Pugsley, of Battle Creek, accused of perjnry, has been going on fcfr two days. The late Amasa L. Clark, of Battle Creek, held a mortgage of $9,000 at the time of his death upon the farm owned by Calvin P. White.

He took White and one Morey into the plot, but the forgery was discovered, several criminal suits were brought and Moray was convicted. The present suit was for perjnry, alleged to have been committed by Pugsley in the civil suit brought to foreclosure the mortgage, in which the forged receipt was introducod as evidence. Pugsley evaded trial for eleven years. For forty-one terms of the Calhoun circuit this case has been regularly on the calendar for trial.

Y., June 11.—At the June circuit, now in session in this town, Justice H Boanlman Smith presiding, a verdict has just been reached in a suit for examplary damages, remarkable for the gravity of the offense charged, the high standing of the parties socially, and other sensational features.

Benham, a wealthy citizen of Utica, for $30,000 damages for alleged physical injuries and mental distress, caused by an assault under aggravated circumstances.

New York, June 11.—Norman Porter, a stenographer, living at 1'13 State street, Brooklyn, saw in a New York newspaper on Thursday an advertisement of West Cliff villa, Spuyten Duyvil, where seloet persons would bo received as summer boarders. His wife, Mrs. Esther E. Porter, set out alone to Spuyten Duyvil, to see whether the place would suit. Mrs. Porter is about 30 years old and is blonde and handsome. Chicago, June 1L—Thirteen hundred of the 3,100 men employed by the North Chicago rolling mills have already been thrown out of work on account of the coke famine caused by the Connellsville strike. There is still sufficient pig iron to keep the rail mill running until to-nljbt, when that department will also be shut down, and 750 more men will be laid off. It is expected that 150 men will be kept at work making repairs, besides the 150 employed on the docks. Otherwise the largest steel rail mill fn the oountry will be deserted by to-night The stoppage of the mills is the cause of considerable despondency in South Chicago. Of the 13,000 inhabitants there the employes of the mills, with their families, number 9,000, and the wages paid them amounts to over $135,000 per month. Tho employes are not particularly provident, and their failure to receive regular wages is calculated to work considerable hardship upon them unless there be a speedy termination of the strike.

OA Ridgeway's representations, indeed, appeal mora powerfully to the government's watchfulness ■of British interests in India than anything yet brought to their notice, and it is difficult to conceive, in the light of the complete tand formidable preparations against resistance already made by Russia, how a hostile meeting of British and Russian troops far within the boundary lines laid down by England can be averted. Although the strength of Russia's position on the frontier is much greater than it was at any time during the demonstration made upon the border by the czar's troops two years ago, no sign of relaxation of her military activity in that region is apparent, and the operations are confined to the sections skirting Afghanistan. On the northern frontier of Persia the greatest activity prevails, and guns, ammunition and military supplies are being hurried forward with all possible jpetf, Large forces of men are engaged in extending Ipranchcs of railway from Merv and Karachidftt, in Toorkestan, toward Meshed, Persia, and Hwat, Afghan lata*, and uo secrecy Is observed in concealing the fact that these are JRussia's objective points. At several points »on the new frontier, as delimitated by Russia herself, and particularly at Zulflkar Pass, Russian troops are being massed, and collisions with the Afghans, which will be the signal for a general forward movement, may be expected any day. As evidence that Russia's preparations for an active campaign on the Persian and Afghan frontiers are nearly, if not altogether, complete, it is observed that dark hints of war with England on a grand scale are more frequent in the Russian press than formerly, L-and though nothing is permitted to be published showing the actual extent of the operations finished and contemplated, a singular unanimity of belief ti expressed that whan next English engineers start out : in search of the northern boundaries of Afghanistan they will find them much farther than any map of the present day iloofttes Mr. Gladstone is perhaps more fully aroused to a moss of the dangers attending '.the present phase of the Afghan question than any other English statesmen, and it cannot now be doubted that his political detour, ;involving the abandonment of his well organised plan of determined and loag drawn .out obstruction to the crimes bill, was made rfor the purpose of hastening the Inevitable passage Of that measure in order that the Afghan matter might reosive the early parliamentary attention its increasingly imperative importance demands. Meanwhile the relations between Turkey and Russia have changed for the worse, and the two empires are drifting farther apart each day. The reoent alliances of the latter with certain European and Aslatlo powers have left Russia practically isolated, and the probability that the osar's government will find itself confronted with the necessity of settling the Bulgarian question simultaneously with its operations against England Is Afghanistan and Persia is growing into almost absolute certainty. During the last few months Turkey has been very active in stirring the Bulgarian regency into another attempt to enthrone a prince, and the Porte's action in sending out circulars to the powers requesting them to suggest a prinoe whose administration of the government of Bulgaria would be acceptable to them, well knowing that little or no attention would be' paid to her request, was taken with a view of •bowing to the regency the necessity for independent action on their part. As was expected by Turkey, the regency have announced that if the powers do not immediately nominate a prince they will ask the eobranje to sleot one of their own choice, and Tprkey now regards herself sufficiently independent of Russia to insist upon her recognition as the rightful ruler of Bulgaria.

The villa Is on Spuyten Duyvil hill, and is a handsome two ttory brick house with balconies. It is surrounded by ornamental and fruit trees and flvo acres of ground, Walter E. Lawton, who ran away on Manch 18 last, owing about $1,000,000, and of whom nothing has since been heard, lived there until he ran away. It was learned soon after his flight that he had sold the place to Mrs. Elizabeth Levick, of this city. Mrs. Levick's lawyers said that Mrs. Levick invested $30,000 in Lawton's phosphate scheme, and that she took the Spuyten Duyvil property for value received. Mrs. Levick has two sons, George and Walter M. Levick. and the brothers determined to start a sumnfer boarding house. George Levlck remained in charge of the place to Rhow the beauties of the spot to persons who applied for board. When Mrs. Porter rang the bell at the front door of the villa, about noon on Thursday, there were two servant girls in the house with George Levlck. The girls were busy scrubbing up the house. Levick showed Mrs. Porter over the villa, and then, the girls said yesterday, Levick and Mrs, Porter went to see another building on the property. Mrs, Ppriter did not return. Levlck came back about 4 o'clock, There was a heavy shower a little before 3 o'clock. The defence made a general denial of the alleged assault, and endeavored to impeaoh the chastity of the plaintiff and establish a case of blackmail against her. The testimony lntroduoed oh these points seemed of a vague and hearsay character. The jury listened to the arguments of a brilliant array of Counsel, and, after a brief charge by the judge, returned Into court with a verdict for plaintiff of $5*000 damages.

Cauley, of Dickinson college, gave his annual reception to the senior class Thursday evening. A crowd of undergraduates prowled around the mansion for several hours, peeping in at windows, exploring outbuildings, and even getting into the cellar in an attempt to steal the supper. This attempt the vigilance of the janitors frustrated. The intruders then cut off the gas, but the president was provided with lamps, and ready for the emergency. They next gathered under the windows, ntnglng and hooting most disrespectfully. A number of them then broke into his lecture room, which adjoins the dining room. Between these rooms is a strong door. With heavy tenpin balls they battered the door, and one of the balls was burled with suoh foree as to crash through the panels and across the next room, where the president's daughter and seyeral guests were sitting.
