The holding for ransom of Miss
Stone, by brigands in Turkey, for
^i io.ooo, is creating considerable
stir in the States. Some are in fa
vor of letting the brigands keep
lady, who is an American mission
ary, and others are endeavoring to
raise the amount demanded, bv
popular subscription. It is said
that the government will force the
Porte to pay the ransom and to
use s icn measures that will cause
the abandonment of this profitable
*
industry in future.
Sir Thomas Liptou is still claim
ing that.his boat, the Shamrock, is
superior to the Columbia. Five
straight delealS cannot convince
him to the contrary. Still Sir L,ip
lon’s doctrine is to always accept
defeat gracefully.
The great ’Frisco strike is over.
The men have returned io work,
but are still dissatisfied and threat
en to strike again. Over iooomen
were shot and beaten during the
14 weeks lock-out.
Caleb Powers, once convicted as
accessory to the murder of Goebel,
has been granted a new trial by
the Supreme Court of Kentucky on
a legal technicality.
