WEArnER NOTES.

Raw aud rude arc the wintry blasts
to-day.
1t bids fair not to beany warmer to-
day or tonight.
A very energetic storm was central
in the Middle States late last night
while between here and the gulf the
skies this morning were generally as
clear as bell,
The mercury dropped to 350 at the
Signal Gfico this morning; ZOE lower
than yesterday at the same time, and
IA below the previous morning,
The breeze blew a lively whirl
straight out of the west all through
last night, shaking up the houses and
keeping many a timid matron wide
awake for hours and hours. 1t blew
NON the west all of yesterday, but
had less force about it.
The earth was frozen hard in ex
posed places hereabouts this morning,
and water puddles were crusted with
ice. 1t isn't cold enough yet, how
ever, for the ice dealers to harvest a
crop for use next summer.
1t was showing at sunrise this morn
ing at Louisville and along the upper
Mississippi valley. The mercury fell
to 269 at Cairo and 900 at Louisville
a drop Of 230 at the latter and 1S0 at
the former from yesterday morning.
The snowfall was general yesterday
north Of the Ohio river.
The noon weather telegram from
Washington to-day announces fair and
colder weather for the lower Missouri
valley; strong winds from the north
west along the lakes, and occasional
snow between the lakes and the Ohio
river. There is a chance for us to
enjoy a little Of the snowfall, though
it is a doubtful case. The weather is
cold enough for it, but at present the
skies are cloudless all the way from
here to the gulf coast.

CUPIO'S WORK.
A Majors Wife ElOpes From Eng
land With Her Brothers.
Groom.

Toronto Globe.l
A sensation was created in social
circles in England a few months ago
by the elopement Of Major Forsyth
Grants wife With her brothers groom.
Major Grant is attached to the Duke
Of Cornwall's regiment, which is sta
toned at Gibraltar, and it was during
a visit to her brother, who lives near
Treganth Fort, a place several miles
west Of tho Cornish side Of the River
lamar, that his fascinating wife be-
came enamored of the personal charms
Of her brothers groom, whose name
is Henry Hearn. These two became
very intimate, and in a few days eloped.
A most vigorous search was
made for the missing pair. but no
trace of thom was found in the coun-
try. Three weeks ago Mr.. Eden, a
lawyer from London, England, who
was employed by Major Grant to
recover his wife, ifpossible, arrived in
Quebec, as he was Of the opinion that
they had come 10 Canada. The SER
vices Of Detective Skefington, of the
/. 9. r., we're called into reguisition
and in company with Mr.. Eden that
officer visited Point Lewis and ex.
hibited a photograph Of Mrs. Grant
TO a number Of wharf officials there.
They Immediately recognized it as
being that Of a lady who arrived by
the steamer Circasaan on the 10th Of
October last, in company with young
man. The pair we're then traced

treal, and thence to Toronto, where it
is believed they are now living as man
and wife under the assumed name of
Punches or Nieolls. The lady's pri-
vate income is $4,000 a yea, but she
had only ego in cash when she left
England. Mrs. Grant, who is well
acquainted with Canada, having been
here on her wedding tour five years
ago, is described as follows: Twenty
five years old, five feet high, fair com.
plexion, gray eyes, fair hair cut short
in front, wore a long cloak lined with
fur, and had on a diamond necklace
when in Quebec. She left two little
children in England. Hearn, the
groom, is five feet eight inches high,
brown hair, hazel eyes and small mus
tache, and has a sprightly appearance.

Yesterday afternoon a white tramp
was seen to stop by the side Of a va
cant rockaway which stood in front Of
a dry goods house on Main street, and
suddenly remove his hat and lay it
over something on the seat like a small
boy catching a grasshopper. 1t was
not one Of those frisky little insects,
however, but a pocket book, the prop
erty Of Miss Vance, containing some
two or three dollars in change. He
was promptly arrested by two young
men who saw the vancouver, and
lodged in the ealaboose.

Cotton Items.

The cotton outlook to-day is weak

Our receipts Of cotton here to date

this time. The arrivals by the Little

more than half Of last years volume
while receipts by river are nearly
10000 bales in excess Of last year.

dealers that the bulk Of the past years

steamer Dean Adams, aud five we're
sent to tho marine hospital. Tho

The names Of those who were taken
to the hospital arc Charles Hamilton
and Marion Ice, of Cincinnati; Tim
Davis, Now Orleans; John Gum,
home at largc-all colored, and Peter
Guntert, a German. Tho four colored
men arc badly burned about the hands
aud face, and TIVE will bo lucky if they
escape being crippled for life. The
German is not badly injured
but the tip OF his nose is likely
to come off, and this may dis6gure him
to some extent. The names of those
who went to their homes or among
friends are Charles Fleming, Andrew
Coleman, Charles Porter and Walter
Brooks, all colored.
While on the passage to this city
one Of the wounded named Percy
Stewart, a darky, aud only slightly
hurt, took it into his rascally head to
rob his helpless comrades. He went
through the pockets of the poor fel.
lows and confscated every dime they

lars, and the money they we're
paid for services on the trip between
New Orleans and the place where the
accident occurre2. The scamp went
ashore and took to the woods at Aus,

The Hand Of Death.

The Hand Of DEATH.
This morning at half past five
o'clock Mrs. Kate Horn Craig died at
her residence in the northern part Of
the city, in Chelsea. The sad news of
her demise will be heard with both
surprise and regret by all who knew
her, and who remember it was but six
brief months ago that she was happily
united in wedIock to Mr.. Craig. The
time for the funeral has not yet been
fully determined upon, but will be
made known in the morning.
Another gentle spirit and bright
mind was separated from its mould Of
clay and waited heavenward yesterday
afternoon when death claimed for his
own the fair aud worthy Mary J.
Kunkle, the sister Of Mrs. George G..
Dent, who died at the family resi-
dence, No. 27l Linden street. The
lady during life was popularity known
as an intelligent aud very industrious
lady, as she wal one Of the best appre-
oiated tutors in our public schools
Her funeral took place this afternoon.

The Murderer,s Fnfe.


The remains of the late b~lOodthirsty
Ed helms, who met his fate so de-
servedly at the hands of Chief-of-
Police w. G. Davis early yesterday
morning, we're turned over to his
relatives and friends during the after
noon, and inferred by them.
The thirst for an Armistead's blood
was frat aroused in the heert Of
helms by the death Of his brother at
the hands Of Kim Armistead, while
the latter, in company with two others,
we're trying to arrest him. The man
resisting aud making an effort,
or a movement to kill Armistead, the
litter was too quick for him and he
bit the dust. Later Ed. helms took
up the feud, and determined to avenge
his brothers death by killing a brother
of Kim Armstead. This he accom-
plished by w~aylaying Rufus Armstead,
May 9th, 1880, though the man be
killed then did not know him and had
never done him harm. The ends Of
justice in the case Of helms, made
narrow miss from being wholly de-
feated by the kinks, delays and quirk,
Of the law, together with the escape
of Nelns from the Senatobia jail.
Isaac, the uncle Of the late Ed.
helms, is still in the city prison and
charged on the docket with aiding a
prisoner to escape. Riley is said tc
have arranged the prelemiuaries of the
recent Jail delivery aud is known as q
dangerous darky.
