death wss caused by dropsy, superinduced
by chronic inflammation of the liver. The
Russian minister today, in company with
Secretary Frelingbnysen, called upon
President Arthur and read to
him telegrams from the Russian

had given and would give the American
people.
Loogstreet was bofere Springer’s committee
to-dey, with Jock Brown as bis attorney, and
his son Lee Longstreet, to explain the various
features in his accounts. Longstreet asserted
that he was the victim of a conspiracy on the
part of Baltin andotners to eject him and put
Bryant in as marshal. Bslliu whispered to a
man sitting by him: That is absolutely false.
No charges have beon lodged against
Longstreet for corruption, but
merely for business incapac
ity. He will conclude his
testimony to-morrow. He alleges that the
government owes him ten thousand dollars
on aeoonat of 1883 according to hia books,
and twelve hundred dollars according to
Comptroller Lawrauor’s own letter.
Boston, Mass., February 28— Around a
table In Fred Evans's lager beer aaloon, No.
.riate street,at one o'clock to-day, sat a llne-
looktng Old man, probably CO years
of age, a flashily dressed woman
who had just been mtde his
wife, and a dozen or more men who were all
drinking free beer furnished In unlimited
n 3titles by the happy but half paralysed
(groom, Colonel B. J. Fox. He live, in
New York and is very wealthy. It 1s said that
he retired from buslnessashorttimeagowitb
a fortune that realises for him an income of
more than $1,000 per week. It is also said b;
those who profess to know him, that the col
onel it in tbe habit of going on periodical
sprees, which lead him often far away from
New York. Some of tho people who claim
to know all about Colonel Fox say that he
never saw tbe womaq who Is now bis wife
until yesterday, while others as confidently
assert that he has been In correspondence
with her for some time.
About noon to-day the certificate was ob<
tatned, a justice of the peace was sent for,
and in the presence of Mr. Evans, M. J.
Leonard and a number of other men, Mias
Liverett and Colonel Fox were made
one in a slip of the saloon.
Then congratulations ensued, and

Clivsland, February 28.—One of the Aus
trallaus who arrived here for exhibition
at tbe dime museum, died of congestion of
the lungs. There were nine persons in tbe
party. The name of tbe deceased was Tam-
bo. The race to which be belonged
are called "blacks," and are used
as bloodhounds In tracking criminals.
R. A. Cunningham landed the party
in this country last April; and after travel
ing last summer with Barnum’s circus, they
have been making a tour of the museums of
tbe countiy. While in Baltimore, about
three months ago, Tambo and two other
members of the company, contracted severe
colds, and they have been more or less seri
ously troubled with lllnea ever since. The
doctors in all tbe cities have been at a
loss as to tbe method of treating them
as they seem to be a croes between a
human being and a monkey, and their
breathing organs are said to be unlike those
of a white person. At Pittsburg one week ago
a seven year old boy waa given np for dead
by the physicians,ana they made a request to
bold a post mortem examtn alion. Cunning
bam objected, and tbe child afterward re
vived, and la now in aa good health a, he ever
enjoyed. The manager say, that In every
city he ha, visited this winter he hts had
large doctor’s bills to pay. and baa been
obliged to be in constant attendance upon
them. They are said to be tbe only people
inexistence who understand tbe use of the
boomerang. Tambo was twenty-one years of
age. Hia remains were removed to the
morgue.
Tolrdo, February 28.—Tbe case of Robert
Bailey, colored, on trial for marrying a white
girl, contrary to the law of 1810, which
Imposes a fine of 3100 and three months'
imprisonment for a white person marrying
one of negro blood, or vice verse,
was tried here to-day. A demurrer
was filed by the defense that the law was
unconstitutional under the fourteenth
amendment. The judge dismissed the de-
mnrrer, holding that the law did not legislate
in favor of the white race, Imposing the same
penalty on a person of either race marrying a
woman of the opposite nee. Beiley WAS
found guilty and given the fall penalty of the
law given above.
Jacksok, Ohio, February 29—Luka and
William Jones, who, with Labon Stephana,
had been found guilty of the murder of An
derson Lakey, were hanged to-day. The
minister made a prayer lasting a full half
boar. The drop ftllat 1:12 p. m. William
Jones straggled bat Luke was still, bis neck
being nndonbtedly broken. The body of
Willtam swung around, hia leg being drawn
np they touched bis brother's body, causing
a shudder of horror among the spectators.
The bodies, after tbe usual medical examine,
tton, were cot down and placed in the hands
of their friends. There was some talk of
lynching Johnson, who is in jail for the re
cent murder.
Philadelphia, February 29.—Five fires
occurred during the ifight in this eity. The
wind blew almost a gale, and owing to this
cause aud the great distance between the
various points whence tbe alarms came, the
firemen found much trouble in keeping tbe
flames under control. The mo3t destructive
wss that at the chemical works of Powers
A Weightman. tbe largest of the kind in the
country, which were totally destroyed. The
loss at this place will be over a million dol
lars.
As a result of the burning of Powers &
Wrightman’s chemical factory aud ware
house, New York, dealers in foreign quinine
to-day put up the price from $1.35 to $155 per
ounce.
Sr. Louis, February 29.—Dr. Boisliniere, ,
leading physician of this city, says that Nellit
Haxeltlne Paremore, at one time tbe belle of
St. Louis and who, when married by the
Episcopal bishop o( Philadelphia, two years
ago. created such a flatter of excitement in
social circles, did not die of puerperal fever,
but from taking twenty-one grains of mor
phine at a single dose. Her huebsnd, Fred
Paramorc, gave her this by accident.
San Francisco,February 29.—A special dis
patch from Tucson, Arizona, to the Exami
ner says: The Apaches Indians are again
committing depredations in Sonora. On
January 29th they killed two men and atole
horses and cattle near Chinipas. On the
30th they seriously wounded a Mexican near
Teticachl, stole the horses of some
American prospectors, and
tbe stock of Leonard Gomez, prefect of the
Arispe district. The authorities have sent a
force in pursuit, but no news has beett re
ceived from them as yet. The Apaches are
believed to be crossing the border in several
places simultaneously. For the past few
’~~s they have been depredating in the
uaripa district, and killed one Mexican
and wounded another near Bamosi. Several
bodies of Mexicans have been found on
Mexican soil near tbe border. At Maritavri
tbe Indians killed a Mexican on the same
day, and another near Chinavirachi. The
mail carrior of tbe Sahuaripa route is missing
and is believed to have been killed, A large
number of cattle were stolen from Los Pleurae
del Ambre. A federal (Mexican) force is in
pursuit, and another force Is seeking to bead
off the marauders. Colonel Gsrcis, with a
large force, is also out.
Santa Fe, N. M., February 29 —Two sticks
ef giant powder were picked up in a wood
pile from which the stores in tne house of
representatives are supplied with wood by a
page, and a rumor soon gained circulation of
an attempt to blow up the legislative hall,
which created great excitement anu
comment on the streets and In
S olitical and official circles.
ne legislative faction accused the other of a
diabolical attempt to destroy life aud prop
erty, and In turn the other says malcontents
composed of both political parties, and
known as the “Rump council,” are re
sponsible for the attempted outrage. It Is by
no means certain the explosive material was
placed in the wood pile with intention of
doing mischief, but many hot heads
refuse to accept any other theory. More con
servativo people are inclined to think the ex
plosives found their way to the rear door of
the honso purely by accident. Surveyor
General Atkinson asserts that he saw two
•ticks of giant powder In the nnused legis
lative hall a month ago, and thought
at the time it was rather dan
gerous stuff to have lying about, but neg
lected to call the attest;.,:, /. the au'.horiti a
toll, Hia theory is tuat a simple-minded
janitor cleaning out tbe hall swept them out
and threw them in the yard with other rub
bish.
On the other hand, a statement presented
to the house by Atnado Chaues tends to give
color to the theory that mischief was In
tended. Ho says while busily engaged In the
street in conversation with Indian Agent
y evening a man came up
and whispered: “Your house will be paral
yzed to-morrow.” He paid no attention to
this, and doe* not even remember tha man
who approached him, bat elnce tbe discovery
of the giant powder he thinks the man’s re
marks must have had some reference to an
attempt to blow up tho legislative chamber
’ Tbe only dealer in explosives in the city
says he sold two bare of giant powder to an
unknown young man, an American,Saturday
night last.
I'niLADiLi'iiiA, March -L—John McGinnis
was hanged In the county prison this fore
noon for tho murder of hts mother-in-law.
McGinnis was a Catholic, hia wifa , a
Protestant. This caused domestic trouble
and separation, the wife returning to her
mother. McGinnis went there and shot hia
wife and mother-in-law. Tbe latter died, bnt
the daughter recovered. A plea of insanity
was set up without avail, both on the trial
and after conviction.
Washiroton, March 5.—In tbe Danville
Investigation to-day, J. C. Fowler, (white),
late of Bristol, Virginia, chairman of hla
county readjuster committee, now clerkof tbe
United States court at Abingdon, Virginia,
wascalltd. He identified the circular which
waa currant in his neighborhood, previous to
the election. It wss an "exum” of the
Wythevilie, Virginia, Enterprise ofMondty,
November 5th, 1883, day before the election.
The head lines were aa follows: “The Bloody
Negro Riot in Danslll*;" An Immense Moss
Meeting in Richmond, the 3d Saturday Eve
ning" “Mabone Responsible for tbe Blood
shed.” "White Men of Virginia Urged to be
True to their Own Race in tne Conflict which
Mahone has brought about” Tbe body
of the circular was a dispatch from Richmond
embodying a aeries of resolutions adopted at
an enormon, mats meeting of white citizens,
setting forih that a conflict has been brought
on at Danville for the purpose of creating a
race Irene. A telegram from Danville waa
appended to the circular aa follows: “If yon
only knew our sufferings here, on account of
negro rule, you would vote different We
are standing In our doors with guns, protect
ing onr families. Post tills np at tbe court
house door." This waa signed by P. N.
Roberts.
Witness said there waa an eflorton the part
of the democratic party to reduce tbe Issue to
the question "Are you a nigger or are you a
Whiteman?" Witnesa had never seen such
an Intensity of feeling since the firing on
Fort Bnmter. as was created by the circulars
and reports put ont by th* democrats.
Mr. Vance protested against the admission
of evidence of this character—circulation of
fly circulars and political reports. "Where,"
be asked, "is ft to end, we are certainly
entitled to reply and can go all over Virginia
to pick np such matters."
Philadslmua. March 8.—For months Mrs.
Delia Parnell, the aged mother of Charles
Parnell, who reside, at th, family homestead
known as ''Ironsides," about half way between
Bordentown and White Hill, has been beset by
a series of petty persecutions. Tbe outrages
began shortly after the death of Miss Fanny
Parnell, and at first Mrs. Parnell overlooked
them. Bine* last Octoberacarcely a week has
passed without some mysterious visitation to
iie homestead,and from time to time articles
of veins were taken from tbe house in •
manner that left no due to tbe thief.
On* night e hug* number of valuable
breeding fowls were beheaded in their coop*.
On another occasion portions of the fencing
were torn down. Later the vandals evinced
their vindictiveness by damaging trees end
out-houses. On December 1, they poisoned
a handsome 8t. Barnard and a red setter, for
merly the property of Mise Parnell. For
time the persecution* ceased only to ben
newed in the form of a more painful species
of revenge.
Last Friday night an attempt was mode
the lives of Mre. I'arnel, the overseer, tieorge
O'Toole, and his wife, although the miatreasof
the place happened at the time to be lu Netv
York. Among the live stock kep t at Ironsides
are several cows, only one of which, however,
gives milk. This animal supplies the dairy with
all the milK costumed on the place. On Friday
night the milch cow was found dead in its
stall. Dr. Shipps, of Bordentown, wss in
formed, and after an examination of the
cow’s entrails he decided that tne animal
died from the eflVcts of arsenic.
The motives of the persecutors was proba'
bly to poison the inmates of the homestead
by the means ot the use of the cow's milk.
Several men who were discharged by the
overseer are suspected.
Hahtfoed, March li.—The petulanco which
Judge Blrdasll, formerly of New York, hss
manifested about tbe reapjiolntment of Bank
Commissioner Hyatt culminated this after
noon in a scene at tbe eapitol in the execu
tive chamber. Judge Blrdsall called on Gov
ernor Waller «Uh a manuscript artlclo which
be said be was going to have published in
republican papers in the state to which hehaa
the entree, unless the governor consented tc
do wbat he (Jndge BirdtaU) wished of him
It was hardly a word and a blow, and
the blow first; but with a vehement resent
ment of the insult, Governor Weller turned
on Blrdsall with the words; “You are a
scoundrel. This office Is open for public bus
iness. If you have public business to attend
to it can be heard but not blackmail. Never
lot your scoundrelly face be seen In this
chamber again. There’s the door, Judgo
Blrdsall; get out of it.” Blrdsall not moving
the governor turned to tho executive secre
tary, saying: “Remove him from the room.
Mr. Zacber.” Mr. Zicher conducted Judgo
Blrdsall from tbe governor's office without
resistance.
The course of Governor Waller has been
commended by every senator, without dis
tinction of party. It is understood that
tinction of party. It is understood that
Judge BirdsaU's manuscript contained what
he called exposures of Governor Waller's cor
ruption In the appointment of Senator
Hyatt ns bank commissioner. There Is not a
sane man In the legislature who believes
anything in the charge.
Hot Sratsos, Arkansas, March 0.—Lovater
Ware has been arrested in Logan county,
Arkansas, for the murder of William
McLaughlin in Blount county, Tennessee,
fourteen years ago. Ware killed McLanghlln
in a drunken frenzy. He hss always con
ducted himself as a good citizen and is a man
of wealth and influence. He claims that tbe
prosecution is an endeavor to extort money
from him.
Cohrino, O., March C.—Andy J. McDevitt,
the druggist, who wss mobbed and driven
naked from this pises on Sunday night dur
ing a blinding snow storm by members of
Father O'Boylan’a church, is at New Strelts-
ville to-day. Sheriff t'rosbie, of New
Lexington, arrived here this forenoon
with a large posse and after swearing
in twenty-five constables at this place ar
rested all tbe men known to have been in
the mob. He also arrested a large number
of persons merely suspected of Being con
nected with the outrngo and took about
twenty-five of them to New Lexington. The
excitement here is greatly increased by this
Pl l2ther 1 8’'Boy]an lias boen callod to Colum
bus by Bishop Watterson. It is the belief
of many Catholics that he will be severely
reprimanded If not suspended for Ills rash
ness. It Is also reported that McDevitt will
go to Columbus to-night to have a con lereuce
with the bishop, and If so It is the inferenc*
that au effort will be made to patch up a
teace between him and Father O'Boylan.
ifeDevitt was a Catholic but left tbe church
not because of any change In bis religious
faith, but of pereoual trouble with tbe priest.
After leaving the church he attended a
Catholic fair about two weeks ago,from which
Father O’Boylan caused him to be ejected.
Then a series of spats and skirmishes took
dace between tbe priest and tbe druggist.
JcDcvitt printed a tong and savage letter
about the priest in the Ohio State Journal, (n
which tbe fallowing bitter paragraph ap
peared, personal to O'Boylan and extremely
galling to him,
"He is tbe man who knocked James
Comlakey down because be did not bring a
team around for the reverend father to go to
Buckingham with. For this unchristianlika
action be gave as a reason the statement that
be had been Injured in his bead at one time
by falling from a building, aud had not been
able since then to control hie temper. The
tint year of his location here be had a light
in Kinney’s hall with some German ladles,
because ha thought they had not paid him
enough for christening a child. Hs
cuffed tha teacher at Buckingham
on account of some misunderstanding. He
struck a man on tbe bridge, opposite tbe
depot here, because the man had not paid
hie pew rent. A gentleman here married a
Protestant lady, and when they applied to
O'Boylan to have their child christened the
priest threw the father by the neck out of
tbe church.”
This paragraph in Father O’Boylan's
wss the last straw In the accumulating load
that broke the camel’a back and caused that
unmeasured denunciation of McDevitt hut
Sunday,
Cbicaoo, March 7.—A telephone message
to tbe Daily News from Jottet, 111., states
that Frank Rande, the deeperado who made
an attempt upon the Ilf* of Deputy Warden
McDonald, at the state penitentiary last Sat
urday nlght,and who waa pieced in a solitary
cell last night, succeeded In ending bit career
by hanging himself with a portion of hie
underclothing. He was found dead when
bis cell door wss opened.
Chicago, March 7.—About one o’clock last
Saturday afternoon Paymaster C. T. Bartlett,
of tbe Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road, left bis office for lunch without taking
the precaution to close the combination ot
tbe large safe in which tbe money for tbe
payment of tbe employes was deposited,
easing the room without awaiting the re
turn of the other attaches of tbe office, who
had alto gone to lunch. Before hie return
tbe safe was robbed of all Its contents, with
tbe exception of some packages ot nickels and
small change. The total amount taken, u near
as the company’s officials can esti
mate, being 27,000. On the facts becoming
known, and an investigation being instituted
Paymaster Bartlett wss discharged from tbe
services of the company for negligence, and
the matter was placed In tbe bends of defec
tives, and care waa made to keen the affair
quiet in the hope that tbe detectives would
he facilitated in their work, bat upon the
matter becoming known, end In the belief
that exaggerated statements would be pub
lished concerning tbe robbery tbe officiala
showed a willingness that the exact facta
should be furnished to the public. The the-
ory advanced by the treasurer of the company
is that tbe robbery wss accomplished
by a eneak thief. Two doors lead to tbe
cashier's office from tbe vacant room, one
of which was found tjar on the paymaster’!
return. The paymaster 1 ! room ie located in
the general offices ol tbe company on tbe
second floor of the building, and waa con
structed (specially to guard against Intrus
ions or theft, but in this instance the most
ordinary precautions appear to hare been ig
nored.

Virginia, made before tbe Danville lnvestiga-|
ting committee to tbe eflect that when negro
members of the legislature came to see him

'** THE ■fftcBN REVIVAL.
Washikoton, March 7.—The revival of tho
Tlldcn talk la Washington has born sudden
but H has swept the other candidates almost
out of consideration. Tha awkward attitude
of the party on tho rarlff and tbe bad leader
ship In the houso has concentrated attention
on Tilden os the man who can subordinate
this Issue, and appeal to the people aa the
representative of reform In the government.
The New York Sun, In a double leaded edi
torial to-day, haded “Why the people waul
Tilden,” among other thing* says: "Mr.
Tilden la tha living incarnation of tho reform
of tho government.
"Tberemoval of, buses,
‘Thesuppression of corruption,
"Tho stoppage of public plunder;
"Tha restoration of democratic economy,
"Simplicity and
Integrity in tbe administration.
“This Is why the honest and Intelligent
people of the union, republican! as well aa
democrats now regard him with a feeling
such m no other public men of
any party can awaken In
their minds. They believe that a reform
of the administration, such ts he represents,
and such as his nomination would Indicate,
Is a matter of vital Importance to the welfare
of the country, and there ie nothing they
would welcome with such abounding joy aa

"But," exclaims some one of
the advocalee of only one idee,
Mr. Tllden'a nomination would (till
be a declaration of a free trade policy, be
cause they tell ns the platform of the conven
tion which nominated him in 1878 had e
decidedly free trade bearing. What they
ty of thl, platform la true, but they forget
that Mr, Tilden Is more than tbs platform.
His nomination would thrust back into oh
scurity now, as It did in 1876. the merely
formal features of any platform which any
national convention might adopt. He stands
for nniveraal and comprehensive reform, and
wherever that Idea cornea to the front the
Quixotic phantom of an impracticable free
trade policy will disappear as the shadows of
morning twilight at tbs ritlng of th* gun.

About thirty years ego Colonel W. B. Johnston
built a large cistern on Mulberry streot, In Macon,
Georgia. Tho cistern was ornamonted In the cen<
tre with a fountain consisting of a beautiful life-
size statue of the charming goddess Hebe, as the
appears In art, a cup bearer, dispensing nectar at
the banquets of the gods. Hebe was perfect In
form and lovely in the graceful manner In which
ahe held tho tankard in one hand and poured tho
unceasing Uow of water into a bowl held In tho
other hand. On one occasion a serious ob*
t ecilon wss made to her appearance
•y an elderly widow from Wilkinson county, who
was the guest of Peter J. Williams, tho landlord of
the old Washington hall, which was located near
tho fountain. She asked Mr. Williams what tne
figure meant. He described it, and was oathnsias'
on some clothes, end I wilt subscribe one dol-
to buy eight yards of calloo to havo a
t made for her. Several years after anew
council, who seemed to be lem sethetlo than their
predecessor*, waa elected, when they pamed a res*
olutlon ordering Hebe to be removed to a more
secluded place.
Thus the beautiful statue of the young goddess
was conMgned to darkness lu a collar until during
the late war. When lead became scarce It was pre
sented to the Mscou arsenal by Ur. Johnston,whero
it was melted and produced twenty-five hundred
pounds ot lead, which were moulded into confed
erate ballets.

Dallas, March 5*-Tho Xra tells a strange story,
in which a young lady was shot. Last Hatfinlay
Mr. Jonathan Gurley, who lived on tho Acworlh
oad. about live miles from Dallas, had a working,
and at night the young peoplo engaged in a dance.
K very thing was moving on gaily, when suddenly
the report of a pistol was hoard, aud a young lady,
Mis* Henrietta Butler, daughter of Mr. Marlon
Butler, toll with aicream, having been shot through
the right leg aud l»avln*r the left nun
grazed by tho ball. Tho ball entered
the right leg Jun below tho kuoo and
ranged around the boue and camoout on the other
side and grazing the left leg struck tho wall of
the house. It Is supposed ttiat oue nf tho
dancers hid the pistol fa bis pocket, and that by
some means It was eoddentally dUcharged. The
wounds, while painful, are not regarded as danger
ous. It Is not known In whose possession the pis
tol was whan it was discharged. The owner wss
ashamed to acknowledge It, and should have been.

young man with a lady holding his arm. Ho
handed a paper across tho fonco which proved to
be a marriage license, and pulling off his hat, ho
said blushlngly, “I want you to marry mo." In a
few minutes the two were made one, and thsy
went on their way rejoicing. They were Mr. W. R.
Harris and Miss Harah Miller, who had escaped pa
rental vigilance. Mr. Robert Rahlston and Miss
Vsfhti Echols, of Dalton, had for somo time been
engaged, bnt the parents of the young lady stren
uously objected, Th* lovers resolv-
union, and
appointed the Northern Methodist church the tryst-
log place. But the. hopes of the anxious couple
were dladpated, when the enraged father appeared
on the scene and carried his daughter hack home.
Not to be outdone the groom elect procured a Jus
tice of tbe peace, and going to ths home of the
young lady, was so persistent In bis suite for her
hand that the parents finally consented to the mar
riage and the pair were happily united.

near New Hope, last Saturday. It was (hat of a

and a goodly number of ladles asiemblcd at tho
house with needles and thimbles. Sufllco it to say
jt was a success. The young peoplo of this commu
nity had a party the evening of the 14th Inst.
Everything pamed off smoothly, untU somo of the
young men, who had been drisking too freely, be
gan to use profane language to tho young ladles
who had bravery enough to refuse their attentions,
This spoiled the whole affair, snd the young ladles
