The following is the confession OF the notorious
wife murderer, which was made public in the Eng

wanted me to bring the box home Mr. Christie
asked me II he might make use OF the money. My
wife seemed determined TO fetch the box
herself. ] knew he could not give it to
me. on the 14th of June, 1881, Mr: Christie
asked me to go TO Yarmouth TO pay $1,000 TO a cap
tain of vessel laden with salt, TO enable him to
load on the Monday morning. On Sunday morning,
the 10Th, was going to Yarmouth on the above err
rand She (my wfe) said, ''You shall not go; shall
go TO Mr.. Christie and get the box OF money myself

HELP FOR CUBA.

Departure of an Expedition from New York.
For the following story the New York Tribune is
respOnSble:-
We published a week ago the fact of the departure
OF an expedition for Cuba from this city on the
Wednesday night previous together with other eX-
elusive intelligence concerning the activity of the
Cuban agents in New York. We have since learned
the following interesting and important particulars
of this expedition THE vessel was the famous
fast sailing schooner GrapeshOt, memorable
for the part she took in the capture of Lewis Baker,
indicted for the killing OF William Poole. She sailed
from Hunters Point, where, for week previous,
she had undergone extensive repairs on the marine
railway, foot OF Seventh street, under the supern
tendenCe Of Messrs. Boggs Davis. As her object
and destination We're kept perfectly secret, she
cited little curiosity among the few frequenters
of that neighborhood. The schooner was heavily
loaded with boxes containing arms and munitions OF
war consisting OF muskets rifles, fixed ammunition
Of all kinds, hOwitZers, harness, etc. besides num-
Der of barrels containing about 100000 rounds Of
cartridges. These were placed in the hold, taxing it
TO its utmost capacity while the deck was loaded
with boxes containing harness and other light art-
ces with the necessary water-casks for the voyage
ON the night Of her sailing, 30 men were taken on
board together with the necessary provisions, and
the vessel quietly sailed on her hazardous under
taking under the command OF Captain Kempton,
formerly Of the United States navy. The Grapeshot
has probably reached her destination ere this. The
vessel, II Is understood, was fitted out under the
auspices Of the Cuban Junta of New York city.

OBITUARY.

Hon. James Williams. OF Tenuesscc'
This gentleman who was United States Minister TO
Constantinople during the administration OF Presi-
dent Buchanan, died at GratZ, in Austria, on the
10th Of April Mr.. Williams was one OF the most
distinguished citizens OF Tennessee. He was edu-
Gated at West Point, joined the army and rose to the
rank OF captain, and as such served with credit
through the Florida war. lie subsequently entered
the ranks OF Southern journalists, and started the
Knoxville Post, paper which he edited with marked
ability. He served in the Legislature for several
years in the meantime becoming largely Interested In
the boating interests OF the Tennessee river and
acCumuating a large fortune thereby. He also
founded the Bank of Chattanooga, In 1856 he en-
gagged actively in the Presidential campaign in be-
half Of Mr. Buchanan, and was the author Of me-
morabe series Of papers signed "An 0ld-Lne Whig'
President Buchanan appointed him Minister to
Turkey. While occupying this post he made at
heavy personal expense, and for the protection OF
church missionaries at large tour of the Turkish
domnions, accompanied by an escort and retinue Of
from eighty to a hundred persons, paying from his
own private means the entire expense of the eXpcdi-
ton, journeying from Constantinople to Damascus,
and thence to Jerusalem and Egypt This self-im-
posed duty accomplished much to facilitate the work
of American missionaries abroad. AT the outbreak
OF the late war, Mr. Williams rendered his resgna-
ton. Two of his daughters had married into the
nobility OF Austria, and he retired to the estate of
one OF his sons-in-law, Baron kavanaugh, where he
has lived until the time OF his death He leaves two
daughters and a son in Tennessee. Mr.. Williams
was the author OF several works political SUBJECTS
which enjoyed wide popularity in the West and

OFFICE OF THE EVENING TELEaRAPH,l
MondaU Nav r


Financially the close of the last month
was very auspicious one, compared
with its opening. Twsnty days ago the banks
were practically closed to our business men, and
their limited resources applied almost
exclusively to speculative purposes; at the
present time they are in a very easy
working condition, and are daily making
progress in strength whilst the rates are soften
ing in about equal proportion. The weekly
statements OF the banks, for the last three weeks
have shown steady improvement in resources,
aud we have no doubt that the statement which
will be issued to-day of the transactions of the
past week, will give further indications in the
same favorable direction. Under these circum-
stances, 1t may be fairly expected that the local
money market will continue, as now, to favor
every branch of trade and industry
Call loans are made at 5C06 per cent on Gov
emment bonds, and at 6(oO7 per cent. on miscel-
laneous securities. Discountng at the banks
for those who keep fair accounts is easy ut 6CaS
per cent Outside the banks the rates are about
the same for prime sgnatures-the latter figure
perhaps prevailing.
Government securities are again strong and
show decided advance tendency. The Gold
market is firm, and the premium is still adyanc-
ing, opening at 1885 and ut IL NJ. standing
ut 1885.
The Stock market was characterized by ex-
treme dullness, there being very little disposi-
tlon manifested TO enter into speculative enter
prises OF any kind. State loans were without
change. City skies were steady, with sales of
the new issues at 1917; 98 was bid for the old
The Lehigh gold loan was somewhat stronger,
selling at 94L.

In this dilemma may suggest the following hypO-
thetcal explanation: II Livingstone, when az the
southern end of the Lake Tanganyika, satisfied him
sef that its waters were about 1900 feet above the

the much higher equatorial lakes
N This case he would abandon tne nOfbnern route
IN which IL was supposed he might find the waters of
the Tanpanyika flowing into the Albert Nyanza Of
Roker Haying also ascertained that the Tanganylka
was fed by rivers flowing from the south and the
