n,rt,v Eaten by HIS Comrades in the
Greedy Expedition.

The condition Of the body of Lieuten-
ant Frederick F. Kislingbury, which
1ras pXhumed for examination, shows
that ALI its most fleshy parts had been
ont away with sharp instruments, and
thorp is no doubt that The starving sur
uivors of this young officer, all or some
IF them. ate the missing portions. Since
thp horrible discovery was made public,
~ hos been admitted that six bodies of
those members Of the expedition who
Jiod while in the Arctic regions, were
fins mutilated.
Frederick F. K~islingbury was an
Engljshman by birth, but came to
America at an early age, and was reared
at Rochester, n. Y. He enlisted in the
army of the United States in 1868. In
1854 he retired from active service, and
was made paymaster's clerk at Detroit,
Mich. By the influence of the late
Zachariah Chandler he WIS made q
first lieutenant in the regular army IN
1874. His first station in this capacity
was at Fort Concho, Tex, where he be-
came acquainted with Lieut.. Greedy.
He was transferred to Fort Standing
Rock. Oak, where he had charge OF the
ccouts engaged in service against the
Indians, in 1875. At the time Of the
Custer massacre he was with General
Reno. Subsequent to that tragedy he
captllred the Indian who killed Custer
in the fight. In 1880, while his regl-
ment was stationed at Fort Custer, kls-
lingbury's second wife died Of mountain
fever, Immediately after his return from
a scouting expedition. He had been
made acquainted with her danger when
$50 miles distant from the post at the
head of q scouting party, and lmmed
lately left for the station. This Mrs.
Kislingbury, who had been his wife
only six months, was the sister Of his
first wife, the mother Of his four chill
dren.
Kislingbury was offered a position IN
the G eeIy expedition in 1881, and &C
cepted it at once He was dead before
the 22d OF June, 1884, when the surviv-
ors of the expedition were found. His
body was recovered, brought home and
buried in Rochester, where it was ex-
amined and found in a mutilated con-
dition. Poor Kislingbury died at the
early age of .thirty-eight. He was an
able officer and good comrade. Until
the publication of the official report OF
the Greedy expedition it would be pre-,
mature to say more than that he and
Commander Greedy are reported to nave
been on bad terms, and that his superior
officer relieved him.of duty at an early
period of the time spent by the expedl'
ton at Fort Conger.

CHICAGO, special telegram, Augutst2 20.
The train Of important S~horthorns
referred to yesterday as having met an

a gentleman in Mississippi, who is a

Wall Street.

1t is common thing 10 say, when a
man fails in Wall street, that he has
done no harm to the country, as it is
merely shifting of fortunes in the
street. In the case of Henry Willard,
however, it has been very sad thing
for Portland, Oregon, that his colossal
fortune was suddenly dissipated
into thin air. No less than
~ 100000 of stock OF the
Oregon Transcontinental were owned in
Portland. The property was bought at
100 and is to-day quoted at 3. The great
hotel has stopped at the first story, with
500, 900 spent on IL. The two magnificent
steamers are nothing but an expense.
The costly doc ks are put to no present
use. The lngleside, in making these
statements, closes with the declara-
ton that crops are abundant and
that the farmers are in first-class condi-
ton. Had not that "little furry hap
pened at the lower end of New York
city, far-off community, which de-
served better of fate than does Wall street,
y MD to-day have been at the height
of sei hne and prosperity. Wall street
is truly the financial pulse of the
nation. Should it not be a crime on
the statute-books greater than IL
is now to strike at the very heart
of the country's welfare? No officer Of
a great corporation, no person holding
n fidnciary place of any kind, should be
permitted by law TO speculate or
"deal," or gamble--"gamble" is the true
word, there is no false meaning attach
ed TO its use. The safety of the ship is
in the hands of the engineer A certifi-
cate of character and ability is properly
demanded of him, for his mistakes are
crimes, the least results of which are the
calamities which fall upon his own
hoad

been with politicians all of his life, and
he has the most exemplary habits. He
never smokes and never swears. He is

New YORK, Aug. l7.-H. II. Hadley,
whom John j. Davenport charges with
having forged the Morey letter, by be-
ing interviewed, denied emphatically
having forged or written the Morey let
ter, and branded as lie, ,Davenport's as
sertion that he confessed forgery. He as
serted he never saw or heard of the let
ter until published in public print. He
admitted having investigated the dues-
ton and its authorship at the request of
tho Democratic National committee, but
asserts that nothing ever came to his
knowledge duplicating any member of
the committee in the affair.
At the request of prominent Demo-
Gratis he offered reward of
$500 in 1881, for the discovery of the au-
thor of the letter, aud made memoran-
dunn of the entire affair, which he gave
to an intimate friend to publish in case
of death, If he thought necessary. He
would now consult with his friends, and
If considered best would publish his con-
clusions, which he says are sustained by
unquestionable documentary evidence,

nection with the matter, and in conclu-
sion, said, in due time shall speak for

He does not believe he is secreted either

gives II as his opinion that the whole
matter will be settled in few days.

Seoession-RellgiouA.

Waco, Aug. l7.-[Special. The seces,

discovery that an amendatory act

its the reduction of the incorporate Limits
OF any town or city by reason OF seces.
sion Of any portion thereof to an area oil
less than one mile square, counting
ftom the original center of such

will leave the best business portion
Of East Waco in the prescribed area, and

kills the measure.
A movement was developed to-day fol-
the establishment OF n Congregational

his heretical views.
