cinantic creatures, ntlerward ascertained to
be the buttle-uosc species, lad been observed

'tlon of a Young Woman In Iowa.
From the Davenport GaZctte, eth.1 -

A man giving his naHle rs william Browns
who was formerly lieutenant IN the I'd Iowa
cavalry, and Young Toman' arrived a ssa, IN saaS
incs at tho New York House, on the corner Of
Third md Iowa streets They represented
that they had just arrived from Iowa City,
where they had been married the previous
evening. On Sunday Last the pretended wife
was suddenly taken sick. Her actions md
tho symptoms Of her disease were such q to
cause much suspicion. On Mondny her Ill
ness increased, on Tuesday she was still worse,
quite speechlcss, In With state she has re-
1lained ever since. II was at first supposed
that she lad been poisoned, but the physi-
Clans who have visited her do not altogether
agree upon That point. She showed the great
st. st a o ana 81 a1 pso%n Thsn
making signs US though trying to reveal some
terrible secret: She world open her mouth
and try 10 clutch her tongue and then pull.
apparently s.gnifyine that Brown had palled
1.cr tongue out, and as the roots Of that men,
her are swelled, 1t Is prcsulnable that Brown
did pull 1t, as be hld Threatened to do So.
TIE woman also makes motions to Indicate
that either an attempt or threat Was male
t0 cut her throat. Previous to loosing her
speech she expressed the conviction thai she
Ind been made the Victim Of q sham marriage.
Size said t1.at brown had boldly declared to
her that such wnS the. case. She EnFe her
name as Nclltc Bakcr, said she WIS engngefl
to Brown before the war; that when he came
home she met him, went with him to Iowa
City, put up at hotel, and in the evening lo
brought In q man whom he introduced Us q
minister. They Joined hanls, went through
the marriage ceremony and came here next
day. hut she Ind neve- seen any license or
certificate. The man Brown. was yesterday
arrested md placed in jail to await further
Developments. He denies her statement, and
that she IL his wife. He is about . years old,
she is "a. When asked to write; her state:
ment she efsnified her inability TO do so, on
account Of her fingers being too stitI. :
A stage driver stopping ut tic same house
showed symptoms q few dnys Ego of having
heen poisoned, aad il was supposed that Q
glass Of wliskcy; which was prepared for him
by Brown, had contained the drug.
There Is dark mystery hanging abont
this affair, which time may possibly clear up.
That the fellow Brown Il d rascal there can b.
but little doubt. He bonsted to tha officers
who arrested him, that " they'd hare q gooi
time proving TINT he poisoned the womau,'
and his general demeanor In conn elton with
tho circumstances goes to show thai he cares
but little about the woman. : He will proba

Many officers, on 1enrlng the service, were
permitted to make affidavit that they were
not indebted to the Government In any man
ncr whatever, aud that thoy had rendered
proper rcturns 10 the same. The Government
did this N order that officers might get paid
ut time of mustcr.out of commands to which
they belonged, without having to wait months
to secure their certificates OF nou-inaehtedncss
before they could hare received final pay
mcnt. The authorities hare found out That
many officers have made affidavit OF their
Observation-Disclosures who have not rendered
their proper returns to the various Depart
ments-
! This matter is now about to b taken m,
and will ba thoroughly. :sffsed, and officers
now out Of service will hnye to account for
their negligence Of this duty the sanie az u
they were still In the service. It Is very
foolish idea on the part of an officer who has
been responsible, thnt such responsibility
ceases because he hns received Its final pay
me1,t. If such officer has been SO paid, and
is found to be short on bis returns, he will be
considered as having obtained payment under
false prctenses, and will be held to tho charge
