A Mine President Arrested.
Utica Special, Isth.

William Whelan, President of the Whe.
Ian Consolidated Copper Mine of Eureka,
New, was arrested in Albany ON Saturday
and brought to this city, on a warrant OBJ
tanned here charging him with fraud in
connection with the mine. Whelan inter-
ested citizens of Utica last fall in the COP
per mines near Eureka, referring them to
ores sent to Boston, to proofs in the
central office at Chicago, and to
the mines themselves. An examina-
tiOn of the ores in Boston is claimed to
have been entirely satisfactory, and over
$4,000 was put into the scheme here,
stock being taken by score of persons,
and the largest amount by w. p. Fish, of
the Utica Gas Company. A. ID. Barber
took fifty shares. Investments were also
made, it is understood, by persons in AL
bany and Western New York aggregating
100000. An expert was subsequently
sent to Nevada, and he made depressing
report. Three copper mines consolidated
were there, but, in the opinion of the ex-
pert, they were not worth working No
work was being done in them, but the
money paid for the copper
stock in this State was ALLEGED
to be employed by Whe1an
in developing silver mine near the COP
per property. On receiving the report.
the Utica stockholders, in concert with
others of Albany, by representations
which are withheld, secured Whelan's
presence in Albany, where the arrest was
quietly made. Whelan's silver mine is
reported by the expert to be valuable, and
while the purpose of the copper mine
stockholders is withheld, it is understood
that settlement by an exchange of
copper for silver stock is favored. Whe-
Ian is in charge of an officer at the Baggs
Hotel, and every effort is being made
to keep the matter quiet

RoNIANCE UNDER a CLOUD.
Love at First sight-A Hasty Marriage
and an Angry, UnreIenting Father.


The circles of society in this city have
been interested the past few days by the
presence at the Lafayette Hotel of a
newly married couple. whose union is as
sOciated with some romantic features.
J. Carroll Barney, gentleman said to be
known in New York, jOurneyed to Cleve-
land, Ohio, about three weeks ago to
transact certain business. His affairs
were not sufficiently arduOus to pre-
vent his taking part in the frivOli-
ties of Cleveland society, and sew
eral invitations came to him at
his hotel. On Thursday, January Is,
he was present at a german given
by lady of social prominence, and there
he was introduced to young lady, with
whom he waltzed several times. They
parted that night to meet again the next
day and the next. 1t was clear case of
lOYe at first sight, and the trOth was
plfghted before Sunday had passed. The
following Monday, January %, the young
lady became Mrs. Carroll Barney. OPP
pOrtunity favored the sudden determina-
tion Of the lovers, The parents of the
young lady were absent in Florida, and
she was staying as guest in friends
house. There was no stern parent to
watch her footsteps, or fond mother to bid
her reflect; besides, the years of her life
scarcely number seventeen, while her
lover and husband is deep in the thirties.
They left Cleveland for New York, and
passed the first few days at the st. James
Hotel.
Letters were written on both sides to
parents, and extremely angry replies came
by return mails. The venerable papa Of
Mr. Barney became so excited that the
son and daughter-in-law deemed it wise to
remove their quarters to this city. On
February they registered at the Lafay-
ette Hotel. and many people acquainted
with Mr.. Barney. Jr., called TO see him,
and came away delighted with his wife.
The state of affairs, however, soon leaked
out. especially as the sunlucky bride
groom is dependent altogether on his
father for funds. Mr.. Barney, Sr., made
his appearance at the hotel last Tuesday,
but the tears of his new daughter-in-law
and the protestatiOns of his Benedict of
spring neither wrung his heart nor his
purse-stFings. Mrs. Barney's mother
wrote in a kind manner, but the ship of
the new household is still beating about
on the waves of uncertainty, for Mr.. Bar
new. ST., remains Obdurate. On Saturday
the Young people moved from the hotel to
lodgings somewhere in the city, where they
are awaiting events, which may be has
tened by the mediation of friends. A
number of society people left cards at the
hotel

The Geneva correspondents of the Lon

arv II: ssHeayy snow storms, extending
over a period of fifteen days, have pro-
duced an extraordinary earthslip in the
valley of Faverges, above which towers a
high mountain Of the same name. The
scene of the phenomenon is near the vii
lage of Marais and the Chateau du Dia-

people of the village were alarmed by
terrible noise, which they knew could
only be Occasioned by a dislOcatiOn

toward the houses they had left only few
hours previously. Before noon the mud

NeaO York World.
William Barlow, of No. 152 Chatham
street, who was arrested Friday night and
since identified by Miss Christina Isher-
| wood, of No. Ill East Thirty-siXth street.
as the man who assaulted and robbed beI.
on January IL in the Fourth avenue tun-
mel, was arraigned yesterday before JUS
tlce Duffy in the Jefferson Market Court.
Barlow is about fifty-five years old, of
medium height and heavy frame, with
gray hair and red whiskers tinged with
gray. He was shabbily dressed and look
ed like tramp.
Miss IsherwoOd appeared with her
father. She told her story substantially
as it has already been published i'm the
World. While going down the steps into
the tunnel at Thirty eighth street, she
was seized violently by the shoulders
and thrown down. Her assailant,
whom she recognized in the prisoner.
wrenched from her hand a pocketbook
containing $27 in money and pair of
opal earrings valued at $40.
did you have your pocketbook in your
hand? asked Justice Duffy.
Eyes, SIR" replied Miss Isherwood.
"Well," continued the Justice '"that is
a very careless habit and ought to be re-
buked. Besides, it tempts poor men who
happen to be in your way. You ought to
have an inside pocket"
"Inside pockets are exceedingly incOn-
venient, ventured the young lady.
Are you positive as to the identity of
the prisOnerY'
''Oh, yes, sir; am sure he is the man."
"Was it light enough in the tunnel for
you to see him distinctly"
"It was quite as light as it is here"
When the prisoner was called to the
stand he went near to where Miss Isher-
wood was standing, and with an ex-
preston of alarm on her face she turned
to her father, who was standing close by,
eXclaiming timidly: sob, am afraid to
stand there with that man." Justice
Duny informed her that she was perfectly
safe.
Having received permission to question
the complainant, Barlow turned around
so as squarely to face Miss sherwood and
asked: ''Did you ever see me before Satur-
day night at the station house?'
"Yes," she replied, firmly, II saw you
in the tunnel when you assaulted me and
stole my pocketbOok."
Barlow, turning to the Justice, pro-
tested that he was not the man, and in
sisted that this was done out of spite. He
said he was an agent, and had only been
in this country two months. He was born
in England.
Peter Sheeran, of No. 152 Chatham
street, who was arrested shortly after
Barlow, depOsed that on January 18th
Barlow called him out of the house and
they went together to liquor store.
When asked where he got his money Bar
low replied: Cup town." The next day
they went to a pawn shop at No. 1897
Bowery and Barlow pawned the ear
rings for So. When shown the earrings
found by the detectives in pawn shop on
Sixth avenue the witness Immediately
identified them as those that Barlow had
pawned on the Bowery.
Barlow was then committed without
bail to answer to the charge of highway
robbery

FERRY'S FIGHT.
The Charges of Bribery.

DETROIT, Feb. 14.-The legislative com.
mittee investigating the charges of bri-
berry in the Senatorial canvass heard some
interesting testimony to-day. One wit
ness said he had sought votes for Ferry by
a promise of appointments to office. He
had no authority from Ferry to make
such promises, but had full trust that
Ferry would honor his friends drafts III
this line.
Several witnesses testified to local
newspaper influence having been pur-
chased by Iubbell against Ferry. One
newspaper editor testified to having spent
81, 500, obtained from Hubbell, in giving
dinners and otherwise electiOneering
against Ferry. His animus against Fer
ry grew out of the latter's having ignored
himself and friends in securing the ap-
pointments. A good deal of this kind OF
testimony was given. The newspapers
named were small local journals.

THE SENATOR HILL EULoa1Es
Senator Ingalls, Reply to the Editor of
the "Baptist Weekly

When the eulogies on Senator Ben Hill
were delivered in the Senate, some davs
ago, Senator ingalls, made a few remaris
which were made the subject of an edito-
rial in the New York BaDtist JYeekia,.
which concluded in these words:
Mr.. ingalls,, we believe, is an infidel.
ana these, gloomy, hopeless utterances
ntly embody his sentiments in relation to
a future life. Mr.. Ingalls, views are
simply heathenish. Instead of accepting
the doctrine of future life, so distinctly
taught by Christ, he harbOrs the conflict
ing c0ntectures of the old heathen
philosophers, whose minds alternated
between hope and fear, and is content to
initiate them in their lamentable hesita-
tion and doubt"
To this Mr.. Ingalls, makes a rather
hvely response, of which the following is
an abstract;

A Washington dispatch to the Boston
Journal saysi Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, the member of the Finance Com
mittee which had charge of the cotton
schedule, and who is the only man in the
Senate on either side who seemed
to be thoroughly informed about
it, made the following state
ment tonight to the Journal cores
pondent as to the effect of the action of
the Senate: "New England manufacturers
were anxious to have 45 per cent. rate
fixed on the fine hosiery, laces and en-
brOideries, as they arc not now made in
this country, and they believed that this
increase of duty would assist in de-
veloping the manufacture of this
class of goods, but they have been
defeated in their attempts to secure this
increase. 1t is believed that all the other
changes made by the committee will not
unfavorably affect the manufacturing in
terests of New England. There is no re-
ductiOn above two cents per pound on any
of the grades of fine yarn, and it is be-
lieved that the New England manufac-
turers can stand this reduction. The
manufacturers of cotton goods will also
be able to continue the manufacture at
the reduced rate without serious embar-
rassment. The cotton schedule, as adopt-
ed by the Senate in committee of fhe
whole, is more favorable to the New Eng
land manufacturing interest than the bill
reported by the Tariff Commission"
