The death of Martin Schuster, a
wealthy hotel proprietor OF Brooklyn, from
hydrophobia, was terrible affair. Schuster
was bitten ten weeks ago by large blood
hound. On Sunday afternoon he began to

became acute. He experienced difficulty in
respiring, and barked and growled like a dog.
His sufferings were terrible, and in anguish
and frenzy he attempted to bite one of his
children and fought the doctor like demon.

are known, must guide your readers
to conclusion as to the cause of the
calamity. Information derived from
many sources, including, of course,
the observations of officers engaged in
the battle, leads to the conclusion that
$500 or 5000 Indians composed the
fighting force arrayed against Custer
and his six hundred. Still these were
odds which any officer of the Seventh
cavalry would have unhesitatingly ac-
cepted for his regiment under any or
binary circumstances of Indian war

immediate command was designed not

Indians but to afford support to Custer

woman in the safe burglary business. This
has not been published, or publicly suspected,
until now. The lSergeant-at-Arms is on her
track, and expects to have her here in three
days. For prudential reasons her name cannot
now be given. This woman is said to be the
missing link that will convict the professional
burglars who did the miserable Job with the
mysterious persons who, sitting in a'darkened
room with pebbles in their mouths, to disguise
their voices, conducted the original neeotia-
tons with Mike Hayes.
The Judiciary Committee tonight COM
menced their first secret Investigation of this
subject and expect in few days to arrive at
the missing link. Those who ought to know
most about this mysterious affair insist that
the evidence Is forthcoming which will fully
explain it. Three witnesses of importance

woman mentioned. The Witnesses who have
already been examined in the old investiRa- |
dons and IN the courts, are not to be recalled. |

his house. He is subjected to the ignominy
Of criminal arrest, and is now ont of jail
only because he has given heavy bail
Other parties traded for post traderships
with Mr.. Orvil Grant He is the brother of
the President The President notified him
in advance when there were to be vacancies.
This afforded brother Orvil chance to specu-
culate out of them. Tho President must
have given the notices on purpose to afford
brother Orvill chance speculate out of
the appointments, because there is NO other
object he could have had in view in furnish
ing this information to Oivil.
Yet the President remains in the White
House ct twice the salary paid to George
Washington. He does not resign; he is not
arrested; he is not molested.
It would seem to be much safer for specula-
tors and dealers in Offices and appointments
to deal with brother than with q wife.-Ne,o
