Che Standards correspondent at Cairo SAYS
Gen. Gordon has sent a telegram to Sir Evelyn
Barring expressing the utmost indignation atthe
manner i'll which he has been abandoned by the
English government, and saying that henceforth
he will cut himself entirely adrift from those
who have deserted him, on whom will rest the

has determined tie dispatch the utmost avail
able force of all arms to relieve the army at
Khartoum. 1t is hoped that the force will be
ready to start in six weeks.

rifice, and then betraying and abandoning him.

The evidence before the coroner's jury is
about as follows: William Loffelmaker, who
is a native of Prussia, is about twenty-eight
years of age, and about three years ago married
Harriet Michael. They lived together appar-
emily happy, but Loffelmaker was %ill-tempered
and sullen, always claiming to be sickly, was
lazy and shiftless. and had no property of his
own Mrs. Loffelmaker was born in Dodge
county twenty-five years ago, and was hand
some, very mild and even tempered She had
eighty acres of land and some money; was a
member of the Baptist church, very kind to
her husband, while he was considered by the
neighbors to be a brute, but not dangerous. 1t
seems that a year ago he purchased the revol-
yer with which he committed the deed. A post
mortem examination was held on his body by
Drs. Flood and Bedient. He was found in a
small brain.
