CAPTAIN wEsB,s WIDOW.
Her Confidence in Her Husbands Powers
The Dead Mans Programme.

Buffalo Special to New York Tribune
The observed of all observers at Niagara
Falls to-day was the widow of Captain Webb.
She arrived there last night, accompanied by
Mr.. Kyle to attend the inquest upon her
husbands body. Before admission could be
two proceeded to the whirlpool. When they
reached the bank, from which good view of
the maelstrom could be obtained, Mrs. Webb
exclaimed: "Why, there is nothing there
that my Mat couldn't do" She subsequent
ly examined the rapids, and came to the con-
clusion that he husband swan them in safe
ty, but met his death by coming in contact
with jagged rocks at the mouth of the whirl-
pool.
Mrs. Webb is only twenty-four years of
age, is small III stature, and has refined APP
pearance. In conversation with reporter
she stated that she had been married. to Cap
tain Webb three years. during which time
they had travelled over large portion of Eu-
rope. She came to America last May, and
ever since has lived in a cottage at Nantasket
Beach, in Boston harbor. She said she had
implicit confidence in Captain Webb's judy
ment; and when he talked of swimming the
Niagara she raised no objection. The widow
stated that her possessions were limited. con-
sisting almost entirely of 91 500 in 212 per-
cent consols.
Immediately after returning from the rap
ids Mrs. Webb went to the cemetery. She
was urged to spare herself the pain which an
inspection of the remains would cause, but
she could not be dissuaded. Her first excla-
nation when the sheet was removed was,
"Oh, that is not my Mat" She soon dis
covered her mistake and then it was all her
escort could do to remove her from the
vault, the atmosphere OF which was sitting
Mrs. Webb consented to permit the body to
be buried until fall, wheE it is believed that
it will be in better condition for removal. 1t
is understood that it will be taken to Nan
tasket Beach or to England. 81 intend to live
permanently in America" Mrs. Webb
said to the Tribune correspondent.
But circumstances may arise to make me
change my mind. Two children are left
fatherless by the Captains death. One is
boy of two years old, and the other is girl
of eight months The boy is perfect image
of his father. We left Liverpool on the 10th
of last May. Mr.. Webb had $500 for his first
weeks work at Nantasket On his return
from Niagara he was to receive So 900 week.
When he returned from his first visit to the
rapids he told me the dan ger had been great
ly exaggerated In fact, the Americans, he
said, had not much idea of water. | must
deny the report that l tried TO dissuade him
from the swim. He expected to swim the
rapids once week as speculation. He was
looking toward a prosperous time, He
was full OF confidence. 1t was one of his pet
savings that a man could live in surf where
a boat would die. / am certain he would have
succeeded had he not been thrown against a
rock or some other obstruction"

PERE HYACINTHE.
A Portrait of the Great French Preacher by
FelIow-Student.
Lafayette Courier.

Lafayette Courier.
The reporter CHANGED to meet the Rev.
Father Mailman, of Little Rock, Ark. for
merly of this city, in a Columb ia-street store
this morning. On his casually mentioning
that Pere Hyacinthe, the noted French
priest, who ten years ago created a world
wide sensation by his withdrawal from the
Church of Rome and subsequent marriage
with nun, was contemplating lecture tour
of the United States, Father Hallinan sug-
gested that he would have done better to
have come ten years ago when public inter-
est was centered in him.
The fact was soon developed that Father
Hyacinthe and Father Mailman had been
theological fellow-students in France, and
had sat beside each other for oyer half
year
The picture Father Mailman drew of Hy-
acinthe was not intended for publication, but
we trust he will forgive our making it public
property. Hyacnthe he described as a man
of violent temper and strongly self-opinioned.
His predomihating trait is vanity-a woman
ish vanity. A man of wonderful imagina-
ton and strong physical magnetism; not the
least spiritual, quite the reverse-intensely
animal; his face coarse and monkish; the
only student out of hundfeds whom the pro-
fessors ever had 10 snub, and his arrogance
and pride called for frequent applications of
.ha snubbing process in alopathic doses

Valuable Electrical Information.
Boston Journal.


The secrets of electricity are many, in spite
of the progress made in Harvesting it for the
use of man, and every fact relating to the
matter has more or less value. The other
day, during a severe thunder storm, a man
stood before the bar of downtown liquor
shop in New York, in a condition that be-
spoke badly shattered nerves. He had an
empty glass in one hand and a bottle in the
other, and his apparent intention was to fill
the former with whisky from the latter. An
unsteadiness in the mans legs, which made
him sway like wnd-shaken reed, caused
the splitting of the liquor on every side ex-
cept the inside of the glass. "Come, John"
said companion at last, tired of watching
the fruitless efforts of his friend; "come, go

THE OLD TICKET.
Real Feeling in Indiana for Tilden and
Hendricks.
ShelbyviIle Volunteer (Dem.J

Shelbyville Volunteer (Dem.)
A good deal of lying is being done to estab-
lish the fact that Mcdonald is the choice of
the Democratic press of this State as their
next candidate for the presidency. Efforts
are being made to produce the impression
that Mcdonald is the favorite as against the
whole field, including the ''old ticket" This
is not true There are many Democratic
papers for Mcdonald in case Tilden and Hen
bricks refuse to run, but if they consent to
run these same papers are for the ''old ticket
against all others, including Mr. Mcdonald.
This is the position, for instance of the New
Albany Public Press, as that paper has fire.
quently declared. The reason it is for
Mcdonald now is because the ed
itor is not convinced that Tilden
and Hendricks will allow the use
of their names. Let it be once understood
that the "old ticket desires to come before
the people again and it would be found
there were very few Democratic papers in
Indiana that would antagonize the Tilden
and Hendricks ticket with Mcdonald. The
following Democratic papers now advocate
the ''old ticket strongly, despite the state
ment of last Mondays Sentinel that the
Democratic press of the State are practically
unanimous" for Mcdonald: The Michigan
City Dispatch, Wabash Courier, Terre Haute
Gazette, Terre Haute Democrat, New AL
bany Ledger, Anderson Democrat, Lawrence
Durg Register, UreencaSIle otar-freSS, FRANK
lin Jefiersonian, and Martinsville Gazette,
which aforementioned paper goes so far as to
publish tine pictures of Tiden and Hendricks
as they appeared in the ever-memorable cam
paign of 1876. In addition to these there are
many Others who prefer the "old ticket" to
any other if they can be induced to run.
There are only few papers ouspoken for
Mcdonald as against Tilden and Hendricks,
whatever may be asserted to the contrary by
over-zealous partisans. We venture to assert
that if the one hundred Democratic papers
of Indiana were interviewed to-day on the
subject that nine-tenths of them would say
that Tilden and Hendricks were the best
ticket for 1884, if they are willing to make
the race. SO the Sentinel had better put on
its specs and look little closer before it
concludes to get down off the fence and
openly espouse the cause of Mcdonald
against the field. 1t might make big mis-
take.

AS To Army Officers.

1t must not be hastily concluded that all
the officers of the army are engaged in dupli-
eating their pay accounts. In spite of the
activity in this new industry, some of the
officers of the army are still dancing their
way to womens hearts at Washington and
the watering places Others yet are bringing
influence to bear to retain the soft places
they have so long occupied. But the great
majority of them are simply doing their duty
as officers and gentlemen. They are out on
the frontiers watching the Indians, and doing
their work faithfully and well. They go
where they are ordered without protest, and
are strangers to influence and favoritism; and
after awhile, when all the tops and the idlers
and the intriguers and the embezzlers are put
out of the way these gentlemen will get both
the rest and the honor that are their due.

Mr.. VOLTS Arduous Efforts.

Editorial in New York Times.
The enterprising Mr.. Wolff it be the
same Mr.. Wolf-who used to convulse the
municipality annually with the claims of
Messrs. Toner and Demarest to constitute
the board of assistant aldermen of the city
of New York, has abandoned the highways
of public duty for the shady paths of private
profit. He is at present engaged in an able
and arduous effort, not to swear Toner and
Demarest, with the necessary implication of
Wolf, upon the city treasury, but to swear
certain female Indianian, with the same le-
gal attachment upon the Goelet estate,
which is believed to be adequate TO the sup
ply of the few and mple wants of Wolf.
Mr. Wolf was rather belated in his efforts to
to restore this child to the arms of an affec-
tionete parent, fer he does not seem to have
undertaken a hunt for the heiress of Peter
Goelet until that millionaire heart was be-
yond being gladdened by the sight of his
long-lost daughter. And upon presenting
this child with the strawb berry mark on her
left arm duly annexed and marked Exhibit
A." to her cousins, in default of her the
heirs and the present possessors of the estate,
Wolf has been surprised and disguised to re-
mark that they have not fallen upon her
neck, but have exhibited an inclination
rather to fall upon the personal promonto-
ries of Wolf himself. VOLTS faith in human
nature, which was good deal shaken by the
ingratitude with which his discovery of
Toner and Demarest was received, must be
completely shattered by the chilling want of
confidence with which the representatives of
the Goelet family have received, or rather
have not received the cousin and exclusive
heress TO the estate of Peter Goelet procured
for them at great trouble and expense by the
proving Wolf,
The moral of this tale seems to be that
miIlionaires cannot be too punctual in pro-
viding themselves with authentic heirs, or,
in default of them, IN drawing wills which
will offer no inducement to unauthentic and
posthumous claimants. There are always le-
gal Wolfs in cheap clothing looking for
chances of usefulness in restoring heirs to
families which have never missed them
And the legal Wolf is generally ready to as
sert undue influence or want of testamentary
capacity for the purpose of securing, if not
the full rights of his client, at least such a
partial recognition of those rights as will
enable his client in some degree to compen-
safe the services OF an able and devoted coun-
sel. That enemy to his profession and
