NEW YORK, Nov. 9Th.
Stanton, who yesterday shot Sister
Varina, says he only wanted to
frighten, not xiii the woman; that
the witches have been botherlng
tinuousiy and that they inspired
him to the deed. He went to Ire
land to get rid of the spirits. but it
did no good and he was instructed
to kill Sister Varina. The latter is
suffering greatly, but 1t Is hoped
her wounds will not prove fatal.
The Rumored Lus- "f the Jcnnnetse
Disbsiieved.
New YORK, Nov. 8th.-The
evening papers contain the follow
ing Washington special: The re
ported loss of Benefits Arctic ex-
plOring steamer Jesunatte, with all
on board, telegraphed from San
Francisco, is doubted here. It IL
explsined that in October, 1879,
two New Bedford whalers, Ihe
Vigilant and the Mount WOolas-
ton, with 40 men on board of each.
were ought in pack Ice to the
sOuth-westward Of Herald island,
since which time neither vessel
nor any traces OF them have been
reported or seen by anybody. The
whalers were not constructed nor
equipped for wintering in the Arc.
tic, aud no doubt exists in the
minds of other whaling captains
that the two vessels and their
crews were destroyed absolutely.
The remains of men and parts of
the missing whslers seen by Es-
quimaux might readily be IN istak-
al for portions of the Jeanette or
her crew. Capt. Hooper, of the
revenue steamer COrwip, does not
believe the Jeanette ls lost, as she
was powerfully built, with u special
view to Ice aud SO modelled that il
WAS expected the pack would raise
her out of water rather than crush
her. For these, among other rea-
sons, the belief Is entertained that
the Jeannette people will yet come
out Of the Arctic ocean in safety.
