PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November ga
correspondent found at Lewes, Del, yes
terday Marshall Bertrand, the young pi-
lot, who was the chief sufferer, still sur
viving the sixty hours exposure and the
cannibalism In the skif OF the pilot boat
OF the Turley's crew, which was lost on
Monday last. His memory Is hardly
equal TO continuous and connected mar
rative Of all the incidents. Semi-para-
lyzed with cold and the cravings OF an
empty stomach, he was frequently in that
condition OF stupor which precedes a
death by famine or freezing, or by both
combined. In effect he spoke as follows;
Early on Saturday morning we left the
pilot boat Turley rowing for one OF the
American line steamers. We put Pilot Mar
shall on the steamer, and then started TO
row back. II was dark morning with
high sea and regular northwest gale.
The gale drifted us further out TO sea.
When daylight broke we could see the
Turley cruising about for US, but the white
caps ran SO high she couldn't see our
boat. We had had nothing TO eat since
supper Sunday night and both Swanson
and Hanson were famished. The thole
pins broke early in the morning, and we
had TO split up our steering paddle TO
make new one. Later | lost the new
paddle that had fixed to steer with, and
then | broke an oar, and our boat
was in danger OF swamping.
About three O'Clock on Tuesday
afternoon, when thirty-6ve miles
off Cape Hennepin, and still drifting out,
We made out q square-rigged vessel across
our bows, and we hailed her. The cap
tain and crew were on deck. stood up
as she passed US and shouted: "Cap-
tain, in the name Of God, throw US me
bread or give me line" had the
painter ready TO throw it, but the captain
Just waved his hand and took no further
notice OF us. said "By -, hope
you'll sink before sunset" and II there's
anything In cursing, he will have bad
luck I'd have shot him II had had
gun.
We had been twenty-six hours without
food or water. Swanson went crazy. He
and Hanson were scared nearly to death
all the time, and before Swanson drank

Most people remember Aunt Lucy"
Gardner, who has resided in Cheyenne for
the greater part of the time ever since
Cheyenne had a history. She at one time
had some prospects of becoming quite well
situated OF account of the increased valu-
alton of some property which she owned
in the city, but through some process of
litigation she lost her rights, and for the
many years she has resided here she has
supported herself by the hardest kind of
labor. Two or three wears ago, Aunt
Lucy" was taken sick and has never fully
recovered from her affiiction. Last sum-
mer she babe adieu to Cheyenne and de-
parted for Missouri, stating at the time
that she should never return here. On
Tuesday, however, the old lady returned
to this city, and says that she shall spend
the remainder of her days in Cheyenne.

Novelty and beauty of design is now
the rule in regard to almost every article
intended either for mere ornament or for
practical use.
A visit Of inspection to the china
store OF the Warren Mercantile Co., on
Sixteenth street will convince you that
the rule is a good one. An invoice OF
the celebrated "hobnailed' glassware has
just been opened there the sight of which
is enough to throw into ecstacies of de
light the lover of the beautiful and sub
%stantial in table and buffet ware.
The invoice embraces large and small
fruit bowls, pickle dishes, deaanters, wine
glasses, caraffes, tankard jugs, ice cream
dishes and trays, salts and peppers, I'm
ger bowls, ice tubs, claret jugs, tum-
blers, etc, etc, and all Of the most novel
and beautiful designs imaginable. Al
though the goods have been opened but
a very short time, a number of them
have found their way into private hands,
and those desiring to inspect the ware
will do well to visit the store at an early
day.

What Judge Carey thinks of Poii'i"H'
n Financial. Prospects. kzxEN

Judge j. NJ. Carey, who has been alb.
sent in the East for some weeks, arrived
home yesterday looking well and hearty.
The Judge was at the Chicago conven-
ton, not as delegate, but as a member of
the National Republican Central Com
mittee and after the. convention was over,
went further East. A LEADER reporter
asked the Judge if he could give any in
formation regarding the Federal appoint
ments in Wyoming. No" he said, 81
cant do that, and L don't see how it can
be supposed that 1 would know very
much about the Federal appointments
for have seen no one who actually knew
anything about it since [ have been Fast.
L have not been near Washington during
my absence" Referring to the nominal
ton of Blaine, Judge Carey said that the
Republicans where he had been since the
nomination felt well suited and enthusi-
astlc. So far as he was individually con-
cerned, 1t certainly pleased him well and
he had heard scarcely a man who did not
believe and talk in this way. In speaking
OF the financial prospects East, Judge
Carey said it was not feared
nor anticipated in the east that the
present unsettled condition Of Affairs
would lead to a crisis or a panic.

Mr.. James Ellison, the drover king Of
Texas, who has been for so many years
engaged in selling and delivering Texas
cattle to the stock men of this region of
country, arrived in Cheyenne on Monday
and will establish his headquarters in
Cheyenne for the present. He lately
made a sale to the Ogalalla Cattle Com
pany Of $4,000 head of Texas cattle
which are now on the trail somewhere
this side of Texas and pointing toward
Ogalalla, which place it is expected
they will reach before long. This is the
biggest sale of cattle in one transaction
with one exception, hat has ever oc-
CURED in the Far West. Mr.. Ellison
has also sold a large number of cattle be-
sides this to various stock men Of Nebras-
ka and Wyoming.

THE BOY HEARD FROM
Who Is Mixing the Trip from England
To California.

MIR. John Glitch, the Eddy street
restaurant man, yesterday re, e;vcd a
postal card from a fifteen year old b y
named Thomas Manchester, who was in
this city last Sunday. The card merely
conveyed the information that he had
arrived safely at Rawl'ns and was in good
spirits. The lad in question arrived in
this city last Sunday morning, and the
first place he droprel into was FL h.
restaurant. He asked for something to
eat, and was given his breakfast. Will,
eating it he told Mr.. Fitch his story. The
boy is about fifteen years old and was left
an orphan in England less than a yea
ago. His uncle is a well-to-dO resident Of
Oakland, Cal, and upon learning of tn,
boys condition this gentleman immcd-
lately wrote him to come out to this
country. After arriving in New York h.,
had little money left, but was met there
by a letter containing a check for a libera
amount of money. The lad foun it nee
essary to be identified before he coul
secure the amount, however, and. being
rather backward and modest, he failed to
make the necessary exertions to do SO.
He soon fell in with a party of boys WHIT
gave him instructions us to how to beat
his way on the trains, and five days after
leaving New York he succeeded in rea H.
ing Denver. By that time all the money
he had was gone, SO he walked from thar
city to this. His journey occupied four
days. Mr.. Fitch knew the boys uncle
by reputation, and, believing his story,
not only provided him with his breakfast.
but gave him a hamper of provisions and
something to drink with them, besides q
few dollars for contingencies. He also
gave him a postal card with instructions 10
drop him a line on the first favorable OPP
.portunity, and this was the card Mr..
Glitch received from the boy yesterday.
1t seems pretty safe to assert thai the lad
is smart enough to reach his destination

This account of a trial at Sheridan is
given us by an eye witness: Some time
since a party at Sheridan got into a rum
pus and left the town. Becoming tired
of his self-enforced exile, he came back
to town and gave himself up to Dick
Reed. Reed collected the witnesses and
sent to the Justices, when it was found
impossible to cross Goose Greek. The
attention of the justice was attracted and
he repaired to the bank of the creek and
proceeded to hear the complaint. The
defendant yelled across the raging tor
rent that he was guilty, and the justice
yelled back that he would have to put up
s. and trimmings. The fine was paid to
the constable and the prisoner discharged.

As heretofore stated in THE LEADER
the Fourteenth Infantry which for SOL. e
years has been widely scattered, is now on
the way to the Pacific coast, where it will
be distributed as the needs of the service
demand. -Four companies of the Four
teenth under Captain McDougall and
direct from the Uncomphagre Canton
ment' passed through this city Tuesday
evening en-route to the west, and last
evening five companies more of the same
went westward also. -Four of these COM
panies which were commanded by Capt.
Brown have been stationed at Sidney,
Neb., while the fifth, Capt. Carpenter,
has been stationed for a number of
months at Fort Russell. The ranks of
these companies are much depleted, and
the five that went westward last evening
could not probably muster in all more
than two hundred men.

NOT
The Recalcitrani Lover Iia, Disappe lred
c4Om IiIs Accustomed Haunt

The young man, +. H. Muylle, who, as
T lated in yesterday mornings LEADER,
I led TO put in an appearance the day be-
1 re when it was expected that he was TO
be married to the young lady referred to
at that time, did not make his appearance
yesterday so as to be observed publicly,
at all events, he was not seen by quite a
number of different parties who thought
they might get a glance at him. The
chances are that he has left Cheyenne,
although no one is interested in the mat
ter sufficiently to ascertain, for a certainty,
whether he has or not. If he is still in
the city it would seem that he takes espec-
ial pains to keep himself out of sight, and
yet why he should deem it necessary to do
so, is hard to discover. He has done
nothing to call for his apprehension and
confinement, and no one has entertained
the idea OF instituting any kind of legal
proceedings against him. In regard 10
the lady whom he was intending to marry
it is said that she has come to a some
what different conclusion regarding her
intended husband, than she formerly en-
tcrtaincd. since she has learned something
more regarding him. 1t is presumed that
she would not be particularly edited at
his temperance at this time. 1t is said
that she is to resume her music teaching,
and that the members of her former class
are DESTROYS of again placing themselves
un Ter her excellent and efficient training,

who induced the thousands of unfortunate
men to go to the C1ur d'Alenes, that are

LETTER FROM CHESTER.
Cheyenne Attorney Writes to the
President About the J~uageship.

About two weeks ago a prominent
attorney of Cheyenne wrote a letter to
President Arthur describing the situation
of affairs in this Judicial District, setting
forth the fact that business was accumulate
ingwhich ought to be attended to, and that
there was a state of uncertainty in the
minds of the people here as to when there
would be a term of court again. The fact
was also mentioned that the Jail is filed
with prisoners to Overlooking, and, further.
more, that this state of affairs was putting
this county to many thousands of dollars
OF expense that could well be avoided were
a judge appointed. Mr.. Arthur was
probably not profoundly clated over the
contents of the letter, and it is possible he
may have concluded that at this time at
least he is "A bigger manthan Old Grant"
1t Is certain that he did not conclude
to impart any very startling information
as to what he proposed to do in regard to
the appointment of a Chief Justice for
Wyoming, as will be seen by the follow
ing reply which came yesterday:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, d. c.,
June 20. 1884.
SIR-The President directs me to in
form you that your letter in reference to
the Chief Justiceship of Wyoming has
been received and referred to the Attor-
ney General for his information. Very
respectfully, S. T. PARKER,
Assistant Private Secretary.
To -, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
1t would appear, therefore, that Mr..
Arthur wants Mr.. Brewster posted up a
little in regard to the situation out here.
IHE LEADER reporter promised not to
mention-th name of the attorney who
got this important piece of information
and he is not going to do it. Lest some
might suspect differently, it may be
stated right here hat it wasn't Mr.. Don
zelman.
