THE FATE OF THE JEANETTE.
The Charges Against Melville Made
by DR. ID II. Collins.

A Minneapolis, Mimi, dispatch SAYS
CDR. D. F. Collins, of this city, brother of
Jerome j. Collins, who lost his life with
Lieut.. De Long, Commander of the jean
nette, was interviewed to day regarding his
letter to Representative Washburn and his
reasons for asking an Investigation by Con-
gress. DR.. Collins went to New York
met Lieut.. Danenhower on his arrival
there, ard had several extended
private conversations with him and with
DIR. NewcomD, and his charges are based on
these interviews. DIR. Collins charges that
after the MelvilIe-Danenhower party
reached q place Of safety, Danenhower
asked permission to search for De Long
and his party, but that Melville refused and
ordered Dauenhower South, saying he would
make the search himself; that Melville soon
after went South himself without making
thorough search, and remained South until
he received Instructions from Washington
to return North; and DR.. Collins alleges that
all the circumstances since developed thow
that had Melville made an energetic search
at the beginning, or permitted Danenhower
to do so, ID: Long and his party would have
been saved. DIR. Collins also alleges that
the jealousy which existed among the off,
GERS OF the expedition was such as TO make
fai ure certainty from the start; that en-
terlug the ies-pack was an fnexcusa sle
blunder; that in the retreat inferior boats
and instruments were taken and better ones
left on board. He also alleges that the pro-
visions with which the Jeanette was fitted
out were inferior in quality and insufficient
in quantity"
DIR. Collins concludes: "Dauenhower is
anxious for an investigation, and will have
strong evidence to present He expressed
to me willingness to tell the whole story
to an investigating board, but will other
wise keep close mouth. DIR. Newcomb is
also ready for It, In my opinion, II an In
.vestigation Is made, 1t win demonstrate he

EDISON'S LATEST.
A Simple Device bV Which the EIee-
tr1c LIght May be Raised or Low
cred at VIII.

Thomas A. Edison has recently patented
an invention by which electric lights can be
raised or lowered at will. II has been one
of the chief arguments advanced by the
opponents Of the Edison light that there was
no medium in the light. Either the light
was of full power or it would not work at
all. Last April Edison set himself to OBJ
viate this defect. After many experiments
his efforts were crowned with success, and
on MAY 3 an application for a patent
was filed at Washington. The new
invention is called an "adiusta-
BILE resistance" II is attached
to light at a cost of only 81 so per burner,
and is operated in the same manner as a
German student lamp. Three or four sticks
OF carbon are inclosed In brass tube, which
is placed below the incandescent burner,
and ty simply turning It around by hand the
carbon either opens or closes the circuit.
Thus the light eau, by single touch, be
raised 10 It's full pow ar or lowered to any
extent necessary. 1t has already been
placed upon lamps of the Edison patent
whenever a customer wished for IL. It
works perfectly.
Last week the mandatory of the burners
and globes used, which was located at MEMO
Park, was removed to Newark, as better IA
cilities for prosecuting the work could be
found there. He is constantly engaged in
inventions. The latest problem occupying
his mind is how to get N ore light out of less
horse power. He has succeeded in finding
way of getting dozen 16-candle lamps
by one-horse power engine. 1t is his in
tentton to do better than that shortly

The Freight Handlers.

JERSEY CITY, July 2S.-At a meeting OF
striking freight handlers to-day 1t was an
nounced that Father de Concilio, of SAINT
Michael's Catholic Church, had no authority
for his statement to the strikers that the
Erie Company was prepared to take back
their old employees who are on a
strike provided they would abandon
the labor union, and that the company
would paw twenty cents per hour, the rate
demanded by the strikers. The President
of the strikers union, in making this an
nouncement, said that the priest had been
only telling what his impressions were. A
greater degree Of heat was provoked by this
discovery of the false position in
which the men were placed by
their prompt and indignant rejection
of the proposals which had never been
made than was created when proposals
we're laid before them yesterday. 1t was
developed that couple of strikers had of
their own motion sought the intercession Of
the priest in favor Of compromise. The
union, as body, repudiated the action OF
these men and renewed their defiance to
the company.

HE Is A FEMALE.
at Least, He SO COnfesses Herself.
and Gives Hts Reasons for Her
Actions

Canton (O.) Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Quite romantic affair was unearthed by
Turnkey Wagner at the county jail here this
morning. Among the prisoners Is a young
fellow registered as George Miller, aged six
teen, who, with a youthful companion
named VIM. Siegler, was sent up from ALI
ance last Saturday for petit larceny. Miller
has feminine voice and features, and with
girlish timidity avoided the other prisoners
as much as possible. He always wore his
coat and hat, and was evidently trying to
hide himself. These and other strange ac-
tiors led the turnkey to believe that Miller
In reality was girl. This morning he Wis
tied Miller In his cell, and after plying him
with searching questions led him to confess
the fact that she" belonged to the gentl,r
sex. With this confession she began weep
ing bitterly.
The story she relates is q novel and inter
esting one. Her maiden name is Esther
Miller, aud her home is Bellefonte, Penn
sYlvania, where her parents died In 1870.
They were quito poor, aud she and an elder
brother were left to provide for themselves.
Miss Miller is OF f&ir con- plexIon, although
tanned considerably, and, II attired in fe-
male apparel, would be quite a handsome
young girl. Her conversation and bearing
were ladylike and reserved. She first donned
male attire in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
three years ago, when but thirteen yesrs of
age. Her reason was that she desired
to elude a lover who wanted her to elope
with him, and upon her refusal to comply
with his wish he threatened her life and
followed her about wherever she went This
became very annoying to her, and fearing
that he might carry out his threat, her
brother suggested the change of attire.
Accordingly one night he took her to an
out the way place and had barber clip
her hair and blacken her eyebrows. The
brother then purchased suit of clothes for
her, and ever since she has worn male ap-
parel; but now, upon being discovered, she
seems anxious to assume the garments
suited to her sex.
During the three years she has travelled
about from town to town without her sex
being discovered. She had always been
accompanied by her brother, who would
procure work, and IN this way earn enough
to support her for at least a year. The
young fellow Siegler has been her compan-
ion, with her brother, and not even did he
discover her sex. When told of the fact he
was greatly surprised. The discovery has
created quite q sensation here, and steps
will be taken to have her supplied with
clothing and returned to Bellefonte. The
theft Of which she and her companion
Siegler are accused is petty one, and, In
view Of the circumstances, It is thought It
will not be pushed.

his men was unfortunately not 90 much
as attempted to be initiated by any other
Russian commander When the war
was concluded he advanced out of his
own pocket a sum of money to enable
his sick and wounded to reach Odessa a
few weeks earlier than they otherwise
would have reached it = thought
fulness to which, no doubt, some
of them owed their lives. On
the other hand, he expected from
them in return the greatest self-sacri1ce
and the most unquestioning obedience.
This they willingly gave, as they found
he never asked them to incur any danger
he was unwilling to share. His figure,
clothed in white uniform from head
to foot and mounted on a white charger
whence he derived his name of ''the
White General was always conspicu-
GUS where the fire was hottest; and the
manner in which he escaped unhurt from
the worst fields of carnage was nothing
short of miraculous, and excited his own
wonder, as he was fully persuaded that he
wouldnot come out of the campaigpalive.
Like Nelson, he always dressed with
exceptional care for the day of battle,
and one of his greatest friends and ad-
mirers, Lieutenant Green, of the United
States army, says that ''he went into
battle in his cleanest uniform and fresh
underclothing, covered with perfume,
and wearing diamond-hilted sword, in
order, as he said, that he might die with
his best clothing on. From these per
sonal traits and characteristics some idea
may be gathered of the man. The his
torical characters to whom he bore most
appear to have been Charles
XII of Sweden and the eccentric Lord
Peterborough.

LETTER FROM DODGE.
Fine Peach CrOp-TaIbOIGOn and Its
LsdfeA' Fair-WhaS a "Grasptng
MOnOplT'' Ofa Railroad has Accom-
plished - Proposed Georgia and
Pacific short Lie.

EASTMAN, July 27.-The writer has Just re-
turned from trip to Southwest Georgia. The
peaches in that section are very fine. especially
about Fort Valley. A great deai has been said
recently by an Atlanta paper col cerning peach
culture around Griffin, but have yet to see
finer and more luscious peaches grown in
Georgia than have found in Houston county,
although very little ado is made over it.
It seems TO me there is one quiet town in
Georgia that the newspapers ought to say more
about. L allude to TalbUttOn, the most refined
little city of its size in the State. And. by
George. L believe the prettiest girls in the EN-
pire State Of the South are in TRibOttOn-Whi e,
Tor style, tney are not Tar behind the girls OF
larger and more pretentiOus cities. Z his is the
reputation Of the place wherever one goes.
And the hotel there, the Thornton House, kept
by the clever DR.. Bryan, equals in all its 6p-
pOintments the Macon hotels, and in its table
fare It actually surpasses them
was informed by citizens that the Talbot
on Railroad is realizing its most sanguine ex
pectations, and that 1t has largely increased
the business OF the town. Its most Important
resnl' has been the making OF TaloOttOn very
good cotton market, whereas, before the road
was built, It was no market at all for the great
staple.
The topic of deepest interest to our people
at this time is the securing Of the Savannah
and Pacific Short Line Railroad The citizens
# Eastman and vicinity are becoming aroused
to the importance of this M tier. We want
the road, and we cInnOt afford to lose it,
should it pass us by we fear it will ruin us
Realizing and appreciating this fact, it has
been determined to have a public meeting on
the 9TH prOximO to take such steps by way of
aid and enc engagement as may be deemed ad
visable. Hawkinsville, it is understood, is
anxious to be taken in the route, but Eastman
will make bold fight to save herself. Mr.. F.
Z. Burke OF Americas. writes tn Il they want
to give US the road, il we desire it. and be may
re- assured that we desire it.

through official regulations, but the position
taken by the friends of her husband is
shown In the following letter received at the
