Washington, February 27.—The state de partment I, informed that Minister Hunt's 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 minister of state expressing the regret of the emperor penonslly, and of Russian society for the death of the American minister. President Arthur expressed the gratilicstion which this mark of respect and good feeling 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.

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 tit* colonel triad to ,p*n hi, eye, and amll*.

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.

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 the assurance that he itill felt the etrenglh and energy to grapple with tbe abuses that have flourished and overgrown the govern ment, to emote them with ■ blow ot au in tellect that cannot be deluded, and a hand knowing neither mercy nor forbearance.
