A Notable Dinner on Board the
Frigate Constellation.
Ni;w London, July 31. Capt. Nathan
iel Richards, who has been a whaler all
his life, until old age forced him to give
up the sea, was the guest of the officers
of the United States frigne Constella
tion 011 Sunday evening at dinner. Capt.
Richards is in his 04th yenr, and what
makes his visit rcmarahlc is that it was
the Constellation which rescued him
from the Chilians seventy years
ago. In. 1821 Capt. Richards sailed
from Stonington on a sealing voy
age. He got around to the coast
of Chili, was captured with others
while ashore, was taken to the interior,
and put to work in the mines. For six
or seven months he toiled for his masters,
brutally treated and half starved. At
last an opportunity offered for escape,
lie made for the coast, hotly pursued,
but he reached there, und stealing a boat
he made a long and terilous voyage
until the Constellation came into view.
He was taken on board and ate his first
hearty meul since leaving his own vessel.
He remained on board until the frigate
returned home.
This incident came to the knowledge of
1 lie officers ol tlic vessel now in the har
bor, anil they sent a courteously written
inviiationto the aged seaman request
ing the pleasure of his company at din
ner. Capt. Kichards accepted, and the
Constellation's steam launch tuck him
Irom the shore to the (rigate, where he
was received with due honors. He was
seated at the post of honor, and the of
ficers made much of him. As the old
gentleman's mind is clear and his mem
ory retentive he did his share in making
the event an interesting one for his en
tertainers. This is the first time he had
seen the vessel since it brought him home
in 1H-M. N. Y. Sun.

A Celebrated Cane Cloned by the
President.
Washington, July 31, The president
has recently acted upon several pardon
cases one of which was that of Captain
George . Armcs. The occurrence which
led to the trial by court-martial, of Cap
tain Amies created considerable comment
t the time it took place. Captain
Arnies, at the time- of the inauguration of
President Harrison, was a retired army
thecr, living in Washington. On inau
urution day Captain Amies received
0111c fancied grievance from sonic Penn
sylvania officials. A lew evenings after
ward he mil Governor Heaver, of Penn
sylvania, in the lobby of a hotel and pub-
icly insulted mm, even going so lar as to
pull Ins nose.
Captain Amies was tried bv court-
martial for conduct unbecoming an of
ficer and a gentleman, was found guilty
mil sentenced to dismissal from the
army. 1 he president subsequently com
muted this sentence, and ordered that
Captain Amies be restricted within a
limit of fifty miles of the District of Co
lumbia lor a iei iod ol three years. Upou
recommendation of the secretary of war
the president has now commuted this
sentence, and Captain Armcs in future
can go where he pleases.

here ai a fugitive from justice from Ala

About a year ago, while living at Bir
mingham Wheldon, or Strong, had bis
life insured for $30,000. A few days
afterwards his hat, clothes and shoes
were found on the river bank where he
had left them to create the impression
that he was drowned. His wife then ap
plied for the insutance money, but the
company refused to pay it, claiming that
Y hcldon was not dead. Suit was brought
to recover the money and the case is still
(lending in the Alabama courts.
Before leaving Birmingham Wheldon,
its said, forged the name of his father-in-
law, George It. McMann, to two notes
for $400 each. Detectives have been on
his track ever since and he was located
here. Saturday Detective Starke, of
Birmingham, was here with requisition
paiers and will take his man back.
TRIED TO KILL, HIMSELF.
Attempted (suicide of Colonel
Leybourne In Koine.
RoaiK,Juty 31. Colonel Leybourne,
well-known in New York in connection
with the Catholic banking scheme, at
tempted filicide here Monday by disem
boweling himselt with a razor. He now
lies with little hope of recovery. Mone
tary losses are aaid to have been the
cause.
The news of the attempt suicide of
Celonel Leybourne in Rome, says the
New York livening Telegram, brings up
what was one of the most extraordi
nary financial enterprises ever heard of.
The dream of a Universal Catholic Bank
was founded on the project conceived by
this Scotch soldier of fortune. His
scheme looked forward to nothing less
than uniting all Roman Catholics in
their interest in a great bank; to trans
acting the business of the Roman Catho
lic world; to utilizing the enormous in
fluence of the Catholic Church as the
power which was to build up a financial
enterprise rivaling its religious parent in
its possibilities.
