Warts on Animals.

For years, writes correspondent of

warts easily on animals, no matter where

are dry scalded, l scrape them lightly at

leaving soreness or irritation. The best

TWO WOMEN
With Four Living Husbands---A Double
Enoch Arden Case.
Remarkable Complications Caused by the
Unexpected Return OF Two Sailors
Who Were Supposed to be
Dead.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.e May 1S.-Over three
years ago the schooner Joseph Mayfeld,
owned principally by Jonathan May, of
this city, sailed out Of the Delaware upon
voyage to the West Indies. Lemuel Will
liams commanded her, and George Daisey
was her first mate. Each left behind wife,
living near the little seacoast hamlet Of
Ocean View, south of Cape Henlopen, Del
aware. The vessel sailed beyond the break
water, and the two wives might have seen
her spreading canvass as the schooner
passed their seaside home out to the
treachereus ocean. 1t was q fatal
voyage, and as week succeeded
weak, and month followed month without
anxiety; and as the months grew into years
a gloomy cast settled down upon the homes
OF those who had gone down to a watery
grave. Mrs. Daisey, the wife of the mate,
was less than twenty years of age, and was
the daughter of Captain Williams. Mother
and daughter, thus widowed by the sea,
were the last to abandon all hopes of the
return OF the unfortunate master, mate or
crew of the ill-starred schooner. One day
last year the wife of Isaac Whar.
ton, wealthy resident of Ocean View,
suddenly died, and a few weeks afterward
the widower asked Mrs. Williams to marry
him. After little struggle with recollec-
tions OF the past she consented. Soon
dltefWdTQ mrS. 0eO. DRlSSy uldTTleu young
Luther Evans, and the memory of the two
unfortunate sailors began to fade away.
The neighbors and friends had long
since ceased to speculate upon the
fate of the Mayfield and her crew. A few
months ago Captain Eben Williams, the
SON of the lost captain, sailed in the Mary
E. Fenwfck for the same port to which his
father had started upon his last voyage.
As nothing was heard from his vessel for a
long time it was supposed that he had also
been lost at sea. The good people at Ocean
View and the surrounding country have
been, therefore, thrown int. almost a
tumult of excitement upon the receipt
of information not only the Captain
of the Fenwick, but that Captain
Lemuel Williams and his mate,
George Daissy, have been found. The
former was reported safe at Trinidad, while
the other two were on their way to their
homes from a far Eastern port. Mrs.
Lemuel Williams, now Mrs. Israel Whar-
ton, and George Daisey's wife received this
wonderful news with mingled feelings of
dismay and pleasure. The gossips have
been busy every hour of the day, and the
end of the dreadful complication in the two
households has been the theme Of all
tongues.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE statue of

tai of granite nearly sixteen feet
in height. He is standing erect, with face

right hand rests. The unveiling cere-
mony will take place next Wednesday,
May 81, forenoon and afternoon. The
services at 10 a. m. will be conducted in
German, with A. j. d. Wedemeyer pre-
siding. Addresses will be delivered by Rev.
Il. Ph. Hennighausen, Rev. A. c. Wedekind,
d. D., and Rev. Ed. F. Moldehuke, Phi. D..

and the statue will be uncovered after ora
tions by Hon. o. d. Conger and Rev. j. G..

Still a Mystery.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the death and identity of the
beautiful young girl found suffocatsd by
gas at the Niagara House, this city, on the
Sth inst, has not yet been solved. A few
days ago young man giving his name as
R. s. Roberts called upon the authorities
and said be represented II. c. Roberts, re-
siding at Pana, Putnam County, ILL.,, who
was an uncle of the deceased young lady.
Her real name he refused to give, although
he said she was known as Edna Tate, the
same name under which she registered
at the hotel. Young Roberts paid all
the funeral expenses and had her body
placed in a vault in the Eastern Cemetery.
Miss Tate's effects, including the S25 found
in her pocket-book, were given to Roberts.
Yesterday Marshal Gray received a letter
and photograph of a young girl from Mrs.
Gundolph, of Mount Crawford, Rocking
ham County, Va, stating that her daughter
Jennie had been missing for Two weeks.
Mrs. Gundolph had seen an account of the
death of Miss Tate, and she was of the
opinion from the description that the
deceased was her daughter. The
picture was carefully examined, and
others fully identified the picture with that
of the dead girl. Accordingly, the body
was sent to Virginia last night To-day
information was received from Virginia
that the body was not that of Mrs. Gun
dolph's daughter, and stating that the re-
mains would be sent back to Baltimore.
Hence, it is not known who the deceased
really is. She is magnifcently dressed
and had costly jewelry. Colonel Joyce,
the proprietor of the Niagara Hotel, says
he has received over forty letters .inquiring
about young girls missing from their homes
who it was thought might be the deceased.
Five of the letters were from Chicago,
four from New York, eight from Philadel-
phia and seven from Virginia.

Defeat Of Revenue Reform.

1t has been often said by the Republican
that the fate of the bill reported by the
Committee on Ways and Means for the
reduction of war taxes, known as the
Morrison bill, depended on small mar
gin of votes. That it would be sustained
or defeated by very small majority
has been apparent for several weeks to
every one who gave close attention to
the subject The final trial of strength
between the protectionists and revenue
reformers came yesterday, and the bill
was defeated on motion made by a
protectionist to strike out the enacting
clause by vote of 156 in the affirma-
tive to 151 in the negative. This, it is
entirely probable, ends all effort on the
part of the Democrats to reduce taxa
ton and the surplus revenues during
the present Congress. There would
seem to be no use in spending further
time after the long and able, but unsuc-
cessful, battle for so reasonable and
conservative measure as that which
has just been killed. No doubt there
will be feints made to reduce internal
revenue taxation or remove it entirely
from whisky and tobacco; but these
will be of little consequence. The peo-
Co co and their renresentat;ves will will hardly

Railroad officIaI Gone Wrona.

ST. LOUIS, May 16.-Frank McGinniss,
Weighmaster of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way, was arrested late this afternoon
charged with defrauding the railroad COM
pany by system of false weights. It is
said if car weighed thirty thousand
pounds he would report it twenty thousand,
and divide the difference with the shipper.
He had a partner named j. 8. White, who
was locked up. 1t is asserted that quite a
number of shippers are involved in the
fraud. White, who was arrested, confessed
enough to reveal the whole scheme. He
said one of the largest lumber firms here
saved $1,000 in freight during the past nine
months by getting short weights from
McGinniss. The railroad company claims
to have lost very large sums of money by
the fraud. McGinniss was connected with
the defunct Hibernia Savings Bank, of this
city, and was indicted for embezzlement in
connection with its failure. Both were re-
leased on $500 bonds. McGinniss denies
the charge against him.

Double Murder In Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 1.-THE Courier
Journals Bardstown special tells of dou-
BILE murder in Nelson County. The muir
dered men are Herbert Armstrong and
David Brown. They were found in a field,
where they had been plowing. One was
shot through the heart and the other
through the head. The wounds show that
the killing was done with Spencer
rifle. In clump of bushes were
found two empty shells. The supposition
is that the murderer concealed himself in
the bushes and deliberately shot the men
down. 1t is not known who the murderer
is, but man named William A. Freeze is
suspected, and evidence goes to show that
he committed the crime. He had had busi-
ness troubles with the murdered men. The
rifle shells fitted Spencer rifle he owns.
Tracks leading from the bushes to his house
were also discovered. The men were all
well-to-do farmers. The excitement is
running very high, and it is feared that
Freeze will be mobbed.

Diuuinu for Diamonds.

f.! MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, May 1S.-S. B. Boyn-
ton, of this city, who is digging for dia-
monds near Waukesha, Wis, found two in
good gravel strata this week. One of the
stones was a splendid specimen, but the
other was an imperfect crystallization,
and is what is known as "Tort"
diamond. After the gravel had
been penetrated hardpan was struck
and he experienced trouble with
water. This week he will sink the shaft
five feet lower, and expects to strike
diamond depository. At depth of fifty
five feet the diggers came upon piece of
timber, evidently tamarack, in a splendidly
preserved condition. 1t must have lain in
its present bed for thousands of years. 1t
was not in the least petrified. In the upper
strata of gravel Boynton found quantities
of topaz stones, malachites, sardonics,
chrysolites, comedians, and pieces
of garnate. These specimens are
very fine. Such crowds have been at
tracted to the spot that he has been obliged
to build fence around the entire claim to
keep them away, thousands coming from
the surrounding country in one day. He
is operating on what is known as the Ket-
tie range of hills. They are mainly in
Wakesha County, extending semi-circu-
larly about 100 miles, with small spur in
Racine County. The range incloses a
gravel float, which must have swept down
from Michigan during the glacial period.

Incline plane Accident at Pittsburu.

PITTsBURG, May 16.-A fearful accident
occurred here to-day. The Monongahela In
clined Plane Company recently put in op-
Grafton new freight incline, about two
thousand feet in length, and running up a
steep hill. To-day, while team and two
men were being drawn up the hill, the en-
gineer became bewildered, and permitted
the cars to run faster than the ordinary
speed. The speed gradually increased,
and, becoming frightened, the engineer ran
away. The cars continued running, and
upon reaching its station, the cables
twisted and parted from the upper car,
containing the men and team. The horses
became excited, throwing the men upon
the track, injuring them severely, and the
car ran down the track at a terrible rate.
1t turned over, throwing both horses dis.
tance of five hundred feet, and killing
them instantly. The cars and depot were
hodlxy -ad
