Or, Where Shall the President Elect Make
His Headquarters While Visiting New
Tork?-Local Party Managers Disturbed.
NEW YORK, January q.
There is a struggle between rival fac
tions among those who aspire to control
Mr.. Cleyeland's actions in regard to his
stopping place during his coming visit to
this city. The fact that the National and
State Democratic Committees made the
Hoffman House their headquarters dur
ing the campaign makes that the
fayorite rendezvous of certain
class of politicians and has led its proprie-
tors to expect a continuation of Mr..
Cleveland's patronage. Senator German
and others of the leaders at Washington
favor the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and it is
said German has written Cleveland advis-
ing HIM to go to that hotel because it is
known as family resort and will COM
port better with Presidential dignity than
the more palatial hotel in which Ed.
Stokes shines. The rumor about
this letter has disturbed local
managers of the party, who resent it as
an impertinence. 1t is said, however,
that Mr.. Cleveland has replied to Senator
German that he will follow his advice.
Rooms have not been engaged yet at
either hotel, but ex-senator BarRum,
Chairman of the Democratic Committee,
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last
night, and it is understood that he is with
Senator Gorman in this controversy.

The Religious Wave That's Sweeping Over

READING PA, January %.
A religious wave is sweeping over
the villages of Berks County, and many
hundreds have already been converted.
The upheaval is reaching all classes of
society. Presiding Elder Dickinson, of
Philadelphia, is the moving spirit at these
meetings, which are held nightly.
At Morgantown small village, over
eighty persons have processes religion
There is only one person in the village
who remains uncOnverted. He is an in
fdel. The people came together for
miles around and the roads leaving to
the meeting-houses are nightly lined with
carriages. The hotels have voluntarily
stopped selling strong drinks.
At Joanna, near here, some sixty per-
sons were converted in one night. Entire
villages have become praying COmmuni-
ties. Joanna has become a temperance
place, and the hotels are doing no busi-
ness.
A sect known as the "Minnenlte Brcth-
ren in Christi have organized in many
small towns. They baptize by immersion.
The new converts and the members
march from the churches to the river in a
body, singing, headed by the Deacons
who carry axes with which they chop
away the ice which is frequently ten
inches thick.

A SINGULAR CASE.

A Lady Thirty Years of Age Who Never
Spoke to Any One But Her Mother and
Sister Until the Death of the Former
Loosened Her Tongue.
LANCASTER, PA, January %.
Emma Sensenich, of Beartown, is nearly
thirty years old, and never spoke to any
one but her mother and two sisters.
Although tenderly caring for her father
in his last illness four years ago, she
never spoke to HIM. She was the only
one present when he died. She went to
school and obtained a fair education,
but never recited a lesson or
spoke TO teacher or school mate.
When a child her father tempted her with
gold pieces to speak to him, but she
would not or could not speak. She has
always abhored men, but was fond Of
the society of ladies, answering their re-
marks simply with smiles. Inheriting
some money she bought house, which
afterward became the parsonage of the
Bridgeyille Church. Her mother acted
for her in the purchase Of the house.
Last Thursday upon coming down
stairs suddenly she found her mother
lying on the floor in the agonies of death,
and before assistance arrived the mother
had died in the mute daughters arms.
Since then she has talked freely TO every
one gentlemen from that sectien to-
day says she continues to talk but offers
no explanation, if she has any of the past.
The family is prominent in this county
and the case Is exciting much attention.

MELvILLEs AMBITION.


He is Ready and Anxious to Make Another
Arctic Voyage IL some One VIII Furnish
the NeedfuI-A Volunteer Crew at His
Service.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 2S-
Chief Engineer Melville, of Arctic fame,
mas issued an address to the American
public, wherein he expresses his belief
That the time is now ripe for the making
of final and successful voyage to the
North Pole. The route, he advocates, is
by way of Franz Josef Land, and he de-
clares it to be an entirely safe and feasible
ono. 1t would be, he thinks, an actual
saving of life to make the at
tempt now before knowledge born
of experience expires, and he
trusts there is some man in America
t'who will rise to the occasion and from
his abundance supply the paltry sum
requisite to fit an Arctic expedition"
This sum he places at $50, 900, provided
the transport ship is only chartered, or
$4,000 if it be retained, which, he as
serts, is not necessary. He will write, he
says, the name of his patron across the
face of the Polar Continent. He has
volunteers for every position connected
with the proposed enterprise.

THE BUSTED BOOM.

Couch and His Boomer Colony Making q
Their Way Back TO Kansas-The story
of tho Surrender which Gordon Of Blue
Coats Induced -Disgusted But StiIi Deter
mined,
CALDWELL, KAN, January %
Advices' from the seat of operations In
Oklahoma confirm the surrender OF Cap
tain Couch and party at saltwater Camp
Couriers have arrived who state that az
ter a number of conferences between
General Hatch and Captain Couch, the
latter made no concessions on his threat
at the start to fight It out.
/ The night previous to the surrender the
General moved his forces so as to partial
ly invest the camp Of the boomers. This
was done quietly, and without hostile
demonstrations. The next morning a line
of blue coats was observed by the settlers
in close proximity, and about eight
O'Clock a formal and peremptory demand
was made upon Captain Couch and party
to surrender. Every soldier was at his
post fully and splcndidly armed, ready
for any command that might be given.
The boomers taking in the surroundings
at glance, saw that discretion was tho
better part of valOr, and quietly, but sui
lenly Yielded to the inevitable.
understanding
the surrender acknowledged, the troops
and boomers met personally as friends,
and preparations were at once begun for
a march to the Kansas line. III the
weather proves less stormy than II was for
several days before the surrender every
effort will be made to make an expeditions
march out of the Territory in order TO
take advantage of the ice bridges over
Salt Fork, some fifty miles south OF the
Kansas line.
General Hatchs forces, on their march
into the Territory, were detained at this
ford for three days, and only crossed by
utilizing the cold wave TO construct an
ice bridge by throwing water with pans
and cups on the thin coating Of ice until
it froze hard and of sufficient strength to
bear their weight.
IL this ice should break before they
reach his point on their way back, IL will
cause considerable delay, as that stream
is known to rise rapidly and remain q
rushing torrent for days. This will no
doubt Induce the soldiers and settlers TO
use the utmost dispatch to cross at this
place at the earliest moment.
The defeated colonists feel very bitter
over the situation, though there IS no Ill
feeling toward the soldiers. They ex-
press great disgust and bitterness toward
the administration that has cOmpassed
their defeat They say they are deter
mined to make a lodgment on that dis
puted ground, and viii try the temper OF
of the Incoming administration, and they
look forward with some hope as TO the
outcome.
The force under Captain Couch expect
ed reinforcements, and it is stated by tho
latest adYices that party Of about forty
persons from Cofeyville had arrived I'm
sight of the boomers camp; but when
General Hatch sent q company TO cut
them off they. broke to the rear, aud dis
appeared as suddenly as they came, and
nothing has been seen of them since.
A courier left here last night with In
structions to reach General Hatch
whether en- route or in camp, and viii re-
turn at once. 1t is thought that the Cen
eral win reach here tonight.

NEW YORK, January %.
Captain Endstorm of the Swedish
brigantine Natal, who arrived Saturday,
had thrilling experience with mutineers
while on voyage from Boston to Bris-
bane, Australia, involving the death of
three persons, the terrible woundlng of
the Captain, and the injury of others on
