Victims of a College-The Subjects That
 Game to Dissect1ng Table.
 CINCINNATI, Feb. 24.-There seems to be no doubt that the murder of Beverly Taylor, his wife and grandchiId near Avondale was for the purpose of getting money from the demonstrator of anatomy at the Ohio Medical college for their murdered bodies. Their cabin was burned on Friday night, February ls, about Il o'clock. Allen In- gals, negro, and a noted body snatcher, assisted a day or two later in raking the ashes of the cabin in search for the bodies of the dead. Yesterday he made quasi confession, stating that he had assisted two unknown persons in taking three dead bodies from a fence corner near the victims' cabin to the medical college in Cincinnati.
 Yesterday he identified Ben Johnson as the mah who employed him to assist in removing Che bodies. This Ben Johnson confirms by pleading guilty at the preliminary trial, but up to this hour he has made no other con- fsssion. Allen Ingall pleaded not guilty, and

The Surrender of TOkar-Treaehery and
 COward1ce on the Part Of the OMcers-
 The Movements Against the Rebels.
 CAIRO, Feb. 24.-Later reports received at Suakim in regard to the surrender of Tokar show that the equalization was an act of cowardice on the part of the officers or that they had been bribed to favor a surrender It is known that the privates were bitterly opposed to the surrender and that all the officers favored it and overruled the objec- tions of the subordinates. After the surren- der Osman Digna gave number of presents to the officers, as was stated by him, as mark of respect for their bravery in holding ont so long; but the soldiers think they were given as part payment for the capitula- tion of Tokar and were insignia of cowardice instead of bravery. The rebels continue to treat their prisoners kindly and, it is said, are endeavoring to enlist them in their cause. With the exception of the bombardment, which was being constantly kept up and which did very little damage Tokar was secure, as majority of the rebels had been drawn away from the vicinity of Tokar and were being mRssed at Teb, where they were fortifying and awaiting the advance of Gen. eral Graham.
 The most recent advices from Suakim indicate great uncertainty in the movements of General Grahams forces at Trinkitat, which is due to the absence of instructions from the home government. General Stephenson, commander in chief of the English forces in Egypt, who is at Cairo, Admiral Hewett and General Graham find their operations hampered by Hewett holds the chief command at Suakim,
 General Graham that of the proposed
 relief expedition to Tokar. But neither the War Office nor the authorities of the Horse Guards have decided whether Admiral Hewett, General Graham or General Ste phenson directs the combined movements of the naval and military expedition. General Stephenson has taken the responsibility of suspending the order for the advance against the rebels under Osman Digna pending the decision of this question by the home gov ernment.
 General Gordon, having been requested to explain his proclamation permitting slave holding, states that the evacuation of the Soudan necessarily abrogates the treaty by which slaves were to be emancipated in 1889. He would consider forced emancipation without recompense to the owner as robbery. He points out the fact that he had never in- tsrfered with the holding of slaves. He once broke up slave hunting and will continue to prevent it. He regards the existing slaves as property.
 Osman Digna'is reported to be at Teb with large force and eager to fight.

Laid to Rest-The Last Rites Over the
 Jsannette Victims.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The Church of the Holy Trinity was crowded yesterday with people who had come to pay the last honors to the dead of the Jeannette expedition. The line of march was through Twenty-third street to Fifth avenue to East Forty-seeond street to the church. The caskets were borne up the aisles by eight marines and placed on heavily draped catafalques in front of the altar In the center was the casket of De- long covered with the American flag.

Commodore Upsur and his ushers, Lieutenant Wards and Gibson; Paymaster Lowell and Ensign Jungen were present, as were also number Mrs. Delong, her son and her father and mother and brothers and Messrs. Melville, Ninderman and Noros. The choir sang ''Domine Refugiam," and Pastor Wat kins read the 18th chapter of Corinthis ns. Then the hymn '"Thy will be Done" was sung by the choir. Bishop Potter preached the sermon. In concluding, he said New York has no prouder honor in all her records than that she be allowed to speak of her heroes who have died like these. Rest my brothers Out of your graves may bloom lilies and roses that will speak to human hearts every where because of the great heroic ashes they cover.

The Western Unions Methods.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The testimony given before the Senate Committee on Post offices in regard to telegraph matters becomes more interesting and important daily and deserves careful study. Some days ago MT. Robert Garrett testified that the American Union, with which he was connected when the company was absorbed by the Western Union, cost about $4,Oo0, 900. Yesterday MT. Van Horn, vice president of the Western Union, admitted that the American Union lines were acquired by the Western Union for $15, 1000, ,OOO. But in another part of his testimony he asserted that none of the com peting companies absorbed by the Western Union had ever paid expenses. That is to say, it is shown that the Western Union paid $15, 900, 900 for a competing line which cost only $4, 100000 and which, when Western Union absorbed it, was not paying expenses. It now remains for the committee to ascer- tain whether any persons interested in Vest ern Union were also owners of American Union and whether there was in fact what Is called deal.

A Star Route sensatiOn-Matters III
 Which Charges are Brought Against

Star Route SensatiOn-Matters In
 Which Charges are Brought Against
 Congressman.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-The recently pub lished chapter of Star route history bids fair to create lively scene in the House to- morrow. It appears that among the Star route papers sent to the House on Friday by the Postmaster General there was evidence reflectipg against John E. Ellis, of Louisiana It is said that when the evidence was fur nished the department Mir. Ellis was informed of the fact and at once brought satisfactory proof to show that the witness who gave the evidence perjured himself. In order to keep the records intact refutation was engrossed upon the sheets which contained the charges against the Louisiana member. If this is true and the matter published was taken from the records referred to the person making the compilation either carelessly or intentionally overlooked the proof that the evidence refecting upon Mir. Ellis was unfounded. The papers from which it is supposed published statement was taken were laid be- fore the House on last Thursday and at once placed on the clerks desk under lock and key. All efforts on the part Of representa- tives of the press to gain access to them were fruitless, except in the case of the person who furnished the statement published in 8 New York paper. Friends of MT. Ellis say that he will tomorrow make personal ex- planation in the House and follow it up with a resolution demanding an investigation of the whole affair.
 A. M. Gibson, formerly special attorney for the department of justice, engaged in preparing evidence for the prosecution in Star route cases, is out in card to day in which he refers to statements published in New York yesterday so far as they relate to him in connection with the Star route prose- cutions as "mendacious and malicious" MT. Gibson promises at the proper time and in his own way to make known "the true in wardness of the affair"
