LONG ISLAND CITY, Aug. 23.-Coroner
Robinson, of this city, received by mail
this morning a sworn statement and re-
quest from Miss Dora Buck, sister of
Private Henry, otherwise Henry Buck,
a membe1 On the Greedy Arctic EXpedi-
tion, who was shot for the alleged theft of
provisions by order of Lieut.. Greely, and
whose flesh is said to have been eaten by
his starving comrades, document which
is duly certified and sealed by A. f. Par
sons, Notary Public, and signed Dora
Buck. 1t reads as follows:
State Of Nebraska, Lancaster countV.-Miss
Dora Buck being by me duly sworn upon her
oath deposes and says that she is a sister of
the deceased member of the Greedy party OF
the Arctic explorers spoken OF in public print
as s'Private Henry" who is reported to have
been slain by his comrades and the flesh from
his body eaten by them. The afiant further
says that 1t is her wish that the remains of
her said brother be disinterred, and an autOp
sy be made, and full and complete lnvestl-
CATION be made in regard to the manner and
cause of his death, and the disposition of his
body.
TSigned DORA BUCK,
Subscribed in my presence and sworn to

A. f. PARSONS. Notary Public.
Coroner Robinson SAYS that he win ap-
ply to Col. Perry, at Governors Island, on
Monday for permission of the United
States military authorities to eXhume the
body which lies in the government portion
of Cypress Hill Cemetery, and as he does
not anticipate objection on their part he
will probably take up the body and hold
an autopsy Tuesday or Wednesday. The
Coroner holds that he has a right under
the State laws to disinter any body in his
jurisdiction without the consent of the
authorities, but prefers to conduct the in
vestigatiOn in such way as to be salts
factory to all concerned.
THE RELIEF FLEET.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Before the
Thetis and Bear, the Greedy relief steam
ers, are put out of commission and sold,
in accordance with the act of Congress
providing for their purchase, Congress
will be asked by the Navy Department to
authorize their detention in the service as
survey vessels. The Treasury officials
would also like one of the vessels, to be
transferred to the Revenue Marine, to be
used in cruising off the coast of Alaska.
Commander FillebrOwne, of the New York
Navy Yard, has been given discretionary
power to grant leave of absence to the
officers of the Greedy relief vessels who
may wish to visit their homes.

Dudley to Go to Indiana .

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-It is under
stood that Commissioner of Pensions
Dudley has rendered his resignation to
take charge of the Republican campaign
in Indiana. He has been pressed to do
so for some time by the hard-pressed Re-
publican managers. Mr.. Dudley, it is
well understood, is the most capable
campaign manager among the Indiana
Republicans. His organization had more
to do with their success in 1880 than Dor
sey's crisp twO-dollar bills. In case o
Republican success this fall Dudley will,
of course, be provided for. 1t is under
stood that Gen. James A. Beaver, Of
Pennsylvania, is to be Dudley's sue

HoUNDING THE CLERKS.

More Circulars Delivered BY the Cam
paign Committee.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The National
Republican Committee evidently regards
the clerks in the executive departments
here as legitimate objects for every beg
ging project which it may adopt. 1t
seems to be insatiate. To-day another
circular was added to the hungry appeals
which every clerk has received from this
committee. This time the circular was
addressed to the clerk at his desk in the
department in which he happened to be
employed, and so delivered. 1t does not
seem to come within the letter of the law
forbidding political assessments, but it
certainly violates it's spirit. The circular
is printed on the official letter paper of the
committee, and was thus:
A proposition has been made 70 our commit
tee by +. A. Murray, a successful and reliable
publisher of this city, to start an illustrated
paper TO aid IN the campaign, provided he can
receive the necessary assurance OF its support.
We believe that such paper would be an i'm
pOrtant factor in the canvass, and would be OF
great help to us. Mr.. Murray guarantees that
it shall be fully equal to the best illustrated
paper now published in this country.
He proposes to give each sub
scriber the paper during the campaign
for 81, commencing the last of August. We
should be glad to see the paper started, as we
would then be ably equipped in this line, and
we recommend the adoption of his plan of
subscription to all those who are equally in
terested with us in the success of our cam
palgn. The nature of the reply to this circu-
lar viii determine whether or not the paper
can be started. b. +. JONES, Chairman.

jealousy Prompts Farmer to Fire
Three Blu let's Into Man.
MONTPELIER, Aug. 23.-One of the
most deliberate murders ever committed
in this State occurred here this forenoon.
Clark W. Sanders, farmer, aged about
35 or 40 years, residing in East Montpe-
lier, came into town this morning, went
to the gun shop of Blanchard Bros, pur-
chased revolver, put three cartridges
into it and proceeded to the store Of Danl.
Carr. The latter was at his desk doing
business with two ladies, when Sanders
entered the store, drew the revolver and
fired three times, one bullet taking effect
inthe neck and the two other in the body.
Carr died in a few moments. Sanders
after the shooting put the revolver in his
pocket, walked out Of the store and up
the street. WOrkmen in an adjoining
marble shop, who heard the shooting, ran
out and captured him. The murderer
said: 81 shot him and l hope he is dead
as l intended to kill him. Get your officer
and do what you please with me-" On
the way to the Jail the prisoner said to
the officer that he intended to kill Carr and
put three balls in him but did not know
if he was dead. He asked the
officer to tell him if he had
killed Carr. Sanders said that he under
stood the penalty and expected to be
hanged. The cause of the shooting was
jealousy by Sanders of his wife. The muir
dered man is about go years old, and did
a provision and auction business in town.
He left no family, Sanders has one son
about two months old, whom he took
away from home yesterday and placed
with a brother.

of the General Assembly to-day passed
the bill re-enacting the old election laws
