THE CASE OF FERRINGTON.
should His Trial Take Place In
Pennsylvania or Delaware

There seems 10 he considerable doubt
with the authorities in reference 10 the
proper place in which tOtry Ferrin ton,
the sailor who Is accused of causing The
death Of Thomas Fisher, the mate Of the
Adam &. Simpson. by knocking him
overheard in the Delaware river, oft
Deep Water Point Deputy Attorney
General Cooper visited Philadelphia
last week and had a conference with
United States District Attorney Narn-
tine, who stated that the man could not
be tried in the United States Court for
any higher offence than assault, which
would result in two years imprison-
ment in the event Of his conviction. As
the trial would take place on the 2lst Of
this month, the Deputy Attcrney-Gen-
eral was satisfied to let the man remain.
1t is now stated that word has been
sent to Mr. Cooper that the authorities
in Philadelphia have concluded TO sur
render the prisoner TO him, and that
Chief Hawkins and officer Ierby, will,
at the request of the Deputy States At.
torney, bring Ferrington to this city
today. The States Attorney and his
Deputy would prefer that the man
should be tried in the United States
Court in Philadelphia, as his trial in
this State will be attended with con
sid erable difficulty, and an exrenS" of
three or four hundred dollars, with
possibility of his being acquitted
He cannot, under any circumstances,
be convicted of any crime greater than
manslaughter, as there is no evidence,
beyond what he himself stated to the
men, to show that he knocked the man
overheard. That the act was uninlel-
tional is shown by the fact that he was
one Of the first to give the alarm, and
hurry to his rescue.
Another difficulty the authorities will
have to contend with, is the procuring
of witnesses, as they cannot comprI
those men who are now IN Philadelphia
to come here to testify. If they should
come voluntarily, they will have TO b"
held until Court meets, and as that is
three months from now, it is scarcely
probable that they would consent 10

The TelpErAnh Poles.

Some two years ago an ordinance WA
passed by City Council, under an act OF
the Legislature, taxing the Western
Union Telegraph company one dollarior
each pole that was at that time,o or should
be erected in the future in this city, but
which the City Auditor has been unable
to collect, the Company always making
some pretex for the non-payment.
About a month ago the attention OF
Council was again called to the matter
by the City Auditor, and he was IN
structed to have the poles cut down II
the tax was not paid within ten days.
The officials of the company were no
titled of this action, and promised, II the
time was extended for few days thai
the money would b- paid The tim"
agreed upon expired but instead "f
fulfilling their promise they srrt
communication to Council complain
ing that they were taxed too much, and
citing the amount paid in other elite.
A motion was offered by Mr.. Ba"chrr
that was adopted, instruCting the CllS
Auditor to remove the pole, of the
Western Union Company from the
streets if the tax was not paid in five
days. The time expired yesterday, and
Auditor Ball was ready with men ami
axes to carry the orders into execution
this morning, when he was waited upon
by Mr.. Harrington, of the law firm "i

company, who said that he was expect
ing a check for the amount by every
mail.

morning, but up to noon the check had
not come, and the Auditor said that III

he will pnt the men ut work cutting

A B@,Oet for Butler.

NEW YORK, May l5.-Everybody
outside Of Tammany Hall is ask
ing, with feeling of curiosity, what
does Boss u" Kelly's visit to Cover
nor Ben. Butler mean w no authorized
it? Such conjunction of peculiar
influences was probably never witness
ed in political astronomy before, and
the question, therefore, is natural
one, but to all interrogatores on the
subject the uniform answer of Mr..
Kelly and his friend is, "Wat and
see. The fact does not escape notice
that the Tammany Sachem not only
dined with Butler, but that Butler also
nrsS;dpl at a Lowell meeting, where
Kelly lectured.
There are a good many old time
Democrats who say they still remember
with patriotic eXultati0n, that they
helped to pet Ben. Butler in the New
York Park, in front of the City Hail. in
1873, who want TO know now what the
BOSS" really designs in thus going
out of his way to accept his hospitality
and his patronage. There is an air OF
mystery about it they do not quite fan
cy. They arr hardly prepared As y"t
10 accept the Essex St""tsman az "a pos,
sible candidate for the Presidency, and
if there is any scheme of that kind on
foot, they would like to know it a'
quickly as possible.
They do not feel like waiting tc
"see." 1t is no secret that the Tam
many managers at one time seriously
entertained the project of bringing on
Governor Cleveland for the next Presl'
dental race, but as recent events hdv
made that impossible, the conjectur"
that Kelly is grooming Butler to tah
his place. 1t is pretty risky undcl
taking for the Tammauy sachein, and
it will be curious to set what tht
Southern and New Orleans Democracy
are going to do about II. Possibly il
may reconcile them to his selection a.

had entered the complaint, did not an.
pear, and an officer who was sent for her
reported that she could not I've fopnn
A number Of the neighb0rs testified
that there we're frequent disturbance
in the house, and several of them had
heard Mrs. Blizzard scream murder
The lady who resides next door statal
that fights were of almost daily occur.
renee and that she had been compelled
on sev sral occasions to take her bah.
and leave her own house on account of
the disturbance In Billiards.. Another
neighbOr said that Mrs. Blizzard with
her baby and ID year old daughter Of
the defendants had frequently sought
refuge in her house.
This witness had seer black and bin.
marks on the baby, which Mrs. Blizzard
told her had been caused by the Ie.
fendant.
A relative testified that some two ar
three weeks ago, the daughter came :,
his house and complained that her
father had struck her, and ordered her
| from the house. AT the tim her mouth
was badly swollen from the blow, and
at his suggestion, she reported the cas-.
to Mr.. Harrington, who had q warran,
issued for his arrest. The matter was.
however, settled by his paying the costs
and upon his promising to do better in
the future, the girl returned home.
Mr.. Harrington said that the daugh.
ter was so much in dread of her father,
that he would not ask to have her
sworn, but would like her to makea A
statement. She said that her father
had again struck her yesterday, and
that he bad freqne emily sent her 10 buy
liquor for him, which she would not
have done had she not been afraid of
him. ...
This closed the evidence, and Biz
zavd made statement, in which he al-
mitted striking mis- wife, but said she
caused him to do it by her abuse, and
accusing him with doing things Of
which he was not guilty. He had
whipped his daughter, but she hal
given him good cause for doing it, and
sit would be cold day when he was
not allowed to chastise his own child. "
He alleged that she always went for
the liquor willingly, and he hal
frequently paid her for going.
Mr.. Harrington addressed the Mayor,
and said that this was one of the most
distressing cases that had ever come
under his notice. This man seemed not
only to be terror to his family, but
also to the whole neighborhood, aud he
would ask the Mayor to impose heavy
fine, and place him Under q sufficient
bond to keep the peace.
The Mayor then sentence Il him TO pay
a fine of $50 and costs, and furnish $500
bail to keep the peace.

HKRMosrL1A. Mex, May l5.-Gen.
Topatz, commanding the troops in So
nora, thinks that General Crook has en-
countered the Apaches and driven
them into their strongholds in the
Sierra Madre Mountains. He believes
the Apache question will never be set
tied while they retain their San Carlos
reservation, 1t being too near the rene
gade Indians in Sonora.
He says it is the general opinion OF
the people Of Sonora that the Indian
agents en- courage the Indians to leave
the reservation, depredate and steal
in Sonora, and carry back their plum
der to the reservation, where they ex-
change it for arms and ammunition
He thinks the removal or determination
Of the Apaches the only solution of the
difficulty, and has confidence in Gen.
Crook ability to conquer the rene
gades. He hopes the United States
Government will appreciate the diff
Guilty and hardships that Gen. Crook Is
now encountering.
CHICAGO, May 15.-A special de.

The expected advance of large war

district. Every effort will be made by
the Canadian forces to confine the Crees
to their own country, and no further
danger is anticipated. The struggling
bands now on this side of the border
will also be placed under surveillance
when they reach their reservation.
ST. LOUIS, May l5.-A special session
of the Choctaw Indian Council was
held at Armstrong Academy, in the
Capital of the Nation, yesterday, hav-
ing been called by principal Chief Me-
Curlin, to consider the Freedman ques-
tion. By the treaty of 1866 between the
Federal Government and the COnteder-
ate Indians, the Choctaws and Chicka-
saws agreed to emancipate and give the
usual rights TO the colored people in their
Nation within two years, for which
the United States was to give them
$500, 200, and if they failed to adopt
them in that time the money was to be
used to remove and settle them else
where. The ChoCtaws failed TO adopt
them, and the Government did not move
them, and they have been there ever
since without either citizenship, rights
or title to the land they work. The
Choctaws now desire 10 adopt them, and
for this purpose the Council was called.
