Prof. Nordenskjold telegraphs the
following from Scrabster to the asseci-
ated press at London: "During my
excursion on the inland ice DR.. Ma
thorst, with steamer Sofia, in charge of
Captain Nilsaon,. anchored, Oh the 9th
of July in the bay, near Cape York,
1865 north. The doctor was accom-
panied from Godhavn by an Esquimau
interpreter named Hans Christian, who
had met at Godhaven a party of fifteen
Esquimaux from Walstenholm. They
stated they had been informed by 9TH
natives that the commander of an
expedition, whose name they
pronounced 'Kasleyh,' and another
member of the party which had arrived
at a point north of Smiths sound were
dead; that the rest of the expedition
had returned on sledges to Littleton
island. Unfortunately this informa-
ton was not given to DR.. Nathorst un-
til he had returned to Godhaven. l,
myself, examined Christian and his
account seems to be reliable. Before
starting northward the Sofia met on
July Is at Gedhavn the whaler Pro-
teus, which intended to proceed to Lit,
tleton island, and if necessary and I'M
iinpeded by ice, to Lady Franklin bay.
When the Sofia visited Smiths sonnd
that body of water was encountered
with ice." This was received in Lon
don last Monday, and is the first news
we have from Greedy. This would in
innate the death of Greedy. 1t is to be
hoped that 80 far it is untrue, as his
gallant little band will need all his en-
ergy, bravery and knowledge in their
present difficulties.

The London Times, in speaking of

and collected, and has no fear Of being
hung. Efforts are being made to OBJ
tain the services of Mr.. Charles Rus

obtain funds for his defense. The
Times further says that it is stated that
O'Donnell was a patient in the royal
infirmary at Edinburg in 1879, for So
called ~elephantiasis of the thigh. All
the witnesses against him have arrived
from Cape Town, and are in charge of
the police to keep from being interfered
with. Mrs. Carey was interviewed in
regard to the killing of her husband.
She was not inclined to talk. She ap-
peared very much downcast. When
questioned about the affair she said
that she firmly believed that O'Donnell
was an invincible and that his mission
on board the steamer was one of death.
She denies O'Donnell's statement con-
corning the circumstances of the kill

ed. Her evidence would show this.
She hoped that on her arrival in Lon

ample protection, and appeared timid
about appearing in the witness stand
and giving her evidence. She said,
that she had heard O'Donnell
ell much of his history to her husband
before he killed him. She says that he

which they could have done, the money
would have been productive. The lots
have not only been unproductive, but
have boon an expense for taxes. And still
the old policy is adhered to. Ifs man
who is interested in the prosperity of
the place can sell a lot at any sort of a
reasonable price to a person who will
certainly build upon it he ought by all
means to let it 60. First, the money will
bring interest which the lot does not
do, and, second, it will build up the
town and enhance the value of his 9TH
er real estate if he has. any. Mr.James
H. Lucas of St.Louis, who in his life
time was avery large real estate own
or, used to pursue the policy of giving
away, or selling at a merely nominal
sum, every alternate lot in a block, with
tho proviso tina, buildings of a certain
character should be erected uponthem.
Thus he increased the value of his other
lots and created q demand for them. If
we should suggest such q thing to some
of our real estate owners here they
would most probably think we had
gone crazy. 1t remains to be seer
whether their plans and their judgment
are better than those of old Jim Lucas,
who died worth several millions OF dol
