go to Littleton Island, which should
be headquarters, and should not leave
there before that day. The Proteus
preceded the Yantic TO Disco Island.
The Yantic rejoined her and they were
together there from July IL to
July 10, az which latter date
the Proteus once more left the
tender which, after waiting until the
26th again, sailed northward instead
of proceeding directly in the track of
the Proteus. However, she diverged
to upper Navics; was detained there
by fog from July 81 to 81, when
she sailed, and was easily
able to reach Littleton, Aug. 8.
The Thetis found from the record
left, that the .Ioteus, on July 90, had
been
CRUSHED IN THE ICE,
and had sunk just north of Cape
Sabine; that Lieut. Darlington and his
whole party had crossed to Littleton
island, and on July 28th had gone
south along the Greenland coast, in
open boats. Tne Yantic, thereupon.

coast to Cape York and finding
no trace of the Proteus people:

who had left, at Cape York, the Pro-
teus party, to which he had been at
tached; and reached upDer Navick IN
an open boat, August %, and had the
same day, in similar boat given
up pursuit of the Yantic
The Yantic then returned to up
per Navick and found the whole party
had saved themselves; and having ar
rived, took them on board; reached st.
Johns September IL. With the ex-
ception that it left few ratIons and
some clothing at Cape Sabine, the ex-
pedition of 1883, as well as that of
1882, was failure. No attempt was
made by either Lieut.. Darlington or
WildeS, to establish re-
lief party at Littleton Island,
for which point Lieut.. Greely was un-
der orders to start not later than Sep
tember l.
An army court of inquiry, under
date of January Is, 1884, reported, it
may here be stated roughly, that from
July, 1882, to August, 1883, not
less than $4,000 rations were
taken in the steamersN eptune, Yantlc
and Proteus, up to and beyond Little
ton island. Of that number only
about 10000 were left in that vicinity.
The remainder were returned to the
United States or were sunk with the

THE BALLOT BOX.

MONTGOMERY. ALA, August A.
No opposition to the democrats on the
state tlcbet and very little of the
party characters in any county. In
consequence there was no excitement,
except where the candidates were
running in counties that made nomi-
nations, and these were many and
thus the local issues of the democrats
brought out fairly. The hottest fight
was in Mobile, between the demo-
cratic nominees and the independent
ticket, and in Birmingham, between
the democrats and combination of
republicans and greenbackers. These
two points were the battle grounds of
the state. Not half a dozen republi-
can legislative candidates were rum
ming in the state. The vote in this
city was about 1800-all democrats,
as there was no opposition.
REPORT FROM MOBILE.
MOBILE, Ala, August 4.-The state
and county elections in Alabama
passed off quietly, so far as yet report
ed. There being but one state ticket,
that headed by Governor O'Neal, the
result can be anticipated. In several
counties there were independent can
didates for county offices, who have
been defeated, except in Mobile, here
the independents obtained, by the hep
OF colored voters, a large majority over
the regular democracy.

MARsEILLEs, August Sit tran
spires that there were numerous eases
of cholera in the hospital here in 1883,
many of which were fatal. The fact,
however, was suppressed in order to
prevent alarm. The attendants were
sworn to secrecy.

Irving Tyceum.

A very pleasing program was followed at
the Lyceum meeting on Monday evening
and the many members and visitors ap-
peared to be much entertained. Miss Mollie
Burris recited very bright and amusing
selection, Miss Bessie Anderson and Miss
Addie Hazard read pleasing selections,
j. F. Deakyne read an original essay,
NJ. B. Burris gave very full, clear and
entertaining history and description of
the jetty system at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, and the Rev. Mr.. Alexander read
a part Of Joseph Cooks Grafton on the
late Wendell Phillips. Several questions
were answered in the usual interesting
way. Miss Lille and Miss Pet Naudain
entertained the audience with instru-
mental music. Next Monday evening
there will be recitations, readings, original
papers, answers to questions and music.
OF course, all who are interested in the
Lyceum's work will be welcome, be they
members or not. On Monday week the
March public meeting will be held, at
which the usual admission fee will be
charged. A very bright little comedy by
Howells, entitled "The Register, ? will be
read at the meeting by four persons, and
there will be other literary features Of an
entertaining sort and vocal and instru-
mental music. OF late the Lyceum meet
ings have been well attended and a
warmer interest seems to be felt in the
work than was shown durinp last sense.

The Pythian Bazaar.


The festival and bazar held by Damon
Lodge, knights of Pythias, Of Middle
town, closed on Saturday evening. Owing
to bad roads the attendance from the
country and neighboring villages was
light, but Middletown folks turned out in
goodly numbers each evening and took
many chances in the things that were thus
disposed OF, and patronized the refresh
ment tables we'll. The required number
of chances for the town lot, two sets of
| harness, a carriage, sleigh, sewing
machine and gun were not sold, 50 these
are not yet desposed Of. The harness,
gun and sewing machine will probably
be drawn for in a few days. Many
chances on each are sold. The town lot
is to go when 300 chances have been sold.
Jefferson Vanzant drew handsome suit
of chamber furniture, valued at Sl0O;
Edmund Jones held the number that
took buffalo robe, and very good robe
it is; w. Fl. johnson drew the handsome
carriage afghan, and will now have to buy
horse and carriage and go a-ishing in
some style; Mrs. Craddock got the
childs pretty coach afghan; Sewell Jones,
who is lucky in all things, drew pretty
pincushion and set Of toilet bottles; Miss
Mary Paullin drew another pretty toilet
set that great many wanted George Peter
son drew doll, which has already gone
no doubt, to make some little heart happy,
for nobody loves childred more than
George; Miss Myrtle Houston drew
pretty shell basket made in Old England;
Colonel Hanson drew a novel log cabin
which, though not big enough for two
to live in, is an attractive piece Of architec-
ture and it brought smile to the face Of
the receiver broader and more genial than
his common everyday smile. John T.
Hayes held the piece of cake that con-
tanned a handsome ring which just fit
Johns little finger, and Wallace Eliason
drew a cake made in the form OF
the knights lodge room. The two little
girls who solicited votes for beautiful
doll in bridal array secured 1854, and
little Mary Given got the doll. Her votes
amounted to $500. Four boys, Charlie
Craddock, Charlie Jones, Robbie john
son and Albert Suydam went into COM
petition for suit Of boys clothing, and
got total of about S55. Charles Craddock
got the greatest number of votes but all
did so well that the Knights decided to give
each of the four a suit of clothing. A
Knights jewel, for which J. w. Gary,
James johnson and G. R. Wilson werein
competition brought about S22. Mr.. Wilson
was the lucky candidate. A Past Chan
cellor's jewel, for which Garrett Ellis
L. B. Lee, Geo. S. Hopkins and E. E.
Marsh had a friendly contest, brought
S31.30, and Mr.. Ellis was the leading can
didate. The Knights have probably
cleared upwards of $3.50 by their bazar,
the success of which is in a very great |
measure due to the ladies for their apt
