WASHINGTON, August l5.--The records
and relics OF the Greely Arctic expedition
which were brought to New York and there
turned over TO the authorities at Governor S
Island were brought here to-day and delIv-
cred to the chief signal officer They will
be used by Lieut.. Greedy in making his re-
port OF the expedition and by the
chief signal officer in making his
report the Secretary Of War. The
collection includes all the records, scientific
works and discoveries Of the Greedy party,
their instructions and the private papers
and diaries of the members. When the
expedition was fitted out every member was
supplied with blank books in which to keep
their personal records of events during their
stay in the Arctic regions. II was the under
standing that these records were their own
personal property and not subject to the
supervision of Lieutenant Greely or any
one else. Seventeen of them have been pre-
served. Their contents will be considered
confidential between the government and
the writers, and while portions Of them will
be used in making up the history Of the ex-
petition, nothing they contain wiz be made
public until Lieut.. Greely's report Of the
expedition is completed. Gen. HAzen says
it may be year before Greely ; report is

Brutal Case of willful Murder In q yieious
Prize Fight - Deliberately killing His
Antagonist.
0LEAS, August lj.-Some time ago
James McGregor, an oil and salt well tool
dresser Of this place, went TO Wyoming
county to work at his trade in the new sal
region. Some difficulty recently arose be-
tween him and Richard 0'Neill, another salt
well employe On Saturday the two met.
Each was under the influence Of liquor.
Accompanied by FIVE others, they went TO
the barn of the United States Hotel, in the
village OF Washington, to settle their differ,
ences by prize fight, After two rounds
had been fought McGregor said he was sat
isfed and offered to shake hands with
ONeill The latter took the profered hand
of his opponent, and holding it tight in his,
tripped McGregor, who fell heavily on the
floor on his face. O'Neill seized Mctiregor
bv the hair, and, lifting his head repeatedly
iammed it with all his might down on the
floor, until McGregor became unconscious.
O'Neill without any interference from the
spectators, then heat and kicked McGregor
for some time, after which he took bucket
and filed it with water at a neighboring Z
pump, and, returning to the harm. sponged
The blood from McGregor's face and drcnch'
ed him with water until he regained con-
sciousness.
As soon as McGrgor came TO, o Neil
pounded him senseless again, and with the
Others Quilted the barn, leaving McGregor
senseless on the floor No attention was
paid TO the man until Sunday morning
when a physician WAS called, who found
him still unconscious on the barn floor.
Word was received here last night that he
never regained his senses, and died on Mon
day. At last accounts no arrests had been

CINCINNATI, August IA most alarm
ing FIRE occurred this afternoon in the east
ern portion of the city known as Fulton,
where the houses occupy a narrow strip OF
ground between the river and the hill.
Eastern avenue is the only thoroug ghfare
leading through this part Of the city, and
on it are the street car lines.
The tracks of the Little Miami
railroad also run along side Eastern ave
nue. and cross it not far from the scene OF
the FIRE. 1t begun in the saw mill of Hin
ton K Cole, on the bank Of the river near
the boiler. This exploded and sent burning
fire brands in every direction. Extreme
dry weather had made everything exceed
ingly combustible, and in few min
utes almost the entire square covered
BY the lumber was abaze. The fire soon
reached the nea cattle sheds Of the Little
Miami railroad and they were consumed
The small dwellings in the vicinity soon fell
q prey to the flames aud the occupants es-
capped with difficulty, carrying away only the
hghtest articles of furniture. Burning
buildings, telegraph and telephone poles fell
across the railroad, consuming the ties and
blocking the passage of all trsins to and
from the Little Miami depot. There was a
lack of water and the fremen worked at a
disadvantage. A number Of cases OF ex-
haustion from the heat are reported. Ru.
mors spread during the excitement Of chill
dren burned to death and of men killed by
the explosion of boiler These are not yet
verified. The loss of Hinton & Cole is
placed at $4,000 Others not yet esd-
mated.
By the severest effort the flames were got
under control BY 5 o'clock. Ten dwellings
were destroyed, mostly small frames, The
aggregate loss on them will not exceed
$4,000, with light insurance. Hinton 4
Coles is total, they having no insurance
The track of the Little Miami Railroad is
repaired and trains are running. Later in
vestigation fails to confirm the report Of the
loss of life. Four or FIVE fremen and po-
icemen received slight injuries or were
overcome by heat, but none were seriously
hurt

People Who Knew Both Blaine and His

ELIzAAErH, Pa, August l5-A reporter
visited this place today for the purpose Of
interviewing citizens here in reference to
the story published by the Indianapolis Sen
tinal to the effect that James G. Blaine Sc
duced his wife and was compelled to marry
her at the point ofa gun. A number OF
prominent persons who were acquainted
with Mr.. Blaine and his wife prior to their
marriage, Indignantly deny the story. DR..
John E. Shaffer emphatically says
the scandalous story is untrue.
He says the couple met in
Kentucky, were teachers at the Blue Lick
Seminary, and were married in Pittsburg
Mrs. Blaine's father was then in New Eng
land, and hence could not have demanded

him. The doctor was Mrs. Blaine's physi-

never gave any signs of having any chill

here, has removed to Helena, Montana
Territory, with her husband, Major B. c.
Walker, who is a paymaster in the army.

Gen. Hazen Discredits the story mat There
Was a fractional Struggle in the Greedy
Party as Reported in the Newspapers.
WASHINGTON August l5.-Chief Signal
Officer Hazen was found at the signal Office
this morning and again questioned about
the reports OF csnnibslism among the Greely
party. Gen. Hazen said that he had re-
ceiyed no communication at any time from
Lieutenant Greedy, official or otherwise YER
bal or in writing, in which reference was
made TO the subject OF cannibalism. If true,
Gen. Hazen regards it as terrible thing
Tor which the necessity was the excuse. 1t
was not a subject for military investigation,
and the survivors had not and probably would
not be called upon for statements on
the subject He does not accept the theory
that division occurred between factions
of the Greely party, and that the weakest
we're allowed to starve that the strongest
might survive. He believes the party was
well disciplined and was harmonious up to
he time Of Henry's thef:s aud that the food
wss euuitaaly shared throughout. There
has been no application to the signal office
for investigation OF the reports Of csnnibal-
ism by the relatives Of victims. The oihce
has no official knowledge Of the subject.
General Hazen admits the force of the eyi-
dence of the autopsy over kislingburys re-
mains. Lieutenant Rhea. Of the Port Bar
row Arctic expedition, was to-day assigned
charge of all records and papers Of the
Greely party.

carry on operations in Madagascar. Later
in the day, howeyer the Government pub

ton was encouraging. "Infact," remarked
the Senator, II am delighted with the stu
alton. The best of feeling is prevailing
everywhere, and Cleveland and Hendricks
advance daily in popularity" In regard to
Buffers campaign Mr.. German said it gave
the committee no concern. Butler might
poll q considerable vote, but the question
was which party it would hurt. The result
Of his canvass was as likely to elect Cleye-
land as Blaine.
"Will not Butler draw the labor interest
to his sideT asked the reporter.
"He may and he may moi" replied Mr..
German. Butler attitude is an interest
ing subject for speculation. Suppose he
does get portion Of the labor vote What
elected Garfeld2 It was the labor vote
bulldozed BY employers during the last few
days of the campaign. So you see Butler
may help Cleveland by keeping that vote
from Blaine" Mr.. German denied the re-
port that he had had conference with
John Kelly. He said he would probably
call on the Tammany chief to-day. ,,,..

the following letter from John Kelly:
MY DEAR SIR: Yours. Of the I'd inst. at

j have read your letter carefully and noted
the points which you have made and the
questions you propounded, and which you
and those in the State in which you reside
are anxious should be answered. First.
that voted against Tilden and Hendricks
in 1876. This is untrue Myself and those
associated with me did our very best to elect
Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks, and what
occurred aherward could not be laid TO u.s.
The position of our party in the county and
State at present stands in this way: The
laboring class, on whom we relied mainly
for support, are now pronounced against
Gov. Cleveland, and il will be difficult for
us to convince them that their condition
would not be improved by the election Of
the opponent of this gentleman. We will
40 Wnat can De uOne lo COhNtuCe these peO
pie, and hope and expect to be compara-
lively successful Let me add that these
accusations that are made against myself
and the organization TO which belong have
originated with and are the emanations Of
the brains of those whose prejudices and dis
like of our organization are such that they
are at all times misrepresenting us, in order
to create false impressions in other parts Of
the country. Tsmmany Hall has been as
faithful to the Democratic party as the
needle to the north pole, although these
yilifeations which have taken place from
time to time have given, no doubt, differ
ent impression. | am yours very respect
fully. join KELLY.
