Want Increased Pensions.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 30.-At a
meeting of ex-soldiers held at Terre Haute
preamble and resolutions were adopted,
demanding the passage of a law granting
pensions to all surviving soldiers, sailors
and marines of the war of the rebellion
who served sixty days or more at the rate
of Ss per month. The proposed law is not
to effect pensioners who now receive more
than So per month. Widows of soldiers.
sailors and marines, the act demands, shall
be pensioned at the rate of S12 per month,
and children at the rate of S5 per month up
to the age of 16, unsound and physically
disabled children to receive pension without
limit as to age. An act embodying these
demands will be introduced and advocated
by James F. Johnston, representative from
the Eighth district,

Murder and Suicide.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 80. At Mt.
Pleasant, a village near this city. to-day, a
terrible tragedy was enacted. E. N. Ger
riti, an Italian, was beating his wife. when
his brother, S. Gerriti, and James Column
burn, an insurance agent of this city, inter-
fered in the woman's behalf. The wife,
with her four little children, escaped from
the infuriated husband. who. incensed at
the interference, crept up behind Column
burn and fired three shots at him, one of
the balls lodging in the spine and inficting
what is thought to be fatal wound. After
shooting COlumburn, Gerriti fed to his farm
about quarter of mile distant, pursued
by the town marshal and a posse. He
locked himself up in his house. and the
posse being unarmed, detied them to arrest
him. While his pursuers were deliberating

A warning to organ Grinders.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 30.-Vincent Man.
CELIA and Salvador Lorcicie, Itali an organ
grinders, were entertaining large crowd
with their music at the corner of st.
Louis and Charles street, last night.
While Lorcicie was grinding out the music
Mangella waited by his side. He was
leaning against the pole of the Louisiana
electric light at the corner, when suddenly
flash of Ii ght was seen to descend the
pole. He uttered one scream and fell for
ward. Lorcicie caught his friend as he
fell, and he, too, was knocked down.
When the two men were picked up it was
found that Mangella was dead, killed by a
stroke of electricity, and that Lorcicie's
head was burned to crisp by the same
fluid. The strange feature of the case is
that the Louisiana electric light has no
power as yet, and it does not commence un-
til next month. 1t is thought that the wire
of another electric light company must
have crossed its lines. The electricity ran
down the crane of the line on the hosting
wire, and it being damp night the circuit
was grounded. Mangella was unfortu-
nately within the circuit and killed by the
electricity, and Lorcce, when he came to
the rescue, was struck by the same force.

IN A LEAD COFFIN.
Nevyberry's BODY Transported to
America in the Usual Vyay.

America III the Usual Way.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-Regarding the
story of the burial of Walter L. Newberry
Of Chicago in cask of spirits, the Tribune
says: On Oct. 80, 1868, Mr.. Newberry
sailed on the steamship Pereire, and was
found dead in his berth on the morning of
Nov. Z. The captain was making prepara-
tions to bury the body at sea when pas
senger, who knew of the dead mans social
position, interviewed and succeeded in hav-
ing the body kept until the vessel arrived
at Havre. A day or two afterward the
body was placed in one of the quarter boats
which hung over the side. and a tarpaulin
was lashed across the boat. This DISPOSE
ton of the body was well known to all the
passengers, one of whom is authority for
the statement. On Jan. 6. 1869, the health
department of the city of New York, issued
a transfer permit to w. L. Morris for the
body from Pier No. SO, North river, the
pier Of the French line, to Chicago. When
asked yesterday if he had received MI.
Newberry's body in a cask of rum as re-
ported Mr.. Morris laughed derisively.
II certainly did not he said. eff any
body had been consigned to me in that way
certainly should have noted the fact. ! do
not remember the circumstances attending
the shipment of Mr.. Newberry's body, for
the reason that 1 receive a large number of
bodies every year for transfer all over the
country. 1 am confident that it came in the
regular way, packed in lead case as the
French government exacts in the case of the
transfer of BODY
Dr.. Nagel, chief of the bureau of vital
statistics, showed the reporter the regula-
tions established by the French government
in regard to the transfer Of a body. In
every case, where the distance to be trav-
ersed is over 200 kilometres, lead coffin
must be used, and such coffin was UNI
doubtedly used for the body of Mr.. New
berry.

The Rent Question Uppermost.

The Rent q question UpperInost.
LONDON, Dec. 30.-Earl Cowper. who
was lord lieutenant of Ireland under Glad
stones administration. has written to the
Times in regard to the Irish question. He
says:
Home rule for its own sake is not desired
by the Irish. Any one can see by perusal
OF the Irish newspapers published during my
own term of Office in Ireland that they do not
reveal single mention of the home rule
scheme, but are solely involved in discussing
the question of rents. The late Isaac Butts.
who may be called the originator of the ma
tional and home-rule movements, and William
Shaw, eX-member of parliament for the city
of Limerick, who was a member of the home
rule league, failed to attach the Irish people
to their schemes, and Mr.. Parnell will meet
with the same fate, except in an appeal to
their pockets. The strike against the pay
ment of rent will soon be bigger difficulty
for the government to deal with than was
ever the home-rule question, and must even
tually interfere with imperial interests.
Mr.. Edward Stanhope. vice president of
the council, in speech to-day, said:
Englishmen will not allow Irishmen to die
tate what policy is best for the welfare and
interests OF the nation. Many persons are
anxious to promote the discussion of the
Irish question with view OF securing an al
teration of the constitution, root and branch,
but 1t is to be hoped that the WISDOM OF the
house of commons will prevent their designs
from being accomplished.
Mr.. George o. Trevelyan, formerly chief
secretary for Ireland, made speech at
Stratford this evening. Referring to the
Irish question, he said there could be no
halfway between the complete separation
of Ireland and absolute imperial control.
Unless it was intended to keep the care of
the law and order in the hands of the CEN
tral government, it would be better to re-
peal the union. He commented upon the
proposition to give Ireland a parliament
and at the same time allow Irish members
in the English parliament

Wedged i'm a Chimney.


WILMINGTON, N. c., Dec 3o.-Lass
night Leander Smith planned to rob the
store of Robert Pugh & Co., about nine
miles from here. He climbed to the roof
of the building and divested himself of all
his clothes and then tried to slip down the
chimney. In doing so he loosened brick,
which fell down in MI. Pugh's chamber un-
derneath. Mrs. Pugh, alarmed, got up
and, as the night was cold, placed match
in the fire place, which was
filled with light wood ready for
kindling. Smith had in the meantime
got half way down the chimney and there
he stuck fast. He was unable to get out.
The harder he struggled the tighter hs
wedged in. Smoke from the fire under
meath began to ascend. which made his con-
dition unbearable. Thoroughly smoked and
careless of detection, he at once yelled
loudly for help. His cries brought the
whole town out. A windlass was procured
and by daybreak, after enduring much suf-
fering, he was got out and landed in jail.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Judge Carleton
of the Utah commission, who is here, says
his observation leads him to believe that
polygamy is gradually disappearing among
the Mormons. Only small proportion of
the Mormons are polygamists. A polyga-
nous Mormon in Utah to-day would make
poor showing in comparing the number of
his wives with those of Joseph Smith or
Brigham Young. Even Bishop Lee, who
had only nineteen wives, including one very
old and ugly one, whom he married just to
save her soul, would beat three or four of
the best families to-day.
II don't believe" he said, ''that in Utah to-
day there is a single man with more than
seven wives"
where do the MormOnS come from, prin-
cipally?'
'Well, they come from all parts of the
world, but mainly from Europe. A larger
proportion, perhaps, comes from Denmark
than from any other country. There are a
good many Germans and
GOOD MANY ENGLISH,
but very few Irish. They come, also, from
various parts of the states. Strange as it
may seem, the register shows that there are
more men than women. l suppose that most
| of the Mormons in the territory were born
there, and it is evident that more boys are
born there than girls"
''Does plurality of wives mean an i'm
mensity of children?"
''Well, no; not exactly. I think that one
man with six wives would have more num-
erous offspring than one man with one wife.
but not so numerous as six men with six
| wives.'
''Since the church colnpels the men to sup
port all their wives and children, it is to be
expected that only the wealthy would be
polygamists?'
''That is not so. Very poor men, indeed,
have several wives. The poor are more pious,
and polygamy, you know, is part Of their re-
lioiOu.''

stayed his leave of absence about week.
This preyed upon his mind, and rather than
submit to a court martial and it's disgrace, he
decided to die. Early yesterday morning he
arose, dressed himself and reported for duty.
He subsequently returned to his quarters and
shot himself in the head with a revolver, tho
ball entering his brain. His death is but q
question of few hours.
Henry G. Kemper, aged 65, the proprietor

used could be found. The murderer obtained
less than dollar from the money drawer.
Suspicion points to an unknown mulatto seen
at the store before the murder.
David Richards, an engineer on the st. Jo-

Whipped the Rebels.

CAIRO, Dec. 30.-A dispatch from Koseh
says: Lieut.. Gen. Stephenson, commander
Of the British forces in Egypt, who recently
arrived here with large reinforcements, at
tackled the rebels who mad been menacng
the garrison for several weeks. A three
hours fight ensued, resulting in the British
troops capturing Giniss, a village near
Koseh. The rebels were completely routed.
The cavalry is pursuing the enemy. Two
guns and twenty banners were captured.
The English lost one officer killed and
twenty-one men wounded. The Egyptian
allies of the British lost six killed and thir-
teen wounded. A recent report stated that
Arabs at Giniss and Abair numbered 1000,
of whom 1, 100 were rifiemen. They had
six guns and plenty of ammunition. The
guns were placed in earth works and the
line of fire was direct on the Nile so as to
oppose the passage of a steamer. Abdi Ell
kader PaSha, minister of war, formerly
governor of the Soudan, said, in a recent
conversation on
THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION::
If the English retire on Wady Halfa thew
must retire on Assouan, and if on Assouan
then on Cairo. Every pace in advance gives
the English 100 friends. Every pace in re-
tiring gives them 200 enemies-half in front
udil III rear. EuSlduu may gam victory after
victory, but if they are followed by retreat
the English government has uselessly wasted
blood. There is not one in ten who will not
believe in Englaud's defeat. 1 say that re :
tirement now would be fatal.
When asked whether the question was in
solvable he replied:
No; it requires two things-frst, q fixed
policy to crush the rebellion; second, money.
Let England attack the enemy in force, and
after the latter's defeat, open negotiations
with native emissaries and with money Eng
land could detach the soldiers who are now
the backbone of the rebellion, and also some
tribes who were always jealous of each other.
When asked what sum would be required.
the minister said
Perhaps e2, 100000, but this policy would be
the cheapest in the long run.
The rout of the rebels was so complete
that Gen. Stephenson is hopeful that it will
Obviate the necessity for further operations.
The Arabs fought stubbornly. Five
emirs were killed. Twenty dead Arabs
were found in one house.
