We regret to announce this.,week


We regret:to announce this week
the death of our well-known5 and
highly esteemed fellow=townsman, E.
NJ. Aisquith, Esq, who died on Sat
urday evening last, in,the 10Th year
of his age. He was at one time post
master at this place, and was one Of
the celebrated ''forty-ninerso who
went from this section to California,
and but few of whom are now living.
He had been an invalid for a long
while, and was taken with pneumo-
MIA last week, which hastily termina-
ted his life. The intimacy of an oc-
cupation by him of portion our
room for his insurance business for
ten years or more, afforded us an OPP
portunity of studying his character
closely, and we may say that whilst
his convictions were always deep, his
friendships were warm and true, and
we learned to admire and appreciate
him more with each recurring year.
May the clods of the valley rest
lightly upon his grave, and He who
doeth all things we'll comfort and sus-
tain his stricken widow and children
in their sad bereavement.

A LETTER
From J. }. Mackey About the Hazen.
Darlington COntrOversy-NOtes
From Lieut.. Greedy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL.
The National Republican prints this morn
ing letter from j. J. Mackey of this city,
counsel for Gen. Hazen. in reference to the
Hazen-Garlington controversy giving at great
length General Hazen's side of the case
The writer presents certain facts, which he
says conclusively proves that to extend the
thanks of Congress to Lieut.. Darlington, as
proposed, would be to falsify the truth of his
tory. Appended to the statement is a copy of
letter written by Lieut.. Greely when he be-
lieved himself near death and deposited BY
him in cairn at Cape Sabine, where it was
found by the Schley expedition. The letter
is dated April l3, "a, and tells of the starva-
ton and suffering of his men. Part of the
letter is as follows:
| cant refrain from saying had Lieut. Gar
lington carried out your orders and replaced
the twenty-four gallons Of rum and one hun
dred and twenty gallons of alcohol in Eng
lish caches, and two hundred and ten pounds
of mouldy English breadstuff, English choc-
olate and potatoes, melted sugar and two
hundred and ten pounds of rotten dog bis
cult, we would, without doubt, be saved

within month or six weeks of the final re-
lief. DIR. Pavy, however. has been systemat
ically plundering his crippled patients from
November till April. Besides, Sergeant Ell
lison and myself who have deferred him. and
four others have sworn to having seen him
as stated. Public opinion may curse the man
if he, (as seems possible), lives to return.
write as from my grave, and with no personal
or bitter feeling.

GEN. GRANTS GIFT.
The Reason Why Friends of Gen. Grant
stopped Raising Funds to Prevent
the Sale of His Property.

New YORK, Jan. -.
The following statement, made by friend
of Gen. Grant, makes clear the action that
was taken to protect the General and why the
movement for raising the fund was stopped:
"Two or three weeks ago there appeared to
be danger of sheriff 8 sale of Gen. Grants
official commissions. medals, souvenirs from
foreign countries and other precious and per-
sonal effects. Hearing this, and with what
appeared to be sure evidence before them
that the danger of such sale was imminent,
some of Gen. Grants friends resolved to pro-
tect these historic and treasured objects,
and also his other personal effects, by buying
them at their appraised valuation or at such
sales if the opportunity was offered they
would have furnished money for the purpose.
In looking into the legal points of the case it
was found, that contemplated, was friendly
action on the Fart of Vanderbilt, to obtain
legal title free from any further lien, and
after acquiring possession to preserve such
personal effects and souvenirs for Gen. Grant.
In view of these facts and of Gen. Grants
letter to Cyrus w. Field, further action in
the matter was dropped. The generous offer
of Vanderbilt, just made known, preserves to
Gen. Grant and American people, the treas
ured objects that it was the purpose of his
other friends to protect"

THE PHELAN AFFAIR.
What the English Papers Say About
Rossa and Phelan.
LONDON, Jan. l2.

LONDON, Jan. 12.
The newspapers speak in satirical man
ner of O'DonovRn Rossas prudence in being
absent from his office during the fracus FRI
day. The Times says that if there be grain
of truth in Phelsn's revelations, they would
offer sufficient cause 10 England for demand
ing Kearney's extrsdition.
Phelan visited Hull in June. 1888 He was
carefully watched by detectives who occupied
adjacent rooms in the hotel where he stopped.
During his absence the detectives examined
his luggage, but found nothing of CON-
promising nature Phelsn had great assur-
snce and sudscity, and hearing that he was
watched, visited the chief constable and COM
planned of espionage. and threatened to COM
plain to Sir VIM. Hsrcourt unless the police
desisted from watching him.
He represented himself as travelling on
behalf of the German government on secret
and important mission. He produced papers
purportiug to be signed by gentlemen of high
position in New York. which proved to be
bonstide papers. Thew seemed TO indicate
that Phelsn had been captain in the u. s.
army, and also n New York police officer.
Phelsn produced a revolver and asked the
constable whether if arrested the revolver
would connect him with fenianism, adding
that he always carried q revolver for self
protection. The constable was deceived by
Phelan's professions. and telegraphed to Lon
don, nothing the police of Phelan's departure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. u.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.
The petition of Mrs. Belvs Ann Lockwood,
candidate of the equal rights party for Pres
ident in the late campaign, which was pre-
septed to the Senate by Senator Hoar, asks
that the votes cast for her IN New York, New
Hampshire, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mary
land, Illinois and California be corrected and
that the electoral vote of Indiana be given to
her. She asks that the Senate refuse to re-
ceve the electoral returns of the State of
New York OF count them for the alleged ma
jorty candidate for she had 1886 votes which
were polled in said State for your petitioner,
and had they been counted for her and not for
one Grover Cleveland he would not have
been awarded the maj jarity of all the votes
cast at said election in said State. The rea-
sens for asking that the electoral vote of
Indiana be cast for her, she saws, is "That
after the electoral college Of that State had
cast Its vote for aforesaid Grover Cleveland
it changed its mind, as it had a legal right to.
and did cast its united ballot for your
petitioner"

GLOVE CONTEST.
Glove Fight-Sulli.
van Awarded the Contest.

Boston, Jan. II.
At late hour in the afternoon the board of
aldermen granted licence for the Sullivan
Greenfield glove fight. The contest took place
tonight in the presence of 2000 spectators, at
the Institute Fair building. Those who ex-
pected to see slugging match were disap-
pointed throughout. Four rounds were fought
and comparatively light blows were given.
On the whole the exhibition was decidedly
fiat. Sullivan was in no condition to fight
and police Capt. Twombly is quoted as say
ing that had Greenfield been disposed, he
could easily have knocked out his antagonist.
Jimmy Caldwell acted as referee. Before
the men left their rooms they were warned
by Capt Twombly and they promised that
there should be no knocking out. The first
round ended slightly in Sullivans favor, while
in the second round the audience hissed the
men for loafing around the ring, an occur
renee which was repeated in the fourth round,
when the fight was awarded to Sullivan, as
having made the most scientific points.
