THE LONGEST sLEDGE JOURNEY EVER MADE IN
| THE UNEMPLOYED ARCTIC REGION, &C., &C.
THE RECORDS OF THE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION
LosT-COLD WEATHER INDEED.
| New YORK, September ga special to
| the Herald IRON New Bedford, Mass, gives
| long account of the progress Of the Frank
| lin search party, under command OF Lieu
tenant Frederick Schwaka, OF the United
States army, who were picked up by Cap
tain Baker, OF the bark George and Mary,
OF New Bedford, at Depot Island, on the
| LIST of August, they having returned TO that
point from their sledge journey to King
william Land on the Ash OF March OF the
present year.
The siedge Journey was the longest ever
made through the UNEMPLOYED Arctic re-
zion, both as TO time and distance, the party
having been absent from their base OF ope-
rations in Hudson bay eleven months and
four days. DuriBg that time they travelled
9 l9 geographical or 3 2jl statute miles. 1t
was the only sledge journey ever made that
covered the entire Arctic winter. The WIN
ter was pronounced by the EsquimauX as
one of unusual rigor. This fact Is at
tested by the freezing OF Rows Welcome
throughout the entire extent, from shore
|
Whale Point. The natives at Depot Island
and Wager river experienced much suffer-
| inc IN consequence Of the severity OF the
weather. which precluded successful hunt
ing. and several deaths occurred at both
places: the mortality is attributable to In
tense cold and famine. The expedition, how
ever, successfully withstood the greatest
amount OF cold ever experienced by white
men.
In the field on January 3, 1880. the Their
mometer sank to 1899 below freezing point.
During sixteen days the average tempera-
ture was 1909 below freezing point. and
during twenty-seven days it was below 600.
All this time the party travelled; i'm fact,
they never halted single day Oh account
Of the cold.
During the summer and fall OF 1879 they
made complete search OF King William
Land and the adjacent mainland, travel.
| ling over the route pursued by the crews
OF the Erebus and Terror upon their re-
| treat towards Back river, and while SO
engaged the party buried the bones OF all
these unfortunates remaining above the
ground, and erected monuments TO the
memory of the fallen. Their re-
search established the mournful fact
that the records OF Franklin's expedition
are lost beyond recovery. The party
found many traces aud some remains OF
Frankln's expedition. Among them were
the bones of The captain Of the Terror and
Lieutenant John Irving, which were identi-
lied by prize medal found in his open
grave. The relics Of the Terror aud the
Erebus were brought back by the party.
They lived for portion Of the time on seal
skin diet, and otherwise adapted them
selves 10 the habits OF the natives OF the
country, suffering many hardships, but be-
ing uniformly well treated by the Esqui-
mauX.

A Rl0h JOha.

The CoatesviIle Union relates the fol.
lowing: A man by the name of Gordon
offered his vote at the polls in East
Fallowfeld, on Tuesday. His vote WAS
challenged, when he showed receipt
sigred by Treasurer Buckwalter, upon
which thera was no date. He was told
that If he produced the statement from
Treasurer BuckWalter that his tax was
paid in time his vote would be recsived.
The Democrats held consultation and
decided it would not do to lose q vote,
and Mr.. Benjamin Fredd offered to take
him TO West Chester to obtain the
proof. 1t was then 3 o'clock. and
Vast Chester was IL miles distant, but
away the horse flew to the county seat.
The Treasurer was found, and upon
the back Of the receipt he wIote that
the tax was paid on time and he had
neglected to date the receipt. With
this fact MIR. Fredd pulled up lines, and
soon they arrive at Youngsburg, hsv-
ing travelled "a miles in less than two
hours and half, and the election board
soon announced the man g right to vote,
when Mr.. Gordon deposited q straight
Republican ticket. Had q thunder
bolt fallen the condemnation could not
have been greater. Mr.. Fredd says
this world is all vanity and vexation
OF spirit.

James A. Plunkett died about 2.30
o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home
Nc. 62s West Second street Of something
liks consumption. Mr.. Plunkett has
besn very unwell for some time past,
and II 10 thought taat his death was
caussd In great measure to Injuries
received by falling from the cars while
returning from Hagerstown, Md, with
the visiting Wilmington fremen. He
has besn able to attend to his duties in
the City Auditors Office, where he was
clerk, until about week ago. On Sun
day he had two hsmorrhages of the
lungs, but rallied, and was mach i'm.
proved for day. Yesterday morning,
however, he was taken very sick again
and died iu the afternoon, as stated.
The deceased was a son of Mr.. Philip
Plunkstt, and was associated with his
father as clerk while he was still In
active business. He was at one time
clerk In the Engineering and Surveying
Department of the city, and has been
employed in the Auditors Office since
May 1879. Mr.. Plunkett has been an
active Democratic politician for some
time past. He leaves q wife and four
children, and was about 43 years Of

The areAl In..sAlsra,iOm.

The total immigration to this country
during the last year was 457, ,257,
against 1T, 826 in 1883. This is q
most astonishing increase, and one
with ut parallel in the history Of
this or any other country. The arriv-
ais for the quarter ending June 30
alone were 242, CAT, which is a much
larger number than III any previous
entire yesr back to 1874 In 1874 the
number was 3l3, 339; in 1875, 227, ,498;
in 1876 1t fell to 10000, and went on
declining until last year, when It rose
to III, ,S26. There has been but one
larger immigration than that Of 1879 IS
that was in 1872 3, just as the recent
industrial troubles we're ready TO begin,
thennmber exceeding 1879 50 by 2, SAG.
The arrivals for the quGrtsr ending
Sept. 80 last we're l54, S32, against 68,
65l In 1879. This is a large falling
of from the probably unprecedented
number arriving In the previous quar-
ter, bu. it Ia only 23, 600 less than III the
whole year 1878 8. The money brought
in by immigrants was formerly estima.
ted by the Castle Garden authorities at
$6s per head, and hap been by others
estimated a. high as 800. Ifit oe as
sumsd as $50, in order to be very safe,
the immigrants Of 1879 so should have
brought nearly ss8, 900, ocean amount
exceeding the gross regular imports
of the precious metals in 1878 8, and
also exceeding those Of fourteen other
aSosl years since 1859. Were it not that
Wa have become accustomed to consider
this country remarkable In its attract
iveness aud its dsyelopment-which 1t
admittedly is-and to accept every
thing as among the things Of course,
such an unparalleled movement Of pop
ulation would xcite astonisDmsnt. Bat

The Last Patient Leaves the small.

The last patient left the small l-po1
hospitil yesterday thoroughly cured
During the present season but foul
cases have been there for treatment
and none of these we're directly ftll oted
through the presence OF the disease In
this city.
The first cases were brought to the
hospital on September End. These were
the Fisher children who came TO Nc
Dowellville with their parents from the
small. .pox district In Camden, N. ].
This was Just after the departure ofthe
former overseer, P. D. Croney, and no
one being in charge, Mr.. Fisher under
took the management temporarily.
The third patient, g child u Mrs. No
Closkey, living on Rlund street, was
admitted on October 2nd, with a very
violent case. The child had been taken
sick just after Its mother had returned
from visit to part Of Philadelpbia
when the disease was prevelant. Mrs.
McCloskey accompanied the siek child
to the hospital and brought her baby
along. The infant WAS soon taken
with the disease in mild form, but 1t
was the last one 10 recover, and yestsr.
day was pronounced we'll and an order
issued for It's discharge.
The small .pox hospital during this
epidemis--if II can be called such-has
been in charge OF DR.. 0gls. II should
be a subject Of copgrstuiation with our
citizsns that the disease has not spread.
Not . case originated here and the
spreading Of TIE disease was chiefly
prevented by the promptness with
which all patients wers taken TO the
hospital, ard to the care which was
taken with them while under treat
ment.
