receipts yesterday, so that I am able to give
exact figures. And yet this doting father, in
naming the cost to me, added that he would
willingly have paid what he did twice over
rather than have missed his aim, or been
unable to give his darling the wedding pre-
sent he designed for her while yet she was
in her cradle. There you have the man in
his unbounded expenditure of money to
obtain his ends, and in his absorbing love
for his daughter.
You must not expect from me any de-
scription of the ornate and bewildering toi-
lets worn at the Wedding-no, not even of
the brides rare raiment. I do not under
stand such matters, and, venturing to dis
course concerning them, likely enough /
should call lace gimp, and peasant waists
polonaises. Let me briefly state that, SO
far as I could judge, the great heiress was
married in clothes BETTING her position.
/ am indebted to lady guest for the In
formation that her dress was of point lace,
founced, or rather garlanded, to the waist
with strings of seed pearls, with the volun-
inous train edged with flagree Of gold
thickly set with diamonds. Her neck was
circled by her fathers wonderful offering,
besides which there were diamonds banded
on her hair and in bracelets on her wrists.
She was certainly the most blazing beauty
I ever gazed upon.
There was one feature of the wedding
arrangements which struck me might bet
ter have been omitted entirely, or at least
very materially modified, but which, never
theless, in the mock it made Of expense
was quite in keeping with all the other
features. / allude to the phenomenally
hospitable provision made for the hackmer

Found at Last-Lfeutenant Delong and
the Missing ExplOrers-An Interesting
Account OF Their Researches.
New YORK, Feb. 8.-The subjoined dis
patch from Lieutenant Danenhauer, dated
Irkoutsk, February 1, and announcing that
definite tidings have been received of De-
longs missing party was forwarded to the
Herald at a late hour tonight:
Belongs party is between stations Buleur
(BolenoD and Sisterouck Gust Olonsk) in
narrow wilderness eighty miles long, devoid
of habitations and game. Jerome j. Collins
Hans Erickson and let the others of Belongs
party push south. The new search builds
huts and goes over every inch of region
which is plowed by heavy drift of ice every
spring. We visited Nordenksiold's winter
quarters and found he was safe before we
entered the ice near Herald Island The
general health of the crews during
twentyone months of drift was ex.
cellent. No scurvy appeared. We used
week. No rum was served out Divine
service was regularly held. We took much
exercise. Everybody hunted. Game was
scarce. We got about 80 bears, $50 seals and
6 walrus No fish or whales were
seen. All possible observations were
made during the drift showing
northeast course. The ship was keeled
over heavily pressed by ice most of the time.
The mental strain on some of the ships COM
pany was heavy as the result of the drift the
first five months. There was a cycloidal
movement of ice during the last six months,
the drift being very rapid. The soundings
were pretty even, eighteen fathoms near
Wrangell Land, often visible seventy-five
miles distant, greatest depth so fathoms,
average 35, bottom blue. Mud shrimp and
plenty of theological specimens were brought
up from the bottom. The surface
water had a temperature of 20 degrees
above zero The extremes of the temperature
of the air were of greatest cold So below zero,
greatest heat A above. The first winter

The Mine DIsnster-Preparatton for
Flooding the Level.
RICHMOND, Feb. 8.-The proprietors OF
the Grove Shaft mine, in which the thirty
two men porished, have determined to flood
the level The fire which broke out in these
mines yesterday is still raging. The mouth
of the shaft and all openings leading to the
pits have been closed and Theoretically sealed
to prevent air reaching the fires The bodies
of the twenty-seven men remaining in the
different levels where they persisted in the
disaster of Friday still remain entombed.
All hope of recovery is now abandoned.
The chances are that the fire will continue
for weeks, and it may be for months. 1t
was as much as the party of miners
who we're in search of the bodies could do to
escape Yesterday The bodies of the five
victims that were recovered on Saturday and
Sunday have been buried near the scene of
the disaster The collins for those IN regard
to the recovery of whose bodies all hope IS
now abandoned, are stacked up near the
mines and seem to mock the attempts made
to fill them with the remains of the poor fell
lows whose flesh is now doubtless being
roasted in the tomb in which they were con-
sumed. 1t is probable that the funeral OF
those who persisted in Grove shaft will take
place from the mouth of that fatel chasn IN
a day or two. The cremation of all OF those
below has no doubt taken place before this

An Organ Factory Burned Down.
WORCESTER, Mass, Feb. 8.-About 1870
p. m. fire broke out in the Loring & Blake
organ factory, causing serious loss. The fire
caught in the vanishing room on the fifth
floor from some unknown cause and owing
to the infammability of the material
the upper part of the building
was a sheet of fame before the
arrival of the fire department. Luck
lily, however, the department was able
to prevent the fire from spreading to any ad-
joining buildings. The loss, which cannot
be estimated tonight, will be very heavy,
but is covered by Insurance The company
employ $50 hands, who will necessarily be
thrown out of work for short time.
