By Telegraph to the Post. Dispatch. New Yor«, October 29.—Judge Bartlett, in the Supreme Court of Brooklyn, yesterday, granted a writ of habeas corpus on the application of H. W. Leonard for the release of Charles E. Richards, con- fined in Dr. J. W. Barstow's Private Asylum for the Insane at Flushing, L.L In his petition Leonard says Mr. Richards is restrained from his liberty and was committed without process. The writ was made returnable November 1, at 10 a m. Mr. Leonard is the lawyer who secured the release of Mrs. Wiley, who was confined in the same asylum. It is the saine institution in which Henry Prouse a was a prisoner, and is known as Sanford The case of Charles E. Richards is one of special ne He isa yoy vera man, between 35 and 40 y of age, over 6 feet , With sandy mustache and beard. ‘He has been in the asylum since 1874, and, though it is claimed heis perfectly sane, he has been. kept in: solitary confinement. He comes from one of the oldest and most respected families in Philadelphia. His father was Benjamin ; Richards, who was mayor of Philadelphia in years gone by. His mother was sister of Dundas, an Earl of Scotland. who came to this country sand established a business in Philadelphia. His place was on the corner of Chestnut and Fourteenth streets, and was known throughout the State. Lord Dundas never returned to Scotland but accumulated a fortune and event- ually died in the Quaker City. Before his death his sister was o to Benjamin W. Richards, a rep- resentative of one of the oldest families in the State. Mr. Richards was very wealthy and owned a ree portion of the property which now constitutes Fair- mount Park. is property he subsequently sold to the city Hehad four children: wae op iewtad lina, Howard and Charles E. Howard Ric is & prominent lawyer in Philadelphia and was married io @ Miss Mayo, a niece of Genera! Scott. The only daughter, Selina, is the wife of General R. Lawrence. A gentleman who has known the family intimately for thirty years said to your correspondent yester- day: Charley was a tall, handsome blonde, and one of the most jovial fellows I ever knew. He never, during all the time that I associated. with him, showed any signs of insanity. The last time I saw him was, I think, in 1868. I did not know what had become of him uatil the othe: day, whenI was told he was in ap asylum. 1 WAS AMAZED, I knew his family well. Charley and his mother, who was asister of Lord Dundas, spent a number of years in Paris. It wasthere that Mrs. Richards died. Mr. Richards died in Philade phia. He ‘eft considerable property, which was divided among bis children. Charley wasa bachelor and spent a rtion of histime in Paris and this city. His rother, | believe, considered him somewhat wiid. He had rooms m-the city. When the wart broke out I enlisted and Chariey served in the se Sgn Sogn which So Philadelphia, -This body was - com - tle all of whom ~were tall. well built _fel- lows. As I have said, I did not know he was in an insane asylum until the other day.” Mr. Le says that his @trention was called to the case by” persons who were connected with the asylum iss Oddie Price, who was a nurse in the insticution for four months, was the first to speak to him of Richards. She said she beheved him PE‘UFECTLY SANE. Mrs. Henrietta Wiley, whose release from the asy- lum be secured on September 7, said that she saw Mr. Richards there. He always acted like a perfect gentieman and never showed any symp toms of insanity. Mr. Leonard says that he also _ received information from otuer sources which goes to show that Richards is pres pore restrained. Ten years ago, he says, Rich- ard quarreled with his brother inthe law office in Philadelpais. Shortly after that be was brought to this city, and thence taxen to Flushing under the pretense of seeinga frieud. lle was placed in Dr. Barstow's asylum without a lega! commitment,as it is claimed. Twice he attemp to escape, but each time he was captured before he could get away. Dr. Barstow, Mr. Leonard says, is receiving $45 4 week for keeping Mr. Richards. As far as the law- yer can learn, there is no motive tor depriving Rich- ards of his freedom. The unfortunate man is worth $35,000, or more, which was leit him by his father.

New York, October 29.—Henry Braham, the the- atrical manager, has brought suit in the Supreme Court of Kings Quunty for absolute divorce against his wife, Helen Louise Branam, or, as she is beiter known, Lillian Russell, the well-known actress who fied from this city with Edward Solomons to Eng- land and is now playing a successful engagement in London. Solomons, who is named as the ce- respondent in the bill is the author of several Eng- glish comic operas, among them “‘Billee Tayior,” “Claude Duva!” and “Viryinia.” The piaintiff al- leges that the intimacy between Lillian Russell and Solomons began in January, 1883, atid that it still continues. As a further proof of his aMagations the plaintiff asserts that a child has been born to the defend&nt since her association with Solomans. The proceedings now taken have long been looked for by the members ot the dramatic profession. At the time of her elopement, Lillian was singing the lead- ingw@ede in the “Princess of Trebizonde” at the Ca- sino in this city under the manageinent of John A. McCaull. She was under contract to Manager Field of the Boston Museum on the following week. While atthe Casino Solomons’ attentions excited gossip and finally it became known that Lillian had left the ence of her mothor and sister on Ninth street mew yee up her residence with Solomons. Mr. Braham was in Boston on professional business at the time. Miss Russeil packed her wardrobe at the theatre June 8 and she and Solomons took on a steamer for England.

Death of the Famous Long-Distance Gel- ding—His Record. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, October 29.—Admirers of the old- fashioned style of racing at long-distance heats will regret to hear that its most recent exponent, Bush- whacker, the aged gelding, by Bonnie Scotland and first of the get of Annie Bush, was yesterday de- stroyed by Superintendent Olare at Brighton Beach, on account of injuries received while being trained to jump; while others will be glad to learn they will be spared the infliction of seeing the famous old borse stumbling “ ‘oross country.” Bushwhacker was foaled in 1874 and bred by J. A. McCormack. He was a sensational horse from the outset, his first mishap being thathe, withhis dam. were stolen while Bushwhacker wasa suckling, and conceaied for some time in the Tennessee woods. He was de- rided when first brought out fora race at Jerome Park in 1877 for his stunted and mulish appearance. His next sensation was when, in 1878, then the prop- erty of T. W. Doswell, be won at Baltimore at two- mile heats in 3:35 and 3:38. Princeton winning sec- ond in 3:364g. At therame meeting he placed the Bowie stakes, four-mile heats, to his credit; Prince- ton winning first heat in 7:31, and he the next two and the race in 7:3654 and 8:29. He did not run as a 6-year-old (1880), in 1881 he did but little, but in 1868, asthe property of G. B. Bryson he capt ured the rich great Long Island stakes at the Sheepshead Bay fa!l meeting, winning in two straight heats in 8:10}6 and 8:10. The memory of this race is still green in che minds of the present race-goers, the day's racing being decided in one of the heavi- est rainstorms witnessed. A month later, m the same year, he repeated his toon 4 of 1878, and se- cured his second Bowle, the last four-mile heat race which has ever been run or probably ever wiil be in this country. Ella Warfield took the first heat in 7:354g and Bushwhacker the next two and the race in 7:46 and 8:00lg. Last year he did but littie, and this season he ran but four times, thrice at Saratoga aud in the Autumn Cup at Coney Island.

If any one has doubts that Dion Boucicault has just right to be considered the masculine Ninon de l'Enclos, he would have had them very readily dis- pelied if behad shared with a Post Dispatcs re- porter this morning the pleasure of a fifteen-minute chat with the youthful sexagenarian, The sixty- two eventful years which Mr. Boucicault has en- joyed have changed somewhat the color of his hair, but beyond th s, by no means reliable indication of age, he gives no sign of an approach to the biblical standard of longevity. His step is as light, his eye as clear and bis voice as mellow and resonant as ever, and his Halifax-grey ulster falis in graceful am diculars down a figure still free from that abdominal enlargement which so often sets in at middie age, and becomes a permanent disfigurement until “the r good a man as ever, physi- pe in living In and i S travel during his present engagement, and that before ve long its apparent advantage will have many converts. Ive one knows, or ht to know, that the big eee are qresmnesand 7 round the country in their own cars. That is what Mr. Boucicault is doing, he and his company now living on & special hotel car by name the “Shaughraun,” which at present siands on the Missouri Pacific track about a couple of blocks north of the Union = “We find this kin‘ of life a great improvement on that provided in hoteis,” he said to the reporter. “We have better food and we have it when we want it. There are berths in the car for eighteen le besides the accommodations for myself and son and daughter, who travel with me. Now just see where the advantage comes in. Traveling by an or- dinary train, we arrive at a city,say, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We are hungry and want to eat, but the hotel puople tell us we are too iate for dinner and too early for supper. As itis, with our own kitchen availabie, we order our meal at such hour as we feel like it and PREPARE FOR THE PERFORMANCE in comfort and at our leisure gain the necessities of travel cali for a start sometimes at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, If stopping at an hotel the mere tar | ‘are obliged up at an exceed- ingly uncomfortabie hour, an¢d go out into the cold without breakfast. When they Lae up here, on a similar occasion, it is at 8 or 9 o'clock the morn- ing and they find themselves 150 miles advanced on their journey. As far as the expense Bnew there is no difference, but there would be a decided advant- age in favor of this way of living if the railroad companies would be more reasonable. They charge double rates for these two which are carried along with the reguiar trains. I don’t know of any reason why they do so; lexpect itis because they have the povver.”’ lhe reporter went through the hotel car, which,.2s it was undergoing a very thorough cleaning up, did not present as @sthetic ap appearance as it is said to do under ordinary circumstances. The bagg and kitchen car attached was a more interesting object. The front part of 't is occupied by berths, the central portion by tha kitchen, while the rear end is arranged for the receptien of a monstrous wagon containing the scenery P This is loucted at the theater, aud, after a journey . through the streets to the depot, is rum ap an in- clined plane upon the car where it fics snugly, and remains until the next stand is reached. 4 “My people prefer this kind of life to the hotels,” - said Mr. Boucicault. ‘They don’t have to walt for their meais and heuce have much more leisure time forenjoyment. Their meals are better cooked and more enjoyable, and the result of this improved t condition of affairs is that, when they go u the 5 stage, they are in the finest possible condition for , their work.” . “Yes,” said Mr. Boucicault in response to an al- lusion to his new play, “I have written an Irish his- tor! al Jrama called ‘Robert Emmett’ which Iam = going to bring outin Chicago next Wednesday— ‘ the day after the Presidential election, when e people's minds wi.i be taken off from the one topic which now interests them. The play is 4 THOROUGHLY HISTORIOAL, : only three of the vightaen characters being fictitious. Of late Robert Emmett has not occupied as much attention as ne used, but I ‘hink this play will re vive interest in him. I have submit a copy of the play to the Lord Chamberiain of England, but I doubt that he wil! give mea license. i. my letter tohimlI wrote that if, during his perusal of the play, he discovered anything init which was uot true, or any distortion of historiva! events, I should be glad to alter it. I know, however, that no such t discovery can be made. If he does ‘icense the play a I shall look for a row over its production, bnt I have Se faced Loudon audiences before in an ebuliition of if dispieasure, and I am reacy to do so again.” ! Complimenting his host upor upon his gallant bearing, the reporter asked him for the secret of his perpetual bloom. M-. Boucicault laughed as he replied, “Well, Ifell ali right outside, and, barring that my hair is grayer, I may be —a hearty as five years ago, but, then, how do we »w that tif works inside are as good as ever? Still, I feel well and enter upon my work wi.b as mueén relish as ev- er. Secret of it ali? Bless you, there’s no secret, get up at half-past five every mi g. take my cof- fee and go to work. At 101 take breakfast, after which I go out and see the world. At4I dine, take a napand then I am ready forthe evening's per- formance. There's no sec et in a life of this kind. of ands.
