JAY G0ULD'S DAUGHTER.
Announcement of Her Coming Marriage TO
Mr.. Washington Z. COnnor.

New YORK, Feb 81. Miss Nellie Gould, the
charming eighteen year old daughter of Mr.. Jay
Could has given her heart to her fathers bach
elor partner, Mr. Washington E. Connor. At
first it was received with incredulity, the young
ladys youth, the fact that she has not made her
debut in society, and that Mr.. Copnor was al
most twenty-five years her senior. and had with
stood the tender and fascinating endearments of
several of New Yorks most famous bellies, all
tended to throw an air Of doubt around the re-
port but like a tiny pebble dropped into a
brook, the story that Mr. Connor was to for
sake his elegant though lonely apartments
at IA East Forty fifth strest, and become
a truly good benedict. with Miss Gould
as his Beatrice gathered force with every repe-
titiou and yesterday little less was talked Of ON
the street, Exchange and in the Union League,
St Nicholas, Union ard other uptown clubs.
ConnOr refused to confirm deny the report.
and when this became known many Immediately
accepted it as true. Miss Nellie Gould is one
of the brightest and sweetest little ladies in the
city. She has been finely educated and is highly
accomplished. She is artist of no mean
ability, and her collection of bric,a brac. which
has been adorned by her pencil and brush has
been greatly admired. She dresses plainly bnt
richly and when in town can be seen any after
noon driving through the park with her brother
George, and Wash by her side. She has at
tended one or two private germans. bat cannot
be said to have entered the gay society whirl.
She is quite reserved and to certain extent
retiring traits strongly characteristic of her
father, the king of Wall street She is prob
ably the richest heiress in America, and ON
her fathers death will come in for 500 900 600 or
3O,000,000. Mr.. Connor has been partner with
Mr.. Gould since 1876. While he cannot ha
placed in the catalogue Of handsome society men
of the city, he has singularly attractive face,
bright blue eyes and most engaging manners
He owns the famous steam yacht Ttowana. and
is member of the American Steam Yacht
Club. He was born in Spring street and is a
New Yorker in its truest sense. He is very ab-
stemious in his habits, and is rarely seen in So
ciety. Young George Gould is his chum. and
between them the sincerest affection exists
Mr.. Connor can draw his check for 300 600 and
Is recognized leader in Wall street. Many
have had the erroneous impression that Mr.
Connors success and his present wealth have
been due to great extent to his close intimacy
with Mr.. Gould. This is n great mistake. Mr.
Connors present position has been secured by
indomitable nerve, financial honor and shrewd
and vigilant determination to grasp all opportn-
mites offered him.

Additions to the List of Dead.

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 22.-Possees left Austin
and San Antonio for the scene of the tragedy,
to aid in the capture of the desperadoes, while
Deputy Looring organized a posse at New
Braunfels last night and instantly started in pur-
suit. They found the dead body of Pitts short
distance up a lane from the scene of
the tragedy and came upon Yeager,
eight miles distant Yeager gave fight,
and was pierced by three balls
fred by the posse; he was disabled,
and was then taken to New Braunfels, where he
died. The four men who accompanied the
women are under arrest; they are confederates
of the dead desperadoes. The excitement over
the death of Gosling is intense.
LATER-Mrs. Drown, mother-in-law of Pitts,
died at A. NJ, in the Jail at New Braunfels. in
ent places, three of which were mortal. The two,
at the request u Mrs. Drown were buried
side by side today. Miss Rosa Yeager, to-
gether with the wife of Pitts a2d the wife of
her brother, are incarcerated in the
second story of the Jail, while
their male confederates are incarcerated
in the lower cells at New Braunfels, where they
will be held until the talk of lnyching subsidies.
Deputy Marshal Mannings, who made
gallant fight against the des-
peradoes, is lying in precarious
condition. Gosing was born at Shelbvville.

Naval Academy, studied law in Washington
City, located in Parsons, Kan, and removed

fession as a criminal lawyer.

A Compliment to the General-NIr. Randall
and the Senate Bill.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-Thcre is one feature
of the vote the proposition to call UP the
bill to retire General Grant that have not seen
commented upon," said Representative Miliken,
of Maine, today. "a careful examination of the
vote shows that about six men who were in the
confederate army voted for him and al the rest
against him. There are sixty or more of the lat
ter A comparison Of this vote with the roll-call
on the Fitz John Porter bill shows that every
ex-confederate soldier who voted against Grant
voted for Porter I do not think that his late
enemies could have paid him a higher
compliment. They were willing to place
the man who helped them on the retired list but
could not conscientiously place Grant in the
same list It's hard on the ex- President, but
he was able to make these rebs remember him
for twenty years"
The belief is general that Mr.. Randall will try
to secure the passage of the second Senate bill
during the last days of the session In this he
will have the support of every Republican
and quite a good many Democrats
Even among those who voted against
the bill last Monday there is a growing feeling
OF a desire to reconsider. The attitude of Gen
eral Rosecrans on that day has won Grant
friends. No one thought that 'Old Rosey"
would SO far forget himself as to allow his per-
sonal resentment to influence him to such an
extent as to make him forget the truth and at
tack man on crutches. "Old Rosey" has al
ways borne an excellent reputation for fairness
hitherto. He has by his attack on Grants fam
lily alienated his own friends and cemented
those of Grant more closely to him.

In all matters of patriotism He is the first to

enthusiastic political healer By the latter part
of the present week every business house in
Washington located on the line of march of the
inaugural procession will be gay with
flags, streamers, wreaths and garlands
But the saloonk keepers began two
weeks ago. They are always ready
for holiday and are all Democrats for
this occasion. Four years ago they hailed with
delight the inauguration of Garfield. This year
business promises to be better than it has been
since the war. 1t is a long time since the polit-
ical complexion of the administration has been
changed Thousands upon thousands of the
very hungry and very thirsty" hordes will come
to look at the promised land. They
will come with capacious stomachs and some
money; therefore, the saloon element is
the first to throw out the sign
of festivity and gayety. News has
been received here that the Buffalo Democratic
Legion, 400 strong, will swoop down on the
capital During the campaign this legion had
tho reputation of being the greatest beer drink
ing organization in America. An enterprising
saloon keeper has learned where they will put
up and has ordered a carload of Buffalo beer
for the occasion. He will reap benefit The
saloon men are sharp for the main chance, and
when the thousands of strangers arrive here
each will find that his particular tipple is on tap,
and easily accessible. Such is American patri-
otism

How the Mahdi Is To Be Destroyed.

LONDON, Feb. 2l.-Tne War Office finds it ex-
ceedingly difficult to put forth an explanation of
the Soudan disasters and retreats which will
keep up the enthusiasm of the people and at the
same time make them tolerant of delay The
a masterpiece of ingenuity. They announce q
plan of campaign which is only equaled for brill
liant strategy by the man who, being foored in
a fight kept his opponent down by inserting his
nose between the opponents teeth. Gen. Lord
Wolseley is now strainng every nerve to get the
scattered portions of his army together prepara-
tory to retreatng down the Nile. If he succeeds
in making that retreat, q heartfelt Thanksgiving g
will be sent up from many homes in England
The prevailing fear now is that Gen. WolSeley,
with what troops he has at kOrti may be COM
PEELED to retreat best he can, leaving the little
bands under Gems. Brackenbury and Butler to
their fate. In the face of these gloomy facts,
the War Office asks the public to believe that
Gen. Wolseley is simply drawing the Arabs into
a trap. The theory is that Gen. Woseley is in
clined to allow El Mahdi to concentrate his
forces at Berber, believing that he will by that
time have become SO full of fanaticai zeal that
he will want to proceed to Mecca, and there pro-
claim himself the head of the Mohammedan
Church and the Commander of the Faithful
To do this Ell Malidi would have to march his
troops across the Bshareen desert and hills
from Berber to Suakim, and there embark for a
voyage across the Red sea to some point on the
coast of Arabia whence march to Mecca would
be comparatively easy. The place where the
Mahdi is to be entrapped while carrying out this
programme. which Gen. Wolseley is said to have
arranged for him, is Suakim. To get to the
coast Ell Mahdi would have to attack and capture
Suakim, but by the time he could get to Suakm
Gen. Graham would also be there with the
flower of the English army. Thus the task of
smashing the Mahdi' is to be rendered easy

KoRTI, Feb. pa dispatch from Abu-Klea
says General Butler, who arrived here on the
18th from Gubat, commenced at noon on the 18th
systematic sheling of the Arab lines Two
welldrected shots did the enemy great damage,
one exploding amid group engaged IN placing
howitzer on the summit of a hill east of our
sailors fort, and the other removing wheel
from a gun carriage Lord Charles Beres-
ford also did the enemy great injury with his
Gardner guns The honors of the day
fell to Major Wardrop. who with thirteen men,
stole cautiously round the enemy's right and
found they had only four hundred rifemen
on the hills and no reserves of spearmen.
Wardrop's men, keeping out Of sight, sent vol
leys at a range of eight hundred yards on the
enemys flank. Leaving one man at this point
as quickly as possible pursued the same tactics
at three successive hills giving the
Arabs the impression that fresh bodies of
British troops were arriving The Mahdi's
forces became panic stricken, ceased firing and
decamped toward Metemneh. taking their guns
and dead and wounded with them. A few Arab
scouts only are left, three miles off, to watch
our movements. There has been no sign of the
enemy since. General Butler will advance to
Gakdul as soon as reinforcements arrive from
Korti. The British loss during the engagement
was four killed and twenty-five wounded"
The Soudanse around AbuKea wore the
Mahdis uniform, showing that a contingent has
arrived from Khartoum. General Butler will
be unable to resume his retreat until he obtains
additional means of transportation. The second
convoy, with camels, which is taking General
Butler ammunition left Gakdul on Friday
morning.
Another account of the skirmish at Abu- Klea
Wells, on the 18th, says Before the rebels
fell back there was some very active fighting
but it was confined to the sharpshooters on both
sides, as the Arabs did not come near enough to
General Buffers entrenchments to make the
volley firing effective For the same reason, and
also on account of the scarcity of ammunition, the
machine guns were not brought into action.
The loss of the British was three killed and two
wounded. General Wolseley thinks General
Butler will be able to make his way back to
Gakdul Wells without serious difficulty"
