A Mix Up.

New York, November 29.-Augusta
Hester, a young dressmaker, who came to
this country from Berlin in 1873, at JEFF
ferson Market Police Court to-day,
accused Horace Robert Montague Mad
dock, a dashiDg fellow 2S years old, whs
speaks half a dozen languages, with
abandoning her. Some years ago Mad
dock obtained a commission in the British
army and left his native town of Surbiton,
England, for service in India. Two years
ago he turned up in this city, having
come from Chicago, and met Miss Kester
in a Fourth Avenue boarding house. He
was then getting occasional employment
as ''spotter'' on the Fourth Avenue
Horse Car line. The conduct of the
couple gained for them a notice to quit
the boarding house, The two then be-
gan housekeeping, but Montague soon
disappeared. The Kester, however, &C.
casionally heard of his marrying other
girls. She finally traced him to Roches-
ter, where she found him located as ''Dr.
Maddox, " engaged in the vending of
proprietary medicines. DIR. Mad
dock confessed having married a
young in Rochester less than a
month ago. He was astounded when his
partner informed him, in an inner con-
sultation ROOM, while engaged with a
patient, that ''his wife from New York
wished to see him." When Augusta
clutch on his throat was released he ar
ranged for dinner. She consented to So
with him to Buffalo. They stopped al
the United States Hotel. After dinner
they had some wine and the doctor
went out to purchase two tickets for New
York. He didn't return. When she
realized she had been again duped Au

Horace letters to her had been taker

MYSTERIOUS MALADY.
The Dreadful Plague Which
Scourged Kentucky.
A Dashing Man With Matri-
monial Weaknesses.
A Rich Find Made by Two
Lucky Diggers.
Plague Horrors.

LOUISVILLE, November 29.-Arthur
II. LOOMS, travelling representative of a
New York firm, arrived in this city to-
day, having Just. returned from a trip
through the plague-stricken district of
Eastern Kentucky. LOOMS said II was
four days in Martin county without dis
posing Of a single article. The people are
absolutely crazy, they have no use for
anything but collins. A great deal has
been printed in the newspapers about the
situation in Martin and adjoining counties,
but it has been but an imperfect reflex of
the existing deplorable condition. | know
of instances where whole families have
died within a week, where neighborhoods
have been swallowed up in the grave,
where one man has survived to bury his
family and his friends. and then been
found dead with no living creature near
him except in some cases a faithful dog.
Flocks of sheep and droves of cattle that
used to browse on the hillsides and along
the range of the Cumberlands, now lay
dead and rotting. White pebbles glisten
in the bottom of the creek beds, wells and
cisterns have been drained to the bottom
and springs are no longer to be relied upon
for a supply Of water. The ground was
literally parched, and where vegetation
formerly bloomed luxuriantly there is
nothing but decay. Thousands are said
to have died within the past two weeks.
What, in the opinion of the natives,
is the cause Of this fatal calamity2'
ut is very evident that the chief agent
of death is starvation. People in those
districts are almost without communion
ton with the outside world. An occa-
sional drummer, like myself, strays among
them once a year, and a few of the most
prosperous visit some large cities one in
a lifetime. A good season brings with it
bountiful crops. Wool and other native
products are rudely manufactured in,o
clothing. but when the crops fail them
the order of things is reversed. l am
speaking now of the backwoods neighbor-
hoods, where the plague has ragged with
the greatest fatality. I learned while in
Martin county that the crop yield for two
successive seasons had been a failure.
The natives were without money and
without means to purchase bread. The
shutting off of the water supply has
brought to the surface 4 poisonous liquid.
Famished for water the people drank and
the consequence was death. The first
symptoms are violent gripings and after
this a raging headache. A hot fever en- :
sue and the patient usually fingers two
days, suffering mental agony before death.
1 understand that several physicians have
been commissioned by the State to make
a careful analysis of the water and de-
scribe its poisonous ingredients. Relief
recently has been dispatched to Martin
from the neighboring counties. Before L
left there was a light rainfall, with pros
poets of continued falling. The opinion
prevails that the plague has passed
through its most dangerous stages and is
now on the wane. During the last two
days of my stay | heard of very few

quiet. The Superintendent of the Mill
tary Academy at West Point reports an
improvement in the tone and discipline Of
the corps, and the Secretary recommends
a rigid enforcement Of the statute which
prohibits the return to the academy Of
any cadet found deficient in his studies or
conduct except upon the recommendation
of the academic board.
The Secretary recommends that thirty
five years of honorable and faithful service
in the army entitle enlisted men to be
placed on the retired list and that the
term of enlistment be reduced from five to
three years as a means of reducing deser-
tons Of men who become disconnected by
reason of inaptitude for the service and a
contemplation of the length ofthe present
contract of enlistment.
