STARTLING DISCLOSURES.
General w. W. Belknap Guilty Of
Corrupt Practices.
IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES PRESENTED
Serious Charge Against Secretary
Belknap.
NEW YORK, March 3.

New YORK, March 2.
Washington dispatches to the principal
morning papers state that the committee
on expenditures in the war department, of
which Hester Clymer is chairman, have
unearhed facts so damaging to Secretary
Belknap that his retirement is inevitable,
aud, very probably, his impeachment. The
facts are briefly that Mr.. Marsh of New
York city appeared before Clymers COM
miitec, in obedience to subpoena served
upon him last Saturday, and testified that
he bad procured of Mr.. Belknap, secretary
Of war; contract for certain post trader
ships at Fort Sill and other points in the
southwest, for which he paid the wife of
the secretary $40, 900 cash, ard continued
to pay, as long as he retained the same,
$4,000 per annum. lie also testified TO
other frauds and corrupt acts on the part
of the secretary, and produced records as
evidence TO substantiate every fact stated
by him. He was subjected TO a thorough
examination, but was not shaken in a sim
gle point. Mr. Belknap was summoned
before the committee yesterday, the testi-
mony submitted to him, and he was asked
what he had to SOY. lie was stricken with
shame, confessed the truth Of the charges,
add pleaded for dtlay and opportunity to
resign, bis desire being to shield his wife.
The committee, however, are unanimous
Messrs. Bass of New York and Danford
OF Ohio being the republican members--in
condemnation of the secretary and it is
stated that articles of impeachment will be
at once prepared and submitted. Resigna-
save him from political disabilities result
ing from impeachment ard conviction.
THE CASE or SECRETARY BELKNAP.
WASHINGTON, March2.
A report that Mr.. Marsh testified yester-
day before the committee on expenditures
of the war department that he paid Mrs.
Belkn0p $4,000 for a post leadership, and
sc 900 yearly since, and that the secretary
did not deny the truth of the charge, be-
came generally known this morning, and
caused much surprise and excitement in
official and other circles. The general be-
lief that the reported testimony was enti-
tied to credence was further strengthened
by The fact that about 10 o'clock this morn
ing Secretary Belknap had an interview
with Secretaries Bristow and Chandler and
Senators Morton and Morrill, of Vermont
the subject discussed Involving the resigna-
ton of Secretary Belknap. The latter left
the executive mansion with Secretary
Chandler, and both went over 20 the war
department. 1t is thought that Belknap
placed his resignation at the pleasure of the
president.

Death of Stillman blanchard.

Stillman Blanchard, formerly of Rut-
land, died at Tecumseh, Michigan, Feb
ruary %, at the advanced age of so years.
He was native of Vermont and, for
many years, engaged in the mercantile
business 10 Rutland, being partner with
Francis Slason. lie removed to Michigan,
was one of the first settlers Of Tecumseh,
and one of the founders of the village OF
that name. At one time, he was promi-
nent as a politician, but was better known
from his connection with freemasonary.
Nearly sixty years ago, he was made a
mason in Center lodge Rutland, and re-
ceived the chapter and encampment de-
grees here. In MichgaH, for more than
twenty years, he was "grand lecturer and
visitor" of both the grand lodge and grand
chapter. During all these twenty years lie
was nearly blind, aud later he became en-
trely so, but never, we believe, failed to
attend session of these bodies from the
day of their organization until his death.

Murder and Attempted Suicide.

The good people of the staid town of
Bridport were startled on Wednesday
morning last by the intelligence that a
murder had been committed in their midst,
and that this had been supplemented by an
attempt at suicide. Inquiry soon con-
frmed this shocking news, and it spread
like wildfre through Bridport and the ad-
jacent towns.
1t appeared that Mrs. Kate McGinn, who
had been in the employ of Mr.. Norman B.
Phelps, the proprietor, for several months
at his hotel In Bridport village, arose on
Wednesday morning, and having admin
istered dose of corrosive sublimate to her
little son, took quantity of the same
poison herself.
The boy, about six years of age, came
down stairs, and standing near the stove
soon complained of illness. He grow
worse rapidly, and despite all efforts to save
him died in about three hours. Medical
aid was summoned also to the relief of the
unnatural mother, and she was alive at
late hour Wednesday night, though it was
thought that she could not recover.
Mrs. McGnn had difficulties with her
husband few years since, and he aban-
doned her and left the state. She subse-
quen;ly procured divorce from him.
Whether these domestic troubles were
the cause of this sad tragedy is uncertain,
as there arc various rumors current, but
none Of them perhaps fully reliable
FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
There was murder and an attempt at
suicide here in this quiet little. village this
morning. a Mrs Kate McGinn has been
employed as a servant by Mr.. n. b. Phelps,
the proprietor Of the hotel, and with her
lived her son Willie, a bright little lad not
quite seven years of age. Early this morn
ing no was taken violently i'll from the
effects of "bed bug poison" administered
by the mother, and died soon alter. The
woman is now but just alive, she having
taken dose Of the samc.
She has acknowledged ALL and says that
trouble drove her to commit the horrible
act. She wanted to die but could not leave
her little boy behind.

but by breaking Gods laws man has
brought disease upon himself. The worst
of these are throat and lung difficulties.
Our climate is very ehangeabe, and of
course every one is more or less liable to
colds, coughs and throat difficulties, which,
If Eot attended to ut once, very often prove
serious and hasten their victims to the
grave. New, it stands us in band to guard
against these diseases. When God made
man he breathcd into his nostiis, not his
mouth, the breath of life, intended he
should always breathe 50. How is it to-
day. Every person who Is troubled with
these diseases breaihes through his mouth.
Is it any wonder then that we have so
much catarrh and throat and lung difficult
ties. There is nothing better for throat
and lung difficulties than Kendalls Pee
toral Basam. Now, If any of You have
weak lungs, coughs, colds, or any disease
of the throat and lungs, IL you will stop
