his lifetime endeavorru to 50 conduc.
himself as t. deserve the esteem of
all good men, and this is the first
time lie has ever been in trouble, SO
that his good rame could be aspersed.
A year ago last July, Nand>ke &
F,odsham BOUGHT out the stock in
this city Of S S. ll;yginbotham 4 Co.,
giving in part payment note for
about ~, 900, with the distinct under
standing that the new firm would not
be pressed to pay as long as they paid
interest on the note. Tins note
changed han Is, an payment was de
manded. Although reduced to $,ol'
Vandyke & f'rodsham were not IRE
pared to pay ust at the time. Fear
lag an alta ;hment, and wishing to Sc
cure all their creditors, Nandvke &
Frudsham made full ass gnment,
without any preferred creditors. and
they expect to be able to pay dollar

So that the on y parties injured by
the assignment will be the assignors
/, Vaudyke & Frod ,ham.
Referring to the insurance money
which the firm is stated to have re-
ceived, Mr.. Frodsham says they were
insured for $4,000, but onl v received
81, 400 in full settlement Of their pc!
icies, as they saved considerable
portion Of their stock. Out of tina
i, l,4oO, they paid about $50 for adj
justing expenses, thus leaving then
about $3.50.

The CEuR nALENE SUSPECTS.
One Is In Jail Here, but the Other Is
Still 1T Large.

Wilson, the man arrested yesterday |
morning for stealing horse in Crur
UAIene, Is still in Jail, awaiting de- |
velopmen,s in the case. He does not
seem inclined to talk much on the |
tject, but in answer to questions
from II TIMES reporter, vouchsnfed the
information, of course, that while he
was Il partner Of the man Black, he
was not interested in the stolen horse
that was sold Yesterday morning, AMI
that he had nothing to do with the dis
posing of the animal aud received
none Of the money. At the same time
he claims that the property was pur-
chased from Jack Enri aht, who, he
we'll knows, is on his way to Montana,
instead OF this city, as was announced
by these same parties but a few days
since.
Sheriff Furey has the horse that was
lstolen from Mr.. Hawkins, the CGur
d'Alene banker, in his possession, and
willie there is as vet no evidence that
the remaining two were not stolen.
circumstances seem to point strongly
to the fact that they were, and he will
hold them also few days, to try and
get information of their whereabouts
to their owners, in case they also
should have followed of the Messrs.
Wilson and Black.
Wiley Fox and John Alcott, resi-
dents Of Idaho Basin, the prospectors
who bough, the horse yesterday NOM
ing, have been diligently securing the
a, country ever since IN search Of thu
- festive Black, and together wiz Sher
, i'll Furey have sent messages to all
the camps in the surrounding country
:, and it seems impossible that the cul

-, has light hair, heavy sandy mustache
9 light eyes, and his blonde complexion
is rather sunburnt; has about ten days

also has Il scar on the Jeff side of hi
face, that .xten Is from near the tol
of the ear low down on the chin. Hi

the same time Black, AS he calls him
self, is said to be the vcriest scoun
y. drel in the country, and "a hard cas-
-. generally. He has been identitie
.. with several disrcputable transaction
. before, and while he can wear plea!
ant smile for the purpose of driving

A SAD BEREAVEMENT.
How the Sad News was Received nj the
Residence OF I>ador Morris-The Lat.
ter St.il Weeping ut the Mere Mention
Of Arvnl's Name.

Isador Morris is still overwhelmed !
with kilograms and letters of condo
ltnce from all parts of the country,
over the uutin-ly takiny-otI of his
cousin and partner, Aron. These
marks Of sympathy, from far and wide,
while they do not console Mr.. Morris
for his great loss, enable him to bear
it with fortitude.
TO Mr.. Morris and his family Aron
was much more than cousin and
partner. Having been raised with
item he was like brother and son,
and they ma -ched his upward course
through life with all tie atfcctionate
pride which it is possible to lavish
" on Il human being. His sudden
deplorable end was therefore great
shock to them, and even now Mr..
M,rrs cannot speak, Of ''his boy" or
hear Aron spoken OF without his face
being hathed in tears. The sight Of
this stout, strong busnei IS man weep
ing like child is really heartrend
ing.
A letter from Salt Lake states that
the news struck Mrs. lsador Morris
and her family like a thunderbolt.
Mrs. Morris was so overcome that she
almost tainted, aud for full minute
was unable to speak. Her oldest
daughter-a blooming young lady of
l6-who for years thought Aron was
her big brother, ard still spoke of him
almost daily, retired to a corner and
almost fell in MYSTERIES. As this con.
tinued they had to take her out te
Bing cham Canyon for trip.
As bad luck would have it, the cop,
Of the TINES containing the accom-
of the canary b.rd that flew into t!i
Office few hours before Aron'
death, reached Salt Lake about tn
, time that the relatives and friends O
i, the deceased were getting over thci
first outburst of sorrow. Apet canar
"a favoritc Of Aron 's--also died i
Isador Morrls's family residence as tn
! dispatch announcing the speedy arr

as follows

None of the nominees are pledged.
That is to say none Of them have de.
clared themselves, but the first is sup
posed to be in favor of Messrs. t'o>,
Parsons and Cramer, and entirely do
ceptabie to Mnssrs Morrill, and Breur-
lev; while the second is supposed to
he favorable to Messrs. Lennon,
Rupert, Mckibbin and Richards,
with the same names favorable to Mr..
Morrill, as are on the other ticket.
The best of good nature was exhibit
ed, all parties being anxious to avoid
any clashing that might cndanger the
success Of the ticket to be put in the
field.
Voting was quite brisk at first, aud
bv 3 o'clock lO5 votes had been
polled. But lull came. and
from that time on voting was
slower. At 5 O'Clock 225 votes had
been cast, and it looked as if the total
vote would reach $50 by tho close OF
the polls.
1t is impossible to forecast the re-
suit.

THE MISSISSIPPI INvEsTIGA ALTON.
The Penalty Of Throwing a Republican
IS a Ballot.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 81.

NEW ORLEANS, req. Zl-
At the Copiah county investigation today
G. M. Barstowe, independent. election in
spector, described the murder of Matthews
at the polls. Matthews rendered his ballot,
and while the witness was looking for his
name on the list, he was shot. Witness look
ed up and saw Wheeler apparently reloading
gun.
Napoleon Demar, (colored) testified to
having been visited BY armed men before
election. They threw a rope over his neck
and made him kneel down and swear he would
vote the democratic ticket. He did vote it.
William Robertson, coroner at Hazelhurst
when Matthews was killed, testified that
Wheeler had told him he had done the kill
ing.
L. f. Birdsong testified regarding the
efforts made to allay the excitement among
the armed men before they passed resolu-
ton advising Matthews. Matthews if oppos-
ed in politics was violent. Witness thought
the success of the independents would have
been a great calamity in Copish county, re-
sulting in bankruptcy. He could not say
whether the success of the independents
would have been a greater calamity than the
outrages.
II. A. Earne, foreman of the grand jury at
Hazlehurst before election, testified that
of the IL members were independents or
rebels. The shooting of Burnett; killing of
Wallace, whipping of Former and the burn
ing of Crump's house were before them, but
no true bills we're found in any of the cases
for want of testimony fixing the guilt on any

The House went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Bland of Missouri in the chair, on
the military academy bill.
In speaking of the formal amendment, Mr..
Belford inveighed against the mode in which
admissions to the academy are made. As
matters stood at presen., the right Of a men,
Der of Congress to nominate a candidate for
admission was barren right.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Mcmillan
of Tennessee, providing that a student found
guilty of "hazing' be expelled and be ineli-
gible for reappsintment, was ruled out on a
point of order.
MIR. Warren of Ohio offered an amendment
limiting the number of cadets to 200; re-
jected.
Mr.. Belford of Colorado moved to strike
out the paragraph providing for the longevity
of the pay OF professors, and made charac-
istic speech in denunciation of them lest.

ing the appropriation for the expenses of the

of the United States may become apprised
of the generous contribution made by Her
Brittainic Majesty's government towards the

tic exploring party, by presenting to the
United States the arctic steamship Alert.
(Signed) CHESTER A. ARTHUR
When the reading of the message was fin
ished, Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania called
for the reading of the report IN full. The
offer was so generous, coming from friendly
power, that it ought to be treated with respect.
The report of the secretary of state was then
read and was several times applauded.
Mr.. Randall asked the unanimous consent
that the COMMUNICATION be spread upon the
journal of the House ~ . mark of the senti-
ment OF the House. He further asked that

ON GOOD BEHAVIOR.
The Effect of the Proposed Consolidation
on the Lowell.
Bosros, Feb. 81.

boston, FED. IL
The Traveller says: An interview with
officers of the Lowell railroad. disclosed the
fact that there is no opposition on their part
to the proposed union Of the interests of the
Northern and Concord, n. H., railroads, but
that their position is rather one of encourage
ment to the proposed scheme than otherwise
1t believes that the Concord railroad, after
assuming fixed obligations TO the extent it
will have to, to obtain csntrol of the Northern,
it will be under obligations to maintain peace
and harmony. Especially as with the Wind
sor and Forest Line railroad charters availa-
BILE, the Lowell road can render the property
comparatively worthless. In other words.
the Boston & Lowell management regard the
leasing of the Northern BY the Concord -
putting the latter road under bonds in good
behavior.

The National Gazette opposes the com
ments of the North German Gazette, upon
the Lasker incident. 1t says; "That the
courtesy of the foreign legislative body
could be regarded as an act of interfer-
ence and be likely to provoke i'll feeling
could be the opinion only Of people who can
not hear a word of praise added 10 the poll
teal adversary" Further regarding the as
sertion of the North German Gazette. con.
cerning the ignorance of diplomatic ussges
displayed by minister Sargent in his note to
Prince Bismarck, transmitting the Lasker
resolution the National Gazette says
There is no doubt some assertion would have
been made if the resolution of the House of
Representatives had been sent by minister
Sargent direct to the President of Rechstag.
We do not feel inclined to take Sargepts
part, but it is to be regretted that i'll ment
personal i'll feeling should be apparent
in the treatment of this question.
