BEATING AT BACCARAT Sir William Gordon dimming Relates His Story of the Scandal. flis Highness of Wales At tracts a Very Fashionable Audience. tlany of England's Wealthy and Noble Throng the Court. Ko Room for the Common Rabble at This Fashion able Event. London", June 1. — The high court of Justice to-day presented a scene, inside and out, such as could be witnessed, probably in no other city in the world. Prominent members of the "high nobil ity" were to appear as principals in a sensational trial— a gambling scandal —and the assured appearance of the heir apparent as one of the principal •witnesses proved sufficient to draw to the vicinity the usual crowd of sight- Beers who naturally gather at the scene of all important trials. The latter waited patiently, laughing and jesting, playing practical jokes, and guying everybody guyable, enjoying the warm lunshine and eager to obtain even the faintest glimpse of the celebrities in the world of the "upper ten" who were Bxpecled to -be present. Inside the court room resembled the scene of some highly fashionable recep tion, rather than a grim law court, where an important case was to be brought to trial. Women, strange to say, predominated in the audience, ana in the long gallerie, ladies, charm ingly brilliant in triumphs of the mod iste's art, filled the whole available »pace. Others, more favored and equally bewitchingly dressed, occupied reserved seats on the bench. All the ladies wete talking in on animated manner and flashing their lorgnettes here and there, Studying out the identity of everybody of note present, and criticising the most conspicuous costumes in the most lively manner. One and all. ladies and gen tlemen, were most eager for the "show," for such to them it seemed to be, to begin in real earnest. The occasion for all this was the trial of the Famous Baccaral Mcanda], otherwise the action of Sir William Gordon dimming against Mr. and Mrs. Lyeett Green, Mrs. Arthur Wilson, Arthur Wilson and Berkeley Lovett for slander before Lord Chief Justice Cole ridge in the queen's bench division of her majesty's high court of justice. Lord Coleridge, in disposing ot the Beats in the court room, had to resist much pressure from swarms of aristo cratic notabilities, male and female, who desired to be present and who seemed to be under (he impression that they had a right to be present and that it was for the lord chief justice to see that this alleged right was respected. But Lord Coleridge was not so easily "bulldozed." He gave orders that admission to the court was to be by special tickets only, and he announced that he would be able to accommodate only a few of the most distinguished applicants with seats beside him on the bench, reserving the main body of the court tor members of the bar, witnesses, jurymen and about thirty-five newspaper representa tives. The first tremor of excitement •was caused by the arrival in the court room of Sir William Gordon dimming, the plaintiff, accompanied by his coun sel. Solicitor General Clarke and Mr. Gill. Opposed to these legal lights are Sir Charles Russell, as chief counsel, Jlr. Asquith, Q. C, and Arthur Russell. The plaintiff was cool and calm, but ap parently not in the best of humor. The legal lights were evidently conscious of the conspicuous position in which they were placed and seemed rather to enjoy the fusillade of glances from bright fe male eyes to which they were exposed until the Prince of Wales made his ap pearance. EXTEK THE PRIXCE. Wales, the Royal Good Fellow, At- tends as a Witness. London, June I.— The heir apparent entered the court shortly after 11 D'elock, accompanied by his private secretary, Sir Francis Norris, K. C. M. G. Both the prince and his secretaay passed through the court room, the buzz of half-whispered conversation ceasing as the prince was recognized, and were escorted to seats especially re- Berved for them on the ben?h. No soon er was the prince seated than the jury was sworn, and Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, taking his seat on the bench and addressing the solicitor general. Sir Edward Clarke. Q. C, leading counsel for the plaintiff, said in substance that be desired that the Prince of Wales should be kept in court as short a time as possible. To this the solicitor general replied that he could not say exactly when the Prince of Wales would be called upon to give his testimony In the case, but he begged to assure the lord chier justice that he desired most heartily to serve the prince's conven ience so far as possible. Sir Edward Clarke, amid almost breathless silence, then solemnly and senteutiously opened the case for the plaintiff, lie said that the charge was a most serious one. The lolicitor geircral detailed the circum stances of the now famous card party at Tanbycroft, Arthur Wilson's resi dence, during the Doncaster meeting. In September. IS9O. Baccarat, said the solicitor general, had never before been played at Tanbycroft. It would behis duty t to put the Prince of Wales ana Gen. Owen Williams in the witness box, and their testimony would Batisfy the jury that they saw nothing wrong on the part of Sir William Gor don Cumming, whose system of play •was to double his stakes if he lost un til he lecovered his losses, and then he reverted to his original stake. After having cleverly outlined the situation, Sir Edward, dropping his clear, sharp, business-like and matcer-of-fact state ment of the case, concluded his address l>y making a brilliant, eloquent and passionate appeal to the jury on behalf of his client, who he claimed, was plain ly the victim of circumstances and of a false desire to- avoid a scandal ■which would have implicated his hosts at Tanbycroft and his old friends who played baccarat with him there. Sir William Gordon Cumming, the plaint iff, then entered the witness box in a perfectly cool manner, and with a cer tain amount of jauntiness in his de meanor. He answered Sir Edward Clarke's questions in a clear and well pitched voice, which could be heard all over the court room, and kept his back turned, towards the Prince of Wales, a fact which was considerably commented upon unfavorably by the audience. DAILY ST. PAUL GLOBE. OX THE STAND. Plaintiff Relates His Story of the Famous Card Game. London", June I.— While giving his testimony to-day, Sir William Gordon dimming was the typical aristocrat, lie leaned easily on the edge of the wit ness box, coolly surveying the court and the evidence, seemingly confident of himself and his case. lie said that the I'rince of Wales acted as banker upon the occasion referred to, and that Gen. Williams was the croupier. His (the plaintiff's) attention was not called the first night, Sept. 8, to the complaint made against him. On the following evening, he said, when dressing for dinner. Lord Coventry and Gen. Williams came to him in his bed room at Tanbycroft. and the former said: "Gumming, something very disagree able has occurred. Some people stay ing here have objected to your manner of playing baccarat." - To this he replied: "My God! What do you mean?" Lord Coventry, the plaintiff said, then repeated his former remark, adding that people said that he (Cumming) had, while playing baccarat the previous evening, resorted to foul play. The plaintiff said that he then replied that this was a foul, abominable charge and a deliberate falsehood, addine. address ing Lord Coventry and Gen. Williams: "What am Ito do? You two are my old friends. For goodness' sako say what is to b<: done." The plaintiff then remarked that he added to this request, that he placed the whole matter en tirely in their hands, and that, after dinner, at the suggestion of Lord Cov entry and Gen. Williams, he, the plaintiff, had an interview with the Wince of W ales, to whom he repudiated the charge brought against him, and said: "Your royal highness will see what a terrible thine this is for me— l, who have been attempting for twenty years to lead the lire of an officer and a gentle man." To this, according to the plaintiff, the Prince of Wales replied: "What can you do? There are five accusers." Sir William said that he answered: "My first impulse is to publicly insult my accusers upon the race course to morrow." To this the Prince of Wales, the plaintiff testified, replied: "W ? hat is the use of that? There are five people against you." Continuing, Sir William said that half an hour after his interview witli the Prince of Wales he was summoned to another room, where he found Lord Coventry and Gen. Williams, who told him that the only way to avoid a "hor rible scandal" was to sign the document which Had already been produced and read in court by Sir Edward Clarke. The plaintiff added: "1 .said, 'Why this is tantamount to an admission of guilt;' but I was event ually persuaded to sign the document, believiuc that 1 could trust my honor to Gen. Williams and Lord Coventry, whom I regarded as being true and in timate friends." Sir William further testified that on the second night of the baccarat games at Taubycroft on Sept. 5, lb'.h), the Prince of Wales was banker, and that Arthur Wilson won five "coups" run ning, which Sir William thought was very good "for a novice." At the end of tl c game, the plaintiff con tinued, the Prince of Walts laugh ingly said: "Cumining. how came you to win so much?"— referring to the fact that 1 had won £225 in two nights' play. To this 1 replied: "Well, sir, I could not help winning with such luck," showing the prince a card oil which 1 had kept marked under the the headings of "banker" and "player" the exact number of times which the banker or player had won during the evening's play" The baronet concluded his testimony with a solemn and im- Dressive denial that he ever cheated at cards at Tanbycroft or anywhere else. The cross-examination of the plaintiff was then commenced by Sir Charles Russell, leading counsel for the de fendants. The plaintiff said he had no reason to suspect malice upon the part of any of the defendants. Sir Charles then carelessly glanced at a paper, and turning towards the plaintiff, who had evidently nerved himself to face Sir- Charles' fire, continued: "And does this express your opinion" (reading): "The worst of it is that I feel that they are acting perfectly conscientiously in the matter, and they believed that they did see me resort to foul play." "Par don me," cried Sir William quickly, drawing himself up, his eyes spark ling, and his whole manner denoting considerble excitement, "are you reading from any let ter of mine?" Sir Charles Russell re plied: •" Yes; cdoes it express your feelings?" "Yes," replied the plantiff, sharply. Answering another questiou put to him by Sir Charles Russell, the plaintiff said that he had received a memorandum signed by the Prince of Wales and by Lord Coventry and Gen. Williams, saying that the signers of the memorandum did not desire to be un necessarily hard, but he (Sir William) must clearly understand that, in the face of the overwhelming evidence present ed, it was useless to attempt to deny the accusation against him. and that, so lone as he complied with the condi tions set forth in the document, silence would be maintained. The court was then adjourned until to-moirow. ARBITRATION ON SEALS. Blame Desired Britian Should Propose a Close Season. London, June I.— The recent corre spondence of the Behring sea fishery question is published. On April 17 Sir Julian Pauncefote received a cablegram from Lord Salisbury expressing ap proval of Secretary Blaiue's suggestion for a cessation ot seal catching pending the award of the proposed board of arbitration.

Jjeo's Christian Charity. London. June I.— Cardinal Manning has issued an official translation of the pope's encyclical on social ques tions. The Times, referring to the en cyclical, says: "It Is doubtful whether the questions are handled with success. Yet it abounds in remarks that deserve attention, and it breathes throughout £ spirit of Christian charity." AN OHIO BLUEBEARD, Horrible Story of an Unnat ural Husband and Father. Seven Wives Treated Like Dog-s, Six Being Done to Death. A Tale of Barbarity That Would Disgrace a Canni bal Chief. Youthful Lovers Die to Avoid Separation— Series of Do mestic Wrong's. Sydney, Ohio, June I.— George Rhinehart, of Clay township, is a mod ern Bluebeard in effect, though his methods are slower, but scarcely less brutal. Rhinehart is a German, about 55 years of age, robust of frame, violent of temper, and forbidding in appear ance. He lias lived for years a half isolated life on an out-of-the-way farm in CJay township. For years he has been an object of suspicion, but only in the last few days, and mainly then through the awful exposure of a paper of this place, has his atrocious character been exposed and the people aroused. The law will now be given a chance. If it fails to act Rhinehart is likely to see a long night. lie lives in a tumble-down house, around which he has erected a high fence. Inside this are a drove of pigs, a dozen dogs, and filth beyond description. When twenty-seven years of age he married eighteen-year-old Nanny McKinnon, of Logan county. He made her a slave at once. She Worked In the Fields like a serf and stood unnamable abuses. In four years she became the mother of three children and then died. A month later he married Christina Palter, aged twenty-eight. She was treated as her predecessor had been, and in two years was in her grave.leaving also three puny children. Christina Schlichtig next came into the fatal house a servant. Soon she yielded to Rhinehart. then married him. One year of life as rthine harfs wife 'brought her, an emaciated, hopeless wreck, to the grave. Her sister, who came to nurse her, became by force a victim to her brother-in-law, then his wife." She was more rugged than her sister, and put in seven years of beat ings, half-starvation, and abuses not to be mentioned; then died a week after becoming the mother of her fifth child, at the close of a day's work hoeing corn for her taskmaster. Rhinehart remained single almost a year, then married a wjdow named Teland, a woman of forty, with throe children, and at once Started on Hi** Old Plan. She plowed corn, chopped wood, did the household work, added tour other children to the family besides thosessho brought with her, and died in less than four years. The sixth wife was Eliza beth Bechtel, a spinster of forty. The same routine ensued, and in just twenty-three months she died, leav ing two wee babies. It was not long until the seventh wife came into the family, but she was different. She wouldn't work; beatings, abuse, and cruelties had no effect. She became the mother of one child and then fled. Weary of wives and deserted by his elder daughters, who fled to preserve their honor, he took into the crowded house last fall a twelve-year-old daugh ter of his eldest, son. She is now a mother, the eighth known victim of her grandfather. The feeling in that sec tion is something terrible, and positive action will be taker, in the next twenty four hours. The people are dum founded at their own neglect. It is whispered that two of the human devil's own daughters are victims of his fiend ish nature. TOGETHER THEY DIED. Two Youthful Illinois Lovers Take Poison for Love. Galena, 111., June I.— Two youthful lovers. Miss Ada Townsend and Elmer Foster, living in Rush township, this county, committed suicide last night. They had been out for a drive during the evening and returned late.

They had taken strychnine, which they had hidden for the purpose, the deed having been long contem plated. The girl's father is wealthy, while Foster was a farm hand, and her parents opposed the union. HUMAN FRAILTY. Three Cases of Woman's Weak ness and Man's Depravity. Manchester, 'I'enn., June I.— A. V.

Sedalta, Mo., June I.— George Burn ham, a young railroad man, suspected his wife, aged twenty, of infidelity. He accused her of this, but she denied it emphatically. Angered by her denial, he bound and gagged her. He seated her in a chair, lit one match after another and scorched her flesh until, in an agony of pain, she signified by signs that she would con fess. She was unloosed and then told her husband the story of her unfaith fulness, naming a number of men with whom she acknowledged having been intimate. When she had finished, Burn ham instead of swearing vengeance on the heads of the men decided that his wife and he should leave town, which they did Saturday. Burnham will leave his wife with her parents in Illi nois. Waco, Tex.. June I.— On Sunday a couple went to a hotel and registered as Carlos Silas and wife. They were ap parently devoted to each other, the woman being especially fond. Later a telegram was received asking . for the arrest and detention of Silas on a charge of adultery. He was jailed.

Ottawa, Ont., June I.— Sir John Macdonald's hours are numbered. All day he has exhibited an increasing weakness, and as a precautionary measure, he is awakened by his attend ants every two hours. The heart's ac tion is becoming 'more feeble, indicat ing that life's fires are burning very low. To-day saw no cessation of the rush towards Farnscliffe. At the ap proaches on Sussex street a long line of vehicles blocked the roadway, aud the curious throng, including many ladies, pressed up to the very gates in their anxiety to learn the latest news. The question of the leadership is being anxiously discussed. The general opin ion is that Sir John Thompson will be the next premier, although a majority of the Western members favor Sir Charles Tupper. The French Conser vatives are almost a unit for Sir John Thompson, and many insist upon his appointment. The matter, to " a very considerable degree, rests with the gov ernor general, who. it Is said, learned the premier's wishes during the elec tion campaign. Sir Charles Tupper at that time was his choice. lion. J. J. C. Abbott i 3 also strongly spoken of. In the senate this afternoon a bulletin from Dr. Powell Jwas read, stating that Sir John Macdonald was sinking and that the end was uot far off. It is un derstood that Sir John has left directions in his will to be buried at Kingston Ont. Montreal, June I.— Sir John Mac donald's illness and the possible polit ical complications that may ensue in the Canadian premier's death is having a marked effect on stocks, and the Mon treal market to-day was very weak and "panicky, ba"nk stocks and general stocks all showing a weak tendency. The general feeling on the street is that on Sir John's death there will be a sudden break in stocks, and the feeling is an uneasy one. TonoNTo, Ont.. June I.— Discussing the question of what will follow in the event of Sir John Macdonald's demise, the Globe, the principal organ of the Liberal party, says: "Hints have been thrown ont about a coalition, but that is out of the question. The Liberals would not coalesce with Sir Charles Tupper or Sir Hector Langevin upon any terms nor join with Abbott or Sir John Thompson, except upon a clear under standing that the national policy should be abandoned in favor of free trade with the United States. The Liberals are prepared, putting public considera tions first, to do everything that is fair and reasonable, but they cannot be ex pected to condone things which they have condemned or to support a fiscal policy which they know to be wrong." BRAZIL IS PROSPEROUS. A Flattering Outlook for the Young Republic. Washington. June 1. — Kecent in formation from Brazil gives a flattering account of the financial situation in that Republic. By a decree of the provisional government, which has now become the constitutional government of Brazil, all import duties are made payable in gold, and it is estimated that receipts from that source this year will aggregate $70,000,000. The remittances to Europe for interests on debt and on guarantees of interest on enterprises whose shares are held there, and for purchases of was and railroad material, diplomatic and consular service, will aggregate but $15,000,000. Now when the liquidation of many of the doubtful enterprises is at hand, the government is beginning to relax its hold on its accumulation of gold, and the country, with excellent crops or its staple products, finds its ex ports increasing in a remarkable man ner, reducing the trade balance against Brazil with Great Britain and France and increasing the balance in its favor against Germany, as well as that against the United States, which must be, for the most part, liquidated in London. The present crop of coffee is very large, the deliveries for January and Februaiv of this year aggreg&ting 110,000 tons, and the next crop is estimated at 757, --500 tons. Kubber is firm and very high. Competent judges estimate the total ex portations from Brazil for 18'Jl will amount to £200,000, which, . with the ruling high prices for ths leading arti cles of export, will render the financial condition of Brazil sound and easy. OUR FOREIGN TRADE. Change in Favor of the United States in Costa Rico, Washington, June Trade statis tics of Costa Rico for the year show a remarkable change in imports, the United States now having a larger trade with Costa Rico than England, France or Germany. The total value of imports this year was $4,250,000, of which the United States furnished $1,500,000. A report from the British consul to his government just made public expresses surprise that the United States should now stand first on the list, when a few years ago its shipments did not nearly' aDproach those of Great Britain, tie adds that this "requires some looking into," and that as soon as the official figures appear in detail he will-endeavo r to ascertain what are the articles im ported that have superceded those of. former years." The total exports for the year amount to $6,600,000. The coffee crop was 220,000 sacks, of which 145,000 went to Great Britain and 45,000 to the United States. mi* Money Made in a Month. ■ Washington, June I.— The coinage at United States mints for May shows: Gold — number of pieces, 75,000, of the value of $2,591,831.

D., June 1. — Late Sunday afternoon this vicinity was visited by the heaviest rain storm since July, 1889, and, from the fact that the ground was already thoroughly soaked, the streams, gulches and canyons soon became mighty rivers. The water fell in sheets and within an hour's time the business portion of the city was flooded, almost every mercantile establishment beinir overflowed. Cellars were filled, side walks and small buildings carried away before the powerful waves like chaff. In a whirlwhind on the main street ot the city the water was nearly four feet deep in the canal, fully eight inches higher than ever known. At this writ ing it is impossible to estimate the amount of damage done, but it will reach into thousands of dollars. The railroads have suffered heavy loss, and, from present indications, the travel will be retarded for twenty-four hours at least. No loss of life is reported. Ad vices from Deadwood are to the effect that the Ilomestake narrow guaire road is badly washed out.
