on Saturday morning, at the advanced age of
81 years. Captain Robinson has lived for
many years upon the farm where ne died, was
a man of the strictest integrity, bearing

heart in which there was apparently no guile,
and he naturally drew towards him many true
friends and made no enemies. The funeral

Another portion Of the Kennebec dam was
carried away sometime during Thursday
night, injuring the structure more than the
carrying away Of the first portion during
the great freshet. Probably the section that
has just been removed was weakened by the
first freshet. The water above the dam has
fillen about three feet, leaving the canals
nearly empty.

OBITUARY.
Jobu Stantou (StI,orry O,I,auus,,)


Yesterday morning, at his residence in Brooklyn,
died genial John Stanton, the 'Corry O'Lanus" of
the Brooklyn Eagle. His death was not unexpected,
ard lie passed quietly aud easily away, like tired
man gliding from the toll OF the day into sweet
stun ber and happy dreams.
John Stanton was born in London November a.
1892. At the age of fifteen he came to the United
States, and after engaging in various associations in
New Jersey became workman In fireworks fac-
tory in Williamsburg. From this new field of labor
he was, to speak, blown into literature, perhaps
the only instance OF the kind on record. In 1852
terrible explosion occurred in the building, by which
two lives were lost. Stanton, although much
frightened was unharmed, and lost no time In rush
ing to the office of the Williamsburg Times with
full report of the disaster. This was his first essay
as reporter but so well pleased was the editor Of
the paper with the young tyro's work that he at
once engaged him as one OF his staff.
Three years later he became an dttdche of the
Brooklyn Eagle and held his position on that JOUR-
nal until his death, with the exception of about two
years, during which time he was identified with the
Brooklyn Nelcs. He contributed frequently also to
the Commercial Advertiser, the Sunday Mercury, and
other New York papers.
1884, for the Sunday Mercury. Shortly afterwards,
however, he gave his whole time and attention to
the Eagle and from that day almost up TO the date
OF his death the newsboys at the Fulton Ferry were
wont every Saturday to announce to the public the
"Full Account OF Cory OLanus," much to their
ultimate profit
few months ago Mr.. Stanton's health began to
give way and the proprietors OF the Eagle generously
offered him furOugn. He went to Florida, whence
vinced that his life was fast ebbing away he re-
turned home to die.

circle OF devoted friends to mourn his loss.

A GREAT REBELLION.
The Troubles In Northwestern ChIna-1OO.-
coo Men Engaged,

600 Men EHsuRed.
The war in Europe has been regarded as
exceptional for the great armies engaged on
either side but conflict now raging in Asia
has quite as large armies in the field, though
scarcely anythipg is heard of it in this part of
the world. Reliable advices put the number of
Shen-si rebels under Ma Ho Loong in the
northwestern part of China at 459 900 men, who
are opposed by 800 600 imperialist troops.
Pekin letter to the Hong Kong Mail says that
the rebels are shut up in an island district
formed by the splitting of the Yellow River in
the extreme northwest of Shen-si, in Ming Asia,
Flu. They are shut in on all except the Kansuh
side, whence they procure ample supplies both
for themselves and their animals, of which each
man has two or three. Foreign arms they obtain
from the western Mahomedan Cities but no
cannon; they are very plucky and will kill as
long as they have knife. The Imperalsts are
expecting supply of foreign guns and shells to
arrive in September; but they will have little
effect for though the rebel camp is within
range the imperiaist gunners will not be able
to beat down the intrenchments. Ii Hung
Chang has his headquarters at the capital of
Shen.si, 250 miles from the rebels. at which
safe distance he directs the operations of the
imperialists. When fight takes place Mu-Fu-
Shan always reports another victory. The pack
mules, with grain for the troops, take twenty
six days to march across Shen-si. My inform
ant started with 300 mules, and had only 20
when he reached his destination, the rest
having been killed and eaten to piece out life
by the way. The mules always consume half
tHer loau ol grain on Lne way. supplies Tor
the troops are drawn from Northern and East
ern Shen-si Northern Sbensi is spoken of
as depopulated. Solitary travellers are killed
and eaten. The troops secure themselves from
similar fate by going in bands Those of the
inhabitants who have not been either killed or
forced into the rebel or imperial hosts have fed
for safety to the charcoal pits among the hills,
whence they prowl about like wild beasts for
subsistence. My informant expects that the
rebels will hold their island pasition for TWO
years vet, unless the foreign gums scare them
out, which he does not expect. He says they
have all the silver and gold of Kansun and
Shen-si with them, melted down into solid
masses the size of water kongs.

TERRIBLE SUICIDE.
A German Kills Himself While In b ed with his
Wife.

At about 1 o'clock fhis morning Herman
schenlen, German cigar-maker, 43
years of age, residing with his wife Amelia, and
his son Frederick, the latter aged twelve years,
on the first floor of the tenement house No. 1877
Chrystie street, committed suicide by
shooting himself in the mouth
while in bed with his wife. Schenlen
was reputed to be in good circumstances
and bore an excellent character in the neighbor-
hood as an industrious and sober man. Yester-
day morning he had a slight quarrel with his
wife in regard to some money matters but the
difference was settled amicably during the day,
and in the evening he retired to rest as usual
with his wife, the boy sleeping in an adjoining
room. At about one o'clock Mrs. Schenen was
awakened by the report of pistol close to her
head, resting on the pillow beside her husband,
ar d felt a warm stream striking her face. The
frightened woman sprang from her bed, and light
ing lamp, most horrible sight was revealed to
her gaze. Her husband was living dead on the
bed with a portion of his skull blown entirely
away and the pillow covered with blood and
brains. single-barrelled pistol was grasped
in his right hand, which was elevated at q right
angle to his face and the muzzle of the pistol in
his mouth. Death must have been almost in-
stantaneous. No other cause but the dis
agreement with his wife can be assigned for the
suicide.-N. Y. World to day.

ance, is one which will secure the hearty SYM
pathy and approval of the EHglish people. That
a daughter OF the Royal family should be bestow-
ed upon subject of the Crown is an event
which believe has not happened in the history
of Engla and for 200 years. / do not believe there
is any man in England who will regret that the
Crown should be guided by wise policy, and
thus have brought itself into more close and
immediate relation with the people of this coun-
try" The Observer says:-'It is expected that
Parliament will be asked to present the Princess
Louise, on her marriage with the Marquis of
Lorne, with the same dowry ae that granted to
the Princess Helena on her marriage to Prince
Christian of Schleswig- -Holstein, namely,
$50, ,000 and an annuity of $4,000. Although no
precise date has yet been announced for the
marriage, it. is understood that the nuptias will
probably take place about the first week in
February. The interesting ceremony will most
likely be celebrated at Windsor Castle"

TROUBLE BREWING.
Rumors of Movement In the Senate Against
President Grant.

Washington despatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial gives some particulars about a
strong opposition to the administration that
it says, is expected to develop itself at the
next session of Congress. President Grant, we
are told no longer acts as in the first year of his
term, upon his impulses and. according to his
views of right, but is more sensitive as
TO the public opinion upon his actions;
reading the newspapers and consulting
prominent men MORE to be guided Ia his
course by them. 1t is added that 1t cannot be
longer concealed however, that General Grant
is politically becoming the target of many un-
friendly arrows, and he is becoming more anX-
ious to please both the people and the politicians.
1t was for this he appointed Morton; 1t was for
this that he removed Cox; and for this he will,
ere many months, remove both Akerman and
RobesoB. The course of the opposition to the
President is not fully understood, but it is eX-
pected TO be confined more particularly to the
Senate, though it is not likely that there will
be any open rupture. Among those who are
named as displeased with the President
for various reasons are Senators Fem
ton, Osborn, Harris, Mcdonald, and
as unfIiendly on account of San Domingo but
more on account of Motleys recall; and for the
latter reason Senator Wilson'S called unfriendly.
The imbrogio between Grant and Schurz is said
10 be assuming alarming proportions, while
Senators Spencer Ross, Sprague, Fowler, and
others, for personal reasons, will always vote
against the Presidents personal interest. The
confirmation of the Presidents brother-in-law,
Kramer, as Mlnleler 10 denmark, Wlll De Op-
posed as well as the promotions OF Admirals
Porter and Rowan The removal of Secretary
Cox is assigned rs one cause of dissatisfaction.
The despatch concludes
"There are many Senators, such as Trumbull,
Sumner, and Ballard, who will not go out of
their way to vote for anything which the Presi-
dent is particularly interested in but will be
likely to do the reverse. AS for Mr. Sumner
personally, he will accept the gage of battle
thrown down to him, and will take open ground
that the Executive in attending DuQl6l
Senators for exercising their privilege in voting
against treaties and appropriations, is assuming
the same attitude towards Congress as that pre-
sumed ON by Andrew johnson. The Shrewd
politicians such as Morton, Cameron, Chandler
Williams, and Sherman may prevent serious
difference between the Senate and the Presi-
dent, but at the present time the political hori
zon as seen from the capital is very cloudy"
