TORTURED A CHILD.

WALL1NeFoRD, VT, Feb. 17.-Joseph
White and wife were convicted Friday
of maltreating Ida Terry, about 10 years
old. Aroused by the screams of the
child one night, neighbor drove three
miles to awaken a grand juror, who
with two other men drove to the place
and arrested White and his wife. The
child presented a pitiful appearance.
Her feet we're blistered where she had
been compelled to stand on hot stove,
it is charged, until she sank down
in agony. It is also charged that pins
were pushed through the child's ears to
fasten her to the wall, and that the girl
was compelled to run her tongue against
the window casing while needle was
driven through the child's tongue to
fasten it there. At another time, it is
said, the girl was held under a pump
and stream of water pumped upon her
head until she was so exhausted that the
Whites could not revive her,
and were compelled to get the
help of neighbors. When in court
the chiId's body was found covered
with black and blue spots, while her
back was a network of cordlike ridges.
The child had been with the Whites
since she was 2 years old. Her father
is in the far West, and paid 800 year
for the care of his child. White testi-
fed that his wife made him assist in the
cruelties. The justice fined White
only $5 and Mrs. White $40. Saturday
night three masked men caught White
in his barn and after beating him or
dered him to leave the town. The child
has been taken care of by the authori-
ties. Both the Whites were members
of a church, which has expelled them.

SHE SHOT TO KILL.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Mrs. Yseult
Dudley was arraigned at the Yorkville
police court, this morning, for shooting
ODonovan Rosa, February 2. Rossa
was not in court, and the prosecuting
officer announced that he had not called
him, because there was such excitement
at present that an extraneous measure
might interfere with the orderly ad-
ministration of justice. Ex-Judge
Fullerton and Lawyer Butts appeared
for Mrs. Dudley, who sat composedly
near her counsel and listened intently
and but with little concern to the
testimony of the witness for the people.
When the prisoner was asked by the
witness whom she had shot, she
said: "O'Donovan Rossa." Witness
asked why, and was told by the prisoner
that she had shot at Rosa. because she
wanted to kill him and the reason for
such desire was "that Rosa was an
enemy to my country" Sergt.
James Gaynor, who was at the desk at
the station house when the prisoner
was brought in, testified to having taken
the pistol and produced it in court.
Thepeople then rested their case and the
defense stated that no testimony would
be put in at this stage of the proceedings.
Justice Patterson consented to fix the
bail at $4,000 for the prisoners appear
ance before the grand jury. Mrs. Dud-
ley was remanded pending pearance
of her bondsman.

Persisted IN The SNOW.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18.-George
Schenck, a fireman, and Isaac Ivens, a
sawyer, aged 80 years, both residents of
Nays Landing, N. j., walked from that
village to Egg Harbor City, on Satur-
day last, a distance of nine miles. Late
in the afternoon they started to return
in binding northeast snowstorm.
When half the distance had been tray
eled, Ivens succumbed and sank in the
snow. Schenck took him in his arms
and partly carrying and partly dragging
him over the snow, made slow progress
until he lost his way, and then took to
the abandoned Egg Harbor City Rail
road and endeavored to reach his place.
On arriving at Bugketchem Swamp,
about two miles FROM here, Schenck
was SO much exhausted that he could go
no further with Ivens, and after con-
sultation it was decided that Schenck
should go on ahead and send assistance
to his unfortunate companion. AS he
started away, however, Ivens begged
him: "For Gods sake, don't leave meP'
Schenck soon lost his way, and, blinded
by the snow and bewildered, tramped
through the forests until about 4 o'clock
on Sunday, when he reached home
much exhausted. A searching party
several hours afterward found Ivens
frozen to death. He leaves wife and
four children. The snow is 81 inches

TO WATCH THE IRISH.

KANSAS CRY, Feb. 2O.-It trans
pires that Capt. Thomas Phelan, who
arrived here from New York, on
Wednesday night, was accompanied by
two New York detectives, acting as a
body-guar0. One of them is Detective
Fred Harshaw, of the New York Metro
politan force, and the other q repre-
sentative of the Hodges Detective
agency. These gentlemen will remain
in the city until Phelan's safety is as
sured. Detective Harshaw, in an in
teryiew, states that it is positively known
than Kansas City has been selected by
the English government rs the outpost
of secret service circuit extending
from New York to New Orleans and San
Francisco. He says there are five we'll
known British agents in Kansas City
now and resident agent, or chief of
the circuit, will be located there to
watch the movements of all suspicious
Irish clans or individuals.

GOVERNING CITIES BY GENERAL LAW.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 18.-Early in
he session, the standing committee on
cities was instructed by Assembly reso-
luton to report a bill for the govern
ment of cities under general law. But
the committee, after thoroughly inves-
tigating the matter, discovered that the
proposition involved SO many special
difficulties, that it considered itself
quite incompetent to report satisfac-
tory measure, so now proposes that the
supreme court judges be requested to
perfect bill to be presented to the
next legislature This resolution is a
great relief to the large lobby assembl 9
here from several of the smaller cities
of the state. It seems that these cities
do not relish the idea of general law.
The claim is made that in the present
formative condition of the state, the
small municipalities are continually de-
veloping new wants which cannot be
foreseen in the present era of expert
ments; they fear that general law will
not be flexible enough for them, hence
have done their best to assist the COM
mittee in advising no action at this ses-
sion

BRAVE BOYS ARE THEY.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The first battal-
lion of Gold Stream Guards, $40 in
number; started to-day for Suakim.
They left Wellington barracks amid
pathetic scenes of leave to-day. Rela-
tives and friends assembled in force to
bid the departing soldiers farewell.
Many affecting episodes occurred.
Mothers hung round the necks of sons,
wives chung to husbands and children
said goodbye to fathers between sobs.
Many men brushed tears away as they
babe their soDs or brothers hearty
farewell. The guards marched with
difficulty through the throngs of
women, children and friends
to Westminster bridge where
they took a steamer for Gravesend.
As they embarked, the band struck up
"Auld Lang Syne" and followed with
"Home, Sweet, Home" The steamer
moved away from the pier among cheers.
At Gravesend the Guards embarked for
Suakim. The entire route from the
barracks to the bridge and the Thames
embankment were crowded with people,
who cheered in an enthusiastic manner
as the men passed by. The men pre-
sented a spendid appearance and went
away in the best of spirits.
A detachment of hussars left Alder
shot to-day for Portsmouth, where they
embark for Egypt. The steamer Tyne
sailed to-day with reinforcements and
horses for Soudan.

RAILROAD LITIGATION.

PITTsBURG, Feb. I'm the suit by
J. B. McGraun, contractor, of Lancas-
ter, Pa, against the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie Railroad for $500,00O for extra
work alleged to have been done in
building the road, the motion of counsel
for the road for non suit was granted
by the court this morning. The case
was stubbornly fought by leading at
torneys and is regarded as test case of
railroad construction law. The ground
of the non suit was the failure of Nc
Graun to show that fraud was practiced
on him by the Vanderbilt people and
others owning the road in the final
settlement with the contractor, in view
of the South Pennsylvania's coming
into competition with the Lake Erie,
one of Vanderbilt's most important
PENNSYLVANIA lines.

TWO DROVERS KILLED.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 16.-Intelli-
gence has just been received here of a
collision between two stock trains near
'Conemaugh, on the Pennsylvania Roa d
early yesterday morning, by which two
Chicago drovers were killed and a
tramp, stealing ride, seriously injured.
1t appears that the first section of the
train stopped at South Fork, on account
of an obstruction on the track, and be-
fore the conductor could send fagman
back to notify the second section, it
came laundering along and crashed in
to the rear of the first section, COM
pletely demolishing the caboose. VIM.
Keller and JOS. Erb, two drovers, who
were sleeping in the caboose, were
killed instantly, and an unknown tramp,
who was riding on the rear was badly,
but not fatally hurt. The remains of
Keller and Erb were brought here and
shipped to Chicago this afternoon, in
charge of Andrew Bomers.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. ia
collision occurred on the East Penn
sylvania, Virginia & Georgia Railroad,
eight miles from this city, at 10 o'clock
this morning, between south-bound
Atlanta express and freight train.
Engineer Jim Tracy, Fireman Reed and
passenger were severely injured. The
details have not been ascertained. A
misunderstanding of orders was the
cause of the accident.

MARIE.GARRlSON.

New YORK, Feb. 19.-The tables were
turned in the interminable Marie
Garrison case, and now proceedings are
pending in the supreme court in which
Commodore Cornelius K. Garrison is
plaintiff and Peter Marie and others are
defendants. This last step caused
another delay in reference to the case,
which was in progress, as all proceed
ings have been stayed by order of the
supreme court. Peter Marie's suit
against Garrison, which has been pend
ing for the past eight years, involves
nearly $8,000,000. An order was OBJ
tanned by Garrison last week requiring
Marie & Co., plaintiffs in the suit before
the referee, to show cause why they
should not be enjoined from further
prosecuting that suit, until the deter
mination of the action brought in the
United States courts for the Eastern
District of Missouri, in which the plain
tiff is the Pacific road of Missouri and
the defendants are Garrison and others.
This motion was heard to-day and de-
cisiOn reserved.

THOSESUITS AGAINST GOULD.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 18.-Concern-
ing the quo warrante suits recently
brought in the supreme court, by At
torney-General Boone, against Jay
Gould and several of his associates, to
show cause why they shall not be ousted
for being officers, directors, ETC., of par
allel and competing railroads in this
state, in violation of the constitution,
Thos. J. Ports, general attorney of
the Missouri Pacific road, de-
MES that the Missouri Pacific
and Wabash and Iron Mountain
and Missouri, Kansas & Texas are par
allel and competing lines, as alleged,
and states that case of this kind can
only be determined by jury. It will,
therefore, have to be sent down to the
circuit court for trial. He also thinks
the informations filed by the attorney
general are demurrable and demurrer
will probably be fled in the supreme
court. In any event, he thinks it will
be long time before the case can be
decided.

WAR NOTES FROM EGYPT.

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Dispatches from
Korti state that Arabs are DESERVING
from Metemneh in large numbers and
entering the British camp at Gubat.
1t is reported to-day that the riotouf
conduct of unemployed workmen yes
terday and the growing feeling of dis
content among the same class in other
large business centers, created strong
feeling In government circles in favor
of accepting the offers from several
colonial governments of volunteers for
service in Egypt. It is deemed unwise
to make further drafts on the home
troops. Victoria, New South Wales,
will send contingent composed of 700
men for service in Egypt. Combined
action on the part of all colonies for
furnishing a large force of volunteers
for the Egyptian service is suggested.
Lord Lansdowne, governor-generalo of
Canada, and Earl Derby, colonial secre-
tary, are exchanging kilograms in re-
gard to the enlistment of Canadians for
service in Soudan.
Gen. Wolseley telegraphed the gov
eminent of New South Wales, from
Korti, that he looks forward with pride
and pleasure to the time when he shall
have colonial soldiers serving in his
command. He thinks if England &C.
cepts a regiment from New South
Wales for service in Egypt, that it will
only be fair to allow Canadian regi-
ment to enter the same field.
Cavaso, who reported the news of
Gen. Gordon's murder to Wolseley,
adds that Gordon's clerk and the chief
clerk of the arsenal were also killed.
The Mahdi only entered Khartoum
three days after it's fall. He inspected
the place and returned to Omdurman,
where heremaius. After Gordon fell the
Arabs killed his clerk and nine others
with spears. The rest of the garrison es-
capped. With the exception of this at
tack there was no fighting in Khartoum.
All the Europeans and most of the
notables were killed. The inhabitants
joined the rebels. No women and chill
dren were killed. All who submitted
gave up their valuab1es and were al
lowed to depart unframed. It is re-
ported that the Mahdi hanged Pacha
Farag. The rebels plundered the town
and killed all the Greeks in the
arsenal. All the prisoners were freed
except the italian consul Nicola, and the
doctor. The Mahdi has 1000 good
fighting men, who, however, have been
frightened at the results of the battles
at Abu-Klea, Gubat and Kabbabish. Z
is stated that Cavaso is Gordon's serv-
ant. He secured his escape by bribery.
He bought camel and crossed to Deb
beh in twelve days, and from there pro.
ceeded to Korti in an English pinnace
Gen. Stewart, who was wounded at
the battle of Abu-Klea, is not expected
to recover.

PROPOSED TRUNK LINE.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Feb. 19.-The Off
GERS and directors of the La Crosse
Iowa & Southwestern Railway, and the
Canada, La Crosse & Southwestern,
met here to-day for the purpose of con-
sol1datlng the two companies. This
will unite the two projected roads run
ming from Sault Ste. Marie to st. 10.
The right of way has all been secured
from La Crosse to st. 10. A large
amount of aid has been voted and con-
siderable grading done. A scheme is
being developed to make this grand
trunk line crossing the country diago-
nally from the pines and minerals of the
North to the grain and coal of the
Southwest. The officers state that the
line will probably be built from here to
st. 10 inside of three years.

SEVEN BLOODY ROUNDS,

New YORK, Feb. IA prize fight
came off early this morning, in a hay
barge lying in basin, between two
leaders of rival gangs of roughs in
Brooklyn. The principals were Billy
McCarty, bricklayer, and Tom Breezy,
driver of an ice wagon. The former
is 20 years old and the latter three years
younger. The fight was with bare
knuckles and was not completed until
one of the principals was knocked
down. The encounter, though short,
was bloody. The men fought seven
rounds and when time was called for
the eighth round they made such a
feeble response that the referee de-
clared the fight draw. Both are ter
ribly punished and could hardly be
recognized. They were carried from
the barge to their homes.

THE NEW BLUE BOOK.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 1S.-The COM
piler of the blue, J. E. Heg. is almost
ready to furnish copies of the new
work. The book has been changed in
size. It now has the same size of page
as the supreme court reports and other
state publications, instead of the square
IL mo. style of previous years. There will
be found several changes of matter and
arrangement in the new volume. The old
legislative annals, which were growing
yearly and occupied nearly one hundred
pages, have been taken out. and the in
dex of names extended by giving the
year the person named was in the Leg
islature, what house he was In each
year, and the locality he represented.
This will save a great deal of trouble, as
under the old arrangement the person
who was hunting up the official pedigree
of Wisconsin statesman was obliged TO
run all over the blue book to trace him
up in his successive offices. The tables
ofvotes are fuller than ever before-made
possible by the enlargement of page
and on the same page may be found the
population and all the votes in general
elections for the past four years. The
proceedings of the different Wisconsin
state political conventions in 1884 are
given; also the platforms, state and
national. There are several new tables
such as the voting population by
towns and the state financial exhibit
all of which are very complete. There
are five new pictures, to wit Birds eye
view of the State University, Madison
Fish Hatchery, Soldiers Home at Mil
waukee, Milwaukee Normal School and
Girls Industrial School at Milwaukee.
The frontispiece is the Capitol, done in
colors. The state map is corrected to
date. The new volume has many new
features and though the annals
are abolished, the page enlarged and
many Anticipated features eradicated,
there are about 500 pages against
about 900 pages of the old
style. The indexes have all
been revised and it is expected that
hereafter it will be much easier to find
information in this valuable state publ
cation than heretofore. The first edi-
ton of the book is 5000, each member
getting 30 copies, but the demand upon
the Legislature is already so strong
from all portions of the state, that the
second edition is being loudly called
for. The cost of the work to the state
is about ST per volume,

WARLIKE STUDENTS.

BERLIN, Feb. 20-At kommers of
students of the university, to-day, the
rector, DIR. Dornburg, in proposing
cheers for the Emperor, referred to the
protests of the students of Paris against
the display of German emblems at the
funeral of Wales, the Socialist journal
list, on the 10Th inst. DR.. Dornburg
said the Germans undoubtedly desired
to live at peace with France, but should
it become necessary the students of
Germany, mindful of the past, would
know how to assure the welfare of the
country
