Lord MeIgund interviewed.

Lord Melgund passed through st. Paul
last night ell route for Ottawa, bearing inn
pOrtant dispatches from Gen. Middleton to
the government. Coming down on the
train he received dispatch from Supt.
Egan of the Canadian Pacific notifying
him of the capture of Riel. He expressed
himself as highly gratified at the
result, regarding it as practically the
end of the half-breed rebellion. AS to his
mission East he was quite reticent to the
GLOBE reporter, and he found it necessary
to rudely repulse an mportu-
nate Tribune reporter at Minneap-
oils, who insisted on seeing his
private dispatches. He said he couldn't
comprehend the gall of the average Ameri-
can reporter. But to the gentlemanly So
licitatiOn of the GLOBE reporter he said he
regarded the surrender of Riel the practical
elimination of the half-breed rebellion.
While reticent on general principles, as
the bearer of important private dispatches,
he was drawn ont Oh several important
matters. As to Col. Irvine, he could not
comprehend why he had not come to Mid
dleton's support except on the theory that
he was impelled by the opportunities of the
people of Prince Albert to maintain his
forces there for the protection of the
women and children congregated there.
AS to Col. Otter. he regarded
him as gallant officer, but could not un-
derstand why he had raided the reservation
and driven Poundmaker to take the war
path, except that he could overcome him.
Poundmaker he now regarded as the most
serious menace to the peace of the Northwest
territories. The fact that he had captured
a train Of supplies would naturally
incite other Indians to make like raids
for the attainment of like ends.
He could not speak in too high commenda-
ton of the volunteers who had participated
under his own eye in the battle of Fish
Greek, especially the Winnipeggers, who
had borne the brunt of the battle in that
heated engagement. Men who could face
without flinching an unseen and deadly foe
were worthy of the plauditS due to heroes.
If Capts. Bledsoe and Howard,
in charge of the transports and the Gatling
gun respectively, he spoke quite enthusias-
tically and he gave each his due need of
praise for gallantry and reckless yet eau
tious daring. In personal appearance Lord
Melgund is blonde, with a close-knit
figure, full of stature, military mustache,
glittering gray eyes and a general martial
bearing

service for half dozen years. His latest
station was at Honduras He is at present
in Washington on leave of absence and
has succeeded in convincing Mr. Bayard
that he has always been Democrat. The
consul who has kept his mouth shut
upon political matters and has attended
to business has great advantage over the
federal officeholder at home. 1t is hard TO
make case of offensive partisanship STICK
against him. Horatio j. Sprague, the
American representative at Gibraltar can
show commission dated 1S4S. n. Stella
has remained at Syracuse, Italy, since 1851
without being disturbed, and Judah S. Lew
has looked after the interest OF this
country at Tetnan, in the Barbary states,
since 1852. These are exceptional cases.
A change of presidents without change
in politics has heretofore been considered
as offering an opportunity for pretty
thorough overhauling of the diplomatic
service. The state department register
shows that four-ffths of the ministers and
consuls in service when Nh. Cleveland
commenced turning them out bore COM
missions dating since the election OF Gar

A BEASTLY MOTHER.
Horrible Treatment Of a Little Child

AFGd VI d AACtke Cn11u
Special to the Globe.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., May 16.-In-
tense excitement still exists over the crime
of Mrs. Emma Hendricks, accused of beat
ing little Emma Belmont, her adopted
daughter. The discovery of the child's
condition was madein a most peculiar man-
ner. The complaint was made by Mrs. John
Day. who relates the following story: ''All
day Monday had dreadful headache and
1 had such queer feeling about something.
/ know Mrs. Hendricks only slightly, but
when the feeling took definite shape
something seemed to keep telling me
to 60 to see her. 1 didn't
go, but told some of my friends
about it, and asked their advice. They told
me to go to the house of Mrs. Hendricks on
Tuesday afternoon. l did so. When saw
Emma's bruised face l started back and al
most tainted, uttering a scream. Mrs.
Hendricks said, ''What is the matter.
You know 1 didn't do it." That
aroused my suspicious, but l prayed for a
few moments and then said that the child
had been chol1ed. Tell the lady the truth
about it, said Mrs. Hendricks to the girl.
And the little one, shivering from fright,
said: 4 did it myself That night 1
could hardly sleep, and finally L told my
husband about the matter and
he made complaint to the police,
who arrested her. l believe that
the Lord made me go to Mrs. Hendricks
house to rescue the girl from her perse-
cutor." The little victim has been stripped
and photographed. Her body is covered
with gashes and bruises, and her stomach
is inflamed through the injuries of most
cruel character. The child is getting bet
ter, though she screams with pain most of

FatalMining Accident.

PoTTsvILLE, Penn, May 16.-A large
body of water in the abandoned upper level
workings at North Ashland colliery to-day
broke through the weakened pillar below,
and washing out large quantity OF earth
and coal, killed James Ennis, contractor,
Martin McKerns and Charles Dougherty,
miners. Michael Head, driver,
and fatally injured John Head, sub-boss.
The colliery is owned by the Philadelphia q
Reading Coal & Iron company. The breaker
is in Columbia county, and the face of the
east gangway, where the cave-in occurred,
is in Schuylkill, half a mile across the
mountain from Cuyler colliery, where a
month ago ten men were entombed
in a similar way. The lower level
of the North Ashland colliery
was nearly worked out and the robbing of
pillars from the face of the gangway was
already under way. This brought down
the volume of water and debris from over
head The rush came with indescribable
suddenness. John Head heard a rumbling
noise, and jumping on the foremost mule,
which his son was driving, endeavored to
reach place Of safety. He had gone only
a few steps when he was struck and crushed.
His legs, arms and ribs were broken. The
rush of air and noise made by the fall
alarmed the men working nearer the foot
of the slope, and they reached places OF
safety. AS soon as it was evident that all
immediate danger was past an effort was
made to reach the bodies of the dead men,
but there is no hope of reaching the three
miners for several days, so extensive is the

The Villas Circular.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The confden-
tial circular issued by the postmaster gen.
eral as to the fourth class postoffices, made
public by the GLOBE, has caused no little
comment. The Mugwumps affect to see in
it a departure from their elevated ideas of
administrative reform, and this class now
think the postmaster general is bad man
and is not up to their goody good
standard. On the other hand Democrats
are pleased with it as far as it goes, but
they would be still more so if the whole
outfit could be bounced instead of between
Is and 25 per cent The duty of making
congressman sort of detective imposed
upon him by the circular is not altogether
relished. Still many think that any means
which will ''turn the rascals out" can be
justified. The fourth-class post
offices in the United States number
about $4,000, and the whole
number of presidential appointments is
less than 400. The fourth-class postmas-
ters receive not over 81, 900 per annum,
their salaries ranging from $5 to that limit.
Third-class offices pay between $1,000 and
SO, 900, of which there are 1850. The
second class between SO, 600 and So, 1000, of
which there are 40. The first class, So, 900
and upward, of which there are only 81.
1t will thus be seen that the great labor of
hunting down offensive partisans is to be
among the 49, 900 fourth-class incumbents.

Numbering a Chinaman

HELENA, Ark, May 16.-A story, as
told by some citizens of Friar's Point,
shows horrible state of affairs at that
place. The report is that about ten days
ago an old Chinaman was beaten severely
by two or three citizens and ordered to
leave town, which he started to do, going
on the wharf to wait for a boat. The
self-organized vigilants were not sat
isfed at this, but went to the wharf,
caught the Chinaman, threw him into the
river, and, on his failing to drown as quick
ly as they desired, shot him to death. The
perpetrators of the murder claim that the
Chinaman had assaulted young white
girl, the daughter of one of the slayers,
but others say he meant no harm to the
girl and did nothing to alarm her,
only putting his hand on her face
to attract her attention. The names of the
parties connected with the affair cannot be
ascertained, but they are prominent citi-
zens. The body of the Chinaman has been
found, and some of his slayers arrested.
The town is said to be divided into two
factions, one desiring to shield the GRIM
inals and the other endeavoring to have the
law enforced.

bought tickets to Cincinnati. Nothing
more was thought of the matter until
Thursday morning, when Buck Kelley and
another man went to the shanty and dis
covered an old pillow and mattress in the
house
BADLY STAINED WITH BLOOD.
This raised suspicion, and they commenced
search, and 100 yards down the ravine
from the house they discovered the remains
of man in a fresh mound of dirt. They
quit digging and summoned the coroner,
when it was discovered that the remains
were those of Antoni Nicoli, the boss OF
the gang. The remains had rope about
five feet long about the neck
and his skull was crushed in
by what appeared to be the poll of an
axe or by heavy club. The rope was
used to drag the body from the scene of
the murder to its burial place. There is
some evidence going to show that the other
Italians had threatened him, believing he
was responsible for their not getting their
pay, and this most probably was the cause
of the deed, as Nicoli had neither money nor
valuables to tempt them. The last seen of
Nicoli alive was Saturday, May 2. This
night is believed by the neighbOrs to be the
one on which he was murdered. The in
quest is now in progress in this city. The
three companions of NicOli are supposed to
have gone to Sharon, o., to work on the
public works

BOSTON, May 16.-Edwin Booths only
daughter, Edwina, was married this noon
at her fathers home in Chestnut street to
Mr. Ignatius G. Grossman. The wedding
was witnessed by about sixty persons, IN
Guiding friends from New York and other
cities. William Warren was the only rep
resentative of the theatrical profession
present. The officiating clergyman
was Rev. Cyrus A. Bartol, D. d. The
floral decorations were superb. The sister
and brother of the groom offlciated as first
bridesmaid and groomsman respectively,
and, as was appropriate, the orchestra per-
formed Hungarian airs before and after
the ceremony. The wedding breakfast and
attending festivities occupied several hours,
during which Mr.. Booth aud his daughter
were the center of interest and received
congratulations of friends with manifest
delight. The new candidates for welded
happiness left for New York, from where
they will sail for Europe Wednesday next,
returning sometime in August to visit Mr..
Booth at New York.

Construction BOSS Murdered.

KoKoMA, Ind, May 16.-Last fall a
company of eighteen Italians procured work
on the Lafayette & Burlington railroad,
four of whom it seems rented an old out
building on the farm of Mrs. Livingston,
twelve miles west of this city. When
winter set in and work was sus-
pended these four Italians, who
were all that remained of
the eighteen, worked about the neighbor-
hood at odd jobs and lived as they could,
until Tuesday, the 5th, in hopes of getting
money due from the railroad company.
Monday they were seen burning rubbish
near their cabin. Tuesday they boxed their
things and hired conveyance to take them
to Fleming, stating to Mrs. Livingston
that they were going to Chicago,

WINNIPEG, May 16.-Reports from the
West indicate that so far the Blackfeet and
Bloods are under proper control, and have
not as yet shown any desire to be hostile.
These tribes have always been on the best
of terms with the mounted police, and dan
ger in dealing with these would have arisen
had the government sent an officer among
them with whom they were not acquainted
during the absence of Capt. Cotton. This
officer, who is the commandant of the Fort
Mcleod district, has made thorough study
of the habits and language of these people,
and the wisdom of the governments policy
in sending him Immediately at the outbreak
back to this important post is more than
vindicated by the steadfast loyalty exhibited
during these trying times by these warlike
tribes.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, May 16.-The general opin-
ion is that an attempt will be made to get
Riel off on the plea of insanity. Stories
have been freely floating about regarding
his unsoundneSS of mind. There is always
chance, however, that rifle bullet will
find him. The Dominion government is
much embarrassed by his capture. 1t is be-
lieved that the entire outfit of
Big Bear and Poundmaker, num-
bering over 1,5O0 braves, squaws,
and children are moving. They followed
but kept i'll cover. The prairie is dotted
with cattle which have given out from IA
tigue on the trail of the Indians. The trail
ran south of Stoney reserve, in the direc-
ton of Saskatchewan. 1t is thought that
the Indians are unaware of Riels defeat.

Sheridan sustained slight injuries in the

has been in times past greatly troubled with
dyspeptic tendency. The extent Of this
weakness he kept concealed as much as
possible. A private message states the gen
eral can retain little if any food since the
accident. 1t is feared that the shock may
so aggravate the former weakness as to
make what appears trivial at first very
serious matter in the end.

duel had been fought here on Thursday
evening between two well-known Creoles
was made known for the first time to-day.
The men are Fernand Armant and j. B.
Leveque. both belonging to prominent Gre

to the regular Creole style, with ''oliche-

Ponchartrain, near Spanish Fort, lasting a
quarter of an hour and resulting in the seri-
Gus wounding of Armant. Levegue's blade
penetrated above his elbow and came out
through the shoulder of his sword arm,
rendering any further fighting impossible.
There seems to be a revival of dueling
among Creoles of this city, this being the
second fought this week, in both of which
one of the principals was wounded.
