THE celebrated will case at Trenton, N. J.,
in which the United States Government took,
by compromise, the greater part of Lews's
millions of dollars has come to conclusion,
so far as the master in chancery has made his
report to Judge Nixon, Of the United States
District Court. This report has been kept
private because it has been sent to Washington
to be confirmed, and until it is so confirmed it
is said that it will be withheld from publca-
tion. But it has leaked out that the heirs of
Lewis take 100000 under the compromise,
and the United States get $925,00O The re-
markabe feature of the masters report, how
ever, is the allowances claimed and, it is said
favorably reported by him. Mr.. Courtland
Parker and Mr. Gilchrist, who represented the
executors of the will, have, it is asserted, put
in u clsim for $4,000 each, and ex-Attorney-
General PieTepont and District Attorney
Keasby, as counsel for the Government have
The National tribune., 1882-07-01

put in claims for $27, 900 each. These claims
have been audited and allowed, it is said, and
their amount creates some surprise among law
yer5 here.
STRANGER cases of suicide are not often seen
than those at Danville, Illinois, few days ago.
Three young girls, the oldest not over seven
teen, and none of them related, took arsenic
together and died. One of them, Alice Mills,
did not wish to live any longer because of the
misconduct of her father; another, Mary Ogle,
found life unsueportable because she was an
orphan, and the third, Mary Jones, had no
better reason for taking the drug than because
the others did. Three young people simulta-
neously arriving at so morbid a state of mind
as to be compelled to end their troubles by such
desperate means presents curious problem,
particularly as the causes alleged were so slight.
THE next number of THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE will contain the first of a series Of spe-
cially prepared articles on Southern prison life.
The subject of the first sketch will be history
of that terrible slaughter-pen, Andersonville,
where thousands of brave boys who had es-
capped the enemy's bullets on the battlefield
suffered indescribable torturc-many of them
dying from hunger and exposure. The terrible
scenes are described in bold, graphic style, and
the accuracy of the picture will be at once
recognized by all who had the misfortune to
suffer imprisonment at Andenonville.

4 DISPATCH from Kings Tree, S. c., dated
23d nit, says: Anderson Singleton, Lucinda
Teasdale, Abram Anderson. and Boston Single
ton, all four colored, were hanged to-day. The
first two were convicted of the murder of
Phoebe Teasdale, the wife of Anderson Single
ton and the half sister to Lucinda Teasdale, on
the 18th of January last Singleton and An
derson were convicted of robbery and arson on
the 9th of March last. The execution was
conducted within the Jail inclosure, but crowd
of about 1000 persons were in town. There
was no disorder and everything passed off
quietly. All the prisoners protested their in
nocence except the woman, who said she killed
her sister in sclf-defense. Singleton, in his
last speech, said the rope had been put around
his neck by witchcraft, and named the voudoo
doctor who, he said, had bewitched him. The
execution occurred at twelve o'clock. All the
prisoners died easily except Singleton, who
struggled violently, and had to be pushed away
from the scaflold.

Mr.. George has introduced in the Senate
resolution, upon the request of citizens of
Vicksburg Miss, of Italian birth, granting
permission for the erection of a statue of
Garibaldi in the National Cemetery at Vicks-
burg. He said that the statue would be fur
nished by those who asked for this permission.
Several Senators suggested doubts to the
propricsy of this as establishing bad prece-
dent. Mr.. Hoar commended it and eulogised
the services of the Italian patriot to the cause
oG liberty He suggested that work of art
such as would be born of Italian Skill with
Garibaldi as its subject, would honor our dead.
Mr.. Hawley said the national cemeteries had
been expressly reserved for the bones of the
men who died for the Union, and should be
kept sacred. He looked upon the resolution
as the beginning of q change in this respect.
If Garabaldi statue was raised within the
burial place of our dead we could not object
to the erection there Of memorials of the illus

this motion the resolution was referred to the

DISPATCHES from the Northwest report terri
BILE damage to property and serious loss of life,
caused by the storm visitations which extended
over a large area of territory. A remarkable
tidal wave swept the lake-frOnt at Cleveland.
It was eleven feet in height and two miles in
width. Vessels parted their lines and were
submerged to 4 depth Of four feet in some
places After the grand rush Of water the lake
lapscd into repose. While the wave lasted only
about minute, it destroyed many Thousands
Of dollars worth of property. The cyc'onic
storms which have traversed and dcsosted the
Northwest section seem to have followed no
particular course, but to have dropped here
and there at points as widely separated as cities
ia Nebraska, Michigan, Dakotah Territory, and
Southern Indiana While the ravages in Iowa
have been the most serious to lifc and property.
the aggregate losses in other parts OF the cOun-
try have been very heavy. The storm Of Friday
night extended over Minnesota, Northern Iowa,
and Western Wisconsin. All all points rain fell
in torrents. AT Euaut6n, d. T.. several houses
were demolished. Throughout Southern NH
nesota the streams rose suddenly, ovcrrunning
their banks, sweeping away considerable stock
and doing other damage. The growing grain
in some places was levelled TO the ground, but
not seriously damaged. There are reports of
loss sf life at interior points in Southeastern
Dakota and Southwestern Minnesota.

The story is located IN Southern Illinois
and up and down the Wabash, OHIO and
Mississippi rivers, taking IN Shawnee
town, Cairo, st. LOUIS, Genevleve and
New Orleans. Time 1Sll-12, when the
Mississippi valley was shaken up by the
great earthquake, and when steamboats,
first appeared on the great river. The
writer, by an ingenious and skillful ad-
mixture of truth and fiction, has drawn
not only very vivid and readable picture
OF life in the region and times indicated,
but has interviewer with it very clever
story. Take, for example, the rude ad-
mlnistration Of justice in those days; the
strange religious ideas Of the people, with
the Jerks" the great earthquake; the
tiatboat men, etc, etc, and there could be
no want of material for lively description
and thrilling incident The author has
made good use Of his opportunities, and to
southern Illinoisian especially his book
must be highly fascinating.

The story, which is commercially short,

cation "To American Women" seems to
have been written in q sort of spirit of

set by an English type as reprehenslble.
Ii this DAISY Miller" however, is type,
then the type repeats itself everywhere in
modern life, for the girl of high animal
sprlls, quick intelligence, with tempting
beauty and wealth, but without training
and wise control, Is met with every day.
Heaven foreiend that all shall meet such
tragic fate!

From Texas.

WACO, Texas, August 2S, 1SS2.-DeaI
FREE TRADER; The stormy scenes thai
ever attend the various political conven
tons, have about quoted down. First
came the Galveston democratic convention,
at which Judge Ireland was nominated for
| Governor without dissenting voice. His
nomination has met with general appro.
baton all over the state, and he will doubt
less go in over the republican candidate
by fifty or sixty thousand majority.
Next comes the Greenback convention
which met at Fort Worth and after con-
sidernhln wranrtinr fa,Iah 10 go. "a. etn.n
ticket. Then last comes the republican
which met at Austin with Negro chair
man. The motive that prompted such an
august body TO appoint even temporarily
such an officer to preside over their dellb.
erations, was left for the world to surmise.
Yellow fever is prevailing to an alarm.
ing extent at Brownsville and Matamoras,
many new cases reported each day. Owing
to such favorable time tor the spreading
of the disease, and quick transit every
where, il is probable the terrible scourgc
may prevail throughout the state, although
every prccGuhon is taken TO prevent any
further spreading. Local sickness of our
town aud country Is more general and
proves more fatal than for years before.
Heavy local rains have injured both
grain and cotton crops to great extent.
THIS year 80 far has doubtless registered
by tar the greatest amount Of rainfall dur
ing more than twenty years.
The presence of the cotton worm as well
rs the abnormal growth of stalk may be
attributed 10 the extreme wet season. As
to what damage the caterpillar Will do, the
crop remains to be seen, but the ball worm
is dong its work every day. Yet with all
the contingencies counted IN Texas will
make far over an average crop. New
corn Is now being prepared at the elevator
for shipment to St Louis.
Marriage Insuranc ecompanles seem to
be all the rage, for scarcely month
passes without IL charter being filed at the
capital to incorporate some Sucn an organi-
satOn. As To whether such associations
promote The cause or ill the pockets OF the
interpretations, Will remain question for
the average member to decide.
The heaviest land sales known in the
history OF our state have been of frequent
occurrence lately, one man buying out
IN entire county OF land, while other bids
run away up in the thousands of acres.
Such immense tracts owned and controlled
by single individuals will be detrimental
to society, aud may demand at no distant
day legislation on the subject.
