight, But It Seems \ Rather Queer Justice. St. Louis, Feb. I.— The Republican, in a series of interviews with the cap tains of the Missouri Pacific ferry boats, charges these men with deliberately forming the ice gorge, which threatened a million dollars' worth of property, and destroyed from $00,000 to $100,000 worth. Charles Zellar, captain of the Missouri, is reported as saying: "Yes, we choked her up. There was a channel about fifty yards wide and I went up with the Missouri aud Capt. Joe Zellar took the Pacific up, and we laid broadside of the channel. That stopped the fine ice, and as it was a cold night, it soon closed the opening. We did it simply to protect ourselves. If the boats up above us will not come down and help .keep this throat clear, we will have to stop it up and let them take their chances." The statements of the other river men in the vicinity confirmed those made by Capt. Zellar, and while it is frankly ad mitted that the river was deliberately gorged, it was for self-protection. "The case is simply this," said one; "if 1 can work my way up through the ice and make $10,000 by it,but smash up another boat by starting the ice down on it, I have a right to do it. That is marine law". m Hon. G. W. Schuyler Dead. New Yokk, Feb. Hon. George W. Schuyler, a descendant of Gen.
