Terrible Mistake of New Orleans
Druggist,
Captain Farrell, the Great Detective, Dead,
from an Overdose of thea
Deadly Drug.

NEW ORLEANS, La, January 23.-Capt.
Mike Farrell, the head of Farrell's police
and detective agency, and one of the best
known detective officers in the South. died
suddenly last night of what was supposed
at the time to be congestive chill. This
morning, while preparations were being
made for the funeral, the doctor in attends
ance expressed some surprise at the sud-
Genness of the death, and the Coroner was
making an examination, when VIM. Mel
ebert, a druggist who had put up. Several
prescriptions for Farrell, rushed in to
warn him against one he had put up the
previous night, and in which he had by
error put t%entyfold as much aconite as the
doctor had prescribed. 1t was too late,
however, Farrell having died almost inn
deadly poison. Captain Farrell was the
head of the largest detective agency in the
South, and the second largest private
police force in the country. A few years
ago he organized the harbor police
here, and his force was found so effectual
that the guarding of the entire river front
and all the vessels and steamers was con-
fided to him. He had the policing and
guarding of the banks and insurance COM
panies of the Exposition grounds, besides
having large force employed in policing
portions of the city where there
was scarcity of regular officers. He
made tour of the country few months
Exposition, selecting q dozen men from
each of the leading cities, so that they
would be able to spot all the home crooks
and pickpockets. His force consisted of
fve hundred men. Farrell generally acted

MORE DESTRUCTION.
Several More villages OverwIielmed WITH
Great Loss OF Lille:

ROME, January 22.-An avalanche buried
hamlet of fifteen houses at Chiamounte,
in Piedmont. The cries of the buried peo-
pie are distinctly heard. Two thousand
soldiers ate endeavoring to rescue them.
Fifteen houses were destroyed at Frassini-
ere, and eleven persons are still buried be-
meath the snow. Most of the telegraph lines
on the Italian frontier have ceased working,
owing to avalanches. The winter has been
one of extreme severity throughout Europe.
Many more villages in Italy are reported to-
day devastated by avalanches, and the
havoc and slaughter are described as APP
palling. Most of the ,causaulties seem to
have occurred in the Province Of Ceento,
sonth of Piedmont, bounded by the Mari
time Alps, many spurs of which intersect
the province. In Northwest Ceento the num-
ber killed is stated at 40, and Al corpses
have been recovered from the ice and
snow, in which they were entombed. The
village of Valgrana, on the Grana River,
and neGr coS.-.5, a., ,;s.ittiy destroyed ;i;d
many persons killed. Twelve houses were
demolished and forty persons killed at
Deveio. The village of Rabasso is almost
completely buried under the snow.
Scores of people have been killed there;
and over two hundred men, women and
children are wounded, homeless and in
awful distress, and more than three
thousand men in the province of Ceento
are engaged in addition to the soldiers,
recovering the bodies of the dead and res
cuing the living. Troops are also stationed
at the entrance of the Vale della Marie
anches may be expected, to prevent per-
sons from entering them. It is reported
two hundred persons perished in avalan-
ches in the district of Iorea and Aosta.

General Robinson to Remain in Congress.

WASHINGTON, January pa very in
teresting question has arisen in the case of
General Robinson, the present Secretary of
State, of Ohio, and Representative of the
Kenton District. 1t involves the question
of his remaining in Congress for the
balance of his term, and right to ex-
ercise the duties of the State position
at the same time. The short time In
tervening until the 4th of March makes it
almost impossible to order new election
for successor, while the interests of Gem
eral Robinson's constituents it is main.
tained, will be better served by his contin-
uance. Inquiries have been received from
Ohio by the Speaker and First Comptroller
Lawrence regarding the legality of such
an arrangement. The Speaker is the
exclusive judge in all matters relating
to the compensation of members, and it is
Judge Lawrence, who finally passes on
members accounts, says he has carefully
looked up the law on this subject,
and he finds nothing to prevent General
Robinson from holding both offices and
drawing both salaries. There is, the
Comptroller says, no incompatibility in the
duties of these two offices. The require
ments of the Office of Secretary of State do
not require the presence of its incumbent in
Ohio. All papers can be signed here as
well as in Columbus and be perfectly legal.
As to the question of double salary, the
friends of General Robinson say that if this
arrangement is made he will draw pay only
as member of Congress. He will of
necessity transact great amount of busi-
ness for his constituents by mail.

UNDER THE ICE.
Sad Affair by Which Young Man and
Two Small Children Lose Their Lives.

BALTIMORE, Nd, January 23.-Jesse K.
Robinson, aged thirty 1.-TWO years, and two
children of Mrs. Matte Newbold, residing
in Northumberland County, Virginia, were
drowned yesterday while sliding ON the
ice near Heathville Mr.. Robinson had the
two children, aged five and nine years re-
spectively, on a large sled, pulling them
along the ice which covered the river for
miles. When about a hundred yards
from shore the ice gave way
and all were precipitated into the
water. The children disappeared at once
and were carried away under the ice by
the current. Robinson made every effort
to rescue the children, but, finding it i'm
possible to do so, endeavored to save his
own life. He tried to secure footing on
the ice, but it broke repeatedly under him,
and at last, becoming exhausted, he too
was drowned. Mrs. Newbold, mother of
the children, was standing on the shore and
witnessed the drowning of her two child
ren and affianced husband. Robinson
and Mrs. Newbold We're to have been
married next week. Invitations had
been issued for the wedding, and a new
house completely furnished for the occu-
pancy of the couple. Two years ago Mrs.
Newbold's husband was drowned near the
scene of the tragedy of yesterday. While
wharf he lost his footing and fell under
the steamers wheel, and was unable to
save himself. The body of Robinson was
recovered, but those of the two children
have not been found. Mrs. Newbold is
critically i'll, and fears are entertained that
her reason will be dethroned by the terrible
ordeal.

The Soudan War.

PARIS, January 23.-The RepubHque
Frdncdise considers the result of the battle
between Stewards troops and the Arab
rebels at Abu-Klea wells as an irrenediable
check to the advance of the English on
Khartoum, and says it trembles for the fate
of General Stewards force. Private advices
received late this afternoon from Korti as
sert that the rebels surrounded General
Stewart in the desert, where he has taken
up an intrenched position to await rein
forcements from General Wolseley. De-
serters from the rebel lines state that the
Mahdi's officers consider the affair at the
Abu-Klea wells a drawn battle. The
Arabs were neither routed nor pursued,
and fell back in an orderly manner, not in
the least demoralized by the outcome of
the engagement. They recovered them
selves SO quickly and effectively that Gen.
eral Stewart dared not move, and was
compelled to intrench himself on the scene
of conflict. Government officials dis
credit the information conveyed
in the above private dispatches.

Fight with Mexican Bandits.

YUMA, ARIZONA, January 22.-Troop NJ,
Fourth Cavalry, arrived last night with
twelve Mexican bandits as prisoners. Four
others We're left on the field dead. Troop E
is after others, and expects to make them all
prisoners to-day. Lieutenant jenkins was
the only American who received injury and
it is slight. The dispatch does not state
who the bandits are, but it is sup
posed they are a portion of those Mex
lean soldiers who mutinied at Encenada,
Mexico, on the 18th instant, and killed
their commanding officer. Lieutenant
Jenkins returned to-day, bringing two
more Mexican bandit prisoners, making
fourteen captured and four killed. 1t is
believed Lopez, leader of the band, is among
the killed. The prisoners say they We're
compelled to take the life of Commandant
Rico, as he had defrauded them out of two
years pay. They refuse to explain why
they murdered the Commandant's wife, or
give any information about the remainder
of the family.

Eaten by Wolves,

KANKAKEE, ILL, January PA. H.
Butts, Secretary of the Chicago Lumber
Company, has just returned from log
ging camp near Metropolitan, Mich, a
point in the pineries forty miles north of
Escanaba. He says that the night before
he left the camp the mercury ad dropped
to forty three degrees below zero. This was
the climax of four days of very extreme
weather. That night an old trapper and
Indian hunter, named Tom Dudging, re-
turning from hunting, was killed and eaten
by wolves within two miles of camp. The
wolves there are more numerous and bold
than usual, on account of the scarcity of
small game. His friends searching for him
next morning found his closely gnawed
bones and thirteen dead wolves lying near
him, pierced by his rifle balls, and his Win
chester rifle by his side with one chamber
still loaded.
