TAe Peru cian con,pan,s.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The publication
here of a list OF names prominent in con-
nection with Shepherds Peruvian company
scheme is the object more OF merriment than
anything else, even to those whose names are
in the list. It appears that the names were
used promiscuousiy, without any authority
from the owners of the names. Congressman
Hewitt says he received a circular marked
CONFIDENTIAL" and that it informed him the
circular would be called for; that he put it in
his desk without giving it any consideration,
and subsequently somebody did call for it.
He not only never consented to the use of his
name, but never took any notice of this cIrcu-
lar. The same state of facts apply to
other names used. Shepherd seems to have
pursued Guiteau'S plan of claiming the &C
quaintance and association Of public men. If
he knew their names or address, it was
enough. 1t is already apparent that no seri-
GUS consequences are involved. He sent the
circulars TO parties and without waiting to
hear from them entered their names as assO-
Ciates Of his in his chlmerical scheme. One
OF the amusing incidents connected with the
publication OF these names is that
resolution calling for submission of the list to
the house, and among the names presented is
that OF his father, August Belmont.

HELENA, Ark, Feb. 1S.-There is noabate-
ment of the disasters that have overtaken the
planters of the Mississippi valley,
caused by the OVERLOOKING of the
Mississippi river between Memphis and
Vicksburg. For three weeks they have
been battling, not only with the elements
from above (as it has rained almost daily dur
lug this period), but, inch by inch, the mighty
river has been eucroaching upon them until
now it IS but a dreary watery waste, extending
fully fifteen miles INLAND from bank to bank.
The destruction to dwellings, stock and lands
cannot be properly estimated. There have
been innumerable breaks in the levees, and the
outlook for the future is anything but hope
full. Cattle and hogs have been drowned
by the hundred. Barns have
been swept away, and their
contents wasted. Mules and horses are suffer

cannot but have its effect in cramping the IA

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Passage of tho Immediate Deficiency Bill
decentralization and Defense of the Stand
ard Silver Dollar.


Pronunciation and Defense of the Stand
ard Silver Dollar.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The bill to pro-
mote the efficiency of the life saving service
was reported, and the house went into COM
mittee of the whole on the immediate de-
fciency bill, which approbriates 81, S22 1888.
The item of deficiency for public printing
gave rise to debate, during which Atkins
stated the great cost of public printing was
in a great measure due to the extravaganza of
the committee on printing of the last con-
gress. This brought Singleton to his feet in
defense of that committee, of which he was
then chairman. Over the clause in the i'm
mediate deficiency bill, appropriating SIS, 600
for the construction of vaults in the treasury
and sub.treasury, quite an interesting discus
sion arose upon the silver question.
Mr.. Hewitt made q vigorous attack upon
the standard silver dollar, characterising it as
a cheat and fraud, and fiat money in its first
and most repulsive and Objectionable sense,
end asserting it rendered all commercial trans
actions cheating transactions.
Messrs. Stephens and Marsh defended the
silver dollar, declaring it was the true unit of
value. They characterized the act OF 1878 as
an act passed for the purpose of degrading sill
yer, and Marsh declared the cry that the stan
dard was fraudulent was false in fact and un-
true in principle.
Mr.. Buckner also defended the standard
dollar.
After further discussion upon various items
in the bill, the committee rose and reported it
to the house. Passed-yeas 1856; nays 26. Adj

4 MISSING HUSBAND.
A Bride Loses Her Spouse While Still in

A Bride Loses Her Spouse While Still in
Her Wedding Ralment.
The passengers on the train from Minneapo-
lis which arrived at the Union depot in this
city about o'clock last night, were treated
to first class sensation that had to 90 with
the sorrows of bride who, ere the perfume
had vanished from the orange blossoms, was
brought to grief by the sudden and mysterious
departure of her husband.
Tue mystery, which up to this writing is
still mystery, would afford rich material
for 3 chapter Of romance of extraordinary
power and interest. just before the st. Paul
train left Minneapolis yesterday evening, there
came on board bride and groom whose ap-
pearance indicated that they had just left the
altar.
He was dapper, and had the brand new look
customary to men who have Just assumed the
responsibilities of married life, and the blush
ing bride was arrayed in all the glory of bril-
dal vestments. After the train had pulled out
an uneasy look was observed to shadow the
face of the bride. which deepened in painful in
tensty as the train moved towards this city.
When almost half way to st. Paul the young
bride manifested marked symptoms of uneasi-
ness and it became known that her distress
was due to the absence of her husband who
had not been seen since the train started. The
sympathy of the passengers was enlisted and
the train was searched in vain for the missing
benedict.
Upon arriving in this city the distress of
the bride may be imagined. The cause of
his disappearance was unaccountable, and she
was annoyed by the terrible apprehension that
he might have been thrown from the platform
of the cars, while in motion, and injureN or
perhaps killed.
1t was either this or flight. The stery OF
his strange disappearance was related to the
police and railroad officials and measures were
taken to discover, if possible, his where
abOuts.
