Arrival of Thirty-Eight Cases ON
the Steamship City of Rome.
Nav York Tribnne. Z.


The Anchor Line steamship City OF
Rome brought 499 immigrants yester.
day, of whom 80 proved to be
assisted cases" They were all, ex.
cept one from Mayo, from Galway and
Ballinasloe. There were thirteen
workhouse cases. All of the assisted
persons were middle aged or young
and OF better class than their prede.
cessors. All, even those from the
wOrkhouse, expected TO 90 to friends
who would provide for them. All the
paupers except one, and four Others OF
the immigrants aided by the British
government, were detained at Castle
Garden to await the arrival of or

Among those from the workhouse
was Bridget 0'Neil, age twenty-seven,
from BallihaslOe. She had an lille.
climate child FIVE years old, whose
father she said was James Hardy. who
came to this country six months ago
She had not heard OF him since. She
had been in the workhouse one year.
Bridget's mother, Of No. 36 Cherry

Winnifred Stanton, a widow, with

Shooting Affair i'm Quiet Old
keRersyille,
Knoxville Chronicle, 10.

From gentlemen who came down
yesterday from Rogersyille, Hawkins
county, we gather the details Of q dit
acuity in which q. C. Speers, Circuit
Court Clerk, and r. j. Blevins. OK
Sheriff of the county, came near losing
their lives Saturday night, at the
hands Of pistol packer named Charles
Wells.
Wells, 1t appears, was boarding at
the house OF Mr. Speers, a most ex.
oe.lent citizen and popular official, as
was also Mr.. Blevins, a 'brother-iu.
law Of Speers. Wells was somewhat
intoxicated at the supper table, aud
made use Of some coarse remarks
IN conversation, TO which Mr.. Speers
objected, and ordered the intoxicated
man ont Of the house. He went 10
the door, Mr. Speers following, when
Wells drew pistol and fred several
shots at him. Fortunately every shot
failed to hit Speers, but ball took
effect in the thigh Of Mr.. Blevins, who
was sitting near 10 company with bis
wife. Blevins. who was temporarily
disabled from the effects Of an acei.
dent received a short time since. had a
orutoh in bis hand, with which he
struck at Wells, when the latter
opened FIRE on Blevins, but every shot
missed him. Both Blevins and Speers
were unarmed, but followed Wells
some distance, using almost anything
in reach TO disable the latter and effect
his arrest. Wells continued firing
wildly as he retreated, wounding a BY.
siander named Morris, in the arm,
MT. X. Richardson and one or two
Others finally succeeded 10 arresting
trial.
Wells had formerly been adIudeed
a lunatie, and he was for some time
confined in the State Asylum for the
Insane, but had been considered al
entirely recovered for the lasI two Of
three years.
Mr. Bleyins' wound in the thigh II
not pronounced dangerous and Morris
wound is less serious.
The affair created great excitement

A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA
A bottle and its Message Carried
200 Miles 10 q Dead Captains
Home.
Philadelphia Record.


Six years ago the schooner Ida
Burdsall, of Toms river, N. j., sailed
from Philadelphia to Southern mort.
She was commanded by He. Brewer
Of Point Pleasant, N. j., who had
shipped full complement of officers
and men. The vessel and its fated
crew passed down the river and out
beyond the Capes with all sails set
apparently bound on prosperous and
swift voyage. She was never seen
again. Days glided by, and the owners
Of the Burdsall and Captain Brewers
wife waited patiently for news of a
safe arrival in the schoOner's south>
hound port. Weeks wore on to months
and no tidings came.
Mrs. Brewer and her son went for
the lost husband and father. and as
the years passed on they gave up all
hope. The son grew up to mans es.
tate, and finally, when time had soft
ened the grief of her loss, the wife
married again and moved away from
the old home whence her first husband
had left her to go down to his watery
grave.
Two weeks ago a passing idIer along
the surf at Ocean Beach picked up a
sealed bottle from the waves. The
bottle contained scrap o. paper, on
which a few almost indistinct lines
we're written. 1t was a message
from the dead, which had been tossed
upon the ocean for six years, buffeted
for thousands Of miles and thrown
up at last within a few miles of the
home for which it was intended,
The scTawling lines were written by
Captain Brewer, to his wife, dated
oil the terrible coast of Hatteras,
where his vessel went down. The CAPS
tain wrote that he expected to 20
down every moment, and he desired,
in case the bottle and its contents
we're found, that the paper should be
sent to Mrs. Brewer, at Point Pleas
ant. Ocean county. N j. lie sent
his love to her and to his son, and ex-
horted the latter to always look out
for the comfort and welfare of his
mother. Young Brewer, the son, now
lives at Cape May; and the bottle and
paper we're the other day forwarded
70 him. He at once recognized the
handwriting as that Of his father, and
was the bearer Of the long delayed
missiye to his mother. who was great
ly affected at the reception Of such an
unexpected message from her dead
husband. She confirmed the judg.
ment Of her son as to tho writing, and
retained the paper as a precious sou.

Much speculation has been INDUCED
In since the return Of General Crook
concerning the whereabouts of the
notorious Ju, the willy Chiricahua
chiettain. He was known to have led
many OF the most daring raids from his
Sierra Madre stronghold into both
Sonora and chihuahua, and his nun
oerless 6endish atrocities had caused
his name to become a synonym with
the Mexicaas for all that was hateful
and terrible. At the time the Chirics.
huas surrendered to General Crook it
was stated that Ju and his
band were absent in the
foothills on a marauding expedition,
and such was generally believed
to be the case; but from information
recently obtained, it seems pretty Ger.
tain the dreaded savage, in addition
to being at war with the entire white
race, is also an outcast from his own
people. The story as told to an army
officer by one of Crooks csptives
who was formerly enlisted as scout and
stationed at Fort Bowie, is about as
follows:
Some time last fall Ju and his band
made descent from their mountain
fastness upon small foothill settle.
ment in the State of chihuahua. The
village was surprised by the savages
aud the fighting portion of the in.
habitants killed or put to fight. After
the red devils obtained possession
they burned and pillaged the town,
outraged the women and murdered
defenseless children, as is their usual
custom. Among the plumber was a
large' quantity of mescal, and the
saVages, deeming themselves safe from
attack, celebrated their victory by
free indulgence in the faverite bever-
age of the Mexicans. The result was
a debauch which would have been
worthy OF Satan and his imps. Means
while the inhabitants, who had fed at
the time of the attack, returned to
the scene. They found the savage
marauders nearly overcome BY their
excuses, and in no condition to de.
TEND themselves. Realizing that their
turn had come, the Mexicans were
not slow to exact vengeance upon
the murderer of their families and
destroyers OF their homes. An at.
tack was made upon them and only
four of the band escaped, among
whom was Ju aad the ex,scout. They
returned to their mountain strong.
hold, where the families and friends
of the exterminated warriors were
awaiting their coming. When the re,
suit of the i'll fated expedition and the
cause of its failure were made known
a howl of indignation was raised and
Ju, as the leader of the band, was
held responsible for the disaster. His
past successes and popularity were not
sufficient to withstand the storm of
indignation and the discounted chief
was forced to fee for his life, several
relatives Of the deceased bucks taking
a shot at him as he disappeared. Since
then the once powerful Ju has had no
communication with his tribe aud N

THE New Orleans Picayune is in,
correct and unfortunate in stating
that Mr.. D. P. Hadden, President Of
the Taxing District, and DR.. r. w
Mitchell, who is or was connected
with the National Board of Health,
are brothers1in-law, and hence the in.
ference that President Hadden gets
his inspiration in fighting the Marine

classic vernacular, from q member Of
his own family having a special per.
sonal interest. This is entirely irrele.
want to the main ISSUE. IF related at
ell they are only cousins, and that BY
marriage. 1t may be that DR.. Mitch
ell married Mr.. Hadden's cousin, but
this cuts no figure in the case.
Public questions should be discussed
on their merits in spirit Of GOODNESS
and fairness. DR.. Mitchell may have
been little sensational in statements
regarding an alleged rice fever below
New Orleans st one time, but he was
connected with a sensational board
whose secretary in the spring of 1880
boldly declared that yellow fever
would be all over the Mississippi
valley before the middle of August,
and may have made mistakes like
others. However, he is a highly repu-
table physician and gentleman, who
would not Intentionally do wrong even
for the benefit of afriend. So therei is
no use in the Picayune trying to make
anything out Of a little kinship, DR..
Mitchell knows a great deal about vel,
low fever, and really, if there was any
opening that he would accept, we
would be glad to see him connected
with the Marine Hospital Service.
What our humorous friend MADDEN
knows about yellow fever and quaran-
tines he got second handed, as he has
never happened to have the leisure to
REMAIN during an epidemic Of that
kind. This, we allow, showed
good sense and discretion, which is
but another name for valOr. He has
made the mistake Of getting on train
that is side-tracked and will never
bulge an inch, except toward the
yard, where it will be taken to pieces
aud utilized like so much scrap iron.
For progressive man, who can pave
streets and hold a recorders court as
we'll as he can, this does seem a strange
blunder; but it teaches the old lesson
that men who are good at some things
are not experts at all others. Already
he has had to go to the Marine
Hospital Service to borrow the Aotilla
lately turned over by the National
Board Of Health in order to maintain
the boosted quarantine at Presidents
Island. And inssmuch as a police
man from the city has lately been in

farce. Of course, and very ridiculous

contributing money enough to keep up
this ehilds play, no great harm, if
any, has been or is likely to be done.
