Scandals That Have Arisen On the Asi atic Station—How the Bachelors Have Had the Worst Os It. Washington, September 22, ,1883.—Sev eral mouths since tbe Secretary of the Navy, acting upon information from differ ent sources, issued an orler intended to restrict the presence of officers’ families with those on duty in the Asiatic station. Scandal upon scandal has been reported to the Navy Department, the investigation of which will probably take place in due time. The charges aflect the official character of superiors as well as subord i na’es. The distance of the Asiatic station from tbe United States is supposed to be a temptation to ignore naval regulations Those who profess to be Wbll informed say that what is needed in Chinese waters is not so much on increase of our fleet as a regard for the discipline which is presum ed to be observed wherever our vessels are stationed. It will be remembered that tbe Secretary of the Navy, in reviewing tbe proceedings of a naval court martial recently held in the East, where the offi cer was convicted of intemperance, that he was charged with exposing the weak ness of some officers to the scandal of those who are not accused of such an of fense. Character of the Evils. The following extract from a letter, just received at the Navy Department, shows that there are other causes for complaint, and that the so-called obnoxious order, No. 309, was not issued too soon: “There are indeed evils other than that of intemperance in the equadron on this station, and mv sincere hope is that the present policy may be that of the De partment in the future, and not only of individual secretaries. The state of affairs here regarding wo men on the station, who are all ladies of great personal attractions, and for that reason only the more dangerous, is, I think, even worse than elsewhere, as the following will show. Great injustice has been done in the past three years to my knowledge to individual officers by a reckless shifting about of the latter be tween the different ships so that officers conld be with their wives in pleusant places. This ha? been notably the case with the Richmond. Bad for the Bachelors. “The non-cffioial staff would, in a busi ness-like way, collect all their husbands together on the flag-ship, pushing some poor fellow off to Corea or Chefoo, and then, under their orders, the ship would settle down fcr the season, winter at Hong Kong and summer at Yokohoma. Reference to the number of cruising days by tbe Richmond in the past eighteen months will show only those employed in transitu between those two places, with a stay on the way at the delightful port of Kobe, whither these ladies had preceded tho ship. It has been the same old story the whole time—a tremendous hurry to get back to the families, to the almost total disregard of all else. “Officers of foreign navies look with as tonishment on our methods. With them such a thing as women on the station is almost unheard of. Then, too, the im pression here among the uninitiated re garding the Richmond is that she was ob liged to remain here last summer and this one because she was not in a fit condition to cruise.” A TRAGIV AFFAIR AT THE HOT SPRINGS. A Former Baltimore Physician Shot And Killed. A letter was received in this city to-day from a latly at the Hot Springs, Ark , giv ing the particulars of a sanguinary affair at that place on Monday last, in which Dr. J. H. Adams, who is said, to have been at one time a resident of Baltimore, was shot and mortally wounded, death resulting from his injuries in ten da} s afterward. His assailant was also shot and seriously '"ounded. It appears there is a system of i drumming in vogue among some of the physicians at the Hot Springs, the drum mers meeting the incoming railroad trains, and if they see a person who appears to need medical treatment he is at once im portuned to patronize this or that doctor. About three weeks ago Mr. Wm. Davis, residing near Forest City, Arkansas, arrived at the Hot Springs snfferina with a severe case of dropsy. A drummer suc ceeded in obtaining his patronage for the hotel he represented, where he paid $25 in advance for board. He was then intro duced to Dr. Adams, who, it is said, claimed he could cure him and Mr. Davis paid him SSO. After a few days, finding no relief, Mr. Davis applied to Dr. Arthur ' Taylor, who told him his case was hope j less. He then applied to Dr. Adams for a I part of the money, but this was refused, i On Saturday last a son of Mr. Davis ar rived at Hot Springs to visit his father, and learning how matters stood deter mined to see what he could do. On Mon day morning he purchased, a Sharpe’s car bine, carrying a 56 ball, and went to Dr. Adam’s office, where he demanded that the doctor should refund the money bis father had paid him. This was refused, Adams at the same time going to a drawer, where he got a revolver. Davis then fired and hit the doctor in tbe left breast. Davis ran out of the office into an adjoin ing building with Dr. Adams in pursuit. Adams fired at Davis, striking him in the right arm and breaking it in two places File sympathy of the people is said to be with Divis, who had, they claim, great provocation, his father being a poor man and iliy ably to pay for medical sei vice which could do him no good. The Last Hours of Balzac’s Life. Arsene Houssaye tells in the Paris Figaro a vary dramatic story of the last hours of ' Ba'zic’s life. When the great novelist felt i that his end was appro’ching he asked bis physician whether he had still six months left to prepare a “last word” to the public The physician shook his head. “Ah,” Balz’.c mournfully said, “I see you will not allow me six ninths. Wil! you then give me six weeks?” Again the physician shook his head. almost ang ilv ex claimed: “Am I then a dead man? But lam strong enough to submit to the inevitable. Do not deceive me. Havelktill six days?” The physician could not im mediately reply. be turned away to hide his tears. “Six days, then,” continued Balzac, “well, I shall briefly tell you what I still have to do. I shall have time to cast a hasty glance at my fifty volume?. I shall tear out some poor pages and mark some good ones, Mau’s will can do wonders.” The physician could barely regain his com posure. “Aly dear sir,” he at last replied, “who can foretell the hour of death? Bur. you want me to speak the truth. You spoke of a last word to the public. Well, this last word must be spoken to-day. and if you have anything else to say, do not wait until to-morrow.” Balzac raised bis head, “Have I, then, not even six hours ? ’ he exclaimed in horror, and sank back ex hausted. The physician’s last word was his death blow. A few hours afterward Balzac expired. Death of a Brave Man. Cincinnati. September 21.—The Times- Star's dispatch from Akron, 0., says: •John Bull, an engineer of the Thunder bolt passenger train, on the New York, Pennsylvania end Ohio Railroad, died, to day, from injuries received by a collision with a freight train at Tallmadge Satur day night. He could have saved himself by jumping, but he thought of the pas sengers, reversed his engine and set the air brakes. He then put on full steam and started the engine ahead. It broke loose from the cars. The passengers were un hurt. He lived at Galion and was the old est engineer on the road. Auditor's Report.
