CAUGHT AT LAST.
Arrest Of Q Nan for Violating the United
States Laws.

BANGOR, Nov. IA.
Deputy United States Marshal Marble Of
Portland, arrived in this city this morning
and informed the officers at the police station
that he wanted Frenchman BY the name Of
Eli Darvue. As it happened. Officer Dough-
erty knew where Darvue was at work, and
went and arrested him. Darvue is charged
with selling liquor without paving the United
States tax. Marshal Marble says it has been
the custom of Darvue to attend cattle shovs
and fairs and peddle liquor. He would have
a supply with him, and from this he would
fill half-pint and pint bottles, which he could
easily lug about, and when opportunity and a
customer were found, could sell at good
profit. Mr.. Marble has been on the lookout
for him long time. Darvue says he is in
nocent and never sold drop of liquor in his
life. He belongs in Waterville.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE PRoTEUs INQUIRY.
Lieut.. GarliDston Before the Board OF
Examination.
WASHINGTON. Nov. II.

WAsHISGroN. Nov II.
The examination of Lieut. Darlington be-
fore the Proteus court of inquiry was re-
sumed this morning. Lieut. Darlington said
the crew Of the Proteus consisted OF twenty
two men. 1t was not shipped from the best
class Of men. The vessel was secured so
late the best sailors had made their arrange
ments, and the men we're picked up about ST.
John. The character of the men. however,
did not interfere with the results of the ex-
petition. The witness understood from his
directions that i. was his duty not TO stop on
the way up. but go as far az ne could and If
he didn't get up TO Greely's to make the
depot of supplies as he came back. not as he
went up. Witness went south in his boats
phoping TO meet the Yanlic and 10 come back
in order to make depot there and TO re-
main with some of his men and spend the
winter. Witness always had in view the
chance of the Yantic getting through Mel
vile Bay. He expected the Yantic to turn-
ish provisions upon hearing circumstances OF
the loss of the Proteus and her supplies, and
to carry them with himself and men back to
Li,teton Island.
In reply to the counsel Lieut.. Darlington
said be understood his instruction as requir-
ing him Only to deposit party and stores at or
near Life Boat Cove, when it became appar-
emily clear the vessel could not be pushed to
Discovery Harbor Nothing ever occurred at
the signal Office before the departure which
contemplated or suggested as far as he knew,
leaving any stores as Littleton Island upon
the way north. To land stores there on the
way north would have consumed sixty or
seventy hours. The weather was good. Dur
ingssuch delay, however, the entire conditions
might have changed. The delay might be
disastrous and it was considered best to push
northward while the conditions were favor
able This concluded the examination OF
Lieut.. Darlington.
Gen. w. B. Hazen then took the stand and
stated the circumstance and conditions under
which the Greedy expedition and subsequent
expeditions fitted out and despatched, being
substantially as has already been made pablo.

The Founder of Wellesley College,
HIS WILL CONTESTED ny WOMAN WHO
CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN HIS WIFE

Some months since a report came from
New York that the will Of the late Henry F.
Durant. the founder of Wellesley college
was to be contested hy a woman who claimed
that she was the wife of the deceased before
his marriage with the well known lady who
bears his name and who was his co-worker
in establishing the college. Two of the
morning papers of Tuesday gave a long and
carefully prepared story told bv Mrs Caro-.
line +. Shelley, who, it now appears, is the
contestant of the will. claiming a widows
dover tor herself and the balance for her
daughter. Mrs Shelley was at one time wife
of a Captain Shelley, who was a staff officer
during the war. She saws that her maiden
name was Caroline T.. kendrck: that she
WAS the daughter Of a Boston physician, and
was born in this city in 1884 that at an early
age she went upon the stage under the name
of Clara Morelsnd. playing at the old Nation
al Theatre in this city, and elsewhere
that in January. 1852. she met Mr.. Durant,
who induced her to go to New York
with him. and that they boarded at the Astor
House AS man and wife, after soiemnly pledg-
ing themselves to each other; that while stop
ping there she introduced him to friend as
her husband that subsequently she lived in
Boston in rooms provided by Mr.. Durant;
that her daughter was born at East Boston in
Mr.. Durant continued for several wears. and
after his marriage with his Acknowledged
wife; that in 1855 he visited with her in
Nova Scotia, and there was introduced As
her husband; and that she did not know he
was married to another woman until 1859
that upon making this discovery she attempt
ed to kill Mr.. Durant with dagger, but he
disarmed her; that he then offered to give
her $50. 900 to set her up in business, but she
would not accept it and would not keep the
valuable diamonds he had given her. though
some of them were afterwards given her
daughter. Soon after she went TO New York
and met Shelley, then law student. and
married him of hand and lived with him
at different places. In 1868 they came
to Boston, and here they quarrelled. and she
was arrested for stealing articles which she
claims were her own. and was sentenced to
the House of Correction. from which, how
ever, she was pardoned before the expiration
of the sentence. Two years later she was
divorced from Shelley, and she says that sf-
ter that her familiar relations with Mr.. Durart
were resumed for short time, though she at
that time supposed his marriage was prior
to his acquaintance with herself. She re-
ceived money from him for her daughter un-
til short time before his death, and saws she
had reason to expect gift Of Fifty thousand
dollars from him. This is in brief the re-
markable story that, in anticipation of
threatened trial in court, is now made public

ION. and her daughter is married. Her
counsel are said TO be Gov. Butler, Hon.
