I.lfe—Scene, in the Arctic Regions—Love. Pabkersbubo, W. Va., March 14.—An other sensation is added to the already over burdened list with which this city has been surfeited during the past winter. The facts which give rise to it are of more than local importance. The account of the horrible and almost in human manner in which Private Charles B. Henry, of the late Greeley expedition, came to his death is still fresh in the minds of newspaper readers the world over. But lit tle could be obtained at the time concerning the history of this ill-fated man that was of general interest, and the fact of his heroic service and terrible death was about all the world was destined to know of him, had not a combination of circumstances led to the facts stat d below. It see.ns that a lady of this city, whose name, through courtesy, is not divulged, was the betrothed of Henry. Their ac qu'untance came about through a reply of tiie lady to an advertisement for an anony mous correspondent. Henry at that time was a private in the United States cavalry stationed at Jefferson, Mo. Their corre spondence, which began in 1879, was con tinued through the different stages of for mality, friendship and love until their two hearts, though far apart, beat in unison, and they looked forward with rapture I > the time when their joys and sorrows should be united. The following letters, which were obtained after much persuasion from the young lady in question, will be read with interest. The first is dated at Lady Franklin Bay, August 9,1881. Prefaced by many affectionate ex pressions, it continues: “Here lam in this barren, cold and deso late region. * * * On the 7th of July we left St. John, Newfoundland, and ten days, three of which were very stormy and rough, saw us in Disco, Greenland, where we remained for four days, having lots of fun with the pretty Esquimaux girls, and at tending a dance every night, gotten up for our especial benefit. From here we went to Upernavik, the most northerly inhabited settlement in the worl 1, w here we remained for five days, being royally welcomed and entertained by the governor, Herr Elberg. There we took on two native hunters and thirty-two dogs, with a quantity of sealskins fur clothing. The first day out from U. wo encountered a small ice floe, and upon it we saw our first polar bear. 11, id the honor of putting the first bullet in him, and he was finally dispatched by Lieut. Kislingbury. Tile next day we killed a seal. From this time (July 30) until we arrived within twelve miles of our destination, we had no further trouble with the ice, but then we met with a large mass of ice, extending as far as the eye could reach, and more than eight feet in thickness. Since then (August 3) until (August 9), we have been battling with ice . ever since but have made no progress, and see no possible chance for a speedy delivery. * * * From time to time I will add a few lines to this letter, but 1 am kept very busy, doing all the writing for the commander, and keeping the stores and provision account. All on board are well. August 15.—Arrived at Discovery Bay, August 11, impossible to write more; am herd at wojrk unloading. Good-by until next year, when you can adilress “C. B. Henry, care chief signal officer, Washington, D. C.” This was the last communication from Henry, for npthing from the 18th of August in that year was known of the expedition until those wlio had gone to the rescue ar rived, when Henry was found among the dead. The next letter, which was written by Henry to his betrothed at tbs time when the correspondence liegan, is perhaps the best evidence of his former life yet published. A ll attempt was made by the department at Washington to secure it, but without success. * * * “There is no use of dwelling on my boyhood days, or college scrapes. When the Franc,.-Prussian war was declared in / 1870, 1 was living with my father in Han over, Germany. He punished me severely for a fancied misdemeanor, and I concluded to run away from home. The German gov ennnent cailedfor men tor the ambulance corps, ami 1 enrolled; although I had con suferttol.; trouble to pass o.i account of my extreme youth, but with a few tears of per suasion l'moved the heart of the doctor and I started oi) the field of ail venture. After being assistant nurse in the hospital at Han over for a few weeks I volunteered to a - the Thirteenth Regiment of lancers, and one fine morning was packed away to the front. Had several narrow escapes at Metz, Toulon and Sedan, was present when tile haughty emperor of the French surren dered. At the close of the war I returned home clad in rags, but decorated with the ‘lron Cross,' of winch 1 felt prouder than the oldest veteran. My family, with the excep tion of my father, received me with kind ness. After a week or so of rest I concluded to wine to America, so July 1, 1871, I en gaged passage in- the North German Lloyd steamer ‘Hansa,’ and arrived in New York on the 13tb after a pleasant voyage. Here in America I had not a .-ingle friend. The first w ork I obtaineued was in a French-German restaurant. After remaining there four mouths I bought a through ticket for San Fr Acisco, but only went as far as Macon jC'.iy Mo., where I was engaged by W. W. Watkjps as night clerk in the North Missouri hotel, IL re 1 remained eight months, and jjwying hiui in my only regret, as my deaaest relative could not have been kinder than he. Desirous of perfecting myself in the English tongue, I next lenr ued the art of printing in Jhe office of the Daily Enterprise at Moberly, Mo. A reporter, Mr. L. Bru.in. was stricken with paralysis, and 1 was promoted to his place. After remaining in that capacity for a year, I was offered a situation as reporter on the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, accepted it, and made quite a success as translator from German into English." He then dwells at large on his travels in ' various parts of the world as newspaper cor respondent, and then continues. “In 1875 my desire to join the United States army and write descriptions of the same induced me to enlist. I was assigned to the Seventh cavalry, then at Louisviite, Ky., awaiting recruits. ’My officer soon discov ered my object and profession, and treated me with kindness ami respect. My articles on 'Baids on Illicit Distilleries’ and 'The Ku- Klux in Louisiana’ brought in a handsome revenue. In the early part of 18711 we were ordered to Dakota, and arrived there in Feb ruary; at Bismarck we moved into winter .quarters.” Tiie young lady in the Case is naturally the ■subject of much inquiry, but so far she h-i‘ sucee ided in concealing her secret to all bu. a trusted few. Imm sla .t visit to this city was in June, 1881, nt wiiicti time the one win now holds so dear every memento of hi. affection attempted to dissuade him from th. perilous undertaking in which he was about to engage, but all to no nui nase. He was n* thrill w th the desire for an Archie an ven• ture, and departed, only to terminate his lift in a manner so terrible to contemplate. “MONEY DOWN.” What M. D. Stood for on a So-Called Physician’s Sign. Philadelphia, March 14.—The trial of the famous Dr. John Buchanan and Rebecca R. Russell, charged with conspiracy wi T others to make and uttet bogus diplomas, has terminated. Peter Bu chanan, a brother of the dean, testified in re buttal of specific charges that bogus diplo mas had been issued by the accused. Mrs. Russell was next sworn. “My name is Mrs. Rebecca R. Russell Hurff,” said the witness. “I am in partner ship with Dr. Buchanan. I was to furnish all the money to pay for the publication of medical works and the preparation of the drugs. Dr. Buchanan is the author of the works and compounder of the medi cines.” “Is your name Hurff?” was the first ques tion in the cross-examination. “That is the name of the lady who brought me up,” said the witness. “The woman said she was not my mother and that I must not take that name—l never went by the name of Hurff.” “What did you give the name of Hurff here for?” “I am known to the world as Rebecca R. Russell Hurff.” “What does the ‘R’ stand for?” “It stands for nothing.” “Why didn’t you sign the name of Hurff instead of Russell in the articles of copart nership?” “I am a relation of Dr. Buchanan. He is my father.” “Have you any other name, Mrs. Rus sell?” “I am a married lady. My husband’s narn • was Winfield King.” “Why don’t you go by that name?” “I never did. We married and agreed to separate. That was ten or twelve years ago. I d< ft know whether my hu band is dead or alive.” “When did you study medicine?” “I have studied medicine for ten years in Salem, N. J., and in this city.” “Where did you graduate?” “I have not graduated.” “Are you a doctor? You had a sign out with an ‘M. D.’ to it.” “I have no diploma. The ‘M. D.’ stood for money down.” “Do you understand the sanctity of an oath?” “I do,” said the witness.” “Do you mean to say that when you put ‘M. D. ’on the sign that you meant money down ?” “I do. That is exactly what I meant. I say that under oath. It didn’t make any dif ference what people believed—l am not re sponsible for what they believe.” “What is your age?” “I am twenty-eight or thirty years old. don’t know positively which.” “How long have you known Dr. Bur chanan!” “Ever since I was six years of age.” “When did you first learn he was your father?” “Ten or twelve years ago.” “If you were this man's daughter, why did you nut mention that fact in the partnership agreement?” “I wished to save a terrible scandal. My mother is a respectable woman and I wanted to save her. I have made the matter public because I have been driven to it.” This closed the testimony, and the argu ment of counsel and the charge to the jury followed. The jury remained out for some time and then brought in a verdict convict ing Buchanan and acquitting Mi’s. Russell. A motion for a new trial has been made by the Dean’s counsel. OKLAHOMA DIFFICULTIES. The Cattlemen Ordered to Vacate and the Boomer* Still Resting. Arkansas City, Kan., March 14—Capt. Couch has sent the following dispatch to Sidney Clark and Gen. Weaver, the colonists’ representatives at Washington. “Thousands of men, women and children are on the way. We patiently await an in vestigation by President Cleveland. Make explanations to the secretary of war to the end of withdrawing troops. [Signed] “W. L. Couch.” The boomers arrested and taken to Wichita on Wednesday were released on giving $3,000 bonds for their ap ; >earauce at the Sej>- tember term of the United States district court. The boomers at once returned to Ar kansas City. As there are no boomers who participated in the last movement here to ar rest, Gen. Hatch will now have to resort to military force. Within the next week it will be known whether his orders are to fire on the settlers or not. Gen. Hatch has ordered Berry brothers to vacate at once their ranch which is on the Oklahoma lands. The cattlemen are con stantly receiving dispatches from Washing ton from parties who are acting as their agents. They are discouraged and know that it is now only a matter of time when they will all have to vacate. Gen. Hatch re c* Ive 1 h s first message from the new secre dry of war Wednesday, and will in all prob ability be acting under his orders. The president and Secretary Lamar are now fully informed concerning the Oklahoma controversy, and the representatives of the colonists will continue to push the question and urge that a decision favorable to the set tlers speedily be reached. Capt. Couch is in receipt of a letter from Sidney Clark asking them to move at once. In conversation with a rep<>rter Capt. Couch said he did not wish to embarrass the administra tion by a hasty move, but on the other hand if something was not soon done other colo nists would start, and in justice to his fol lowers he would also have to move. He says there are about 500 claims now staked out in Oklahoma. Most of them belong to mem bers of his colony, who are anxious to get there and commence putting in a crop. Into the Silent Majority. Rochester, N. Y., March 14.—Mary EL Conkling, sister of Roscoe Conkling, is dead, aged sixty. She had long been in poor health. Washington, March 14.—J. M.

EMMET’S LAST DRAMA. “O, My God, What Have I Done to You Both.” Albany, March 14—Joseph EL Emmet . has rarely acted a more touchingly, pathetic I and dramatic scene than the one in which he ' played the leading part in the court room. I The spree began in West Virginia last week, I calumnated at his picturesque home on the I boulevard., when ho assaulted his son because he had heard a report that the youth had re-' I cently married a girl here In defending himself the boy struck the actor, cutting Lis face, and Mrs. Emmett in alarm summoned the police and kept her husband in custody of the authorities during the night. When called by Judge Clute to meet his family, Emmett bore a slight resemblance to the handsome “Fritz” seen on the stage. The left side of his face, from his forehead down, was covered with congealed blood. His chin and upper lip have not been shaven for sev eral days, and the neglect made his swollen, bloated countenance look all the more un prepossessing. His attire was dirty and his 3urly hair was matted and disordered. His satire app arance showed the effects of his prolong! d.-bauch. As he entered the door ■iw Ills viie and son sitting with averted n tii corner. Taking two iteps uu sunk dr '.matically on iris knees in front of th rn, and clasping an arm about aacii, ex< a med: “Oh, my God! my wife and >on, what nave 1 done to you both, whom i love so well?” Then he broke into a fit of robbing, while his wife smoothed his hair with her hand, and the sou took his hand, ind each whisper <1 words of encouragement. Emmett continued to moan and bewail the . rrow he had caused, untilAhe son rose and went to the other room. Emmett then took the vacated seat, and clasping his wife with noth arm - pressed her lovingly to him and iissed her on tae brow. She did not cink from him, but took his hand lOirchief, wiped the tears from his face, and in a low tone said that the steps l*at would lie taken would be only cr his own good. Every few moments Em met would rock to and fro on the chair and itter b ’tween his sobs, “Oh, my God, what t i /e i done?” Then he renewed his pleadings ;o be taken home. Finally there was another onsultation between tie three and Judge Jlute. Tlie actor called God to witness Liat .u Aoal.i never, never act so again, and the nagi-trate said it lay with his wife. If she wa.' d ing to trust him there was noobjeS ; jm. .a a long conference and solemn prom ises ‘.i ih part of “Fritz" that he would do ao more violence and refrain from drinking, •i’ r m- ded family drove off to their . A. i officer accompanied them, and will ; cmam at the villa until Emmet cn ,ii- ;ly recovers from the effects of iris spree. u says: “It was the c 4d weather that drove ne Oxi this jamboree.” His son denies Lhe >tory that he has been secretly married. RAILROAD LEGISLATION. Governor Ireland’s Bill ( reates a Sensation in Texas. Al in, Tex., Marcii 14.—The senate, ’/tor a harp and prolonged discussion, has passed under suspension of the rules the Shannon bill to protect persons in the em [d > nc.it of railroad companies, and those who may wish to become employes thereof. The bill was dratted by Gov. Ireland. It p • ivides that thirty days’ notice shall be given persons in the em ployment of railways before their wages ran be reduced; also makes it punishable with a line of not more than SSOO and six months in the county jail, to obstruct or a bop a train or interfere with railroad em ployes. Only four senators opposed the bill. The debate at times became very acrimonious. Senator Rudolph, one of the best speakers in the state, opposed the bill, openly denouncing it as railroad jobbery, and harshly criticised Gov. Ireland for drafting a measure which in its title pretended to bring relief to work ingmen, whereas in truth, Mr. Ran dolph declares that it was a monstrous piece of legislative gag upon the freedom of speech and freedom of action, making it a, misdemeanor under the penal code for railroad employes to even by word prevent or persuade other men from engaging with companies. Senator Stinson created a consternation on the floor by boldly pointing out two well known railroad lobbyists within the bar of the senate who he demanded should with draw and cease their unholy work in the very face of the senate. When the rules were finally suspended, and a vote taken it was midnight, and great excitement pre vailing. Gov. Ireland and his friends are working hard for the passage of the bill, and will make an effort to have it railroaded through the house at one session, as it was in the senate. Conservative members of the legislature not employed as attorneys for railroads, in private conversation declare that the bill is the most remarkable piece of leg ißlatioti’they ever knew. DEATH FROM SMOKE. Tofng Man Inhales Cigarettes and Dies Suddenly. Washington, March 14.—A son of one of the professors at Columbian university in this city, died suddenly. So sudden was the at tack that a party of young men, who had been invited by the deceased to call upon him and play whist, kept their engagement only to find their friend a corpse. It was learned that the deceased, who was employed in the patent office, had been in the habit of indulging in cigarettes excessively, and in haling the smoke. Two physicians held a consultation and de cided that this practice had exercised a de pressing effect upon the action of the heart, and had hastened death. Aortic regurgita tion of tne heart was given as the primary cause of death, which had been increased by the indulgence of the deceased in the inhal i uent of cigarette smoke. Everything pos sible was clone by the physicians for their pa tient, but his constitution had been too surely undermined, and in his last days he was un able to rest quietly in bed, but maintained a sitting position. ‘ The scandal which would accompany the open trial of divorce suits would not Ibe as bad that arising from the rapid growth of divorces under the facilities al I lowed by star-chamber proceedings. I THE AFGHAN FRONTIER ENGLAND’S OVERTURES STILL UNAN SWERED BY RUSSIA. Conflict lug Reports Keep England tn a State i f Feverish Anxi f Dlgn.i Delimit at Tainanieb At erat. In Meinoria—Note*. « IH , A- J * • Ji . Eikdia C£ * t ‘ J- ' ARABIAN A 4BOVN DARY OFJNCIA MAP OF TERRITORY ABSORBED BY RUSSIA. London, March 14 —The tension about Afghanis;an still continues. The government has not yet received a definite reply from Russia to its latest overtures of an amicable settlement of the frontier dispute and is still waiting for it. A dispatch from Calcutta says that the government house has ordered the Indian railway companies to report upon their facilities for rapid transportation. Th& latest reports from Sir Peter Lumsden indi cate that matters are in a somewhat critical condition. He says tha “Afghan scouts re port that a small detachment of Russians has advanced to Nihalsheni, the furthest southwest point on the Heri-Rood claimed for the Russian frontier. The advance dot s not complicate the work of delimitation, but endangers a collission with with the Af ghans.” A dispatch from Meshed says ta.? belief prevails there that Russian troop from the Caucasus are massing at Askabad. So far there is no indication, however, that the Russians have goone beyond what they consider the Afghan boundary line. This is admitted by the PaH Mall Gazette, whi .• asserts that the Russians have advanced their outposts on the Zulfixar Pass further south, instead of withdrawing them north, as re quested to do by England. The Gazette en tertains grave fears of a collision between the Russians and Afghans, as the last ad vance has placed the opposing forces face to face. The North German Gazette supports the view hold by the Pall Mall Gazette, and says Pelijdeh is not an Afghan territory. An of ficially compiled map, says the North G r man Gazette, places the Russian frontier line nineteen miles south of Penjdeh and ninety four miles north of Herat. Therefore, if Russia advances south of Penjdeh, she only regains her own boun-.lary. The Times’ Berlin dispatch says it is not ioubted there that the Russian activity in Central Asia is largely the result of the Skiernevice meeting, when Bismarck was ir ritated at England’s refusal to accept his ad vances. The Evening News states that it is learned that remonstrances from the highest quar ters have been addressed to the czar in the interest of peace, and have met with such a chilling response that slight hopes are now entertained that hostilities can be averted. The cabinet met at noon—an unusually early hour, and at once attracted attention. Reports were quietly spread that a crisis was being considered. The interest in the meet ing was soon intense. This was warranted by several incidents which preceded and attended the council Immediately before the conference Col. George A. Maude, equerry-in-chief to the queen, called upon Gladstone and had a long interview. Among the rumors which this gave rise to was one to the effect that her majesty had been axlvised that the Indian situation was grave and require* I vigorous decision and action, aud that the queen rather urgently insisted on her government doing something. This and similar stories attracted a large crowd to Downing street, aud before the cab inet w r as long in session the prime minister s official residence was surrounded by a large crowd. Up to 3 o’clock it was not known what the ministers had none. It was reported they had decided to ad dress a serious representation to the Russian government thfct if through any Russian ad vance in Afghanistan a conflict results with the ameer’s troops, Russia must accept the consequences, as England is bound to guard Afghan territory. On rumors that Germany has offered her services as mediator in the Afghan dispute stocks recovered. Later—The relations of England and Russia are assuming a more favorable as pect. Baron De Stall has impai led to Lord Granville the contents of a dispatch from De > Giers, the Russian minister of foreign as- ' fairs, in which it is stated that the czar I earnestly desires a speedy and peaceful solu tion of the existing difficulty. De Giers de nies that the Russian outposts iiave been ad vanced beyond the limits claimed as the frontier. It is reported that De Stall in formed Granville that the movement of the Rwision troops toward Askabad was not or- 1 dered until the position on the frontier be came threatening. Autograph letters have been exchanged between Queen \ ictoria aud , the Emperor William, and the latter is using , his personal influence with the czar to pro- 1 serve peace. Bismarck remains passive, and he made no official representation to Russia. ■ Digna Defiant. Suakim, March 14.—Osman Digna, in an ticipation of a Bj' ux 'h attack, is concen trating his follower, at Tamanicb. Informa tion received from a reliable native source shows that rh.iusan's .J a; mal Arabs have already arr.v I at Tanriixieb.

Mr. Sherman retorted that he saw no nec cessity for asking 'to be excused. That he positively declined to serve. Air. Ingalls submitted a resolution which was laid over, calling on the president for all the i information in his posession respecting the invasion of Oklahoma lauds aud what, if any, action lias been taken in regard to the veto. Mr. Beck announced that Air. Ransom was excused from further service on the appro priations committee at bis own request, the work being too laborious for the senator’s health. Air.

The senate then went into executive session and in a few minutes adjourned until Mon , day. Washington Waifs. Washington, Afarch 14.—1 tis rumored at the capitol that Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, is suffering from blood and is in a very critical condition. Capt. Joseph Potter, of New York, who is an applicant for the Haytien mission, is in Washington with a very strong endorsement of New York mechanics and shippers. He has made his wishes known to the secretary of state, who, it is said, received his passes and placed them on file. The ser»te, in executive session, confirmed the nomination of Charles 8. Fairchild, of New York, to be assistant secretary of the treasury, and the chair laid before the ses sion a communication from the president, withdrawing the Nicaragua and Spanish treaties.

Hereafter there will be no permanent employment on the fraud roll. In the Hazen court martial the judge ad vocate read the application from counsel foi the accused, asking subpoenas to be issued to several witnesses. The judge advocate thought the counsels should be required to show that ! the evidence of the parties will be material . to the case. The court overruled the objec ! tion, and the judge advocate offered in evi dence a memorandum, which accompanied I the report of the secretary of war on De i cember 11, 1883, containing a joint discussion •of the secretaries of war aud navy, that it was impracticable to send a relief for Greely that year. Gen. Hazen’s counsel opposed the admission ol this, on the grounds that the issue oof ore the I court involved only a decision of the secre | tary of war, and not joint decision of that officer and the secretary of the navy. The court decided to adjdurn the memorandum. Three Negroes Lynched. Nashville, Tenn., March 14.—Three ne> ' groes, Charles Latham, Frank Freeman and Almus Young, were taken from the court ' house at Union City, Tenn., aud hung.
