VOL. X. ELN UDI’S -ATAL A ELY FEVER :NOS ITS BL GHTING AID TO THE ARAB CHIEF. Training the Guns on Gubat —The Massa cre of CoL Stewart— Ambushed and Slaughtered -Stone Vasha's Views on Wolseley's Campaign. London, Feb. 9.—Gen. Wolseley telegraphs from Korti that the latest information re ceived from the British camp at Gubat, states that the commanding officer is ill with fever and that the situation there ha snot improved. The Mahdi’s forces are consta.iily threatening the British position. At last accounts they had brought up several pieces of heavy artil lery and were busy placing and ranging their guns on the British camp. The Telegraph has received a dispatch from its special correspondent at Abu-Kru, on the Nile, not far from Metemueb. The disjiateh is dated February 1, and says: “Col. Wil son's party state Khartoum fell January 27. The river banks above the sixth cataract are crowded with Arabs. The Mahdi in a letter calling our officers to surrender implies that Gordon is alive. Stewart expects to be closely invested here.” England's Blunder. New York, Feb. 9.—The World conunente as follows on England’s Egyptian campaign: “Frolably the Ixwt course now to be pur sued by the British government is to save the lives of her brave soldiers if she can withdraw from the Soudan and admit that she com mitted a blunder when she invaded the terri tory of the Arabs for the puipose of aiding a usurjier to bring them under a foreign yoke. She may lo prestige, bin this is belter than cruelly sacrificing human life.” THE MASSACRE OF COL. STEWART. He and His Party Helpless and Unarmed in the Enemy's Hands. Korti, Feb. 9.—Hussein, the stoker who escaped the massacre fierjietrated by Suleiman at Wady Gama upon Col. Stewart and his party, says the murders were not committed in the vicinity of Berber, as has been reported, but on the Nile below Abu Hamed. He gives the following account of the circumstances attending the assassinations: Col. Stewart's steamer, the Abbas, when it left Khartoum, had aboard besides Stewart two European consuls, Power and Herbien, Hussein Bey, twelve Greeks and a number erf natives. Two other steamers accompanied the Abbas from Khartoum to Berlier. Tha little fleet shelled Berlier, but with what re sult Hussein does not state. After this tl e Abbas and its escort were joined by four Nug gars, and the fleet, so reinforced, proceeded down tile Nile to Abu Hamed At the latter place Col. Stewart decided to dispense with the escort and he continued his journey below Abu Hamed with the Abbas alone. He bad not gone far when the steamer etnick a rock two feet under the surface of the water. The place was near an island called Wady Gamz and the craft remained fast upon the rock. Stewart and bis party left the boat and went to the island. Stewart subsequently went back to the disabled steamer, spiked the guns and threw the am mui:i ion into the water. He then returned to th island. The wreck had recurred with such 5... ■ lenness that the party had l>eeu com pelled to desert the bat liefore they could arm themselves. The result was that when Col. Stewart got back to the island he found himself the tally man of his entire party who possessed any weapon, and be had nothing but a small revolver in his belt. Meanwhile a large crowd of natives bail as sembled on the rigbt bank of the Nile. They shouted in concert to the English: “Give us peace and grace! Give us peace and gracel” This demonst ration somewhat reassured the Colonel and his comrades. Accordingly ho received with welcome an Arab who ap proached them and said he bore a message , from Suleiman. This was a friendly invitation to Stewart to go wiih his entire party to Suleiman's house and there become the chief’s guests. The invitation was accepted and the entire party crossed the river with the messenger to the bank where the natives were assembled. Suleiman met them, and he took Col. Stewai-t, the two co :si / and Hussein Bey to the bouse of a blind :■ >m named Etn an Fakri, where coffee was prepared for them. While Col. Stewai l and his companions were in the house Sule iman went out and gave a signal to his follow ers. These were all armed with swords and spears, and they at once formed themselves in two bodies. One party entered the blind man's house and attacked the guests. Col. Stewart and the two consuls were killed. While this bloody work was being done in Etman Fakri’s house the other party of Sulei man's moi closed in around the rest of Stew art’s defenseless comrades. The men fought as liest they could in the hopele: s struggle, but all with the exception of the narrator and seven othere were either killed where they stood or were drowned in the Nile in their ate tempts to escape. Hussein managed to swim across to Wady Gamz and hide himself upon the island until dark. He was, however, dis covered next day and made a prisoner. He was taken to Belli and remained there until the place was captured by Gen. Earle's tneu. Hu s-in ay that after Col. Stewart was killeo his body and the bodies of all his murdered companions were thrown into the river by order of Sulei man. The chief and his followers then divi ded all the money which they had found on the persons of the murdered men or in the steamer, and sent the rest of the plunder in a box to Berber. The seven men who, besides Hussein, escaped the massacre were two sail ors, two artillerymen and three Egyptians, all of whom, Hussein says, were subsequently captured by Suleiman and taken to Berber, where they remain prisoners. Before the massacre Col. Stewart had male tour trips to the steamer, and had succeeded in landing a good many stores and provisions. STONE PASHA’S VIEWS. How Wolseley Weakened His Strength by Dividing H « Forces. New York, Feb. ! —When Gen. E. C. Stone, who fought with Ismail Khedive, heard the news, he said “If these cable re ports come from Frenr h sources I will not at tach much importance to them, and if they be true I can only say that the fall of Khartoum is the usual result of a violation of military principles. The English commander had his men solid and well equipped at Korti and divided them, sending .one fraction in advance to meet, front flank and rear, the Mahdi’s rifles, and exposed the other fraction to the same kind of assailants. Hoads behind the advance force were closed, and the road before lay through rebel lines. Gen. Stewart's force was an in vitation to attack, and these recent rumors do Hot seem to indicate that Stewart to any great extent demoralized the enemy. “The army should have been kept solid until a lodgment was made at a communicat ing distance with Gordon. Os course when victory as it occasionally does, comes to the fractions of an army, the people at home cry ‘bnll.ant generalship,’ but it isn’t, it is the fortune of war. In my opinion W laeloy has «/( ’ OrtTrlfeliS » SiSi iSlilil • all along been deceived by false rtperte; for ] know that, could the stories heard have beer I relieved, Wolseley must have thought the fanaticism of the Mahdi’s followers a mytt and the rank and file decimated by disease and interna) strife. Here is a curious thing in every report w® hear—that, the Mahdi’s forces are killed by the thousands and gener als by the hundreds, and yet the Mahdi al ways seems to have plenty of men and no lack of commaudi'rs.” ON THE RAGING RIO GRANDE- Thirteen Mexican Cattle Thieves Bite the Dust—Tremble on the Border. Eagle Pass, Tex., Feb. 9. —For some days past trouble has been feared by citizens ol Demon tt county. Numerous raids have botiD made from Mexico, and u every raid num bers of cattle and horses have been driven over the Rio (4rande. Ten rangers only were allowed by the state to project fromincursion* a frontier of over sixty miles, and they have been practically useless. Cattle men of that section organized vigilance committees, and of late have been nightly patrolling the i ivei front on their own account. Eleven Mexican bandits in the last three weeks have been found in Demmitt county and shot to pieces. Thursday night Sam Jones, a proud* Dent stockman of this section, arrived there, and after staying long enough to la> in a supply of arms and ammunition, hurried lack to Cairizo Springs, the county seat of Dimmitt county, fifty miles distant horn this place. He reports that Thursday Morning, five miles from the river, William Noglcy, an officer of Medina county; Jctiu O'Meara, dep uty sheriff of Dimmitt county, and two stock men. discovered six Mexican thieves driving cattle toward '.lie Rio Gramie. Four of the Mexicans hurried the cattle in the direction of the river, and two stopped behind to stand off the pursuers. Negley ordered them to throw up their hands, and they reached for their Winchesters. The firing began and Ixith the Mexicans were riddled with bullets. Negley was grazed across the chest, and would have been killed had not O’Meara by a snap shot brought down his adversary in the nick of time. The dead men were from Provide, Mex. Seven bandits .are now confined at Carrizo Springs, aud their friends and the dead men’s friends threaten to raid upon the town. There are some sin hundred armed men in and near Carriz.i Springs, and it is said the Mexicans can bring a superior force. Sheriff Oglesby, of tb/s place, lias sent armed men to that locality, and (.’apt. Suker's ranger company, in camp at Uvalde, has left for the scene of the trouble. The two Mexicans killed Thursday swell the sum total of bandits slain near Carrizo Springs to thirteen in the lust three weelcs, and the Mexicans who are camjied at the oldOlVa ranch, just over the river, are maddened by the loss of their comrades. Sheriff Tomlin son, of Dimmitt county. i*i an old Mexican and Indian fighter, and insists that in- can hold his town, but the current of opinion is that the more armed Ameri cans thrown into that place the next three days the better it will lie forth® helpless women and children there comine l. The niggardly policy of the state with regard to affording frontier protection is bitterly condemned. The few United States regu .. s in the country are absolutely useless, as thou - sands of yards of red tape have to lie un wound before they can be utilized. CRUSHED IN HER RUDE LOG HUT. Death of “The Woman Hermit of the Mountaiutt'* A Strange Life History. Reading, Pa., Feb. 9.—The strangest char acter in eastern Pennsylvania died in the mountains l>ack of Bernville, this county, bailie Ketner was known as ’‘The Woman Hermit of the Mountains. ” Rhe lived alone in a rude log hut away from all society and neighbors. Her tum ble-down hovel collapsed and some of the falling timbers struck the old woman, who was so badly injured that she died shortly after being taken from the wreck. Four of her favorite dogs were also killed The woman was eigiity-four years old, ana hud lived in voluntary exile in the same old dilap idated hut for forty-eight years. The story of her life would fill a book. When she took up her abode in this manner she wa> thirty six years old. People remembered her as a strong and comely woman. The story goes that in her youthful days she fell in love with a young man who fo’.- 1 vo d the wja. He left with the promise that in five years he would make her h>. bride. He was never seen a/ain, having been im pressed into the service of another country, and died in a French prison sixty years a o, but the woman kept his memory grw-i. She would never have anything to do with men. In he* bosom when dead v.as found t . • last letver from her lover, faded with written just liefore he died. The woman grew melanclioly, forsook her family and friends, received a small inheritance from hei father, and in 1837 took up the life of a her mit. She fled at the approach of strangers. ( She was a good shot, and during the winter season her hut hung full of game, brought down by he? unerring rifle. She never spoke to men if she could help it, and lived in t e society of her cats and dogs, ol which slm had nineteen of the formerand twelve of the latter. Frequently she would not be seen for months. It was rumored in the neighborhood that she was a miser, at id h'id considerable money hid away, but none lias yet term found in the debris of her hut.

Regarding the alleged succes sion, he says: *‘lt has been the ambition of my life that I might be afforded opportunities to suffer and make sa •if ices for my native land and its people, but I am neither a wanior jipr a mariner.

Milwaukee, Wia, Feb, a.—The propeller Oneida, which left here for Grand Haven, January 20, and was caught in an ice drift and has been floating about in the lake at the mercy of the wind, has not been seen since last Monday.

ALL GUESS WORK SO FAB AS REGARDS THE COMPOSITION OF CLEVELAND’S CABINET FAMILY. Predicting Us Makeup-The Tilden Influ* cnce—Many Men Nan»e<l for Places— Gov. Pattison Booked—A Lively Meek for the Politicians. New York, Feb. 9.—Mr. Cleveland’s pres ence m New York has stimulated gossip upor the subject of his administration. Senatoi Lamar receiveil a very special invitation tc call, and it is believed that he will n*mve tht secretaryship of state in the event of Bayard’s declining. According to rumor Pi’esident elect Cleveland is moiv embarrassed in select ing a secretary of the treasury than in deciding upon the rest of his cabinet. The treasury is the key, and when that is settled the remainder of the cabinet can bo quickly determined uiK>n. It is believed that Mr. Cleveland will give the treasury to New York, or else to the West. He prefers to hr ve a New York man in that place. The trouble is in determining which one. Mr. Abram S. Hswitt is now prominently named in connection with the place. Mi\ Hew itt’s great business exjierience, his thorough knowledge» f financial subjects, and his wide knowledge of public affairs, make him, in the opinion of many Democrats here, the most fitting man for the place. It is understood, however, that Mr. Tilt lee is opjjosed to him. There is no means of de termining this fact positively, but it is gener ally believed among the democrats. It is further said i hat the Tildeu influence is against Garland for attorney general, and that it favors Richard T. Merrick, of this district. Mr. Merrick was counsel for Mr. Tilden before the electoral commission and charged no fee for his argument. It is hardly probable, how ever, that Mr. Cleveland will cume to the Dis trict of Columbia for a cabinet officer. Nearly all the democrats in the district have, through long s»K’ial relations, become so closely idtmtified with the republicans in power that they are merely democi’ats in name. Senators Lamar, Harris, Coke, Cockrell ami Vance represent the distinctive southern leaders. They are practically of one opinioi in everything relating to the policy of the new administration. Frank Jones, of New Hampsiiire, has been prominently mentioned in connection with the secretaryship of the navy. Mrs. Junes, sq leaking for her husband, says that she would not jiermit her husband to accept a place in the cabinet. Sh«. dislikes Washington very much, and having had an experience of it when her husbanl was in congress, knows what she is talking alxnit. 'Senator Dau Voorhees and Editor Barksdale, of Mississippi, have called on Mr. Cleveland. Senator Voorhees is a very warm friend of McDonald. He will make it very clear that McDonald is the man that India la in the cabinet, and not Judge Holman, as Hendricks reported. Mr. Barksdale is a very warm friend of Senator Lamar and would be very glad to see him in the cabinet. It Is said by some of the southern jjeople that Mr. Lamar is too strongly bound to Mr. Money to I>e able to accept a position ip the cabinet. This is incorrect. Mr. Lamar has warmly indorsed Mr. Money and would be very glad to see him postmaster general. He is seeking notbingjor himself and could not Ik- placed by any one in t hat position. There is an all devouring curiosity upon the part of public men to find out w hat Mr. Cleve land intends to do, and as a natural conse quence those who have any information upon the subject are anxious to trade it ol! among their political intimates, so as to increase their own stock. Therefore the dose of the week is a lively one, so far as }xjliLical gossip is con earned. Gov. Pattison and the Cabinet. Pittsburg, Feb. 9.—C01. James P. Bair, editor of the Post, has returned from a politi cal pilgrimage to the East. While absent he bad a consultation with Pr esident-elect Cleve- , land and Gov. Pattison. In an in terview he rays it is a fact tliat Gov. Pattison is being tu’ged for a cabinet position under the new adminis tration, and the matter is receiving serious at tention from Mr. Cleveland. Col. Barr says Gov. Pattison and Gov. Cleveland had a very cordial meeting in Brooklyn during the cam paign, and that Gov. (Cleveland has always been in hearty sympathy with the policy aciopted by Pennsylvania’s chief magistr ate. “This state is entitled to a representative in the new cabinet,” continued Col. Buit, ‘ and since Mr. Randall lias concluded that he can b” of more service to the president in the house, Gov. Pattison w the only person that has been named prominently.” It is stated here, on the highest authority, that the secrt l.uryship of the treasury has been tendered to Gov. Pattison, through the instrumentality of Col. Bai r, who is tho party leader in this portion of the state. The colonel is non-committal on the subject. A Wabash Editor Kills His Man. Wabash, Ind., Feb. 9.--Lee Linn,editor ol the Courier, fatally shot Win. Hickey. The tr< üble grew out of an article published in the Courier prior to the election. The artiuh charged Hickey with coming here to bulldoze votes for the d amocrate. Au attack was made on Linn then he shooting at Hi..-key whe Lad (altered the Courier office. Hickey came hes» from Chicago, and ex pressed his intention of doing uj Linn. They met on the street this morning, and Hickey followed nearly a square, trying to provoke a (parrel.

Hickey staggered to a doorway, where he fell. He was after ward removed to a room in the city hall, and his wounds examined. At this moment, 11:30. he is thought to be dying. The priest has just left him. Linn has delivered himseli up to the sheriff’, but is not confined. Hickey was i notorious charac aud public opinion is strongly against him. The Fighting Editor Warn In. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 9.—The Chronicle on Friday printed a sensational article alleging that Col. Wm.

A Story o( the Unsiuooth Course of True I.ove aud Its Final Fruition. Philadelphia, Feb. 9.—Geo. L. Walker, jr., a son of George L. Walker, the musical instrument dealer of North Sixth street, un til Friday uas in tho predicament of being a husband without a wife. For several days past ho has ht*en devising ways and means to rescue his bride from the confinement of her father’s house, where she was closely watched by her relatives, w ho are detei mined that she shall not live with the youth of her choice. Up t/o the close of 18M the lady was Miss jMtunie S. Markley, an . until a few days ago none kfiow that she was not still a miss. She continued to live at her father’s house', and was still a bright star of the social firmament which she adorned, attending par ties and receptions as of old, and receiving the ut tent ions jiot only of young Walker, but other gentlemen Her father, Edward U. Markley, who is the head of the firm of E. C. Markley & Sons, she was well aware, did not favor ihe attentions of Walker, and for this reason their engagement, though well known to their friends, was not publicly acknowl edged. For this reason, also, all hojie of gaining Mr. Markley’s consent to their mar riage was considered vain. On Now s Year’s day Mr. Walker, who Is familiarly known as “Dude” Walker, owing to the fact that he is a victim of anglomania, and diesbv-s in the most ultra fashionable style, according to a prearranged plan met Miss Markley, and accompanied her to the residence of Rev, William H. Carroll, where they were made man and wife. It was agre-ud that the marriage, for the time being, should be kept secret, but their plans did not suc ceed, and by some uuumur it became whis pered al tent that they had stolen a .march on the old folks. Mr. Markley, who is said to lie a man of violent temper, demanded the truth fr< m. his daughter, and she confessed everything. The young lady was remanded to her room and forbidden to communicate wit h her hus band. By some means, however, she got word to him of the rihiaiton of affairs, and he very bravely bearded the lion in his den and demanded his better hail'. Mr. Markley de nied him admission to the house, denouncing his aedion in marrying the girl without her father’s consent as unbecoming a gentleman, and informed him that the marriage should be annulled if there was any law that could be»ra<orted to. On Friday Mrs. Walker eluded the vigil ance of her relatives and despite threats of disinheritance should she go to her husband mad ■ her escajM'from the paternal mansion and went tx> her husband’s home. Walker’s mother is said to have favored the match and to have th.ne all in her power to assist tbu lovers. Miss Markley, before her marriage ordend. an elegant trousseau from a fashion able dressmaker here and had the outfit charged to her father. Mr. Markley is in a hjght riate of indignation and declares he will no long r rcco, tiize her as his child. It. is understood that the chief objectior which Mr. Markley has to Walker is t hat ht is ieported to have led an exceedingly fast life, hi* name having lx*en mixed up with tliat of the wif eof a Jem ling hotel proprietor of this city at one time. He has certainly seen a good deal of life, and at ofie time studied for the stu. ,u in New York. He has of late, how ever, been associated in business with his father, aud his friends declare that, having sown his w -Id oats, lie has now settled down. He is about twenty-two years of age, and is considered quite handsome. The bride is barely nineteen, beautiful, bright and attrac- I five.

Forecasting the Swaim Verdict—Beecher Snubbed Marshal Wright’s Case—The Arctic Diaries —Inauguration Prep arations Congress. Washington. Feb. 9.—For a number of months one story r .er another has bean cir culated concerning the management of the interior department. The opportunities for fraud ai-e greater in this department, per haps, than in any other. The ent ire public domain is under its charge. Millions are dis i bursed through the hands of its officials in tho Indian bureau It has l>e<»n a matter of com j mon report that Mr. ’Teller was using re i sources of this great department to advance Ids own jKrsonal ami jiolitical for ; tunes. Senator Hill charges that his defeat* was secured in the Colorado legislature by the grossest corruption. All of tills is general but there has developed something very spe cific against Mr. Teller. Senator U ill has in troduced in the senate a resoluti m which while very innocent on its face is supported by two very remarkable letters. if tn* charges in these letters are true, Mr. Teller’s impeachment may follow. Mr. Hill’s resolu tion (‘alls for two official reports which have been suppressed by Mr. Teller. Some time ago great laud frauds were reported in New Mexico. It was charged that fully ninety per cent, of the land entries in that territory were fraudulent. The commissioner of the general land office detailed two of his most faithful special agents to make an investigation of the charges. They made exhaustive reports and found that the charges \ ©ab solutely true. I’hey reported also that the persons guilty of the frauds should lie crimin ally prosecuted. The reports reached Mr. Teller’s hands, but not having been heard of since Senator Hill called upon the commis sioner of the land office for them. He replied that Secretary Teller had never returned them. Senator Hill thereupon introduced in the senate tho following resolution: Resolved, That the secretary of the interior bt’ directed to furnish to th- senate copies of the re ports of F. B. Hobbs and A. R. Green, inspector of the general land oilice, on the subject of thv fraudulent acquisition of titles to lands in Nev Mexico and of all testimony accompanying tl» same and also copies of ah papers on file in tha interior department relating to this subject. The letters referred to are from Col. Webb, the editor of the Las Vegas Gazette, and E. D. B. Abrahams aud were offered in suppoil of the resolution. It is said, upon the authority of one of the counsel for Gun. Swaim, that tho findings of the court in his case are in sulislance as follows: As to the charge of con duct unbecoming an officer and gen tleman, not guilty; as to tlie charge of neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline in tailing to report to the secretary of war his knowledge of the alleged duplication of Col. Morrow's i>ay ac counts, guilty, with a recommendation that Gen. Swaim be temporarily mispended on half pay. No information is as yet obtainable at the war department as to the findings of the court, the officials in whose custody they are being under pledge of secrecy. The niern beiuof the cpui’t arc sworn to secrecy. A note was sent to Henry Irving by Henry Ward Beecher. Mr. Irving was in his room at the Arlington when the note came. Mr. Irving refused to receive the note. He sent it back to the office. Word was sent up to him that the note was from Beecher. Irving said, “1 am well aware of it. I decline to (>i>en it.” It was then sent to an agent of Irving and Mas found to be a request for a box. The investigation into the conduct of Mar shal Wright, of Cincinnati, which lias been conducted by Mr. Springer’s sulwxMnmitbM?, has closed. Two reports will be made, one by Messrs. Springer and Van Alstyne (demo crats), repivsenting the majority, arid one by Mr. Stewart (republican) in behalf of the minority. Gen. Hazen has made public tl e diaries kept during the Greely encampment in the Arctic regions. They show that insubordination and discontent prevailed to some extent, and that occasional theft was practiced. Lieut. Greely ' writes that he would have ordered the offend er lulled had he thought such action would have been upheld.

MRS. MYRA CLARK GAINES’ WILL. A Witness Who Was Kept from the Dying Woman’s Room. New Orleans, Feb. 9.—ln the examina tion of witnesses in the matter of the probate of tbe last will and testament of the late Mrs. Myra Clark Gain< i s for the jxwt few days, the evidence of experts went to prove the will of January 8 a forgery. Mrs. Marie Evans had known Mi’s. Gaine® since 1870; from beginning to end the acquaintanceship was most intimate and friendly. On Friday, January 9, witness first heard of Mi’s. Gaines’ illness. She immedi ately went to see Mrs. Gaines, saw a girl whom she questioned and followed up stall’s as far as Mr. Christmas’ room. Mr. Christ mas in an excited manner rushed toward Mrs. Gaines’ room, and throwing his arms across the door said: “Madam you can’t go in there.” Witness expostulated, and he male no reply, but advanced into Mrs. Gaines’ room and whispered to a lady dressed in black, who advanced to witness, and said: “You cannot see Mrs. Goines. It would do you no good, madam, to sec; her. She is barely breathing and tmconscious.” Witness was asked her name but did not give it. She afterward learned that she hud been falsely informed of Mrs. Gaines’ condition. She immediately returned to the ho ese, but hesitated to enter. After passing the house several times she noticed a woman di <ssed in dark in the doorway. The woman held a handkerchief in her hand. Af ter a few questions in a very low tone of voice the woman asked if witness was Mrs. Evans, and handed her the handkerchief, saying that it was the fulfillment of a solemn promise to Mrs. Gaines. The woman also asked that she would not “bring her in,” and that nothing about her agency in the matter should be spoken of. While witness’s attention was dis tracted by the handkerchief, tho woman dis appeared, witness thought that it must have been into tbe house. Witness then returned home with the handkerchief. She found the will of January. Some flays alterward wit ness met Mrs. Gonzales and recognized her as the woman who hud handed her the handker chief. The Canadians Thoroughly Frightened.
