A Man and His Wife Drowned i'm a
Cistern.

Wednesday morning the inhabitants
of the quiet village of Hartford were
startled with the report that Martin
Nc ugo and his wife had been found
drowned In cistern The rumor was
soon ascertained to be correct, and it
was not long before nearly the entire
population of the place rushed to the
scene of the accident to learn all there
was to be known of the sad catastrophe
The facts in regard to the terrible cas-
ualty, as far as we have been able to
learn them, are briefly as follows /:
Mr.. McHugo and his wife resided about
one mile from the village upon small
farm, and were quite alone, their
youngest child, miss of Is, being in
this city at school. AS the house
stands several rods from the road, the
fact that the passing neighbors did not
observe either of them for a day or
two was not thought strange; but a
friend having occasion to call on We'd
nesday morning suspected that all was
not right, and, upon examination of the
premises, discovered to his horror the
dead bodies of the two unfortunate
persons in the cistern. AS neither the
| man nor his wife have been seen since
| Monday forenoon, the theory of the
casualty is that they must have fallen
in on that day and persisted by the
slow agony of a living burial. The
| woman is supposed to have accldently
fallen in, and her screams for help
brought her husband to the rescue, who
dropped her rope which she fastened
under her arms. Then, in his attempt
to draw her out, the curbing and planks
gave way, precipitating him also into
the cistern. And now comes the most
horrible part of this dreadful affair
The water was only three or four feet
deep, bat without the ability to rescue
themselves from the terrible situation,
or to have their cry of distress heard
by mortal ear, they persisted almost in
sight and hearing of their own nei Oh
bors and Thanksgiving together, but
as thoroughly isolated from all other
help and sympathy as if locked in a
laundering ship that goes down into
depths of the sea. May God help the
man or woman whose painful duty il
shall be to break the sad news to that
child thus cruelty bereft of both par
ents in a manner so sudden and heart
rending.- Milwaukee Sentinel, April

VERDICT ON THE ATLANTIC'S
LOSS.

The commission appointed to in
quirs into the loss of the Atlantic of
which E. Nj Mcdonald, of Halifax,
was President, has rendered decision
The White Star Line Company is cen
sured for failing to provide the vessel
with an adequate supply of coal for her
passage across the Atlantic. The
course of Capt. Williams after he bore
up for Halifax is condemned, leaving
the deck as h. did at midnight when
he was approaching a dangerous and
unknowa shore. His neglect to have
lookout; his failure to sac the lights:
and bis onmitting to have the lead
cast when the chart showed that he
was on sounding, all deserve severe
censurs, and would Justify eaDcclling
Capt. Williams certificate as Master,
Dat in consideration of his praiseworthy
and energetic efforts to save life after
the ship struck, the mitigated penalty
of suspension of his certificate for two
years is recommended.
Fourth Officer Brown is severely
reprimanded for his conduct in pre-
venting servant from calling the
Captain at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock as
he directed, so that he vas not awak en-
cd till 3:17 when the ship struck, and
also for failing to see light aud land
when he ought. It is recommended
that his certificate be suspended three
months

Ex Extraordinary Railway Steal.

WAsHINGToN, April pa gen
man in official life, just arrived from
Costa Rca, brings information of the
fnal CO lapse of one of the greatest
railway swindles of the age, in which
nearly all the prominent officers Of that
Government were involved The
scheme was the Coast Rica Railway
Company. Two loans were success
fully placed, c,iehy upon the English
market, one for 5000, 900, the other
for Sl2 900, 900. -Four million dollars
were expended, partly upon salaries to
officers, partly upon surveys, and to
some extent upon actual work. The
remainder of S13, 100000 was divided
among members of the ring. The
agent who negotiated the loan in Lon
d1n set forth that custom receipts were
pledges for the redemption of the prin-
cipal and interest of the bonds. and
the bonds bear this pledge on their
face. In order to convince English
capitalists that the resources of Costa
Iiica, and especially customs were
abundant to secure the loan, the Min
lister of Finance made a sham report
to the President OF that republic, and
the President transmitted it to Cen
gress, and it was ordered printed.
This represented that all the resources
were about five times as great as they
real y were. In the same manner, in
order to show large population, the
Minister of War made report repre-
senting the army at 10000, and upon
that document the agent for the loan
set up the claim that the population of
the republic was about 400 900. By
such representations, based upon full
set of official reports manufactured for
the purpose. both loans were success
fully placed upon the market. The
whole scheme has now collapsed and
the bonds are comparatively worthless.

THE M0D0U WAR.

On the I4th inst,. Colonel Gillem
commenced warlike operations against
the Modoc.. Next day while marching
along the shore of Lake Tule, just at
shs head of Long Cave, about a mile
and q half from Jacks camp, the troops
sneountered.th the first opposition from the
indians The fight continued Tor
two days with varying success, our
troops suffering the loss of several Kill
led and wounded. The fire from the
mortars which was kept up, annoyed
the Indians very much. and they
could be heard in their position in the
Lava beds yelling and shouting at .
furious rate. The Indians did not cone
out of their position to fight, giving
eur troops but little opportunity to
pick them off. They Modocs are so
strongly intrsnched that to dislodge
them is next to impossible with the
small force operating against them.
The aim of Col. Gillem therefore is to
sndesvor to cut off their retreat from
the Lava bed, and by surrounding them
compel a surrender. The latest iatelll
rsanoa frouo tho scano af aotiou would
indicate that the Modocs havs escaped
from their stronghold, although moth
ing definite is known of the matter
We are assured that there is great &C.
tivity in military circles on the Pacific
coast. Troops have been forwarded
in hot haste from San Francisco to the
seat of war, and unless the dreaded
epizootic, which it is reported has just
appeared at the seat OF war, deprives
the calvary of all power to move, we
shall doubtless hear of effective work
among the Modocs within reasonable
time. 1t is the intention to make
such an example of the Modocs as will
give the Indians throughout the coun-
try a more correct idea than they evil
IDENTIFY possess regarding the precise
peace policy which is the purpose of
the government to enforce
