FOREIGN NEWS.
The DanenhoMer Party.

NEW YORK, May Sd.-The Heralds Lon.
don special says The story of the sufferings
of Dapenhower and his comrades before and
after leaving tie Jeanette is too long to re.
late here. When they landed their legs were
so swollen ard fros. bitten that they were
obliged almost to crawl on their hands and
knees until they could get fuel to light fires:
Both Danenhower and Cole were noted
among the party for strength and vigor.
The most distressing case is that of Cole,
who had to be watched narrowly day and
n ight ever since landing at the mouth Of the
Lena. A Cossack has kept watch over him
all the way from Irkutsk. His mental de-
rangement first showed itself while in the
boat leaving the ship. At times he becomes
violent, and threatens the Lieutenant. Al
one time lie dashed at Lieutenant Danen
hover with knife. and before he could be
secured wounded the Lieutenant slightly in
the hand. The Chinese steward is apparent
ly in robust health.

From the Fifth Ward.
Eds. Independent ::

EttS. IftuepeUueHt
The citizens of the Fifth Ward have
had very little to say on Corporation
matters, but they are deeply interested
in having the affairs of the city proper
ly managed. The management of the
finances during the past four years has
certainly been such that all fair mind
ed men must give cred to the present
Mayor and Council. The credit of the
Corporation has been brought up from
a low point to par, Now that the
present &C ministration has paid Oft
nearly all the large floating debt, they
are just in condition to spend some
money on needed conveniences, such
as pavements, light, etc. 1t Is hard to
do anything without money, ana all
the surplus money has been devoted
during past four years to paying
off old debts that were pressing.
We are satisfied that the present
Mayor and Council Eve done every
thing possible to be done for the best
interests of the people of Martins burg,
and the results of their work show it to
any intelligent and fair minded
man. A change could not be for the
better, and might be for the worse.
Let us trust to the bridge that has car.
riad us safely over our financial trou-
bles, and stand by the men who have
stood by the best interests of the Cor
poration. In short time, with Goa
tinued good management, they will re-
duce our present heavy rate oftaxa-
ton, which will be hailed with delight
by MANY CITIZENS.
